not to connect any additional appara-

PLATFORM COP Means Good Government

Tho following Is the platform ad- ipted by the convention:
 We believe that the Territory of Alaska Is entitled to more extended powers and pledge our support to statehood for the whole or part of territory
 We believe in the principle of pro tec:!on for American industries and American BOrkingmen, in contra YeatioR to the Democratic belief in a tariff for revenue alon. We de maud that the staRdGrd of living of the American masses be raised in stead of lowered by. being brought into competition with living condt- tioas and pauper labor foreign countries.
 For Merchant Marine
 As a part Of the protective syB- tenn, we urge the immediate up- building by proper Legislation of A merchant marine. which shall consist of vessels built by Ameri- cans, owned by Americans, manned by Americans, carrying American eargoes, under protection of the American flag, to every foreign port; independent production can Lo' exist with dependent trausDor- ta;io9.
 That one Of the most vital needs rk Alaska Is tho construction of the railroads, rraIis and bridges throughout the TerriOtry to permit the development of regions of rich resources now inaccessible, ex- c,ut at enormous expense, and in order 10 promote the construction of these great arteries of commerce we favor financial aid by the Fed sral Go, erument of all legitimate railroad enterprises organized to build trunk lines in Alaska when ever suCh cOmpanics shall with their own capital make substantial pro gress with their projects, and we urge that all railroads so aided be governed and controlled in the fix iag oe a freight and passenger tar TIT. We urge the speedy completion ot rhe governmental railway now being constructed and favor ,ib- eral and prompt appropriations therefor.
 Preparedness Program
 We approve of national prepared acss as outlined in the platform of tue Republican party and believe this should include Alaska.
 Proper Qualifications and protec- tion of the important seaporta Of Alaska such as Juue&u, the capital; Kerchikan, Valdez, Cordova and Seward, should be made, just as is now being done in the Philippine. Hawaiian Island and the seaboards of the United States.
 Alaska Is the largest and richest territorial possession of the United States, and so situated that 1t Is open to easy attack by any hostile power, and now stands without any means of defense whatsoever. A reasonahle expenditure for purposes of protection of the chief points of entry would guarantee the saftey of the now developed resources Of Alasks such as the coal fields, gold andcopper mines and vast fish
The daily Alaskan., 1916-08-14

We believe immediate action should be taken by the legislature and the delegate to congress look ing awards the establishment of q uniform and proper school system which will permit of the construc- tiun and operation of schools throughout the entire outlying dis tricts as well as in tbe muntcipali- ties: and that further assistanCe should be given to tue construction ot high schools within the larger municipalities and in connection witu such high schools proyisio shCuld be made for additional edu- cation and finishing courses which will permit of the children of Al aska completing their educatioH witaout the necessity of going to the States, and thereby equipping themselves in such manner as to be able to enter the various indus ties in Alaska on an equal basis with the young men and women who have had tho opportunity for educa- ticn now granted in in the states
 Regulation of Fisheries
 We favor new regulations of the fl. uaries in such a manner as to protect and replenish the fish of Southe5 stern Alaska waters. We protest against the present method o' propagation of fish under the Federal control, which takes the H. cense moneys created and collect ed Ill the first judicial division and spent for the release of Red Frye, to replenish Bristol Bay and Frazer river. We favor the establishment end maintenance of at least three humpback hatcheries, from a fund created by Territorial taxation on the fishing industry in Southeastern Alaska: favor just and adequate 'aNauiCn on fish. and fisheries pro ducts 10 protect and replenish the "snerics in each division; we be- lieve that the fisheries question is one that properly belongs to the Territory of Alaska, should be regu-

We believe the children of the men and women who have come to
 Alaska to develope it's resoursos should have the same privilege and opportunity for aneducaticn IS are offered and provided in tine S"aies and other Territories under +he American flag; that no present provision has been made equal to that now provided even in the other co.Onies of the United States, such qs Hawaiian Island, Phillip pines of Porto Rico; that the pres ent enabling act does not permit the Territory to provide such education
 and tNa' under the laws enacted by the United States government the funds available are wholly made qua'e for the present demand.

We believe in the principle Of con selvatiOn, but not in the tying up of such natural resources for Iu- ture generations.

ANNUAL
TEACHERS
INSTITUTE

The Wood County Annual Teachers
institute will be held at the Wood
County Normal during the week com
mencing Monday, June II, and end :
ing Saturday, June II. Every per
son who expects to teac h in Wood
County next year will be expected to
attend this Institute. PRINCIPAL NJ.
H. Jackson will be Conductor and he
will be assisted by Misses Lillian Nc
Dermid, Agnes Breene, W. w. Clark
w. A. Sprise and Miss Mary Carol
of the Wood County Normal, Agricul-
tural and Domestic Science School
The only excuse that will be accepted
for non-attendance is an "act of Pro
vidence." Teachers are requested to
bring their exhibits for the Contests
with them at Institute.
This Institute conflicts with the first
week of the session of some of the
Normal School Summer Schools.
Where this is the case, teachers who
have planned to attend school, must
attend the Institute and enter summer
school the second week of the session
Teachers and Principals of High
Schools, and grades below the high
school, and First Class Graded Schools
will not be required to attend this III
stitute, as special Institute for these
teachers will be held later. All teach
ers who expect to teach in the Rural
Schools and in the Second Glass
Graded Schools of Wood County next
year, must attend this Institute I'M,
less an "act of Providence" prevents
them from doing so. We have
strong program prepared for Insti
tute and if any of the teachers who ex-
pect to attend this Institute do not do
SO, they will find themselves serious
ly handicapped in the work in the
County next year.
| am sure that the same co-opera-
tive response will be given to the call
to this Institute S has always been Civ.
en- on similar occasions and that our
Wood County Institute beginning June
II, and closing June II, will have a
perfect attendance.

LINE IF
MARCH FOR
EAGLES PARADE

The official route of the parade for
the big day of the Eagles convention
held here on June 20 to % has been
completed.
The big parade will be held on
Thursday, June % and the line of
March will be as follows:
Right resting on First street, the
parade will start from the Library
building up First street to Vine, across
The river, up Grand Avenue to C. NJ.
& st. Paul station, south on Seventh
Avenue, east on Beecher to First Az
enue north on First Avenue to Grand
Avenue, cross bridge north on Vine to
Second and north on Second to East
Side Market square where the parade
will disband.
In mentioning the directions in the
foregoing, the generally accepted
terms are used, example north on Sc
cond, means toward the court house,
the actual direction is northeast.
Merchants Asked to Decorate
The local Aerie of Eagles requests
that the merchants and homes along
the line of march decorate their build
ings as much as possible and show
their appreciation of the efforts made
by the local lodge in getting this big
state convention to come to Grand
Rapids.
Another thing that would help make
the town look alive is to have the Win
dows Of the business houses specially
trimmed for the occasion and to leave
the show window lights burning dur
ing the evenings that the convention
is here. This will add much to the i'm
preston that will be made upon the
visitors.
The Eagles and the citizens gener-
ally want the visitors who attend this
big convention to go to their homes
saying that this was the best conven-
ton ever held in the state of Wis
consin by the Eagles and that Grand
Rapids is the livest small city in the
Badger state.
The advertising the city is to ge5
out of the Eagles convention is strict
ly up to the citizens of this city. If
they do their part and show interest
the convention, the city will get
some valuable advertising, if they lie
down and don't show interest, the ad-
yertising will be of the other sort.
