THE POLITICAL SILLY SEASON

Republican National Committeeman McGregor as- serts that the Republicans have good chance of car rying Texas this year. The Pittsburgh Post says the Democrats have fine chance to carry Pennsyl- yania No doubt some enthusiasts are predicting that Woodrow Wilson will get the electoral vote of Vermont while other optimists will advance the mo- ton that Mississippi and Florida will give Mir. Hughes their support
 It is the usual thing. Shrewd politicians them selves are not immune to the inneunce of Luna in her summer peregrnations around the earth. Some political Quidnucs think it wise policy to claim everything in sight" during the days when men gasp for air and dogs with their tongues hanging out
 It does no harm. It adds to the scant gaiety Of the nation. But when cooler weather comes along and the builders Of beautiful Castilan castles are negected-when newspapers. filled to re- petion with real political news. find no place for these yagares-it might be suggested to these ngen' ions inventors in order further to divert gray old world that they devise some method of sQuaring the circle or another Of insurng perpetual motion

HOME BUYING THE KEY

Home buying is the key that will open more doors leading to community development than any one thing that is within the reach of everybody. Home buying does not only the expansion Of the stores and industries to which the home patron age is giyen-and thus the employment of more saesmen and deliverymen and other store-help. and work for the carpenter and the plumber and electric ian and others engaged in the building trades and work and business for those engaged in selling builders materials and so on until it reaches the last man in town-but it means that more money
 will stay at home and the local banks will have lar ger depoos and be better prepared to lend money to the builders Of houses and thus another chain of employment that goes through the list to the last man in town. Home buying is the little stone that starts as pebble and develops into the completed sow-man that Is the delight Of its creators. It is the ERegstone- SAe work community building. It would do a great deal to make Gastineau Channel better and bigger.

RATS!

Mir Hughes says he would have settled the threat ened railway strike by recognizing the principle or arbitration and through legislation based upon care ful investigation of all the facts but would not have rushed an eighthour law through Congress as an emergency act under pressure. Rats!
 The railroad strike was called. and the railroads would have been tied up last Monday had Congress not interyened The President already had got the railroad workmen to postpone the strike from August 20. and ten days ago the railroad owners and em- ployees were no nearer together than they were in the beginning.
 Em6argoes had been declared Railroads were refusing to accept perishable freight Foodstuffs were mounting sky highward in New York, Chicago and other large cities. The suffering had already been tasted Investigation disclosed that many Ameri- can industries were about to close. Complete para lysis was staring the country in the face.
 The American people have already hailed the Presidents course in this matter the statesman like act Of cearyisioned and courageous leader or the people in a time of great stress.

WORSE AND MORE OF IT

 Delegate Wlckersham deals his Alaska packers of the Democratic persuasion another body blow when in an interview at Seattle he roundly roasts the administration He declares President Wilson and his party members are viciously unreasonable, and otherwise takes a rap at the only party which has done more for Alaska in four years than the Re pubcans have in twenty.
 It is plainly evident that the Delegate very little for his Progressive Democratic nomination or for those who nominated him. and it leaves Honest John" and his party in rather embarrassing situation John will find it extremely difficult to reconcile his protestations that he and his followers the only Democrats in Alaska with his support of Wickersham, and it will take little explanation to convince the people that he, a strong Wilson man according to his own statements, discover any grounds for supporting Wickersham in view of his Seattle state ments It is very unkind of the Delegate to say the least to put his Progressive packers in such em- barrassng position.

It is interesting to compare the economic condi ton of a town like Seward any other Alaskan town with town of equal size in civilized" coun tries. In the civilized country many of the people of the small towns have as their chief aim in life the work of getting enough to eat and dress them selves. In Alaskan town there is so much fish are tired of it. AS a rule you either embarrass people here by offering them game fish. They do not want it.
