NAMES OF ALL
 CANDIDATES TO
 BE ON BALLOTS
Not Withstandine Imperfections Law Clerk Bell Will Place All
 Propositions on Tickets,

Although the election laws of AL aska provided by the late Legisla- turc make no provision for placing che names of candidates for Attor- ney- General or the proposition to take a plebiscite on the question Of prohibition, Clerk of the Court J.. W. Bell announces that he will place Che names and the proposition lon the official ballot The election law provides in specific terms that the names of the candidates for Del egate Co Congress shall come first; the names of the candidates for Territorial Senator shall come next and the names of the candidates for Representative shall be last on the official ballot
 Another law provides for the el- ectiou of an Attorney-General by the people And still another law provides for submitting Co the peO- pie the question of prohibition. In neither case does the law contain anything as to the placing of the propositions on the official ballots to be used by the electorate, and the election law passed after the other propositions, provides as stated in the beginning that the official ballots shall contain the names of the candidates for Delegate to Con- gress and those Of the candidates for the Territorial Legislature. However. Mir Bell holds that inas- much as the laws require that these other matters be submitted tO the noonlo he will Dlacp them on the official ballots of the First Division.

A QUESTION.

Carranza has responded to the de-
mand of the state department with
the promise that the murderers of
the American citizens who recently
lost their lives in the guerrilla zone
will be put to DEATH
= We now desire, gently but firmly,
to ask our fire-eating critics Of the
administration which they would
rather have at this juncture: the best
efforts of the CarranZa government,
encouraged by the measure of conf
dence reposed in it by Washington,
to restore order and punish the mis-
creants, or an American invasion of
Mexico, with the resultant weaken
ing of Carranza's hands, the result
ant encouragement to every bandit
and insurgent to masquerade as a
patriot and do his worst, the distrust
of the United States in every state in
Latin America which would inevi-
tably follow our recognition of Car
rama, only to ignore his government
and take matters into our own hands
on the first occasion Of our need of
its authority!-St. Louis Republic.

WHAT CARRANZA MUST DO.

President Wilson is right in his
determination to give General Car
rama full opportunity to demon
strate the sincerity of his pledges.
Carranza, on the other hand, cannot
afford to underestimate the bitter
ness of American feeling over the
massacre in Chihuahua.
Representative Slayden of Texas
spoke fc1 Americans in general as
we'll as for the people of the border
states When he said that they would
be satisfied with nothing short OF
the capture and execution OF the MUIR
derers." The work of capture is al
ready under way, but the punish
ment must be as ruthless as the Of
Tense.
The United States government has
no reason to doubt the good faith or
General Carranza and the Mexican
authorities in this matter. The Car
rama representatives in Washington
has informed the state department
that efficient action will be taken to
bring the murderers to Justice and
efficient action is what is needed. The
question at issue is however, wheth-
err the CarranZa government, howev-
err sincere it may be, is physically
capable of coping with the situation
aud taking such efficient action.
If it can, the demands for interven-
ton will soon be forgotten. IT 1T
fails, the situation will become more
than serious.
So far as the American people are
concerned Gen. Carranza is still on
trial. Public sentiment on the whole
approved the presidents act of recog-
milton, but it was approval inspired
by hope rather than confidence. That
remains the attitude of most Ameri-
cans.
Their hope must be materially
strengthened to the permanent bene-
fit of the relations between the Unit
ed States and Mexico if Gen. Carran-
"a were to prove that he fully appre-
ciated the full significance OF the
Chihuahua crime. If he does so ap-
preciate it, his efforts will show it.
Unless he produces results that ap-
peal to American confidence in the
power of his government, there will
be little public support of him left
in this country.
If Gen. CarranZa is wise he will
accept the Chihuahua massacre as the
final challenge of his enemies in
Mexico to his authority and meet it
with all the force at his command.
That is his critical period, and if he
fails we do not believe that he can
long sustain himself. Should he sue
coed in capturing the perpetrators of
this infamous outrage and in bring
ing them summarily to justice he will
have established himself, and popu-
lar INDICATION in the United States
will rapidly subside. Should he shirk
his duty and his responsibility, the
demand for Intervention will stead
lily increase until some day another
slaughter Of Americans will make it
irresistible.
Not only the fate of the Carranza
government but the future of Mexico
may rest on the zeal and energy
shown in the pursuit and punishment
of the Chihuahua murderers.-New

SHAVED ON BOARD SHIP;
PASSPORT WAS USELESS

San Francisco, Nov. 20.-It all
came out right in the end when the
steamer Ventura arrived here and G..
Fitwros' mustache dropped off while
immigration officials were scanning
his passports. But it looked for a
time as if the hero was going to
exit" with blasted hopes.
Fitwros left Australia with a
fiaring mustache and passport into
the United States bearing his picture.
"Tll go have a shave" said he to
himself one day when time aboard
ship hung heavily. And he did.
you'll never get into America
now," said a friend. "Your passport
shows a mustache."
An actress dug false mustache
from her trunk, and Fitwros pasted
it on. The immigration official was
about to pass him when the mustache
fell off, and heavy hand fell on the
shoulders of Fitwros.
The drama ends with Fitwros sur
rounded by friends, his mustache in
his hand and the ships barber testi-
flying.

SEND A THANKSGIVING BOX

A Thanksgiving box of good things
is acceptable to almost any one who
does not make one of a family
group on Thanksgiving day. While
teachers and students in boarding
schools and colleges are usually
associated with these boxes from
home, the young man or woman in
business with boarding house for a
home will be quite as appreciative of
such remembrance as any one else.
For the woman keeping house in a
small apartment a well stocked
Thanksgiving box is a real joy and
furnishes the wherewithal for a
festivityg worthy of the name of
Thanksgiving.
