Send East for Eggs.

Tacoma = Scarcity of local eggs,
both fresh and cold storage, has
caused dealers to send East for their
supplies, the first shipment Of eastern
eggs rolling in this week. The new
arrivals are of ordinary quality and
are quoted at 80 cents Dozen Sew
eral carloads have been ordered and
will arrive as soon as possible The
demand for eggs is reported good
Ranch eggs are unusually scarce
say dealers, and no definite market is
recognized This grade of eggs de-
mands anything between 35 and 40
cents dozen. The local cold storage
product holds steady at 28c dozen,
but the supplies are about exhausted.
However, dealers are hopeful that
change will occur in weather condi-
lions and the hens will resume theii
duties.

FRAME A DEMOCRAT?
FRAME says that President wilso

FRAME says that President Wilson is trying to disrupt the Territory by having the Organic Act repealed, and that he has been Democrat" for forty years but will vote against Will son on that account. He further states that he will give his most cherished possessions and his hearts blood to secure the election of Wickersham who is the only man who can keep the ship of state off the rocks. A man must be in a horrible state of mind who can so misconstrue the motives of the President and Secretary Lanc. They have made the Territory what it is today, and in fact, practically all there is of the Territory. Wickersham is the man who is trying to destroy the Organic Act; as a reference to the Congressional Record will show. It is astounding that a man can seek and expect to win votes with such appalling misrepresentatiOns. It is
 
 the Territory read so little of what is, occurring in Congress and take the Delegates word for his actions. The people of the Territory are going to be awakened to the fact in the near future that they'have been grossly de ceived; that conditions for which they imagine they are voting are just the reverse. and that the men they are depending upon to obtain their ideals have traded them into the hands of their enemies.
 And man with a few hours to spare could secure official information as to what the Delegate is doing. This i'm formation would come neither from Sulzer nor Wickersham. but from the records of his doings at Congress. We repeat that if any man can take the Congressional Record and believe that Wickersham is doing his best for the interests of the Territory they are in a state of auto-hypnosis. MT. Frame is not nor has he ever been Democrat. He ran as a POpu- ist in Washington, as an Independent a Progressive and an Independcnt- Progressive. but he has never madc a campaign as a nominee of the Dem ocratic party.
 To accept Frames candidacy as anything but joke would be paying the gentleman too much honor. His election would be a calamity.

SAVE. YOUR MONEY.

OUR readers should take the cleo tiOn dispatches with a great deal of reservation. Both the Democratic and Republican campaign managers ar" shouting for the merits of their re- spective candidates. and both parties are spending money like water to se- cure the election of their protege. This is right and proper. but the average voter is apt to mistake a bought en- thusiasm for political fervor. Two hundred dollars worth of red fire and one hundred paid checrers can make an otherwise staid community look like an insane ward. and there are tricks in political meetings as well as in politics. Neither manager is sure that his man has cinch; both are playing for the band wagon vote. The fact that the betting is so nearly even should convince the wise ones that the politicians are up in the air. To bet on the result of the election Gt this long range from the field of ac- tiOn is like grOping in the dark. If men who make a business of betting on such things are undecided as to the winner there is little chance for the piker. Our advice would be to keep your money in your pocket and use your surplus enthusiasm in work ing for your candidate.

ABOUT LOGICAL METHODS OF
 PROCEDURE.

The methods of many of these who are trying to work out reforms in Alaska are twenty years behind the methods of the progressive citizens of the States. Like was the case with the people of Washington and Ore gon quarter of century ago. Alas ka reformers are springing all man. Eer of questions before the necessary foundations for success have been laid.
 It was nearly 20 years ago that U'Ren of Oregon, convinced the peo- pie of the Pacific Coast that they were shooting in the air." that it would be necessary for the people to get possession of their governments before they could secure and hold re- forms. Under his leadership the vo- ters of Oregon and Washington set out to bring government to the people as a necessary condition precedent to progress. They started at the begin ming. They got registration and strict election laws making it practically im- possible to cheat the ballot box. Then they got the direct primary, the in!- tiative and referendum and recall. Then came woman suffrage, adding to the volume of the better element of the voters. Then came reforms that had been fought for as early as the '70s and laughed at for a third of a century. In the meantime, after the direct primaries and the initiative and referendum, came the public service commissions and equitable taxation laws and many other things of which those of the former generation had dreamed.
 In Alaska we have the Socialists and prohibitionists trying to inaugu- rate reforms at time when the peo- pie of the Territory have not sufficient powers of government to enforce them; when we have an impossible and unrepresentative convention sys- tenn; when we have election laws that invite fraud; when we have a repre- sentative in Congress who has stead fly worked to prevent the people of the Territory from securing control over their own government.
 Then we have people who believe

FOOL LEGISLATION.

In Kansas bill has been intrOduc- ed in the interests of pure complex ions, forbidding the use of powder, cosmetics, false hair, etc., by women under 40 years of age. In Denver a curfew law for chickens and rabbits has been introduced. In Boston leg islators are entertaining bills to tax bachelors, to abolish hay fever and to prohibit doctors and dentists from growing hair on their faces. Evident ly the fool legislator is in his glory, and has broken out like an epidemic to make the country wonder where all the fools come from.
