NEW KIND OF EDUCATION"

NEW KIND OF EDUCATION"
THE efforts Of seventy-fve brewing
corporations under indictment for
the illegal use Of money in the Con-
gressional campaign of 1914 to have
the Federal Corrupt Practices Act
declared void in the United States
District Court at Pittsburg should
be watched with wide interest. 1t is
maintained in their behalf that the
campaign carried on by the brewing
interests was educational, not cor
rupting. But if brewing corporations
are permitted, in spite of the Federal
status, to spend money in national
or Congressional elections for educa-
! ! tional purposes of their own, why
not national banks, railroads and in
dustrial corporations that hope to
persuade voters to elect an Admins
tration and a Congress that will be il
sympathy with their own financial
rate-regulation and tariff views anc
lrespond to their wishes?

MEXICO'S BUSINESS STEAD
lily ON THE INCREASE

SOME Of our pessimists, who have
claimed that Mexico was not growing
and prospering, will have to take back
seats since the unprecedented trade
our merchants enjoyed during this
month. Every merchant in Mexico,
that we have talked with, had the
largest trade last week of any week
that they have ever had in business
and Saturdays trade was the biggest
kind of surprise all along the line.
Mexico is growing and prospering
in a substantial, conservative way, as
| It has never done before. Stop your
knocking and help push. That's the
way to make city.

POPULAR MECHANICS SHOWS
 PROF. PARKER'S INVENTION

Popular Mechanics for February carries an illustration of the invention known as the Helioscope, which is the child of the brain of a man who is now in this city, Professor Herschell Parker The Helioscope is, roughly, a searchlight which is projected through the water and can be used for locating mines or even rocks. The Clamp" is placed on the bow of a vessel and the shaft goes down the side into the water. The observer looks through the instrument from the deck and his line of vision fol- lows the search light through the shaft and on through the water. The light can penetrate and illumine the water for a distance of several hun dred feet. The British government through its Washington embassy has the invention in it's possession now. The patent was granted since Mir. Parker came back to Seward.

KETCHIKAN TO HAVE
 A POSTAL BANK

KETCHIKAN. - Instructions have been received from the post office de- partment stating that the Ketchikan post office will become a postal saw ing bank on April 1st, 1916. The local post office gives out the follow ing information for the benefit of those who may be interested:
 The postal bank allows anyone to start an account with any amount from $1 up. Ten cents at a time may also be saved by purchasing for a dime a postal saving card to which is attached ten cent postal saving stamp. After nine more stamps have been added the card may be turned in at the post office and a certificate of deposit for $1 is issued. This idea of saving 10c at time has always been great thing for the children wherever a postal saving bank has been established. Any child 10 years of age and over may open an account in his or her own name.
 When a deposit is made in the postal bank, certificates for the amount are issued. These certificates may be cashed at any time but are not transferable. They must be cash ed by the person to whom they are is- sued All deposits bear interest at the rate of 2 per cent One hundred dollars is the total amount which may be deposited by any one person in one month and limit of 800 has been placed as the total amount which any one may have on depOsit.-Progres- sive Miner,

Labor Committee
 Waits On Official
Weir Says Wages Here Probably the
 Same as Anchorage.

Messrs. Patten, Miller and Wilkie formed a committee which waited yesterday afternoon on R. J. Weir, engineer in charge of the railroad .4ere, to represent the labor union which was formed at a meeting held some evenings ago in the City hall. During the discussion Mir. Weir ex- pressed the belief that the wages here would be undoubtedly fixed at the same scale as the wages around An chorage but Mir. Wilkie insisted on getting this statement in writing, a suggestion that was apparently of fensive to Mir. Weir who informed the committee then and there that his word was as good as any written doc ument and he finished by declaring the conference at an end. Mir. Wilbie, it is also said, declared that the wages in Seward should be twenty per cent higher than at Anchorage as, he stated, living expenses here are high CT. The interview is said to have waxed rather warm and Mir. Wilde expressed the opinion that he had been discharged recently from the railroad employ because of his labor activities, statement that Mir. Weir is said to have indignantly denied.
 At the close of the conference Mir. Patten, who was chairman of the labor meeting in the City hall, assert ed that he also had been discriminat- ed against and could not receive em- ployment from the government off cials. He asserted that he had this on reliable authority but for answer Weir came out plump with an offer of a job for Patten, and not only a job but boss job, which MT. Patten accepted on the advice of Mir. Will1ie
 This job is to run a gang of ten men out at Mile 26 clearing. The crew was secured this morning and Mir. Patten will soon be in harness. The close of the meeting is said not to have been at all satisfactory but the Board of Consolidation and Arbitration will probably fix the whole matter up.
