 Very Successful

The entertainment given laet Fri day evening at Thorne's for the benefit of the Presbyterian church, was very successful paIticu- larly from a financial point cf view The theatre was full to overflow ing, many persons having had to 2H t1In0d away. On account of this fact the management of the show has announced that their money will De refunded to those who hold ] tickets and who were unable to gain admittance to the theatre. Owing to the immense crowd pres ent there was considerable of a miXup when it came to seating those who had reserved seats and managed to gain admittance.
 Lack Of space prevents a de scription of the various numbers on the program rendered, However. judging from the applause all were very well received.

Fort Egbert May
 Be Used Again

In keeping with the policy of na- tional preparedness inaugurated by President Wilson, it is possible that the military post at Fort Egbert near Eagle, abandoned several years ago for such use, may be reopened. And it is stated that one reason for the trip of Lieut.. Charles II, l, Mason to the upper river city is for the purpose of Investigating, in the name of the government, conditions there, for a report on what it would cost to again put the place in com mission for the housing of at least one company of soldiers.
 While here Lieut.. Mason would say nothing as to his mission In company with Sergeant Hainlein, he departed for Circle last Tues day morning from whence he will go to Eagle.

WHY NOT TRUST THE DEMO-
 CRAFTS?

Is it expecting too much of the President to expect him to trust the Democrats in congress to share with him the responsibility of de Ciding for what amount of prepar- ednesS the party shall stand? This having been declared by the Presi- dent to be the paramount issue, is it fair 10 ignore the Democratic majority in both houses and ask Republicans to help him force his views upon his own party? What reason has he to question the pat riotism of Democratic senators and representatives? Were they not elected by the same voters who elected him? And have they not stood by him in carrying out the pledges of his platform when Re publicans did their best to defeat his measures?
 Now, a new question has arisen and, on the ground that the war com pelS II, ne aSkS TOT the adoption of military and naval policy which the leading Republicans favored BEFORE the war, but which the Democratic party has OPPOSED Why does he, ELECTED BEFORE THE WAR BEGAN, discredt the judgment of the Democrats of the house, all of whom were elected after the war commenced?

CORRESPONDENCE
EnldStroam. Feb. T.. f9t6.

Dear Mr Editor.
 Much to our surprise We saw ouI letter which we sent to you las: week published in your paper At first Mike and Pete did not like the idea of seeing their opinions about the honorable gentlemen We wrote about last week in print Pete particularly got scared He thought t.at he might be pulled" and fined for contempt of attorney but Dick assured us that We need not be alarmed over it because some time ago he heard the Hon orable District Attorney say. From now on I'll treat all articles pub lished about me in The Citizen with silent contempt" l hope our letters will come under the same silent contempt treatment
 But Mir, Editor. the above is not what We were going to ask you about We want to know more about the Democratic primaries which are going to be held in the near future for the purpose of elect ing delegates to the Juneau con yention.
 You published sore time ago tAat a meeting was held in Fair '" a witch meeting a commit ] t.e Was app1inted for the purpose ot ! appcrioning the delegates and of ap l pointing the precino; chairmen for tho l different precincts. Has thao com mittee done anythiDs2 We haven't heard anything about it ard Ne would like to follo'; your admonieh- ing Look to your primaries"
 Now how can We roughnecks do it unless We know where 10 look :? Who are the men whom the com mittee has selected as chairmen for the different precincts? Are they Democrats? Are they rough necks. operators or business men? Or are they deputy marshals or some other persons holding federal positions? If the chairmen of the several precincts are of the last named class, In the words of Dick. We might as well forget right now that there are going to be any Democratic primaries held"
 Now MT. Editor, We don't know what action the Honorable Dis trict Attorney and his committee has taken. So if you will be so kind as to get the committee's rn- port and publish it, We roughnecks. on Goldstleam at least will try to elect true Democrats to the Juneau convention.
 Yours Respectfully.

ANOTHER HOIDUP.

Nearly two years ago The Times needed the money and made g proposition to support Judge Bun neIl as delegate to congress for the sum of $500, giving in return the use of the editorial as we'll as the news and advertising columns The figure named was thought too hiNh for the good to be gained, so a compromise was effected whereb -.-y Received the sum of $300 cash and other valuable cOna,oeration
 At that time District Attorney Roth was the owner of a third in terest and from the ''s,st'men Of ownership last published. his posi- cicn has not changed.

 Now the change period has ar rived for the simple reason that another election is about due and f they are to stay ''hitched" they want to see the color of money and feel the milling on the edges.
 This is rot only evident from heir recent news story furnished by Marshal Erwin, but also be- cause of the mouthings of an un derstrapper who takes every oppor tunity of voicing the sentiment that The Lady" will be independent.
 In other words, they realize that the ring must have an organ as long as The Citizen exists, and now that the favorable time lor the holdup is fast approaching th, y commence to flirt with Mis- Indo ! >ndence.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MONEY

Money is very important thng judging by the things that people will do for 1t
 Among late news items it ap- pears that a man starved himself tu death to accumulate a paltry SIS 900, and two men in Washington committed highway robbery for $2 9O A Philadelphia woman with 5000 cash on her person ana $95,000 in a lock box froze to death rather than give up 25 cents for coal, and some thieves locked a bartender in an iceboX for several hours in orCer to get away with $4.50 apiece. The more We see of news the more impressed we are with the importance of money.
 People will not only die for it or inCriminate themselves and murder other people for it. and sell their souls for it, but they will lie awake and think about it at night and then work hard for it all day There Is almost nothing that some people will not do for money, and a few will even do nothing for it.
