INDISPENSABLE SERVICE

Efficiency is the modern cry of me business man, layman and Yot- ,r. Selvice and efficiency go hand iu hand, being synonymous, and both oG these qualities have been the guiding principle, ruling the conduct of James Wickeusham, Al aska's alert rsprese eutative in con gress. Having served the people of this territory diligently, faithfully and with the sole aim Of advocating the cause of Alaska, he again comes D,Icre you and soHGits your vote.
 The rress of Alaska is united on t2is point, that NIr. Wickegsham has served the people and advanced their cause iu the legislative. halls or the national assembly, always being on the job and boosting Al aska wherever the opportunity pre- sented itself. More than this he has secured the passage thru the national assembly of laws which correspOl@. with the most progress- i've states in the Union. He has been the champion of the people and served them faithfully during his office holding terms. MT. Wickersham knows mope Rbout Al aska than any other man in the Territory. Congre ssmen back in Washington are amazed at the mas sive information which, he carries on his finger tips about the great uorthIand. He has lived true to every promise whi> h he has made the people of Alaska and stands ready and willing to champion theh cause in the 65 congress.
 Governmental aid must te solicit ed for Alaska if it wishes to keep pace with the other commercial un- it's in tGe Union It takes sarewd man fully cognizant with nvs7 working detail not only of the territory of Alaska but at Washington to secure the passage of up to the minute legislation for this territory. NIr. Wickersham has done good work foa' us and deserves another term. His service, at this precarious period of our develop ment. is almost indispensable. We cannot dc without him. Surely the voters Cf this Tergitory will return an overwhelming majority fer their faithful servant and return him to congress.

NOT EMBARRASSED

Nobody can embarrass me by talking about Americanism," said NIT. Hu ahes at Green Bay Wisoon- sin T am not for this che Or that one. I am for the United States Iirst. last and all the time, without regard 10 another consideration"
 This declaration was made in a state where the proportion of for efgu-5orn citizens is regarded as Iarge, where there hGs been though to be a harsh feeling toward those Who dn not tincture their patriot i'm with reservations, and where some timid folk have believed it i'm prudent to preach what Hughes has always called an ''uadiluted Ameri- cantsm."
 TFe response of Wisconsin to Hughes words has confOunded tn pussy-footers, however; and the epi sodu coupled with that earlier in cfdcnt in Tenn nessee, has demonstTat ed not cnly that Hughes cannot be embarrassed Dy the talk about Am ericanism, but that ne cannot be embarrassed by ttp talk about amy issue that may arise in the oam- paigp.

RATES TO ALASKA
 TO BE ADVANCED
 LAST OF THE WEEK

Private advlceo received In Juneau today otato that the freight rate, se- attls to Juneau, wlll be raloed from s4 to S6 ton. The fret claoo pas. songsr fare will be ralsed from s25 to s2s and tho oteerage from sf6 to si8. lt To understood, however, that sev- eral Itemo ln the freight tariff will not be raised at aIl.
 l As result of the European war, which has affected, either directly or indirectly. the shipping of the entire world by its enormous demands for tonnage of every type and rig, the steamship lines operating between Seattle and ports in Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska, effective April l, will make important advances in both freight and passenger rates. says the Post Intelllgencer of March %.
 The increased charges will average from $S to $5 a ton on freight to all ports in the North, while passenger fares for cabin accommodations will be approximately S5 higher.
 The rates on general merchandise have been s; a ton from Seattle to Ketchillan. S4 to Juneau, Douglas. Pet ersburg and Wrangell. and $5 to Haines and skagway, and proportion- ately higher ln Southwestern Alaskan ports.
 It is understood that the Southeast ern Alaska rates on general merchan- disc will be raised SS a ton. and the Southwestern Alaska charges advanc- ed S5 ton. Tn the case of Ketchi- kan the advance means that the rate will be doubled, effective April l; the rate to Juneau, Douglas, Petersburg, and Wrangell raised from S4 to S7 ton and the charges to Haines and Sllagway advanced from s5 to $S a ton This will be the biggest advance in freight rates to the Northland ever made at one time.
 Cabin passenger fares from Seattle to all ports in Southeastern and South western Alaska will average approxi- mately S5 higher. It is expected that new tariffs will be Issued this week.
 Rates in the overseas trade, to South America to the East coast, in fact, on every route but the Alaskan, have been climbing, and the enormous demand for vessels at exorbitant pric- es is soon to affect the Northland.
 There have been offers for either purchase or charter of nearly every large steamer now plying between Se- attle and Alaska ports. at prices that have never been equalled in the his tory of Seattle as a shipping port.
