CITIZENS WORK
FOR OVERLOOK
INTERESTS
lively Association of 100 Men,
bers Seeks to Improve
Charming Suburb.

Organized less than a year ago
to better transportation conditions
in it's district, the Overlook Inn
Citizens Association has branched
out in its activities until today 1t
is back of practically all the i'm
provement projects affecting its sec
ton.
The territory whose interests are
being thus efficiently advanced is
that between Alabama and Penn
sylvania avenues and Bowers and
NayIor roads. It is one of the
more recent districts to be de-
veloped and has just started on
what promises to be a rapid resi-
Dental expansion.
Watch Out for Own Interests.
Owing to its position in relation
to adjoining sections Of the city,
members of the association declare
that there is danger of Transports
ton extensions being granted other
localities before being extended to
the territory in which the associa-
ton is interested. To insure its
being included in any deal which
may be made by the traction corn
panies with independent interests
looking toward an extension OF
service, representatives Of the
association are always present at
conferences called to consider SUCH
improvements and to voice the
demand of the Overlook section
that its interests be protected.
"As an association we favor the
traction company taking over exist
ing independent trolley interests
and operating them in connection
with any extension of service at
tempted. The company which
might be expected to extend its
service through the Overlook dis
trict is bankrupt, according to its
own financial showing. 1t, or its
head, owns a franchise and we
understand is willing to dispose Of
it and such equipment as the COM
pany possesses to the traction COM
Dany. From what we learn it is
question of valuation and the
price to be paid to effect such a
merger" said Charles Stark, pres
ident Of the association.
Highway improvement, better
school facilities, Fairgrounds and
various other neighborhood inter
ests are under consideration of the
association which is exertinS every
influence to secure for the neighbor-
hood the improvements required to
develope 1t into one Of the most de.
sirable residential districts Of the
suburbs.

Overlook is district which
offers every inducement to the
homemakers. It's location is de-
sirable and the class Of buildings
which have gone up are of a sub

be said to have more than entered
its initial stage of development.

Proud of their victorious fight
for suffrage, Americas woman-

nationwide campaign for addi-

to the Constitution providing
"euual sex rights" before all

Answers MusSOlini.
The movement was revealed by
Miss Alice Paul, national suffrage
leader, in answer to the suffrage
views expressed by Premier Mus
solini of Italy in an interview with
International News Service.
Miss Paul, who termed Italian
women "downtrodden" and declared
the women of America soon will
lead the world in their national
freedom.
The fight for enactment Of the
amendment, it was stated, will be
outlined at a national convention
to be held July 20 and 81 in Sene-
CO. Falls, N. Y. A tentative dreft
OF the amendment now reads: "No
distinction between the rights of
men and women shall exist in the
United States or any place subject
to its jurisdiction"
The movement, it was said, al
ready has been approved by Presi-
dent Harding. At a recent confer
ence between the Executive and
suffrage leaders, the President was
reported to have said: cit is a very

Senator Curtis to Lead Fight.
Suffrage leaders declared the
Congressional fight for it's enact

its passage in the next Congress,
after which the fight will be car

RAILROAD FEEDERS ARE ESSENTIAL

Twenty years ago some Denver capitalists seriously considered the project of building a railroad to run through the northern country to a point called Wales, in the ne1ghborhood northwest of Nome and then to bridge or tun- mel across Bering Straits to Russia. Now prominent engineers again advocate running a tunnel under Berng Straits so as to make possible railroad to run from Chicago to Pekng without change of cars. All of which suggests that in time Alaska will likely be a network of railroads, which will prove of material aid in the development of the poten- tial and rich resources of the Territory. The completion of the Government Railway that runs from tide water at Seward and Anchor age to the interior at Nenana and Fairbanks will prove of incalculable value as times goes on. but it will be necessary that branch lines be constructed as feeders in the development of a rich mineral and agricultural country. Whether this be done by the Government or by private capital the necessity for such construc- ton cannot long be overlooked. LlkeWlse, as time goes on there will be manifest necessity for the extension of the Copper River x Nortll- western Railway, as well as for numerous feeders This line now runs l96 miles from tidewater at CordOva to kennecott, where are located some of the richest copper .mlnes m America. There are other valuable contiguous properties that must soon be reached by the railroad while in the White River country be- wound there is much mineral that but awaits a means of outlet to materially increase the supply of Uncle Sam's mineral that is now gradually declining in volume. In the general discussion of "What 'sg the matter with Alas ka?" the great necessity for additional railway facilities must not be overlooked.-Juneau Capital.

HENRY FORD'S BOOM

The Ford boom is sui generls. We have had nothing like it in our political affairs.
 The contention of the F'ordites is that the existing American emergency IS non-pol1tlcal What, they inquire, has politics to do with It. Why ask remedy of politics?
 The emergency, we are told, IS business matter. and should be treated as such. Put business on it's feet again. Resume produc- tion and distribution on generous scale, and all will be well again.
 Who for director-in -chief of the job? Who but the man standing among the foremost ot business caDtans, and in the business world has accomplished wonders? Henry Ford, we are reminded, represents all that IS clean and helpful and successful in business, and we are assured that with him in the White House every man would have paying job, and bus- ness would soon be humming again.
 Hence the boom, the slogan: Henry Ford for President, and America again in kelter!
 It is admitted that Mir. Ford is not pol- tican and cares little, and knows less. about the game He does not desire strictly party nomination on a party platform. That would tie his hands, and prevent the exercise of his best talents.
 Why, then, liken him. as his boomers are doing, to Mr. Lincoln? What likeness exists? MT. Lincoln was a party man: Never was there stouter one. He was twice elected President on party pledges, and did his best while in office to redeem them. He was a poltician-the master American politician of his generation, and appraised by historians as one of the master politicians of all times

LARKIN AT LARGE

Pardoned, but not penitent, is the status of "Big ,Jim' Larkin, who was released from prison by Governor Smith, of New York, after serving part of a term after conviction of criminal anarchy. Perhaps Governor Smith will take little longer to think it over before he pardons any more of that ilk. Fortunately neither the Governor nor President Harding has listened to the plea of the radicals that a general pardon be granted to all of the so- called "politcal prisoners The convicted men are not political prisoners they are people found guilty of violating the criminal laws of their country-found guilty by jury of twelve good men and true after full oppor- turnity to be heard on the facts.
