High School Piano Is Held for Making

The Redpath Chautauqua will open
next Tuesday afternoon at $3.50, on
the beautiful lot rendered by Judge
Harmon. This lot faces on Irish
street, and is just north Of the swim
ming pool.
The Chautauqua comittee wanted
to donate any funds realized from
this week Of religious, educational
and musical instruction to the local
chapter Of the Red Cross, Such a
plan, however, can be advertised only
when the entire proceeds can be do
mated, so they have decided to do the
next best thing and give the amount
to the High School, to apply on the
purchase of their piano.
To secure the Chautauqua it was
necessary for us to agree to sell 600
season tickets at $3.50 each. These
tickets have been received, distribu-
ted to the various subscribers and a
large number of them sold. You are
requested to deliver these tickets now
and turn in your checks to w. III,
Armitage, Secretary and Treasurer.
Now the first 100000 from season
tickets sold lin excess Of 6OO) will 20
directly to the High School; also one
helf of all single admission tickets as
provided for in the contract.
Now, people, Of Greeneville and
Greene county, we happen to know
that you have worked hard and faith
fully in various war ways for some
time past, and you are certainly en-
titled to this week of diversion, rest,
entertainment and refreshmant; t6.
spend an hour each afternoon and
evening with these good people who
come from all parts of the world to
our very door You can meet young
man who has flown over the Scared
war-torn fields of Belgium for two
years; who has shot down eighteen
German flyers. Such records are rare
and this opportunity will likely not
come again. We refer to Captain
Campbell. The opera Of the "Choco-
late Soldier" in any city will cost you
$500 or more. With your season
ticket you can see it for II cents.
The entire week is filled with hours of
interest to everyone and we want you
to come and bring your friends. The
program is not only patriotic, but is
highly endorsed by our President,
which in itself eliminates any further
argument. Come with us on this lit
tie trip to other lands and it will do
you good. "All work and no play"
will not win the war-and we MUST
WIN.

That Eisht-hour Law

In his Nome speech, and probably in other efforts delivered in the h. terior, James Wickersham declared he was 'in favor of the eight-hour law" but he did not state what par ticular eight-hour law he favored. Evi- dently he wanted the Nome people to believe that he was in favor of the law passed by the Alaska legislature
 known as the general eight-bour law" and which was declared to be invalid, for he sneeringly remarked that 1t was "obligingly declared to be unconstitutional" Evidently he spoke very guardedly on this subject. for he said he had been told to keep silent on this subject" And so he spoke in generalities. James Wicker sham was too astute to impe-il his reputation as a lawyer by vouching for the validity of this measure. He allowed the people to believe that he favored 1t, but he avoided any thing in the nature of upholdng it's validity If he really believes the law should have stood. let him take issue with John w. Davis, the solici tor general of the department of jus tlce, who instructed Attorney Gen eral Grigsby, upon authority of the attorney general of the United States, that this department does not see any ground upon which argument could be based in support of the stat ute in question" (the general eight hour law. and he was informed that an appeal could not be prosecuted.
 This is too serious question to be juggled fin this demagogic manner. The people of this territory wanted an eight-hour day, but they wanted one that was valid and equitable as we'll, If Wickersham believes the

Should he be defeated at the coming election. which seems unbelievable. he would return to his occupation in Alaska, not to an office Outside. It is such men as Sulzer, working for the upbuilding of this new country, who know it's needs and are better qualified to represent the in terests of the people than any pere- grinating officeholder, whose only in. terest in the territory is and has been the holding of public office
 All accounts seem to agree that as far as the Fourth division is con- cerned there is little reason to doubt that the vote this year will favor the Democratic nominee.

pelled to seek occupation elsewhere. James Wickersham never has been a resident of Alaska in the true sense of the word. He came here as an officeholder and he held office con. tinuously until two years ago, since which time he has spent his days outside the territory. This probably Is the reason why on his cards which have been so widely and profusely distributed he calls himself "Alaska's s friend" much in the same manner that members of the Seattle Chamber or Commerce pride themselves on be- ing friendly to Alaska. It is taken for granted that a resident of Alaska is "Alaska's friend" It is only those whose residence is elsewhere who find 1t necessary to designate themselves as such.

The amendment Is one whereby the secretary of war is authorized in the future to make estimates for road building and maintenance in Alaska.
 Ever since the organization of the Alaska road commission the secretary of war has asked for various sums annually for road work in Alaska. These estimates were made without legislative authority, and sometimes in the face of opposition in congress. X point of order was sufficient to have these items stricken, and this Is what occurred last year, but due to Delegate Sulzer's efforts they were 
 The procedure under Delegate Sul gers amendment will be that the sec retary of war will make his estimates for Alaska road work, and these will be incorporated in the appropriation bill fathered by the war department.

And thus by cooperative work on the part of the Alaska dele agte with the constituted authorities n source of continual irritation has been removed.
