Alabama Must Prouide for
 Women to Vote This Fall
 f Amendment Ls Ratified
Congress Could Declare Senators and Congressen Ile- gaIly Elected if Provision Is Not Made to Carry
 Out Amendment Provisions

bama pointed this out in a personal con- verSation, and stated that it would be necessary for Alabama to take action the moment the thirty-sixth state ratified the amendment. Attorneys seem to agree that the state constitution and laws will
 be automatically amended by the fed eral amendment insofar as discrimination against women is concerned, but the reg istration laws will not be automatically amended For instance one provision says positively that there shall be no reg istration of voters during the sixty days preceding the general, primary or special election. There may be some provision whereby the women can be registered anyhow, ,>but this matter must be worked out in a judicial decision.
 The suggestion of this same judge was
 that test case be made as soon as the
 amendment is ratified in order that the
 supreme court may say what is the law of Alabama after the ratification of the
 amendment. The test could be started in a simple way. woman could present herself for registration in Jefferson or Montgomery county, each of which has an ail-time election commissioner. The commissioner could decline to regis ter her on the ground that he had no authority This would start the test, and the applicant could ask for writ of mandanus requiring the commissioner to register her.
 It has been pointed out that this will be a serious matter for the state. If republican Congress should be elected, and the women of any Alabama county should be unable to register, the repub- licans could hold that the senators and congressman were not legally elected Each house is the absolute judge of the qualifications of it's members.
 Because of the sixty day clause in the registration law, it may be possible that an extra session of the legislature would be necessary. However, this does not cause the bugaboo which was caused when there was talk of another session for revenue legislation. An extra ses- sion for the amending of the states regis tration laws would be short, no more than ten, if that many, legislative days being necessary. The legislatures only duty probably would be the enactment of law providing for an emergency reg istration of all women during the sixty days preceding the November election.

Montgomery, July 10.-(Special)-I matters not what action must be taken by Alabama to give the women the fran chise when the suffrage amendment is ratified by another state, that action must be taken and provision made whereby the women may vote in the No venlber election if the amendment is ef- fective before that time. It developed during the week that Congress would have the right and power to declare Alabarna's United States senators and congressman Illegally elected if the amendment should become operative and no provision should be made by this state for the enfranchisemeht of the women

The Day of the Native-BOrn
(NeW York WOrld)


 The fact that for the past four months arriving immigrants may stir alarmsts to paint pictures Of alien perils to citizenship. Within a short time the figures of foreign born population will eloquenty rebuke such pessimists.
 In spite of the inward movement this Spring, the emigration for the full fiscal year ending June 30 exceeded immigration, has usually been the since the began. Before that giant up heaval, immigration had been heavy. In the past ten years immigration has exceeded emigration by rather more than I000,0 ,000 souls. But in the mean time the normal death rate has operated upon a foregn-bo population that began the decade with 3,515 900 and possibly in 1914 to 15 900 %
 
 The steady drain of such percentages produces effects that startling when first encountered in totals. The should show foreign born popu- lation smaller than in 1910, and probably below 12,000000. It should show that the percentage of foreign-bo which 14.7 in 1890, 1$6 in 1900 and 14.7 in 1910, has now dropped to about 12 per cent
 The day may when immigration may fairly be considered menace-though that conclusion will mean wrench away from old American ideals Such conditions still remote. At present the nativeborn American is in possession of the United States he has not hitherto been for many, many years

THE FISH PIRATES

If the represent atons of the cannerymen true, there is in the world to question them, fish pirates active this year than they have been heretofore. It is said that traps are being robbed of their catches almost daily.
 This is a situation in Alaska that is comparable 10 the stage and train robberies the frontier of earlier days. The who robbed train or stage coach a bank the point of a gun not guilty of a heinous crime than the man who rCbs a fish trap in the night. The fish pirates are more dangerous than the horse thieves and cattle thieves of the plains because there is more danger to human life in their work. The horse and cattle thieves usually operated when honest man about

 There just many reasons why the waters ot Alaska should be freed of the fish pirates as there for the freeing of other frontiers of outlawry.

ADVERTISING ALASKA PULPWOOD

The present conditions of the newsprint market existing shortages and continued high prlces' are resulting in much advertising of Alaska as source of future supplies that cannot but be beneflclal to the Territory and be of valuable assistance in getting the industry started without delay. Credit fol much of this publicity may be given to the officials of the Forestry Service, of the Department of Agriculture representatives of which have been recently giving accurate information containing facts and figures regarding extent of the of supply and the possibilities of their development in Alaska. g
 Appearing at Ashvie, N. C., before the annual convention the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association, organization comprising many nun dred of the larger well small newspapers oi the South E. A. sherman, Associate Forester, de- clared that Alaskan furnish opportunity for a permanent newsprint industry. In giving the Department's view the situation, The said:
 within five years Alaska newsprint
 should be fairly common commodity in the
 States" the speaker said, within ten years
 the industry should be well established
 within twenty years it should be developed
 to the total wood-producing capacity of the
 ,Tongass Forest-according to a rough esi-
 smate made by the Forest Service there
 70, 100000 feet, board measure, of stand
 ing timber in the Tongass region-if the
 mills were available and established D. eO0O 900 tons of print paper could be pro-
 duced this year, and the forest property
 from a standpoint of permanent production
 would be improved instead of injured.
 ''The establishment of newsprint mill
 means the investment of approximately
 $5,000,000. Extensive water power deve-
 opment takes time; the construction work
 alone takes three years-there is
 reason, however why development should
 proceed simultaneously at a number of
 different points Any outfit with sufficient
 capital will find in the Tongass National
 Forest a timbered region available for ex
 poitation without interference from any
 other outfit
 The information which MT. sherman conveyed to his hearers will be disseminated all the South It is being optimistic believe that the publicity thus given to the Territory will result in substantial investment in Alaska's timber and sadd in the industry which is now being con- ceiy6d

Progressive Banks

The progressiveness of Ark ansas bank officials and the thought they put into their work have been subjects for re- mark heretofore. not only in Arkansas, but beyond the con- fines of the state. Here is an other instance of it.
 The banks of Batesville, the Union Bank and Trust Company. the First National, and sthe Citizens Bank and Trust Company. have inserted mali page advertisement in.the Bates. vile papers warning the farmers of the grave danger that con- fronts them unless they. make sure, through germination tests. that the. seed they plant has proper germinative powers. Here is a part of the advertise ment:
 Eminent. agricultural authorit. ies all agree that this season presents the most serious con ditions we have ever been con. fronted with regarding planting seed. Cotton is our great money crop. If cotton seed will not grow, sprout. or germinate our crop will fail and distress will be the result. Much cotton IS bad this year, Wake up! Make sure. Test 1t! Go to vour county agent, or some known authority. and find how to,test.. your seed. This is the only sure way. Don't rely on cotton seed testing less than 70 per cent. At least 70 out of every 100 seed should sprout and grow. Weak seed mean poor stands and littte or no cotton. Your profit, your liv- ing. your credit depends upon good seed. Apply the same test to your other seeds. especially corn and COW peas.
