CITY EI,ElC;'I'IlON
 COMES APRIL 6

As will be seen by reference to 8 notice published elsewhere in this issue of The Pioneer the annual election for the choice of seven members of the town council of the town of Iditarod and one member of the school board will be held on Tuesday, April G. As yet no announcements of can didates have been made public and so far as can be observed there IS a somewhat un- explainable indifference to the pending cleo ton manifested. However, it is expected that when public meeting has been called for the purpose of nominating candidates there will be the usual activity displayed and there is no fear that the offices will go begging.
 The present council consists of Claude Baker, H. H. Porter John Holmes, John c. Currin and Joseph H. Smith For some time past there have been two vacancies on the council, occasioned by the removal of members from the city.
 The school board at present consists of two members only-Henry Weir and J. J.. Smith-the third member, W. w. AcEeson, having removed from the city
 It is presumed that a mass meeting w1L be called at an early date for the nomina- ton of candidates for the positions men toned although no date has yet been set. In the meantime there will be casting around for the most available material for the dignity of ''city dads"

STORY OF DANIEL
 SERMONS THEME

On Sunday evening last, at A. B. hall, Archdeacon Stuck of the Protestant Epis- copal church conducted the first religious service by minister of the gospel that has been held in Iditarod for period of nearly two years While the arrival of the arch deacon had been too late for announcement in last weeks Pioneer, the word had been passed around, and at s o'clock fair sized congregation had assembled.
 The subject of the sermon was the story of Daniel in the lions den, from the lesson appointed for the day, being the sixth chap ter of the Book of Daniel The preacher in introduction of his subject called atten- ton to the fact that not for two years had divine services been held in this city the last time being on the occasion Of hls previous visit here and that by strange coincidence it happened to be the same Sun day in the church's calendar, when the lesson for the day had dealt with the story of Shadrach. Meshach and Abednego, who had been cast into the fiery furnace at the command of King Nebuchadnezzar. The story of the three Hebrew children in their ordeal and of Daniels experience before King Darius had always appealed to him as among the most heroic of the Old Testament stories. The spectacle of the young men defying the powerful emperor and refusing to bow down to his golden image, trusting to Israel'S God to protect them, was lnsplr- ing Daniels fearless entering ot the cen of lions rather than give up his worship ot the true God stamped him as a man among men.
 Leaving out of consideration all explana- tion of the seemingly miraculous connected with these incidents, there was enough Of heroism and grandeur to inspire admra- tiCn There was line of demarcatlon be- tween the vertebrate and the invertebrate- between the man and the Jellyhsh. And these Bible heroes had shown themselves to be men.
 As to the miraculous connected with the incidents, he knew that there was a ten dency to discredit them among the skep- tical. And yet he did not find it hard to reconcile the fact that God preserved his srevants in the fiery furnace and in the den of savage beasts with other accepted wonders of Gods omnipotence which were every day in evidence. In eloquent man. ner he depicted the wonders of Gods handl- crapt as everywhere brought to mans at tention-the wonders of nature, the beauty of flowers He never looked into the eyes of a newborn infant without being i'm pressed with the marvellous power of God which infused life and sight and the begin nings of underst anding into the mite of humanity He never gased on the face of the dead without wondering at the strange mystery before him-the eyes closed in death, the wonderful mechanism of the human body bereft of the spirit which had animated it. The wonderful organs were still intact but the spirit had flown. To him it seemed not at all marvellous that tbe God who could construct the wonderful universe and it's occupants-the stars in the Armament, the sea with its mysteries, the flowers of the field, the birds of the ar and His masterpiece, man, supreme over all

LIBERAL DIVORCE LAWS
 IN EFFECT IN MEXICO

A dispatch from Vera Cruz dated last January says
 General Carranza has added to his pro gram of reforms the granting of absolute divorce Any judge in Mexico-if he cares to take the chance of Carranza reseatlng himself in Chapultepec-n may annul marriage contract. The law became ettec- tive on January 1.
 Mexico heretofore has never granted more than legal separation. The new law not only provides for divorce with the right to remarry, but makes the dissolution of the union so simple that the mere agreement ot man and wife to break their marital con tract Is sufficient
 If the factions headed by Villa and Zapata and Gutierrez should not agree to duplicate Carranza's decree, or if Carranza should fail to retake the capital and restore himself to power. a state of marital relations not diff fering greatly from bigamy may be expected in the territory now controlled by Car ranza It Is asserted, however, that Villa, Zapata and their followers are of a like mind on the question: and will not hesitate to follow Carranza's example
 Should the law stand, Mexico will be, per haps, the most liberal country in the world in specifications of the causes for divorce. In the case of mutual consent it IS merely necessary for the man and wife to sign an agreement stating they are tired of living together, providing for proper division of property and the disposition of the chll- dren, present this to a judge after it has been attested by notary and the judge has no option but to render the judgment tha. enables them to search for new mates.
 Unfaithfulness, cruelty and those otfenses usually listed in most divorce laws as req sons for separations are given, but there are a few unusual features as well. Aban- donment on the part of the wife is defined as abandonment without cause o1 the con jugal home, even though it be for single night" Toward the husband the law IS more lenent. His absence from home shall not be regarded as abandonment unless he has remained away flor thirty consecutive nights
 The wife who refuses to support her husband when he is out of work and when she has money shall be adiudged as having given grounds for divorce.
 One restriction has been placed in that section relating to divorce by mutual con sent. It is specified that in that case the parties must have lived together at least for three years.

MINS'rbE'LSHOW
 SE'rFOR APRlI, 3

Saturday. April 3, is the date set for the presentation of the minstrel show by local amateurs, which has been the subject of much interest in the city and district for the past several weeks. This was decided upon at meeting and rehearsal held last Tuesday evening While the program IS not yet ready for publication, it can be announced that 9 number of new songs, many fine choruses and part songs arc oe.ng rehearsed and the results, as indicated by recent rehearsals, will be most pleasing
 Solos will be rendered by some of the best local singers, who are practlclng dlh- gently for the occasion and there is little doubt that they will acqult themselves cred itably
 The interlocutor and end men are also busily engaged in preparing their part of the program, and they are expected to fur nish a great deal of good wholesome fun Amateur mnstrels have been known to in dulge in local digs of a somewhat stlnglng nature In the coming minstrel show any thing of a local and personal nature that transpires will have eliminated from It any thing that will cause embarrassment or dis pleasure to the subjects, the one and only object sought being to provoke fun and en- tertainment It is likely that local business men and others will recognize familiar char acteristics in some of the jokes brought out, but this will only add to the joIhty of the occasion.
 The entertainment is benig timed to con sume about an hour and halfs time after which the hal! will be cleared and dancing will be indulged in for the balance of the evening.
 The proceeds of the entertainment are to be entirely devoted to charitable purposes, and it is hoped and expected that there will be large attendance to enjoy the program.

SAYS SNIISER IS A REPUBLICAN

The Washington correspondent of the Ia coma Ledger wires his paper as follows:
 up at Juneau there is bunch of staunch partisan Democrats who likely will go straight up in the air when they learn that the newly appointed district attorney, James NJ. Smiser, is not g Democrat, but 8 deep dyed-in the-wool Republican"
 omiser was appointed from the middle district of Tennessee as the district attorney for the First division of Alaska, with head quarters at Juneau, over Juneau attorneys who were named for the place, including John Reagan the incumbent.
 Smiser has not been confirmed as yet Juneau Dispatch.

 He extolled the faith of the subject of the discourse, and exhorted his hearers to the observance of the simple Christian vlr- tues for which the founder of Christianity worked while on earth.
 The sermon of the archdeacon was listened to with the keenest attention. Mrs. Percy Charles presided at the piano and led the singing of the hymns.

Resents One Critics Harsh Words


 Archdeacon Stuck was questioned regard ing the controversy brought about by the recent publication of letter in the New York Evening Post from his pen, and o1 recent published answers to it by oommis sioner E. Coke Hill of Ruby and C. Ellis Gardner, assistant district attorney at Fer banks, and submitted the following reply to his critics:
 'To the Editor of The Iditarod Pioneer:
 q have just seen the letters Of Mr. Coke Hill and Mir. G. Ellis Gardner which nave appeared in successive issues Of your paper touching some statements of mine Tn iet ter to the New York Evening Post of last October. ,,-
 Both MT.

CARE OF FEEBLE MINDED.
Discussed at National Conference of
 Charities and Correction.

Baltimore, May 17.-The problem of the care of the feeble rninded was discussed from many standp joints at one of the section meetings today of the national conference or charities and correction. Amos w. Butler. sec retary of the Indiana board of states charities, said that invesr1gation had supplied the following data: The most conservative estimate of the number of feeble minded in this country is one in every i've hundred of the population. This means 20O.- GOO. About one-tenth of this number receiving proper care. At least tWo- thirds of the feeble minded have in- herited their feeble mindedness.
 The average number of children born in family is four, whereas in those degenerate families we find 7.S each. One study of the mentality of truants shows upward of SO per cent. < Of them feeble minded. Many differ cnt studies show from 46 per cent. to S9 per cent of reformatory inmates to be feeble minded. If this stat ments should be taken at only half their value, they still show a con- dition important enough to need prompt action II I
