IF YOU KILL A DUCK,
 LOOK AT HIS HIND LEG

The following request comes from the office of information, United States Department of Agriculture. Washington. D. C.:
 "If you kill or capture a wild duck bearing an aluminium band around one leg, having number on one side. and on the other q statement reques. ing that tte United States department of agriculture or the biological sur vey be notified, you are requested to send this band at once to the bureau of biological survey, United States de- partment of agriculture. Washington. D. C.
 "This band. If accompanied by a statement as to date, place and cir cumstances under which the bird was taken, will be of service to the survey in its efforts to determine the long evity of individual ducks and the routes of migration of the species.
 "The bands are being attached tn considerable numbers of wild ducks of several species which have been cured of the duck sickness prevalent around Great Salt Lake, Utah, and there released. The department is particularly anxious to secure reports from these birds to determine thei. complete recovery from this malady which has killed hundreds of thou sands of ducks ill Utah."

 No, Forty-Ninth Star, not a scratch of the back will you, or any other of the varieties" get from a man who understands the class struggle. The socialist candidates are not suffering from "itchforoffice'' nor any other form of "politicaI eczema" They are pledged to a platform dictated and endorsed by workingmen. They seek for themselves and their fellow men (even for opposing politicians) an abundance of food, clothing and shel- ter, and the highest obtainable free. dom and culture. These things the workers can never obtain so long as they permit themselves to be deprived of the greater portion of the products of their industry. If that is what the Forty-Ninth Star calls a "hellofa- golden rule, make the most of it. We are for it and all that it implies. Alaska Labor News.

THE PROSPECTOR has been very unfortunate in it's efforts to keep our peoples minds constantly upon the fact that to advance our interests with Eastern capital we must con- stantly keep our natural advantages before them. We cannot afford to supinely await what fate has in store for us. We must be up and on our toes, watching the ball. The fielder who stands in one spot expecting the ball to drop in his mitt. never arou#cs any interest in the grand stand. It is the same with city. If it stands still, expecting capital to come to il unsolicited. it never gets anywhere, either in population or in industries. If you have a good thing in sight let us know it: we will place it before our hundreds of readers in the States in manner which will bring returns to the community.

SOCIALISTS NOT WITH FRAME.

The Socialists are sending it all along the line to Vote for Socialists Only" howls the Forty-Ninth Star. We don't know whether the indict- ,yer. that this well known policy of sociaiists to "Vote for Socialists only" is an ever-increasing source of discontinue to old party politicians. Well they know that by a class con scious vote the workers will ulti- matcly kick out of office and power all those self-styled "heroic fighter ; for the cause of labor" who for many years. have been hand in hand with the exploiters of labor. This is "po- itical scrfdom" says the Star, but we gay it is form of political action ad- vocated by workers who know that all other candidates and parties always have and always will seek to main tain the present existing system of political and industrial serfdom.
 ''For the party and for the party
 tactics there is but one valid basis {;
 the basis of the class struggle, out
 of which the Socialist party has
 sprung up, and out of which alone
 il can draw the necessary strength
 to bid defiance to every storm and
 to all it's enemies" (Wm. Lieb-
 nicht, substantially quoted.)
 Neither the Forty-Ninth Star, it's political editor, nor any of the other '57 varieties" of candidates running at this election, recognize even the existence of the class struggle, nor have they shown any conception of it's significance.
 We are well aware that capitalistic editors and politicians have no use for the socialist theOries'' but the statement that there are any laboring men who have no use for those theO- ries. is untrue. Socialism and the la Dor movement are inseparable.
 There are only two kinds of candi- dates: Those who believe in the workers getting only portion of the value they produce. and those who believe in the workers getting all the value they create. Once worker understands this fundamental differ ence between them. he logically ceases

This is What Happens

Statistics of the Department of In- ternal Revenue show that when a state becomes rdry" there springs into existence Irresponsible bootleg gers who dc business equal in amount if not greater than that pre- viously conducted by the retailers who lost their licenses. This exposes the hypocrisy of the prohibition move ment, in that 1t is simply instrument tai in changing the channel whereas the supply is left open to take care of the stul existing demand.
 Despite the increase in consump- tion, prohibition is opposed by com mon sense folk. because of the injus- tice existing in the fact that the busi nerr of all shose retailers. wholesal- CTS and manufacturers engaged in making their products in particular state Is confiscated without in any way aiding the cause of temperance. Tn the instance of the retailer it means in most cases the end of his business. In the case of the whole saler and manufacturer. 1t means that they must move to another state, los ing much of their original investment, forcing them to a greater expenditure of money in reopcning their business. and all this without single cent of compensation for. the inconvenience and financial losses incurred.
 Prohibition should be opposed iron, the fundamental viewpoint of princl- pie. It Is absolutely wrong to so leg islate that because one man abuse his right by drinking to excess. all others should be denied this privi lege. The mistakes, wrongdoings, tn, lintemperance of one individual, no matter what forms these may take IS absolutely no criterion for the regu- lation of other individuals.
 True temperance means moderation in the use of all things and if prohi. bitionists were given the free hand that they so much desire, their polio! would demand the same prohibition in other lines of industry that it doe: in the drinking of the beverages.
 This is the reason why all good cit
 izens fight prohibition as they would fight the plague. realizing that the SO called cure is worse than the evil anf that the greatest enemy true temper ance ever had is prohibition. Adv

deeply as we are mortified with war, this note and speech, which hera1ded it, do not afford us much encourage ment to hope for an honorable and lasting peace.
 What hope is given in the speech that the whole root and cause of this great bitterness, the arrogant spirit of the Prussian military caste, will not be as dominant as ever, if we patch up peace now? The very speech in which these peace sugges- tions are made resounds to the boast of Prussian military triumph. It is a long paean over the victory of Won Hindenberg.
 We must keep a steadfast eye up- on the purpose for which we entered the war Otherwise the great sacri- fices we have been making will be in vain. The German note states that it was for the defence of their exist ence and the freedom of national de- velOpment that the Central Powers were constrained to take up arms Such phrases are intended to delude the German nation into supporting the designs of the .Prussian military caste, who ever wished to put an end to their national existence or free dom of development. We welcomed their development so long as it was on the paths of peace
 'The Allies entered this war to de- fend Europe against the aggression of Prussian military domination, and, having begun it, they must insist that the only end is the most complete effective guarantee against the possi- blllty of that caste ever again dis turblng the peace of Europe. Prus- sia, since she got into the hands of that caste, has been a bad neigh bor arrogant threatening, bullying, shift ing her boundaries at her will and taking one fair field after another from her weaker neighbors and add ing them to her own dominions
 With her belt ostentatiously full Of weapons of offence, and ready at a moments notice to use them, she has always been an unpleasant, disturb ing neighbor in Europe. She got thoroughly on the nerves of Europe. There was no peace near where she dWelt. It is difficult for those who are fortunate enough to live thou sands of miles away to understand what 1t has meant to those who live near.

Several times there were threats directed against them even within the lifetime of this generation, which pre- sented the alternative of war or hu- initiation. There were many of us who hoped that the internal inf1u- ence in Germany would be strong enough to check, and ultimately to eliminate it.
 Now that this great war has been forced by the Rrussian leaders, it would be folly not to see to it that this swashbuckling through the streets of Europe, and this disturb ance of pea aceful citizens was dealt with here and now as the most ser-
