SANTA CLAUS WARNED
AGAINST SOME STORIES
Health Officer Woodward Afraid he
Will Endanger the Lives of
His Little Friends.

Santa Claus may prove more of an
dren he is planning to visit week after
next unless he eliminates toy horns,
whistles and similar articles from the
gifts he proposes to distribute.
This is the opinion of DR.. William C.
Woodward, health officer of the Dis
trict, because the toys in question may
be the means of distributing germs in
wholesale quantities And grown-ups
as well as children who visit the toy
stores ands test out horns and other
musical instruments prior to purchase
are warned of the danger they run of
contracting disease.
Dealers in toys who desire to con-
tribute their part toward maintaining
the good health of the children for
whom their wares are intended will do
we'll to prevent customers from test
ing by actual use. before purchase,
such toys as are intended for intro
duction into the mouth, such as horns.
whistles and balloons that have to- be
inflated by being blown up" said DR..
Woodward.
''The safest rule is not to purchase
toys of the class described above, since
even if they are not contaminated be-
fore purchase they are liable to be the
medium upon which infection is passed
from one child to another. If. however
they must be purchased it is the part
of wisdom to take the chances on get
ting bad article now and then rather
than to take the chances on carrying
home infection on an otherwise good
article"

National Red Cross Society.
OFFICERS ARE ELECTED

The vision of an auburn haired young
nurse sitting on the battlefield and
holding the head of brave soldier in

cause trouble in the next war the

Change in Scheme of Nursing.

The old individualistic conception of
nursing in war time. immortalized in
the popular idea of the fair young
nurse wandering around on the battle
field whittier the spirit led her. must
give place to the scheme of nursing CO.
operation under the direction of the
army sofficials such as is the almost
realized dream of the Red Cross, Col
kean told his hearers.
The base hospitals of past wars
were things gotten together hastily,
Col kean said. But in the future he
pointed out. it is the hope of the Red
Cross that the mobilization of the en-
tire medical resources of the country
may be SO complete that in time of
war the base hospitals of the country
win be ready at the beginning of the
conflict.
The speaker outlined the plan of the
department of military relief. through
which civil hospitals of the land will
be and are now being organized to
take care of 100000 soldiers in time
OF war. The regular medical staffs
of theses hospitals. comprising the
largest institutions in the land. will
then be available for ,he use of the
army.

vided we get their support. were the Prospector forced out of the field here, the Star would never be able to give Valdez a paper. Its editor has busted some of the best plants in the Territory, with a far better field than Valdez presents. Were we to pull out of Valdez on account of the incessant fight on our plant, what would the town do for a paper? Do you think any other newspaper man with money or business acumen would be willing to come into place and invest where he was sure of the illwill of large portion of the population? We know he would not.
 If the city printing must be di- vided the city should pay the regular rate, as there then would be no com petition, and the city should certainly be willing to pay as much for its work as is charged private citizen of the town.
 Ten cents per line is not exorbi- that. It is the price charged all thru the States for the same work, and the price in Alas ska should really be double.
 With this explanation of the Stars usual Saturday eruption, we leave it to our readers and the city council.
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-05-01

We would like to state for the benefit of the proprietor and editor of the Star that when we stated we were in favor of getting together we did not mean that we were willing to combine our plants, nor are we will ing to accept either of the gentle men as bedfellows. Our object was to stop the constant stream of vitu- peration against citizens and corpora tions. We are sorry that our feeble efforts were misunderstood, and that the aforesaid gentlemen will still be compelled to crawl in with the dog or bunk alone. We will not for a minute entertain an idea of matri- mony from these amorous benedicts In fact, we think their flirtatious ad- vances highly improper.

\ CAUSE FOR REJOICING.

Today, after a week of idleness, or rather after week devoted to an ef- fort to adjust the difference between the men and the Commission, the men on the new government railroad have returned work, and from the pres ent indications no further trouble is to be expected.
 Throughout Alaska, regardless of the distance from the scene, the an- nouncement that the strike is over and the work is again in progress. will be hailed with rejoicing. The strike, while of the most peaceable character, and displaying marked degree of self-restraint on both sides, was nevertheless fraught with dire settled for two or three months the construction of the road would prob ably have never continued as gov ernment owned and operated project The strike would have been eagerly seized upon by the opponents of gov ernment ownership, and they are powerful, to be used as weapon in congress to prevent further appro- priations for the road.
 With this weapon snatched from their hands the plans laid for the seasons work, and with every indica- tion that the further appropriations needed for the summers work will be forthcoming, the construction of the road, with all that it will mean to the development of the country, is assured. regardless of the political party that may take up the reins of government next March. By that time the road will have reached such a stage that no choice will remain but to complete it.
 The situation appeared serious enough for time to make the peace full settlement of the wage question and all it involved matter for every Alaskan to rejoice at.

WHY WE ARE AGAINST WICK

The Prospector is opposed to James Wickersham as Delegate to Congress for several reasons:
 First. we are opposed to Wicker sham as Congressman for Alaska be- cause he is identified with no party and can accomplish no good in Con- gress as an Independent.
 Secondly, we are opposed to Wick ersham because he poses as a Repub- lican in Washington and as an 1nde- pendent in Alaska.
 Thirdly, we are opposed to Wicker sham because he is not sincere in his dealings with the people. He talks publicly for Alaska and privately for Wickersham. He has patted the gov ernment commissions in Alaska on the back and promised them his help in Congress, while privately he has backed upscrupulous agitators in starting papers in both Valdez and Anchorage to hamper the commits sions and belittle their work. He has persistently fought both the Road Commission and Engineering Con- mission in private and thus hindered appropriations and efficient service.
 Fourthly. we are opposed to Judge Wickersham as Delegate to repre- sent Alaska because he has absolutely no influence ill Congress, other Con- gressman withdrawing from him on account of his straddling proclivities instead of coming out squarely on the issues of the day.
 Fifthly, we are opposed to Wicker sham because of the evil effects his previous candidates have had upon the Territory He has torn all par ties asunder and caused endless strife in nearly every city in Alaska. His efforts have always been to disorgan- ize and tear down.
 For these reasons we are against James Wickersham as Alaska's repre- sentative in the coming congress. As a private citizen we have no word to say against him, but as a delegate he lis lacking the many qualifications which go to make successful Con- gressman, or one from which the Ter ritory can derive any material bene- fit.
 If Wickersham desires the support of the business men of Alaska, he should be forced to come out squarely as a Democrat or Republican. By SO doing he will ally himself with one of the dominant parties and accom- plish much good for the Territory. AS an independent he can do nothing but draw his salary. With the com ing national issues he can have nc voice nor no part, and this is not for the ultimate good of Alaska. Any man who has kept up with the political game knows that the day o1 the straddler is passed. A man is gauged by his party power, and by
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-05-01

that alone. " AS an Independent he plays the game alone.
 Wickersham has never come out square and above-board on any issue before the voters of Alaska, and until he does, we can see no reason why he should expect either Democratic or Republican papers to enthuse over him, or to fill their columns with plaudits for work he has never ac- complished.

The fact that none but property nexation election is liable to put a crimp in the plans of the triumvirate who has been engineering it. It will cut out most of their vote. as the ma jority of he annexationists have no property in the city and only favor annexation for the reason that they desire to harrass those businesses on the mud-f1ats.

THE CITY PRINTING CONTRACT.

The Forty-Ninth Star is little pre- mature in its imputation that the Prospecor is trying to hog all the city printing. When the committee waited upon the owners of the Pros pector. they stated that they desired to divide the printing, and that they expected the two papers to come to some amicable agreement. We stated that we understood that it was to be a competitive bid, and had placed our bid at the low price of five cents per line accordingly; but that we would be willing to split the printing pro- vided we received the regular price for same, as we could not see the jus tice of calling for competitive bids, forcing the price down to half or less and then splitting up the contract. The committee refused to entertain the suggestion that they pay regular price for the work, and we then told them that if they were for the Star to give them all the printing; and if they were for the Prospector to give it to us. They tried to get us to agree to split the contract, but would not agree to pay regular advertising rates for their work. AS we could not see the justice in placing a competitive bid and then being forced to division we declined to enter into any agree ment with them on five-cent basis, and told them we would leave it to the council.
 Had the committee informed the Star of our proposition, just as we made it, we have no doubt that the proprietor of that paper would have been more eager yet to reach some agreement whereby the printing could be divided.
 At a five cent rate the Prospector would just break even on the work. In other words we would receive the regular labor charge for composition, with no profit added. We did the work last year, at one cent line, and lost money on it. This year we made what we considered fair and equit- able bid, at a price the city should not haggle over for one moment.
 Publicity is the main requirement in the matter of printing and we know that printing in either the Prospector or Miner would have from two to three times the publicity that it would in the Star. Dozens of families do not take the Star, while the Pros pector has nearly 400 subscribers in Valdez. It would be just as fair to compel us to place our immense plant in competition with the Stars outfit as it would to compel one of the light companies to place their plants in competition with a man with $500 light equipment, and expect to get the same results.
 The Prospector is not here for sen timent or politics. We are trying to build up a good paper and make fair profit out of our investment. Our ex- penses are very large, nearly $500 per month, all of which, or nearly all, goes back into Valdez. The Stars expenses could not exceed $125 per month. We have one of the best out fits in the Territory, and can give the people of Valdez good paper, pro-

TO HE'LL MYTH THE FLAG
 CRIES A LABOR LEADER

The words "To he'll with the Stars and Stripes" were cheered when Jas. H. Maurer, President of the Pennsyl- yania State Federation of Labor, ln- teriected them into speech at the Labor Forum in Washington Irving High School at New York city. The subject for discussion was the pro- posed State Constabulary. Maurer has written a book on the Pennsylva- nit State Constabulary, whom he last night called American Cossacks."
 At the beginning of his speech Maurer digressed from his announced subject to refer to believers in aoe- ouate preparedness for this country as "preparedness freaks" That was greeted with prolonged cheers.
 Here in this part of the country. which we might call the wild and crazy East, where you hear so much about patriotism and these great Stars and Stripes which they keep rubbing under your nose, we are con- tinually being called upon to say that we are ready to defend the country. And vet" continued Maurer, emotion pitching his voice higher and higher, land yet, while there is this great war going on here in our midst be- tween the classes. say down with the Stars and Stripes"
 l A few minutes later, when another outburst of cheers which had greeted his words had subsided, Maurer char acterized the advocates of prepared ness and the members of the capital ized press as Ia bunch of parasites who are footing our nation."
 I will never shed drop of my blood" he cried, "nor will I counsel the representatives of labor to shed their, unless I am certain that by so doing they are shedding their blood in the battles of their own class"
 Then he shouted, "To hell with the Stars and Stripes.!"
