NOT AFFECT WAR POLICY

PARIS, Nov 16.-Simply family row and not affecting in any man ner the war policy of France is the way which President Poincare re- ferred to the French cabinet resig- nation in welcoming to Paris yester- day the delegation of American Con gressmen.
 He asked the members of the dele gation to convey his respects and the good will of France to President Wilson, and spoke of the cordial relations between the two countries. He said whatever may have been done by France in contributing to- wards the independence of the Unit cd States, was being repaid a thou sand fold, for which the French peo- pie would always revere the name of America
 The party then visited the Cham Der of Deputies and there again were informed by Speaker Des Cha nel that the French cabinet crisis was merely family row, caused ov- CT the operations of Bolo Pasha, the German spy who had operated il Paris, many criticising the govern ment for not taking more drastic action to squelch spy activities in Paris.

The nomination of Charles A. Sulzer for Delegate Congress, and the consequent selection of him for the leadership of the Alaska Democratic party, in response to demand that might be said to have been unanimous. AS it become known that he would accept the nomination and attendant leadership, there rejoicing among the Democrats of every Judicial Division. No convention anywhere at any time nearly responsive to public opinion than the convention which nominated MT. Sulzer.
 That MT Sulzer is today recognized with pract- cal unanhnty the leader of the Wilson admins trative forces in Alaska and that enthusiasm in his leadership is greater at this moment than at any previous time since it thrust upon him well known facts.

voluntarily alleged, prepared exhaustive opinion citing authorities. If the canvassing board had be-
 eved that the Attorney General had already ruled on these points, if the previous work of the can vassing board had been regarded final, why this letter from the Governor asking for the opinion of the Attorney General long after the latter had sug gcsted that the figures from the disputed precntcs be added to the tentative tabulation?
 The fact is that the Attorney General gave but one opinion on the subject of the disputed pre- cincts and the majority of the canvassng board re fused to follow that.
 And further this opinion of the Attorney Gen eraI was given to the canvassing board and made a part of the record before it published in The Elm pire, and The Empire obtained the consent of Gov Strong before printing it.

A FIGHTING SOCIALIST

While the country is about out of patience with men calling themselves Socialists, when, to all in tents and purposes they proGerman agitators. it must not be forgotten that in this in all the Allied countries there Socialists who know that the Kaiser is the foe of any form of democratic government including Socialism. Representative Mey- CT London-at present the only Socialist Congressman lis under uson this subject, the follow ing from speech in New York will show:
 We Socialists must not be demagogues; we must not appeal to ignorance. It is utter nonsense to say indifferent the outcome of the war, now that in it.

But the position of things has changed that Socialists can not afford to hope for the end of the until gum is restored and every German soldier is out of revolutionary France"

Our Joe Miller Contest.

Harry Lucas claims that the oldest joke is the one about the Hebrew and the Irishman who had an argument as to which race had produced the most great men. They agreed that for every illustrious Jew the Jew could name he could pull a hair from the Irishman's g beard. and that for every illustrious could pull hair from the Hebrew s beard They swapped names and hairs for while, and the Hebrew said: "The Twelve Apostles" and pulled out a tuft of Pats whiskers. But Pat came right back with "The Ancient Order of Hibernians" and yanked the Jews whole beard out.

A HALF TRUTH IS NOT A TRUTH

Those who now and again attempt to defend the canvassing board for refusing accept the opinion Of the Attorney General in order to give certif- cate of election to Wickersham occasionally aege that the Attorney General gave opinions with reference to the failure of certain precincts comply with the Australian ballot law and that the first
 one was in favor of Judge Wckersham This ale gaton fully within the scope of the old pro. verb that half truth is the worst kind of a lie
 The record shows that when these matters were first taken up it agreed by the board that the canvass tabulation should be tentatve-that re. turns would be tabulated but the tabulaton should not be considered a unless adopted and cer. tified to after full hearing. The Attorney General advised that the returns from all of the precincts in dispute should be included in the tabuation subject to the final hearing and decision That this was the understanding of the canvassing board is clearly shown by the circumstance that, after the tabula- ti0n aforesaid Gov. Strong President of the can vassing board and acting for the board under the terms of motion adopted, wrote the Attorney Gen eral formal letter. asking for his opinion on various irregularities-22 questions submitted.
