TO PRESERVE SKELETON.

.
Toronto. Ont, April 9.-The skele-
ton of Inferno-the greatest race
horse ever foaled in Canada-is to be
preserved. The idol of the Canadian
turf was put to death recently at the
Ontario veterinary college. Inferno
II years old.
In 1902 the thoroughbred was
foaled at Joseph Seagram's farm at
Waterloo. Three years later he won
the Kings Plate, the blue ribbon of
the Canadian turf, at the Woodbine
spring meeting. The Inferno won
the King Edward Hotel cup three
years in succession, captured the Dur
ham cup twice and carried his owners
colors to victory in such classics as
the Toronto cup, Queens hotel cup,
Stanley Produce stakes and the Do.
minion Autumn handicap.
The skeleton will be kept at the

III Humble Man.

The Humb a
He might have prospered by a cum
ming trick,
BY mean advantage reached a
splendid goal:
He might have ,stifled conscience
over-uuick
To hint of deeds which undermine
Wealth h had ' been his for living out a
But gold and silver at such price
he spurned.
"I'll brave the world and hold my
head up high" 49,
He answered, taking only what
I've earned"
Had he but left his children all alone
While he went out in search Of
worldly fame g.
High rank and pomp of power he
might have known. a
For these are joys that selfishnessk
may claim. u
But he preferred to tread a humber
way. "a
To be a father good and kind and
wise:
To be with them he loved and share
their play arr
And find his pleasure in their
laughing eyes. "
He spurned the plaudits of the throng
to keep
The comradeship Of his devoted
few,
He never held a friend he loved so
cheap
That he dismissed him for a great
er new.
And though he passed at last, not
widely known.
His soul went on without one seal
or stain:
The Joys of earth had all been his to
OWn.
And he was sure he had not lived
in vain.

THEY VOTE AS CITIZENS

The Minneapolis Journal desotes an editorial to the
behavior of the women voters Of Chicago at the recent
election, and points out that on each proposition the
womenHs vote closely paralleled the vote Of the men. The
records show that in most cases, if not in all, the candi-
dates who received a majority of mems votes received
substantially similar ,najorities of the womens vote.
On the issue Of local prohibition which was one of the
subjects voted on, both men and women gave the ma
jority of their votes in favor of the wet policy. The
mems majority on this proposition was larger than that
of the women but in both groups the majority was on
the same side.
The experience Of Chicago in this matter tallies
closely with the experience Of other communities, large
and small, since women became active in politics. In
no important case that we recall has there been any ma
terial difference shown as between the votes Of men and
women. This fact conradicts utterly the prediction
made by many enthusiastic advocates of woman suffrage.
These persons have maintained that when women were
given the franchise they would vote differently from men,
and that the inclusion Of woman in the voting popula-
ton would therefore work remarkable changes in the
results of our elections, and in our governmental
policies.
1t seems not to have occurred to these advocates that
il their predictions had been we'll founded that fact
would have constituted an excellent reason why women
should not be permitted to vote. The only sound and
reasonable basis upon which a vote can be cast is the
basis OF citizenship. If cast on the basis of race, religion.
occupation, sex, or anything else other than citizenship,
a vote is improperly cast, and certain advocates of woman
suffrage have paid women the poor compliment Of sup
posing that they would vote as women rather than as
citizens, The fact is directly contrary to that supposi-
ton, and because it is abundantly shown that women
do, and will vote as citizens rather than as women, there
is, no reason. from this standpoint at least why they
should not vote, It is true that So long as their vote cor
responds closely to the vote Of nen no great changes
will be bfousht about by them. But, As the Journal
points out in it's article, there is benefit to be derived
from the broadening Of the franchise, and the more in
elusive it is made the more effective. is it's exercise gen.
orally. In the meantime let it be remembered to the credit
of women voters that at the polls they acquit themselves
simply as American citizens. ~

OVERLOOKING THE BRIDE.

After mental wrestling and pray
er, the pastor of Sergeant York,
world-famed soldier and slayer of
Bocnes, induced him to forego a
honeymoon trip from Pail Mall,
Tenn, to Salt Lake City, Utah. on
the ground that the proposed recep-
tons planned enroute were vain
glorious and temptations of the
devil. The sergeant at home is sec
ond elder in a Primitive Christian
church, and at the outbreak of the
war was conscientious objector in
company with the pastor and the
rest of the brethren. .=:... IT,"
Because Of his decision to remain
at home and not engage in faring
forth the world to see, the sergeant
is receiving the praise of other pas
tors, who seem to behold in his re-
nunciation of profered delights a
victory over the world, the flesh
and the devil. Amid it all, though.
points out the Cincinnati Enquirer,
an important third party has been
overlooked, the mountain maid who
is now Mrs. York. Nobody seems
to have consulted her wishes. No
doubt, like any other real woman,
she would have liked to have taken
a wedding journey, to have seen
the sights of other and PARKWAY
places, and to have accepted her
share of the creature comforts en-
couaeered so4 her travels.
It would be. Interesting to know
at this time what she thinks of the
advice Of her husbands spiritual ad-
wiser. which has condemned her to
remain in her native hamlet, there
to dream of the wonderful sights
she had expected to see as the com
panion of her honored spouse. Be
cause, it must be understood, her
influence as a restraint against the
material temptations of the sordid
was entirely ignored and she was
assigned to the same place a trunk
or vaiise would have occupied. s1

Many of US will find that our ole
jobs are gone, and some of u:
wouldn't go back to them if We
could. There is one benefit, at least
the war has conferred upon US. Il
has given US perspective through
which to view our own lives and
occupations. What we were doing
before strikes US now, in many cases
as sordid, narrow, and altogether
unsatisfactory. We kept doing the
same thing because there is an in
ertia belonging to labor of any sort
which makes it easier to stick in the
rut of established habit than to
face the uncertainty of change.
Even when We have convinced
ourselves that we are in the wrong
job, it takes courage and determine
ton to sacrifice a certainty, how
ever dull and unsatisfactory. for an
uncertainty, however alluring and
superior.
But war has made this function
of the will unnecessary. 1t has
pulled up our stakes for US. For
mer habit has lost its dominion over
US. We are free to choose again,
almost as if we were beginning life
over again.
It's question We ought to be
thinking about.

great adventure Of war, but how are
We prepared to stand the new ad-
venture of peace?

ALAsKA's OPPORTUNITY.

The news coming from Washing
ton yesterday, relative to the plans
OF the house committee on terri
tories, is the best that possibly could
come to Central Alaska, for a visit
by those influential congressman not
only will speed favorable action on
railroad legislation, but it will also
render easier the efforts of Alas
kans TO secure other needed assist
ance from Congress. The railroad
now under construction means much
to the territory, but it does not
mean everything, and when the
committeeman arrive they will find
numerous problems confronting
them, the early solution of which
will be necessary to insure the re-
population of the territory and the
development of the territory's many
natural resources.
The visit will give the committee
men the opportunity to get acquaint-
ed with Alaska and .Alaskans, 20
see conditions as they really are.
and TO check up the many state
ments which have been made al
Washington in recent years by Alas
kans and near-Alaskans The op-
portunity will be theirs to gather
information frst-hand, and they I'M
doubtedly will return to Washing
ton with a full knowledge of the
things they should know in order
to consider intelligently the legisla-
ton upon which they will be called
upon later TO act. The railroad,
they will find, is only one of d
number of federal aids needed to
stimulate rapid development and
bring permanent prosperity to the
territory.
Alaskans must be prepared, when
the congressman arrive, to show
them wha, is needed. They must
be prepared TO answer questions,
concisely and honestly, and to ad-
vance arguments that will send the
lawmakers home convinced that In
.erior Alaska is all that it has been
represented to be-an empire i'm
mensely~ rich in minerals and agri-
cultural possibilities, with vast areas
of excellent grazing lands. but ham
pered by prohibitive transportation
costs, the low purchasing value of
gold, and a lack of understanding
at Washington. 49, "
The visitors are scheduled to
leave Washington tomorrow, they
will sail from Seattle for the North
next Thursday, and they doubtless
will be ready to start over the
Broad Pass trail for Nenana by the
middle OF this month. The time
--.4 =
for preparation for their reception
is not long. We should begin now
to consider plans. It will be an op7.
portunity that may not soon be re-,
peated.
