PRETENDING TO ACT FRANKLY
 FOR THE PURPOSE OF DECEIVING

SHOULD go without saying that to act frankly to act
 wisely, but if one Is to say this with real conviction he must
 also be wise enough to distinguish between the rankness which the genuine sign of free and open heart and its counterfeit form of candor the object of which is conceal what proesse to reveal and to confuse where pupors carfy If wise enough to discern much will also be wise enough to act frankly himself for the wisdom of the serpent will then be hand in hand with the of the dove The desire act frankly and the firm conviction that Ones motives in doing sincere may if this wisdom be lacking lead the belief that all apparent fanness man ner inspired by the ocency of motive and then betide the feathers of the dove
 When the conurer rolls back his sleeves prove to us the mpOsbiy of his pertrang underand tricks before our eyes, know quite well that going to be deceived for all his proestaOns and that his apparent frank ness IS part of his stock trade But it another thing togehter when this franknes cOnronts without label to identify it.

ADVOCATES AN EXPOSITION
 FOR ALASKA IN 1917
(From the Seattle Daily Times)
N INTERESTING SUGGESTION-that

A INTERESTING SUGGESTION-that Alaska have an A exposition in 1917-is being seriously advanced by
 newspapers in the eastern part of the United States
 The point made that development of the government railroad project will turn capital and population toward the NOrthland and will furnish for exposition that would be of international interest
 As publicity proposition such exposition unquestion- ably would have merit It would furnish magnet to draw tourists and homeseekers to the country and enable capital and labor to obtain brief scruni information they could not otherwise obtain except at almost prohbtve
 At the same tme the financial side of the proposition buks aarmngy The United States accustomed expostons on grand scale One that did attain proportions and sr presumed to use the names exposon would be dsappont ing and might react unfavoraby upon the territory
 It would be dstncy in advantageous for the Norhland to have fair that produced feeling of dissatisfaction be- of the ncompeness of its exhibits Yet to round ont the exhibits to the expectation of the public would call for expenditure that the country hardly could stand
 Rather than such proposition dangers as well as allurng posbitesit would that the country would benefit most through udcous advertising campaign incud ing the assembling of large and representative Alaska exhibit
 In other words why not have the exposition Amerca Why not expend the amount of much thereof
