A Chief Justices Views.

The opinion of Chief Justice Walt CT Clark of North Carolina is of great value. He says:
 Under the United States constitu- tion woman is eligible to any office from the president down. The word fe- male or male is not used in that in- strument as a qualification or dis qualification to hold office. Why should it be when until recently a wo- man had been for GA years, with great credit to herself chief executive of Great Britain and empress of India, ruling over about one-third of the population of the globe and one-fifth of it's area? Besides even now the queen of the Netherlands is doing more to keep her people satisfied than any other ruler in Europe"
 The election of Miss Janette Ran kin is quite shock to the moss backs. But if a woman can be chief execu- tive of Holland, surely an American woman IS competent to any position to which the people will see fit to elect her.

scarcely any business organization which cannot, if the matter is gone about carefully, find means of econo- mixing on little things. A great many firms with the present strin- gency in the paper market are using circular letters, and letters that have no value, as second sheets for the typewriter. Envelopes are cut up and are used for memoranda. A great deal of money is wasted on telephone and telegraph tolls when, by thinking far enough ahead, the mails would answer the purpose. In case of doubt, all letters should be weighed before being mailed. Eoun- tain pens save ink.

It is within possibility that the wo- man elected from Montana to repre- sent that state in congress may hold the balance of power for the whole na- ton. Congress is very evenly divid- edy between the Democrats and the Republicans.

The British cabinet was thunder
 struck when Sir John Simon asked the pertinent question, "Why should women who had factories, find them selves left in obtaining the ballot ?' Lord Derby, who was the great re- crultlng agent of the cabinet, has de- clared that women are now "part and parcel of the army" To consider the woman who makes ammunition for the country of less value than the sol dier who fires it is absurd. As the minister of amunitions declared, "The man who would now deny to women the civil rights she has earned by hard work, is nowhere to be found."

ALASKA'S
The Territory Pays Back Forty.two
Times Its Cost.

BY the last report OF the mineral
production of Alaska, which has Just
been issued by the Federal Govern
mcnt, we are reminded of The exceed
ingly profitable real estate transaction
that was made thirty-nine years ago
by William II. Seward. then Secretary
OF state.
The mineral received from the soil
of the Territory in 1915 represented a
valuc of S32. 1914 ,229. This was more
than 1900, 900 in excess of the pro-
duction OF the year before. The re-
port also says that since 1850, when
mining first began in Alaska, the Terri
tory has produced gold. silver. copper.
tin and other minerals to the value Of
$500. ISL. But this by no means
represents all the wealth that this
valuable northern possession of ours
has produced.
Recent explorations have shown
great primitive forests which are
yearly growing in value. The soil Of
the south and of nan Of the islands
is highly productive and brings enor-
nous yields for the labor expended
10y the settlers.
Russia ceded this storehouse of
wealth for 200. 900. Considered
purely from n monetary point OF view
and calculated in terms of dollars and
percentage this was one Of the most
profitable real estate investments that
have ever been made.
