gether probable that today in Juneau the people are having a little sense and voting their city wet The Lord knows it is wet enough in every other way-and dark enough. and gloomy enough and Judge-ridden enough to satisfy the requirements of the most fastidious. We are not afraid of the verdict Juneau is rendering today.
 Fairbanks has Federal Judge. just the same as Juneau and Valdez. When he came ii was into an enemy-camp, under indictment The ease with which he won free and came into lik- ing and respect here is a tribute to his manhood and personality. He has the same power that the fishermen judges have on the Coast, but he has an understanding of humanity and human sympathy which, the fish-judges the saloon men of Fairbanks the deal the saloon men of the Coast are get ting. but he doesn't. In fact, that is about the last thing he would think of doing, unless the saloon men by their conduct forced him to fight them with the machinery of the Court In November the people of this District will decide whether the saloon shall close in Fairbanks. but they will de- eide without interference or coercion Of the District Court of this Division. All who are on the voters list and who arc out of the country at that time will be counted as voting dry" All who are in town and do not vote will be counted as having voted dry" Still. at that, we're not afraid. The people can be counted upon most all of the time to know what they want and decide all public questions right. - Fairbanks News-Miner, June 1. 1916.

E. G. Llversay, Of Princeton, w.
Va, a well known railroader and
Brotherhood man, who is in the city
looking after a valuable patent which
the postofIlce department has ap-
proved and is about to adopt, had
this to say about a popular and ef-
fiClent public official:
There isn't any doubt OF Con-
gresham Cooper's reelection. 1t is
conceded by eerybOdy in the Fifth
district. The record VI ich he has
made has caught the eye and brought
out the approval Of the people. You
hear that everywhere you go. Mr..
Cooper's popularity with the voters
has been immeasurably increased, in
stead Of diminished, by his work in
this Congress- He deserved this ap-
proclatlve recognition because he has
worked hard and worked efficiently
to win it. Party lines cannot be
said to be other than very loosely
drawn in the Fifth district so far as
Edward Cooper is concerned"

Since the operation on his left
hand, from which dccayed bone and
matter were taken out, Congressman
Adam B. Littlepage has suffered oc-
caslonal great pain from 1t, which
has only left him within the last
ten days. For time it was feared
that the operation had not been as
successful as it had been hoped 1t
would be, and there was always back
of the fear that 1t might be possible
that amputation would be necessary.
Now, however, the attending sur
geons announce that they feel as
sured that such fear is groundless.
The pain having departed, and the
wound begun to rapidly heal up,
they think that the patient has
found permanent relief, and that no
recurrence Of the trouble is probable
When 1t comes to matter Of sym
nathy between members Of the hu-
man family, there arc no suchNthings
as marty lines, and the Charleston
scion has been touched by the solicit
tatlon and heartfelt interest Of the
Republican members OF the House OF
Representatives no less than by those
who occupy seats on his side OF the
