WASHINGTON Is NO Pl ACE FOR
 POLITICS NOW

That the poorest place Tn the "Ollu | for a professional politician to go these days if he wishes to do any l thing for himself or his constituents $ Washington, D. C., is the st1te- mcnt of United States Marshal l.. l T. Erwin, who returned to Fairbanks last night on the Yukon nom the Outside. The officials of the admin istratiCn. the marshal says, cannot
 be bothered with politics these days; they are too busy attending to the duties that the war has forced on their respective departments to at | tend to anything of such petty nature as politics. Furthermore, it is next to impossible for d senator
 or representative to get the ear of any of the government heads, so busy are the various secretaries. Nor is it possible for any person, no matter WHO Ht Hay Dt, io set di audience. Marshal Erwin cites the
 instance of Chairman William C.
 Edes, of the Alaskan Engineering commission, who, he states, had been
 in Washington for two months vain. ly trying to get a few moments con
 versation with Secretary of the In terior Franklin K Lane regarding the railroad work in Alaska.
 For this reason it is the opinion of the marshal that there will be few if any changes in the personnel of political appointments in Alaska just at the present time. If an off cial has made good record in his official capacity he will be reap pointed, In the opinion of Marshal Erwin, no matter what kind of charg- es are brought against him. The officials are entirely too busy to listen to charges of a political or personal nature; the only thing that they investigate at all is charges regarding the official record of the official who comes up for reappOint- ment.
 As a consequence of their being so busy, Marshal Erwin found it hard to see any of the department heads in Washington. He did, how ever manage to interview some Of the heads of the department of jus tice. By these he was told not to
 bother to send any of his political
 friends around to boost for him, as
 they would not be received.
 All of the government buildings at
 Washington are now being carefully
 guarded says the marshal. There
 are soldiers everywhere. Soldiers
 are on guard at the entrances of all
 of the bu ldings, and where before
 all wh0 made app cation could enter
 it is now necessary that the busi-
 ness of the visitor be stated before
 he will ven be admitted to the
 building, the navy and war depart
 ments being particularly strict in this
 regard
