A. G. McLEOD STARTS
 FOR THE OUTSIDE

A. C. Mcleod, the we'll known prospector who arrived at Flat City on last Christmas eve from the kuskokwim river, suffering from frozen feet, which were amputated by Dr. Auringer of the Flat hospital, left this city last Tuesday for Seattle, where he will be outtitted with artificial Trilbys.
 Mir. McLeod's long detention indoors made serious inroads on his resources, so Mrs. George Mutchler (who is always to the good) took upon herself the task of raising funds sufficient to take the old proSpector Outside in comfort. By placing subscription lists in various parts of the district and mak- ing trips to all the big mining plants in the camp, Mrs Mutchler within two or three days secured the sum of Sl,30S.50 for the worthy cause. By equally good fnanclering she reduced Mir McLeod's obligations to >24950 which was paid by her, and sent the unfortunate old-timer on his way re- joicng with S1059 in his inside pocket.
 Mrs Mutchler left the subscription lists, receipts, vouchers etc, at The Pioneer office, where they may be examined by anyone desiring to do so.

No public life the United States has been subjected to

 consistent peace he refused allow himself to be ed away by the mania which has swept the of inter- national politics during the past year.
 History reveals frequent of the wisdom and foresight ot great statesmen being demonstrated their ability and solve great problems with their bearing the less remote future In insisting the rights of the United States being respected in the present troubled of world politics. President Wilson probably guided by thoughts of future probabilities Rights which respected readily be ignored tune of peace While the people of the United States willing to concede many points avoid taking sides the European be that the interests of the country demand the settlement of problems rather than defer their settlement time when the United States great disadvantage Submission violation of rights conceded by international law and usage the hands of either begeen party easily be taken unneura act by the other The United States has obligations neutral we'll rights and these are what tend to compicate her position.

A JUNEAU COMEDY
Fairbanks Citizen)

In the political comedy that IS taking lace at Juneau, wherein full territorial form of government" and statehood are the chief jokes, new scene is being enacted The opposing factions have suddenly enough to make one dizzy if he were trying to grasp its rapidly enacted details
 For more than a year the Juneau Empire formerly owned by Governor Strong, has been advocating "a full territorial form of government" though just what that in vclved was never made plain.
 Previous to the election last fall the little political faction down at Juneau succeeded in getting into the local Democratic plat form plank supporting "a full territorial form of government for Alaska. The Elm. pire made its strong fight against Delegate Wickersham on the grounds that he was not favorable to the enlargement of terri torial powers.
 In his speech in Fairbanks, just before election, Mir Wickersham declared that Alaska had full territorial form of gov ernment," and made a joke of the fight against him on those grounds
 It seems that since that time Mir. Wick ersham has determined to silence this talk about more territorial powers and when he reached Juneau recently he declared him self in favor of statehood for Alaska, going a little stronger than the Empire and the machine at Juneau.
 The Alaska legislature is controlled by Mir. Wickersham, as the majority of the members were on the tickets that elected him. So the members jumped at once into line for the statehood plan. The Juneau Dispatch, Wickersham newspaper, which had previously been opposing the full ter ritorial form of government idea, made a sudden flop, too, to conform to MT. Wick ersham's opinion.
 This is when a new scene in the political comedy opened This sudden change of front on the part of its enemy almost caused the Juneau Empire to die of nervous pros tration The idea of the Wickersham people stealing the Democratic machines policy and making it still stronger by advocating statehood left the Empire without any steam.
 It would not do for the Empire to agree with the Wickersham faction, so there was nothing left for it to do but to oppose state hood. Now the Empire is declaring that NN@N' the sources of revenue to justify statehood, using in this way the arguments presented by the Citizen for more than year ID It's opposition to the plan of harnessing on the people of Alaska unnecessary taxes by ere atlng more offices.
 The Empire has arrived at the conclu- sion that Delegate Wickersham has set a trap for the Juneau machine, and that his plan for statehood is really for the purpose of putting an end for the present to further talk about more territorial powers. Perhaps this IS true.
 To express its contempt for the proposed statehood plan, the Empire, in recent edl- toral, says: =,
 Ut is so absurd, so utterly foolish, that 1t makes one sorry for it's perpetrators One might we'll wonder what will be the next scene in this comedy.
