On Monday evening Anchorage wo
men were privileged in having the 1
opportunity to listen to Judge Fred I
Brown, who addressed them on “Wom
an: Her Status and Responsibilities.’’ *
Judge Brown brought home to us the
fact that we should acquaint ourse’.vts i
with our legal and political status if '
only out of consideration for our chil-1 ■
dren. A married man dying intestate, ‘
i. e. without a will, leaves his wife ’n ; 1
no enviable position. She may claim 1
one-lhird of the estate. The balance (‘
is held in trust for the children until j 1
they attain their majority, and only,1
the interest on the two-thirds can be <
used for the main'enance and educe- 1
tion of the children during th.eir mi- ‘
: nority. This can be avoided by the 1
husband leaving a will appointing his 1
wife the sole legatee, or the executrix :
of his will and guardian of their chil- 1
dren. It is an insult to a mother that
an official guardian may be appointed <
during her lifetime and while she is *
supporting the children. It seems 1
time that a change was made in such 1
laws, and women should see to it that I
the i mendment conies soon.
Judge Brown drew attention to the *
fact that it is not generally under
stood that the qualifications for voting
on the prohibition measure are the ‘
same as for voting for the delegate, i. 1
e., a citizen of the United States. 1
three years’ residence in the territory *
and 30 days’ residence within the pre
cincts.
In closing the lecturer pointed out (
that we greatly desire in Alaska big,
broad, public-spirited women, and that 1
by, developing such a spirit, we shall 1
become of more value to ourselves, '
our homes and the community.
CLUBS.
The executive board of the Anchor- 1
age Woman’s club will meet on Thurs- 1
day, September 7th, at the home of
the president, Mrs. F. Mears, on Gov
ernment hill, at the hour of 2:30 in
the afternoon. On Thursday, the 21st, 1
the club will hold the first reception
of its winter season, when interested
parties may have their application for
membership brought forward.
The arts and literature department
should prove of great assistance to
Anchorage women. Reading gives us
new relations to life, because good
books grow directly out of life and
have a deep and lasting human signifi
cance. Literature has been defined as
the vital written record of what men ;
have felt, seen and thought; it is an
xpression of life through the me<lium
f language. Literature only succeeds
nsofar as it touches the human life,
nd therefore the impulse of every
rood book or poem must be sought in
ife. This department will help us
ind those impulses and make them a
lart of our own lives.
MORAL SOCIETY TO
PRESENT SEVERAL CANTATAS
Owing to other duties of a praise
worthy character, the members of the
tnchorage Choral club have delayed
lecision as to the musical numbers for
iublic presentation this season. At a
ecent meeting of the club it was de
ided to give Cowen’s cantata, “The
tose Maiden,” a charming musical
lumber, and quite a pretentious un
lertaking for the club. However, the
nembers of the club are quite satis
ied that they are qualified for the un
iertaking, and concert-goers may look
orward in pleasant anticipation to
everal enjoyable musical entertain
nents this winter.
The executive committee of the
lub extends a cordial invitation to
hose who can sing, to attend a meet
ng to be held in the Presbyterian
hurch, next Tuesday evening, Sep
ember 5, at 8 o’clock.
