Speaking of the eight-hour law-the ridiculous side of which we have shown-we may add that its absurdity is mag nified with its operation. AL ready in our little tOwn-in one line of business at least the price of service has gone up as much as twenty-five per cent, the direct effect of the application of the law. with no possible chance of avoiding the increase.
 For the government to con- trol the price of coal, flour, hours of labor or anything else, for that matter, when there is a scarcity of the commodity, is to our mind the limit of foolish ness. There can be no particu- lar good derived from a res tricted price of coal, or restrict ed hours of labor when there isn't enough to go round. If we had coal in abundance and a crowded supply of labor, the restriction of the price of coal or the shortening of the hours of labor would help, but when the reverse exists we fail to see who is the gainer. As a matter of fact we are all losers. If there is shortage of coal, by holding the price down, we prevent an increase in the sup ply. If we are short of labor we simply made a bad situation worse.
 We believe in an eight hour law, but that law must be such that 1t can be stretched to fit all cases. In this case the law fits no place. Evidently, the engineer of that law must have had a grudge against himself, or against us. Anyhow if that law is found to be constitution al and is enforced, we shall soon. be going somewhere.- Ketchikan Miner.

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

The people of Alaska voted by an overwhelming majority for an eight hour law and the territorial legislature proceed ed to give them just what they had said by their vote that they wanted. Now from nearly every corner of the territory are com ing complaints to the effect that the new law is impractical, that, in view of present condi- tions superinduced by the war, there is bound to be a short age of labor and that to con duct the business of the cOun- try with the reduced amount of labor, eight hours per day will not suffice. Personally, about the only fault we have to find with the law Is that it precludes a man from working more than eight hours a day no matter how ANXIOUS he may be to get in extra time and no matter how badly he requires what the extra time would bring him. In other words, we do not think there should be a law do not think a law con- stitutional- that tells any man he shall work so long and no longer regardless of his per sonal inclinations and of his needs for what the overtime would bring him. But the law, as it stands, is certainly an eight-hour law, all right, all right.-DOuglas News.

CORDOVA LEADS.

As was to be expected Alas kans showed their patriotism in the recent Red Cross drive for memberships, as oNpr eighty per cent of the residents of this territory responded to the call, and the result of the campaign has awakened peo pie i'll the states to a realization that there are more red-blood- ed Americans in Alaska, in pro portion to it's poole, than any other place in the United States. Of course we of the North always knew this to be : the case and for that reason have felt that we were entitled to the same consideration as other humans under the juris- diction of Uncle Sam, when it came to matter of legislation. That this great empire has not always been treated fairly or even considerably did not deter the pioneers and prospectOrs from responding nObly to the call of the Red Cross, and as it did in the purchase of Libterv bonds. It is also doing its full duty in offerig its courageous and sturdy young men for vol untary enlistment, while those who remain at home are follow inc the sU@"eStiOns of the food administration and also pur- chasino war and thrift stamps.
 Naturally Cordova feels a pride in the record 1t has made, as 1t heads the list in the per centage of members to popula- tiOn gained for the Red Cross during the recent campaign. This may be accounted for from the fact that there is no more prosperous town in Alas ka and the value of copper ore alone ShinDed from this port. exceeds that of all minerals mined in the territory. We are also sunnIving a large quantity of foodotuff to the government and this season there will be five salmon canneries and five clam nlanto in operation here, with much larger forces of mon and women employed than ever before in the fishing industry.
 Anchorage, the reputed larg- est town in Alaska and main tained entirely by the govern ment. shows percentage mem- hershin to population in the Red Cross of 65.86; Juneau, 97,13; Nome, 66.66; Fairbanks, 112.44; Kptchikan. 1916; Se- ward. 5210; Valdez, 49.20; Cordova. 150.00. Some of the smaller towns made excellent showinos notably: Mccarthy. 10000; Wrangell, 136.O0 and Chitina, 103.00.

opponents of cowboy sports, trick and
long distance jumpers, fancy divers.
high and shallow water divers, trick

A formal announcement from the
democratic national committee head
quarters In this city says:
Democratic organisations through
out the country generally will observe
the policy of the democratic national
committee and refrain from public
political meetings during the liberty

This action was advised on August

addressed to the chair
men of state committees and members
Of the national committee. in which
the view was expressed that political
meetings during the period Of the lib
erty loan campaign would be mani
testify unpatriotic and improper.
1.-The suggestion was made that
state committees and district commit
tees refrain from arrangements for
meetings Of this character during the
loan campaign. The. national head
quarters has been advised that this
suggestion met with the approval of
officers Of democratic Organisations
and that plans had been made In ac-
cordance with this suggestion.
I'm many states the two political
organizations have united and pro-
pose active work in the liberty loan
movement, suspending all forms of
