OUTLOOK NEVER so BRIGHT

The new loan of S25OOOOOOO t1at is being made to Great Britain following one for nearly $1OOOOOOOO France, is expected to contribute materially toward further increasing American foreign trade The successful negotiations Of these loans has already been followed by renewal of large orders for various manufactured products The orders for ammunition and other materials have been large, but they orly small part Of the general orders.
 These new loans have increased the amounts that the Americans have loaned to foreign countries in tho last two years to nearly Sl,5OOOO0OOO. While many or the loans are for short periods. they will probably be renewed after the war and that will mean the continuation of interest payments to the United States. These screign loans. and the loans and investments in foreign industrials. lands rail roads. have placed the United States permanent ly among the great creditor Nations
 And while have been acquiring these foreign interestpaying securities. have been repuTchaslng our own securities that were held in Europe The estimates Of the Of these repurchases in two years run all the way from two-and-ahaf to three anda-half billion dollars. The earnings this vast will be retained the United Ststes hereafter.
 To add to the glowing American prospects comes practical that the threatened railroad tsrkc will be averted. The outlook for our country was bright 1t is at the beginning Of the fall Of 1916
 And .lkwise in Alaska. The railroad engineering commission is giving work to every nan 1t can secure The continued appropriation Of funds for the consruc. ton Of the government railroad is assured. The De. partment the Interior committed further rail- road construction when the one building is com pleted.

The indications are that wagon and automobile road construction in Alaska will keep pace with railroad construction.

 He was pleased when President Wilson in his first regular message to Congress- in 1913, sald in effect that the time had arrived for the second step toward setgoyernment for Alaska. He was displeased when the Delegate ignored the invitation. He was further dispeased when the Delegate took the ground that we now have full Territorial form of govern ment He was stin further displeased when the Delegate contended that a full Territorial form or government would be so costly that 1t would ruin the Territory

THE CRIME OF HAVING AIDED wIcKERsHAS

Delegate Wckersham has sought to make the editor of The Empire and his record sclfgoyern- ment for Alaska issues in the present campaign. He
 thinks h important that the editor or The Empire aid ed him time and congratulated him upon a success scored four years ago.
 The editor Of The Empire is only sorry that he has not had occasion to congratulate Delegate Wick ersham for work in behalf of al American form Of government in Alaska since 1912.
 The fact is that the editor Of The Empire has always aided Delegate Wickersham when he support ed seltgovernment and opposed him when he opposed t-and usually he has opposed 1t. The editor of The Empire began his fight Tor secgovernment for Alaska when he became editor of the Skagway Alaskan in October 1899. He has never ceased fighting. and does not expect to cease until Alaska is a member of the Union with all the powers of a sovereign State. with provisions the initiative and referen dum the direct primary the recall and the other safe guards for popular control of the government
 As supporter Of selcgovernment for Alaska with decade-old record. he pleased when Judge Wlckersharl who had been opposing Territorial gov ernment for the six seven years that he had been in the Territory. announced July f. 19O7 that he had changed his mind. He was displeased when Judge Wickersham almost immediately after making this declaration. recanted and the commission form Of government bill for Delegate Gale to introduce in Congress.

BITS OF BY-PLAY (By Luke McLuke)
Things To Worry About.
Names Is Names.
Lnke McLuke says

Marriage is a queer thing. A big strong man who can come and go as he pleases will marry a little auny girl. And six months later the big strong man is begging tear fully to be permitted to go down town at night. And if the little fluffy girl says he cant go, he CAN'T go. and that settles it.
 You can make a woman believe that Jonah swallowed the Whale. But you can't make her belieye that another woman's hair is a;. her own.
 A man has to dig up an array of facts and figures when he wants to win an argument But all woman needs is a few tears.
 A boy wishes he was big so he wouldn't have to explain to his mother why he was out so late. But when he gets big he has to do the explaining to his wife.
 The poor dumb cuss who doesn't know anything may be in bad fix.
