! ALAShANS VINO go OUTSIDE are
much like migratory birds, for they
almost always return in the spring.
SPECIAL AGENT LIGHT has ar
rived in Fairbanks from down the
river, for the evident purpose OF
throwing some light on the liquor
traffic with Indians.
THE fellows who are Directing
to the war tax, should be mighty
glad that they do not live in Mexico,
where people are forced to pay ex-
tortionate war taxes or have their
property confiscated.
THE present congress will go
out of existence next Wednesday
night. but it is safe to say that
the SiXty-fourth congress will be
called together in special session
| before many more weeks.
THIS is March l, the time that
it was previously announced that
the railroad engineers would be re-
turning North. So we can reason
ably suppose there will be some
thing of importance announced very
soon.
SOCIOLOGICAL experts agree
that both hard times and prosper
ity are the result Of psychological
conditions. Ii that be so. we can
get prosperity here by cultivatins
a spirit of optimism. SO let's all
keep boosting.
COURT work starts today. that is,
the grand jury begins its work to-
day and the holding of trials will
come little later This means tina,
the long period OF inactivity in Fair
banks is now over and times are
certain to improve.

its northward journey, the snow will
be thawing and spring will be here.
FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT has
been busy OF late telling people
that President Wilson's attitude in
the present war is just right and
that he should be supported by the
public This was to be expected.
for Mr. Taft himself was booster
for neutrality in Mexico and that
policy was one that he will long
be remembered for.
SOON after the route for the new
railroad is officially announced, it
may be expected that the govern
ment will prepare to open the sites
for the new towns expected to be
located along the route. This will
arouse much general interest on the
part Of home-seekers, and will prob
ably result in the increased immi-
grafton Of people to Alaska.
FROM private sources 1t is learn
ed that there will be several min
ing experts arrive in Fairbanks early

How can the public expect to be
benefited by the plan of limiting
the number of saloons without in
creasing the license fees?
How can We get better mail ser
vice if the people do not write let
tiers to the postoffice department
explaining conditions here?
Why should not Fairbanks b.
five times its present size in three
years from now?
Why do some people try to dis
courage the work of the Women
Civic club, when it is organized for
the social Improvement Of the com
munity? Do they fear it?
Why do some advertisers waste
their money in buying space in
newspapers that have almost no
circulation?
Is it not really better for you:
own interests to boost your neigh
bors' welfare than to knock" it?

the commissioners office for the
month of February were in the sum
of s577.95, as against the sum of ap-
proXimately $3.50 for the month Of
February last year The increase
of this year is due to the large mum,

in the United States. which NJ.
Wilson declared had already ar
rived. He explained why the coun-
try would experience new industrial
activity. and he declared that the
feeling of timidity on the part Of
money-owners has already passed
BY getting the people of money
TO be fair and TO take the public
into their confidence in their deal
ings. the President minated tn
strife between capital and labor
would be reduced
One thing that was suggested BY
Mr.. Wilson. which should receive
the careful consideration of the pup
lie, is the necessity of publicity on
the part of the people who control
the greatest part of the nations
wealth. In the past. he pointed out
business secrecy has given rise to
suspicion on the part of the public.
and this has developed into direct
opposition.
II is pointed out BY the Pres dent
that people are not equal in their
ability to earn money and to pre-
serve it. Therefore, he intimates
that there will always be men who
will win out in the race for wealth
and will become employers of labor
while others are destined. through
their lack OF financial ability, 20
work for others.
The following is taken from the
Presidents speech on that occasion
If my judgment is correct no
body has been suspicious of any
business merely because it was big,
but they have been suspicious when
ever they thought that the bigness
was being used to take an unfair ad-
vantage We all have to admit that
it is easier for a big fellow to take ad
vantage of you than for little fell
low to take advantage of you; there
fore, we instinctivsjy watch the big
fellow with a little closer scrutiny
than We watch the little fellow
But, bond having been given for
the big fellow, We can sleep o'nights.
Some men are going to get beat
en- because they have not the brains
they have not the initiative; they
have not the skill, they have not the
knowledge; they have not the same
capacity that other men have. They
Will have 20 be employees; they will
have to be used where they can
be used. We do not need to con,
ceal from ourselves that there are
varieties of capacity in the world.
Some men have heads, but they arr
not particularly furnished
There are, therefore, | suppose.
certain rules of the game. | will
mention what seems to me some
OF them. | already have mentioned
one of them by way of illustration.
First Of all is the rule of pub
lidty, not doing anything under coy
er letting the public know what you
arr doing and judge of it accord
ing as it is. There are great
many businesses in this country that
have fallen under suspicion because
they We're SO secretive, when there
was nothing so secret that was dis
honorable Publicity which is re
CURED in sport is required in bust
ness. Let's see how you are running

BIG DOINGS IN CHARLESTON

Southern Commercial Congress Will
be Greatest Event OF Many Years.
Charleston, Nov with the early
days of November has come great ac-
tivity on the part Of the local organ
lzation, cooperating with the organiza-
ton at Washington, to prepare
Charleston as the hostess city OF the
Southern Commercial Congress, the
Atlantic battleship fleet and thousands
OF visitors from all parts of South
Carolina and the South. Almost daily,
at tho present time, there is meeting
of one OF the efficient committees of
the local organization and the vim
with which these committees have talk
eli hold is in itself an assurance of the
successful session which the purposes
and aims Of the Congress justiics.
Celebrating the victories Of 80 years
OF peace in the United States, the sew
enth annual convention of the Con-
grcss in Charleston will be addressed
on 10 big vital subjects by more than
half a hundred of the ablest and most
widely known men Of today from all
parts of this and foreign countries.
Heading the program Of entertain
ment for the throngs that will besiegc
the old city will be the great Atlantic
battle fleet. An army and navy parade
will be notable feature Of the amuse-
ment program, and those who witness
1t Will have something to remember
long. Sailors frolh the ibattleships
anchored in the harbor, regulars from
the army post at Fort Moultric and the
militia Of the State will be in the line
of uniformed men participating N
what perhaps will be the most extern
sivc review Of troops ever seen in
South Carolina since the days Of 1864
10. y specially selected carnival, wa
ter and field sports and every other
known device for the entertainment
of the city's guests will be included
in the completed program.
rs the woman's auxiliary figures,
and quite properly to large extent
in the plans for Community DAY,
the battle fleet will occupy, fgurativc-
ly, the center Of the stage on peace
Day, as the army and navy parade
will be the hub Of the program on
Navy Day" and as the House of Gov
crnors will be in prominence on the
day devoted to discussion of mat
tcrs of Foreign Trade. On the
"South's Day, the final and big day
of the convention, the Southern Cotton
Congress and the big conference on
the important subject of immigration
will hold full sway.
The wide scope of the subjects to
be discussed: Peace, Education, Ma
tional Defense, Public Health, Public
Efficiency, Social Conditions, Drainage,
Rivers and Harbors, Foreign Trade,
Merchant Marine, Cotton, Rural Cred
it, Marketing, Good Roads and Agri-
cultural Colonization, lends to the CO.
operation of the several organizations
named, significant part in the pro-
gram.
Besides the unusual opportunity Of
seeing the Atlantic battleship fleet as
semblcd in South Carolina waters and
the opportunity Of enjoying almost cv-
cry variety Of amusement, among half
hundred speakers there is most
surely at least one whom every man
and woman in the State would par
ticularly like to hear.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 WILL RETURN TO
 WASHINGTON SOON
Mexican Situation Claims Attention. Goes to Assistance of Over
 turned Motorists

Cornish. N H.. August 9.-President Wilson tonight spent several hours on official business received from Wash ington. He worked in his study until late hour, the Mexican situation claiming his chief attention. He also was in communication with Secretary of State Lansing and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
 The President today went to the as- sistance of three motorists whose ma chine had overturned on them. He was motoring with Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, his daughter. and Dr. Cary T. Grayson, when on rounding a curve another ma- chine was discovered overturned at the bottom of an embankment. MT. Wilson and Dr. Grayson found Miss b. A. Swasey Mrs. Emma Hathaway and c. c. Judd, all of Norwich, Vt, under meath, and the President helped pull them out. They were badly bruised but not seriously hurt
 Those in the overturned automobile did not recognize the President.
 President Wilson is planning to re- turn to Washington within the next few days.

Grandfather Not Guilty

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I don't know how in the world it ever got out on grandfather that he was the man who bit that apple and by said biting brought the curse of sin and con- demnation and misery upon all humanity which we have endured for the past 5000 years.
 It might have been that all the cir cumstances in the premises pointed di- rectly to his guilt. and he having no witnesses except his wife, who, under the law, could not testify in his behalf, and being hopelessly unable to prove an alibi, was wrongfully convicted of biting a little apple which seems to have con tained enough acid to tinge and embitter the lives of millions upon millions of his otherwise innocent descendants dur ing the past 60 centuries. Or 1t might have been the shrewd work of some Bir- mingham detective who figuered that be- cause grandfather was the only man he could find who had good teeth he must have been the apple bitter.
 But l have never been convinced that grandfather was really the guilty party. for I have always held him entirely above doing such trick. And notwith- standing his being held guilty for 5000

At the Orpheum

Knobs O Tennessee" the heart inter- est melodrama, a story of the mountain life of Tennessee, opened for a week s play at the Orpheum theatre last night. and was well received by large and ap- preciative audience.
 w. R. Chagnon, as Joe Preston, a young mountaineer, was the leading char acter and displayed unusual ability as a dramatic actor, and just as well did Mana Leigh as Madaline Bailey, a tour ist uphold her part throughout the play.
 The story in Knobs O Tennessee tells of fine family of mountaineer people living peacefully and happily. The elder son marries a daughter of a rich man, needless of all objections by the father. Then the story goes on with the father endeavoring by persuasion and force to have his daughter divorce her husband and marry his choice, even going so far as to embroil the husband in serious trouble. However, the wife remains faithful to her husband and finally the father penitent. all comes out for the best.
 The Orpheum players are an evenly balanced company of capable people and the play this week, Knobs O. Tennes- see" proves not to be by any means far fetched, but filled with tense interest and action in each of the five acts.
 According to the programme the Or pheum players will present Knobs O Tennessee" Tuesday, Thursday and Sat urday matinees at 2:30 o'clock and every night this week at S:30 o'clock. Popular prices are charged and seats reserved in advance.

MILITIA PREPARING
 FOR ENCAMPMENT Fourth Regiment Coming to Birmingham and Second
 Going to Montgomery

Local infantry military companies have been notified to begin preparations for the annual encampment and each com pany commander has begun his plans for the event. Birmingham has been selected as the place for the encampment of the Fourth Infantry regiment. commanded by Col. E. H. Graves and the date set for the week commencing August 22 Com- pany K, under command of Capt. J. D. Carlisle of Birmingham, and Company D. under command of Capt Lacy Edmund son of Bessemer, are the local companies belonging to the Fourth regiment
 The other two local companies. B and c. of the Second infantry regiment, com manded by Capt. J. T. Evans and Cap tain Wingo will join their regiment at Montgomery where they will go into en- campment the week commencing August 29 At each camp war maneuvers and rifle practice will be the features.
 For sometime it was doubtful whether the Alabama National Guard would go into encampment this year owing to the appropriation from the federal govern menti being withheld owing to an alleged shortage of about $S0,00O worth of equip ment. Since this order came from the war department commanding officers of the several regiments have "got busy and about s20,ooo worth of property has been recovered. Under this showing the war department has released a sufficient amount of the appropriation to carry out the annual encampments, and 1t is thought that by next year the larger part of the missing property will have been recovered or properly accounted for and the entire appropriation reinstated.
