WHY NOT A WOMAN"?
Mrs. M. A C. Gibson, secretary
of the Ketchikan Division of the
Southeastern Alaska Fishermen's
association, has sent to the Daily
Alaskan the announcement of her
candidacy at the coming territorial
election to the office of representa
tive, in the Alaska legislature, and
also a copy of the platform on
which she is confident of being el
ected, and which is published in
another column of this paper today.
The Daily Alaskan is unacquaint
ed with the lady and outside of the
immediate vicinity of the place iu
which she lives war think more than
likely that she is unknown to a
majority of the people of the con
stituency which she desires to
represent, but we have no hesitancy
In expressing the opinion that in
case of her election she will prove
far more competent to fill the pos
ition in a satisfactory manner than
were many of those who were sent
to the fiist gathering of that au
gust body.
Homes Too Com
plicated to Bring
In Politics
Ev Mrs. MARTIN H. GLYNN, Wife
of Governor of New York State
JAM opposed to woman's suffrage.
Homes today are already too
complicated without bringing in
politics too. Why, you would have
women competing with men! Think
what the effect of that would be!
WOMEN ARE
NOT MENTAL
LY EQUIPPED
TO CO-OPER
ATE WITH
MEN. I HAVE
SEEN VERY
FEW WOMEN
THAT I THINK
COULD SUR
VIVE SUCH A
TEST. MIND, I
DO NOT TRY photo by American I
TO INFLUENCE Press Associ.i lion.
MY HUSBAND ALONG THIS LINE.
HE IS INCLINED TOWARD SUF
FRAGE. THAT IS HIS BELIEF. I
AM OPPOSED TO IT. THAT IS
MINE.
ITv sister, Mrs. Anna Haberly, is
a rabid suffragist She lectures and
writes and argues. But she cannot
influence me one bit.
Education Not Result
of Haphazard
Growth
By Professor L. M. PASSANO of
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
T HE advocates of the scieutiGc ;
management of education
have not sufficiently studied
the conditions of the problem and
do not understand the problem,
even from their own viewpoint.
Alodern educational institutions and
methods are not a fortuitous result
of haphazard growth. They are the
resnJt of the study and experience
of many generations of men.
THE SCIENTIFIC MANAGERS
WOULD REPLACE EXPERIENCE
BY EXPERIMENT. THEY ARE
QUITE SURE THEY CAN FUNC
TIONALIZE STUDENT AND
TEACHER INTO CONTINUAL AC
TIVITY, APPARATUS INTO PER
PETUAL MOTION AND FLOOR
SPACE INTO CONTINUOUS USE.
LIKE THE SUBURBANITE. THEY
WILL MAKE TWO BLADES OF J
GRASS GROW WHERE ONLY ONE
OUGHT TO.

DONKEYS IN EGYPT.
Brutally Used Are These Despised
Friends of the Natives.
In Egypt the donkey Is the chief benst
of burden. Every farmer has at least
two or three of them. and when he
goes to his tleids he rides with his
friends on donkeys, lie does not use
a proper saddle, but has a couple of
sacks strapped over the animal's back.
No reins are used, and stirrups are
never thought of.
The donkeys are sometimes used In
a most brutal fashion, for their riders
guide them with a stick, .hitting them
on the left side of the head when
they want them to go to the right, and
j vice versa. If ihe donkey's are not go
iug fast enough some riders rub the
rough end of a stick along the spine
or prick them behind the neck with a
needle died Into the stick they use
fur guiding.
When Egyptian women ride the
donkey they sit astride, and the young
fellahah, or farmer's daughter, can go
at a great speed. Most of the older
women, however, are either too poor
to afford one or too stout to balance
on one.
It is common sight to see a man rid
ing on a donkey and his wife trotting
behind, barefooted and carrying an
Infant In her arms and a large basket
on her head. The Egyptian farmer has
no Idea of women's rights. Besides
carrying the farmer to and from his
labor, the donkey has to carry bundles
of blrseem or clover from the fields to
the horses and buffaloes In the villages
and towns, for grass and hay are al
most unknown In Egypt
When the donkey Is not being work
ed it Is roped to a peg In the ground
and Its two front feet are tied to
gether, so that it cannot move more
than two yards. It Is Ihe natives' de
spised friend.
A Joke of Mark Twain's.
The theatrical godfather of William
Gillette was Mark Twain, who was a
fellow townsman aDd a friend of his
father. Mark Twain in referring to
the matter said that when he used his
Influence to get young Gillette on tl>e
stage he thought lie was playing a
great joke on the management, for he
did not think Gillette had the slightest
aptitude for acting. But it turned out
to be no joke after all. "I don't know,-"
said Mark Twain, "which I like better
-having Gillette make a tremendous
success or seeiug one of my Jokes go
wrong."
Myrtle Wedding Wreatha.
On her wedding day the Danish
peasant girl wears a simple crown of
myrtle with her national costume—
varying* with tho district but always
charming—and pots of uiyrtie are care
fully cherished by girlish " bands
through the long winters in anticipa
tion of the great eveut
Feline Musis.
Scarlatti, the Italian composer, own
ed a cat which loved to walk on the
keys of a piano and struck certain
notes in preference to others. The com
poser took those notes as the theme of
one of his fugues, which for that rea
son received tho name of "The Cat
Fugue."
