DISPATCHES from Moscow tell or
important archaeological finds among
"Russla's buried tombs' in the an
cient ruined capital Of Mongolia
Kharakhoto.
The claim to the region by Russia
and the apparent fact that it Is at
least sufficiently under Russian con-
troll to make scientific work possible
by Russian archeologists is interest
ing because the site of Kharakhoto is
little more than a stones throw from
Pekins in region long under Chi
nese dominance.
A bulletin from headquarters OF the
National Geographic Society tells of
the Mongols and their land.
Once Was Capital.
"Kharakhoto was the seat of Mon
eol power during a very early period
of their history which hitherto has
been practically unknown says The
bulletin.
What these world -conquering peo-
pie may have been and done In the
dim past has been obscured, in fact.
by their strange boiling over in the
thirteenth century when Genghiz
Khan. with his cruel. invincible. hard :
fighting rough riders from their half
barren plains. suddenly became the
scourge Of east and west alike. and
came much closer to conquering the
| world than even Alexander had done.
Coming into prominence for only
q brief moment in the long period
of history, these people became mas
| ters Of China, Korea. Indo China and
Burma in the east, and practically all
of Asia west and south of their
l.
quests through Russia into the heart
of Poland and Hungary.
'kuhlai Khan. one of Genghins
! early successors. who made Pekjng
| the Chinese capital and sat there on
| the dragon throne. probably ruled
over q greater territory than any man
! had done before or has done since.
But once out Of the saddle--where
they were more expert and more at
home even than Cossack or American
| 1ndian-the Mongols lost their power
and after Il century their tremendous
empire was only memory. So dra =
! matte was this sudden rise and fall
! of the Mongols that it and the some
what drab period since have gone for
Mongol history. and there has been
| little interest in what preceded their

One hint Of the importance that
| the Mongols may have attained at an
| early date is the worlds most extern
| sive work OF man. the great wall of
China; for il was in an effort to keep

Chinese began that tremendous ram

2o0 miles from Picking. They lie on

WOMEN ARE PROTESTING

The women of the Third division are registering an emphatic protest with the legislature over the delay in passing the bill making women eligi- ble for jury service. Meetings are be- ing held today by the various Wom- enc clubs of the Territory, and con- demnatory telegrams will pour in de- manding the passage of the bill with out further delay.
 The hitch in the passage of the bil arose over the House striking out the sex-exemption clause and passing the bill by vote of nine to seven. The bill was then returned to the Senate, its members, more gallant than those of the House, demanding the sex exemption clause be left in.
 The women of the Third division declare they want the bill passed, sex. emption clause notwithstanding, stat. ing they will take the same chances of asking for an excuse that is given to the male voter. And in this The Gateway believes them to be right. Any man with valid excuse is gen. erally allowed by the judge to escape jury service; although it must be ad- mitted that at times it goes by favors, like kissing. Any man who is ill and unable to attend need only send physicians certificate to this effect, and he is excused. The women have asked for no further favors on account of sex, therefore it is an abuse of privilege for legislator to hold up a bill that has been voted for by those whom it affects.
 The Gateway will publish the names of those Senator and Representa- votinig for and against the bill in or der that the female voters may see how they stand with the men they helped send to the territorial capital The editor of the Gateway is old fashioned enough to believe that the will of his constituent is paramount 10 the prejudices of any legislator.

THE MONTHLY PAYDAY BILL

Early in the nineties the State of Washington passed bill similar to the monthly payday bill rejected this week by the Alaska legislature; and declared class legislation and uncon- stitutional by our attorney general. At that time the mills had habit of payingo off in time checks, and sup plying brokers about town with mon- ey to cash them at the iniQuitous rate of ten per cent So pernicious did the practice become that the Central La bor councils took the matter up and had a law passed in the legislature requiring all mill employees to be paid monthly in coin or checks, with no discount appliable.
 This law was thrashed out in the courts by the Inducements associa- tions and they were beaten at every turn, the courts declaring the law con- stitutional and it is in effect today. It saved one-tenth of his wages to the working man.
 It remains for an attorney general in Alaska to discover the unconstitu tionality of law protecting working men. But it must be remembered that he also declared the Jones bill uncon stitutional and is advocating bill de claring it unconstitutional for the president to make reservations in diff ferent parts of the Nation.
Seward daily gateway., 1923-04-18

one of the most vital and far-reaching ever presented to the legislature. h was a one hundred per cent American bill, and should have been supported to the limit by the American Legion and every citizen of the Territory.
 In brief the bill provided that none but persons able to read and write the English language should have the privilege of voting at Territorial elections. Certain politicians who have heretofore profited by the Indian and illiterate vote lobbied against the bill and it was killed.
 There is no legislator in Alaska to- day who would have the temerity to face an audience of American citizens and tell them face to face that their vote is no better than an Indians. That any buck from the far reaches of the Alaska peninsula had as much voice in controlling Alaskan affairs as YOU have. That he believed that any man who could not talk or understand English. or who could not tell the name of the governor of the territory or the president of the United States could kill your vote by being manlpu- lated by interruptions politicians.
 The literacy test is applied to the voters of every state in the Union from Florida to Maine. It is the test of Americanism and the bulwark of our institutions. It's rejection placed our legislature in the medieval ages and prostituted the rights of our cit iZenry
