MORE wIcKERSHAM SPLEEN

Delegate Wickersham charged in his represents tious before Congress in behalf of his prohibition bill that the National Liquor Dealers Association used money corrupty in the recent wet and dry election campaign" Among the useg he said that they put the money to- and he int:mates that is was corrupty expended was flor the purpose of purchasing news papers"
 The Delegate proceeded further. He sad that if the settlement of the prohibition question put in the hands of Territorial Legislature the National Liquor Dealers Association would attempt to corrupt the Legislature as it has attempted to corrupt the people Of Alaska"
 On account Of these things. the Delegate says, "I think that this Congress- while it has control of the situation had better keep it."
 Of course this is simply another case of exhibiting WicEersham spleen but they ere nasty charges to be made by a man in high office and in high place before committee of Congress. They reflect upon the press of Alaska and upon the people and those whom the people have chosen to represent them in the Legislature. TT IS UP TO DELEGATE WICK, ERsHAM TO MAKE HIS CHARGES GOOD OR RE TRACT.
 If what Delegate WiCkerShGm says is true. he should be talking to Grand Juries in Alaska instead of using his alleged facts for the purpose of depryng the people of Alaska of the privileges og secg0vern- ment.
 The people Of Alaska have a right to know wheh. any of the newspapers of the Territory sold themselves in the recent campaign or any other, and they must not be asked to convict the papers the general statements Of g dIsgrunted and repudi4ted politician. It is up to the Delegate to Congress to be more definite and certain in his charges exon- crate the newspapers at least
 The Empire accepted advertising from the Ma tonaI Liquor Dealers Association and paid for it. It also accepted advertising the dry organization and paid for it. Neither the vets nor the drys attempted to influence its position the prohibition proposition, one way or the other.

MACHINE CREATED A STIR
Continuance Which Alaskan Is Conf
dent Will Work Must Be
Wonder.

A. A. Allen, better known to fame
as "Scotty," who was recently elect
ed a member of the Alaskan terri
torial legislature, proposes to attempt
the 1,500-mile trip from his home to
Juneau, the capital, in. a new me-
chanical continuance which is a COM
bination Of the airplane, automobile
and Yukon bobsled. Allen sold 430
malamute dogs to the French gov
eminent while back and spent some
time in the Nosges mountains teach
ing French soldiers how to drive.
While thus engaged he observed the
maneuvers of airplanes making OBJ
servations and conceived the idea of
his new contrivance, which a Cali
fornia manufacturer built for him.
On election day Allen and Nate
Coombs, his colleague in the legisla-
ture, tried out the new machine at
Nome, where it created such amaze
ment among the residents that many
of them, after seeing the thing skit-
tering about through the atmos-
phere, changed their minds and
voted for prohibition. It is said
that Aliens chief difficulty will be
in obtaining gasoline for his engine,
a fuel which can be had in Alaska
only along well-traveled routes.
