Luke McLuke Says

Our idea of a good fnancicr is a husband who is smart enough to pay his wife a regular salary not to ask him fer any money.
 Maybe it is a good thing that a mans facilities for kicking himself are so hopcicssly inadequate. If they were not most Of us would have to stand up to eat our meals.
 As soon as her husband begins to make some money a woman isn't satisfied until she purchases some genuine Louis Quince furniture tha. was made in Grand Rapids, Mich.
 Us poor male dubs will have to wear smoked glasses this Spring. The styles for the dear girls call for Sport Silks and Khak-Kool and Rockies and Shantuns that are al- most as quiet as Verdun on a busy day. The Sport Silks are a cross between rainbow with the D. T,'s a Kaleidoscope with the jcrries and deIirious cubist painting.
 It used to be that when detectives were up against a crime mystery they started out to find the Woman. But nowadays they start out to find the Other Woman.
 It seems sort of tough that our poor old Grandpaws and Grandmaws had to die and go to hell because in those days there were no three ring circus cyangelsts to tell Grand paw and Grandmaw what orey-eyed skunks they were, and 10 make them crawl around in the sawdust So poor old Grand paw and Grandmaw, in their benightcd ignorance, were .gatisncd to read the Bible and listen Ito the Word of God in a common, or dinary Church, and failed of Salva- ton because the Preacher couldn't throw haudsprings and the choir couldn't sing Nearer, My God, To Thee" to the tune of "ThercW Be a Hot Time in the old Town To- night"
 What doth it profit a man to re- solve to quit swearing and then get up in the morning and hunt for his other neckte and discover that it is in the dresser drawer all tangled up in two pounds of his wife's store hair and a yard or two of her odd combings?
 The reason why most of our pray

A ISLANDER LAW

Fairbanks Citizcn)
 AS time rolls along and more people come to Alaska, the usual quota of scandal mOngers and slanderers. as enough did not already exist here being included it becomes apparent that Alaska needs islander law" Not a law dealing in criminal Nbel-we already have that under United States laws but a law which will compel man or woman, no matter who, to prove derogaOry statements they may make concerning other people or else suffer the con sequence at the hands Of the law.
 This is the kind of law that would suggest to the members of the next Territorial Legislature, which COnyenes in March, the only means Of stop ping the inceSSant tongue-wagging on the part Ol scandal mongers people who make it habit of talk. ing about somebody else when nine times out of ten they do not know anything about whereof they speak We would include in this statements relative to Deo as those regarding people who are boldly named in connection with slandeTOus talk
 Professional scandal mongerS, Of which breed there are many, not the only ones who spread sanderous reports although such reports usually or iginate with them. They almost always caused by the fact that said scandal mOnger has it in for his victim and has other way of getting revenge for some imagined wrong done him. The professional scandal monger usually shields himself by starting the story in a whisper l wouldn't tell this 10 any, one in the world but you" is his comment.
 And so the scandal ball passes along gaining in momentum and size corresponding Co snow ball rolled down steep hill a "thawing' day. For, as it is talked from person person, each who being that the smallest indscreet action on the part of the most innocent person in the world is eventual ly enlarged to enormous proportions.
 The pity of all is that the person who is being goes his way totally that he is being talked about or Slandered His friends aid in this, for. while they usually take up his defense, if such is needed they bend their efforts to keep him from learning that he is being talked about for fear that he will either worry 1t or get himself into deeper trouble

BRYANs REFERENDUM PLAN ABSURD

lIr Bryans proposal that there be no declaration of war until the matter is submitted to a referendum vote Of the people is absurdIy mpracticable AS long as war is recognized as of the methods of settling international disputes the government must have pow @. to act more expeditiOusly than referendum would permit Issues that cuImiuate in cause for war usually develop gradually but the question of war or peace. when things come to that stage. must be decided quickly. The constant changes in the status of the issues of an international crisis would make it practically impossible to cormtate the questions be submitted to the people And knowledge that the United States could not resort to to enforce her position in an international controversy until vote were taken would weaken the hands of those who were conducting the American end of the ncgotia tions and strengthen the hands of those conducting the negotiations against
 Then the need for such referendum is absolute ly lacking No President or Congress has rushed the people into an uniustifa5le unpopular The past No President or Congress has ever rushed the people into an uuiustiiiable or unpopular war The people have always gone to great pains in making selections of Presidents and usually they have done SO in selecting Congress- We choose them for the purpose of representing in all matters Of govern ment and to stand for before the world, and that is why We thresh out the questions affecting their qualifications so thoroughly before the elections Ex per.ence has shown us that the rights of the people have been fairly well guarded the one hand, and

DOING GOOD THE WRONG WAY
lSeward GatewaYl

Delegate WiCkersham is supposed to be an eXpOn- ent of home rUle but if he is his action in regard Co the bone dry" law just passed by both Houses Of Congress was not COnSisant
 Over year ago there talk in Washington ot rushing an Alaskan prohibition act through Con- gress and at that time the writer protested the ground that the wet and dry question one to be settled by the people, and that for outside legis- latve body to thrust it upon Alaska was an insult. Also that until Congress voted the District of COlum- ba dry had nerve to talk about prohibition else where.
 The better advised solons at that time warded off action and gave the people a chance to vote on the question: and they voted dry by something like two to one
 We have partial home rule in Alaska, in fact the very election by which the people voted dry was provided for by bill passed by our Territorial Legi5- lature Having displayed some ability Congress might do well to it's trust in Aaskas territorial body by adding .O its powers. CThat territorial fish law was souch bit of legislation in itSelf-and it's barely possible that could have congregated enough grey matter at Juneau to get by a dry lawJ
 The consistent thing for Wickersham to have done then was to have presented bill 10 Congress empowering the Territorial Legislature to enact a prohibitory law. His course of action implies that he lacked faith in the Territoi"l Legislature, and that action by the National Legislature was imperative to prevent the Territorial body from thwartng the will of the people by passing law with jokers in it.
 The District Of Columbia is still wet sousy wet the with great show of devout faith in the blessings of prohibition passed iron clad, Harvey Death Valley itself must have turned green with envy ito enforce somebody else.
 It's good dry law, and the same bill passed by the Territorial Legislature would be most welcome to those in Alaska who voted dry. But there is such a thing doing good thing the wrong way,
