Wanted-The Stroller is in the mar ket for a new device in the way of an envelope that buttons down the back instead of sealing in the old fashioned way. His reasons for wanting suchen- velope are these: He still has property interests and friends over in the Can adian Yukon about which and to whom it is necessary that he write frequent letters. Lately, and as a war measure, the Canadian government has decreed that all American mail going into that country, and all mail coming from that country Go the States, including Alaska, unused be opened, read, pondered and considered by one orm more persons con- stitutiug board of censors. Nearly every mail from the North now brings to the Stroller one or more letters on the back of which are pasted slips bearing in bold.faced type the one word "Ceusoredn
 Now, SO far as the Stroller is con- cerued, the letters he transmits through the mail to Canada are, like Mrs. Caesar. now deceased, beyond reproach, aud the Canadian government is at liberty to read and even publish their contents. but after they have been opened and duly considered, the Stroller modestly requests that they be resealed without being "all messed uo." Only this week the Stroller re- ceived letter from the other side of the line and on the back of the en- velope. iu addition Go the slip bearing the word "Ceusored," there was faint trace of egg, two coffee stains and something that resembled Log Cabin mayle syrup IL may have been some thiug else. In fact, it was difficult Go determine whether the back of that envelope was stationery or groceries.
 Ifletters coming out become smeared in lhe "censoriug" process, there is every reason to believe that letters going in are likewise smeared, and che Stroller objects 10 having his cores poudeuce arrive at it's destination, stained, sticky aud egg-smeared, es- pecially with the brand aud vintage of eggs mostly used in the Yukon country, and that is why he is looking for en- velopes that button down the back They would be more easily opeued and reclosed, besides they would be less liable to advertise what the censor had for breakfast.

Preparedness

The News acknowledges receipt of a little booklet on the subject, "Pre- paredness for the Pacific Coast" the author being o. F Weqener of Seattle. The purport of the booklet is to awak- en Americans in general to the atti- tude of the Japanese empire toward this country and especially toward the Pacific coast. Mr. Wegeuer, by bis writing, shows thorough knowledge of his subject and that he is sincere in bis beliefs is certain. His work is some. thing which should be read by every American, and it can be had for % cents sent of Mir. Wegeuer at his ad- dress, 29lf Second avenue, Seattle. The information contained in the booklet concerning the secret manner in which much of the affairs of the Japanese gov erment are carried on is we'll worth the price asked for it.

for period of three years, and I have
to say. in reply to your oral request for
statement Of the policy of this de-
