forced them do all within their power to discredit embarrass MT. Suzer, Alaska's Delegate in Con- gress and the Democratic leader of the Ter rtory who is striving with all of his fine abilities to give effect and force his pledges the people of Alaska.
 As part of his program, afraid to become a candidate himself, he brought out of his appoint candidate for the Democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress- Mir Maloney, in statement given out at Wrangell admitted that he became candidate moment when it discovered that Gov Strong would offer himself a candi- He, in other words, is admittedly the personal representative in this campaign the Canadian citi- who has been serving Governor of Alaska he is Strong's spite candidate.
 Of course Gov. Strong and the coterie of his appontees and dsgruntled politicians who are work ing with him, do not expect to eject Mr. Maloney. Gov. Strong brought out MT Maoney candidate for the sole purpose of delivering the Democratic party to Judge Wickersham and to punish people who opposed his reappoinment. It is proposed to do that by having Wickershames, who expect to Wickersham in fall, for MT. Maloney in the Democratic primary. Gov. Strong and Judge Wickersham in hard and fast combination to capture Alaska.
 But they may be assured that they cannot defeat Mr Sulzer in this way. In trying to do it they might lose the Republican nomination. for Judge Wicker sham. There are many decent Republicans who are Governor and his political machine and the political bushwhacker who is known to be willing to sacrifice his party Territorys best interests for his own gorification and government pay checks.
 Under all the circumstances The Empire believes the people of Alaska will not stand for Wickersham- Strong combination to control the two great political parties and the Territory of Alaska.

w II Y :?

Why all this abuse of Judge Jennings, and Dele gate Sulzer, and Thomas J. Donohoe, and Judge Bun nell and Senator Roman, and Attorney General Grigs by Representative Casey and Representative Sowerby and all other leading citizens of Alaska, and The Empire by itinerate preacher-politician? Why these called Huns and crooks? Where their treason and what their crimes?
 Have they been dsloyal to America? Have they committed crime? Have they connved at lawlessness and disorder? Are they undesirable citizens? Have they spent of years more each in Alaska in the of dishonor? Have they betrayed trusts reposed in them?
 Why do Chechakos call upon Almighty God and Jesus of Nazareth to come to Alaska and destroy these citizens of Alaska?
 y View it from any angle all angles, and then the answer They have done their parts good citizens to help retire Judge Wickersham to private lfe and they have secured the appointment of a clean American citizen Governor of Alaska That is why they abused.

Luke McLuke Says

The reason why a Princess will a nineteen-year-old cigarette cre- mator is because she never lets her Father get a word in edgeways because Father does not know what he is talking about. Nature is pretty decent old cuss after all. She has fixed it so that women get their noses red when they cry, and that is the only req son why they do no bawl more than they do
 When a man has no truth in him 1t makes him mad to find that his children tell lie once in while
 A girl hates to have her fel- low call on her in the evening when he needs shave because it gives her red cheeks to sit beside him on the lounge in the front room.
 A man can get up and fix his own breakfast if he has to. But i if he ever does it once his wife is going to hear about it every day for the next three years.
 Another good bet is that the in- side of the family Bible doesn't t show the marks of use as much as the cover does.
 A man has better memory than girl. A girl has to learn how to swim all over again every Summer.
 A lot of men never combine business and pleasure, because they can see no good reason for spelling l pleasure
 i It doesn't hurt to tell the truth once in while. Men say that women talk too much, because they do not like the other sex to inter- l fere in one of mans favorite pas times.
 l A girl will marry man she has known twenty weeks. Then she why.
 The spring cantelOupe will soon be on the market, and it might be well to send the chisel out and have an edge puton it.
 Habit is a great thing. An ex- perienced married man may forget to take off his shoes before he goes to bed, but he never forgets to hide his money.
 When a girl gets the idea that she has a Perfect Figure it takes a lot of will power on her part tc keep from dressing like the cuts in the lingerie ads.

THE SPORT OF KILLING
 MEN.

Leslies.) Far off in France the smoke clouds
 rise
 As the eannons thunder when We go to join in the greatest
 game
 In the sport of killing men. Here is no place for gentle thoughts, No room for humane things, But blood and blows and sudden death
 The trump cards of the Kings. Dealth out to us who bear our In the muddle of right and
 wrong, Yet thrill with joy at the battle cry,
 Though few against the strong! With sword and song we join the
 host,
 Thin-spread in the fighting ranks, To lend a hand in the desperate
 work
 And follow the clanking tanks. Across the fields where flowers
 grow
 And lowing kline once fed With steel and flame we do out bit To multiply the dead! The dead alone who count in war As stakes in the royal play, Once men like us with hearts and
 souls, Now spurned and cast away! So face the game with best to
 match
 As the cannons thunder when We charge and fall at the trumpet's In the sport of killing men!

The statement that Judge Jennings wanted the Governorship of Alaska is direct misrepresentation Judge Jennings enodrsed at time for Gov of the Territory though he stated that he did the place, that he would greatly prefer to be United States District Judge. His fine fitness to chief executive and the fact that he is recognized in Washington forceful, able fearless, patriotic American citizen, of the highest integrity, caused the organization to his appointment against his de- sires, until it learned that Thomas Riggs jr., would accept the appointment if it rendered him. As soon as it learned that MT. Riggs would take the Governorship Judge Jennings refused to permit further consideration of his From that mo- ment the organization had other candidate than Mr. Riggs and none other urged The Democrats of Alaska recognized in Mir Riggs with all the traits character and ability necessary to make excellent Governor fearless and independent tive, and for a moment did support of him waver These facts known to all members of the Democratic organization, to Gov. Riggs and to others Any statement to the contrary is offered for the purpose of misleading the people
 Judge Jennings temporary candidacy and the sue cessful candidacy of MT. Riggs both represented a desire on the part of Americans to get clean pro gressive American in the Governors chair.

AN ATTEMPT TO MISLEAD

The Wickte attempt to make the voters of Alaska believe that Delegate Sulzer is responsible for the fact that Canadian steamers carrying freight and passengers between American ports in Alaska on regular schedule is deliberate attempt to mis- lead the people. It is not true and all who know anything about the situation know it is not true The statement that foreign ships doing that erywhere else in the United States is absolutely false and those who say it know it if they know anything about the subject There is place except on the Great Lakes where foreign ships ply between Ameri- can ports and do coastwise business and there the Canadian government gives American ships the privi- lege of trading between Canadian ports The state men that if the amendment in the shipping bill ex- emptng Alaska from it's operations had been there Canadian ships would be carrying freight between American ports is absurd and offered only for the purpose of misleading the people. Those who urge it know that it is false.

 Arnet (lshaunl Hendrickeon claims that the oldest joke is the one about the angler who wanted to go fishing on the Virginia side of Chesapeake Bay and who found a colored man asleep in a boat The fisherman woke the darkey and made arrangements to rent the boat for the day. He got into the boat and said to the darkey, Can you row." No. sah," replied the darkey. The fisherman then took the oars and rowed about four miles to his fla vorite fishing grounds, while the darkey curled up in the stern of the boat and went asleep. That af- ternoon the fisherman rowed the boat back. His hands were covered with blisters and he was swearing like trooper. When he reached shore ha paid the darkey and step ped out of the boat. The darkey then took the oars and began row ing the boat toward town like a refular "old salt" Hey" yelled the fisherman, 'I asked you if you could row, and you told me you couldn't" oh replied the dark ey. you all mean row boat, didn't yo?

$4,000 being voluntarily subscribed
en- the opening day. Send the mes

The honor roll of those who came
forth on the opening day, followed by
others cn later days, manifests Ia
loyal spirit for democracy. The COM
mittee having the work in charge is
TO be congratulated and the subscrib-
ers to the loan may rest assured they
have made a good investment. The

KILLING DOCTORS

In this war the wounded are not
objects Of pity to the enemy but fu-
ture fighting men; doctors and nurses
are no longer ministers OF mercy, but
conservers of the battle strength of
the enemy. The German general staff,
with that strange, remorseless, inhu-
man logic which has made the Ger
man psychology a puzzle and a horror
to the civilized world, has refused to
recognize the age-old immunities Of

HONOR THE MARINES

In another column of this paper will
be found a statement by Captain
Reed Of Ripon adding strength to the
assertion many times made that it
was the American marines who turned
the Germans back at Chateau-Thierry
and saved Paris. 1t is to their honor
they sent the enemy on their first
steps homeward and lifted cloud OF
despair from the world. Secretary
Daniels reports that of the 5000 who
went into that bloody conflict, 5000
were either killed or wounded-an
awful toll This chivalry justifies all
the good things that can be said Of
the marine corps. In history it will
always be pointed out that Chateau
Thierry was the place where the for
tunes of the world war turned in
France, due to the bravery of the ma
rines. Living or dead glory to the
marines.

depressed soon after the war began
He learned that the theory of the mil
itary experts, so-called, was that only
those still young enough to shave
themselves with the feeling Of pride
which gives way to boredom after
novelty becomes routine were young
enough to fight. The man beyond 40,
yet good deal upon the sunny side
of so, had not thought of himself as
an old gentleman or as middle-aged
man. He turkey-trotted with the
best Of them. He managed, after a
fashion, not graceful, perhaps, the
tango when that ballroom feat was
in vogue. He was not beyond tennis.
He could walk all day after the dogs
with a gun through weeds and briars
and call it sport. His theory was that
a mans as old as he chooses to act.
He had been brought up on the idea
that those who settle down grow old
prematurely and that those who do as
young persons do remain young long
time and live merrily. II didn't real
ize till this war began that l was an
old man" was the assertion heard
widely and often when the first draft
law was under discussion.
But behold the transformation. Young
er men still are preferred by the army
makers, but the man Of As, and up to
46. is included in the draft when the
nations full man power is wanted!
He has been registered, and stands at
attention awaiting his call to the col
ors. He is beginning to feel like he
felt before he was made believe that
he was an oldish fellow, fitted to sit
by the freside upon long winter even
ings, doing and dreaming of his van
ished youth, than to go forth upon
stormy nights to sentry duty. The
man beyond 40 is beginning to believe
that after all he still is in the ring!
