HE GETS RESULTS

The probe started by the Inter state Commerce Commission againsj the rail and wafer cLrriers serving Alaska, is Q measure that the star mas advocated for many moons. The peoplG ot Alaska have endured the extOrtioLs of these carriers until patience has celsed to be a virtue That old homely adage, that ''li you give a calf enough rope it will hang itsslf' applies to these stelm- ship companies with as much force as Il ever did to saloon men and uance hall proprietors. Every ia Yur granted them was soon con sidered an "inalenable right" that it required "due process of law to take away from them.
 The people have no oneparucu- Iarly. other than Delegate Wicker sham, to thank for whatever good may be derived from this probing L the carrier corporations He has been working on this proposition to, the last two years and We opine that be will diVulge an 'insidious conspiracy that will show the ut ter contempt that the consplratOrs have for any one. other than them selves and their henchmen in Al aska towns.
 If the government places ships on this Alaska run and virtually confiscates the company's holdings in the different ports of Alaska the will fare no worse than saloon men who atused privileges granted then No one need worry about Jim Wick ersham being Johnnie at the rat hole" during this investigation. He Is worth his wgeiht in gold to the people CT Alaska just at this time But whats his politics asks some full Territorial Democrat?" Don't know. The people oi Alaska are like old Abe Lincoln when they complained "s General Grant and alleged that be was & drunkard' Abe answered them by requesting thar they ascertain what kind ot whiskey Grant drankas he wished to supply every general in the ar my with the same brand If the autl-Wickersham politicians, largely federal officials, will only tell the people of Alaska what party Wick ersham belongs to they will all wet the button.
 Its RESULTS that the people of Alaska want and Wickersham gets results..-49th Star.

Ex-Soldiers Chafe For Old Routine
 of the Army Life

Bridgeport is averaging six enlist ments for army service a week, ac- cording to recruiting officers at the To- cal government station. The major ity of men acceptable for service are mostly men who have served previous ly in the ranks and lately have been in the employ of the Remington Arms & Ammunition Company and the Rem ington U, M. c. Company of this city.
 Though it has been known that the guards of both companies have been greatly reduced by reason of new eco- homie system, all these men have been offered inside work.
 Enlistment officers say that men once habituated to good physical ex- ercise cannot comfortably remain in- doors and almost without exception the lack of exercise and desire for work in the open has actuated the enlist mentS,

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

Among the big costs of running a political campaign nowadays is the political advertising bill. One some- times hears this spoken of as an abuse, a needless tax on candidates and parties. Yet no method of con ducting a campaign was ever one tenth so efficient.
 A political rally costs good deal of money. Yet the audience consists mostly of supporters of the party that changed, because opponents are not present. It is expensive for results attained.
 There is little politics in news paper subscription list or newsstand sales. People of all parties read the appeals and arguments of candidates and committees. when inserted as ad- vertising. A moderate sized adver- tisement would not cost nearly as much as holding a rally, yet it would reach many more doubtful or oppos. ing voters.
 It is not enough nowadays to open a public hall and set speakers going. A lot of printers ink must be used in any case for posters. Unless a brass band Is hired to attract attention and remind people of the event, there will be no crowd. The whole thing is a and costly method of secur- ing small result.
 Of course to conduct thoroughly a campaign of newspaper advertising costs good deal of money. There is too much of a disposition to assess this cost on candidates. When po- litical parties behave decently and show some patriotism and common sense,. they find plenty of enthusiastic supporters who will contribute to help their ideas prevail. In this way the expense of campaigns of news paper education can easily be met. The unfortunate tendency to require candidates to provide a ''bar'r' of their own is one of the evls of our times, which this newspaper will dis cuss in another article.
