ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST WOMEN
IS DEAD.
The gieatost actress ef all time and ono of the
me: l wonderful characters of modern times passed
from earth with the death of Sarah Bernhardt. Ni
ether actress for r > long a time held first place in
the heart, of theatre goers. None ever entertained
or tihrifled so many people. None carried hei
art and talents to so many countries. None so com
pletely doniinat.d her prof- oion. Compared with het
hold on the hearts of her people the fame of Nell
Gwyn, of Peg Wcffinigtton, and of others who were
lcvcd and admired and each in her day acclaimed the
great cot of actresses are shadowy and transient. Killer
Tetry, more than two years younger but who began
her stage career ix years before the Divine Sarah,
perhaps nearer Chan any other actress, made a career
comparable with that cf the great Pariaenne, hut tdu
did net grip the pc ole as did Reinhardt and she
belonged to the Englbh speaking peoples while the
1;. t- r helc^ged lo the world.
It hae bean given few people to live ns long and
r full ns Bernhardt. Her debut was made at Paris
August 11, 1862. Napoleon III was in the full
lory if Ills, Imperial r. ign. Leo and Stonewall Jack
son were shunting Pope and Banks about the Kapidan
and Knppahann. ck like chi.dura on a hoard. Bis
marck wae only Pm; an Ambassador git Paris and
the German Empire wt undreamed. Through all
the multitude cf events that, folic wed the brilliant,
sensitive, emotional coin::- lived tensely with an al
most consuming French patriotism. Truly there war
covered in .her dealt a run ark ably strong connection
with lho long ago. As a war nurse she lived through
the dying agonies of tin In ' Napoleonic regime and
taw German militarism ascend from prostrate France.
She was at the birth if the French Republic and
lived to chi r the grandsons of there who died at
Sedan lo a great victory for that Republic over the
militarism which had derpoilod tier country Hourly a
half c riury before.
Early in her career she firmly established herself
as the greate t actrcrs of her time, and for fifty years
rhe easily held that r. le. M re than forty years ago
flic caime to America, and reven times since she has
ftarred In American tr.urs. Nearly every country and
continent raw her and paid homage.
Not only was Bernhardt a great actress and in
tense patriot, but she was a sculptor, painter and
writer of prose with talent that would have won
recognition in each.
It is not a wonder that the world mourns at the
bier of this wonderful woman.
LEAVE IT OPTIONAL WITH THE WOMEN.
l\'e fully agree with those women of Alaska who
want the new jury law !o provide that women may
claim the right cf exemption from service. There
are many women situated so that it would work
an actual lmrdr1::p, not only on ill m but on others,
io compel them to rve on juries. This applies par
ticularly to tin, who have families to care for.
Furttier, there are many women to whom service on
a jury would bo so distaHteful and embarrassing that
it would likely impair their usefulness as jurors.
The i canons: why no woman should lie compelled to sit
at. a juror in a trial court are ro many and t o
obvious that it is not necirny to enumerate
further.

NEW PAPER AT FAIRBANKS.
The Fairbanks Alaskan, a four-column, four-page'
paper, published weekly each Sunday, is the latest!
Alar.ka newspaper to make it s appearance. James'
Fcater is the editor. In its announcement it de-1
Clares that it is its purpose to publish "all the news
that common decency permit p." it adds:
o' We shall not (suppress the truth nor dis
* itprl tho facts nor yet shall we shield civic or
| other rottenness from the public view. vVe
UPOB sefk pul the true rather
than the false, the clean 'ather than the
filthy trash. We shall look upward rather
than downward, forward rather than hack
ward and all times keep our eyes on higher
ideals of citizenship that cannot but lead
toward the goal for which mankind has
striven through all the ages—the goal of
human enlightenment.

Loyalty Begins In Our Home Town.
(Prince Rupert News.)
Here is an article handed In by a Daily Newt
reader that just touches the spot. Read It:
Are you loyal to the town you live in?
Never thought much about It perhaps. If not, It':
about time you tarted to do a bit of thinknig uloni
that line. Just about here some one will chime In
'‘Bah!’ I don't believe it: this petty parish patriot
ism. It’s all hunk. Tills home-town stuff gets m;
goat. 1 don : owe the place -anything, except It':
last year's tax . and I've never seen anything to
the taxes I've paid in any case. This burg is lial
(lead, and if the Ku Klux Klaners were to make ;
bonfire of it tonight, the country would be jUEt a:
rich tomorrow "
The follow that talks like that, and acts In ac
Cordanca, is just the kind of fellow that helps t(
make a town a poor place to live. Your town jus
consists of you and your neighbors, your homes uik
your business enterprises. If you're a live, pregres
■ive crowd, y i'll build a live and progressive muni
cipulity. Rut it you’re half asleep, the town wil
naturally he half dead.
And did you ever think that a place that's goof
enough to live in is good enough to stick up for? I
you don’t like It. why you have the simple remedi
of moving away, but If you're going to stay, it's u|
to you to be loyal.

The Literacy Test.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)
Dispatcher from the Torrtiorial cnpital ray tha
11 he lower House of the legislature has passed tin
Literacy Test Hill, requiring voters to be able to rent
I before they are to have the right of franchise. Tin
| Dill is now in the Senate where it must be given flv<
j of the eight votes before it can become law.
The House did well in passing this bill and it it
to lie hoped that the Senate will follow suit, it is
| hard to imagine what argument any Legislator, 01
! anyone else for that matter, could have against
'such 11 bill. It is a certainty that a person who is
uoi able to read cannot keep abreast of the time3
to know what Is going on in governmental affairs
i and otherwise. And 1o permit persons to vote whe
j tire not able to read moot emphatically has a ten
dency to encourage unscrupulous politicians, politica
I borres and near-political bosses to herd those un
sell; ;.h d Individuals'. Almost any blatherskite wltli
lliH Plib tongue can go among the unfortunates whe
have net had any educational advantage, tell then
a lot of truck, almost nlways lies, with the resull
that, tiny readily believe and follow the master. Tills
in particularly true in the native communities when
they have not the opportunity to hear or know ah
the angles of matters coming up for consideration al
the polls.
j There is nothing unfair about the literacy test
I demands a certain mental and educational standard
mid its only effect would be to increase in the heart
j of the right thinking who had not had proper edu
cational advantages the desire to put them in a posi
jiien where no one could deny them the right ol
franchise.
