EDITORIAL PAGE
RAILWAYS FOR ALASKA.
It seems that the advocacy of
Government—of People's—railways
in Alaska by President Wilson and
Secretary of the Interior Lane, says
the San Francisco Star, has had the
effect of bringing the British Co
lumbia Government to the earn# Idet
A dispatch from Vancouver says tha
Sir Richard McBride, Premier of
British Columbia, has stated in an
interview that he believes the con
struction of a line of railway north
and south through British Columbia,
providing access to the Atlln and
the Yukon, is a national enterprise;
and that closely linked with such a
[wssibility is the establishment of
railways in Alaska, "and the Unit
ed States proper by means of steel
running through the Yukon and
British Columbia."
Tn:u is a really constructive pro
pos::l. There seems to be no rec
kon why the American and the Can
adian Governments should not co-op
erate in the railway development of
Alaska and the great Northwest
Territory. Perhaps it may seem
strange tha". Sir Richard McBride,
the Conservative head of the Con
servative Cabinet of British Colum
bia, should be advocating such a
thing as public ownership of a rail
way; but it is no more strange, from
an American point of view, than
his advocacy of exempting all im
provement from taxation and liis
statement that Single Tax is a very
uatural method of taxation, and that
it has no tlements of danger.
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP PAYS
At 11:63 last Wednesday night,
says the Sun Francisco Star of Dec. j
13th, 8-1 men were working teu
hours a day at an average of about
27 cents an hour for the Presidio |
& Ferrivu Railway Company—a pri
vate Corporation. One minute later
those 84 taen and twelve others be
gan vurkn p eight hours a day at
37 f -«Us an hour for The People |
of San Francisco, because at mid
: night ti' o City took over the street
i railway I'm and begiui to operate
it. These figures and facts are wor
thy of consideration.
In addition to that last Wednes
day afternoon the City drew its
check for $50,000 from the profits
of the Municipal Railway, and gave
1 P to the Presidio & Ferries Railway
Company as the first payment for
the new addition to the Municipal
Railway. The line will be paid for
out of the $3,500,000 bond issue for
Mnuicipal Railway extensions, but
the bonds are not yet on the market
—and the city had $50,000 of profits
from the Geary-street line to use for
that purpose. The newly acquired
line has been making a profit of
$14,000 a month.
Present Trend of Woman Disastrous
By Dr. THOMAS CLYDE SHAW, Medico-Psychological Authority,
of England
THE type of woman has changed. She has become harder in feature,
more wrinkled. Iler complexion has been affected by outdt »r life.
She is more independent, has less reverence for authority fewer
home interests. is less of a stay at home.
SPORT IS A BAD MARRIAGE MARKET. AN ATHLETIC GIRL BE
COMES TCO like A MAN, EXPOSES HER CHARACTER TO HIM 100 j
MUCH. EESiOES, AS A RULE, SHE NEGLECTS HER HOME. YOU '
CAN TELL AN ATHLETIC GIRL AT HOME. BICYCLES ARE THROWN '
TOGETHER AND NEVER CLEANED, HOCKEY STICKS ARE HEAPED j
TOGETHER: ILL SHAPED, MUDDY SHOES ARE WITHOUT LASTS, j
..MEALS ARE AT CASUAL INTERVALS; THEN THERE IS AN AC- .
QUIRED BUCOLIC LOOK AND ATHLETIC CARELESSNESS OF DE
PORTMENT.
Are women more emotional than men? I think they are. because
for ages thov have been used to deference and adulation. THIS HAS
MADE Til KM LIVE IN RIVALRY. TO BE FOND 01' NOTO
RIETY AXD ADVERTISEMENT, JEALOUS OF INTERFER
ENCE. As emotion is necessary for the spread of their new ideas and
propaganda, their emotional trend in this direction is bound to increase,
but i: is not in a healthy way, because it tends to make them harder,
more wrinkled, more, like men, whereas they have more need of tender
sentiment
