ON THE BUSINESS PREACHER.

The recent confession Of DR.. Newell Dwight Hills
from the pulpit of the Plymouth Church. Brooklyn tina,
he erred in becoming secular is in many respects the
most important statement made from the American pulpit
in this generation and If II marks the high tide Of min
isteria lust for worldly that has been hoodina
this country for the past quarter OF century then DR.
Hills has not erred in vain.
1t must said the credit OF this noted Divine thai
his purpose in stepping out of the pulpit was to acuure
the OF rendering more capable service those
who need and deserve assistance but the pathway from
pulpit the world is ALWAYS with good Intan.

A cheerful atmosphere is import

a happy home is the brightest
spot on earth that the eye of God
looks down upon, Love and peace
in his home sends sunshine around
the man wherever he goes; disorder
and trouble there is misery every
where.

Life Insurance as Investment.

: S. C1sden OF Tulsa was the re-
cipient Of rare compliment when
his business associates OF the firm OF
J. s Cosdon x company placed 81
100000 insurance upon his life, the
insurance to be payable TO the COM
pany. Thirteen different insurance
concerns carry the amount thus placed
and the transaction has aroused much
interest throughout the country. /;
is recognized that a man Of M Cos
ems business energy, genius and eS.
ecutiye skill would be a great loss to
any enterprise with which he might
Dee connected, should death intervene.
So the Cosden interests have decided
to provide for that possible contin'
goncy. However. as Mr.. Cosdch IS
enjoying good health and is careful
ln his habits Of living. there is no
prospect Of any early realization in q
financial way. on the immense insur
ance that has been placed as an in
yestment upon his active lfe.--Oi

POLITICAL PUT |S BOILING IN
 TERRITORY

| Owing to the fact that the national convention will be held next summer, the political leaders of Alaska, Re publican and Democratic, are begin ming to muster their forces together In the ranks of the Democrats there appears to be some unrest among a few, but those in power seem to have the situation in hand. Their oppone-- ents, the Republicans, seem split up as much as ever during the past few years, and in the attempt to collect the party to it's former standing, there is a strong rivalry for the leadership. This is true in interior Alaska, and according to statements made by lead ing newspapers received from Sew ard, Valdez and Juneau, appears to be true on the coast.
 Charles Heron, who is chairman of the Republican territorial commit tee, according to the Valdez Prospec tor, recently held a conference with Valdez Republicans. He stated that he had been in communication with number of the party in other parts of the territory and they were in favor of holding the convention at Seward, during the latter part of March or early part of April. The Valdez Prospector also states that Heron is desiTous of eliminating Delegate Wickersham and Shackle- ford from control of the party, be- lieving this the only way in which the ranks of the party can be united. In the past, this paper goes on, Her ron has been a staunch supporter of Shackleford and he may continue to be unless the latter tries to saddle Wickersham upon the party.
 In Fairbanks there are many Re publicans who believe that Wicker sham should be taken back into the party, provided he proclaims himself Republican, Others think that he should be pledged to support what ever candidate the convention would nominates while still others think he should be kept out, on the ground that he would not abide by the vote of the majority of the party unless it was to his own advantage.
 Some of the Fairbanks Republicans who have fought the delegate in the past, have openly declared themselves as now being in favor of forgetting the past and getting together, even if they have to accept Wickersham as the party leader. Between now and the first of March the forces will be mobilized so that their true strength will probably be known long before the convention. - Fairbanks Times

ALASKA SCHOOLS MAKE GOOD
 SHOWING

Schools were maintained in 51 dis tricts outside of incorporated towns in the territory during the school year 1914-15. Seven new districts have been organized during the year, mak- ing a total of 3S at the beginning of the school year 1915-16. The organi- zation of a number of other districts is pending, and owing to a lack of funds three new districts already es- tablished will be without school facili- unless more funds can be secured through Congress.
 The. 31 schools maintained during the year 1914-15 employed 40 teach CTS and had an enrolment of 961. The cost of maintaining these schools was $61 426.92.

 The increase in the number of school districts outside of incorpor- ated towns is due, of course, to the increase of population and is proof of the statement that the population of Alaska is now showing a substantial gain.
