Demand. Senate Reforms.

[From the New Orleans Times Picayune.l
Throughout the central empires at
least Senator Stones attitude will be
interpreted as evidence of divided
purpose in congress and the country,
whereas all sane Americans know that
Senator Stone and his fellow filibusters
stand for a hopeless minority. 1t is
high time to have done with such tao
tics once and for all, and the senate's
procedure must be radically altered If
reform is otherwise impossible.

BEER DRINKING CRIMINALS THE
MOST DANGEROUS.

The Scientific American is authority
for the statement that the most dan
gerous classes of rutfians in our large
cities are beer drinkers. Intellectual-
ly stupor amounting almost to pa
ralysis arrests the reason, changing all
the higher faculties into mere ami
malism, sensual, selfish, varied only
with paroXysms of anger, senseless and
brutal.

"HoGGINGnTHE ROAD FUNDS

The Empire, defending the Ju- neau scheme to squander division al road funds in dredging a ditch through the bar in Gastineau channel says:
 ''The action of the road com.
 missioners is through authority
 of law. The Alaska legisla-
 ture authorized the commits
 sioners to expend money on
 improved waterways should
 they decide that such would
 be of more use to the people
 than road buiAding.'
 The Empire might also explain that the waterway project was put into the law on demand of Ju. neau interests. and. for the sole purpose of permitting the spending of road money on Juneau's partic. ular waterway improvement.
 And it might be further eluci, dated that the decision ot the road commission that such waterway improvement would fe of more use to the people than road build- ing" should be interpreted to mean that the commissioners find it more feasible to dredge a ditch through the shallows of Gastineau channel than it would be to construct a dusty highway therein.
 This conclusion IS forced by the fact that Juneau is the only town in the division receiving, so far, any consideration whatever from the divisional road commis- sion, the members of which are all residents of Juneau and nearby camps.
 This proposed "waterway'' is to cost $I 1000, and the balance of the appropriation of $50, 1000 avail able this year for road work throughout the First division is being expended ty the commission as rapidly as possible on road pro- jects wanted by Juneau, and on such projects only.
 Furthermore, unless other towns of the division awaken to their in- terests, the $50, 1000 of'the territor- ial road money to be available for next years work will be likewise logged by Juneau Report.

A PUBLIC SERVICE

C. E. Weber, in volunteering to act as registrar for the govern ment, performed a patriotic and valuable service.
 MT. Weber has kept his office open by appointment on Sundays, has made trips to canneries, and done everything in his power to get complete list of all persons subject to draft for militacy ser vice. The long list of questions that had to be answered by each registrant rendered the work tedious. and in the case of for eigners having only a limited knowledge of the English lan- guage the work required much patience. In a number of cases 1t was necessary to get an inter- preter in order to register a man properly
 Everyone knows that there is no one in Wrangell who could have filled the position of regis tration officer more efficiently than Mir. Weber. This work re- ouired two months and did not cost the government a penny. MT. Weber is to be commended for his patriotic service.
