VITAL STATISTICS
 LAW VIOLATED

Secretary of the Territory Charles B. Davidson declares that physicians and others throughout the Territory are evading the vital statistics law which provioes for a system of reg. istering marriages, births, and deaths that occur within the Territory, and he is sending out circular letters to U. s. Commissioners, warning them to take action that will tend toward the enforcement of the law. The law in question was passed by the Alaska legislature and is a part of the session laws of the Territory.
 Tt worked beautifully" said Sec retary Davidson, until the court de- cision shattered the revenue law pass ed by the legislature on the ground that under the Wickersham home rule bill that body did not have the power to impose additional duties on Feder- al officials. That decision in the poll tax case rendered useless the vital statistics law because the point raised in it and on which 1t was declared in- valid is also an influential feature of the vital statistics law which also im- posed additional duties on Federal of. fIcials. For a time this office has tried to keep the law in force with out the aid of the U. S. Commission. CTS and the cooperation of profession al people with which 1t has to do, but the results have not been satisfac- tory.
 Recently Congress passed an act validating the revenue laws passed by the legislature and granting power to the legislature to impose additional duties on Federal officials of the Ter ritory," continued Secretary David son, "and the vital statistics law is now in force and must be complied with"
 The curative law passed by Con- gress has been made a part of Sec retary Davidson's circular letter and U. s. Commissioners are instructed that under the law 1t is their duty to provide ministers. physicians and un- dertakers with the necessary blank forms on which to make returns of marriages, births, and deaths, and such matters as come under their care in the exercise of their respective call ings that require being recorded un- der the legislative act

(. F. CHEEK TALKS
 ABOUT ISSUES

"The voters of Alaska, especially the women voters" said c. F, Cheek Democratic candidate for the lower house of the Alaska Legislature on the Democratic ticket, have strong claim for the consideration as well as has Mir. Bunnell, our candidate for Delegate to Congress. The first plank in the platform adopted at the divis. ional convention here in Juneau pledg es the Legislature to adopt the com munity property law and 1t should re- ceiye attention. It is of vital interest to every woman and child in Alaska.
 "As the laws now are" continued Mir. Cheek, "a husband may dispose of all his property or the property acquired after marriage without his wife joining him in the deed and with out her consent to the transaction, and she has no redress. We are pledg- ed to pass a law granting to women community of interest in all prop erty acquired after marriage-such law as Is on the statute books of nearly every State in the Union. This is the first plank of our platform and our candidates, if elected, must keep the pledge and translate it into law, The platform on which the Non-Parti- san candidates are asking votes is silent on this matter, and the simple statement that 1t favors granting the women something they already have the right to vote"
 we are also," said Mir. Cheek, "op- posed to spending a lot of money be- longing to the people in the needless work of revising the Alaska code simply scheme to provide some easy money for a few lawyers"
 Commenting on the other blanks in the Democratic Divisional convention, MT. Cheek said:
 "We are asking protection to home labor and home institutions; relief for the destitute and adequate ap- propriations for the maintenance of the Pioneers Home at Sitka and we want all Territorial officers elected by the people. We are looking forward to Statehood and believe we should prepare for 1t by bringing responsi- bility direct to the people so that they may choose their own agents for public business.
 While it is true that Democratic Delegate to Congress will be in an infin- itely better position to work for Alas. ka's interests in the national law.mak- ing body, it is equally true that the people speaking through memorials passed by Q Democratic legislature would also find a more willing ear among Congressman. It is but natur- al that in passing upon requests from legislative and other bodies through memorials that the source of such de- mands be scrutinized and if there is nothing on which to place the respon. sibility, there will be less chance of getting consideration"
 MT. Cheek says that while he thinks every man on the Democratic ticket for the legislature will be elected as well as Mir Bunnell, that he is leav- ing no opportunity pass to make a vote for all.

THEN-and--NOW

One hundred years ago Monday. the Presidents palace" at Wash ington was gutted by fire. and from thIs event it became universally known as the White House." It was at the time of the War of 1872. In the fiickering light of burning Washington the scarlet-coated dg- ures of the incendaries, the soldiers of the British King. were to be seen rioting in the streets of the city they had captured after President Madison and his cabinet and most of the citizens had fled at their ap- proach. In the general flight, Dolly Madison, the presidents wife, hn- gered long enough to cut George Washington's portrait from its frame and carry it off to safety. It is related that the presidents din- ner was still steaming on the table when the British burst into the palace" as it was then called. In the light cast by the burning Capi- tol, the Treasury Building, the Ar senal and 5000 volumes contained in the Congressional Library, the troopers rushed to the palace" Some seized flaming brands from a burning saloon and thrust them into the draperies of the presidents house. Mirrors. furniture and bric- a-brac smashed, while the flames burned until they had gutted the interior and scorched the exterior. When the palace" was repaired the fire-marks were obliterated On the outside with white paint. This, it is said, is the way in which the building became known as the , White House."

THE RED CROSS,

Never before has the Red Cross been given the opportunity for such great service as that which is being furnished by the European war. Even in times of peace it is called upon for aid and relief, so that there is usually something to keep it active in one di- rection or another, but especially is it organized for service on the battlefield for the relief and care of the wound ed. It is engaged in a cause for which every civilized nation cannot fail to subscribe and the help which this country can render through its funds and the sending Of surgeons, nurses and hospital supplies that the suffering may be minimized is bound to be needed
 Conditions in Europe speak for themselves as to the need of such services. While foreign countries arc necessarily giving attention to such requirements there is a part which this country, through individuals and their contributions, can play in rem dering assistance to the suffering hu- manity. The Red Cross as an organ ization is such that full dependence can be placed upon the proper use oi assistance offered through sucf@ a channel, and no matter who are in volved or what may have been StIie causes leading up to the conflict, the very fact that suffering exists is sui. fcient to call out its forces. It is ar object which calls for liberal con- tribution and one in which all car iustif1ab1y participate.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
LARGENEss OF HEART.

We are not called upon to make compromise of our own convictions.
 We must cherish what we genuinely
 believe with earnestness, even with self-sacrifice. One may honestly think that his own opinion is right and that it would be best for you to hold it;
 but even if it were possible he has no
 right to compel you to hold it. Of coulse, it is the shallowest conception of human nature that believes such compulsion to be possible. You may convert a person to a different way of speaking by force, as you might compel him to wear a different dress i; | but you cannot compel him to think differently.
 The man who is always abusing the l motives of others is never quite cer- tain of his own, knowing them to be selfish and interested. He who can fervently cherish a certain opinion and yet believe that a believer in the exact contrary may be equally sincere is the 1 man of genuine charity.
 It is this that we should aim at not the easy tolerance of indifference | not the charity that cares nothing and ! is giving nothing, but true largenass | of heart in cases where it may seem
 generous to be even just. Absolute | fairness of mind readines to make al. lowance for all difference in view
 these things are not always easy. Il

ILLEGAL SIGNS,

It is impossible to make a trip into the country without being impressed by the large number of signs placed upon trees. buildings and rocks along the roadsides, to the defacement of property and the destruction of the natural beauty. There is a certain number of these which are placed by permission of the property owners, and though they serve to detract from the beauties of the countryside, they are nevertheless legally placed.
 With many others however such is not the case, for the placing of such signs without the privilege being ob- tained is against the law of the state Section 1245 of the general statutes provides that every person who shall afTix to any tree rock or structure within the limits of public highway; any paper or advertisement, other than notices posted in pursuance o1 law; or who shall aff1x to the pronr erty of others without his consent, ~ word. letter, character or device, 'M- tended to advertise the sale of any article, shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars, or be imprisoned not more than six months or both.
 Attention is being directed to this law by the National Highway Pro- tectfve society, which is also engaged in removing such illegal signs, and enlisting others including property owners in their cause for the inn provement of the appearance of coun- try highways. It is showing an in- terest in the farmer for his protec- tion and its efforts are possible of ex- cellent results in a good cause.

Outspoken Declarations.

General Joffre, commander. of the French forces. issued the following proclamation at Muelhausen: After A years of sorrowful waiting French soldiers once more tread the soil of your noble country. They are pioneers in a great work of revenge. For them what emotion it calls forth and what pride to complete the work which they have made at the sacrifice of theiI lives"
 War motives seem to be getting slightly confused in the stress of the actual campaign. The great work oi revenge" it is safe to assert, would not be allowed to show itself in any ante-beilum declarations or diplomatic skirmishes. The great work of wal is revenge. however. as a general thing so perhaps General Joffre Is at once more honest and less issimulatins than his superiors-Ottawa Citizen.

INEFFECTIVE HUNGER STRIKE

tNEF r ES I'VE f7ONGER SIRtkE E
 Failure is the explanation which has been written after the much heralded hunger strike staged by Miss Edelson in New York It was what was expected and what was de- sired to place a damper upon such practices. It is not to be supposed that others will not seek to get mo- toriety by such plan. but the meth ods which were adopted to break up the sensational undertaking and which brought such good results lend no encouragement for future prisoners.
 It was the hope of Miss Edelson who chose a jail term to the giving of bond to keep the peace following unlawful activities, that as the result of her effort she could snap her fineers at the authorities and laugh at their power when she had to be released She relied upon the publicity, which she expected from her move against justice, to arouse sufficient sentiment to gain not only her freedom. but to materially aid her I. W. W. agitations She reckoned without her host. Clev- erer minds quickly showed the futiIity of such a course. She was deprived of the press agent stories upon which great dependence was placed and the sacrifice without such compensation was worthless. She was outmaneu- vered
 The result is that the bond to keep the peace has been given and if Miss Edelson profits by her experience she will make up her mind to follow the straight and narrow course of law and order If for no other reason than to accomplish it's failure. it is well that the hunger strike has been tried. Her experiment is one which others of her type can well take to heart.
