THE TOWN ELECTION*.
For tbc first time .in the history
of Skagway the women will bo giv
en au opportunity to take part in
the municipal election which is to
be held here on Tuesday, April 7.
Not alone are the women entitled
to vote but they are qualified to
hold off'ce as well under the new j
franchise law of the territory, a
number of leading lawyers of the
territory having given i; as their
opiniou that a woman has a right
to hold any office for the incum
bent of which she is entitled to
vote under the law. '
The very first enactment of the
Alaska legislature reads as follows:
"That in all elections which are
now, or may hereafter be author
ized by law in the territory of
Alaska, or auy subdivision or mu
nicpiality thereof, the elective fran
chise is hereby extended to such
women as have the qualifications
of citizenship required of male el
ectors."
Now in order to vote the women
will have to go to the town hall
and register their names with the
Town clerk. This may be done on
any day between the hqurs of 7:30
o'clock p. m. and 10:30 o'clock p.
m. up to and including Saturday,
April 4th, 1914.
In making application for regis
tration a woman need not give her
age, if she does not desire to, but
may make affidavit that she is of
legal age, which is 21 years or ov
er. t
Up to the present time the town
election has not aroused much in
terest among the people for so far
as we have heard th^re has not
been a single man (or woman)
mentioned as *i possible candidate
for councilmanic honors.
This apathetic attitude is also
evinced in tho matter of registra
tion, for out of a possible 300 peo
ple who are entitled to vote only
SO have so far registered, 17 of
whom are women.
While there are no questions of
particular importance to the inter
ests of the town to come up at
this election, nor any especial dis
satisfaction expressed with the
present administration of its af
fairs, there may come a time when
matters of vital moment to our fu
ture, welfare may have to be decid
ed and It therefore behooves the
voters to exercise a wise discrimin
ation in the choice of those whom
they select to handle the business
of the town and to see that they
are endowed with the necessary
qualifications to act intelligently
as well as honestly on all occasions.
On the other hand it 4s desirable
that a full vote be polled so that
the men who are seated on the
town council for the next year may
have the assurance that they have
been_ placed there by an unquest
ioned majority of all those who are
entitled to catft a vote.
We believe that tho women vot'
ors of Skagway owe It to them
selves and their families ^to'get
out and take part in both the mu
nicipal and school elections, for
the power is undoubtedly In tlvsir
hands, if they are desirous of ex
ercising it, to shape the policy of
the administration of local affairs J
in whatsoever direction they desire.
While there are certain require
ments demanded of thore who. seek
to register for the municipal elec
tion, an explanation <>t which is
given in the notice of the sine
pubiishe d elsewhere in the Daily
Alaskan, anyone who is a bona
fide resident of the town, male or
female, native or foreign, over 21
years of age, may vote at the I
school election without having to
go through that 'ormality.

THIS simple rule of health is daily called attention to by every doctor in the land, ft hose first question
the patient almost invariably is, "Are your bowels regular?" Yet there's not one person in fifty who
takes proper care of the bowels. And the result of this foolish neglect is nine-tenths of all ill-health.
If today you are unable to free your body of waste matter at the usual time, or if the act causes straining,
pains and discomfort, don't let that condition occur again totnorroic. Unless your bowels can carry away the
waste materials left after food is digested, decay sets in, the poisons of which, taken up by the blood, increase
the risk of Typhoid Fever, Appendicitis, and many other serious diseases.
In treating constipation, there is a right way and a wrong way. The wrong way is to take harsh purga
tives which even though they do clear the bowels, cause griping and nausea, injure the delicate tissues, and
so disturb the normal functions as to cause the return of constipation. The right icay is to help Nature to
produce natural movement, without pain or discomfort, by using

these tablets eaten just before going to bed will help to restore
your bowels to normal activity at a time when, your body

of taking that tablet (or say two, if your case i-s ob
