TOO MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE.

In our opinion, we have too many irons in the fire to attend to them all, and we are likely to bungle while attempting to straighten them out with one lick.
 It is true that here in Alaska, we have nothing to do with the election of the President over which great political battle is being fought, yet the interest we manifest in the battle draws our attention away from our affairs, which is the study of the issues that will be presented for decision less than two weeks hence. Common sense and experience will evince the truth of this statement. We have too many vital ques- tions which must be digested thoroughly before anyone can act intelligently. For instance, be- sides the presidential battle the Alaskans must elect delegate to congress. In this Division we have to elect Senator and four Representatives, an Attorney General, a Road Supervisor, decide whether Alaska should be dry or wet and that fool eight-hour law. How many of us have had time or took the trouble to study all these ques- tions? We dare say precious few. Yet in less than two weeks we shall decide all these Ques- tions Questions of the greatest importance Questions, that if We are not careful, may result in incalculabe injury to all of Us.
 Most of us console ourselves with the fact that
The daily progressive-miner., 1916-10-26

should we mistake in the selection of our off cials, we can select others at the next election. Likewise, if we decide that Alaska should be dry and later we have reason to repent, we can have another election to repeal the law and mend the defects. The same for the eight-hour law. This is the method adopted by what are known now as the Nut states. Notably Kansas Wash ington and Oregon. These states have passed laws for any old thing. Soon some discovered they were hit then trouble started. In these states the voters are constantly kept in hot wa ter, as it were, and the reformers-for good or evil-are busy.
 We have still several days before we are call ed upon to decide these questions Let us think them over. Let us decide wisely and avoid the unpleasant appellation of Nut territory. Let us profit by others experience.

GOODNIGHT CARRANZA.

Dispatches from Washington yesterday stat ed that the Mexican government was "tottering." 4 report was being circulated that Carranza was about to vamose-eliminate himself. In other words, make himself scarce and at the same time hard to catch.
 We'll, it's about all that anyone had right to expect Carranza himself was never very solid on his pins, and President Wilson, his sole sup port has also proven himself weak in the knees, and naturally was practically no support at all. Now with the election approaching bringing along all the indications that spell defeat of the present administration, Carranza can see his fin ish. He can see that he stands as much chance to remain whole as snow ball in hade. Let the Republicans take charge of our country's affairs and the dissection of the High Chief will proceed with vigor. Which means Goodnight Carran- za.'

The class of men referred to in our comment yesterday under the head of Tt Speaks We'll of J. R." was not intended for the men working for Mr. Hickman in any capacity. Far from it. as it is we'll known that his employees are entirely de voted to his best interests in every respect. He pays them well, he treats them well and he has the goodwill of them all. Besides they are not the class of men who could be traitors to their employers But Mr Hickman is not the only employer of labor in Ketchkan. Be that as it may, MT. Heckmans employees were far from our mind when the comment was written, therefore, no apology is needed.

LINER VERDE CARRIES
TWO MOUNTED GUNS
State Department Will Take Up Ques-
tion of This Armament with Ital-
ian Government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The state
department probably will take up with
the Italian government the question of
guns mounted on the liner Giuseppe
Verde with a view to having the
pieces dismounted before the ship
leaves American waters. The Verde
arrived at New York today from
Genoa, Naples and Palermo carrying
two four-ineh naval guns mounted in
the stern. Passengers said they under
stood the Italian government had been
responsible for the mounting of these
guns, which were intended to repel any
submarine that might have attacked
the steamship in the Mediterranean.
After leaving Palermo on Dec. "a all
lights on the Verde were carefully
concealed and during the daytime the
steamer covered roundabout course
for the purpose of avoiding hostile
submarines.
Officers reported having encountered
terrific northwest and west gales dur
ing which the high seas smashed sew
eral of the liner s lifeboats.
Gunners of the royal italian navy
were in charge of the two guns on the
Verde, according to the captain. After
the vessel left Palermo daily practice
was held with the guns, barrels having
1 been thrown overheard as targets. The
guns were placed in the Verde by or
der of the Italian naval authorities. but
/ the captain says he was instructed to
use them for defensive purposes only.

10000 MILES OF TRENCHES.
Correspondent S Computation of West
ern Front Alone.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-There are al
least 10000 miles of trenches now in
the western theater of the European
war, according to II. Warner Allen,
special correspondent of the British
press with the French army. He
writes:-
= In the section of the French lines
that l have just been visiting there
are already, on a front of just over
10 miles, 375 kilometers COR slightly
over 234 miles, of trenches. To make
certainty still more sure another 70
kilometers Cor 46 miles, of other
trenches are being dug, so that by the
end of the year there win be in that
neighborhood 2s0 miles of trenches on
10 miles of front
- Elsewhere a certain division has
$50 miles Of trenches to look after,
while a certain corps 4 'armee has $50
miles. Taking these figures into con
sideration, one will certainly be under
the mark il estimating that there are
20 miles of trenches to every mile of
front, so that between Switzerland and
the North sea the British and French
armies have at least 10000 miles of
trenches to guard and keep in order.

Speaks Strongly of the Need
of Revising the State
Constitution
TOO GREAT INCREASE
IN STATE EXPENSES
New Executive Believes Many of the
State Commissions Could Be Dis
pensed With-Discusses Relations of
Railroads to the Public.

BOSTON, Jan. 6. - Five years of
Democratic administration IN Massa-
chusetts, ended with the Inauguration
today of the successful Republican
candidate at the last election, Gov
Samuel W. Mccall, and Lieut. Gov
Calvin Coolidge. The oath of office was
administered to the governor and lieu
tenant governor in joint convention of
the house and senate.
Immediately afterward salute of
II guns on Boston common gave public
notice of the qualification of the new
chief executive.
In his inaugural address Gov Me
Call directed particular attention to
the need of convention to revive
the state constitution. No constitu-
tional convention, he said has been
held in Massachusetts since 1853. 1t
is doubtful if another period of his
tory of equal length can be found
more characterized by social and in
dustrial change than the 90 years that
have elapsed since that time.
q believe the time has come when
