the heartfelt sentiment of those with whom he has made his home during all this time when we express the wish that for him and his family the future may contain all that tends to dlfuse happiness, prosperity and success. no matter where their lot may be cast The Hoops have n coming.
 "In assuming the ownership ot'the Douglas Island News we do SO in the belief that there is a great future for "this side" We. with our good neigh Dor.

To further aid in this growth and development to the best of our ability Is our intention and purpose. We do not believe that party politics should have any place in municipal governments. but that all. irrespective of party. should work together for the advancement or good government and the betterment Of local conditions.
 we are in hearty sympathy and accord with the present National ad- minlstration. believing that President Woodrow Wilson is the right man in the right place st the right time. Not only. in our opinion, Is he guiding the entire course of the nation alright but his treatment of Alaska is all that Alaskans can desire.
 Indications are that the temper ance sentiment which Is now sweep Ing like a tidal wave over both the United States and Canada. will enguli Alaska In the near future and. in our belief. the sooner it comes the bet ter it will be from standpoints of mo rality. healthfulness. economy eili ciency and the general public welfare However. when Alaska goes dry 1t should be by desire and vote oi Alaskans rather than by edict Issued at Washington.

BRUNSWICK TAX
RATE HIGHEST IN
HISTORY OF TOWN

Brunswick. May o3.-The assessors
today announced that the tax rate for
the year would be S219O on a thou
sand. This is the highest tax rate
il the history of the town and is large
~ due to the decrease in valuation oc-
casioned by the Bath Water District
taking over the property owned by the
Maine Water Co. in this town. The
total valuation of the town is $4,116,f
739 against s4,13S.9S3 last year. The
loss in valuation of the property of
the Maine Water Co. which is now
non-taxable is approximately S15,00G
The remainder of the decrease is
largely due to Brunswick residents
transferring taxable money into nom
taxable bonds. The tax rate for the
village corporation will be $3.50
thousand which is slight increase
over that of previous years owing 70
the fact that a thousand dollar sewer
bond of a new series now becomes
payable each year.

ChurchiII's Plea

Winston Spencer Churchill, former
first lord Of the admiralty, who has
been opposing the government in the
House of Commons since his return
from the front, was the first speaker in
the general debate initiated by the
premier's motion fo- the vote of cred
1t.
Mr.. Churchill expressed regret that
Mr.. Asquith had not reviewed the gen.
eral strategic situation and said it was
unreasonable for people to expect the
war to turn suddenly and decisively in
favor of the allies. The contending
armies were far too evenly matched
at the present time to permit of such
change.
The allies felt they were the strong
er and had a preponderance of men.
Mr. Churchill continued, but against
this was the central position of their
opponents. the superior unity of their
war direction and the advantage of
being able to retain the initiative.
The allies had larger reserves, actual
and potential, than their enemies. and il
was in the use which was made of them
that the hope of final victory lay.
The frequency of the German and Aus
trian attacks on all parts of the front
might be a sign of the measure of their
strength, Mr. Churchill said. but it also
might be sign of the measure of tneir
profound anxiety. If the Germans were
beaten decisively they would be beaten
by lack of men. and accordingly the best
use must be made of the men now being
called to the British arms.
