A visitor arriving on ono of the
Ijst boats went out (or a walk an<l
?:f i or going Bonio distance sat down
In tho sunshine with his back agatn
??t a tree. Hefell asleep, and whon
he awoko after an hour's nap.
found that he was shaded from the
w..rm rays of the sun by the. leaves
on the tree under which he was sit
ting. This bothered him, for he be
lieved he had seated himself under
a tree nude of ail foliage. He did.
but while fee slept, th? leaves grew,
and when he awoke the same tree
? : s *n full leaf. This shows how
Quickly Alaska vegitation grows
;>nd how v? gltable life will develop
wl-en smiled upon by the warm sun.
M< ral:- Let the federal government
s:-ile upon Alaska byglvlng gener
od: legislation and the development
o* its vast resources will be as rap
id as the growth of the leaves upon
the trees In the spring. .
May First has come and goue. but
t..e work of making Skagwuy the
garden spot of Alaska still contin
ues. Every evening sees many men
at work- plowing, sowing, and oth
t.'wise beautifying their gardens
i.nj grounds. Last year tho tourist 1
?via directed to special sections of
the town. This year ho will bo told
10 wander where ho chases, and the
Informant will bo satisfied In his
mind that tho one so dlrocted will
find flowers and tldonoss on ovory
hand. Now If tho old shacks, with1
1 1 clr many styles of archltecture( ?)
could bo removod, Skagway would
;>e a mo lei- town.
The Alaska Natives havo at last
found .1 way of utilizing their skill
tit weaving. They will make tho im
mouse rafia mat which will bo the
foundation for the breakwater of
the government dam to bo built at
Valdei.
That tho Town Council appreci
ate tho efforts of the Skagway Im
I 'oveuu nt Society is evidenced by
the resolution passed at tho la3t
meeting of that body whereby the
Society was granted permission of
h.'ldlng all sessions In tho Town
h;- 11. All that the council asks Is
tl at tho marshal bo notified a few
hours in advance, and the fires and
lights will be attendod to.

Female
Suffrage
f Should
Be
Opposed
By Senator ROBERT M. LA
FOLLETTE of WI?con*in
T is as ccrtain as anything can
be that women will soon
have an EQUAL SHAKE
Di GOVERNMENT. The slow
growth of the movement insures
this. The soundness of the princi
ple has taken deep hold of the con
victions of the American people.
The practical wisdom has been
thoroughly demonstrated in the
states where tried.
THE INTERESTS OF MEN AND
WOMEN ARE MUTUAL AND IN
SEPARABLE. AND THAT GOVERN
MENT MUST BE BEST WHERE
THEY CO-OPERATE.
By Conjressman RICHMOND
PEARSON HOBSON of
Alabama
CHE future of woman suf
frage is assured. By 1920
I expect to see two-thirds
of both houses of congress submit
a joint resolution to the individual
states forbidding discrimination in
elections of president, vice presi
dent and members of congress on
account of sex, and within FOUR
YEARS after its submission 1 ex
pect to see EQUAL SUFFRAGE
IN TIIE CONSTITUTION of
the United States.
P.y GILBERT M. TUCKER. Antl
Suffrage Advocate
IIY fcmalo suffrage
should be opposed:
First. ? Because .WO
MEN* DO NOT WANT IT.
Thousands of thcin aro willing to
let other vromen vote. How many
women do you know who really
want to vote themselves? The
last thing the suffragists would
consent to would bo a referendum
to the women with tho provision
that if a MAJORITY of them
all voted in favor of suffrage they
should have it.
Second. ? Because it WOULD
XOT MAKE FOR GOOD GOV
F.RNMENT. the immense majori
ty of women heing far less quali
fied than tho immense majority of
men to puss intelligent judgment
on great questions of public policy,
such as the tariff, the currency
and the control of great corpora
tions.
THIRD.? BECAUSE IT WOULD
ENORMOUSLY INCREASE THE
PROPORTION OF THE NONTAX
PAY.ING VOTE. WHICH IS INVA
RIABLY THROWN ON THE SIDE
OF EXTRAVAGANCE IN PUBLIC
EXPENDITURE. AND IT SHOULD
THEREFORE ADD TO THE BUR
DEN OF EVERY TAXPAYING WO
Man.
