Alaskans Respect Law

N. A. Peary, deputy United States district attorney of Nome, who reached Seattle on the Victoria, says, "Alaska is toniug down. notice that as time goes on there is less litigation through out the country, and that the people are gaining a greater and greater re- spect for the law.r-Seattle paper.
 The above gives one the impression that Alaskans have not been a very law abiding people, that, in fact they have in soEe measure deied the law. "Alaska is toDing down" says Mr. Peary. aThere !5 less litigation and She people are gaining a greater and greater respect for the Law
 That reads fine, don't it, in the col umns of great city daily? Almost like a page from some novel. But it gives altogether wrong idea of the people of the North, and especially the Nome section, where Deputy Peary halls from. He should have said that ghe federal courts are toning down, and that the judges and marshais are gaining a greater and greater respect for law, justice and honesty. He should have said that tAe black scar left by a horde of thieving rascals holding tbe reius of authority, is gradually growing less distinct, and that the people who have been able to endure the fight, those who have not gone down to their graves in anguished despair, are 6nally coming into their own, or what there Is left of it. He should have said that Alaskans are and have been the most loyal and law abiding people On the face of Gods earth, for had they not been they would not have meekiy en- dured the wrongs of the past.
 And what is true of tbe Nome sec ton is also true of-all other parts of Alaska. Each one has the black scar Shat is gradually healing. In each one the respect fortb law is strong, and in each one the people are now able to add Go their respect for tbe law a decent respect for the officers of the law, for they are honest men,

Recent press dispatches indicate that that the annual report of Governor J.. F.. A. Strong. of Alaska, has been sub mitted to Secretary of the Interior Lane. We gather that the document contains a strong recommendation in regard to the conservation of the terri tory's wealth of fish, and that it points out the need of a system of wagon roads and trails to supplement the rail roads which the government is to build from tidewater to the Yukon, and the efforts necessary to stamp out dis. ease among the native population. The report is also optimistic in that it cOn- veys the information that the white population of Alaska is increasing. When copies of the report reach us, we hope that we will find that the gover nor has not neglected the importance of the struggling communities of Southeastern Alaska Some very im- portant matters, affecting the welfare of tbis section, should be brought be fore the department, and while we continue as a dependency, we should at least have our wants made known.

One of the industries that has grown up right under our nose, here in Doug las, is the Leiyers Candy Factory, con- ducted by Mir. B. R. Leivers. From a very small beginning, indeed, this in- stitution has grown and grown. Very few people realize it, but this establish ment is now supplying not only a large part of the local trade, but ship ments are made to all parts of South eastern Alaska and as far to the west ward as Cordoya, Valdez and Seward. An excellent grade of creame, candies and box goods is turned out. With proper encouragement it may go on until it's demands will furnish employ. ment for large number of people. This is only one of the many instances in which Alaskans may find it profit able to support home industries. The greatness ofthe United States is largely due to the policy followed in the past of supporting and npholding infant in- dustries. Many articles now bought in the States might just as we'll be man ufactured in Douglas.

Blames the Forest Service

The Juneau Empire, which usually Handles Alaska matters with much tafyology, gets o8 bad au the question of the forest service and it's attitude toward settlers on the national reserve, when it says:
 "But, nearly all Of Southeastern Al aska has been made Into one vast national forest reservation, and DO one may settle down and hew himself out a farm without obtaining the consent of She forestry bureau, and as for obtain ing title, this is extremely doubtful unless the bareau officials are dis posed to relinGuish such holdings in favor oi the individual who has settled upon the land and improved it. There is nothing in the aspect of Southeast srn Alaska that wiIl prove attractive Co Esher-farners at this time"
 Unless we are badly mistakeny all this is untrue. Any one wishing to ahew himself out a farm" on any of the lands of the reserve will 6nd that the Of6cers-supervisoTs and Fangers-Of the forest service will give him greater sssistance than will any other depart ment of tbe government. In fact, we have been told, they stand ready to guide settlers to favored spots, and give them all possible assistance

The "BUY A.BALE OF COTTON" movement
continues to demonstrate that it is a movement
of real value in giving strength to the cotton
market. 1t is causing great numbers of people
to put money into cotton, which would have
been used otherwise, or left idle. 1t is "A move

REQUIRE SERVICE KEPT UP.

The Southern Railway is appealing to the
Corporation Commission that it be allowed to
take off thirteen Of its passenger trains in
North Carolina, urging as a reason for this
curtailment the bringing about of disturbances
in traffic conditions by reason of the European
war. And among the trains which it asks to
be allowed to take off is a passenger train con-
corning which it has entered into a solemn COM
pact with the State to maintain.
This train is the morning train from Green's
boro to Goldsboro, and with it the companion
train in the evening from Goldsboro to Green's
boro. The service rendered by these trains is
service that is needed for the accommodation
of travel between Goldsboro and Greensboro,
and the Corporation Commission should not
permit them to be withdrawn.
The Southern is under solemn compact with
the State to maintain these particular trains.
The need Of them has been long recognized,
and when in the last regular session of the Gen
eral Assembly the conditions Of travel were
made plain, and the need Of the increased SER
vice between Greensboro and Goldsboro was
clearly shown, legislative action to have the
trains put on was only stopped because the
Southern Railway, in a communication TO SEN
ator Graham, Of Orange county, stated that it
would put on the train.
That compact with the State it now asks to
be allowed to violate. 1t should not be allowed
to do so. 1t is q fact which is recognized that
the North Carolina business Of the Southern
Railway is of such magnitude as to justify bet
ter train services than those which now prevail,
and it is outrageous that the railroad is asking
to be allowed to curtail a service which is
needed, and to take off trains which receive SO
large a passenger business. The request IS for
a permission which would result in an impO-
sition upon the travelling public.
The Southern Railway does a large passenger
business in North Carolina. Last year its re-
ceipts from passenger business wholly in the
State was s2,432,e29.71, while its intra and
interstate passenger tratiic credited to this
State amounted to s4,663,65O.7S. With such a
business that railroad, now doing big business
J on it's passenger trains, should not touch the

IN SERVICE FOR THE STATE.

There are times in the life of individuals and
in the lives of States and countries. when there
is the need of special efforts being put forth Tor
the accomplishment of things which are the
need in the course of advancement
There is such a time now in the life of North
Carolina in the matter of the need Of changes
which should be made in the Constitution of the
State. That there is need Of changes is a mat
ter plain to those who have given even casual
attention to it, and that the changes proposed
to be made in the Amendments to be voted on
in November are necessary is the agreement OF
those who have given the closest study to the
needs Of the State.
The necessity for organization to present
these matters to the people of the State is self
evident. In order to accomplish any reform,
to make any changes in existing affairs there
must be an understanding of what is wanted.
and the reasons for this, among the people.
And with any proposed change in the Consti-
tuition the people require that they be shown
the effects which these would have upon them.
Having that in mind a number of citizens of
the State have organized to make the need OF
the proposed changes in our State Constitu-
ton a matter clear and plain to the people.
In doing this the gentlemen engaged are doing
a patriotic service and they deserve the fullest
support Of all in North Carolina who desire to
see our Constitution put in such shape as will
in the fullest degree prove of value to the State.
We commend the work which has been I'M
dertaken. by the men who have taken up the
task of having the value of the proposed
Amendments presented to the people. The
service in which they are engaged is service for
the State. patriotic service, which should be
supported everywhere. In every section Of
North Carolina it's citizens should aid in the
work undertaken by the men who are in this
campaign to have the people vote for the adop-
ton of the Amendments which are proposed.
The entire ten which are to be voted upon
should be carried .by a great majority. The
men who are giving their time to presenting
the need for these Amendments realize that
they will prove of real value to North Carolina,
and every man who wants to see the best thing
done for the State will rally to their assistance
in having this matter clearly presented to the
voters of the State.
