mofe than New England and the Middle Atlantic Sta.es.
 It was not very long ago that the East was accusing the Middle West of being unpatriotic, pro-German and almost treasonous. They have their answer, and the question is disposed of. The Middle West is patriotic.
 Nobdy, as far as we know, has ac- cused the East of being less patriotic than the West. There has been no sneering here, but it does no harm to call attention again to the disparity in the enlistments of the two regions and to inquire how soon the news papers which questioned the patriot ism of the Middle West are going to accept the evidence now before them and use the same salted lash at home that they applied to the Western back.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE

That Delegate Sulzer is fully alive to the necessity of a more compre- hensive grasp of the needs of Alaska by those in Congress to whom we are forced to look for aid and legislation is shown by his introduction of a joint resolution in the House yester- day providing for the appointment of a Congressional committee to visit Alaskan conditions at first hand. While the primary purpose of the pro- posed visit is to study Alaska with a view of seeing just what legislation is needed to enable Alaska to do her full share in aiding the government in carrying out its war program, it can be made great educational tour for those coming, and work to a great advantage to all of Alaska.
 The Delegate should be given the united support of all Alaskans in his attempt to have the committee ap- pointed. It might help him in his at tempt if the various towns in the Ter ritory should wire their endorsement and add their solicitations to his. Alaska is today doing everything in it's power to aid the government in every way possible, and would do more if certain restrictions were talk en off. And if the committee makes the trip it is almost a certainty that they will be removed.
 The development of the entire Ter ritory has been greatly handicapped by the lack of knowledge of Alaskan conditions on the part of the nation al lawmakers, upon whom we are greatly dependent for legislation. Laws made for Alaska are made on viewpoint entirely foreign to the coun- try, and without bearing on Alaskan conditions and handicaps. A working knowledge of these conditions can not be had with any degree of accur- acy except by being on the ground and getting it first hand. All the pro- Daganda ever written cannot accom- piish what one days actual sight will be able to do.
 Delegate Sulzer has picked no easy task when he tries to get this com mittee appointed. Under the war con- ditions it may be that Congress will deem it inadvisable to appoint such a body to make an extended tour. He may be unsuccessful in his attempt, but he certainly deserves credit for having the right idea and being on the job enough to put it up to Con- gress.-Empire.

CANNED GOODS NOW
 AT A STANDSTlLL

The future canned goods market is practically at standstill until it is decided just what action the gov ernment will take in the matter of securing supplies for the army. Here tofore the government secured the army supplies thru contract on com petitive bids, but the present plan seems to be to requisition the goods directly from the canners, the prices to be arranged on basis of cost and some percentage of profit. It is the desire of the canners to assist the government in every way possible, but at the same time they take the position that the contracts should be equally divided, so that too great a burden will not fall on a few can ners, and that provisions be made to take care of contracts already made with jobbers throughout the coun- try.
 The 1916 line of dried fruits has been almost completely cleaned up and packers have practically with drawn prices, especially on apricots, figs, peaches and raisins, and what is left commands an almost prohibitive figure. Beans are practically the only item in the daily bill of fare that has not taken a rise and at present are in big demand. Rice has taken a slight advance, but is still within req son. Sugar takes drop this week of 25c per hundred pounds and puts this commodity on a more staple ba- sis.
 The war tax directly affects the following articles in the grocery line: sugar, Rc per lb; coffee, Pc; tea, 5c; cocoa and chocolate, 2c; tobacco, 6c; cigars, $1.OO to 5000 per thousand: : cigarettes, $1.25 per thousand; chew ing gum, candy and cakes from 1ac to SC per ID.

GERMANS TO REWRITE
 BIBLE WHEN WAR ENDS

THE HAGUE, June 27.-According to a copy of the German newspaper Kreuzzeitung, of Berlin, just received here, the Germans are going to re- write the Bible. The article says:
 "If any further proof were needed of the immeasurable superiority of the Germans, intellectually and nor ally, over the rest of mankind, it is to be found in the mental attitude of our people toward the Bible as con- pared with that of other nations. "The English regard that book as their most valuable commercial as- set, and use it mainly as form of barter with savage tribes for their good will, their assistance, and the supply of their natural products, and in England itself it is exploited sole ly in the propagation of that spirit of hypocrisy which has stood the Brit ish in such good stead for ages to hoodwink and despoil other races.
 "It must be one of our first tasks on the conclusion of the war, when Germany shall arise out of it renew ed in power and vitality like ano- ther Phoenix, to set board of quali- fled experts to work to produce, not only for our own benefit, but also for the moral uplifting of mankind, a new, a more glorious, a purer Bible, instinct with the German spirit of kul- tur and morality.

SEATTLE'S NEW FREAK

SEATTLE, June 27.-After long battle-royal between Roland Cotter- ill, secretary of the Woodland park board and the Washington congress- ional delegation, the U. s. department of agriculture and the Seattle local representative of the bureau of ami nal industry, the odd beast defined as an antelope, with buffalos head. donkey's mane and tale of horse, but which is really an Australian Gnu is safe at last in the park zoo, having been placed there Sunday but as yet the public has not been allowed either to view it or see picture of it.
 The park board purchased it from Ellis s. Joseph who had bought a menagerie while over in Australia and brought it to Victoria. The mem bers of the board had just completed congratulating themselves upon the bargain they had made when the animal was conscripted by Dr. Jens Madsen of the U. s. bureau of ami nal industry, who said Uncle Sam wasn't taking any chances on rumi- nants of cud-chewing animals from Australia, as it was presumed that any cud-chewer from that country was potential dissemitator of the foot and mouth disease which the government had eradicated at cost of $1O,O0O,000. So the freak went in to quarantine, but at last reports a permit had been granted the board to place it in an isolated place, away from the gaze of the public and un- der guard.
 We are now wondering what good this freak is going to be either to the

ELECTRIC (WHAT:) SIGN Is
WRECK ED SUNDAY NIGHT

We would like - knOw what brand
the parties that wrecked the electric
sign at the corne- of the city park on
last Saturday night. were drinking.
when they demolished the famous
landmark. 1t is total wreck-it has
been blinked-the same as all the pa
irons who mad their advertisements
thereon. 1t was q "blinker" all the
way around-and some strangers who
lit into town and induced our busi-
ness men to donate" did the blink
ing. To our knowledge the sign new
er was illuminated over one cr two
nights, and you had to have magni-
flying glasses over your optics to be
able to discern what appeared on the
structure.
The contract entered into called for
continuous electric service each night.
but the said strangers who negotiat-
ed the deal weren't evidently inter
ested in contributing to the city for
juice, and of course the contract was
not carried out-Hut said strangers
got what they were after-the said
coin of the realm. Another feature
of the sign board was that q genu-
inc clock was to be installed that
would keep our citizens informed Of
the time of day at all times. Per-
haps it would if those interested had
employed the servi es of first-class
goldsmith to be on the job. But as
it was the so-called clock didn't stick"
long before it also 'blinked." As We
have stated, it was 4 'blinker" all
around-but now that it is gone per-
haps there won't be any wailing or
crashing of teeth, but we believe there
is a moral to be gained in this in
stance-that of letting the stranger
with the "gifty-gab" and alluring Of
fers go his way with his slip shod en-
terprises.
However, this does not eliminate
the person or persons who tried to
tear up the whole northeast corner
of the park last Saturday night, and
only succeeded in tearing down the
belated sign. They probably came to
their senses when the event happen
ed-perhaps a car suffered from the
accident and maybe some human be-
ings, for all we know. Better be
little more careful in the future-it
might result seriously next time.
