"The newspapers of Alaska are tin
ideal means of reaching the public ii
Alaska.” stated Mrs. Klla Alexandet
Itnolc to the convention of (he \V, ('
T. I\ at Juneau the other day.
The statement was made during ii
disntssion relative to securing th<
services ol a man lecturer to travel
along the coast of Alaska in the in
forests of prohibition. Several of tin
delegates were iti favor of securing
the lecturer and during the discussion
Mrs. I tool e asked leave to address thf
convention.
”1 have made a trip along the coast
of Alaska, and I find that the news
papers of this section are the only
means of reaching the people." sht
said. “Recently I visited Cordova and
although I was there a week I did no!
reach .'a people by personal contact
People in Alaska do not (urn out tr
hear a lecturer unless personally in
forested in the subject under discus
sion. A lecturer might come here
and all those interested in our cause
would turn out, hut those against ns,
fir indifferent would not, and efforts
would be wasted.
“If you have something to say to
I the public, use the newspapers. In
■ New York we don’t buy a 9 o’clock
| edition at noon, nor do we buy the
noon editions at 5 o'clock. They are
old. But in Alaska the papers are
read by everyone, and sometimes are
saved for days and days just for some
certain article. In many cases where
one family take a paper, after the edi
tions have been read they are passed
on to other families, and sometimes as
many as five families read the same
paper. This is especially true in the
mining camps, and while a paper may
be only printing a certain number of
copies, about ten times as many peo
ple see and read the papers as there
are subscribers.
"And another thing in connection
with the papers, the Alaskan people
don’t just glance at the headlines and
throw the paper away. They read
every word in them, from editorials
to advertising, and if you are think
ing of spending money for a lecturer,
don’t do it. Spend the same amount
for space in your Alaskan daily papers
and you will accomplish many times
the amount of good with the same
amount of money.”

DEATH CLAIMS
ATHENS, Greece, Sept. 3. Sophie
Trieotipiu. one of the most remarkable
women of modern Greece, is dead. She
had been termed "The Uncrowned
Qi;e°n of Greece," an appellation ful-J
ly warranted by the facta, for it is j
doubtful if even the Empress Eugene |
ever exercised so much direct control
over the deatlnies of France as this
woman did over the fate of modern
Greece.
She was a daughter of Spyrldon Trl
coupis, the first premier of "free
Greece, and the sister of Harllaos Tri
coupis. who during the last quarter of
the nineteenth century completely de
mint ted Greek politics. As a child
she made the acquaintance of Lord
Byron, who was a familiar friend ^in
her father's house and it was her fath
er who pronounced the funeral ad
dress over the coffin of the English
poet. Her youth was passed in Eon
don, where her father was Greek min
ster, but on the entry of her brother
into the political arena she returned
to Athens and took up her place at
his side. Nor did she ever leave him
in his political work and in looking :
alter his personal cotniort.
A woman of striking appearance,
she was the more conspicuous by the
fact that she never changed the style
of her clothing from the date of the
death of her father in 1872. She re
tained even the early Victorian fash
ion of doing her hair, and in her later
years resembled nothing so much as
a daugerreotype come to life. The
house which she and her brother oc
cupied was a very small one, but in
spite of that, some of the most dis
tinguished political figures of the
nineteenth century passed through its
drawing room. The present emperor j
of Russia, Edward VII, and Queen j
Alexandra of England. King Christian
IX of Denmark were only a few of
those who were the guests of this
remarkable woman.
But her relations with the dlstin
guished visitors to Greece were whol
ly political. She had no social ambi
tions and the ordinary balls and so
cial gatherings of Athens never saw
her. She was not only the inspiration
but the active co-worker of her bro
ther, and knew quite as much about
politics as did he, and it was frequent
ly to “Madam Sophie," as she was
called, that those who had some po
litical proposal to make addressed j
themselves rather than to the minister
himself. With the death of her bro
ther, however, she ceased all political j
activity and retired to a secluded life, j
which she permitted nothing to dis ,
liirb. She was over eighty years old
when she died.
Appendicitis was the cause of her ,
death, on July 26. Iler body was in j
terred in the vault beside that of her
distinguished brother, she being clad
only in a shroud. According to her
wishes there was not even a coffin,
and no one was present at the funeral
save the members of her immediate
family.
