JOHN RICK REFUSES
 TO CONTEST SEAT

The statement issued by Chairman Valentine. of the Bull Moosers" to the effect that he would file a pro- test in behalf of the Progressive Home Rule" party contesting the seat of Arthur c. Shoup, of the lower House of Alaska's first legislature. is not meeting with a very sympathetic reception.
 Arthur G. Shoup was elected on the Non Partisan" ticket running lowest on the ticket. especially where he was not known. and when a fight had been made on him and highest where he was best kuowu-in Sitka, his home town. he got every vote east tri- bute not paid to another candidate in the field
 Nevertheless. he was lowest on the ticket when the totals of all the pre- cincts were added togethr.
 Mir. Shoup's nearest opponent. John Reck. on the Progressive ticket. was far in the lead of his Bull Moose running mates and yet John Beck says that he was beaten and that is the end of it so far as he is con cerned
 Mir. Reck said last night: q hope I am too good loser to contest an election after [ am beaten. I have absolutely nothing to do with this mat ter I have pointed out to NIT. Val entins the absurdity of his position and asked him not to do it. but he is chairman of the organization and will have his own way. I would not take a place in the legislature even if the board decided in my favor. The peo- pie have decided otherwise and be- Iieve in the people ruling Under ordi- nary circumstances I believe I could have been elected, but I wasn't and I don't want and would not take a place resulting rom the decision Of a contest of this kind"
 There will be no authority to pass on contests until after the legislature meets and organizes for business.

However, it is believed that the nego. tions might have been completed but for the attitude of the Turkish army which has always been eager for the continuance of the war. It is gener- ally believed that the Turks have lit tie chance of relieving Adrianople.

For nearly a year there has been
an "acute labor famine" in the Pitts
burgh district The Pittsburgh Indus
trial commission, which has given
much study to economic and sociolog-
ical problems, has reached the conclu-
sion that the increasing scarcity of la
Dor for the mills has been due to the
rback-to-the-farm movement More
than $500 foreign laborers, mostly
Huns and Austrians, have thrown up
their jobs in the factories and mills
and obtained employment in farming,
truck gardening and fruit-raising in
the western country, says the New
York Times. 1t was expected that
they would return to the mills when
the winter began, but they appear to
he 30 we'll satisfied with their change
Iof occupation that they have not come
back, and, having once tasted the
sweets of living out in the open, there
is not much likelihood that they Will
return to the cramped conditions un-
der which they have lived. This
movement to the farms Is a good
thing for the workers, and an even
better thing for the community gen.
orally, as it means larger food crops
and. eventually, cheaper living.

Professor Hiram Bingham, who con-
Quoted the Yale archaeological expe-
dition to make researches into the
period Of the Incas, found disposi-
tion on the part of the Peruvian gov
Iernment to discourage investigation
by outsiders. This is the spirit that
Italy exhibited when scholars of other
lands offered to raise money enough
to lay bare the artistic and archaeo-
logical treasures of Herculaneum.
During many years the same spirit
has proved bar to research work
by foreigners in Egypt, says the Mil
weukee Wisconsin. In the case of
Peru and also in the case of Egypt
there is no vestige of sentiment in
the policy of exclusion. 1t is not as
Iif pious descendants should say, You
shall not disturb the graves of our
ancestors!" The Peruvians ruling
class are descended not from the
Aztecs, but from their Spanish con-
querors. The rulers Of Egypt are not
descendants of the ancient Egyptians,
but Turks. The Italians, on the other
hand are the direct descendants Of
the ancient Romans; 80 that their in
sistence that they and not Germans,
Mnglishmen or Americans should con-
duct the proposed excavations has
justification in pious sentiment which
can be well understood.
