Now is a good time for the cit
liens to look around for eandi-
dates for the next four years
Many will ''call'' themselves, but
the people want to be sure whom
they call. You will find a few of
these anti-Vardaman, anti-Bilbo
fellows that will tell you that
they are taking no stock in
any other office except the one
they are running for, but that
don answer; that is not true.
Some OF them are as bitter as
gall they strike in the dark and
they hate Vardaman and Bilbo
with all the hatred and venom IN
their makeup. Then why not
the Vardama1 and Bilbo me4
use the same medicine on them.
Why vote for an enemy OF your
friend when you can vote for d
friend OF your friend? They
stand by their crowd, you car
bet on that.

"In true profit sharing" said Mr.

ism of the highest, best and most
ideal sort; socialism that makes
real partners of employers and en-
ploye and yet preserves the right OF
private property, preserves the great
asset to business that comes
from individual initiative, retaining
the capitalists incentive to enter

the best class, and it is certain that
they will be as great success AS
those of the past two nights.
To those who have not yet seen
the Royal Players, there is a treat
in store: a treat that may not come
to Fairbanks again until the Terri
tory of Alaska is so thickly settled
it will be profitable for talented &C
tors to come here. That the people
who have witnessed the two first

can be no doubt
The many new friends of the Royal
company in Fairbanks are hoping
that the company will not lose any
thing financially by the expensive
trip to this city, for should they go
away discouraged, it is feared that
other good companies may not come
here.
The company will appear in a new

Alaska is Popular
Now In the East

How much the people of the East
are interested in Alaska is made evil
dent from the way the Musical Cour-
Ter. a New York magazine. played up
a letter sent to it from this city by
Mrs. Anna p. Caskey. The letter
was in regard to general musical
affairs, among which was mentioned
the fact that good concerts are oc-
casionally given in Fairbanks.
The editor evidently realized that
the public is much interested in
this far northern land now, and thus
he published with the letter a half
tone cut of the Valdez Narrows,
probably not realizing that the scene
is more than 400 miles from Fair
banks.

Rabbits are Raised
For risoners Food

LOS ANGELES, Cal. - Rabbit
stews and hot pies have been added
to the menu of prisoners in the city
jail to reduce the cost Of living Jail
er Bob Henderson of the East Side
jail, father of the rabbit feeding
plan, expects within short time to
serve these stews and pies to the
prisoners once or twice month.
Prisoners at the East Side jail,
under the direction of Henderson,
are busily engaged in building new
pens and caring for the fifty rab-
bits obtained as a nucleus for the
rapidly increasing stock.
With beef costing the city II cents
a pound for the feeding of prisoners,
officials took to rabbits as a means
of reducing the city's expense, and
say the first rabbit meal served
will more than pay for the cost OF
the nails and old lumber tor the
pens.
