company of four accomplished mu-
sicians, will render program at the
Gem theater on the night Of January

Methodist church feel they are justi-
fled in looking forward to good pa
tronage.
One of the features of the enter

Payne, a double-voiced singer who
is said to be the best imitator of
woman soprano in America.

THE MANN LAW.

Public attention again has been called to the apparently unreasonable md unwarranted use to which the so- called Mann white slave law is being put. The original aim of this law was to prevent interstate transactions in commercialized vice-a most praise worthy object. without doubt-but in actual practice the law has mainly been used to accomplish things which properly should come within the range of police court jurisdiction. The law was never intended. we take it, to con- trol the morals of single individuals, set il has been perverted to this use This in itself seems neither wise nor desirable. while the objections thereby raised have been increased by the elaim that conditions thus created have been more useful 10 the cause of blackmail than to the cause of improv- ed morality.
 The latest instance of this msdi- rected use of the Mann law has revived a widespread discussion of the relative merits and faults of this measure An elderly man. maintaining improper re lations with mature young woman of 3i, was indicted under the Mann law because his conduct oyerspread a state boundary. Immediately thereafter the young woman in the case was arrested for alleged hlackmail, and a widespread publicity has been given to the un- savory mess which in itself is scarcely conductive to good morals.
 Of course there is no reason on earth why this man should not be pun ished for whatever crime he has com mitted. but on the other hand. there i3 no good reason why the machinery of the federal government should be put in motion for that purpose. To use law intended primarily for the prevention of interstate commerce in immortality to punish individual cases of immortality by the intervention of federal authority is simply ridiculous. Ii has been compared with Calling out the United States army to kill d skunk" and this comparison seems to be not greatly exaggerated.
 Cases like the one cited make an

AS TO SUPPLIES.

"Fhe country of Washington and Lincoln is not asked to fight but to use it's providentially offered option of shortening the period of disaster in the most peaceful way by withholding supplies from the cause it disapproves and thereby lessening the pitiable tor mre and death on the part of both the victor and vanquished."-Sir Oliver Lodge.
 Well, Sir Oliver. to pursue the sub tect, what about our putting an em- bargo on the sale of arms? Or does it make all the difference in the world whose OK is gored?
 We are perfectly well aware that Great Britain, Germany and France have always sold all the guns and am munition they could to any belligerent in any war who could pay for them.
 But two wrongs do not make a right. Uncle sam has done some romantic and idealistic things in his time He actually handed hack Cuba to its peo- nle, and all the applause he got or ask cd was that of an approving con science He may even repudiate the example of the Armstrongs and the Erupps. and Schneider & Go. at Creu- sot, and exercise the "providentially offered option" of stopping the sale of l the tools of slaughter to the present 1 Ihclligerents. It might not square with the law of neutrality to take such ac- not square with "good business" But what about good morals, Sir Oliver?- Milwaukee Sentinel

absurdity of the Mann law, and unless the United States court holds invalid that feature of the statute which makes possible these perverted uses of the law, the law itself should he amended. Restriction of commercial ized vice is a question which the fed eral government may very properly attempt to handle but it is neither wise nor logical for the general govern ment to undertake to control individual conduct and individual morals---Osh- kosh Northwestern.

charge made by Charles E. Davidson, secretary of the Alaska Legislature, against Commissioner Dillon of Fair banks seems to be prompted by per sonal animosity. It will be remem- bered that when Mir. Davidson was residing in Fairbanks, before he was appointed surveyor general of the Territory. he tried to dictate to Mir. Dillon in regard to whom the latter should keep employed in the Commis- sioner's office. and failing to have his demands needed, he tried his best to get Judge Fuller to remove Mir. Dillon.
 Since that time, Davidson has beer an avowed enemy of the local federal commissioner, it was to be expected taking into consideration Davidson's past political methods that he would go out of his way to cast discredit upon Mir. Dillon, should some kind of an ex- cuse present itself-Fairbanks Citizen.

A NEW VIEW.

During the course of a recent ses- mission in New York City. the Rev. Dr. John Haynes Holmes of the Church of the Messiah delivered himself of some striking declarations concem- ing the duties of the church under pre- sent day conditions As for instance Dr. Holmes insists that the chief pro- blem of the Church is the problem of industry. T have ceased to study mat ters of theology. Biblical criticism and the like" the Doctor declares. and have confined my studies to the press ing economical problems of the day" While every indication points to a radical change of thought on the part of the more advanced members of the clergy il is cheerful to find one who places the duty of looking after the material welfare of the people. if not in advance. at least on a plane of equality with the duty of saving their souls. It is seldom that a minister is willing to depart from the comforting platitude of orthodoxy long enough to perceive that the primary cause of lack of attention of the masses toward things supernal, lies in the great unrest oecasioned by the inhibitiye econom- ical conditions generally prevalent throughout the world People can hardly be expected to devote much time to the consideration of the here after when their whole time is given Up to the wearisome task of maintain ing existence under the harshest in- dustrial and economic conditions.
 When the body cries aloud in hunger and distress. due to no perceptible fault of the sufferer, few are found who calmly accept the view that their woe and misery is all part of some un- knowable plan of divine omniscence and therefore must be borne with pa tience and fortitude. on every hand is to be heard the cry of the starved and toilworn sufferers, who. yet inclined toward a steadfast belief in the kindly benifeanee of the divinity asking why the Creator apparently gives no heed To the Woe and suffering, the want and misery with which His children are afflicted during their period of pro- bation in objective life.
 Dr. Holmes states that it is his be- lief that the great clash of capital and labor and the attendant unrest among the people is one To which the church should devote itself in an endeavor to ameliorate conditions which cannot but result in still further increase of doubts concerning Gods benifcence.

 NOTES
(From Our Exchanges.o

Now, Juneau, says the Seward Gate way do not feel that we are in the least bit unfrlendly if it is suggested that Seward is the best site for the capital of the territory of Alaska. The day will come when there will be more than one capital in Alaska. more than one territory and more than one state. Seward is however the most central part of the territory today from the political point of view From the in terior it is the most easy place to reach, while it is in just about as near a cen tral position as anything could be with respect to the whole Alaskan coast
 The capital today is the only part of the territory which can be reached from any other only by steamboats. Besides all this-but then, the day will come when this matter will automatic ally almost, adjust itself and in the meantime there is no use in getting our dear friends of the present capital be-
 lieving we are unfriendly. We are not.

Washington, Oct. 22.-President Will
son, in his proclamation designating
Thursday, Nov. 25. as Thanksgiving
day, called attention to the fact that
the United States has, been at peace
while most OF Europe has been at war.
I'VE have been able to assert our
rights and the rights of mankind with.

rations with whom we have had to

Edison Day''

Thirty-six years ago, on October 2lst,
Thomas A. Edison gave to the world
the first successful incandescent elec-
trio lamp. Last year a movement was
started to celebrate October 2lst as Ed
ison Day throughout the country. Since
then this date will be stamped indelib-
ly on the minds of everyone as the birth
day of the greatest single achievement OF
this world genius.
Up to the very day, thirty-six years
ago, when Edison announced the dis
covery of the new lamp, the greatest
scientists and inventors in the world
said repeatedly that the incandescenl
electric lamp was an impossibility,
But Edison proved that it could be
done, as he had with hundred other
supposed-to be-imposssble things, and
gave 10 the world its first commercial
electric lamp bulb.
On October 2lst a nation honored the
man who has done so much to enlarge
our working day, to Danish night and
thus increase the scope of industry and
art.
OF the hour of victory, the birth o.
the Edison Lamp on October 2l, 1879,
Edison says: I'VE sat and looked, anC
the lamp continued to burn, anC
tho longer it burned the more facinat
ed we were. None of US could go tC
bed, and there was no sleep for ovel
forty hours. We sat and watched il
with anxiety and growing elation."
The discovery of the incandecen'
lamp was but small part of the tasl
which confronted edison in those busy
davs. 1t was necessary for him to. pro
duce a complete lighting system will
lamps, conductors, insulators. measur
ing instruments, dynamos, switchboards
etc.
There was no dynamo, or generator
suitable for Edison's new lighting sys
tenn, so the first thing he did was TO g
work and invent a new and better gen
orator than the electricians had eve
dreamed of before. There were n,
steam engines large enough, or fas
enough, to run the new generators, 81
Edison helped the steam engineers L
devise and make new and better engines

Stubborn Eczema
Healed by AmOIOx

We are daily receiving letters of praise
from people who have been cured by
Amolox. Many of them tell how, for
years, they have tried different reme-
dies and doctors in the vain effort to
find relief. Some became discouraged
and lose all hope of ever being cured.
E. r. Frisbee, ls7 Sycamore St., Mans
field, o. writes: ,'Our baby's face was
covered with eczema scales. sores and
scabs. She was pitiable sight. We
tried everything. Took her to Pittsburg
doctors but were unable to find any re-
lief until we used Amolox. 1t cured her
within a short time"
Amolox ointment will quickley heal
pimples on the face. red nose. aud mi
nor skin troubles. Chronic cases of dry
or moist scaley eczema require both the
ointment and liquid to effect a cure.

WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

To relieve the strain on Serbia,
pending the time allied troops Of sus-
ficient weight can reach the Balkan
front, the entente powers have launch
ed attacks against the Teuton and
Bulgarian armies, now threatening the
Serbian. forces. The past week Italy
launched aTgeneral offensive along
the Tyrol and Trentino frontiers of
Austria; allied warships, including
Russian vessels, have battered the
Bulgarian ports in the Aegean, and
Russia has increased the pressure on
the eastern front and by a coup of
combined land and sea operations has
flung men and guns on the coast OF
Courland, ninety miles northeast of
Riga, thus menacing the rear of Gen
eral Won Buelow's army.
What progress the British and
French troops are making in their ad-
vances northward from Salonica,
Greece, to the relief of Serbia is still
withheld, and there are misgivings in
many quarters that Serbia never will
be saved in this way. Greece's ap-
l.arent authentic demand that allied
soldiers, to insure her safety, rather
than allied concessions to expand her
dominions, constituted her price for
aligning herself against the central
powers and Turkey. carries the i'm
plication that she regards the forces
landed at Salonica as far from ade-
quate for the purpose.
Roumanias stipulation governing
her entry into the war in behalf of
report, narrowed to a similar. though
more specific, demand for 100000 al
lied troops to insure her against in
vasion.
That the Serbians' position is grave
is the opinion prevailing at London.
With this admission there is develop
ing daily an increasing rancor over
Greece's attitude. coupled with de-
mands that the allies do not allow her
policy to drift, while there is a posi-
bility of her turning against the en-
tente.
The Bulgarians, though hampered
by bad weather. are driving further
into the interior of Serbia, while
the Austro-German forces on the
north and east frontiers are maintain.
ing terrific pressure and moving slow.
ly forward.
Russia claims that the German
drive at the Baltic port of Riga has
been halted. The situation ON the
western front remains unchanged.
