CONGRESS- PLANS POLITICS
 FOR ! FEW WEEKS

II. VI. Eakin of the geological sur vov came up on the Jefferson Wed ncsday on his way from Washing ton to the interior. Mr. Eskin Is somewhat later this season than usual and he informs the Daily Alaskan that the membership of the survey party has been consider. ably reduced this year owing to the failure Of congress to pass the necessary appropriations fer the work

Stand-Pat Party Claiming Every thing When Facts show Wicker sham Continues as Choice of AL aska For Reelection. Meeting to Gather in Behalf of Delegate.

Cordova, July 2-The Cordova Alaskan's representation which has been sent broadcast to the effect that the citizens of Cordova had ex- tensively signed petitions asking Delegate wicke,sham to withdraw in favor of Gilmore, is absolutely false. GiImore's committeeman af- ter covering the field concede that wickersham will carry Seward, Knick, Kenai, Hope, Sunrise and Susitna.
 Latest reports from Ruby and Iditarod indicate that Wickersham will carry by large plurality.
 The Gilmore rally at Nome was joke. Only forty-seven were present and they constituted the federal employees and the Guggen- helm followers. They rounded up all the henchmen and after pad ding the rolls wired to Wickersham asking him to withdraw in favor Of Gilmore.
 The report that Ritchie and Nor ford have come out for Gilmore Is false as the rest of the canard.
 The same old agglomeration of grabbers that swept Orr to defeat at the last election are resurrecting the same old tactics which is to place Gilmore in the also ran caravan which leadeth 10 destruction

HARMONY NEEDED IN HOME
illness and Disturbed Nerves Are the
Sure Result If II 10 Lacking
There.

The imperative need Of harmony in
home surroundings as we'll as in busi-
ness life is being felt by thinking
more every day. 1t is impossible to
do our best work in any atmosphere
Of confusion, and 1t Is an almost In
variable rule that illness and dis
turbed nerves are the penalty exacted
II we allow ourselves to be drawn in
to conditions that do not spell har-
mony. Our home is u castle, and
nothing should be allowed to enter
therein that makes us unhappy.
If one is obliged to take strangers
into the home IN account of financial
| consideration 1t is wise to make sure
that they are not antagonistic IN any
! way that will affect the family rela-
lions, otherwise it is better to give up
the extra profit and do with less If 1t
means peace of mind. There is no
price too great to pay for harmony,
for it means health, happiness, fnan
cial success to you and yours, the
ability to help others, and all through
the gaining and holding the menta
poise which is the peace of under
standing. Some of us have to be beat
Zen with many stripes before we rea
ize the need of and grasp the know
edge of harmony, but those who hav
already felt a longing for 1t and paus
to listen will get the revelation an
receive its gospel like benediction.

h s q Muller

A queer customs ruling relates to
that noble animal, the mule. An
contractor took some mules
into Mexico for use upon some CON
struction work there, and upon the
completion of the contract brought
the mules back to Texas. The Gus
toms officials insisted upon his paying
duty, but the contractor claimed free
entry for the mules as ARTICLES OF
American growth returned without
being advanced in value" The off,
Gals declared. however, that the board
of appraisers has sustained them
that mules are not ARTICLES" What,
then, are they? If they are persons
they. are certainly entitled to come
back home. Since the decision that
hen is not a bird, the customs service
has got its natural history f~earfully
and wonderfully mixed.
