THE CONTEST CAMOUFLAGE.

In his speech Monday night Delegate Sulzer threw light on the Deegateship contest that exposed the camouhage of the Wickershamtes in this matter Judge Wickersham has been telling the peo- pie of Alaska that House Elections Committee No 1, which has been considering the Alaska Delegateslip contest has reported in his favor The Dispatch has reiterated this declaration and accused Delegate Sul and The Empire of trying to suppress the facts. Delegate Sulzer read letter from Congressman Ben jamn F. Wety, of Ohio, member of House Election Committee No 1 who said the final hearing of the committee had not occurred and probably would not until after the election, when MT. Sulzer and MT. Wckersham both be in Washington. He also read letter from Congressman Albert F. Polk of Del aware member of the committee, who said that he did not know what the report of the committee would be and could not tell if he did know Both Congressmen spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Sul- ger, the dignifed manner in which he had conducted his side of the election contest and expressed the hope that he would be reelected.
 Now if members of the committee say the final hearing has not taken place, that they do not know what the report will be, that they could not tell what it will be if they knew, why should any body else know more about it? How Mr. Sulzer know for instance, if MT. Polk does not know?
 The facts just MT. Sulzer and The Empire have said many times: The committee has not re- ported, knows when it will report what its ing the committees action have been conjectural.

Helping the Liberty Bond Market
(New York World. )

Secretary McAdoo has two purposes to in asking Congress for legislation exempting to a limited extent from the surtaxes of the income taxes in the pending War Revenue Bill the Lib ery bonds to be offered and those out standing, the 3k per cents, which al ready and altogether tax-exempt. He wants to help along the new loan and he wants to better the market for bonds of the previous two loans.
 His plan of modified tax exemption has met with an immediate response far the and A cents outstanding concerned. Their market yesterday was very active at improving prices, and holds out the possibility that may not have to resort to the, abolition of free mar ket for these bonds and substitute restricted mar ket such obtains in Canada and is referred to by MT. McAdoo in his letter to MT Kftchin
 That the plan will have decidedly stimulating effects upon subscriptions to the coming Fourth Liberty Loan is beyond question: As the higher surtaxes incomes above 1000 will have the effect of reducing the interest the bonds the proposed tax exemptions will have the effect in- creasing the interest return to the large of potential subscribers described well-to-do but wealthy. The Secretary felt that he had to choose between raising the interest increasing the exemption and he regarded the latter more cxpedient and wiser course.
 The situation is highly complicated by the de- lay of Congress in enactng the War Tax Bill. It is practically certain that the loan will have to be foated without certain knowledge the part of anybody of what this years taxes be The proposed limited tax exemptions will help greatly kind of insurance against this harmful uncer- tainty, and it is to be hoped that Congress can at least possess itself of promptude of action in alleviating the mischief that has been done.

There have been considerable number of such losses and, in four years of war, of the older boats must be beyond repair obsolete by this time.

GERMANY WEAKENS.

The news to the effect that Germany has ac- eeded to the Spanish demands and will over to Spain all shipping interned in Spanish ports indicates that Germany has learned something since the day when negotiations being carried with the United States.
 There was limit to Spanish patience some where, and there indications that the limit not far off It announced several da. ago that the Spanish and American Governments were about to reach agreement a large loan to be made by Spanish bankers, with the of the Spanish Government.
 This loan which to faclits te the purchase of supplies for the American Army, indicated say the least, that there unfriendiness in Spain toward this nation, and German officials could not fail to the point
 Germany cannot afford to make enemies. The old arrogance. which caused the German war lords to act as if few armies less opposed to Germany matter of no consequence, is gone. Therefore, when Spain asserts a right and at the same time shows signs of closer friendship to Germany's enemies, compliance takes the place of defiance If Germany really concludes agreement like that which is announced from Spain and keeps the agreement the facts will be evidence that Ger man resolution is weakening

TRYING TO DECEIVE.

Another barefaced attempt to deceive the fish ermen of Alaska made by the Boob-ized Dispatch when it said that Sulzers fisheries bill provided that fishermen could operate within 1000 feet of traps, and that it would permit the trapse holders to occupy all the fishing grounds. The very reverse of that is true. The b a matter of fact pro- vdes that traps shall be far enough apart to permit fishermen operate between them. If people be- lieve the limitations to the number of traps and the distance between them not adequate to meet the need, let them quit fbbing about the in tenion of the bill, which is clear, and make their opinions and the for them known.

Wickites insinuatingly ask, if the Delegate to Congress wanted to bring the fisheries question to Alaska for solution by the Territorial Legislature, why didn't he simply introduce bill transferring ur- isdicton to the Legislature and let the matter go at that Of the answer is plain to any one who thinks. Delegate Suzer has sought to pro vide for the regulation of fisheries pending action by the Legislature.
