WHY IS AN ELECTION LAW?

The decision o{ the territorial canvassing board to condone election irregularities ID various precincts hroug bout the territory does not altogether take the people by surprise It seems to have become cus- tomary m Alaska to regard the provisions of law acted for the purpose of safeguarding elections as dead Ieers and the trend of court decisions appar ently has been to give little force to them.
 Take the registration provision, for instance. In municipal elections it IS provided that voter must register within given period previous to the cleo ton and time IS gwen for municipal clerks 10 make up the register for the use of the election officials Although we have not seen the decision. certain district judge IS said to have ruled at some or less remote period that a citizen could not be de- prived of his franchise for failure to comply with the law, and as a result caEankerous voters may fail to register at the prescribed tune and create con- fusion at the polls on election day by insisting on the right to register after the polls have opened By reason of this decision election boards have been prevailed upon to hold contrary to the statute that registration in the tune prescribed was unnecessary. The fact that registration is almost essential to pre- vent fraudulent voting Is thrust aside as of no mo- ment, and the edct of the legislature IS ignored. The query arises. II one provision of the law can be ignored, why cannot any or all?
 In the recent election the registration of voters said to have been entre ey dispensed with in one of the divisions Because the law made provision that voters may cast their ballots in any precinct of the division, this omission would seem to be an invita- ton io flaudulent voting. Under the circumstances there is no safeguard against voter casting bal lot in more than one precinct, as there will be no record of his illegal act Yet the canvassng board allowed such ballots to be counted.
 The provision for the use of the Australian ballot also seems to have been ignored by the board. Why enact such provision if it IS to be nulihed by cleo ton officials? To say that ballot containing but one name for gwen office, with no space to lndl- cate preference of candidates is legal IS to admit the old practice of handing voter ballot and sec ing that he votes it straight as perfectly proper.
 We can but believe that the canvassing board
 The action Of the canvassing board in this matter IS at least suggestive of cowardce The law directs the board as to its duty and its failure to follow the advice of the attorney general IS nexpicabe. The board is not judicial body and its action in holding that the election law does not mean what it says IS impudent
 It is not at all likely that the courts will go behind the returns of the canvassing board in the absence of direct proof of fraud and in all probability the certificate of election will be awarded to Wicker sham

QUEER GERMAN DIPLOMACY

In view of the frequently reiterated outbursts of ro-German indignation in this country against al- legged violations of American neutrality on the part of the administration in favor of the entente allies. the efforts that have been boldly made to commit this government, through congress- to unneutra acts which would be in Germany's interest, and the in- difference of the pro-Germans to the many outragcs committed against American industries engaged in lawful enterprises it IS of interest to learn that for mer Consul General Bopp of San Francisco, recently convicted of conspiracy to violate American neu- traIity, is slated for promotion upon his return to Germany Such is the declaration of Dr. Zoeppfel

 It IS a remarkable fact, Tn view of the present crisis n the affairs of Germany and the United States that in each instance where diplomats of the central powers have incurred the displeasure of this govern ment the acts comp laned of have been rewarded by the government of the kaiser and his ally, Aus tra Thus, when the German naval and military attaches, Captain Boy-Ed and Captain Won Papen, were dismissed by President Wilson for engaging ln acts in violation of American neutrality, and per haps even of the criminal laws, under cover of the German embassy at Washington, signal honors were bestowed upon them by the kaiser When Dr. Dumba the Austrian ambassador, was dismissed un- der similar circumstances, Emperor Franz Joset In- medately conferred upon him an order of nobility.
 It IS difficult to reconcile these apparently studied afronts to the American people with German pro- fessions of friendEness both before and during the war It would seem that the proper course for a friendly nation to pursue under the circumstances would be to disavow these acts of their agents, ln- stead of applaudng and rewardlng them.
