to believe that the blaze was Of
incendiary origin.

Radio advices from Unalakleet via St. Michael reaching the city Monday state that the settlement is under strict qu&ntine and no signs of the prevalent epidemic have so far ap- peared. No teams are allowed to leave or arrive and the mail carriers are also isolated on their arrival ow-
 ing to the fear that they may be un- conscious germ carriers. The mes ge containing this information wGs forwarded by Thos. A. Powers. WEo also enters a vigorous and in the light of recent developments, fully warranted protest against any act ion on the part of the citizens of Nome which may tend to spread the epidemic and endanger the lives of the citizens of Unalakleet. Mir. Powers declares the conviction that an injunction should be issued if necessary to prevent anyone travel ing about in a manner to endanger the lives of those who have so far been spared by the plague. The lat ter portion of the message appears to contain a hint which might be found serviceable by the authorities in the case of persons who are so ca rless or deliberately reprchensible las to make unnecessary journeys to uncontamina ted communities.

Mr.. Smith, the Tamnanyite, will head

for years been an influence in politics.

skill It 10 rich, and q liberal spender

Raiding Slackers.

A raid on draft slackers in New
York yesterday netted upward Of 49,
900 arrests, although large percent
age of those taken were undoubtedly
innocent of evasion Of the selective
service law. Most of these had merely
mislaid their registration cards. But
many others were unquestionable
slackers and were quickly sent to camp.
Further raids are expected, with per-
haps greater care to discriminate be-
tween the obviously innocent and those
who are properly subject to suspicion.
It has been said that New York is a
"slackers' haven" that thousands Of
mon who have been seeking to evade
military duty have gone there for
refuge, thinking to hide in the big
town. The raids prove their mistake.
The government is determined that no
man who is eligible to serve in the
field escapes alignment. It is the duty
Of every citizen who has reason to
think that man is evading the draft
to report the fact. To the extent that
men properly subject to service escape
it others are rendered liable. The
Stacker merely shifts the burden to
other shoulders.
Draft evasion is a form Of disloyalty,
without justification or excuse. Hard
ships may be inflicted by the applica-
ton Of the law in some cases, but these
are rare and the draft boards have
shown a disposition to be lenient in
cases Of family responsibility. The
Stacker is a deserter. When caught he
deserves no consideration. The per-
centage Of men who have sought to
evade duty is very small, and their
offense is the more fragrant in conse-
quence.

The Republicans and the Tour

The Republicans and the Tour.
How will the republicans meet the
Presidents stumping tourf It is bound
to have an effect on the congressional
campaign. Mr.. Wilson is no less the
leader of his party because President;
and his leadership is gladly and COM
pletely confessed. His party leans
upon him. It consults him about
everything. He shapes more legisla-
ton than the most influential demo-
Gratis in Congress. He was never
stronger as leader than today.
As everybody knows, the President
desires another democratic Congress.
He has been recommending candidates
for the Hsuse and for the Senate. He
knows his friends, and wants them in
Office near him. He is doing nothing
in q corner, but q. very great deal in
the open. If necessary, he will do more
as the campaign grows.
As leader of the democratic party,
therefore, as we'll as President, Mr..
Wilson will visit many states and ad-
dress great crowds of people at time
when the campaign is humming. Poll
tics will be in session everywhere he
goes. Politicians will be busy as bees.
Those of his own party will hail his
appearance with delight. If they have
been unable to put "pep" into the sit
uation, he will not fail. If they have
had success, he will increase it.
The tour may be open to the charge
made that the democratic managers
are nervous that thsir preliminary re-
ports are disquieting; that they feel.
