ALASKA PARCEL POST SYSTEM! IS
 BEING ARRANGED
Delegate Sulzer Is Told Specialist Is Working Out the Phase of
 Organization.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-(Special orrespondence) )-Definite plans for the inauguration of special parcel post zone system in the Territory of Alaska are being worked out by the Postoffice Department, according to information given to Delegate Charles A. Sulzer yesterday following con ference with First Assistant Post master General J. c. Rooms. The matter has been turned over to a specialist in parcel post matters with instructions to devise a system
 hat would eliminate the injustice of the present uniform zone system A conference between representatives of the Post Office Department and the Interstate Commerce Commis sion soon will be expected to bring about fruition of the plan.
 Mr. Sulzer is deeply interested in this parcel post zone system. When
 in the legislature two years ago he was an ardent supporter of the Tan ner memorial to Congress urging the adoption of just such a system. "It costs as much now to send a package from Juneau to Douglas Delegate Sulzer said in discussing the unjust discrimination against Alaska. "as it does to send the same package from Pensacola, Florida to Point Barrow. Alaskans pay the same pound rate for a four-mle haul as the residents of the States pay for a 5000-mile haul.
 One of Mir. SulZers first acts upon coming to Washington was to obtain appointment on the committee on Postoffice and Post Roads, with the idea in mind of assisting Alaska to get a better mail service.

HUMILITY BEING CROOMED FOR A
 COVERNORSHIP
Political Gossip Says Presidents Private Secretary Is Good
 Timber for N. ].

WASHINGTON, July 4.-By maiD. Special dispatches from Trenton, N. J., to the New York papers con tain information that is setting the political tongues wagging in this city Here is one of them:
 Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson. is being talked about more and more for the Demo- cratic nomination, for United States Senator in 1918, when a successor to Senator William Hughes is to be elected, and also as the next Demo cratic nominee for governor. Hughes is Democrat, and if he recOvers his health. will undoubtedly seek re- nomination in the 1918 primary.
 "Inasmuch as the Jersey City Democratic forces, led by H. Otto Wittpen, made such poor showing in the municipal election there last month, Tumulty looms head and shoulders above the man occupying the position of naval officer of the Port of New York, so far as the policies of the New Jersey Demo- cratic state organization are con- cerned. The federal office-holding crowd is solidly behind Tumulty throughout the state"
 It has been thirty years since secretary to the President held rela tions to his chief as intimate and confidential as those that exist be. tween Tumulty and President Will. son. Col. Daniel Lamont, with a longer and larger experience in New York State politics than President Cleveland, became more than secre- tary when the latter went to the White House. He was consulted about all New York matters and his judgment accepted as to many.
 Tumulty is repeating Colonel La. mont's record in this respect. He was in New Jersey politics before Wilson entered and knew all the ropes when the latter became gover. nor, hence, his selection first to be secretary to the new governor and later secretary to the new president. He is clever politician, popular wherever known. and a man of char
 
 acter and ability.
 A campaign under his leadership would be very direct appeal to the New Jersey electorate in behalf or the national administration. The first, which was made in 1916, under the Presidents own leadership, failed. The state gave large majority for CharIac K Hughes That aDDeal how ever did not include matters that have ripened in the past eight months. Next year the appeal will be brought up to date. The country at-large will give attention when the President is on his second trial be- fore his home people. And this time through a personal friend and one of the most cherished and respect ed political advisers.

ONE JUNEAUITE
 IS IN WAR AND
 WANTS TO FIGHT

Word comes that Franklin John ston, formerly of Juneau, previously of Nome, and later of Anchorage, is in the war, and is hoping to be in the fighting soon. He is boat swain on the DeKalb, formerly the German raider Prinz Eitel Freder- ick.
 MT. Johnston was an active mem- Der of the Juneau Democratic Club when at Juneau, and was delegate from this place to the Skagway con- vention in 1914.
 The Anchorage Times of July 3 contains the following:
 Captain Geo. Howe, ST., has re- ceived letter from Captain Frank lin Johnston, formerly of Anchorage, and a property owner here, which says, in part: I am feeling tip top, and am now boatswain on a good ship-the former German raider Prinze Eitel Frederick, now called the DeKalb. l asked to be changed from a submarine chaser to this ship, which, at the time of my trans fer, was supposed to go where we would likely be in scrap of some kind l made the chaige, as there were no enemy submarines on this side of the Atlantic and the sub marine chaser had little but patrol work to do.

 CLAIMS A WRITER

NEW YORK, July 10-The Wall Street Journal says: In these days, when all the world is studying the food problem. it behooves one to use common sense in arranging the diet and not to be carried away by false ideas of economy. The British food controller pointed out that it was patriotic for the rich to eat Holsters and unpatriotic to take to a beef stew, bread and milk diet.
 In many cases 1t is the kind or food consumed rather than the quan' tity that constitutes food patriotism. Let the rich go on indulging their epicuring tastes which might well in' clude brook trout, partridge, alligator pears and orchid salad and let the poor eat corn meal cake and use in telligence in utilizing dry bread and food scraps.
 Waste is the great crime these days. The man who leaves half a roll in the restaurant or refuses to eat bread pudding at home is giving comfort to the enemy.
