IS WICkERSHAM'S SUCCESS.

The ia that Fairbanks is to have an experimental mining station Tn connection with the government farm here is undoubtedly due to the efforts of Delegate to Con gress from Alaska James Wicker sham For the new experimental station is indirectly an outcome of the delegates attempt 10 get an agricultural college and school of mines established here And Secretary of the Interior Lanes de cision to establish the mining eX
 perimental station is undoubtedly the forerunner of the establishment of the college, the corner stone of which was laid little over a year ago out near the government farm.

SUBSIDIZED PRESS.

Substituting the press is a vicious practice which should be froWned upon not only by newspaper men, but by readers.
 Self respecting newspaper men Will not allow themselves to be subsi- dized no more than self respecting voter will allow himself to be bribed.
 The editor who has certain politi- cal beliefs and accepts money from the party in which he believes for bona fide advertising cannot be ac- cused of being subsidized if he quotes the same rate for adVertis- ing to his political opponents, re serving the right to maintain his editorial policy according to his own dictates. In fact, subsidizing a pa per does not consist of buying it's advertising space.
 But the paper which accepts money to color it's editorials and news, or to reprint items from oth- CT publications as bona fide exchange matter, is-wel, it behooves the advertiser and reader of that paper to think over the question of wheth- CT or not he cares to support a bribe taker
 Such papers will print false news about mining schemes for a price i; suppress news-for a consideration, and do most of the other things to which bribe takers stoop.
 The Post is referring in this edi- toral to those papers in Alaska which accepted money, small pif, fling amounts at that, to reprint ar ticles concerning the possibility of prohibition in Alaska. So far as the evil results from this kind of bribery are concerned, it doesn't make any difference which side of the fence these articles take so no reference is made to it.-Seward Post

Ray from Delegate to Congress from Alaska James Wickersham. Sec retary of the Interior Franklin k.

THE DEMOCRACY OF 1916.

The Democratic party elected i,S candidate for President in 1884, 1892 and 1912.
 But in each of these campaigns opponent Republican vitality in 1884 had not yet ral jed from the disastrous quarrel caused by Senator Conkling It was said that MT. Conkling waving hls hand from a window at great Democratic pa rade in New York, had been as pc tent in defeating MT. Blaine as Dr. Burchard's three R's. In 1892 Mir. Harrison Quarreled with MT. Blaine, and in 1912 Mir Roosevelt with MT, Taft
 It might be inferred that the Demo- cratic party is a hopeless minority party and can only win when Re publicanism is split. But exactly greater force to the Republican party The Republicans won in 1896, 1900, 1904 and 1908 But in each of these years Democratic effort was neutral ized by division, irreconcilable coun- sel, refusal to heed appeals for party regularity and support of the ticket.
 This year, for the first time since 1888, when Harrison was elected over Cleveland, substantial unity is found in both parties, with all important leaders and elements according sup port to each who might naturally be expected to accord support.
 That is to say, for the first time in 2S years there is a chance for a measuring of Democratic and Re publican strength, in a square, up anddown fight. Not even a flank ing movement resembling those by Patrons of Industry or Populists in former years can be discerned.
 Democracy, united as it has not been in more than 20 years, enters this fight with the advantage of be- ing already in power. From the practical standpoint. this is of i'm

UNKEpT PROMISES

In the light of very recent events u would appear to most people that discretion was the better part of yalor and the man who cares for his reputation and his liberty would not let the grass grow under his feet in an endeavor to evade the pitfall which was the cause ot at least two men going over the read for term of years IS the re, suit of the last court session held In Fairbanks.
 But such seems not to be the c@se. Some people accept warn, ing. while others heed it not, and ii rumors in circulation are true, and there is every reason to believe that they are. at least two men Of the community have paid no atten tion to the warning and are entitled to receive the same allotment Ot punishment administered to others.
 A promise was made to the people of this district that the direct causes of the late trouble would be re- moved just as soon as funds could be obtained but evidently there were prior promises 10 the girls them. elves. for they are still in the community and practicing their wiles upon weak humanity with varying success As time goes on and the memory of late happenings is dimmed in the minds of the people there win b. more victims prepared for the next grand jury and the fail name of Fairbanks will again be dragged in the mire of unfavorable notorety.
 The facts referred to in this arti cle have been laid before a civic body of this city. and have also been called to the attention of the district attorneys office. Time enough has elapsed for the head official of that office to at least is sue a warning to the one particu lar man in question or see that his wards are restrained from entering mens cabins at all hours of the night but nothing has been done so far as indications would show.
 The residents of lower SeconC avenue are very indignant at the inactivity of the officials, first, 1T not carrying out their promise to remove the Jail bait from the community and second, in allowins these nightly occurrences after they have been notified Of their existence
 It would appear, and many are O. the belief, that the officials car' nothing more for the actions of these babies" since they "got the ones they wanted" last term of court.

AUTOMOBILE NEWS

Mike Stepovich. Peter Nachon and George W. Seay were outbound pas sengers for the coast on the trail mail automobile leaving town on i Wednesday.
 Grover Frame, the big trail auto mobile man, left here Friday after noon for Chitina with three passen- gers. They were N. P. Nelson, Jerry McCarty and Miss Dixie | Fowler He expects to meet his brother, who is coming this way with passengers from Chitina. on the trail, and the two will exchange loads. Frames present intention is to leave again for Chitina about next Wednesday.
 Passengers arriving in Fairbanks on one of the last boats from the upper river report having seen a very handsome automobile on the dock at Dawson consigned to Mrs. Fred Bleecker Fairbanks, Alaska.
 A report received in Fairbanks is to the effect that big Cadillac touring car, the owner of which IS unknown, broke down near the Soul- dough roadhouse when making the trip over the trail And owing to the fact that no parts for the ma chine are obtainable at CordoVa, it was necessary for the owner of the machine to telegraph to Seattle fer the broken parts before being able to make repairs
 There is now famine of repair parts for Dodge motor cars ill Fair banks. The N c. company, the agents for the car, however, are doing everything possible to help out the owners of Dodges until the repair parts, which have been tele- graphed for, arrive here from the Outside. It is expected that they will be in on one of the next boats.
 The company still has one Dodge car left here, runabout. And to show what lengths are being gone to by them in an effort to secure the necessary repair parts, they have knocked down the car and are using the parts for other DOdges. The bearings used by Grover Frame on his last trip out were out of the Dodge runabout still in stock at the N. c. store. and other cars are also using parts which have been taken from it. After the repair parts arrive, of course, the runabout will be set up again.
 The Jacob Samuelson Dodge, brought in here several days ago from Richardson, is still in the garage waiting for the new repair parts to arrive here.

SON IN SALINAS CITY HALL

transient from New Harmony, Ind,
