In the hearing before the committee on elections said that he purposey wrote the organic Alas ka the Territorial Legislature would have the authority to pass Australian ballot law He said that he had limited the authority of the Legislature to prevent the Territory from destroying itself The Australian ballot is instrument designed pro- tec the ballot box from bribery, coercion and other forms of fraud and corruption A fair primary law and the Australian ballot would prevent the debauch- ing of political party by it's enemies the rape and wrote organic act, according to his dec larations, designed to make them impossible in Alas ka.

 No one will be disposed to question Judge Wick ersham's declaration to what his purpose was That he is not strong for popular government has been known for long time. But fortunately it is the opn- ion of the Chairman of the committee which heard the Delegateship that did not accomplish his purpose. Chairman Riley J. Wilson of the com mittee in the of the discussion the contest told Judge Wckersham that there is absolutely no question but that the Territorial Legislature had full authority to pass mandatory Australian ballot law He said also, that it makes difference to the committee whether Judge Jennings had jurisdiction the whether there an error on the part of the court in not compelling the attorneys for MT Suzer to make Judge Wickersham party the suit. He said the whole qeustion whether or not Judge Jennings opinion that the Australian ballot law had been violated sound not

MRS HATCHER'S FINE SOUTHERN MAN
(Ketchikan Progressive-Miner)

(Ketchkan ProgressiveMiner)
 Mrs. Cornelia Tempeton Hatcher said in her r re, cent speech here that Governor Strong that flne Southern man." couldn't resign under fire
 This has proven huge joke It turns out that Governor Strong is not citizen of the United States Here is man who for five years has been holding the office of Governor of Alaska, and during all this time he has been doing pretty low and mean thing.
 By posing citizen of the United States, he has been knowingly and flagrantly imposing on our citizens and on the Government. Fine Southern Man, indeed, Strong is Canadian and not very savory at that. He could not even sit on jury or take up mining claim vote at the primary or genera! election or in a city election. He could not resign under fire' but he must have had monumental gall
 This paper is not Democratic in any sense of the word but it would that the Democratic Terror- ia Committee knew what it was about when it re- fused to endorse Strong for reappointment
 We think Wickersham must have known Strong S weak point and held it as club over his head ana forced Strong into an alliance with him, for in no other way can we account TOT the strange act'on of Strong in wishing to give Wick a certificate ot election votes which were in open disregard oT the Australian ballot system passed by the last Leg isature Strong brings out Maloney one of his own appontees try beat Charles Suzer for the Demo cratic nomination by the aid of Wick Republicans voting at Democratic primaries that Wick may have easy to beat at the fall election
 By the way-we have heard it faintly rumored that Wick may not get the Republican nomination at all They say that large number of Republicans around here and at other parts of Alaska who know James Wick for what he is, intend to vote for some else at their primaries. This they easily do by scratching out Wicks name and writing the name of someone else in the blank underneath We have even heard that the mans name has been agreed upon and the word has been passed along the line
 Wonder what's up? It would be quite joke on the willy Wick if he should be caught mapping This fight is going to be between Wick and Sulzer and between the two l believe this paper is for Sulzer Sulzer has made the best Delegate Alaska has ever had and besides he is a man of his word and that is than Wick is, ever will be- Sulzer has quietly built up an influence in Washington, D. C., which will be for the benefit of Alaska He has done this by and good sense One of the best things to Sulzer's credit is that he has been ntrumental in ridding Alaska of Strong the lmpOster.

Mrs Hatcher, referring to Delegate Sulzer's work with Senators, said 'he elected to the House and the Senate' Any who knows anything about the matter at all knows that Delegate Sulzer cannot get action any measure that he might without the Senate acts on it as well as the House and Alaska has member of the Senate. The people of Alaska must depend upon MT Suzer to win the friendship of the Senate for this Territory as well as that of the House. He is our only Repre- sentative at the National capital and his work is with the Executive Departments and Senate and House of Representatives

MAY BE HOISTED BY THEIR OWN PETARD

At this writing there to be a chance that the Wickershamites might be hosted by their own petard.

TAKE AWAY THE BAUBLE

What was formerly only popular dissent in Can ada expressed against hereditary nobility has taken the form of concrete legislative action in the Domn ion Parliament Orders in Council, which have the effect of complete state action in times have been filed with the proper authorities in Britain by Premier Borden declaring against the comforting of honors tituar distinctions upon subject residents in Canadian territory those for military prow- ess and these only upon the recommendation of the Prime Minister. Absolute rejection hered- tary title is voiced and the proposal made ing titles shall, after certain period be terminated through suspension of descent.
 From the very beginning there has been stern and stold objection to the creation of peerage in the highly democratic Dominion, and every sue ceeding patent from the has served only to fan the flame of discomfort with the practice The anomaly of the condition sought to be maintained and extended has been lost sight of by the democratic objectors By of the distinguished service of many Canadians in battle the pressure for extension of titular rewardng has grown. Evidently so has opposition. It is noteworthy that the or. ders in Council signed by one who is affected by the adverse action. Sir Robert Borden that they will be supported by another who has long worn

Luke McLuke Says

The reason why a woman isn't a bit afraid of a male thing like a husband is because she is scared to death of a female thing like cook.
 Do your best all the time, and even if you do make few mis- takes, you can tell your critics to go to blazes.
 You put a mighty low valuation on your jewelry when the assessor comes around. But a pawnbroker will put an even lower valuation on it when you try to hook it. Some men would give lot to be able to remember. And some men would give more to be able to forget.
 Man is never satisfied. If he makes a million dollars he isn n't happy until he has two million dol lars. And if he finds gold mine he goes hunting for another one.
 A boys idea of happiness is to have all the ice cream and cake he can eat. And a girls idea of hap niness is to have all the nice clothes she can wear.
 Sometimes a canvaSSer makes a sale at house door and credits his salesmanship with the order, when the truth of the matter is that the woman gave him an order because boys who left home and hasn't been heard from since.
 We do not object to seeing a wo- man wearing stockings that are white. But wo do object to seeing a woman wearing stockings that were white when she first put them on.
 Yes, sir. They all look good from the rear. And it kind of jars you to admire a fine pair of Corn Fed then catch up and discover that the posscssor of the shape is about AS years old and has a face like a hatchct.
 We used to know a fellow who could repeat a dozen of the Psalms by heart, who could recite the Ten Commandments and name all of the books in the Eible in rotation. But everybody in town knew that he would steal anything from a hay stack to a safety pin if you didn't keep an eye on him. Most of your mistakes are due to the lack of sense rather than a lack of knowledge.

If the bill to make unlawful the utilization of the game that is lawfully killed in the Fairbanks country is defeated will be due to the efforts of Judge Wick ersham He is the who set Dr. Hornaday against the bill just he is the who started Mrs Hatcher after Delegate Sulzers full Territorial gov ernment bill In both there was no purpose to serve the people of Alaska The only desire was to cmbarrass Alaska's Delegate in Congress.

No wonder the Maloneyites scared stiff at the prospect of Republicans writing in the name of can didate for the nomination for Delegate to Congress on the Republican primary ballot. If the Wickersham ties are left vote for Maloney at the Demo cratic primary they know that Maloney will not get corporaIs guard. They know that the Democrats of Alaska-the supporters of the Wilson Administration are for Sulzer.

Alaska has passed through of the worst win ters in her history. There has been cold and than at any time since the first settler landed And yet there have been far fewer casual ties this winter than at any time for the past years. Fewer persons have been frozen to death and fewer have suffered from frost bites than for many winters past. Whether this is of a more limited population and the cessation of mining, or is caused by old residents taking greater precautions deponeth sayeth not.-(Valdez Prospector)
