PRES, RYAN RELEASED

LEAVENWORTH, April 7.-Frank Ryan, still President of the Interna- tional Iron Workers, will be freed from the Federal penitentiary here through the clemency of President Wilson, this week.
 The President some time ago cOm- mutted the se:.tence of Ryan and a number of other Federal prisoners, making Ryans time expire this week.

Various cases have occurred in the experience of the committee where men that worked eight hours for the railroad would work additional hours for outside parties. Apparently this Is in conflict with the Humanitarian object of the law It is our Opin- ion that most of thelaboring people of Alaska with the exception of those doing underground work in mines would prefer to work over eight hours during the longer days if by so doing they got additional compensation. The application of the law especially at this time when supplies of copper and other ore are necessary for carrying on the act ivities of the war would in our opinion be very disasterous and would result in much damage to the territory. We recommend that the law be suspended"

It is now difficult to get sufficient labor to carry on the various industries It should be born in mind that the practical working season is only six or seven months and work during that period should be speeded up rather than slowed down, aside from the general deGirability of the law it would seem to be in many eases impractical to put it into operation.

BALTIMORE, Apr. 7,-President Wilson, in his speech here today, launching the third Liberty Loan Drive, discussed at great length the peace aims of the United States and the Allies.
 Ee said that Germany would find that America could and would meet force with force. that the day of conquest and aggrandizment, is a thing of the past, so is also the secret covenants entered into in the interest of some domineering gov ernment, which holds the wishes and rights of its own people, as we'll as the rights, of the people of the government coerced into sign ing such covenants, at naught.
 These secret treaties have proven a constant menace to the peace of the world as conclusively proven by the present world conflict.

 minent danger; it may be necessary to load a vessel of ore or food sup plies and very likely not be accomp- lished in eight hours. In case shortage of labor supply it might be extremely difficult to put on addi- tional crew of stevedores. Many instances might he cited the dlfil- culil Of enforcing lcu law unaer conditinos as they exist in Alaska. Attention is called to the fact that no provision is made in the law for the payment of overtime, and it pro- vides that the period of employ ment for all wage earners and salary earners in the territory of Alaska shall not exceed eight hours in any one calendar day except in cases where life or property is in nn- minent danger. We venture the opinion that many of the people of Alaska when voting for such a law,

 Every selfish dominion must be cast down into the dust so that the world may be safe place to live in for every peace loving nation, like our own, which, wishes to live it's own life, determine it's own institu- tions and to be assured of justice and fair dealing by other nations of the world as against force and aggressive selfishness.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is so com.
mon to the American people, and the large
majority Of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
seen realized. Ii stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it trial. It is ON sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

LlndIey Murray.

Lindley Murray was noted Anglo
American grammnrian. who lived from
1745 to 1926. He was born at Swa-
tara, Pa. In 1854. at the age of thirty.
nine years, he settled In England. and
1t was there that he compiled and pub
lished his English grammar and Eng
fish spelling book that gave him con-
siderable prominence in his own time
and for which he Is remembered today.
For many years these were the text
books used in the majority of English
schools. His English Rome was at
Holdgate, about mile from the city
of York, and 1t was there that he did
his literary work. His grammar has
been severely criticized for its obscur-
ity, blunders and deficient presentation
of etymology, but 1t made his name a
household word in every country where
the English language is spoken. His
later years were devoted to tho study
of botany.

Keep Promises Made Children.

If failure to keep promises is evil In
the business and social world at large.
1t is calamItous In the home. One can
not be too careful about making prom
ises to children. None should be light
ly made, and when made. they should
be scrupulously kept, even In seeming
ly unimportant things. If one would
have children truthful, one must one
self first he true. They should early
learn the value of trutnfulness In
promises. One has no right to promise
thing to rid oneself Of importantly.
When one is not ready to promise, one
should say so and stick to 1t. No
matter is unimportant that has bear
Ing on truthfulness. 1t does not take
long for a child to learn when a parent
breaks promises foolishly or lightly.
Then such a child ceases to respect a
parents word In anything. Slow to
make promise, but swift to keep one,
should be an ideal for all.-Milwaukee

MUCH GOOD FOOD IN FOREST
Pioneer Knew the Value and Number

Found There.

II is stated that Daniel Boone and
other pioneers could go into the Will
derness with only a rifle and a sack

game and other wild food which the
woods afforded. While few people
want to try that sort Of thing now
adays, persons who know the food
value of fruits of our native trees and
shrubs are, according TO foresters, able
to use them to good advantage In sup
plementing their foods.
Aside from the numerous edible
mushrooms, roots, fruits Of shrubs, and
smaller plants, the trees of our forests
afford large variety Of edibles which
are highly priced by woods connois-
seurs. First in Importance, Of course,
are our nuts-oeechnuts, butternuts,
walnuts, chestnuts and chinquap.ns,
hazel nuts, and several kinds of hick-
DRY nuts, including pecans. The ker-
nels of all of these are not only tooth
some, but highly nutritious, and are
used by vegetarians to replace meat.
The oil of the beechnut is said to be
little inferior to olive oil, while that
of butternuts and walnuts was used
by some of the Indians for various
purposes. The Indians, 1t Is said, also
