the executive board. Of course that will not succeed. Berger is as saEe on the executive board as d Tam many boss is safe in charge of his position.
 But why should he be fired out for that reason anyway? A man can certainly believe in the socialist form of society and in the present advocate some sort of national pro- lection, whether right or wrong. It is a poor thing to be proclaiming free speech and to be inclined to officially decapitate man for being at outs with a minority or majority on some question.
 Any time any party or association of persons insist upon a general conformity of belief in certain defi- mite principles, and penalizes any at tempt to maintain a different view, it shows that those who would pen alize that belief are none too sure of it themselves.

THERE'S A REASON.

STORM IN A TEAPOT.

Even radical organizations are inclined to dogmatize and the per son who will not conform has to get out. Thus Victor Berger was subjected to recall in the socialist party because he expounded his views on the preparationist ques- tion. He held that citizens army, something more radical and demo
 cratic than the Swiss system, should be adopted. He believed that such should have the support of the SOC ialist party. Because this idea seemed at outs with unadiulterated radicalism of the socialist party, recall was started to pull him off

NILITARISM BY MAIL.

The Industrial Worker has re- ceived circular from a house that has established itself in New Jer-. sey for the purpose of giving mili- tary instruction by mail. A cores pondence school of militarism is quite an idea. Now if the various nations could be persuaded to war by mail, this thing would be dead easy.

WILSON'S POLICY.

President Wilson has had the in- structive experience at any rate ot observing more strikes in the indus trial world while he has been in of- fee, probably than ever fell to the lot of United States President be- fore. And these labor troubles loomed up more threateningly and upon a larger scale than ever be- fore.
 Now it is announced that he will strive to have some sort of legisla- tion passed to prevent strikes.
 That of course is possible. Back of such legislation will be the courts and the military forces of the na- tion, and they can for time al least suppress any such open mani festations of economic discontent as are strikes. We say for a time, but eventually, the strikes will begin again and the law will be defed. It is no use legislating upon ef- fleets. If there is a constantly re- curing cause for certain condi- tion in society, common sense sug- gests that that cause be handled first of all. Any doctor may re- move certain symptoms of serious disease, while the disease all the while thrives amazingly within the victims body. Such a treatment would be foolish.
 Yet that is precisely what Presi- dent Wilson suggests.
 The various methods tried in other countries to prevent strikes have all of them been abject fail ures. They did temporarily secure industrial peace, but they did not secure permanent condition of peace. To use Hughes phrase, they were poor stabilizers of society. On the contrary they led in almost all countries to an extensive agitation open or covert which still continues and which leaves those who have to endure it worse off and things generally more chaotic than ever.
 There is no question that the common enough viewpoint on in dustrial questions today is the capi- talist viewpoint Outside the wage workers and even among many Of them that view prevails and is ac- cepted.
 This view holds that the employ CTS interest is all that is worth con- sidering. That society was made for industry and that industry was not made to be the hand maid of socie- ty. It holds that industry must be organized in such a way that the flow of profits must be uninterrupt- ed and steady. It holds that the highest function of government is to assist industrial expansion and to aid it in it's development. It holds that only those things and those policies are efficient which aid in such development and expansion and promote the constancy of pro- fits and dividends. fsl
 Hence, reasoning thus, strikes are a social evil of the worst type. The

Legislative pork may be defined as an appropriation for any pur- pose, useful or ornamental, outside an army and navy appropriation. Army and navy appropriations are never pork, however the money is spent.

 So steel common moved to new high record of 97i2. The shares of the railroads already wrecked by an eicht.hour day advanced all along the line. The brokers were unable tu take care of the business of peo- pie who wanted to invest money in the cataclysm of industry.

FOR MIR. HUGHES.

Apologizing for MT. Hughes eva. sion of all the vital issues of the campaign, the Outlook says:
 Those who are asking MT.
 Hughes 10 specify exactly what
 he would have done had he
 been in command at the crucial
 times during the past four years
 are demanding something more
 than any human being can prop
 erly answer
 In other words, it is easy to criti else, but hard to construct, so con structiye policies should not be eX pected from an opposition candi date IL requires no ability to say the President has been wrong, but it requires sound statesmanship to say why he was wrong and what ought to have been done, so it is improper to ask for a bill of par ticulars
 We can conceive of no lower stan dard of political intelligence than that which the Outlook presents. If il means anything, it means that the logical successor of any Presi dent is the man who can make the most noise in assailing that Presi dents policies.

REX BEACH'S FORMER WIFE
 IN JAIL HERE
ALASKAN WIFE OF FAMOUS WRITER IS SERVING TERM
 FOR VAGRANCY.

She is the victim Of the ways of the white people she says. when talking about her troubles. She is q drunkard and knows it; is guilty of the crime for which she is being punished, according to her state ment, but she lays it all at the white mans door. tying that white mans "hootch" has been her down fall. She is an Indian woman named Annie Lyons, and Is serving d term for vagrancy in the federal jail here, having been committed from Panama. But the most interesting part of her story is that she claims to have once been the wife of Rex Beach, the now world famous novelist.
 And that is this Indian woman's claim to notOriety. For she has learned that the man with whom she lived as a wife in the early days of Rampant has now become famous. and she has also learned that on ac- N'uIli ol lltH ldiIlt, SIIt, lpo, lS d ld- nous character to the tourists who now visit Alaska annually. It has therefore been her custom during the past two years to pose for snap shots taken by curiosity seeking summer visitors to interior Alaska at four bits each. That is, she charg- es each tourist 50 cents for the privilege of "snapping" her.
 In this manner the woman has eked out a living at Panama during the summer months for the past two years. She depends altogether on somebody else to take care of her during the winter, caring not for the coming of the cold days, as she spends her summers earn ing to gratiiy her appetite for li- quor, undoubtedly furnished by some interruptions white man,
 Last winter she was convicted of vagrancy al Panama and sent here to serve out her term In this manner she was kept throughout the winter, and was also prevented from getting liquor. This year the sentence imposed was l25 days, The former wife of Rex Beach is there i fore practically certain that she will not want this winter, although she hates the thought of languishing in jail, and in her more pensiye mo ments planes the white man and association with him, for all of her troubles.
 There is but little doubt but that the woman's story that she formerly lived with Rex Beach is true. For it is corroborated by residents of vari- ous lower river points who have known her for years

THE COST OF PREPAREDNESS

When the country urged upon Con national defense it turned it's back on economy. When it declared for preparedness, it disOwned the de sire for retrenchment It decided in favor of policy which rendered absurd the plea that the expenses of the government be reduced In obedience to the popular demands, the United States is now committed to measures costly for the present the consequences, both in larger ap- propriations and more taxes.
 Republicans, in search of cam paign issue, may cry out as loudly as they please about 'an era of unparalleled extravagance They will only convict themselves and their party of hypocrisy They clamored for even greater eXpendi- lures for the national defense at this IIlIlt llldIl d I)tIIloCi dllC COHSItSS has been willing to approve. But unless they repudiate preparedness they cannot in honesty make parti- san use of the charges of extrava- gance.
 For the national defense and for pensions the United States govern ment next year will spend approxi- mately $800,000,000, more than it's total ordinary receipts last year, excluding the postal service. New taxes are an inevitable part of the policy of preparedness. To provide for the increase in the strength of the army, for the new building pro- gramme of the navy and for ade- quate extension of the coast de lenses will require many millions of dollars. If appropriations for these purposes are wasteful and ex- travagant, then preparedness spells waste and extravaganza. It cannot be secured on any other terms than the outlay of huge sums which a few years ago would have appeared appalling.

Repairs Being Mabe
 On Ester rail

F. C. Irons, foreman of the Al aska road commission, is leaving within a few days with crew of men to do some extensive repair work on the trail to Ester creek. The work will consist chiefly of corduroying some very bad parts of the trail. The allotment is a spe- cial one made by Col. w. P Rich ardson, head of the road commission, when he was here, at the instiga- tion of the Fairbanks Automobile club.
 R. J. Sommers, local superinten- dent of the Alaska Road commis- sion, says that most of the work will be done across the stretch known as the peat bog" That place on the Ester trail has always been bad one, but it is expected that it will be put in good condi- tion this time.

 "WHITEHORSE, Sept. 22.-Regard- ing the freight for Fairbanks via the upper river route by Skagway and Whitehorse, would say that no freight remains at Skagway or Whitehorse There are 200 tons of freight at Dawson, of which 130 tons is the bridge for the Road Com mission at Fairbanks. The steamer Alaska, leaving Dawson Monday next, makes a complete cleanup of every pound of freight for Fairbanks.
 On the lower river route, the steamer Sarah left St. Michael last Wednesday, Sept, goth, and has one barge for Fairbanks, and made a complete cleanup of freight at that end.
 We propose to deliver every pound of Fairbanks freight in good time before the freeZeup.
 So far as the White Pass & Yu- kon Route knows, there is no Fair banks freight left on the docks in Seattle.

GASOLINE DOPE

Al Squier is the latest Fairbanks automobilist to embark in the over the-trail automobile passenger busi- ness He left town on Saturday are going Outside His local agent is R NJ (WaterfronD Brown, whom everybody knows and who has all outdoors as his office In other words, MT Brown is now a curb stone automobile passenger agent, as well as d curbstone broker and col iector And that business Is very remunerative--in New York.
 Squier has a big Packard seven passenger touring car. He is an experienced chauffeur and has made several trips to the coast with auto he is up against, but expects to ex- perienCe no trouble in making a round trip between Fairbanks and Chitina every eight days. He is now advertised to leave again on Sunday, October l.
 The entrance into the trail auto mobile business of R. A. Squier makes five outfits operating ma chimes between Fairbanks and the coast. It is understood, however, that the Valdez automobile concern which is carrying the mails will shortly pull their automobiles off the run, on account of the fact that their mail contract will expire on the first of the month. Other than the two outfits above named the lines being operated are the Sheldon line, the Frame line and the Gibson line
 Bobby Sheldon used three automo- piles in transporting the marshall s party which left Fairbanks Friday morning. He was at the wheel of one of the machines himself, while the others were driven by new chauffeur named Williams and Tom Blakely, of the Ross creek line. A Sheldon automobile driven by Scanlon is due to reach here to- night or tomorrow morning.
 There is great disappointment in some quarters over the failure of Jimmy Barracks new-fangled road ster to arrive here. Jimmy ordered the machine early in the summer, but owing to the fact that it was a special order and required the as sembling of parts from different factories, in order that the kind and class of machine Jimmy wanted could be gathered together, it could not be shipped in time to get here this fall. It will, however, be brought in next spring, and then maybe somebody will get a chance to take ride or -? The machine is supposed to be of very light con struction. with wire spoked wheels supporting a made-over Ford chassis.

 DEMOCRACY
GRiGSBY IS HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE IN ATTACKS
 ON HIS OPPONENTS.

George E. Grigsby. the Democratic candidate for the territorial attor- neyship. is undoubtedly the "whrl- ing deryiSh" of Democracy, if re ports from the coast can be be lieved. For in his campaign speech es he is attacking practically every ticket. His chief attacks, of course, are confined chiefly to his own op- ponents. John II. Cobb. the lnde- pendent candidate. and George w. Schofield the Republican candidate, but Delegate Wickersham also comes in for his part of the ridicule at the hands of the would-be territorial attorney general.
 MT. Grigsby spoke at AnChora ge last Thursday night. And The Citi- zen has received two accounts of his talk-one from Fred A. Martin, formerly Democratic committeeman from this division, but now promi- nent in coast political circles, and the other from the Forty-Ninth Star. the weekly publication of John w. Frame. at Anchorage, the editor of which is an enthusiastic supporter of Delegate Wickersham. The wires, giving the diversified views of the senders in regard to the political situation at Anchorage, are as fol lows:

 During his speech MT. Grigsby un- loaded broadsides of argument and ridicule on Wickersham. And he backed his statements by record proof, making startling disclosures from congressional records, demon strating Wickersham's insincerity and unfitness for office. He also disposed of the cases of his oppon- ents in the race, George w. Scho- field and John H. Cobb and did not spare the Anchorage Times nor the Forty Ninth Star the two To- cal newspapers, who are supporting Delegate Wickersham. His remarks were warmly applauded, and after the meeting hundreds of people pressed forward to get the Sulzer buttons, which were handed out by the committee. Sulzer will undoubt- edly carry this district overwhelm- ingly.
