iiity Utliciai Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 13, 1915
The Doston Kvening liocoru in an
able article on universal suffrage ad
vances the most subtile argument In
favor of voles tor women that lias
so far come to notice, in the words:
"Wiiat do you think about your wiles
voting? How about your sister or
your daughter, or your mother . Don’t
.> ou honestly think they know enougn
to vote? Don't you think they ought
to have the right to vote If they want
to? And if they do not want to vote,
do you think that is a valid reason
why other won^u should not vote if
uiey want to?" This is truly bringing
the matter right down to the personal
plane. Here is no abstract argument
merit founded upon ethical or logical
deductions to appeal through purely
mental processes. The question of no
or yes is placed at once on the sim
plest plane for understanding through
making ones own people the basis of
judgment. Oi.e is not compelled to look
at the matter from an impersonal
standpoint or to segregate the why from
the wherefore with the cold calcula
tion of the scientist dissecting some
interesting subject. No mental sub
tilties or statistical compilations enter
here. It is purely a question of should
my mother, my wife or my sister or
daughter be allowed to vote if they
want to ?
in the absence of an overwhelming
contra argument, what man with nor
mal sensibilities can successfully re
sist an appeal of that nature? To do
so means that one must convince him
self that those who are near
est and' dearest to him are
deficient in understanding and,
me incapable of welding the ballot with
a discretion and judgment at least
equal to that of the common rum
soaked sot. How many men will con
trast their mother or sister or wife
with the samples of depravity who
are everywhere visible and who are ac
eoided the right to shape the destinies
of the country for the one and only
reason that, through some inscrutable
working of nature, they chance to be
iothed in the outward habilaraents of
a man, without being compelled to
acknowledge their superiority, morally
and mentally? How many men can
ask themselves the questions in cold
blood: "Are my mother, my wife, my
eider and my daughter less capable
"f judgment and decision than one of
these besotted wretches? Are they,
tupiil and sodden with dissipation,
worthy of a greater regard in the af
fairs of the nation than that person
ideation of kindness, tenderness and
love who nutured me at her bosom
and guided with wise and patient
eounsel the stumbling footsteps of
adolescence?
Is the habitual drunkard or criminal
more worthy of exercising the privilege
of saying who shall shape the laws
i.nd guide the policies under which we
shall live than the tender, loving wife,
the mother of my children. How many
i an do this calmly and deliberately
and then answer “Yes?” Not many
we dare say. Yet this Is about all
there is to the controversy over votes
for women. It is purely and simply
a question of whether the women are
fitted to vote through the possession
i
of discretion and Judgment and wheth
er the possession of those qualities
, ntltle them 10 equul pri\ iiegeB with
males in deciding the conditions under \
w hich they must exist. The Record j
tms given a new aspect, a different j
idea, upon which to base judgment ot
me much discussed question and one
.hat requires neither rule nor logic to
uecide. When the question is placed
in this light one needs not a moments
reflection to And the answer for if
our minds are open the heart will
„ ntsper the incontrovertible reply.
GREAT MEN.
The search after great men is the
dream of youth und the occupation of
manhood. \\ e travel into t'orelgu parts
to find their works—if possible, to get
a glimpse of them. * * * I count him
a great man who inhabits a higher
sphere of thought, into which other
,nen rise with l^bor and with difficulty.
I lie has but to open his eyes to see
tilings in a true light, and in large
relations, while they must make pain
r'ul corrections and keep a vigilant eye
m many sources of error. But the
great man must be related to us. 1
cannot tell what 1 would know, but
t have observed that there are per
iling in their character and ac
tions, answer questions which 1 have
not skill to put. uue man answers
questions which none of his contem
poraries put, and is isolated.—Emerson.
I A FICITITIOUS PROSPERITY. j
(Exchange.)
Victor Mura we tz, one of the ablest
, economists in the United States, sees
, no cause for congratulation in the
huge war orders that are pouring into
this country. "It is plain that up to
the present time the war in Europe
has not increased material prosperity
in tne United States," he declared.
"This i' shown by the widespread un
employment of labor, by the large fall
ing off in the production of basic raw
materials of industry—such as iron,
steel, coal and lumber—and by the pre
\ ailing general depression of business.
“A large foreign trade balance in
favor of the United States will not of
itsi If bring us prosperity, in the fu
ture as at the present time a large
trade balance may lie more than offset
by a lessening of production of forms
,if wealth that do not enter into foreign
trade. In this connection it should
not be overlooked that an increase of
the prices of foodstuffs and other pro
tiucts does nut represent a gain to the
e;ile of the United States, except as
to the small portion of these foodstuffs
■ mi other products that can be ex
ported.
“Most of the foodstuffs and other
hlngs produced by us are required for
consumption at home, and any In
crease of their prices must be paid by
the people of the United States. Thus,
if 20 per cent of our wheat crop should
lie exported, a 50 per cent Increase of
lie price of wheat would represent a
gain to the United States of the In
creased price of only the 20 per cent
of the crop. The profit reieived by our
armors from the sale of four-fifths
of their crop at the increased price
would have to be paid by consumers
n the United States, and principally
by the laboring classes."

The board of trustees of the Alas

for allowances under the law passed
by the last legislature from the follow
ing named men: Robert M. Becker 81,
f Skagway: John Solen, 75, of Fair
banks; and Joseph Nors, 71; Fred
■teger, 71. Thomas Hill 66, and Frank

The Harmon Machinery Company
ms been incorporated at Cordova and
rrticles were filed with the secretary
if the territory. The company is to

ness but is also empowered to acquire
ad work mines If It desires. The cap
ital stock was placed at $50,000 and
; A. Harmon, Ed F. Medley and Fred
Blasbrenner are the Incorporators.
Cannorymen are disappointed over
the opening price of pink salmon, which !
s 75 cents or fifteen cents lower than
the opening price of last year. The
ackers believed that the price would
be higher this year, owing to this be
g an off-year on Puget sound and
Southeastern Alaska. The opening
prices of red and medium red salmon
ire up to expectations. The prices are

cents chums 65 cents.—Valdez Pros

OUR FISHING INDUSTRY
IN DANGER
(.Leslie's.)
Alaska has the finest halibut fishing
industry iu the country It wants to
keep it. It Is in danger of losing it
unless tlie government fights to retain
it as loyally and vigorously as Canada
is now fighting to take A away. 1
found the halibut fishing question a
live one, especially at Ketchikan, a
center of the industry The Grand
Trunk Pacific railway has been com
pleted to the northwest corner of Can
ala. terminating at Prince Rupert, a
few miles from the international boun
dary between British Columbia and
Alaska. Alaska has no direct rail con
nection with Eastern markets. These
conditions with the present American
shipping regulations are throwing an
enormous volume of trade—the catch
ing, icing and shipping of fish caught
on the Alaska banks for the market
of the Cnited States—into the Cana
dian channel, thus building up and
supporting Canadian townsf "t.h Am
r,can resources and capital^
Alaska asks the legislation that will
. equire vessels engaged in filing for
,he American market to discharge the
fish at an American port, so that if
Canada wants our tisli the Canadian
lailroad can establish a ferry service
from Prince Rupert across to the near
est Alaskan port, whi h is Ketchikan,
distance of ninety miles. This can
raversed in a few nours.
MR. HIBBEN FOR SUFFRAGE.
(Springfield Republican.)
President Hibben of Princeton has
followed his illustrious predecessor's
lead and come out for votes for women.
The faculty is divided on t^e issue into
three parts—those for it, thopc against
it, and those who, like Prof Pauf Van
ii>ke, are “believers In the secrecy of
ballot," that is, those who are un
willing to let the light of their au
mst opinions shine for the guidance
f their fellow citizens.
Holiday greetings mailed now will
reach the states at the proper season.
We have a large assortment of cards
and calendars. Loman Bros.
