Oity Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, OCT. 13, 1915.
According to the dispatch from [
Christiania, Norway is the latest of i
the European countries to recognize r
me moral and ethical right of woman i
to have a hand in Bhaping and con
trolling the affairs of the nation of,
which she is a citizen. Women voted I
at the general election yesterday for |
the lust time In the history of that j
country. in granting the vote to |
woman, that nation has unquestiona- |
bly made a long advance toward prog
ress and the realization of the high
est order of government. It Is par
ticularly In the older nations that the
need for more general suffrage Is most
noticeable, owing to a more limited
scope of public influence in national
affairs than is found in the United ,
States and other countries where the I
will of the people is the sovereign
arbiter of the national destiny. In
granting the suffrage right to the
mothers and daughters of the land,
nations of that class are not only
lifting womankind from a position of
the most complete subservience to a
plane of equality with man, but bucIi
action Is ultimately bound to result
In Anal freedom from restricted gov
ernment through making the full con
trol of national affairs subject to the
will of the masses.
Such a result is inevitably bound to
follow the granting of the deciding
power to the people, however limited
such power, may be In the begin
ning. Each step forward In this di
rection means thRt another will follow
and each development will result In a
broadening of the Influence of the
masses on public affairs, ultimately
leading to full and unrestricted gov
ernment by the people. It Is true that
such a result would probably follow
If the voting franchise were not placed
in the hands of the women but It Is
most certain that It will come about
with far greater rapidity If the full
voice of the nation la given expres
slon. Accepting the fact that the high
est and most beneficial form of gov
eminent cannot obtain where the peo
ple are without the power to decide all
matters of the public weal, it is clear
tlit government cannot reach Its
highest expression, save all tfie people
| have an equal voice and this can be
■ nly when every unit of the nation Is
,on a plane of equality with every other
Lind has an equal opportunity for ox
I presslon.
This means that women no less than
men must he Included In the popular
sentiment upon which the decisions
of the nation are based To argue
contrawlse Is futile as no government
which Is based upon the decisions of
only a part of the people can be no
more than a government for a part.
Such a government cannot be repre
sentative In the full understanding of
the term Women must have the vote
und a full vote before government can
mote than approximate the purpose
for which it is created and, In granting
l to women the right to say what shall
|lie the policies under which they are
compelled to exist, Norway Is but ac
knowledging the fundamental truth of
iihat Idea.
strangled by bureaucracy, by up
pi casing governmental rules ami the
lack of intelligent legislation, Alaska's
curly struggle was for public recog
nition of its condition, its needs und
Ha but partially explored riches. Ill
uiis struggle Seattle, led by the Al
asku Bureau of its Chamber of Com
merce, lent a hand, mid by its assist
ance finally brought congress and the
national administration to a realiza
tion of Us plight. Helpful legislation
nus been procured, und the great ter
ritory is now on the verge of an awak
ening. Public interest has been
aroused and men of influence in the
east have come, and more are coming,
to see the rich wilderness for them
selves. -Many people are getting a
glimpse about Alaska from personal
inspection, but an infinitely larger por
tion of the public is being served in
this respect by the publicity now ac
rded by the press. ..
Among the recent helpful publicity
s the narrative of John A. Sleicher,
ditor of Leslie's Weekly, now appeal
ing In regular Installments in that
leriodical. Mr. Sleicher made the
•ound trip from Seattle last summer
>n tlie stemship Admiral Watson. He
saw Alaska from the viewpoint of a
rained newspaer man, and a wealtli
jf features crowds his story. With
his he lends intimacy to his narrative
ihruugh the accompany illustrations
if the great mountains, the nestling
, iilages, the reaches of rock-bound
..uters and the indigenous life. The
author tells the truth about Alaska,
which he calls “the land of the great -
-st opportunity.”
Mr. Sleicher saw the gold, the moun
tains of copper, the vast areus of coal
deposits, the wealth of salmon, the
wilderness of cedar and fir trees, the
picturesque, the sublime, tlie material
and the beautiful; a bewildering
wealth of riches, material and ideal,
with only a scattering of humanity to
enjoy it.
Something of the author's enthu
siasm is reflected in this excerpt from
his story:
Alaska Is the glittering diamond of
America’s diadem. It reveals to the
' isltor, multiplied one hundred fold,
tlu- beautiful Thousand Island region
of the st. Lawrence, the fiords of Nor
way, the snow-covered Alps, and the
glacial wonders of Iceland. It has the1
sweetest flowers, the most luxuriant j
