FIELD MEN ARE PROVIDED
 WITH MULTIPLICATION CARDS

The cashing of a number of worthless cheeks, purchasing sup plies and not paying for them, and successfully perpetrating other frauds by young man posing as an engineer of the United States Geological Survey engaged in spe"- ial work on Green, Grand and Colo rado rivers would not have been possible had the victims asked to see the indentification card with which every field man of the Geo. logical survey is provided. Such cards carry the engraved signature o: the secretary of the interior and the personal signature of the director ot the survey, Geo. Otis Smith, as well as the signature and photo graph of the employe himself, witR the seal of the United states Geo. logical Survey stamped through all three. This may be worth remem- bering.

NoN-PARTIsAN CANDIDATES
 OPINION OF ALASKAN AFFAIRS

Honorable Arthur G. shoup, can didate for reelection to the terri torial legislature on the non-partisaI ticket, father of the woman's sut- frage bill, which was the first leg islatiYe act passed by the first AL aska legislature, and who gained general recognition aa the floor leader for progressive Legislation iu the first Alaska legislature. ar rived in Skagway on the Hnmboldt Saturday night in company with Wm. Britt, also a candidate on the non-partisan ticket for member of the Territorial Legislature. Mir. Shoup, in speaking to 8 Daily AlaH- kan representative yesterday of the work of the fist Legislature, and also of the legislative powers ot the territorial legislature, said:
 My politics? Why, 1 am a re- publican. but l cannot see just what party connections have to do with local Alaskan problems. Every thing tho Alaska legislature has to do relates entirely to Alaska, either by direct enactment or in matters over which the legislature haa no jurisdiction, by memorials to con gress, or to the executive depart ment of the federal government. Speaking of these memoriala re- minds cue of how little realisatioA there mas been of the importance of this form of Legislative activity. The first Alaska legislature sent fifty-niue joint resolutions and mem- orials to congress Or to the execu- tive department at Washington. Very nearly all of them have re- ceived favorable recognition in some form or other. This shows that the government at Washington Is disposed to follow the desires of the Alaska people in Its dealing with Alaskan questions, and also that the territorial legislature is regarded at Washington as the authorized and representative mouth' piece of the Alaskan people. Know ing this, the legislature should not hesitate to petition congress or the department for the correction of any evils which may exist. A mem- orial should not be sent for trivial, unimportant or unreasoEable re- quests. We are very apt to be taken at our word in these matters, and for that reason, if for no other, the memorials should be very care fully considered before they arc adopted.
 After the department of justice rendered its adverse opinion re- garding the revenue laws, we heard a great deal of unfrieRdly talk about all of the work of the legis- lature. Criticism of acts which one will find given the highest praise iu the Alaska papers publish ed at the time Of their paEsage. Ap- parently with some ulterior design some of our politcians took a vantage Of the opportunity giv- en by the revenue opinion to syE- tematically spread the idea that everything the legislature did was ineffective, while, as 6 matter or fact. this opinion was confined to the right of the legislature to im- pose additional duties upon terri torial officers appointed by the fed

WOULD END NAVY
4PLUCK|NG BOARD"
Secretary Daniels to Ask Con-
gress to Repeal Law
of 1899.

WASHINGTON, July Naval
officers We're discussing with gratifi-
cation today Secretary Daniels's an
noupced determination to urge Con-
gress at its next session to repeal the
law of 1899 known as the personnel
act, under which the ''plucking
board picked fifteen officers for COM
pulsory retirement this year. In
Guided in the list of those whose
active careers We're ended yesterday
by the recommendation OF the board
were several captains with distin-
guished records. While the health of
some of the officers "plucked" had
been regarded as somewhat unsatis-
factory, their condition was not such
as to warrant medical condemnation.
The records of all of them disclosed,
according to Secretary Daniels, that
they were not untitled for any naval
service. from the standpoint of habit,
temperament and professional ability.
Secretary Daniels hopes to have
Congress pass legislation to readjust
the naVy's personnel. so as to elimi-
nate certain features of the present
law which he considers Objectionable.
With all the 'palpably disqualified"
officers already eliminated, the secre-
tary hopes to SO arrange the per-
sonnet that 1t will not be necessary
to retire any of the thoroughly CON-
petent officers now in the service.
The meetings of the "plucking
board" which are annual affairs, are
looked forward to with considerable
apprehension by naval officers.

TO HASTEN VOTE
ON TRUST BILLS
Congress Committed to Session
Until Monopoly Legislation
Is Disposed Of.

WASHINGTON. July Having
formerly resolved in party conference
TO remain in Washington until the ad-
ministration antitrust program is
finally disposed of. Democratic lead
ers In the Senate were determined
today to press the proposed legisla-
ton to a conclusion. These measures
include the trade commission bill, the
Clayton antitrust bill and the rail-
way securities bill
Decision that Congress should not
adjourn until the antitrust legisla-
ton had been passed was reached at
a conference of Senate Democrats
late yesterday A resolution TO that
effect was adopted. which was in
tended as an answer to the propa-
ganda for immediate adjournment Of
Congress.
That the majority intends 70 eXpe-
iite the passage OF the antitrust leg
islation is Indicated by the fact that
they plan to press for vote on the
trade commission bill at the earliest
possibie moment To that end the
Senate is TO be asked to begin hold
ing night sessions next week and an
effort made to keep a quorum on
hand at all times. The other two
trust bills are still in committee, but
it is hoped to have them reported 10
the Senate at an early date.
Chairman Newlands, of the Senate
Interstate commerce committee, fol-
lowing a conference with President
Wilson last night, announced that the
trade commission bill would be
passed shortly and that there should
be little trouble over the remainder
Of the program. The hope is now en-
tertained by some of the leaders that
Congress can adjourn not later than
September /, with the trust program

it the best hotel in town? Isn't it
200 years old? Haven't the greatest
Mexicans during the past two CEN
turtles dined there contented?
What if Inspector ,MacManus did
go into the kitchen and find chicken
and fish heads hidden in out of the
way corners? What you don't see
doesn't hurt you. Suppose he did run
his knife blade through the cracks in
the kitchen table tops and dig out
well, matter that had been in the
cracks for many years, and then make
the hotel people cover all their table
tops with zinc? What good does it
do?
Walters will be walters. They were
all born in 'dobe houses anyway. and
they never will know how to serve
gentle folks and it's hopeless to try to
teach them. We upper class Mexi-
cans have been trying to teach them
for the past two centuries, and we've
failed. Why worry, as these Ameri-
cans do? This person Funston really
doesn't care, either. He's only doing
1t to keep his soldiers busy, his mad
animal soldiers, who run around with
massive smiles on their blonde faces.
And then there's the band music to
talk about. If you're an upper crust
Mexican, who has been often to Eu-
rope, you'll talk about that, too.
What extraordinary musicians.
They don't look as if they knew one
note from another. They cut their
hair short. They have massive chests
and no one ever blew horns as they
do. They can play La Paloma, :"
though; yes, indeed, they can. But
they put the joy of living in it,
not the pleasure of sorrow. (Which
means that they're not much given to
incoming around in their music.)
They're too healthy and strong and
vivacious. They belong to a new
virile nation, while we Mexicans are
old and highly developed and complex
in our emotions. They're Huns: we're
Greeks. No wonder their general has
a hard time keeping them busy with
dogs and dirt In restaurants and
things.
That's the way you'd talk If you
were a, Mexican in Vera Cruz.

Quick Passage of Dam Bills
Predicted as DissensiOn Ends

WASHINGTON, July with vir-
tually all differences in Democratic
ranks smoothed over as to the best
methods OF regulating water power
projects on navigable streams, adj
ministration leaders were confident
today that both the pending Adam
son and Ferris general dam bills
would quickly be passed by Congress.
The Adamson bill Is now before the
House, but has met with opposition.
The differences over the bills,
which threatened to become serious,
practically were ironed out at a con-
ference at the White House last
night between President Wilson and
administration leaders, when the
conflicting provisions in the measures
were threshed over and made to con-
form to each other. An agreement
was reached, it is announced, where
by under the new legislation all OBJ
structions to navigation will be re-
tanned by the war department and
construction of dams by the interior
department.
