SEWARD ALASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IT. 1916

Now that the vote on wet or dry haS gone no" "ie we gong to make this Territory arid?
 It is strange but it is nevertheless fact that when we voted dry or wet we were just giving an opmon.
 The territorial legislature passed the measure tor vote on the liquor subject but the territorial legislature has no more power to make this territory dry than you orI
 What is more There is judge in the territory with the power to say that Alaska must go dry. judge IS merely an administrator of the laws; He IS not law maker and when an appointve judge becomes law mak- CT it is time to quit the country.
 This is no argument for dry wet It IS just an at tempt to draw the mind to the real status o this question:
 Of course. Alaska has stated in no mmistakabIe terms that it wants to be dry and Congress will probably take note of the fact but until Congress- the machinery of the people, acts there is no dry law in Alaska.
 federal judge can refuse liquor license for cause He can also easily find cause, but the question whether he can refuse all licenses and so take the place oI Congress or any other legislature by putting all saloons out of business.
 Needless to say We have all the laws of morality on our side when we ask for the closing of saloons but have We all the laws of Democratic government? Democratic laws require that justice must be employed for the stamp inc out of an evil well for the advancement ot Stce It was just as criminal for instance, for the people o1 Everett to shoot the Industrial Workers, called as 1t was for the Industrial Workers to try by force to compel Everett to see from their view point There must be Democratic government or there must not be. Demo- cratic government has it's faults It lets minimizing peo- pie rule sometimes but it has tremendous advantages Which would you choose? Would you like to be governed by judge who is piouS or by the people who are erng! Wouldn't you say Give us the people,!
The Seward gateway., 1916-11-17

Talking about that Everett affair; Hi Gill is right The so-calei citizens of Everett had no more right to shoot those agatos than the agtaors had to shoot the people of Everett As matter of fact this country will never be really free until the government becomes strong enough to rule the people properly or to make the rule of the people a lawful. rule It is just much murder to lynch rapng negro as it is to cut the throat of mil ionaire for his money And why?-Because all crimes are judged by human standards and human laws say that
 man must be fairly tried and fairly adjudged guilty by his peers Human laws say that you may not take the life of any unless he has been proven to have forfeited his life When you take the life without this proof you are a murderer according to this law and when you allow yourself ignore that law there is reason why you could not permit yourself to ignore all the other laws passed by yourself and the others of your kind.

BERLIN, Nov. 20.-Rich Germans

from a fisherman, but it remained for

DR.. j. j. Simmons, the Dallas dem
fist, is not a member of the associa-
ton, but the doctors invite him to
every convention for the purpose OF
hearing his funny stories. DIR. James
H. Jackson, the Miami doctor, is a
former president OF the association,
and is quite humorist on his own
account
BY way of joking DR.. Simmons, the
Miami doctor presented him with a
large rosette on o large blue ribbon
IT. the presence of the assembled as
ISOLATION. The doctors roared with
laughted at the Dallas dentist, but
pretty soon the tables were turned on
the Miami doctor. And here's what
Dr. Simmons told:
DR.. Jackson stocked his fish pond
with small bass. One Of them grew
prodigiously fast. Going to the pond
at noon one day, DR.. Jackson found
the big bass, sucking his fine Jersey
mich COX, which had waded into the
water waist deep and waited for the
fish.
Being business man as well as a
doctor, the owner of the bass and
milch cow Immediately started col
ony of milk-fed bass, and his fish are
now the most famous high-priced table
delicacy in the world.

STRIKE LEADER NOW
IN SERIOUS TOLLS

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 20-A leaf1et
not much larger than an envelope may
land w. M. Pollard, organizer and
promoter of Atlanta's recent street
car strike, in a convict's stripes and
chains.
If he is convicted on the felony
charge on which he was indicted yes
terday by the Fulton county grand
jury, Pollard will be subject to SEN
tence of not less than five nor more
than twenty years in prison.
At the outset of the strike leafet
was circulated on which was printed
a purported interview with an anony-
nous preacher venomously denoanc-
ing "scabs," and on the basis OF this
leaflet, the grand jury indicted Pol
lard under the Georgia felony stature
prohibiting the circulation of any
printed matter calculated to incite
Instruction, riot, conspiracy, blood
shed or violence of any kind.
In the course of his remarks, the
anonymous preacher declared that God
made the "scab' with the substance
left after making the rattlesnake, the
toad and the vampire, and that Judas
Iscariot, Benedict Arnold and other
unpopular characters of history were
gentlemen, compared to a man who
takes the job of another who goes on
strike.
In addition to this Indictment, Pol
lard was indicted on misdemeanor
charge of criminal libel on the en-
ployees of the street car company who
refused to leave their cars.
Pollard yesterday afternoon made
bond of $4,000 in the felony case and
$500 in the misdemeanor case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2O.-Ths
regulations governing the importation
Of cotton into the United States have
been amended to include the importat.
ton of burlap or other fabrics which
has been used for wrapping cotton and
to which is adhering. Investigation
has shown that practically all material
of this class has raw cotton adhering to
it in various quantities and there is
danger that the pink boil worm may
find its way into the United States
through this medium.
The amendment, which becomes eff.
fective on January. /, 1917, provides
that burlap or other fabric offered for
entry which has been used for wrap
ping cotton, considerable quantities OF
which are imported for making certain
grades Of paper and for other purposes,
must be disinfected in the same way as
imported cotton itself. Such wrapping
material, however. which has been
freed from all adhering cotton and dis
infected abroad by process approved
by the Federal Horticultural Board
may be admitted without further dis
infection in this country. Secondhand
or used burlap or other fabric of the
kinds ordinarily employed in wrapping
cotton but which has not been used,
and American cotton baggfng, common
ly known as coarse gunny, which has
been used only to cover cotton grown
in the United States, may be admitted
under proper certification without dis
infection.
After January 1, 1917, it will be fur
Their required that all forms of manu-
featured or semi-manufactured cotton
now admitted without disinfection or
restriction as to distribution, shipment,
of storage, must be covered with wrap
pings which would not require disin-
lection under the new amendment.
The full text of the amendment is as
follows:
Regulation Is. Importation of bur-
lap or other fabric which has been
used for wrapping cotton subject to re-
striction.
"Burlap or other fabric, under what
ever name or trade designation, which
has been used for wrapping cotton and
to which cotton is adhering shall be
subject to all requirements of these
regulations: Provided, That material
covered by this regulation which has
been freed from all adhering cotton
and disinfected by process approved
by the Federal Horticultural Board
may be admitted without further dis
infection; and, Provided Further, That
secondhand or used burlap or other
fabrics of the kinds ordinarily en-
ployed in wrapping cotton but which
haev not been so used, and American
cotton bagging, commonly known as
coarse gunny, which has been used
only to cover cotton grown in thu
United States, may be admitted without
inspection if the invoice be accompan
led by certificate in the form indi-
Gated below, copy of which shall be
affixed to each parcel. Material cover
ed by this regulation which has been
disinfected under the supervision of an
inspector Of the Department of Agricul
ture, as required by Regulation 7, and
material admitted without disinfection
under the foregoing provision, may be
DISTRIBUTED, forwarded, or shipped
without the restriction prescribed by
Regulations s, 8. and TO-"

In spite OF reports to the contrary.
Roosevelt Will make no stumping cam
paigns before the Chicago conventions.
He feels that his views on the 1916
issues are pretty well known, and that
there is nothing he can add to them.
At present he contemplates making
not more than two public addresses i'm
the West within the next two months.
Tho first of these speeches will be
made on April 20 before the Illinois Bar
Association at Chicago. Colonel Roose-
welt probably will expand his plea for

Favorites Importuned BY Letter

Odd Ways.

The motion picture actor and
actress occupies n moro intimate
place In the family circle than most
living people do. They are like char
acters in n book that has become
very familiar to the reader. and they
have so many thousands of read

II will be remembered that one Of
the philosophers has stated that the
reason people enjoy books, so Is that
they can construct the characters to
suit themselves with the outline OF
description the author gives them.
That means that each reader gives
an individuality to book character
that Is entirely his own construc-
tion, although suggested by the gen.
eral Idea Of the author.
1t Is some such idea that seems
to center around the personality of
motion picture stars, and make them
the subject Of such intimate discus
sions In the, home. The characters
these stars portray. on the screen

pie they are and the ina gination OF
