To Furnish Speakers

The following self-explanatorv
letter was sent out to the various
precinct captains of the Latah De-
fense Council by Chairmaa L. F.
Parsons.
The National and State Councils
of Defense are calling upon the
County Councils to organize in
their respective counties a speaking
bureau.
1t is found in rural precincts es-
pecially, that "a large percentage of
the people are not fully advised in
reference to the war, and to con-
siderable extent they have not
realized the serious condition that
faces our country. That the war
may be brought home to all the
people, it has been found desirable
to have a group of speakers in each
county who can be sent to the re-
mote parts of the territory.
Our County Council is now taking
this matter up and is enlisting a
large number of speakers for this
work. If you have speakers in
your community that can be used.
please give us their names. You
are requested to advise the Council
of any and all meetings, such as
picnics. dances, socials or meetings
in your territory of any character
where a considerable number of
people will be gathered together
giving the date and place of such
meetings. The County Council will
then endeavor to have speaker at
each gathering.
The Council would also like tc
have you arrange for meetings

tion on the part of the people or
any specific" point. The Council
will cooperate with you and sene
you speakers to talk on any poin
that you may deem desirable tt
have brought before the people.
We would also suggest that yol
arrange with the pastors of thu
churches in your community to de
vote a part of their Sunday service
to patriotic purposes, or if need b
arrange special services, and if the.
desire speakers for this purpose, w
will be glad to provide them. 7
you deem desirable you may ap
point some one to the charge o
this work in your community.

Thresh With Gas Tractors

The old straw-burning steam
traction engines are fast becoming
a thing of the past in this section
and they are being replaced by gas
oline tractors. Last season a num-
ber of gasoline tractors were used
with such success that several more
new machines have been purchased
by threshermen and will furnish
the power to run their separators
this season. They require fewer
men to run them than the old style
steam machines.

From Arnold Petrick

T Dear Folks: / think it. is about
'itime for me to write to you all. !
got your letter about ten days ago
while l was in Camp Lewis. left
there week ago today going by
way of Portland, Pendleton, Poca-
tello, Omaha, Chicago and from
there over the Erie R. R.
] saw my first aeroplane about SO
miles out Of Jersey City at 4th of
July celebration.
We got fine treatment in some
states and others ignored us. Iowa
was fine only we passed most of it
in the night. At Pocatello and
Montpelier, Idaho the Red Cross
came out and gave us cigarettes
and gum. Wyoming didn't even
smile at us. They have had too
many regular soldiers around there.
At Clinton, Iowa they gave us sand
witches and coffee. Fremont, Neb.
treated us fine. The Red Gross was
at Chicago with cigarettes and
candy but the officers wouldn't stop
enough to let them distribute it SO
we got tipped out Of it.
At nearly every station along the
line | got some cigarettes or cigars.
| would ask some guy for cigar
.ette and he would give me whole
package.
We got on a ferry boat at Jersey
City and went around the end of
Manhattan Island where all of New
York's big buildings are. Gosh!
They are tall. The Woolworth tops
them all though. Then we went
under the three big suspension
bridges. Brooklyn is first, it is a
single decker but the prettiest of
the three. Its towers are rock
masonry. The second one is the
shortest and has concrete towers. l
didn't know it existed. It's a
double decker. The third is the
Williamsburg and it is the longest,
a double decker and has steel
towers.
Camp Mills is on Long Island,
about twenty-five miles from New
York City. There is big airplane
plant here-the Curtiss Company
About 40 planes are drilling above
us every dav--some sight and noisy,
you can hardly hear yourself think
They certainly don't have muff1ers
on their engines.
| don't know when | will leave
here but think it will be less thar
two weeks. My address in the
future is Farrier Arnold A. Petrick
Vety Field Units, 346 Field Artill
cry, A. E. F. and be sure not tt
forget the Farrier part of it and tt
put in my middle initial.
l suppose Opal has told you al
about our Peggy. One of th'
other doctors in Aberdeen told ;
nurse in the hospital that it is th'
best developed child he ever say
and he had seen lots of them.
I'll write again soon. Love

Needed, a Censor.
(Nenana News.

(Nenana News.)
 The Skagway Alaskan has hit the nail squarely on the head. In the opinion of that pioneer newspaper what Alaska needs more than anything else at this time is censor, most rigid who will pre- vent Alaskans themselves from spreading gossip of character injurious to the Territory. The people of Alaska the Alaskan should get together, and not take every opportunity to knock the other fellow.
 The Alaskan is right There is too much knocking going in the Territory. Too many people, many towns and too many Alaskan newspapers de- vote too much of their time and in effort to the interests of section at the expense of some other section We appear have cultivated the habit of hanging knock onto the tail of every boost Yes,' we inform the stranger "this is fine town with world of natural advantages and pyaro that would wad modern seize gun. Of course it is a little quiet now account of the war, but you should see that burg the bay, up the or down the sound Why the people are leaving that place so fast there's constant breeze blowing in their wake"
 The truth of the situation is that conditions are the spreading of bad reports has tendency make things worse. It lessens confidence in country and makes the Territory appear in a par tcularly unfavorable light beyond its borders.
 Aaskans should cnosder well before they give voice to opinions regarding this, that or the other place. They can help the country by taking a cheerful view of things than by knocking An incl dentally the optimist is lot popular in com munity than the fellow who always greets you with tough times story
 The time is not far distant when every section of Alaska will be more prosperous than ever before After the war there will be of capital seeking investment and there will be thousands and thousands of men in search of new and greener fields. Alaska will get them both and the develop ment of the Northand will proceed rate undream ed of by oldtimers.
 Ii the meantime there is nothing to be gained by giving publicity to the fact that certain sections of the Territory have been given setback by the war We should congratulate ourselves that we have among cur varied resources, sufficient wealth to keep the Territory prominently before the world at time like the present Our fisheries and copper mines are responsible for lot of very desirable advertising, and within very short time Alaska coal mines will take their place among the worlds fuel producers
 With such natural resources, Alaska must go forward and it is only matter of time until every section of the Territory will feel the throb nten- sive development. In the end will find that we of the North have been helped by the than hurt by it, though for the time being high prices and the heavy withdrawal of manpower from the Terri tory have combined to interrupt activities in tain localities.

Today is Liberty Day. It also is the 42Oth annlver- sary of the discovery of America by Columbus The people the greatest Nation of the World that was discovered through the originality and vision and science and courage of the great Italian navigator four hundred and twenty years today, are de- voting this occasion of to free the peoples Of the Eastern World from the despotsm and barbarity of militarism and caste, and to make democratic n- stitutons and liberty safe in the land Of Colunbus discovery. As great the vision and imagination of Columbus, he probably dreamed that he had found the land in which democracy was to be nour- ished to such proportions that it would day step into the breach and make all peoples free-in- cludng those of his own Genoa and his own Italy. Yet fate has clearly pointed to the inevitable destiny since the first settlements of Columbia. Those who came seeking liberty-freedom from absolutism. The revolutions which cut the governmental ties that bound them to the monarchies of Europe the natural fruits of the seeds planted by these seekers of freedom.
 The example the Western World long ago d. velopd into infuenc that reachd back across the the Old World. For than century those with vision have the time coming when the masses of Europe, inspired by American democ- racy, would demand the heritage that was theirs of right. Constitutional governments have followed by consent of the monarchs in many European nations until they practically democracies France went all the way, discarded the theory and abolished the fiction of monarchy
 But Central Europe and the East remained stead fasty of the old order They only powerful by the developments of science and terprse. The Divine right of Kings the iron heel of mtarsm, the chains of caste remained the fixed law. The world development only made them more dangerous Germany became the goth century eli max of absolulism
 That there should be final titanic struggle be- tween the old and the and that American de- mocracy should take her place in the battle with European democracy was inevitable
 Today the spirit of Columbus the traditions of America, loyalty to country and humanity, itself demand that do all that is neeessary to be done to wage the battle to successful conclusion that henceforth militarism aud monarchy shall bansh- ed from the earth, that shall prevail every where.
 Gov. Riggs put the clearly in his Liberty Day proclamation when he said:
 Never before has there been greater need
 for the American Citizen to show his patriotism
 Concident with the floating of the Fourth Lib
 German made peace. Our answer will be found
 fn the efforts of soldiers and sailors in for
 eign parts and in the Liberty Loan drive by our
 civilian population It is the duty of every
 man and every woman, citizen alien, even
 through entailed sacrifice, to purchase bond
 Our in uniform offer their lives can we
 do less than to offer money in the cause
 of humanity?
 "| ' Every effort must be made to
 assist our Government. Let our slogan be At
 Least Twice Over the Top.

MRS. HATCHER's CRITICISM.

Mrs Hatcher at reception at a private residence denounced The Empire for not printing her foolish letter written in the of the w. c. T. U in the interest of the political foruntes of Judge Wicker sham.
 The text of Mrs Hachers letter. ridiculous and misrepresenatve though it was was not what The Empire criticised nor what concerned it. The Empire criticized Mrs Hatcher for trying to drag the w. C. T. U into the political campagn-and cause it to take position alongside of herself part Of the Wickersham machine in Alaska It criticized her for attempting misrepresent, while endeavoring to misuse, the great organization founded by Frances Willard for better things.

ersham regarding the necessity of performing assessment work on mining claims, and that the uncer. tainty was causing more or less an noyance to business and likely to interfere with the distribution of labor, Delegate Charles A. Sulzer wired the Interior Department, set ting forth the facts, and received the following reply:
 Washington, D. C., Oct II, 1918. Hon. Charles A. Sulzer,
 Delegate from Alaska,
 Anchorage, Alaska
 "On December 6, 1917, after care full consideration of the laws and decisions, I advised you that the Joint Resolution of October 5, 1917, relieved owners of all unpatented mining claims in Alaska, except oil claims, from performance of annual assessment work during 1918 and 1918. The views thus expressed have been reiterated by the Depart ment, and you may advise all par ties interested that insofar as this Department is concerned, the opinion of December 6, 1917, will be ad- hered to. (Signed)
 ALEXANDER T. VOGELSANG,
 First Assistant Secretary"
 Delegate Sulzer expresses the hope that wide publicity may be given this statement inorder that labor and supplies may not be used in unnecessary work and thus cripple local industries.

The people of Alaska know that Judge Wickersham has consistently opposed the demand of the people for more power. They know that he has not oniy tried Alaskan problems but that he has ridi culed the effort to bring them here where the peo pie could settle them. Instad of that he has at tmpted to multiply confuse unsolved Alaska uqes- tions by creating a chaotic condition of personal quarrels factonaI contention and sectional strife.
