CREDIT NOTICE

An examination of our books dur ing the past few months discloses where we have extended credit over the 30 day period the old accounts remain on our books. Accounts which grow so large that no busi- ness based upon fair dealing and reasonable profit can carry the bur. den. Therefore, it has been decid- ed on and after May 1, 1917, all patrons of this firm-Without excep- tion-will not be extended credit when an old account extending be- yong 30 days remains on our books. We desire to impress upon our customers that the constantly in creasing cost of living is further ad- vanced by careless credits adding to the dealers yearly overhead, and it is with a view of keeping prices to the lowest limit, promoting honesty and fair dealing that this action is taken.

DEMOCRATS HAVE COSEN LEADER

It is vain for Wickershamites to talk about what the rank and file of the Democrats of Alaska want m the way of leadership The rank and file or the Democrats of Alaska have said their say. They have chosen Charles Suzer to lead them, and their choice was approved by the voters of the Territory Nothing has indicated they have repented of their action He is their leader until another primary day shall the party is to be useful II 1t IS to De anything else than mob quarreling over offices 1t will follow the leadership of Delegate Sulzer An at tempt to go his head at this time is to give comfort and aid the It is party treachery.
 Delegate Ssulzers right of leadership is emphasized by the circumstance that it is approved by the over whelmingly elected Democratic Attorney General by the Democratic National Commteeman by the Demo- cratic Territorial Central Commttee; by the major ity of the Democratic Divisional Committees; by the Democratic press of the Territory, and by Democratic thought.
 It is further emphasized by the circumstance that it offers the only way by which get that CO operation of effort and concert of action that is es- sential good government and progress in Alaska.
 In natural sequence this brings to another phase of the Alaskan situation. The Empire believes that it should be plain to anyone that person who is not in harmony with this position should be didate for any office which has connection with the formation of governmental policies in Alaska
 Delegate Sulzer, National Committeeman Donohoe, the Democratic Territorial Central Committee and oth Democrats have endorsed Judge Jennings for the Governorship of Alaska, notwithstanding that he is not candidate the office and has not been such but would far prefer in his capacity Judge to which he has been reapponted Under the cir cumstances The Empire believes that Judge Jennings should be appointed Governor if he would accept the place. Otherwise some other strong worthy capa ble Alaskan who possesses the confidence of the peo pie of the Territory. and who work aggressive ly in cooperation with the peoples representative in Congress, whose appointment would promote the nee essary harmony. rather than discord should be ap pointed the organization that is in position Alaska at the present time.

Like the rap of the auctioneers gavel at a public sale makes the bidders sorry that they did not bid once more. the candidates in the BUICK race will wish for just one more bonus, after the close of the first extra offer is over tomorrow night. So, while the time is yet to spare, get busy and round up that extra one. When you see the BUICK it will make you wish that you had two extra offers more to secure.
 There is no way that the ofrer that comes to a close can be repeat ed or extended. Also remember that the lead at the close of this offer

 One distinguished trait of the American navy from the days of Paul Jones those of George Dewey has been it's willingness to force battle against heavy odds Unless some highly scientific method of dealing with the submarines shall be discovered there be only recourse for the Allies, and that will be to hunt out in it's andocked fastness the German navy, which is the prolific mother of submarines In that desper ate enterprise who doubt that the United States will give a good account of itself?
