THE WRONG WA ABOUT

According to ! report, Charles E. Heron, the mining - Jmoter, newspaper publisher and incdentals as 'black-legged' republican as ever walked the frozen North, was in Pittsburgh, Pa. recently and footed his horn that he was on his way to Washington to help Governor Strong to secure second term. It is so foolish of Charley that his action deserves little attention.
 AIr. Heron is alright as Republican poli- tician, to be sure, but rot as a booster for the Governor. Provided always that he wants to retain the Governor in office. From experience we can tell MT. Heron that for Republicans to throw bouquets at the Governor has the same effect on the Democrats that hot water has on rat Both have fits.
 However, it maybe that Mr. Heron is on to them and will recommend the appointment of a true blue Republican to the office If he can convince the President that there are no Demo- crats in Alaska for the office Governor Strong having been tried and found good average; will stand good chance of securing another term But should he boost the governor, he is sure to put the kibosh on his re-appointment. There is such thing as footing ones horn at the wrong time.

 The last two or three weeks we have been shown by the senate Investigating committee how inefficient our men power has had proven to be- How profteering. politics, red tape and what not have interferred with furnishing arms; am- muntion food clothing and other supplies to the more than two million men now in the various branches of our army and navy. This was the war work assigned to the men; and their shortcomings have been exposed to a most patient people in the world Meanwhile the work as signed to our mothers wives, sisters and daugh- ters has goen along ceaselessly without hitch and to complete success. From making socks sweaters and other things to planting gardens and last but not least, to food conservation and the writing of cheerful letters 10 the boys lover there All this has been going on day and night without the least publicity, notoriety or complaint The only department in the mach inery of our national government that has met the crisis. Yet there are some men who are still inclined to hold back our women's right to vote.

AN INCIDENT RECALLED.

If we mistake not, the only member of the house of representatives to vote against the prop osition for the assessment of a tax or the sal aries of congressman, was one AIr. Platt of New York. Nearly year before we declared war with Germany. one of the New York big news papers canyassed the house to find out whether it favored going to war at that time with Ger many, and the gentleman was one of three who answered in the affirmative. His patriotism to wage war in defense of our country included his willingness to tax the people; with himself the exception. But that is natural. Even in food conservation; the very men who preach it. sell dom follow their preaching themselves. Men will encourage others to go to the front; but will not go themselves They will encourage others to buy Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps, and help the Red Cross, etc., but refrain from doing as much themselves. Even the eight-hour law was intended to make the ''other fellows" come to time, but when we found out that the law struck everybody alike those of us who were the mo enthusiastic over the proposed law, squeal ike stuck pigs. The only time that We are satis- fled is when George does it.'
The daily progressive-miner., 1918-01-16

The people Of Alaska voted by an overwhelming iority for eighhour law and the Territorial legislature proceeded give them just what they had said by their vote that they wanted Now from nearly every ot the Territory coming complaints to the effect that the law is impractical that in of present con- dtons superinduced by the there is bound be shortage of labor and that conduct the business of the country with the reduced amount of labor eight hours day will not suffice Personally about the only fault have find with the law is that it pre- c'udes from working than eight hours day matter how anxious he may be get in time and matter how badly he requires what the time would bring him In other words do think there should be a aw-do think law consttutional--that tells any man he shall work so long and longer re- garde his personal inclinatons and of his needs what the overtime would bring him.
