WANTS PUBLICITY BUREAU EXTENDED.

The Fairbanks Citizen urges the extension of Alaska Publicity Bureau throughout the Territory. very strongly favors the Bureau at Juneau with J. White in charge, and wants it extended u there may be branches of it located at various tow throughout the Territory.
 The Citizen says:
 "A local representative would be in touch with the headquarters at Juneau and they would work directly in connection with it, and so would be able to locate workers or positions in other parts of the Territory. A local representative would be enabled to han de the other work of publicity with which the bureau is engaged. This is the spread ing of Alaskan propaganda throughout the United States to attract settlers to this coun- try of opportunity after the war.
 "The Interior needs to have it's advantages set forth by one who is closely in contact with conditions here, and for this reason local man could handle this phase of the work better than in Juneau.
 "The whole Territory is greatly in need of a campaign of healthy publicity through out the States. There has been too much Of the unhealthy, scandaous sort of notoriety circulated about the Territory for it's own good in the future This must be counteract- ed and the facts brought to the public atten- tion in true light in order that the right sort of people may be induced to come here to make their homes and aid in the development of the untold resources of this land of oppor- tunty and promise.
 'Tel your troubles to the publicity bureau, and it will do all in it's power to right them for you. It is organized for the benefit of Alaskans, first and foremost, and it is up to Alaskans to show their appreciation of its ef- forts in their behalf. It is measure intro duced by Governor Riggs, and gives great promise of success. It is venture into an unknown field for Alaska, and is deserving of our support in it's efforts to be of service

Illinois Road Improvement.
est. Louis Republic. )

(St Louis Republlc.)
 The most important road improvement to come before the voters at the November election is in Illinois, where it will be determined whether the State shall be authorized to issue $60, ,00O 900 in bonds for the construction of hardsurfaced high ways serving all parts of the Commonwealth.
 The proposed bond issue is unique in that the funds to pay the bonds and all interest thereon will be de- rived from the State automobile license fees, so no general for that purpose will be necessary In order not to interfere with work Gov Lowden has given a pledge that of the bonds will be offered for sale until peace is declared From pres ent indication that may be almost any time within the next l2 months and it is highly important that Illinois shall prepared to ahead with this great work as soon the is over.
 The slogan if the highway boosters is Pull Illin- ois Out if the Mud and it looks very much as if the people if the States would do it by passing the largest and most comprehensive road-improvement measure ever adopted by any State.

Japan's Rising Democracy.
(New York World.)


 For the first time since the Constitution of Japan promulgated in 1889 by Mikado who lad overthrown the Shogun and the military caste, Japan has Ministry led by untitled citizen who is the head of political party Like his aris- predecessors he is responsible to the Emper or and not to Parliament, but when political party powerful enough to set aside long established monarchical political and social it be ex- pected soon to work out far-reaching constitutional reforms
 Democracy has been making headway in Japan gigantic strides, especially since the beginning of the present The Government and the army of the empire organized chiefly upon German lines but the recent alliance with Great Brit ain and the wonderfully receptive attitude of the people toward the liberal principles of English speaking nations have made modification of that system in evitabe. economic conditions also arising during the war, from which the great mass of the people suffer keenly, democracy has received new impulses
 Perhaps the most encouraging phase of this situation is the unanmity with which the press supports the innovation for the sake of progress insists that the new Cabinet have every opportunity to carry out it's plans If Japan of it's motion should estab- fish Parliamentary rule and Ministerial responsibility in advance of Germany, coerced and chastened, 1t would be significant triumph for people long hated and beed in Berlin.

Female Candidates Elected to City,

in Congress Race

San Francisco, Nov. 9.-Feminine
aspirants in the far west who
sought seats in congress failed
without exception in Tuesdays
elections. but many other women
candidates for lesser elective hon
ors won success in their campaigns
for state. county and municipal Of
ices. Two women candidates for
the United States senate-represen
tative Jeanette Rankin of Montana
and Miss Anne Martin of Nevada
made notable campaigns, but were
badly distanced by their masculine
opponents.
Many. western legislatures will
seat women members and in at
least one respect California Will
witness this unusual experience for
the first tune. Four women were
elected to the lower house and
three of them without opposition.
All are Republicans.
In Utah three women were elect

chosen as county treasurers and
two as county recorders. Virtually
all are Democrats.
Nevada elected only one woman
and she will sit in the lower house
of the legislature.
In Washington one woman goes
to the legislature.
In New Mexico four women were
elected county school superintend-
ents.
Arizona elected two women to
the legislature and elected another
county recorder.
Colorado elected a state. super
intendent of public instruction and
two other women to the legislature.
In Oregon, women were uniform

legislature.
Montana women who supported
Repres entative Rankin for the

ISOLATION in the fact that the leg
