CLAMOR TO
 HAVE INSPECTOR "CANNED''

The press of Alaska has evidently united to secure a new postal inspect or for Alaska. In southeast Alaska two important mail routes have been practically made useless to the com munities which they serve by reason of the activities of this inspector.
 The mail route from ketchikan to Prince of Wales island points is now being served by gas boat at the risk of life to crew and passengers. Sev- eral years ago Senator Heckman and other influential merchants of ketchi- kan subscribed and fitted up steam CT for the run. Their request that the post office department allow req sonable amount for carrying the mail on this run was denied
 The mail route from Juneau to Sit ka was formerly served by the steam CT Georgia. Inspector Neal caused the contract to be cancelled and this route is now served by gas boat Juneau Dispatch.

TOURISTS MUST
 HAVE PASSPORTS

 UP ALI STRANGERS
Parties Entering Mining Districts of Arizona Must Show Papers Armed Guards Posted On All High ways.

BISBEE. Ariz., Aug. 1.-Begin- ming today every stranger entering the Warren mining district must bear a passport from the mayor or recognized commercial bodies of cer- tain designated cities if he wishes to pass the civilian guards posted along the roads in the region by Sheriff Harry Wheeler without being sub jected to a searching questioning as to his business by armed watchers The duty of the guards is to prevent members of the Industrial Workers of the World or their sympathizers from entering the district and the passport idea was hit upon as way of avoiding unnecessary annoyance to tourists and other reputable citi- Zens.
 Issuance of passports by the Doug las Chamber of Commerce was be- gun today. At the request of Govern of Thomas E. Campbell, Sheriff Wheeler announced that passports would also be recognized when sign ed by the chief of police, the secre- tary of the chamber of commerce of Fl Paso or the mayor of Tucson. This will enable tourists travelling by automobile along the borderland highway to pass through the district. Armed guards, some of them dress ed in khaki and wearing leggings so that they look like soldiers to the un- initiated. are posted at strategic points along all highways and rail- roads entering the district. These out posts are manned night and day and are visited daily by Sheriff Wheeler. Every automobile is stopped and in spected. and the occupants question ed closely. The various outposts are in communication by means of tele- phones and signals.
 The guards eat and sleep in tents, pitched on the mountain side and have not left their posts since the de- portation of 1,16S Industrial Work CTS of the World members and the al legged sympathizers. Motorcycle pa trols also ride over the district hunt ing for any so-called "undesirable' who may have slipped by the guards. A fund of more than $70,000 is said to have been raised to defray the ex- penses of this elaborate system of picketing.
 Sheriff Wheeler has warned the guards to keep a close watch for per sons attempting to bring liquor into the district.
 "Whiskey," said the sheriff. "is as bad as the 'wobblies" for stirring uI trouble"

Doing With Less

Those who must are, somehow,
learning to do with less, and the result
ia a gradual curtailment of consump-
ton" says the distinguished economist,
Theo. II. Price.
The question. finally is not as to
what those who must do, because those
who must simply must; nor as to what
the rich do, because the rich can get
along. But between the poor and the
rich is the vast majority of the Ameri-
can people. How much will these peo-
Die curtail to meet war conditions7
Call these last mentioned the middle
class and we do hate that word class
properly-and it can be said that by as
much as they deny themselves Injuries
and near-luxuries by so much will they
help the people who must" In the
cost of one luxury is the price OF maybe
a half-dozen necessaries, and modern
war Is waged with and upon the neces-
saries. Like those who must, the aver
age patriot must somehow learn TO do
with less.
What will you curtail?
