 "The precincts yet to be heard from in the Second are Barrow, Xii ana, Haycock and Kobuk with about 100 votes all told and Dime with be- tween 75 and 100 and Marshall, or Fortuna Ledge, with about 175 votes. All of these precincts will increase my majority.

 Continuing, Delegate Wickersham said: q have been at sea for the past five days and until last evening have not seen a paper. Before that time since the election, was at Cor dova and was not in a position to re- ceive any returns from the election. The only way we could get results was to cable to the Valdez Prospcctor and our returns were very meagre. You know more about the results than I do and are in a better position to know"
 Mir. Wickersham stated that he was busy before the election looking after "the interests of the people of tns Territory with regard to the Inter- state Commerce Commission" and would continue to do so until the hearings are finished. When ques- toned as regarding future plans, Mr. Wickersham stated that he was mak- ing no plans and would not until it was definitely known whether he had been defeated for Delegate or not.
 "There is plenty of time to plan after that" he said.-Juneau Empire, Nov. IT.

Mythical Prosperity

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Both the Republican and the
Democratic candidates for the position
of President seem TO be neglecting the
great issue of the time-the advanc-
ing cost of living.
The growing discomfort of the ma
jority is full of menace. Yet neither
Hughes nor Wilson seems to care one
rap how many of us have to cut down
our food and go without decent clothes
while a few multi-millionaires and a
small minority Of specialized working
folk indulge in Injuries.
Is it not time that the few greedy
captains of industry we're made TO dis
gorge part of their unearned millions
Il could be done quite peacefully by
readjusting the income tax. Unless
this is done peacefully and legally, we
may wake up some day 10 find that the
downtrodden masses have taken things
into their own hands.
American plutocracy is as oppressive
as the autocracies and sristocrscies of
the Old World-and much more
heartless The prosperity" of which
we read is mythical.

"THE CASE OF THE U-53"
MIR. Wilson and Mr.. Hughes Both
Moral towards
editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is an article in your paper
this morning by James NJ. Beck prop
erly criticising President Wilson for
his pusillanimous attitude toward Ger
many's conduct in her submarine war
fare. The purpose of the article is, Of
course, to increase the vote for Mr..
Hughes and lessen that for Mr. Wilson.
If that article comprised all there was
to be said, and Mr.. Hughes was the an
tithesis of his opponent on that subject,
Mr.. Hughes would be elected.
Mr.. Wilson's conduct toward Ger
many is the great and only issue in the
campaign. There would have been no
such issue were Mr.. Wilson a man of
moral courage. There would have been
no such issue were Mr.. Hughes a man
of moral courage. They are both moral
towards. The President is not afraid
to speak, but he is afraid to act. Mr.
Hughes is afraid even TO speak. He is
vociferous against the issues that are
dead, or not yet born, like the Adam
son law and the tariff. He attacks
them with the energy and ruthlessness
of the German hordes against the de-
fenceless women and children of Bel
GUM, but for the ruthlessness of the
submarines he has not the squeak of a
mouse.
Mr.. Hughes lost his chance when in
the beginning Of his campaign he did
not come out clearly and positively for
the rights OF man on the high seas and
assert in a way that could not be mis-
taken by the people or evaded by him
self later, just what he would do 20
protect those rights. He has not i'm
proved one iota on Mr.. Wilson, and the
voters are all at sea. They can but
choose between two wretched alterns-
tves. The national will has been
emasculated and public sentiment
weakened and dissipated, instead of
being strengthened and concentrated.
Whichever party wins, the United
States stands before the world a cowed
nation, willing that their rights should
be fought and bled for by others, con-
scious Of this degradation and content
with it. With population Of 100 ,OOO,-
600, there could be found only two can
didates for the highest Office in the
land, and those two agreed that pusilla-
nimity is the one gift OF the gods that
all should seek. c. F. COFFIN.

Protect Their Memory

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Some years ago the profit
mongers and politicians went so far
in their indecent misuse of the national
emblem as an advertising device that
the people rose against them and
forced the passage of laws protecting
the nations flag from such deflement.
May suggest that these protective
avs might very properly be extended
TO cover the names and memories Of
certain great figures in American his
tory-names and memories that belong
10 the nation as truly as does the flag
itself. and which are now in danger Of
a similar debasement.
That Abraham Lincoln should be
torn from his grave to further the
fortunes OF candidate is as gross an
offence 10 the decent American as a
direct insult 20 the flag. What are the
great patriotic orders doing that they
keep silent? JOHN MCCORMICK

A Case in Point

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your able editorials on the
Wilson Administrators deceitfulness
in regard to civil service examinations
for fourth class postmasters tell the
naked truth, and are being Endorsed by
all honest Southern men.
| will give you case in point;
The postoffice at McFall, Ala, was
advertised under the ruling Of the
Civil Service Commission at Washing
ton, as were all fourth class offices.
The public was notified that civil
service examination would be held at
Admission, Ala, for the purpose of ap-
pointing a postmaster at McFall, Ala.
One Republican and five Democrats
stood this examination. ! was the lone
Republican, and | was the only one
out of the six who made over 80
in the examination. The powers that
be at Washington appointed Demo-
crat, whose rating was third below
mine.
If the Civil Service Reform As
ISOLATION can get access to the records
at Washington this statement will be
verified, and numbers Of others similar
10 this in this state.
Yours for an honest administration
Of the civil service.

year. He chose TO advocate the raises
in pay because he thought they were
merited.
The community at large is not
likely to dispute that view. Both de-
partments. which come into direct
touch with the life Of every city resi-
dent. are better worth good opinion
now than ever before. The firemen
are trained, highly efficient. scientific
guardians of property and life. The
police are fine, clean. outstanding
men, proud to serve in department
which they strive TO keep worthy the
respect Of its members and the city.
These wearers Of the city's uniform
amply deserve the tangible token Of
the public's approval which the
budget committee has voted. The
Tribune hopes they will get it in their
pay checks.

AMERICAS HUMILIATION
Bound to Follow the Reelection of
Mr.. Wilson

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In a supreme effort 70 impress
his countrymen, IN his address yester-
day at Shadow Lawn President Wilson
gave warning that his defeat meant
national calamity. In a recent address
he states that this country cannot hope
TO be kept out Of the next great war.
have no doubt that President Wilson
feels so about the future. Having wit
nessed fight, shirked in his duty. and
made enemies Of the contestants, ne
must expect his day to come.
Close observation of our dealings
with foreign countries and their feel
ing toward us as a result thereof dur
ing this world war leads one TO con-
clude that the reelection Of Mr.. wilson
means continued disrespect and fast
growing arrangement II will bring
our utter humiliation in loss of world
prestige and power, either from threat
of war or actual war. President VIII
son seems more interested in the ex-
pression of his views and opinions than
in their true, practical value, and IS
consequently, untitled for the office OF
Chief Executive.
profoundly believe that the world
is waiting for the reelection OF Mr..
Wilson, and should this country COM
nit so grave an error, we will soon
realize our fallen prestige. The world
knows that Mr.. Wilson cannot main
tain prosperity, efficiency, gallantry
longer than this war lasts.

4 MEASURING-WORM POLICY
Brought Out the Great Non-Partisan
Preparedness Parade as Protest

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: On May 10 of this year there
was witnessed one of the most remark
able demonstrations of public feeling
that ever occurred in this city. For
twelve hours our wonderful thorough
fare, the pride and property Of every
woman, man and child whose home is
in sight of it, was a moving picture of
the life and energy which is New York.
In close column, and in seemingly
endless procession, thousands after
thousands of human beings marched
IN review, and those who marched were
but small proportion of the million
or more who would have marched IL
Fifth Avenue could have held them, and
who from the houses and sidewalks
looked on in enthusiastic approval of
what?
A dignifed and patriotic protest by
the citizens Of the metropolis against
the brainless and cowardly policy of
the present administration of the gov
eminent of the United States, policy
of national humiliation, a measuring
worm policy, with more caution and
less backbone than this harmless in
vertebrate, to which | apologize; a pol
icy Of yacillation which invaded with
the armed forces OF the United States
a country with which we were at peace,
and in battle caused the death of 10
American sailors and 1876 Mexican citi
zens, among whom were women and
children; and all this for the purpose,
as expressed. of enforcing a salute 70
our insulted flag, a salute that is still
missing; n policy which, in boastful
diction, TO svenge the murder of our
citizens and soldiers in our own in
vaded country, sent our army into Mex
leo on the great campaign OF ridicule
10 take Villa dead or alive" a fasco
ending in the death OF a number Of
our soldiers, but neither in the death
nor capture Of the elusive bandit.
The wonderful outburst Of patriotic
indignation of which the citizens ma
tional defence parade Of May 10 was
expression compelled change in the
policy OF our government, for, like a
prairie on fire, it swept across the
country, and by the light Of that con-
fagration even a myopic administra-
ton was able ito read the writing on
the wall"
History is replete with the records
Of farreaching events which have been
determined by circumstances seemingly
trivial. The fate Of Europe and the
destiny OF the wonderful Corsican
hinged on the words Of shepherd boy;
Don't go that way, go this" But for
these few words the army Of Butcher
would not have reached Waterloo IN
the crisis of that historic battle.
