Minnesota is not so distinctively rural

North Dakota does not have, yet the

pretty near have their own way.

DISSATISFIED REPUBLICANS

The territorial convention of the Republican party, which met in Seward last May, has been the cause of much recrimnation the part of dlssats- fled members of the grand old party throug bout Alaska No candidate for delegate has been chosen as yet by the committee to whose discretion that duty was delegated, and there are indications so far that the task will be performed An open letter to Ed Russell, editor of the Juneau Dispatch, by c. C. Hazeett published in the Cordova Times, voices the general dissatisfaction of the Republicans at the action of the convention, as dictated by the bosses. The letter IS Tn part as follows:

A QUEER ARGUMENT"

The discussion of the prohibition question: which is occupying so much space in Alaska newspapers at the present tune, IS developing some novel and amusing arguments among which the following from the Fairbanks News Miner IS noted:
 Temperance people who opposed to prohblon winch prohibits and drinking peo who want he!T ""N r'G" lay all are belief that they would like to see the manufacture liquor suppressed in the United States to see what To date they have one example of tee nqIn to consider Turkey about the only "dry country Tn ,ba .c;vile} world and while remember he any Turk who ever became Of Worid"l0e in letters mental diplomatic "cheyemehIS sun tue American cannot believe that would be different n our case The question much disturbance and trouble ln A' and the disposition from the un! !leaontneSS m he lea by cutting the problem through prohibiting the a''u' booze inherent in Americans o" to do It, nov % "5
 can do it and not take position alongside Turkey n the cV1e" word is the question, and It Is entirely u''oNe"'
 The inference IS, of course, that to shut off the supply of ntoxicants would tend to retrogre5slon on the part of Americans until they descended to the level of the Turks. We have been used so long to hearing about the "unspeakabIe Turk that the m- pression IS general that he IS of somewhat lower order of mentality than the more advanced nation alities. Yet the present world war has taught the enemies of the Turk to greatly respect hls pAySlca stamina, whatever may be thought oI hls nteIlec- ual attainments The fact that Americans, who really know comparatively little about the turks, may not readily recall the of the great ones ot that nation does not argue that Turkey has not pro- duced great men, But to intimate that the we'll known abstemiousness of the Mohammedans n the matter of alcoholic beverages IS responsible for an inferior mentality IS the height of absurdlty.
 Arguing transversely, the historic enemy of the Turk, the Russian, who prior to the war was noted for his incorporate use of alcohol, should be giant intellectually in comparison with the lurk And It is doubtful whether this can be shown.
 Let us hope, no matter what may be the outcome of the fight against alcohol, that its sponsors wlll not succeed in proving to us that the exhIaratng beverage IS necessary to our advancement and achievement.
