Mule Is Barber's S Alibi
 for Sunday Shaving

Des Moines, Ia. Shaving is not labor, but necessity, and the state has no right to deny a man the privileges granted a mule, according to a brief filed in the state supreme court here by at torneys for a Davenport, Ia., bar Der, arrested on complaint of the barber's union for keeping his shop open on Sunday. If a man can curry mule on Sunday, he has right to have his own head curried, in a manner of speaking, says the brief.

Young Lady Writes
 Peter Mccormack
 Rather Prematurely

Peter Mccormack has received letter from young lady solicit ing his support in securing her ap- pointment as expressing clerk at the next session of the Alaska leg islature. In his acknowledgement of the letter Mir. Mccormack re- minded the fair applicant that this is only the fourth week after the election and he does not know yet if he is elected.
 Mir. Mccormack stated to the Sentinel reporter that he conf- dently expected that the returns would all be in before the legis- lature convenes, and that in case he is elected he would be glad to give the young lady's application as careful consideration as is pru- dent for a married man.

SALVATION ARMY
 CONGRESS CLOSES
Capt. Smith of Local Salvation Army to Be Transferred to New Field.

The Native Salvation Army con- gress for Alaska has been in ses- ion in Wrangell for the past week, Commissioner Sowton of Winni- peg, presiding.
 Staff Captain ". Peacock, young peoples secretary for Vest ern Canada and Alaska, was also present, and took an active part in the congress.
 Native delegates were present from number of towns in South eastern Alaska. However, owing to the stormy weather which ren. dered travelling in small boats dis agreeable, there were not as many delegates present as were expect ed.
 The reports from different towns and villages showed that the work of the Salvation Army among the Natives in Alaska IS forging ahead, the gains reported from some quarters being larger than was ex- pected.
 The most significant matter in connection with the convention was the Announcement made by Com missioner Sowton just before ad- journment that he had decided to transfer Captain Robert Smith from the native work in Alaska to the white work in another field, the transfer to be made next June.
 This announcement comes as a surprise to the people of Wrangell who have learned to look upon Captain and Mrs. Smith as per manent residents.
 It is we'll known that it is the policy of the Salvation Army to broaden its workers by giving them a varied experience. Captain Smith has. already served in his present position longer than it is customary for an officer to remain in one position. Doubtless he would have been transferred sooner
The Wrangell sentinel., 1916-11-30

had it not been for the nature of his work. Captain Smith has been faithful steward and has succeeded so we'll in his work that 1t will be difficult for the Commissioner to find an officer who can relieve him without the work of the Army in Alaska suffering in consequence.
 Captain Smith has been Over seer of the Native Work in Alaska with headquarters in Wrangell for the past B years. Before coming to Alaska he spent four years as a missionary among the Natives of British Columbia. When he leaves here next June he will have rounded out IS years of the best part of his | life in the service of the Army among the Natives of the North.
 On January 13 Captain Smith will join Brigadier Mclean at Ketchikan and the two officers will visit practically every Native town and village from Ketchikan to Haines.
 When Commissioner Sowton made the announcement of his in. tention to transfer Captain Smith he gave no intimation as to where he would be sent, further than that he would be placed in the white work. Thls leaves the natural supposi,iou that Captain Smith will be sent to some city of Vest ern Canada.

Thanksgiving and "Thanksliving."

To sing a Song oi thanks to God is inspiring; to live lite of service with your brother is improving the world. Were We less idealists We should View with fine satis- faction the sight of men and women differing in their religious beliefs, yet joining together in thanking God. What we plead for is not q yearly thanksgiving to God, but daily thanksliving with God. Our aim is not content to See men sit together once year, banishing prejudice and hatred, but to be- hold them at work together, every oay in the year absolutely for- getting religious differences, ig- noring theological doctrines and judging man by his conduct, not prejudging him by his creed or race. The celebration of this day is highly to be commended. It stands as the highest expression of present day religioue observance, yet its true worth is only achieved when we carry into the entire year what the day symbolizes to us all. Thanksgiving is praiseworthy, but thanksliving is divine. Rev. Dr. Rudolph I. Coffee, Pittsburgh.

Mr. Erickson has ar ranged to bring his basket ball team north in January and games have practically been arranged between the A. B. team and with those of the various mining con- panies.
 Incidentally, it is very probable that Prof. Henderson will take the local basket ball players to Ketchikan during the Christmas holidays for game at the first city, according to the announce ment this afternoon of Mir.

SULZER'S LEAD IS
 REDUCED TO THIRTEEN
(Juneau Dispatchl


 According to the telegram receiv- ed last evening the koyukuk dis trict gave Wickersham a majority of IS votes and cuts down the ma iority of Sulzer to 5 for the terri tory.
 The telegram follows:
 Fairbanks, Nov. 23,-All pre- cincts koyokuk, Wickersham 6I. Sulzer 43, Lewis 5.
 The koyokuk vote also reduces the lead of Sulzer in the fourth division from 26 votes toll The Fourth Division Is now practically complete, as is the First Division.
 There are about 12 precincts to be heard from in the Third Division and in the Second Division Mar shall City and Point Barrow are the most important unreported precincts.
 In order to win, MT. W Nickersham must overcome the I3 vote major ity now held by Sulzer from the unreported precincts. The Dem ocrats are counting on getting enough votes from Marshall City to win. The Wickersham support CTS, on the other hand, believe that since Dan Sutherland campaigned Marshall City for Wickersham, the latter will get the majority,
 From the other precincts is re- ported in the Third, there is every reason to believe that Wickersham will get the percentage in his favor. However, in case the vote is a 50 majority one way or the other, the official canvass must again be taken into consideration. There may be thrown out precincts in case the law has not been compiled with in giving the necessary notice, and it now begins to look as though every vote will be precious. Indeed, it is possible that even one vote might decide the delegate election Of Alaska.

Entertaining Lecture By Commissioner
 Charles Sowton


 Salvation Army Warfare in Many Lands," by Commissioner Sowton at the Redmen hall Monday night was we'll attended. The speaker was introduced by Rev. H. P. Corser who presided as Chairman tor the occasion. In his introduc- tory remarks MT. Corser paid a fitting tribute to the great world organization known as the Sal vation Army, which considers as worth saving, the eoul of a fellow who is down and out, and which in countless ways lends assistance to the poor and unfortunate of earth.
 Commissioner Sowton had been well advertised. The audience were expecting to hear most in- teresting lecture. and their ex- pectations were more than realized.
 Commiss Sowton possesses remarkable descriptive powers. Following him in his masterly ad- dress was like taking a trip through some ofthe most interesting coun- tries of the world. The Com missioner first related some most unusual experiences in pioneer Army work in Norway.
 From Norway the Commissioner was sent to Denmark to become overseer of Army work iu that country and Iceland. It seemed almost nbelievable that there should have existed as much prel- udicn as was manifested by the Danes when the Army first begun it's activities in that Kingdom. But happily this prejudice was overcome, and even the crown prince became a contributor to the support ot the Army.
 Leaving Denmark Commissioner Sowton was placed in cbagre of Army work in Sweden. Here there was another battle against higotry and prejudice.
 From Sweden the Commissioner was sent to the United States, where for seven years he had charge of the Scandinavian work of the army in the United States. From the United States he was sent to India where for seven years he labored with the people of that be- nighted land. Some of his de- scriptions of conditions in India were most pathetic.
 Eighteen months ago when Can. ada was divided into two divisions Commissioner Sowton was trans ferred from India and placed in charge of the Army work for the Western half of Canada, which al- so embraces Alaska.
 Commissioner Sowton has a keen sense of humor and in the course of his lecture related many amusing incidents of Army war fare. His lecture was most en- tertaining and instructive. and the speak>r was given the closest at tention by the audience.

Basket Social Was
 A Money Getter

basket social Saturday night at the Rink for the benefit of the basketball team was splendid success. The affair was largely attended and hugely enjoyed by all present.
 As a money getter the basket social has no equal. It is unnec- essary for us to state who was the auctioneer. The people of Wran- gell can think of only one name in connection with the word auction eer, and on Saturday night this name received another smear of fame. The receipts from basket sales were $1I4.oo. This shows what can be done when there is a professional on the job.
 The chief amusement of the evening was dancing which was kept -ur till a late hour. The receipts of the evening were as follows:

by our men. That was war More
over, it was Il very i@nohle war. I
have heard three explanations of the

First. it was explained that it was
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the tiag-somcDody who had
lnSultcd us. But the flag was not sa-
lutcd and has not been to this day.
Then it was said that the salute was
not what we sought. but TO prevent
the landing Of boatload of ammuni-
ton intended for IIucrta. The nmmu-
milton landed, however. and it has
been shown that it reached Huerta
In due season without Interference on

"Whcn that reason was shown to
be untcnablc a third Onc-and possibly
the real Onc-fnally was advanced
1t was said that our seizure Of Vera
Cruz was a move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this is true. although we had
promised the McXicans that We would
not Interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.

not understand us and that is why
they show little faith in our PROMISES"
