wIcKERsHAMs IMPOTENCE

For more than two years Juneauites have been working to secure the opportunity to vote on the question of issuing bonds money with which to build school house. The Council and School Board have resoluted and petitioned. The Legislature has joined them and memorialized The Commercial Club has pettoned Delegate wickersham has been re- quested. coaxed. begged to aid in the work. In the meantime Wckersham boosters have told how hard is to get anything from the government at Wash ington. This and that excuse have been put forth.
 But alas. for well laid plans of mice and men. etc. the Juneau City Council decided to send COun- cilman James II. King to Washington. This modest Juneau Citizen had been at the National capital a week until he secured the passage of the desired legislation through the Senae-notwithsanding that the Delegate had said in his letter to Mayor Stewart. that the program the remainder of the session had all been arranged by the Democratic caucus and that the schedule would be opened for single bin. The measure went through the Senate unanimously at the request or Senator Pttman.
 In other words. Juneau Common Councilman se- cured in week what wickersham could not get in two years-or would not try to get.
 This is fair example of what Alaskans might expect it they had a real worker at Washington in- stead or professional politician who plays the game" for personal agrandizement and to punish those who discover his monstrOus humbuggery.

IT IS SIGNIFICANT

It is significant that although Candidate Hughes has had the whole political stage for more than two weeks, with first page spotlight turned on him. he has swept from Atlantic to Pacific he has creat ed absolutely no enthusiasm. The Empires dispatches say that his reception by the people of Seattle was decidedly cool. and there was little or enthusiasm Newspaper accounts of his whole trip would indicate that his Seattle reception similar the others He has left in his wake newspaper comment that tells the story of a candidate without issue and editorial offices flooded with communications of resentment of his petty criticisms of the adminstra ton and his failure to offer alternative program
 It is also significant that while Mr. Hughes has been prosecuting the administration before the peo- ple the great President himself has been quietly and calmly dvoting his time and talent to the work of crowdng his legislative program for the people through

While Hughes continues his attacks on Wilson he is very discreet in not picking out the Presidents legislative program as a mark for his shots He seems afraid to attack being too progressive for fear of allenatng the Progressiyes, and afraid of critcizing 1t for not going far enough for fear Of alternating the regulars.

A story from Washington says Mir. Hughes pur. posely made his acceptance speech indefinite and that he will continue to deal in generalities until after the adjournment of Congress because he is afraid the Democrats would "steal his stuff by making all of his good ideas into law. We not inclined to believe that if Mir. Hughes thought he had val uable ideas which would be converted into law at once if he expressed them, he would keep silence for the sake of very doubtful political advantage.

EXPERIMENTAL FARMS FOR YUKON
Dawson News)

Dawson NeWS)
 Now that the honorable minister of the interior has visited Yukon and learned of 'her wonderful pos abilities and seen her farm products as well as her mines it is not unlikely that Yukon VIII ina nm ready Co cooperate in the establishment Of an expert mental agricultural station two in this district This matter is one that should commend itself to the gov ernment for the fact that proving of the Yukon adapted the growth Of grains and vegetables means the extension of the producing in Canada thou sand miles north of the present belt or occu patton in Canada When products of the soil can be secured locally a countrys other industries can be opened much speedily for the simple reason that of production reduced money IS Kept al home and the community has more wealth TOT tne exploitation of its riches and the reduced costs or operation brings a far larger area into workable reach When a mineral belt thus is supported by agriculture the nation gets the vast returns from the the other products of the nation Everyone shares the benefits.
 By growing grains in Yukon, the government would soon find them becoming much hardier than the same varieties are farther south. The grains thus hardened in the north could be taken farther south and there would have greater resistance against frost and thus insure much greater safety for the crops in the older provinces.
 The lands of this region, once experiments with cereals and other products are begun, no dOuOt would improve Just as 1t found in Manitoba that once lands are ploughed and turned up to the sun a few years they retain more warmth, and now the trosts that ruined the crops are seldom eN- perienced.
 Alaska is having great success with her experi- mental farms. Canada is having the same success in other parts of the Dominion. There is no reason why the vast domain in Yukon should not also be proved of agricultural worth and wealth. Yukon is the place to start the experiments in the northern belt ana now is the time to start in order to reap the earnest and longest term Of benefit. Such farms might be established in connection with the muchtalkedof homes for aged Yukon pioneers and the Indian reser vatons. The produce could so to the sustenance of the inmates of such institutions and thus reduce the present large donations in those directions. and at the same time furnish occupation that would not be too severe on such individuals and be the means of invaluable vocational training for the natives

The attempt to remove the State Capital from Bismarck to New
Rockford, is causing the people of the present capital city to sit up
and take notice. Bismarck people are getting organized to stem
the tide, and we predict that before the time comes to cast a vote
on the proposition that there will be one of the prethest political
scraps on that this state ever had. 1t has been said that the Ger
mans will vote for Bismarck, because that city is named after that
great ruler, Bismarck. and if New Rockford expects to put the
skids under the capital, that they should change the name of their
city to Ludefsk.
If Messrs. Wilson and McAdoo succeed in imposing any more
stamp taxes upon this country they will do so only after they have
overcome the opposition of Speaker Champ Clark, who threatens
to take the floor to make a fight against any such program. In
the light of history this is not a fearsonle threat-for in the last
Congress Mr.. Clark took the floor to oppose the President in the
matter of canal tools and was unsuccessful. To be sure, the Dem
|ocratic majority in this Congress is much smaller than it was then
and heere are more constituents to be affected by the stamp taxes.

Eighty independent Republicans of Philadelphia, including many
of the most prominent Bull Moose leaders of 1912, have issued a
|cal for reunion of the forces opposed to Democratic control of the
nation. They present the Republican party as the best medium
for such action and the response will undoubtedly be of such a
character as to emphasize that the reunion has already taken
place to a very large extent and that it will be completed beofre

do YOU wish to have all the world say that the flag OF the
United States can be stained with mpMnity.'
President Wilson put this question to his audience at Des MONIES
and the crowd roared back the answer. "No." with great emphasis:

has been saying for months to be accurate. the world has been
saving this since the day. immediately following the sinking OF the
Lusitania. when Mr.. Wilson went to Philadelphia and made his
famous ito Toud-to-fght" speech.
that he believes the people to be responsible for whatever insults
the flag of the United States has received in the last nine months.
But here never has been a day when the people We're not restless
and uneasy adm Inundated by the thought that their country had
fallen to such a position in the worlds esteem. ..
The entire fault has been President Wilson'S. He now asks ii
the people are content to have their President do nothing but write
notes. Yet it is not so long ago that he believed that his notes
We're the acme of national defence. and that his rckety Old type
writer was Il more efficient armament than either batteshipS OF

intend to terminate Woodrow Wilson's term in the White House.
