Senator Frank AIdriCh Says Many Laws Must Be Changed and New
 Ones Made.
A GOOD ADVISOR
Attorney General GrigSby Will Be Called Upon to Advise Upon
 Questions.

Now that the people of the Terri
 tory have had a opportunity to
 witness the actual workings of the
 session laws as passed by the last
 two Legislatures and the Legisla-
 ture has an attorney general to ad-
 wise their members about amend
 ments necessary to the laws, the
 coming session of the Territorial
 Legislature, during the months of
 March and April, should principally
 be taken up in fixing the laws al. ready passed, according to a state ment made by Senator Frank A. Al drich, of Nome. holdoyer Senator from the Second Division.
 "In my opinion" said Mir Al. drich, several of the session laws already passed have been tried and found wanting, while others which are almost necessities have been found to be absolute failures. Take for instance the election law. Elec. tiOns laws should be passed which will require an absolute check on the vote and should make mistakes impossible. There should be pro- vision in the law which makes it i'm possible for the clerks of the court of the different divisions 10 place their own interpretation.
 At the last general election, the clerks of the courts in each of the different divisions made different rulings and the returns from no two of the divisions were handled the same. I think the law should also provide for duplicate certificate of the returns to be filed with the clerk of the court at the same time the pay rolls are sent in which would allow candidates and the gen. eral public to know who is elected, without depending on vague and un. official rumors Of returns from the outlying precincts. This certificate would also allow a check on the re- turns, in case the regular returns to the canyassing board should get lost in the mail
 "We have an efficient Attorney General now and 1t is his duty to point out shortcomings in the laws which have been passed and to aid us in passing new laws or amendments, !. which will make the present laws workable. This is something which ! we have never had before and mis- takes have been made which have been vital to the Territory.
 Among the first legislation which | must be taken care of is the ap- propriations for the roads and schools | and special regulations to handle the schools. The cities of the Ter ritory will lose thousands of dollars through the closing of the saloons, | and as many of the cities will be | hard hit to have to make up the deficit for their schools, think the Territory as a whole should pass an adequate school law with sufficient appropriations to carry all schools, whether outside or inside Of the in- corporated towns.
 "A bill will also be introduced pro- viding for an Alaskan Territorial National Guard and also a o)ast Ar fUlery Reserve Corps under the au- thority Of the act recently passed by Congress. This is something which We have wanted for a number of years, but have never been able to get on account Of not having suf- ficient backing from the formation of a regiment" he said.

new PICKET BANNERS
GIVEN A STIFF BOW
President Has Serious Mien When He
Sees Own Words Flaunted in Face.

Suffragists are wondering why Presi-
dent Wilson didn't smile yesterday when
he saw the new ''suff'' banners bearing
his own words on the subject of human
liberty. The New York delegation that
arrived yesterday morning was in high
hopes of at least receiving the custo-
mary gracious smile from the Presi-
dent, but the disappointment was keen
when he merely glanced at the new flags
and lifted his hat in cold manner.
Prominent New York "suffs" said last
night that regardless of the ridicule that
the present campaign has brought from
some people the fact remains that their
efforts are being appreciated by many
who are far away from the scene of
sentinel duty. They declared that a
crowd Of New Workers. accompanied them
to the train to wish them Gods speed
on their journey.
The silent sentinels will stand by their
posts until the usual retiring hour today,
but they are anticipating the holi-
day occasioned by tomorrow being Sun
day. When asked II they were getting
weary of the vigil, the pickets on the
job yesterday were emphatic in their an
swer that they expected to hang around
the White House like Grant did around
Richmond.

ceptance from the State executives whom

day from the West End Citizens Asso-
citation, but Maj Gen. Hugh L. Scott and

pants, Il viii be best to terminate Il as

Would Allow Executive
To Veto Items IN Bills

The Chamber Of Commerce of the
United States has gone on record by a
large vote In favor of an amendment
to the Constitution of the United States
which would permit the President Q.
approve or disapprove any specific items
or provisions contained in any ap-
proriation bill. This was accomplished
by means of referendum. 1t Is said
the proposed legislation which has been
so strongly indorsed has for its main
point of attack the lack of power of
the Chief Executive to veto so-called
pork barrel legislation.
As indicated by the preliminary count,
