FRENCH WOMEN ASK
THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
The French Senate has just re-
ceived a communication which 81
evidently did not expect. This is
an order from the Philippeviile
branch of the League Of the Rights
| of Man. asking the Senate to pass
| without delay the measure adopted
4 by the French chamber, proclaim
ing the equality of the two sexes.
II 10 some time, as a matter OF
| fact. since the Ligue des Droits de
| rHomme has studied minutely the
que stion of woman suffrage. As long
| ago as 1909 on the report Of Nine,
Maria verone, and on the PROPOSE
| tion of Francis de Pressense, the
annual congress of the Ligue des
Droits de rHomme. which was then
held at Rennes. passed a resolution
! as clear rs II was precise. affirm
! ing the justice of the womcn't
| claims. Women then only claimed
! a vote and eligibility for the mu-
| nicipal councils, general councils
and district councils.
! Francis de Pressense intervenet
in the discussion and made q speeci
similar In tone to that which Rene
Viviani uttered from the tribune o.
the French Chamber a short tint
ago. No. there was no excuse. Tht
injustice was radical. and II must b.
radically repaired. The extendet
resolution which Francis de Pres
sense proposed amidst unanimoui
applause was immediately carried
And since then there has not beer
one congress of the league at which
the question of the women's vot'
has been raised which has not con
firmed the vote OF the congress o.
1909. So IL seems unlikely that a
the present hour all the branches o.
the Ligue des Droits de rHomm'
which have so many times expressed
their desires on this subject. should
remain mute, whilst the Senate
stands up in hostility against th'
measure adopted by the chamber b,
a large majority. Women owe II Il
themselves to intervene in the bat
tie. The Philippeville resolution Il

SKETCH OF
 WELL-KNOWN ALASKAN

Donald A. Mckenzie, pioneer Alas kan, who died recently at Washing ton, D. C., came to Seattle more than quarter of century ago from New York State, where he was born and reared. Just before the admission of Washington territory to Statehood he l became prominent in Seattle and ter rltorial politics. He conducted the campaign which made former Terri. torial Governor Elisha P. Ferry, the Republican nominee for governor and the first governor of the State of Washington. He was the first deputy collector of customs after the estab- lishment of sub-port of entry at Seattle.
 He came to Alaska and was made United States commissioner at Cold foot, on the Koyukuk Later he be- came identified with propositions to open Alaska with railroads, and or ganized one or two companies to build roads from the coast to the Interior. He was the owner of the townsite of Nelson on Cordova bay. His promo tion took him to Washington, where he was married half dozen or more years ago, and where he spent the latter years of his life. He was about 65 years of age. At the time of his death. he represented one of the largest associations of textile manu- lecturers in the country at Washing ton.
 Donald Mckenzie had many friends on the Pacific coast and the National capital, to all of whom he was loyal always. He was a hail fellow, mixer and of fine ability.
