tion OF the Judges such expression
would be made and such Limitation
of candidates had as would indicate
that Waterloo did not want or expect,
more than two Of the three Judges

the multitude OF its candidates it,
cannot express such preference. In

cause Of the inequality IN the law

Quoted on Sunday in the interests

been as universally respected as
President Wilson's call setting aside

plication.s 1t Is said that In the city
Of Chicago more than a half million
people gathered In the one thousand
churches to participate in these spe-
cial services. In many Of the larger
cities church buildings and large
halls were altogether inadequate to
accommodate all those who wished to
have a part in the services, and OPP
en- air meetings were held In parks
and other convenient places. 3s $.-

In this way there will be brought
home to the fighting states ,1e deep
religious feeling of America and the
method of its expression in behalf

There is no state office to be fill
ed by the voters in the coming elec.
ton which is Of greater importance tt
the people than the office OF Judge
Of the District Court, I'VE need men
who have the ability ana strength Of
character to justly and fearlessly
interpret and enforce the law. It has
long been contended that the office
should be removed from partisan
politics and in an endeavor to reach
that fend under the late Jaw, to elect
Judges on the non-partisan ticket was
enacted. 1t remains to; be seen il
the endeayor to take the office out
Sot partisan politics win not result Il
the greater evil OF giving 2to the
larger centers OF population the pow
,er to-; fill the offices and rob the
rural districts and smaller cities OF q
chance to be- represented upon the
bench. AS rule, few people care
what the politics OF a Judge is II he
is an honest man and qualified for
the, place, hut, every citizen in the
distafet IS Interested in having men:
Of proper qualifications chosen and
also in having them SO Il. located
throughout the district that Ethe needs
Of the district can be properly met.
There are three judges IN this dis
trict and all three OF these Judges
are to be elected this fall. There are !

On returning to Seattle the taking Of testimony will be resumed until completed and then the testimony will be sent to the land of flee in Juneau for final hearing before heinz sent to the commissioner of the general land office. The cases involved are against the Alaska An thraclte Coal company, claiming what is known as the Green-Young group in the Matanuska fields and against the Cleveland Coal company, claiming the Christopher group in the Boring river fields. Testimony in the first men, toned case was taken at Seward end ing September II and In the other at Katalla closing on September 23.

At- terward he went to Seward and spent considerable time in the Willow creek district looking into the mineral and agricultural possibilities.

SEWARD WANTS MAIL
 ROUTE TO NOME

The distance between Seward and Nome is 44O miles shorter than the distance between Cordova and Nome and yet for some extraordinary req son the mail to Nome is not sent through this city.
 Seward will sec it's first period as the real gateway to the interior on the first of November when the mail will start for Idltarod. On the whole route to Iditarod there are only 12 miles without timber so that the trail Is an ideal one. Colonel Revell will leave in the morning to look over part of the way. He believes that the opening of the Seward mail trail to the Idltarod will mean probably that the mail trail to Nome will be taken into consideration.
 During the winter months the peo- pie of Nome are placed at very ser ious inconvenience owing to the length of the trail over which the mail is car rled to them and to the accidental de- lays which occur in proportion to the length. There is a movement afoot now, 1t is understood, to get the CO., operation of the Nome people for the work of having Seward chosen as the gateway for the mail. It is certain that the people of Nome only wait to learn that they can get their mail more quickly by this route.-Seward Gateway.
