The Senate of the United States
has adopted amendments to the
Revenue Bill which may mean much
If their provisions are carried out to
the letter. They give President Will
son the power to make Great Britain
leave our mail alone and abandon
her blacklisting scheme. Mr. Wilson
is virtually given the power to pro-
claim an embargo on everything
heretofore exported to the countries
Of the Entente Powers, and he Is
given the right to use the land and
naval power of the United States to
accomplish the aims of the amend
ments. One of the amendments
reads.

LIQUOR QUESTION LOCAL
Position SatisfiEs People Who Agree That People
 Should Decide

Senator Sulzer, before leaving for the westward, signed the following statement as to his position on the question of prohibition in Alaska:
 T feel that the question of pro hibition is not involved in the election of Delegate to Congress. The question is one that should.be settled by the people of Alaska, who should have control oyer all such matters. It has been submit ted to the people Of the Territory for Q referendum vote. Should the question come up in congress dur ing my term as Delegate, I shall be governed in my actions by the sentiment of the people as it may be shown at the polls on Novem- Der 7th."
 Last spring Senator Sulzer wrote letter to Representative C. K. Snow, author of the prohibition law, iu his personal capacity in which he said that efficiency would be pro- noted, economic waste prevented, and the welfare of the working c aSses improved by prohibition. This letter was given to the Wick ersham forces in Fairbanks, photo graphed, and circulated quietly among the saloon men, and others who are opposed to prohibition; for the purpose of influencing votes for Delegate Wickersham.
 In order to make the Wicker sham camUaigH stronger, Delegate Wickersham has made it a point durjr g his campaign to have Pri- yate talks with Ial of the saloon men and assure them that in the event of his election, they need hayd no far of prohibition.

ANOTHER GOLD
 SAYING DEVICE

PORTLAND, - One day many years ago, Il. L. Sherwood was min ing placer gold ou the Feather riv- CT ill California. The day had been long and hot, the toil arduous, the result unsatisfactory.
 He stood up, wiped the sweat from his face and contemplated his cld-fasE!oned rocker.
 "Wby couldn't I put half a doz- en rockers down there together, tasten 'em with q cross bar and wash six times as much gold in a day as 1 am washing now?" he wondered.
 The experimenting begun by Sher wood that day has resulted in his inyent;rg and building in Portland q placer mining machine, upon whiCt Ge has been granted a patent by the United states government. The ma chine, ne says, will take out of gold bearing sand and gravel net only the ccarse gold now obtained but the fine flour gold that for years las been the despalr of eyrey plac- CT miner to retain.

For the past several months w. F.. Burtord has written the edit o~ta-z, edited the cable daspatches, ac.ed as reporter on local news stories, and done the several Oth- CT stunts incident with getting cI.r the Daily Alaskan. Now he has gone. Some oG our readers liheL his particular style of writ iu. while some did not. He had a Ict to dc, and he did it to the best O. lis ability. He was always on tae job, always courteous, always jolly. and for these reasons he will be missed by the many friends v1Uh he has won in the short tune he has been in Skagway.
 'BurI" goes to Juneau where it ss understood he will be connected wrb the Daily Empire. as adYertis- ins manager. and if we'll wishes r5vat for aught, he will succeed, lor Ee takes with him the sincere wIsues for success and happiness in Lis kew undertaking, of the busi- ness and mechanical force of the Alaskan.
 During tie interim ofsecuring a canar.o man to fill the position created by lrr. BurtOrd's resigna- ttcu, Jack Keller will use the gcis- sors, and he takes this means of calling on his friends for any con- tri5u-ous in the line of news that trey may see it to hand his way.

 As far asTbe Empire has been able to learn, the same thing ap- plies to the Alaskan, coast. Both those engaged in the liquor busi- ness and those who are seeking to secure prohibition believe that Senator Sulzer's position is all that any citizen should ask.--Paid Adv.
