POPULAR GOVERNME EMIT
BENEFITED.

j William Jennings Bryan, in his
Commoner. has this to say concern
| ing the fight that has been made
on Governor Sulzer in New York:
Governor Suffers break with
Tammany was the very best thing
| for popular government that could
have happened. To be sure it has
brought upon him the enmity of
powerful politicians and assaults of
all kinds have been made upon his
character. But all Governor Sulzer
needs to do to be triumphant is
to stand faithful and true to the
public welfare. If he has made mis-
takes-as all men have-in the past,
they will not be held against him.
provided he avoids the mistake Of
yielding one inch of the ground ne
has taken in opposition to the forces
that traffic in the honor of New
York state and in the honor of the
Democratic party"
No doubt Bryan remembers Balti
more and the Murphyites. He speaks
from knowledge and not from hear
say, but Bryan also knows because
he has preached the same old Demo
cratic gospel for sixteen years of
defeat. AS he says: All that Gov
ernor Sulzer needs to do to be
triumphant is to stand faithful and
true to the public welfare"
Tammany has Governor Sulzer
down and out, but he is not the
first man who has been sacrificed and
destroyed by the same organization.

BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION.

The quartz prospg ctors in the
hills ar-und Fairbanks have been
awaiting the arrival of the geologi-
cal reports with great deal O,
interest because it was expected
that some definite statement would
be made by DR.. p S. Smith regard
ing our quartz prospects, especially
as to whether or not the veins
would go wn and carry the values
in depth.
The reports have arrived and every
one who is able to get hold of on
is reading it, but as a general rule
they are disappointed.
Dir. Smith evidently cannzt see
any deeper in the ground than any
one else can, so could not make
any definite statement regarding the
veins further than as they were expos
ed by the pfospectors. Thor fore he
only describes then, insofar as he
could see them
However he maAes one general
statement, viz. .thaU the minerals were
derived from q deep-seated source"
which, in a measure, answers the
question. Ii is not our desire to
say word against the geological
department. DIR. Brooks and his able
assistants are doing great work
for Alaska and are rendering valu-
able assistance to the prospector

orable places where minerals. as a

He may be able to tell you where
the best indications exist and you
will have to dig, and only by per
sistent digging will we make this

Is a very interesting study. but practi-
cal geology can be put down as
hard work classified.
Prospectus have to uncover the
leads, faults, dips. spurs and angles,
and the formations. whether it is *
neous, sedimentary. intrusive or met
amorphosed, and the theoretical man
will come and classify it for us. So
it is up to the prospector to dig

THE TIGERS CLAWS,

In 1912 VIM. Sulzer received 649,-
ooS votes for governor of New York.
Although he received 1915 votes less
than did Wilson FIR president his
plurality over competing candidates
of 205,454 was 5,407 votes more than
Wilson's. AS the vote for ppresident
is generally the best test OF the
voting power OF the state it is safe
to presume that VIM. SulZer was,
but year ago, the most popular
candidate in the state.
He had been that states reuesen-
tatlve N congress for many years
and as law maker had nation
wide reputation for efficiency and
integrity. Even far off Alaska found
fl, end and sponsor in Mr.. Sulzer.
who, among his manifold duties as
representative of the greatest state
in the union, could always find
tine to render valuable assistance
TO our delegate or our other friends
anxious to obtain Tor us relief from
legislative oppression.
Although he has always had the
support of Tammany Hall he now
finds out that there is a vide diff
ference between representing New
York at Washington, ID. c., and at
Albany, N. Y.
Although Tammany eXerts a pow
erful influence at Washington it does
not. for wonder, have the gall
unutterable and cheek sublime to
try and run the whole business down
there. But woe be 10 the man who
has the effrontery to seek its sup
port and after election to office in
the state of New York refuses to
allow this giant political octopus to
dictate his policy and control his
every act, word and deed.
Mr.. Sulzer has felt the sting of
their political whip and has been
removed from office for exhibiting
an air of political independence and
disposition to do s3me good things
for the people that Tammany did not
want done.
To sum up the whole situation:
Sulzer has been removed because
of his fight for the direct primary.
This reform already adopted tired
and popularity welcomed by the COM
mon people of several states would,
if carried by the people of the state
of New York, leave the Tammany
tiger shorn of its power as a politi,
cal beast.

WAS ARRESTED FOR NOT
PAYING HOTEL LICENSE

On the charge of having refused to
pay her hotel license of $50 for the
years 1911 and 1912, Mrs. Harriet
Davis of the Columbia Hotel was
taken int custody by III deputy
marshal Tuesday afternoon on a
warrant sworn out by Clerk of the
Court Angus Mcbride.
According to the complaint filed.
Mrs. Davis had been repeatedly mott
fled the license money was due.
but she had refused 10 pay it. Mrs.
Davis contends that she had not re-
fused II pay a license but that she
was advised by lawyer that her
place was not a hotel and was sub
jet only to the ST. license of a
lodging house which was being paid
by several other places similar to
hers. AS the So license was refus-
ed she let the matter hang.
When arraigned before Comm S
sioner Dillen she pleaded not guilty
ana was released oil her own rcCoG-
nizance until the case was called

called assistant district attorney L.

dismissed as Mrs, Davis had paid the
sum of 500 20 the clerk of the

DEBTOR ASSAULTS CREDITOR;
FINED and SETTLES ACCOUNT

Because the creditor persisted in
after he had continually deferred
the payment of the bill which was
outstanding the debtor proceeded
to punish the creditor for his desire
to have the account settled. This
was too much for the benefactor
and he had a warrant sworn out for
the offended man and the case was
aired in the Municipal court.
Crane Duke, Montenegrin. was
the man who was hailed before
Municipal Judge PAUL. on the charge
OF assault and battery. Dan Carry
filed the complaint.
From the evidence introduced ii
appears that Duke owed the sum
tor several years. and as Garry was
unable to collect it he placed the
account in the hands of a collector,
who called upon the debtor and de-
manded payment, which was again
refused. Later in the day the Mon
tenegrin met Carry i'm a salon and
after taking him to task for his ac-
ton he started to beat him up but
was stopped by onlookers before
much damage Vas done.
The judge found the defendant
guilty and fined him s25 and costs
which he paid, aand after the trial
he also squared up with Carry.
