It's very entertaining to read the inter-newspaper discussions which are now proceeding in Juneau, be- tween the Empire and tho Dispatch. The Dispatch supports the idea of Statehood, while the Empire wants full territorial government. It's wonderful how interesting the con troversy between Tweedledum and Tweedledee can become betimcs.

It is about time that Mail Con- mittee of the Chamber of Commerce got busy and tackled tho utterly de- ficient mail service that Nome is re- cciving at the source. They would at least have the satisfaction of dis covering whose the fault is. Whether that of the mail clerk or tie postmasters or whose. Then they could act accordingly.
 We are about ton behind other years in the mail received. One mail due last week has not arrived, and at no time has there been even an approximation of the maximum received.
 No doubt the Committee is fully competent to handle the question, but if they take tho matter up di- rectly with Delegate Wickersham and with the Postmaster Generai and state the case clearly without doubt, they will receive attention. It is no usc wasting time with sub- orlinateS of any department. Direct to headquarters will obtain quicker results and conditions here are some rotten.
 There is even an objection locally to give out the exact amount of mail received each week. The req son is obvious. The officials don't want to let the people know how bad it is. But it is about time that the matter received attention. Nome wants some mail service; Nome has been satisfied enough with the poorest service in Alaska. but when it gets so rotten that it smells to ,heaven, it's about time for action.

Employers Using Scientific Advisers to
Get the Right Man for the
Right Place.

In the March American Magazine Hugh
S. Fullerton says in his article, Getting
and Holding job" that employers have
become weary of paying out immense
sums of money every year to find out
that their employees do not know, what
work they are fitted for or can do. And
a number of them have invoked the aid
of science to get the right man for the
right job.
There is nothing occult, nothing un-
canny or philanthropic about it-simply
a solid business proposition of saving
time and money, Of preventing waste of
human industry that may be valuable
somewhere else, and of minimizing the
changes in working forces. The move
ment is growing in New York, well
started in Boston, and under considera-
ton in other cities. In Chicago. New
York and Boston, employers advisers
clubs are working out the problems, and
in time the movement is expected 20
result in a series of clearing houses for
workers which shall supply every EN-
ployer with the right man for the right
place

Boston.
Our local theatregoers who have no
doubt read these stories, will now have
an opportunity of seeing this widely
discussed musical comedy when it comes
to Barre opera house, Friday, Feb. 25.
The play tells of the adventures of a

cannot until both are on shore, where
trouble accumulates for them. In the
course of the play the young fellow finds
himself simultaneously and unwillingly
engaged to three or four females OF vary
ing ages and charms, and it is not until
the last minute that he is free TO marry
his dream girl of the ocean liner.
The scenic investiture of the play is
elaborate to the last degree, one scene

HoRSEMEN AT BANQUET.
Those at Lyndonville Augmented BY 9th

| Iyndonville, Feb. Following the
matinee of the Lyndonville Driving club
which was held on the snow path yes.
terday afternoon, the club last night en-
tertained nearly 100 guests at banquet
in Gable hall. Prominent horsemen were
present from Vermont and New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts,, and the event
vas one of the most successful in the
history of the driving club. Dr. II. M.
Smith acted as POSTMASTER and the fol-
lowing were called upon for speeches I:
d. d. Bean of st. Johnsbury, Louis NJ.
Smythe of st. Johnsbury, John o. Ray
of Boston, and George NJ. Stevens OF
Lancaster, n II. The ladies of the Con-
gregational church served an excellent
banquet. The committee in charge were
DIR. David r. Brown Everett Il. Ruggles,
and i. r. Farrar.
This season has been very successful
one on the snow path and some excel
lent sport has been furnished Saturday
afternoons. Keen racing has been the
rule and former records have gone down
at nearly every meet. Ruth D., owned
and driven by DIR. ID. r. Brown has four
times set up new marks. The first new
record hung up by this spunky little
mare was 30ia seconds for the quarter.
This was considered good time until the
next matinee when the same horse clipped
off a quarter of second, turning the
track in 30A. Not content with this,
DR.. Brown drove his speed marvel in 30
seconds fiat in the next weeks meeting,
beating out Gott Eft, which had been
imported from Montpelier with the one
idea of showing Ruth d. his heels. 1t
was only natural that horsemen thought
the record OF 30 fat would remain for
some time, but on Feb. II, Ruth ID was
forced to even faster pace to retain her
supremacy ON the local snow path. This
time she was matched against "Skibo,"
the property of Ruggles Brothers, and
was given the race of her life. In the
second heat of their matched race, the
horses finished neck and neck, and the
winner was clicked in 29& by four
Judges.
Much credit is due A. f. RugOles, pres
dent, and p. X. Griswold, secretary of
.he club, for the successful season as
hey have put in a vast amount of work. |

The bandit leaders present large force
and recent victories, following his threats
TO raise a new revolutionary army, have
caused the deepest pessimism among Car
ranzistas in FL Paso. Villa replenisbed
his munitions supply from the loot cap
tured in the victory over Cayasos.

Is a Satisfactory Tariff Commission
Possible?


Under the existing traditions Of our
political life the only way to secure a
permanent, dignifled, able, non partisan
body is through the establishment of an
independent board board composed
of administrative officials would neces-
sarily be subordinate to the heads of the
several cabinet departments and would
be supposed to be under their political
influence. To have the desired onpar-
tisan and impartial character, it is said
that tariff board must be composed of
new appointees, independent persons,
and men of larger caliber than can now
be expected as sub officials in the de-
partments. Ones attitude on problem
of this sort is necessarily influenced by

hopeless to attack them directly.
The essential thing is that we should

the war in the heavens is reaching un'

flight battalion was made up of Is aero
planes. They engaged superior force
of French craft. Near Vigneuilets- les

it is probable that more than 100 aero
planes and airships were fighting at the

Goddard's second game of basketball OF
her home floor this season was played
last night against the husky Holdernes'
school five and resulted in a win for the
local team by the score of 20 to rs.
The game as a whole gave one the inn
preston of being slow, though there were
bursts of speed shown from time to time
by both teams. Goddard was somewhat
handicapped by her suspension OF prac-
tice during the recent two weeks re-
cess, caused by the outbreak of scarlet
fever at the seminary, and showed the
lack of practice in passing and team
work. Connor was the life of the semi
nary team and his team-mate, Loudon,
played an excellent game. Wilson was
