Items from Interviews.
Tho American singer must work
ly. To gain success the artist must
work sincerely and continuously. He
must labor not only on the largo. pic
turesque parts OF the work, but also
on tho details. Moreover-and this Is
most tmpQrtant-the artist must love
his work. He must love It entirely
and devotedly and he must give up
everything for it."-Paul Althouse
One thin: I have always opposed
in recitals Is the practice OF women
singing songa-love songs and other

Our belief is that he will weather
the present storm in good shape but
he should have a care for the break

will stand or fall upon the outcome

ing of their constituents and the
chances for reelection. For a time, at
least, patriotism will abdicate in favor
of politics.
In company with good citizens every
where we had entertained hopes that
the congressional elections would be
contested purely on war issues and
the merits of the respective candi-
dates. But such hopes are already
blasted. The Prohibitionists propose
to wage a bitter fight for the ratifica-
ton of their pet amendment. The suf-
fragists have succeeded in raising a
big slush fund and are likely to spend
it in a manner that will greatly en-
barrass the President. Labor intends
to take an active hand in the cam
paign, and heaven only knows what
other movement will next loom up
against the horizon.
It was following the disaster at
Leipsic that Napoleon, upon return
ing to France and finding the citizens
in a turmoil remarked to one of his
marshals: q would rather turn in
my tracks and fight the million men
who are threatening humiliation to-
the remnant of my army than face the
disorders of my empire" And
President Wilson must soon find him
self in a similar state of mind unless

the labor leaders stop rocking the boat

''AMERICA."

In addition to the four stanzas of
America" which are usually sung, a
fifth has been added and is being sung
in schools and public gatherings
throughout the United States. 1t is
a modification of stanza which has
been added to God Save the King"
and which is now being sung through
out Canada. The sentiment expressed
is such that every Alaska school can
take it up and join the thousands who
are daily praying that the splendid
forces of democracy may prevail and
that our American boys may acquit
themselves with honor and return
again to us victorious, patient, chival-
rous" and with names unsullied The
stanza referred to reads as follows:
God save our splendid men,
Bring them safe home again, -
God save our men.
Make them victorious,
Patient and chivalrous,
They are so dear to us,

A FAIR PROPOSITION.

The need for aeroplane lumber is
very apparent from the offer the gov
eminent is making per thousand feet
On the face of it one should think it
great temptation for the lumber
men; yet there seems to be no great
hurry on their part 20 tackle the Job
There are several reasons for this.
Among them-besides the scarcity of
clear timber, and one of the great
drawbacks is the fact that the govern
ment wants stumpage.
Speaking to lumber man a few
days ago, he said in part: "If the
government is in great need of Alaska
spruce why this charge for stumpage?
Why not give the men a chance?"
Looking into the question a little
further, we find that a man may have
to cut down many trees before one is
found suitable, and the stumpage is
accumulating For a man is charged
every tree he falls. OF course should
fortune favor him, he might come
across a nice bunch of timber and
make good money at the price the gov
eminent is offering. But there is the
element of gamble involved, which
very few men, comparatively speaking
are ready to take. According to that
man, the government takes no
chances. The stumpage is assured.
From that it would seem fair that
the government should risk the price
of the stumpage against mans time.
The latter is willing to gamble his
time against stumpage, which is JUS
tice should be all that the government
should require.
