STRONG ONLY
 MAN CONSIDERED

That Governor Strong is the only man considered for gubernator- iaI honors in Alaska, is the state ment made last Sunday by Frank Whitely, secretary of the Demo- cratic Central Committee, who passed by on his way from Washing ten to Fairbanks, his place of residence, says the Juneau Dis patch. Mr. Whitely said that even if in ordinary times anyone had any chance to step into the present governors shoes there is not the to think, Governor Strong's admin istration, in the first place, is too busy to bother about making chang es. Ill the second place, he seems to thkin, Governor Strong's admin istration has been so satisfactory that change is not in contempla- tIon.
 MT. Whitely, as stated, is from Fair banks and has just come from the national capital. While speak ing of Fairbanks it is recalled that Tom McGoan who was here a few days ago has become so thoroughly disguested with the manner in which official Democrats are con- ducting affairs in the Fourth divi- sion that he has resigned from the central committee.

 Guatemala has broken off dip- lOmatic relations with Germany. President Cabrera assigned as the reason that he wished to stand by the United States in the fight for democracy and the preservation of international law. He also stated that there was increasing evidence of Ger man plots which threatened the peace of Central America. With Guatemala breaking with Ger many, the United States is af- forded access to coast waters as far south as the Panama Cansl except Mexico and Honduras. The U. s. tank steamer Vacu- um was torpedoed Saturday while returning from England. She was armed and had crew |of naval gunners abroad but they failed to discover the sub. marine.

Two More Suffrage States.

The legislature of Rhode Island and Michigan have granted pres idential suffrage to women, and the legislature of Vermont has given municipal suffrage to tax paying women.
 Women now vote for president in eighteen states. The mpor- tance of the extension of the suffrage right in Rhode Island is that it is the first jump the women have made over the Ale gheny Mountains. Suffrage is to be voted on in Maine and New York this year, But the actual voting of women in Rhode Island without the cslamities and dis asters which the antis dread, will be a splendid object lesson that will spread suffrage in the East rapidly.
 The Michigan victory merely consolidates the middle states group-Ohio. Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. Next year proba- bly, Kentucky. West Virginia. Wisconsin and Minnesota will be infected with the contagion.
 This years victories are Arkan- sas. Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Rhode Island, an addi- tion of one-third to the suffrage area in one year! If a similar propOrtionate gain comes next year, nine more states will be added. and a majority of the American states will have women suffrage. And then-the fire works!

Why Not?

1t has been suggested in some places that a company of men 40 to 55 years old should be organ ized. and that the business men who should form such 8 com- pany, should meet and drill regu- larly through the summer months. and longer. if necessary.
 These men would not drill for active service, but they should be ready for emergency duty if such duty should be necessary. There may he need of men of men of this class as bridge guards or patrols.
 These drills would set a splen- did example to the boys of Franklin County of military age.

PLOWSHARES ARE SWORDS

Ordinarily, agriculture has been considered one of the arts of peace, but it seems that a war was necessary to awake m the minds of the American people a real appreciation of the value of crops, and the importance of making every foot of ground do ihs bit" in winning the war.
 Never has such a propogands for better farming and more de- pendable farming been in evil dence in the United States, Hun- dreds of schemes are being de- vised for making all of the lana produce it's crops. and hundreds of plans are being discussed for securing the labor necessary to handle the largest crop acreage the country ever has known.
 Undoubtedly much of the cam- paigning for backyard and vacant-lot gardens started before the war was declared. and was caused by a general desire to re- lieve the high cost of living due to the food shortage, but since the declaration of war the plant ing of a garden and the raising and harvesting of all the food possible has come to be c0nsid- cred an act of patriotism equal in importance to actual service with the c0lors.

 Miss Miller introduced her subject, Woman Suffrage" with a quotation from MT. Will. sons war message to congress, We shall fight for the things we have always carried nearest our hearts, for democracy. for the right of those who submit tc authority to have 8 voice in their own government" To every  woman who reads this message must come at once the question, "'lf the right of those whO.snb. init to authority to have g voice in their own government is SC sacred in the case of foreign people as to constitute a reason for entering upon an interna, tional war in it's defense. why defer the enfranchisement of one-half the population in ouI own country?"
 If we would have onr voice heard by the nations of Europe, nations which. with bone accord, are increasing political liberty within their own borders, we must speak with sincerity our
