STAR
HOLDS RECORD
in LONG RUNS
American Record From 8 to 10
Miles Goes to k0Iehmainen;
Shrubb Has Worlds Mark

When one speaks of longdistance
runners in general sense, wide
range may be taken, but inasmuch as
the stars up to the three-mile' event
have been mentioned, the runners
who have covered the distance up to
10 miles are here discussed. There are
q number of stars but at the present
time only one runner who has estab-
lished string of records. This is
Hannes Kolehmainen. =
II the average follower Of athletics
was asked off hand who at present
held the worlds record from three
to five miles he would be quite apt
to mention Koley. as he is called,
and the great little Finnish runner
has q number of records to his cred.

koiey Nails Records.
Koley holds every record in Ameri-
ca from three to 10 miles, which is
considered quite q mark for the little
runner. He Is married now and may
decide to forsake the track, but he
has made a name that viii last for
years among lovers of the track
sports. Koley has decided to remain
In America, and Is an active member
Of the Irish-American Athletic Club OF
New York.
America sent q number OF stars to
sweden at the last Olympic, but when
they watched the work of the great
little Finnish runner they decided that
America could not compete against
him. True, Tewanima, the Indian
star. ran . great race, but he was the
only American to figure in the dis.
tances from five to ten miles. After
seeing the possibilities OF athletics
here Koley decided to come to Ameri'
ca and has made good on the track In
the past few years.
Greatest Smile Race.
The writer had the opportunity to
watch Koley in his last big race, and
the Finnish star was given test.
The East had marked the five-mile
race down as q cinch. and the l. A. c,

points in this event on their cards.
Then out of the West came two run.

the eastern men.
The runners started out on the long
grind with Kohelmainen- Oliver Mil.

and the little Koley will leave them
all behind, said a man who was well
versed in long distance literature,
But he was mistaken and SO were
hundreds of others who watched the
greatest five-mile finish in history
Koley did not leave them behind In
the last lap. On the back stretch OF
the final lap lie was not in the lead
and the specialized runner of the
Olympic Club was coming fast.
Willard and Hobgood at Finish.
The race to the tape was one that
is not often seen even in much short
er races. A number of the five-mile
events have been noticeable by their
absence of close finishes. but the
spectators had no cause to complain
this day. Into the tape they rushed
and Koley won by inches, with Mil
lard second and Hobgood running
strong one stride back of the Olympic
Club runner.
Koley's best time for the three-mile
run in America is IA min. is Is. made
indoors. His five-mile mark Is % min
s secs. outdoors and "a min. 20 Is
secs. indoors. He made the ten
miles in 51:0S 2.5. Shrubb has a rec
ord OF 24:332-5 for the five-mile run

Hayes and porando.
In the longer runs the men who
have starred in the marathon are
many, among them being Johnny
Hayes, Dorando, st. Ives, Macarthur
and others. Macarthur holds the
marathon record of 2:36:54.S. Near

Other stars who have won honors
in the longer runs are Sidney Hatch
Tom Lohgboat, the Indian long. dis
lance star; Joe Foreshaw, CASTOR

Tim McGrath, who Is known along
the coast and throughout the United
States as a promoter OF professional
athletics, brought Johnny Hayes
Dorando and others out to the coast
for professional races, but the compe'
tition was lost when they turned pro
fessional. One would win once and
the other the next time, and the spec,
tators finally grew disguised with the
actions of the men who had won all
their honors In amateur athletics
Last year New York had band OF
distance stars which gave that section
a great name in long distance circles.

NOT A MATTER OF POLITICS

The Empires criticism of Delegate Wickersham has nothing to do with the circumstance that he is a Republican at the present writing The Empire knows no politics in serving Alaska objected to Delegate wiclersham's refusal to work for sefgovernment in Alaska when he claimed to be a Wilson Progressive" and when he claimed to be a Progressive Democrat" The fight for home rule in this Territory is one that has nothing to do with party politics except as poli tcians and political parties make 1t so. Senator MIL lard Representative Shoup and other Republicans have given the cause of full territorial form of government as warm support as have any Democrats. and they are entitled to the praise for their that The Empire has freely and frequently given them for that support
 The Empire would like to see every political party in Alaska demand full Territorial form of government for the Territory this year It wants results. and Is absolutely careless as through whom results come
 The trouble with Delegate wickersham is that he does not work for selfgovernmeu for Alaska He nev- pr has been home ruler Yet, if he would give some attention to the bm he introduced providing full Territorial form of government for Alaska and secure i,s passaee. we would be ready to forgive him for past negligence and give thanks for the delayed bessng

WHY PORTUGAL GOES TO WAR
(New York world.l

(NeW 1ork WOrldl
 The occasion of Portugal's entering the war has been truly inferred The statement of tho legation in Washington makes the knowledge official that Great Britain called upon her to fuf her treaty obiga tions.
 One need not go back 500 years for precedents as the legation does Two two nations have been trade friends for than 200 years since the Meth uen treaty signed and since the Napoleonc wars Portugal has been bound to furnish 10000 troops at Great Brtain's demand.
 The British Cabinet probably took this longde- ayed course for complex reasons In the dearth of merchant shipping the German ships seized In Poru- guese harbors may have been the chief reason Ten thousand troops would not so far in Western Europe now; but for consideration Portugal can send ten times as many. f equipped by British money and their assistance need not be despised
 What Portugal may gain by war Is another mat ter The prize may well be financial since she s heavily burdened in proportion to her means If the Entente wins the war, Portugal may be put on her feet again In any case the government has probably chosen the lesser of two evils

 Mr. wisters offense is double in that he not only maligns the living President but the dead Father of His Country" Mr. Mister may be able to stretch his imagination to che point Of seeing Washington inclined to "blast" President Wilson's soul
 The student of washngtons life who recalls to what scurrous and unfounded attacks he was himself subjected can more easily see him promptly cOnsign- ing NIT Mister to the class of his own detractors.

Delegate wickersham promises the people of AL aska two Senators and four Representatives in Con gress f they will only vote for him once more That is one more Representative than oregan has, notwh- standing that oregan has sooooo to s5oOoO inhabitants and has been State for 57 years. Alaska has not more than 5OOoO white people
 That reminds one of the operations of the carpet bag brigade in the South when the then recently hber ated Negroes were offered 40 acres and mule each for their votes

OUR SOCIALIST FRIENDS

The Socialist platform adopted for the city cam paign outlines scheme of development in Juneau that would lead much further probably than those who prepared it imagine It would be impossible for the cl.y to accomplish the things that Socialist friends advocate and maintain schools and the other func- tions Of municipal government It would be impOssi- bie for the reason that the orbids the city from going into debt The law would not allow the city to borrow the money necessary to acquire water system and electric lighting plant with the power nec- essary to operate the latter.
 But this platform suggests another thought. and that is how feeble and awkward must be attempts toward progress as long as the people of Alaska are bound by limitations of their governmental powers. Many peopie-and they are not all Socialists by any means-are aborng with the crude instrumentalities at their command for governmental purposes in the North who do not seem to understand that neces- sary condition precedent toward forward movement must be more power Under present form of gov ment Socialists could accomplish little of their scheme Of government if they occupied every position Of au thorty in the Territory.

 Never in the past half century has there been such demand for ships Anything that can carry cargo is at a premium. Unheard of rates are being paid for the transportation Of freight by water
 Shipping firms are combing the seven seas for anything and everything that vii float and as re- suit ship owners with regular commerce are being tempted with aluring offers Of long time charters.
 It Is natural that the ship owners. who do not care to give up their regular business and let their vessels go to charter win try to realize as much as possible where they are, in other words raise the rates Supply and demand still rule prices and be- cause the worlds supply of ships is not equal to the demand. Aassans will have to pay higher freight and passenger rates.
 When the war is over and the 1000 merchant ships now being used for war purposes are returned to ordinary lines of trade the pendulum will swing hack There will be more ships than commerce and rates will go down to figure which will offset the present increase.
 Freight rates in Alaska were already high. and tbis increase in view of the fact that freight and passengers win be brought to Alaska this year than ever before. not to mention the increasing amount of copper to be hauled out. the situation s not very satisfactory.
