SUFFRAGISTS AND POLITICIANS.
Positive astonishment is expressed
by some of the newspapers and poli
ticians of the old school that the
women should deliberately announce
their purpose of seeking the defeat
of the congressmen who are avowedly
opposed to woman suffrage. One New
York paper argues that the suffragists
do not constitute a legitimate political
party and therefore should not work
for the defeat of a political party can
didate. The obvious answer is that
women are legitimate citizens and as
such have a right to work for what
ever legislation they deem suited to.
their best interests.
'The record is filled with illustra
tions of organizations that did not
constitute a "legitimate political
party” but which have worked for and
against legislation. Colonel Mulhall
is a shining representative of this
class and the reports o a congres
s'onal committee will show that the
big interests he represented spent
money freely for the defeat of con
gressmen who refused to “be good.”
Big business has no right to elect its
political parties. We do not want po
litical parties of big interests, but po
litical parties of men and women.
The suffragists, through their or
ganization, believe that the surest Way
to elect a suffrage congress is to pre
vent the election of anti-suffragists#
COXEY’S ROAD TO WEALTH. |
General Jacob S. Coxey of Ohio still |
insists that he is going to lead an- j
other army of the unemployed on |
Washington in April. He says he will j
start at the head of whatever band he j
may pick up on March 16 and will
take any recruits that may offer. As j
the general’s well known prosperity *
dates from the time of his last parade ■
across the country perhaps he cher- |
ishes a hope that following another
he will become well enough off to own
a regional reserve bank all by him
self if he wishes to do so.
Coxey may find more difficulty in
collecting and moving an army than
he did twenty years ago. Indications
are now that there will be no need
of any man who is willing to work
being out of employment in April and
the police of the various cities may
decide to enforce some of the laws
against vagrancy and trespassing. The
man out of work is entitled to con
sideration at any time, hut there
should be little patience wasted on
men of the Coxey type who have no'
finer motive in heading such an army
than a little more free advertising that
always follows those who make a bid
for notoriety through spectacular
stunts,—Ex.

WORKING FOR THE PUBLIC.
Outraged at the idea of being re
quired to work for a municipality as.
he would have to work for a private
employer, some person who is draw
ing a stipend from the city treasury
of Pittburgh “spiked” the time clock
which was expected to make a rec
ord of the time when he arrived and
when be departed.
For a good many years the employe
in a public office was led to look up
on his position as an insurance pol
icy against honest effort. It was the
general impression that a municipal
employe was entitled to the enjoyment
of even shorter hours than employes
in banks and railway offices and was
also entitled to do less work per hour.
Happily that condition is passing. The
increasing tax rate throughout I he na
tion has had the effect of causing
more careful invesP'gaton of munici
pal methods and the demand is
growing for a higher grade of effi
ciency in all branches of the public
service.—Ex.
Evans to Kodiak on Next Trip.
The steamer Admiral Sampson, of
the Admiral Line, will not go to Ko
diak on her next trip leaving Seattle
March 15, but will go only as far as
Seward. The steamer Evans, of the
same line, will go to Kodiak on the
next trip.

Resolved, That in the death of
I Brother d’Heirry a great loss has been
suffered, not only by the Arctic Broth
erhood, but by the people of the en
tire Copper River valley, and that we

the will of God, and that, be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions be spread on the minutes of
Camp Chitina, No. 31, and a copy sent

COXEY’S ARMY

SACRAMENTO, Cal., March 12.—
The police officials of four counties
have refused to allow the army of un
employed to enter the counties and
shut off their food supply, which has
resulted in many deserting the Cox
eyites. The ramy has dwindled to
half its original size and their num^

ALASKA'S MIGHTY RIVER.
Ths Yukon Is Navigable For a Stretch
of Over 2,100 Mites.
Dismiss from your mind any notion
thut tbe Yukon river is a puny stream
fed by eternal glaciers and trickling
away to tbe sen. It is a river so
mighty that it can spread out over a
width of sixty miles on tbe Yukon
flats and still have depth enough in the
main channel to Moat heavily laden
freight steamers. From Its mouth
(near St. Michael) at the Bering sea
it is navigable all the way to White
j Ilorse, in the Yukon territory of Can
! ada, an unbroken stretch of over 2,100
! miles—two-thirds of the distance from
i New York to San Francisco. Add to
: this the navigable water of its tribu
taries—370 miles on the Iunoko river.
320 on the Iditarod. 020 on the Koyu
kuk and 302 miles on the Tana nn—and
you will begin ,to have a fair idea of
what a big river we have in our great
! empire beneath the Northern Lights.
Tbe valley drained by this wonderful
river system of the north is the hope
of Alaska. The wealth of the past and
of today has come from mines and
fisheries, and the lifetime of all mining
regions is briefer even than human
life. It has been only a few years,
you remember, since the Klondike was
the most active mining camp in the
world. Today it is a valley long since
deserted by the individual miner and
turned over to two big dredging com
panies. which work the low grade tail
ings. And these also must shortly
pass.—Edgar Allen Forbes in Leslie’s.
SKIN OF A SABLE.
It Takes Lots of Treading to Make It
Soft and Fluffy.
“Otter hunts are fashionable In Eng
land,” said the manicurist, “and I cal!
that a sensible kind of hunt Look
at the otter skins the girls can collect
—and otter coats so fashionable now
too!
“I wouldn't mind collecting an otter
coat myself. But how would you like
to belong to a sable hunt, girls, and
collect a sable coat?
“A customer of mine, though, a fur
dealer, told me I wouldn’t know a
sable if I saw one. 1 thought, of
course, they’d be soft, fluffy little fel
lows, but he says they have a hide as
flat as a rat’s. He says that when
the skins are taken from the animals
they are so hard that they are placed
In a tub and a barefooted man steps
in and begins to tread on them to soft
en them. The tub is tilted so that at
each step the man takes the skins
slide down the slope and are kept
moving. The man treads for hours
and hours before any pile appears
When it begins to rise the skins are
oiled and the treading begins again.
This is continued until the skins nve
as supple as chamois and the pile has
become so high that the fur has that
soft depth and beautiful rich gloss
which we see in Fifth avenue.
“I always thought a sable was a
pretty creature, with fluffy fur like a
kitten, didn't you?”—New York Trib
une.
A Way to Distinguish Twins.
Twin brothers who have been called
up for service in a Paris regiment are
so alike that it is impossible to distin
guish between them. The other day
one was contined to barracks, and by
changing his cap, with its regimental
number, for that of his brother he was
able to pass the guard whenever he
wished to go out. The colonel has now
issued the following order to obviate
such tricks: "The soldier bonhomme
(even number! will wear his hair as
long as the regulations, construed with
the utmost leniency, will allow and
will shave his beard and mustache
The soldier bonhomme (odd number)
will allow his beard and mustache to
grow full and will have his hair regu
larly cut as closely as possible by the
regimental barber.”—London Mall.
Out It Went.
“Good niglit, my sweet; farewell, my
love; my soul goes out to thee! But
time Is speeding fast, my love, and 1
must quickly flee! TIs but a few
short hours, my love, uud you must
think of me till we meet agntn tomor
row. love! My soul goes out to thee!"
Thus spoke a lover to his lass. Deep
in her eyes gazed he. Now. one fond
kiss, one fond embrace—how sweet it
was to see!
Oh. horror! Then her pa appeared.
“What means this, sir?" said he
Then, with an ndfery snarl, he roared.
"My sole goes out to thee!”-London
Mail.
Logic of Youth.
"Father.' exclaimed John vigorous
ly. “why don't Quakers take off their
hats?"
“Because, my sou. It is their belief
that to remove their hats Is a mark of
respect that they think they should
pay to no man."
“Well.” remarked the boy after a
moment’s silence, “how do they man
age when they have to have their hair
cut?”—Youth’s Companion.
Overstudy.
Books are pleasant hut if by being
overstudlous we impair our health and
spoil our good humor, two of the best
traits we have, let us give it over. I.
for my part, am one of those who
think that no fruit derived from them
can recompense so great a loss.—
