The Kite 1raaedx.

Once upon a time Johns father said:
1T is a good time to fly kites. isn't it?
L Will help you make a big one and you
can go to the top of the big hill and
fly it,"
John vas delighted and his father
and paste. That night they started to
make the big kite. First they formed
the frame of pieces of fiat sticks SOW
cred 1T with paper and made the most
beautiful long tail out of red and blue
paper.
After school John started for h hill
with the other boys. He a never
been allowed to go there before but
his father thought he was old enough
this year. All the boys had kites and
were full of talk as to which could go
h highest.
When they reached the hill they let
out the strings and away went the
kites. up, up, up. How pretty they
looked with their many colors and long
tails. Johns kite kept going along after
the others had stopped and floated
alone in the sky and the boys ali
cheered for his kite which they named
Champion"
When it was time to so home John
and another boy Who was standing
near, began to pull in their strings and,
as the kites came slowly down, they
made a pretty sight. Just then q puff
of wind came and the two kites swung
together twisting their tails in q bad
tangle, and the other boys cried out to
late for them to run apart.
The kites twisted round each other
and, even with hard pulling, could not
be separated, and they came down a
mass of twisted paper and broken
sticks.
John could hardly keep the tears
back, but he knew that wouldn't help
any, and also he was too big a boy to
cry, but 1t was hard just the same,
for he had been very proud of his kite.
The boys gathered round to SEQ il
they could help. but nothing could be
done as both of the kites were ruined.
John walked home with the remains of
his kite tucke under his arm and met
his father who was just coming in.
Father at once saw what had hap
pened and told him not to mind. that
they would make another one that very
evening and it would be ready to use
the next night, but he must be careful
this time and not get too near the
other boys.
Some of he boys asked IL they could
come and make a kite like his and
Johns father told them that they could
and he would help them. The boys
spent a pleasant evening working to-
gether and by bedtime they had fin
ished and were planning to fly them
next day. So 1t wasn't quite SO bad as
it seemed at first and the boys had a
FIR time making the kites, which they
would not have had if the accident had
not happened.

SPENCE'S RESIGNATION

The action of the Department of Justice in re- questing the resignation of District Attorney Spence of the Third Division will be gratifying to the people of Alaska. MT. Spence went out of his way to in jure the Democratic party in Alaska and to cooperate with the Wckersham element of discontent and dis organization. Shortly after his arrival in the Terri tory he allied himself with the Instructive criticsng mudthrowng then Delegate to Congress, and set himself squarely against the organization which has been striving to make the Democratic party in Alaska useful instrument in supporting and uphoding the hands of Alaskadeveloping administration. So pleased Judge Wickersham with MT. Spence that he endeavored to have him promoted to the Judgeship of the Fourth Division.
 Such actions as those which characterized the official of Mr. Spence conducive to the best interest of Alaska the Federal government which selected him to in high official station in this Territory The best interests of Alaska be served only by united and organized work on the part of those constituting the party of the ad ministration in the Territory and cooperation with them by the high officials The Democrats of Alas ka in convention that truly representative of the Democratic party selected MT. Sulzer their leader and gave into his keeping declaration of principles and policies that represented the best there is in Alaska, and which gave voice in this Territory to the principles and policies for which the Demo- cratic party under the leadership of President Will stands in the Nation. MT Sulzer went before the people of the Territory with his commission, and they approved the principles and policies declared, and his leadership, by eecting him Delegate to Con gress
 For a high official of the administration to at tempt undermine the chosen representative of its and party in the Territory is treachery to the administration and the Territory The administra t0n cannot afford to have such guard, and very properly asked for MT. spences resignation.

way possible to develop Alaska, 1t has not in it's six years of exist ence initiated antyhing itself, said MT. McPherson. That is not With in it's province, but when Alaskan communities have spoken through their commercial organizations, the whole influence of the Alaska Blu reau is exerted in behalf of the things wanted"
 MT. McPherson declared that the Alaska Bureau is now doing all that it can to secure action by Con gress, first, for full Territorial form of government for the Territory, and, second, for central, resident board to handle all those Federal matters in the Territory of an ad- ministrative character that may not properly come within the scope Of the powers of a Territorial or State government composed of the people of the Territory.
 The speaker paid glowing tri- 5ute to Alaska and her resources. He said that whereas she was for merly known only as a gOld-pro- iucing country, she is now famed for her copper and for her food products. The fisheries alone, he said, will this year yield from $30,- 900, ,0OO to $40,000,000, and star tie the world.
 This means" said MT. McPher- hof A1aclxa'c fiCh nrndupt c ire twice those of the rest of the Pacific Coast and twice as, great as Norway's highest record"
 The speaker briefly reviewed the agricultural possibilities of the Ter ritory, and contended that they are ;apable of great development, but lependent, of course, on the crea- ion of a market through the devel- )pment of the mining, fishing and other industries.
 Capital Must Be Encouraged.
 In speaking of the good time that will come with the end of the Flu ropean war, MT. McPherson said that Alaska needs capital in large amounts for the purpose of develop ing and utilizing her natural re- sources, and said that the people should encourage capital to come to the Territory.
 He believed that the fisheries would add largely to the perma- aent population of the Territory. The development of the herring in- lustry and the cod and other fisher es had demonstrated that, and he predicted that the salmon fisheries would soon be adding more to the permanent population of the Terri tory than they have in the past.
 The speaker urged the people to organize and work together for the advancement of the Territory. What may be accomplished by nore thorough organization and more earnest organized effort is pest illustrated by what has been secured thus far by that means" he said.

DRAFTING ALIENS

The Chamberlain resolution which the Senate adopted without dissenting vote, provides for the drafting for military purposes of about 12750OO citi- xens of friendly foreign countries now in the United States and S1.OOO citizens of Germany and her allies. The latter will assigned to noncombatan service.
 The only objection to the resolution was that voiced by Senator Stone, who feared it might con flict with existing treaties This was evaded by a provision that aliens who claim exemption on account of treaties will given 90 days in which to return to their lands.
 The existence of a large body of aliens of military age in this country was revealed by the draft. It is nothing more than right that these should bear their part the fight for humanity, either under their own adopted flag. It is not likely their countries will object.

The latter is personal friend of Senator Chamberlain, whose pri vate secretary he when Chamberlain was Gov of Oregon
 The direct of Spences retirement from of flee is due the aggressive fight made against that official by the Democratic leaders of the Territory, and his successor would have been named some time ago but there hitch in the selection. The Democratic organization in the Territory had endors ed Attorney William Holzhemer of Juneau, for the position but Senator Chamberlain insisted that it be given to Judge Munley.
