A new CAESAR
(Mcdford Mail.Tribuuc)


Eaton is not fit to be the speaker
Of this or any other House. -
Thus declares the Portland Oregonian,
which adds that Mr.. Eaton will "not
thus be honored by a republican lcgis
lature with the Oregonian s consent" !"
The people Of Oregon supposed that
the right Of choosing speaker be-
longed TO the members Of the house OF
representatives and that It was their
province to pass upon the fitness Of the
various candidates for the office.
In this the people were evidently
mistaken. The Oregonian assumes the
divine right TO organize the legislature.
II ordains that IL be organized to car
ry out its own schemes to promote the
preposterous ambitions Of its editor
who seeks to become United States
senator It has therefore resuwected
Ben Selling from the graveyard Of
political Oblivion IN which its own sup
port inferred him, and dccreed that he
be chosen speaker as preliminary to
candidacy for governor four years
hence.
Mr., Eaton 's mfimcss is declared due
TO the fact that he championed appro-
priatons for the State University,
which is located in his home city,
Therefore he is guilty Of the heiuous

THE WAR ON BACTERIA.

If we are to steriize the mouthpeces Of telephones
every day to kill the bacteria and prevent Infection and
are to scour the doOobs every day for the same rea-
SON. why not be consistent and go scrbbg and scrub
ing everything with which we come in contact?
If these bacteria must be cleaned out once day. why
not once an hour or once minute! The peStlIefOuS
things are apt to get in any second.
OF course everybody knows that drinking water
should be not only boiled but distilled and then drunk
from sterized cup and the mouth rnsed with an anti
septic solution after
We have all often enough been warned that hand
shaking is dangerous and that kissing is simply deadly
All of which warning we have all duly observed, OF course
And now that we have got used to the ncessan scrub
bng and turned from hardship into habit 1t is shocking
TO be informed by eminent bacteroOgst that we still
are in momentary danger from microbes that uk in the
scrub-brush itself.
Maybe we shall next be scrlbbing the scrbbrush and
sterlizng the soap and then sterlzing the ste1zer
Bacterioogsts are Unsuitable They never know where to
stop
But their demands if fully acceded to, would leave us
no time to make living 1t would be scrub scrub with us
all the while And while saving ourselves from death from
microbes we would die of starvation
The farmer instead of plOWing, would put In all his
time killing the microbes his pOWhandles the butch
er instead of killing beef would never cease to scour his
knife and ceaver and there would be nothing produced to
eat.
This sort of thing may be carried too far The bacer

THE AMERICAN DUTY
(From the Post-Intelligencer)

The United States. in measure, IS paying the penalty of it's absorption of foreign citizenship in the unrest and confusion that has come to its peo- ple through their varied sympathy with the nations now at war. In the circumstances of our large for eng- born population it is tribute to the spirit of our institutions that this unrest is not ed and that it has not been reflected to greater tent in the policies of government. It has, how ever caused some friction and ebullience that may at any moment result in some overt act that will cause grave international complications.
 The European war, while grievous concern to all humanity, is not of making, and we can be but passive lookerson. ready when asked to extend the friendly mnistrations of peacemaker. Mean while we are the citizens of great neutral nation, bound by its obligations to observe unprejudcal attitude toward the belligerent nations. We are endowed with the privileges of sel-government, and we must indicate by our actions that we worthy of it Whether we are foreign or American born. this is our home, the of daily mainte- nance, the national hearthstone around which we gather as family to enjoy the protection of our national life. To this country alone do we owe allegiance, and for it. alone, we bound to exert ourselves in peace or in war.
 Foreign-bon citizens may be expected to retain their birth but they should be careful that the sen tment is not shown in such to embarrass their adopted country.
 The United States has succeeded in preserving an admirable pose in it's detached and neutral position through six months of The indications are that there may be twelve months of it. As the struggle progresses position as nation becomes more exacting and complications increase. The obligation of every citizen is to preserve such attitude as will not embarrass or complicate our already difficult position.

ARE WE DOING soMETHING'

Are we doing something to improve our condition Are active, just passive, which? We have been worrying about ths that and other things long enough without action is the time to act We have talked and discussed matters long enough that we ought to know what we want If we do, then let us act; and if don't let get together again and understand one another that we may work in harmony for the time to work is Congress will meet in day two and if remedial measures must be taken must present our case Congress will not act unless do.
 Everybody is argeed that congress should give territory power, latitude in regulating our affairs, then let ask or that power. Mem- orals private letters and individual action help some but is far from carrying the weight that eommer- cial body of men working in unison carries. our fishing industries needs attention and commerce that follows the industry is being taken away from us in such that demands retaliation. All these things should be attended and since the opportuni ty is here, let us take 1t.
 We deeve that if every commercial club and or ganizations of all kinds in Alaska-and there are many-woud pass resolutions at their meetings, send copies to our Delegate and other members of con gress, setting forth what need would facilitate matters; would be enghtening and help congress tc arrive at conclusion.

According to Senator Sulzer's views political affairs in Alaska, Delegate Wckersham is not sin cere His declaration that he would introduce bill for statehood for the whole of Alaska is merely covering the issue says the Senator. And we don't know but that he is right If the Delegate had de- clared that he would introduce bill for the separ ation of the several divisions with full territorial form of government for each, particularly for the First Division we would be inclined to believe him sincere Yet the introduction of bill for statehood does not necessarily mean insncerity.
