BELIEVED IN PROHIBITION.

Inc late James J. Hill, the railway
magnate, was an advocate of national
prohibition and would shortly have
made public statement indorsing it,
was the assertion made by Prof. Irv.
ing Fisher ut st. Louis, when he
brought before the resolutions commit.
tee of the Democratic party the matter
of prohibition plank in the par+y
platform. II received letter from
Mr.. HiN." said Professor Fisher, lin
which he declared that the greatest
factor in the promotion of crime, dis
ease and poverty In th'. nation was
the liquor traffic, and that ne believed
national prohibition was the best solu.

William Shaw was too dead to appre-
ciate it.
Shaw was quiet, Industrious, God
fearing man who occupied one side Of
a double house in Edinburgh, his
daughter Catherine being his house
keeper. She was beautiful girl, who
had many suitors, and, with a per
versity that has distinguished many
beautiful girls since the world was
new she chose as her favorite a man
who was unworthy. He was fond Of
holding high wassail with reckless com
panions, he looked upon honest toll as
ries concerning his criminal exploits
Catherine had winning smiles for this
undesirable citizen, but she had moth
ing but frowns for a certain Aleck
Graham who wanted to marry her so
bad that his bosom ached.
Aleck was all a young man should
be. He worked like Sam Hill and
saved his money and already owned
considerable property. He had no bad
habits and he was handsome and agree
able. Many a damsel longed to be his
bride, but he yearned for Catherine
and Catherine yearned for her black
.aeep.
It is not strange that William Shaw
was grieved and aggravated. Any safe
and sane parent would be incensed
over such a condition Of affairs. Many
and many a time he talked to Gather
ine, pleading and arguing with her, try
ing to induce her to appreciate the
merits of Graham, and to turn the 9th
er man down. Neither is 1t strange If
he lost his temper once in while,
when the girl stubbornly protested that
she'd marry the man of her choice or
die an old maid.
The other side of the double house
was occupied by man named Morri-
ION, and it seems clear that Mr.. Nor
:ison had long nose and longer ears,
for when the trouble came upon Shaw,
Morrison could repeat from memory

TERRITORIAL POLITICS

As the tune approaches for the territorial con- yentions to meet and nominate candidates Tor con- ressonaI delegate and for an attorney general tor the territory. candidates are being mentioned and ine-ups suggested from various sectons but a most peculiar phase of the situation IS that while many names have been mentioned in connection
 with the deIegatesh!p, not solitary person has yet openly announced himself as a candidate. It seems 10 be pretty generally understood that Judge Wlck- ,rsham will seek the Republican nomination, yet TO one in position to do so has stated One news paper declares that 1t has been stated positively hat Delegate Wickersham or his friends and the forces of ShackIeford, formerly national commit iacman, are now carrying on negotiations tor the r}ur1ose of clearing the way for the amalgamah '1 oC the two schools of Republican politics in the ter ;tory," supposedly with the end in view of securing he Republican nomination for Wlckersham. Yet 10 person IS mentioned as authority for this asser- lon. Friends of Wickersham will greatly depore any movement by him which will make the contest for delegate partisan fight His great strength heretofore has been that he drew support from all parties
 For the Democratic nomination for delegate several names have been mentioned, among them being Senator Charles Sulzer of the First dlvson, Iom Gaifney of Nome, and George Grlgsby also ot the Seward peninsula city Sulzer IS sad to be a man of much ability, and very popular m hls dVl- sion Gafney Is an official in the Indian service, and formerly was president of the Miners union at Nome 1rigsby is said to be a lawyer of ability.
 It is not likely that the fight for the deegateshp will take definite shape until the Republican conyen ion meets at Seward on April lo

They know they taking risks say whether tLey willing to take them
 Such a rule would have deprived the United States supreme court of all justices except including John MarhaI and would have deprive that of o m9nding figures.

SUGGESTED PEACE TERMS

While 1t IS generally agreed that none ot the War ing nations IS as yet ready to dlsc'iss peace e!mS, there IS little doubt that the German govenmen, has been sending out feeers for discussion and to crys talze public sentiment Tn neutral nations on the sub iect of possible peace terms Recently there was published in a Swiss newspaper a set ot proposed peace conditions which the New York Times corre- spondent claims was inspired by the German foreign office with view to stimulating discussion among neutrals" He claims also that it is known what member of the German government prepared the article printed in the Swiss newspaper It IS only air to say however, that there has been printed in Germany a semi-ofcial repudiation of the article The German newspapers attach enough importance to the article to reproduce it, as follows:
 In German circles the main principles the peace ncgota be initiated thus conceived:
 l. Belgium s her independence provided that a repetition the of 1914 be made impossible by treaties and, perhaps also by the holding of pledges.
 France Germany also would waive inden ty the part France France ceded Germany her claims on Russia to the amount $36OO obvious with France would be the restoration by England all the German colonies and the evacuation of

 6. Albania obtain in reality the independence that formerly granted under prince of her election

 In commenting on the above the Swiss newspaper says:

the occupation of the republic by our military forces be ordered.
 Such an eventuaIity will be greatly to be deplored and it is not at all surprising that President Wilson and his advisers are endeavoring in every manner possible to avoid such an outcome. With the ex- ample of the Philippines before them, they realize that the position of the United States, even with a speedy and decisive defeat of the armed mobs of Mexicans would be most unenvable Uncle Sam would find himself in the position of the welImean- ing individual who attempts to set his neighbor s house in order-probabIy the most thankIess task imaginable.
 That there are interests at work to make the oc- cupat;on of Mexico by United States troops npera- tive there is little doubt That the administration IS aware of these efforts and will endeavor to thwart them goes without saying. It often has been said that once the United States troops crossed the Ro Grande they would not return until order has been restored in Mexico. It begins to look as though the prediction would be fulfilled.

March 2l, 1916 To the Editor of The Iditarod Pioneer:
 I see in vour issue of March very amusing story of the poverty Of the natives on this river. and suggest that the parties returning from this district give you good bear story and let the natives alone. There gre no hungry natives at Sletmute or along this river.
 Game has been plentiful this winter. The natives have this market well supplied with meat and are now hauling moose to Flat for sale. The fish run last summer was enormous, and there is an abundance of silver simon for sale at cents along this river

NEW REGIMENT is PLANNED
viii Join First and Seventh Regiments
for Mexican Service.

Marietta, O.-In an effort to have
members of the First Regiment at Gin
einnati and Seventh at Marietta in
cluded in the Ohio troops called out
for Mexican border service, Col. Harry
d. Knox, commanding the Seventh
Regiment, announced that he has
about completed the organization of a
new regiment of Ohio infantry. The
new regiment, the Tenth, will be com
bined with the First and Seventh to
make a Third Brigade. The First and
Seventh Regiments were not called out
because they had not been assigned
to a brigade. There are only two
brigades in Ohio, each comprising
three regiments Col Knox announced
that 10 companies have been offered
for the new regiment from Cincinnati,
Waverly, Bellaire, Greenfield, Somer-
set, Jackson, Crooksville, Steubenville,
Cambridge and an Austro-Hungarian
organization Of Canton Only two
more companies are needed to com
plete the regiment. AS soon as the
new regiment is completely organized,
Col. Knox will tender its services to
Gov. Willis and suggest that as a new
brigade has been completed, efforts
be made at Washington to have it call
ed out with the other Ohio troops.

and three other missionaries to Liberia,
were rescued in December from death
at the hands of cannibals by the
United States scout cruiser Chester.
says the Christian Herald. On account
of economic conditions natives among
whom the missionaries had been work
ing returned to their former cannibal
practices. The missionaries were in
great danger. since the cannibals pre-
fer the meat of white persons rather
than black The missionaries had
been stationed at Jacktown, Liberia,
and managed to make their way to
Greenville, but could not get a boat
to carry them to Monrovia. News OF
the disturbances was carried to Mon
rovia by native runners. Shortly after
the missionaries reached Greenville
the American scout cruiser steamed
into the bay, landed 200 native soldiers
and took the missionaries on board.
