 Even those who have strenuously opposed MT Wokershams candidacy during the campaigns when he victorious and during the when he was. pre- sumaby defeated deny that this honor belongs to him and to him alone For it MT Wickersham, although opposed all sides who finally pushed bill through enabling the people today graduate themselves having secured such nsti, for Fairbanks the Agricultural Mechanical College
 The passage of the original bill congress necessl- tated large of work the part of MT. Wick ersham.

THE CALL TO ARMS.

It very apparent that the actual call to arms the United States is but of hours. It awaits nothing than the passage of the administrations and army bill containing the conscripton clause. And conscrption clause that every eligible young man the country whether he is wanted not will at least have to go so as to register his willingness to fight at the word.
 Whether or not anybody will yet be called upon to fight remains be seen but the call that it is the intention of the government be ready in of emergency It also that in future years the United States will have army of million trained depend in time of need
 The dispatches regarding the matter state that every township and polling precinct in the country is be made place of registration but nothing regarding who shall be registration officials and such necessary It is supposed. however. that ample provision deficiency will be made by the department.
 The passage of the bill containing the registration clause will that all of the young of Fair banks and vicinity will be expected register There organized townships here. consequently 1t is supposed that the registering will be in charge of United States commissioners other federal officials. official
 The entire matter. however Is yet in abeyance the dispatches being but preliminary to what will be done in the that the bill is passed Consequently Fair banksans need not worry themselves registration until bill becomes and until registration is compulsory. All that they have to do Is to be ready for the call when it does
 It will undoubtedly be easy the gov ernment to get the first 5oOOOo men requires and probably Just as easy for it to get the second hamion contingent Consequently the jury selecting method stated in the dispatches will be rather to keep men the army, least for time. And those who selected by that, whatever other method the government devises will be the most enved of every community.
 The important meaning of the passage of the seective conscrpon bill will be that in the future the United States will always have trained army of men at its there will always be 100000 least in training, and in addition, after the first years of unsurpassed in the world.
