WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

What shall the members of our territorial leg isature do about that "bone dry" law that con- gress has just enacted for our benefit @ when they meet?
 At the last session of our legislature, prohi- bition for Alaska was planned, and was referred to the people for decision at the fall election of 1916. In substance, the resolution provided that in the event the people voted dry, the folloEing session of the legislature law would be passed making Alaska dry. Election came, the people voted dry and the legislators prepared them selves to fulfill their contract. But 10, and be hold less than two months before the legislators meet through our al-almost-delegate congress steps in and aTogates to itself the pow CT and with garing audacity tells our legislators to go way back and sit down. Forgetting entirely absolutely and without recourse the courtesy that is due from one legislative body to another.
 Had the National Congress been possessed of an ounce of good manners action would have been deferred until the territorial legislature had met The latter undoubtedly would have memorialized the high power on that subject as it was in duty and promise bound so to do. Instead of waiting congress saps our legislators in the face, as it

WAITING FOR OVERT ACT

Photographic news tells us that President Will son is waiting to act until Germany has commit ted an overt act-an act that would call for re prisal if not war. It would be interesting to know just what constitutes an overt act.
 Many of Us have been under the impression that for country to hold citizens of another country under restraint was very much an overt act against that government which is supposed to see that it's citizens are not deprived of their b- erty unless they have committed a crime. Yet that is just what Germany has been doing the last several days. More, according to dispatch es under some pretense or other. our ambassador was detained unnecessarily, most grieFous kind of offense. Despite all that, President Will son is waiting until Germany commits an overt act Oh. patience. thou art a jewel?

Last Sunday, in South Dakota, we

PRESIDENTS MESSAEE
APPROTED AY ALLIES

President Wilson'S note TO Russia
was given to the press on the 9th,
1t was submitted to the Allies, and ia
said to meet with the approval of All.
Great Britain has made public her
approval. The president states anew
the position of this country, and de-
clares it TO be SO plain that no man
can be excused for mistaking it.
This country, he says, is "fighting
for no advantage or selfish object of
her own, but for the deliberatIon OF
peoples everywhere from the aggres-
sion of autocratic force" Speaking
of peace terms, he said:
"We are fighting for the liberty, the
self-government and the indicated
development of all peoples, and every
feature of the settlement that con-
cludes this war must be conceived
and executed for that purpose
Wrongs must first be righted and
then adequate safeguards must be
created to prevent their being com
mjtted again. We ought not to con-
slider remedies merely because they
have pleasing and sonorous sound
Practical questions can be settled
only by practical means. Phrases
will not accomplish the result. Ef-
fective Adjustments will; and what
ever readJustments are necessary
mast be made.
But they must follow a principle
aud that principle is plain:
No people must be forced under
sovereignty under which it does not
wish to live.
No territory must change hands ex-
cept for the purpose of securing those
who lnhabit it fair chance OF life
and liberty.
No indemnities must be insisted on
except those that constitute payment
for manifest wrongs done.
No readjustments of power must be
made except such as will tend to se-
cure the future peace of the world
and the future welfare and happiness
of its peoples"

THE LIBERTY LOAN

Ibe ringing answer of the Ameri.
can people to the governments first
cali for money to prosecute the war
against autocracy will so down in
hletory IS one. of the most remark
able accomplishments in the great
world struggle. The fact that this is
the first call increases the Importance
OF the result, in as much as initial
issues are always regarded as more
alihcult to secure than succeeding
ones because, it is argued, people do
not regard seriously SO early the pos.
slbility of victorious foe exacting
greater sums in indemnities than the
amount asked by the government.
While final official figures may not be
available for some days ali reports
Indicate that the uncertainty OF
few days ago was merely the result
OF over anxionsness on the part of
those who failed to look back over
the records of America and Ameri-
cans.
While the amount subscribed Is
very gratifying to the Washington
government, shared also by the en-
tente nations in Europe. there is one
significant fact which stands out
above all others. This is the spirit
in which the email investor answered
the call of democracy. Nearly 3.00O,-
uo0 men, women and children of
America, it is estimated, invested
part of their savings in Liberty bonds.
Many, too, without savings, purchas-
ed bonds on the instaIlment plan,
Giving evidence to what ends patriotic
Americans will go to display their
loyalty to country and flag. While
there will be those who will regard
he success Of the loan as a mere in-
cident in the great catastrophe it can
not but serve to demonstrate that the
country is awakening to the fact that
their all is at stake and that it is a
fight to 3 linish.
The effect cannot be measured In
our own nation it will develop a new
spirit of confidence. 1t will bring
out the fact to millions of Americans
who still fail to understand the coun-
try's motives in the war that there
must be some real cause II three mill
lions among them believe in 1T enough
10 give their wealth to be used in
bringing about the desired end. 1T
will also have the effect of securing
more complete understanding for men
VIII ask why. Three millions ready
with an answer can do wonders in
enlightening those still in the dark,
ny reason of their apparent ability
to see the light, in completing the
transformation.
La the entente nations 1t will bring
rejoicing, for the people who have
untold agonies in war with
merclless foe llknow that Ame RIGA
with all her resources of men and
wealth, stands behind them in their
light for the right of man to govern
In Germany, If the censors
allow the fact to be known, it will be
cause of encouragement and disap-
pointment. 1t is master stroke
and the kaiser no doubt will feel
keeniy the blow struck by nation
for which he held no fear in mili-
tary sense. To America and Ameri-
cans belong the credit of dealing one
of the most decisive defeats the Ger
man government has suffered since
the beginning Of the war.
