THAT COMBINE TON

Governor Hall, Lieutenant-Governor
Barrett, Mayor Behrman and Mr. Robert
Ewing Of the National Committee, have all
denied that there was any basis for the
statement made at Bunkie by Mr.. Ducan
Buie, charging combine as the reason for
the proposed constitutional convention.
These gentlemen are all practical pol
Iiticlans-with one or two exceptions and
we are loathe to believe that they could have
been guilty Of fathering such clumsy
scheme. The tender Fluctuations that these
gentlemen have INDUCED in towards one
another since the last campaign ought to
make it certain that no such combination
was ever contemplated or consumated
But for the sake of argument, admit
that the scheme, was to put Governor Hall
on the bench; promote Barrett to the posi-
ton of Governor. Would the people care
much? Three years ago they decided that
Hall was good judicial timber and elected
him to the supreme bench, then elected him
governor; that Barrett was good enough to
be elected Lieutenant Governor on minori-
ty ticket. At the same time Mr.. Ewing
built up reputation as master of the polit-
ical art in accomplishing, through his news
paper. the defeat Of Hon. John T. Michel
backed in his candidacy for the Governor
by powerful political organization.
1t therefore follows that either wehave
overestimated half dozen of our political
leaders or that the people have grown tickle
and are now seeking new heroes. Time
alone can tell, but in the meantime let us
keep our idols intact; watch the kickers and
prevent rough house until we get our
bearings. There remains in the state a
good sprinkling of sensible men who are
capable Of keeping any half dozen men from
turning the state upside down with such
raw schemes. Finally if it becomes neces-
sary to let our heroes down, let us do it
with tenderness and decorum. They are
all our heroes and if greatness has been too
suddenly thrust upon them it is right and
paoper that we should accept our share of
the responsibility. The leaders have mea-
sure up pretty well, agitators to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

Farmers who have threshed oats since
the recent rains say that the oats have suf-

good. Considerable anxiety has been felt
since the beginning of the rains due to the
fear that the oats would be seriously dam
aged. Other crops are reported to be in fine
condition.

A fourth of July orator said in New
Orleans recently that it would be cal
amity to leave Hon. E. H. Farrar off the
list of delegates for the convention. Mr..
Farrar would be most valuable member of
the convention but from the present political
outlook we fear thatithere is great danger
that he will be left out. In this event we
hope that the city orator has exaggerated
the distress that will follow.

While extending congratulations we want
to warn our good neighbor against the &C

application of the same rule would have run

ton. However, Shreveport is to be con-

indicated in Shreveport, but somehow we
have an idea that the vindication will at last
depend upon the question as to whether or
not the people of the parish believe that the
accused Scott and Johnson got all that was
coming to them. If the people believe that
they got less punishment than they deserved
then, the vindication will be ephemeral.

Hunter is well-known throughout Alaska, having lived in the territory for many years, and always taking an active part in politics. It is MT. Hunters first venture in the newspa- per field, but his thorough knowledge of affairs in the north, makes him a valued addition to the journalistic profession.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1915

Valdez taxable property has there's ed this year over all previous years by nearly $56,0O0 dollars, and this despite the fact that the great fire in July burned out nearly third of the taxable property on the water front. The greater part of this in- crease comes from the heavy taxes levied upon the Valdez Bank, the Val deg Dock, the Prospector outfit and the buildings located on or near the Valdez dock. While the tax is very reasonable, in most instances the val uations of properties are quite heavy. The showing on the face of it, speaks we'll for the increased wealth of the city, and the levy will be ample for all municipal needs. Had the ground all over the city banned as well, the levy would undoubtedly have reach ed the two million mark. taking the present valuations as the ratio.

The fact that thousands of young Englishmen are leaving the mother country to avoid conscription, does not speak very well for the spirit of patriotism which should be manifest ed by those young men. At this pe- riod of England's crisis the services of every man in the kingdom are in demand, and none should shirk their duty toward their king and their country. The fact that they have proved poor citizens in their own country will also prove them unwar- thy of protection in other countries. England should promptly take steps to expatriate all who desert her now, in her hour of need, and neutral countries should refuse citizenship papers to the deserters.

The fact that Canada is raising an other army of two hundred thousand men to send to the war, shows a loyal devotion to the mother country. The Canadians have suffered immensely since the beginning of the war, both in men and money. Yet they have given all they could, cheerfully and with the sad consciousness that it may mean the death of thousands of these splendid young men. As sol diers, sportsmen and comrades, they have no peer The crying shame is that such men must be sacrificed at the altar of Mars
