TWO GOOD HIGHWAY MEASURES.

From the Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
The Georgia senate passed last week bill
requiring all the counties of the state TO
have placed at all cross roads signboards in
dicating the points to which the roads lead.
This will be a decided advantage to travel
ers, and is far less hurtful and more useful
than are some of the laws that will probably
be passed before the final adjournment An
other law that will do some good has passed
namely that all automobiles, motorcycles,
even gasoline engines, must have muffiers-
every kind of vehicle that uses gasoline as
motive power must have the muller.

Friendship.

You can buy, if you've got the money, all
you need to eat and drink;
You can pay for bread and honey, and you
can keep your palate sweet;
But when trouble comes to fret you, and
when sorrow comes your way.
For the the gentle hand of friendship that
you need you cannot pay.
You can buy with gold and silver things
you've got to have to wear;
You can purchase all that's needful when
your skies are bright and fair;
But when the clouds begin to gather and
when trouble rules the day
Your money doesn't lure a friend worth
while to come your way
For the hand that's warm and gripping and
the heart that's tender, too,
Are what all men living sigh for when
they're sorrowful and blue.
For there's nothing that's so soothing and
so comforting right then
AS the gladly given friendship of a fellows
fellOwmen.
A hand upon your shoulder and a whispered
word of cheer
Are the things that keep you going when
your trouble time is here;
And you'll hate the gold you've gathered
and the buildings that you own
If you have to bear your troubles and your
sorrows all alone.
If you're served a golden idol you will get
as your reward
All the Injuries of living that the coins of
gold afford.
But you'll be the poorest mortal and the
saddest in the end
When the clouds of trouble gather-and
you're hungry for friend.

From the Savannah News.

women have been attacked by sharks, but

The mutations of politics create align
ments that often separate men who would
otherwise be en- rapport and find satisfac-
ton in such condition, and vice versa. Such
is true to very noticeable extent in the pres
ent gubernatorial campaign. Even as poll
tics make strange bedfellows" so does 1t
separate men-simply because of politics.
That is the way the game is played.

thing more than sn apathetic interest This applies to every town in interior Alaska as well as ourselves.
 Endorsements from the various chambers of commerce and the people of the interior camps might help a n great deal in pushing the project along and. further. might do whole lot in the matter Of orsettinS the op- position or the transportation com paniss and others Interested in main aiming the present mall system. Ii 4s not to be doubted that the air service plan will meet with opposition from several quarters. particularly the transportation concerns doing business with the interior. to whom the loss of the mail contracts means the loss of considerable sum of money yearly
 It Is dollars and cents with them and also with those who are interested In the winter contracts. Their oppo- sition will probably not be apparent but they will surely be found contriv .ng by every m~ns In their power to stop the air service project.
 We may not be able to prevent them from throwing every possible obstacle m the way of the proposed mail ser vice but We can let the departmen. officials know that the air service plan .4as the endorsement of every one in he interior. This may not help much out 1t will at least go sarther in pressing the matter along than will an attitude of seeming indifference such as would be suggested by our .emaining silent especially when we are doing 90 much barking on a kind red subject. An endorsement of the nature suggested may seem futile probable will be futlle-but 1t would not cost s great deal and 1t might perchance, have the effect of encour- aging the departmental endeavors and also help in offsetting such influences as will certainly be brought to bear to prevent the plan reaching develop ment.

The fact that the unions are not recognized, no mat terz what good may work of the plan, will prove a fatal stumbling block. or else unionism must upset all its tradi tions.

NOME, ALASKA, FEB. F, 1916.

In view of the fight now being made to secure O more extensive mal ser vice, why would Il not be a good move for the chamber of commerce to tor. ward an endorsement of the postotfice department plan of inEtituting an aeliaI mall service to interior Alaska to the department heads in Washing ton?
 If the aerial mail service project is carried to successful conclusion i. will mean far more 10 the people ot interior Alaska than could possibly be expected from even the most radica. change in the present system of maj. delivery,
 With a biweekly air service in oper alton We would probably find not only relief from every inadequacy of the overland. dog and sled service. but would also have the mall brought to our doors with a promptness and regularity impossible under the pres ont methods either winter or summer
 According to the late dispatches. the department plan calls for the deliy. cry of mall at Nome within period of three or four days from the time of dispatch at the steamboat ternin als on the southeastern coast, thus assuring delivery of outside mall ma, ter at intervals of ten days or less after leaving Seattle.
 This means that by the air service we would have the pleasure of re- ceiylng our miszlges three times month and within ten days of coast dispatch. each and every month of t. year
 It doesn't take much reflection to perceive that thls would be an i'm provement of far greater value than could be achieved by any method present possible, save by direct rail communication.
 As 1t Is probable that trains will hot be running To Nome for many a long year il strikes the Nugget that 1t would be a good idea for every town in this section of Alaska, all of which will benefit by the innovation, to boost the project along by cableing an endorsement to the department. just to show that they are all in sympathy with the plan.
 It is probably true. as many will doubtless suggest, that the forwarding of an endorsement will have little effect in influencing the action of the department. Such remarks are to be expected from certain classes of peo- pie, but. while conceding the truth of the remark, 1t can also be maintained that even departmental officials are not above redshing a word of com mendation concerning their activities, especially from those in whose inter ests they are working.
 At the present time Nome and Fair banks are spending considerable money on letters and cables to outside parties asking assistance in securing a better mail ger ice so why not little more in endois'p plan that promises mere then our ion lest hopes could expect i"on' the present mall cystem
