Every Honeymoon is romantic But But it doesn't take the installment col lection agent long to knock the lining out of romance
 All of the men in the Penitentiary are not ornery. Some of them are there because their mothers hated to see them work when they were young men.
 Any old married man can tell you that his wife will always agree with him when he doesn't want her to.
 Sometimes friends who have the best intentions do you more harm than enc mics who have the worst.
 About the time man gets through furnishing a home with tobacco tags and cigarette coupons. his wife discov- CTS that the undertaken won't accept the blame things in payment for the funeral.
 Another reason why a man can't un- derstand his wife is because she will spend s25 for store hair and then want $25 hat to hide the store hair.
 We know a smart doctor who has his wife call him up half dozen times every time he goes to lodge. the thea ter. or public meeting. And people think he must be mighty smart be- cause he has so much business

Fairbanks News -Mner)
 Chitna, Alaska, Oct. 4, 1917. News Miner Fairbanks
 Marshal Erwin and party, in three ma chimes, arrived in Chitina yesterday, two and onehalf days from Fairbanks. Marshal Erwin established record by bringing three cars over the trail in 23 hours and 51 minutes and never turned on automobile lights. Daylight run all the way. Trip without mishap and enjoyed by all.
 "The Jingle Man. of the guards, takes back all that he said about the trail, and says that this the trip of his life. The trail is all right and he would have had different impression had he gone in to Fairbanks with someone who knew how to handle a the trail. It makes all the difference in the world who is at the head of the party He says that the trail is the pride, and not the shame, of Alaska.
 There not the least trouble with the prisoners. The Marshal placed them on their honor and treated them kindly showing much tact and ability in handling them. This was appreciated by the prisoners, who appear anx- ious to justify this confidence. The insane pa tients are giving trouble. The party is leav- ing for Cordova tomorrow and sails Saturday on steamer Alameda Will take three more prisoners from the Third Division at Cordova.

SULZER ALASKA'S BEST DELEGATE
Anchorage Democrat)

From every who has had anything to do with the new Delegate to Congress the very best word for his attention to business and his uniform courtesy in handling any matter relative to Alaska that has been brought to his attention.
 It makes difference what the political complex ion of the writer may be- every letter to MT. Suzer is promptly answered and the matter inquired for given the strictest attention.
 Mir Suzer has been the best Delegate that Alas ka has ever had and all of his friends and good percentage of those who voted against him last fall sincerely wishing that he will continue at Washington and give the Territory the kind of ser vice that 1t needs.

have been chosen serve. They not petty poll ticians"
 The Democratic Press of the Territory, hardly without exception, agrees with these men, The inter est Democratic papers certainly is not inspired by any hope of pecunary profit. As far as The Elm pire is concerned asked for single bit patronage because of its politics. and it has got but very little. It is supported by the people of the Terrtory-including than 2,50O subscribers. It profits only when the people profit. Never anywhere did democracy with less sefshness higher patriotism than the Demo crats of Alaska exhibiting at this time. Without reward or hope of reward they following the lead of the great President of the United States uphold ing hands in this Territory, and furthering the cause which he stands everywhere, according to the best their abilities.
 On the other hand no man ever exhibited more of the traits of petty politician" than has Gov. Strong since the Democratic party of the Territory decided to with courage upon the fixed conviction that there should be change in the Governorship His first declaration when he learned of opposition to his reappontment was ''lf MT. Donohoe and his friends desire to ruin the Democratic party by mak- ing fight I will show him and them that can tear down much of the structure as anyone will show them that l. too can help destroy the party" he has worked along that line ever since other words, it matters nothing to him how closely the Democratic party of the Territory may follow the leadership of President Wilson, matter how
  ocratic principles Alaska, if it does not support Gov. Strong and his ambitions it must be de- stroyed. His whole attitude is that his office and the influence he has developed through it per possessions and do not belong to his party or the Territory.
 Gov Strong has never stood strongly for any constructive policy. He has not attempted to exercise his functions in legislation. He is not working with the Delegate Congress in the atters efforts to ad the interests of the people of the Territory He has been for than four years and there is not single important achievement with which he has been identified.
 Instead of working with Democrats who have fought for self-government and Democratic princi- ples for nearly decades, he Is working handin- glove with the Wickersham macnine and press of Alaska-a machine and press that has raduced Presi- dent Wilson and his administration throughout the Territory His close advisers the advisers of Wickersham-the most persistent office seeker who ever came the Territory who came with an official commission in his carpet bag, and who has been a candidate for office since. His favors are for Wckersham supporters and Wickersham news papers.
 Instead of standing stanchly for Democratic prin- cples he is working with the enemies of Democracy, and doing all in his power to destroy the Democratic party by aiding it's enemies.
