LOCAL TEACHERS
DID NOT APPLY

Complaint having been made to
the Citizen that the school board had
adopted the mail order" system of
procuring teachers for the Fair
banks schools. and that local tai
ent was not being given square
deal in the matter, IA representative
of the Citizen was sent out to in
vestigate the matter of the hiring
of teachers.
1t was demonstrated that when it
became known that Mrs. Franklin
who had given excellent service was
to be lost. that the members of the
board now in Fairbanks did not have
an application from any local aspir-
ant to the position about to be va
rated or in fact for any position
whatever in the Fairbanks schools.
1t being urgent that a competent
teacher be obtained as soon as pos
sible the other member of the
board who is now on the Outside
was authorized to hire a teacher
whose application was on file and
known to be thoroughly competent
After it became known that a new
teacher had been hired on the Out
side then there We're some applica-
tions made from local people for
the position about to be vacated.
Roth members of the board now in
Fairbanks say that had these appli-
cations been on file they would as
suredly have had first considera-

Mr.. Wickersham said that if there
was anything wrong with the bill
he wanted it corrected. He said that
the citations were from the enabling
acts of other territories and that
none If them We're exactly alike
but that they We're given to show
in what manner they were followed.
He contsnded in his argument
that the, territory had full power to

territories had subject to the limita-

on territories with three

men vas an effort 10 arrive al a con
clusion as to whether or not there
was anything wrong with the bill
Assistant District Attorney Brown
acted as chairman of the meeting
and stated clearly the question at is

lature to be created by this bill
would not have authority TO alter
amend or repeal the ccde OF Alaska
or OF any. single section thereof un.

gress so to do"
Mr.. Roth had the affirmative side
of the question and confined him
self exclusively to section four
which he said contained all his OBJ
jections TO the bill He asserted
that il the bill could be made to
read so that it would give home
rule he was satisfied
Mr. Roth insisted that this sec.
ton barred the legislature from
amending any part of the code. He
alleged that there was never any
territory admitted with such restric-
tons and that the citations used by
Delegate WiCkersham were false in
that they purported to state that
every law cited was identical with
the subject matter in question. He
cCntended that the way to remedy
this bill was TO substitute in the

choice Havana tobacco. They are
not gummed. but are held together
by a dexterous inward fold of the
paper.
1t would seem that the king and
queen did not wish their eldest SOB
to smoke until his seventeenth birth
day. and on that date he received
many gifts representing the Smok-
er's small Injuries. If rumOr speaks
truely. the young prince does net
show very great enthusiasm as
smoker. and is quite satisfied with
the three cigarettes day which are
allotted to him until he reaches
his eighteenth birthday
The health of Prince Henry con
tinues to cause anxiety. The expert
ment of sending him to school at
Broadstairs has resulted in an i'm
prcvement, but the gain in strength
is hardly rapid enough to satisfy the
royal physicians. 1t is hoped. how
ever. that quick change for the
better will come during his holiday
sojourn in the highlands.
Prince Heny's lack of vigor is the
more serious. because he growing
too fast for his age. He is the tall

the making Of fine, handsome
lad. His continued weakness does
not seem to affect the princes live

him the family nickname OF Blue

the royal children. and his comical-
tiles of manner and speech are the
delight of all who know him.
