BUSINESS BOOMING IN STATES SAYS
 CHARLES GOLDSTE!N

Business is 0oom-2s ,a the States" said Charles Goldstein, pro- prietor of Goldstein's Emporium, who has just returned from a pro longed visit to Seattle and other coast cities
 wholesalers and jobbers are hay ing great deal of difficulty to fi.l their orders" he said. This is par ticularly noticeable in the grocery line The demand for foodstuffs is greater than it has been in a gen. eration. and the cereal crops were shorter this year than for the last several years"
 MT. Goldstein says that interest in Alaska remains at a high pitch in the States, and he looks for a good year in 1917 "I find a marked im- proyement in the business conditions at Juneau since l returned, and I expect it to continue for a long time."
 Mir. Goldstein was Ill while in se- attle, and underwent an operation while there. He returns improved in health, and says he never felt better.

Well Known Engineer Is off to New Fields and
 His Successor

Charles Bruff. we'll known engin. ger and designer of large milling plans, will leave Juneau on one of the next boats for the south. He will first go to San Francisco and later from there to Arizona where he will assume charge of the con struction on one of the large mill ing plants being erected.
 Mir Bruff is Q well known man in his profession and has gained much fame as one of the designers and builders of the bis mill of the Alas ka Gastineau Company at Thane. He and associates are also the de- signers and builders of the big mills of the Alaska-Jmeau Gold Mining Company. Nr. Bruff is one of the members of the firm of Bradley Bruff & Labarthe. mill designers and engineers of San Francisco.

F0oDSTUFF PRICES
 ARE ADVANCING WITH
 LEAPS AND BOUNDS

It is an off day when the Juneau merchants do not get adyices of an advance in the price of some com modity, and usually the advance is in the price of several.
 Today word was received of an additional advance in the price of floar and sugar. Yesterday 1t was the same-both flour and sugar were advanced.
 Today flour in Seattle is quoted at $79O a barrel. and sugar at S76O per 100 pounds.
 Unless an export tax is put on the foodstuffs, l fear that prices will be beyond reach before spring" said a leading Juneau grocer today. "In fact" he continued, it may come to a point where many articles of food will not be for sale at all. We can only get part of our orders filled now"

Wiekershamites Seek To Deceive
 The Wickersham party is busily engaged in flooding the First Divis- ion with spurious Republican" sam pie ballots. Local supporters Of Wickersham have had printed sam- pie ballots with the name of James Wickersham and all the Republican candidates marked with an x" be- fore them. While the printed sam pie ballot does not contain the le- gend that they were issued by the Republican committee. and the word Republican" is left off. the ballots are stamped by a rubber stamp Re publican Sample Ballot"
 The purpose Of the deception is to induce the Republican voter to whom is given one of these spurious Repub- lican ballots to believe that Wick ersham is a Republican candidate. He will find at the top of the ballot the rubber stamp legend "Republi- can Sample Ballot" Under this is the instruction:
 gro vote a straight ticket mark official ballot, which will be handed the voter inside the voting place, the same way as this sample ballot. An x in the square to the left of any name shows the voters inteu- ton to vote for the name Of the candidate to the right of the x"
 Under this instruction he will find x" printed before the names of Wickersham as well as before the names of Heckman, Benson, Free burn. Peid, Mccormack. Hurlbut and Schofield
 The Ticket Is. a Fraud
 The voters getting one Of these ballots should understand that 1t is a fraud. The Republican party has no candidate for Delegate to Congress, and it has been announced officially that no Republican will lose regularity by voting for Charles A. Sulzer for Delegate to Congress.

 On the other hand. while they are seeking to deceive the Republicans in a manner that Republicans are likely to resent, the Wickersham- ties by this move have said in ei- feet. that they do not want the votes of Democrats. They have marked their Wickersham ballots against Tanner Anderson. Bayless. Casey Connors. Early and Grigsby.

5 Sunkuram Chiefly ST.,
Madras, E., Dec. 3 1915. :
To the President of the Tuskegee
Institute, U. s. America.
Dear Sir:-The news of the
death of the late President and
founder of your institution, the
great Booker II. Washington, was
a very few days back rece. we'd in
this country, it was all SO unexpec-
ted and SO the sense of loss is
doubly unwelcomed, though in a
certain real manner there is moth
ing like death to a great man.
While still the indefatigable, ever
hopeful spirit of the noble leader
and worker is amid you and has
come to these distant shores to live
amid us. 1t is meaningless to
speak of death and loss, but yet
how sad we feel and how much
more you all there!
We felt it great privilege that
we are able to organize public
meeting in our city in honor of the
great man. Many gathered TO
honor the noble soul We haG a
set of very fine addresses. Among
the speakers We had one who had
just come from America and saw
Booker Washington, and has a
reminiscence in small signature.
| am asked to communicate to you,
tne members and students of the
Tuskegee Institute and also to the
members of the family of the late
Washington, the fact that we deep
ly feel for the loss you sustain in
his death and that our deepest
sympathy is with you. How much
we all wish that the great work he
had undertaken will reach ever
new phases of growth.
We feel SO much touched when
we remember that he sent to our
library a fine gift in his book

(By Jonathan Cover

A number of interesting ques-
tions are developed from a study
of the Census tables showing the
growth of material evidences of
Christianity among Negroes, to
which the attention of readers of
the Statesman may perhaps be
called with profit.
One of these is the apparent ex-
traordinary discrepancy between
the numerical and financial strength
of the two dominating Negro relig-
ious bodies in America.
Among many persons usually
well informed, the opinion is held
that the great Methodist church,
embracing the three branches. the
A. M. E., the A. M. E. Zion and
the Colored Methodist Episcopal,
are considerably ahead of their
Baptist brethren in those essen
tials which, in a material way en-
phasize the strength and prosper
ity of religious bodies as they do
those institutions which are cast
in distinctively secular mold and
whose activities are shaped and di-
rected only toward financial gain
and independence. p
As a matter of fact the figures
of the Census carry exactly the
opposite information and in the
matter of visible physical elements
of prosperity, the Baptist bodies
under the general appellation of
the National Baptist Convention,
are shown to be an institution of
much larger girth and financial
weight.
In the matter of mem bership the
Baptist bodies are credited with
2,26l, ,607 members and the A. M
E. 494,777; the A. M. E. q. 1884,
$40 and the g. NJ. E. 172, 1896, a
total of o52,315, which is but
slightly moro than a third OF the
formers membership.
In the matter of Church proper
ty the Baptists are credited with
total valuation of 24,437,272.
The A M. E. 11,3O3 ,4s9; the A.
M. E. Zion 1888, ,2O7; the Colored
M. E. 3,Ol7,S49, a total of 1854
545 or a little more than two thirds
of the former.
Now it is not at all certain that
these figures should be taken as
conclusive evidence that the Bap
pist brethren are much more astute
and far-sighted in the dual profess.
ion of collecting and investing the
dollars of their members, for it may,
not meau anything of the kind.
There are however number of
things it may mean, it may mean
that the Methodists, following the
teachinge of their illustrious and
pious founders, John and Charles
Wesley, have more seriously and
sedulously devoted their time and
attention to the spiritual needs of
their people-striving to build up
a strong spiritual Organization, to
