POLITICAL POTTAGE.

The political history of most,
 if not all, of the Territories of the United States has been marked by trouble and discon- tent says Governor Strong. In
 the Territories political trou- bles are from time to time aug- mented by factional strife, and
 Alaska has had its full share of both. Discomfort with pol itical conditions is natural, for it is through this that reforms are inaugurated and abuses corrected; but factional strife, at least in Alaska, as has been demonstrated, is due to the de sire of a few, self-chosen lead CTS to dominate political con ditions for purposes far remov- ed from the altruistic. In other words, factional bitterness develops through an over whelming desire to secure the loaves and fishes which go with or are supposed to be a part of political patronage. In the minds of political patriots of this type, efficiency of gov ernment is the last considera- ton; the division of office and political pottage and the pres tige, power, and emoluments which are supposed to be a part and parcel of office hold ing. the first. All this makes for lack of unity and coordina- tion on the part of the people who, as whole, are anxious to

TRANSPORTING TROOPS.

When the story of the war Is told in the future it will be interesting to read the details of the manner in which the American expeditionary forces have to date been transported to France with no disaster. When one considers that no tranSnorts were available and all the vessels had to be furn- ished bv foreign powers or commandoered from American m merchantment, or from those of informed enemy ships, the record thus far made is truly a notable one and reflects credit upon the unknown men direct ing the great movement. When it is considered that these troon clips have passed through the war zone, carrying thousands of men and as many more animals and tons of car go, the fact that we have yet to hear a report of one notable disaster is in itself a striking illustration of the success of the movement. The port of de- parture, the number of men the name of the ship, have in variablv been censored and one only conjecture as to the extent of the movement, but it is safe to say that many thous- ands have already been safely transported, and during the next year our new army Of a

It should, of course, be distinctly emphasized that the movement accomplished to date is merely a starter for Great Britain in the last few years has moved thirteen millions of men, with a loss of only 2,700 by enemy action, and these millions of men have been moved from the Antipodes to France, Mesopo- tamia, Egypt, and various oth- CT localities, to say nothing of the stream of men passing across the English channel.

BRYAN AND THE BULL.

Speaking in the vcrnacular, that is the first t'me in our re- collection thaJ Brother Bryan ever got away from the bull. Of course, this bull that chas- ed him over the speeding sands of the Arizona desert, had legs, head, and horns. and Brother Bryan could see it coming. The kind of bull" that usually chases Brother Bryan back and forth across the country is not so easy for him to identify, or doubtless he would get away from it, too. In most cases it would be just as good news that Brother Bryan lost his "bull" ss that the bull lost Brother Bryan in the present instance.
 We note with grief that Brother Bryan "also lost most of his hunting suit in the flight" though we rejoice that the news dispatch is kind enough to spare us the details on that point, no matter what the movies might make of them. It is a narrowing spec tacle to see one of Brother Bryan's avoirdupois and TO- tundity pursuing the peaceful pastime of duck hunting and with no shelter but a mesquite tree, suddenly attacked by a wild animal that had never heard of the evils of prepared ness.
 It looks like his own parable of a million men sprilging to arms between snnrise s'ln., set to defend Brother Byyan from the ferocious assaflt of another kind of wild Animal which in this case also as in Arizona, was that somebody else had to come to the rescue, to ward off the attack and al- low the victims to get home with part of their clothes.- Detroit Saturday Night.

of the war? There have been doubts
and fears on this subject, not only in
Russia, but with the diplomatic heads

There is no doubt but what Russia
will remain with the allies; Japan and

very strong factors in expediting the
termination of the war. Greece ana
Spain will follow suit, while Portugal
