THAT FISHERY BILL.

4 tf.e outset we admit having read Dele gate Sulzers bill intended to regulate the snlng industry of Alaska onl, in a casual manner We admit that We have not studied aay par e 1t for ne purpose of discussing it's merits to remedy or improve the present regulations. Consequently our conclusion as 10 the measures virtue or non virtues after the admission above. cannea reflect upon is merit nor detract any credit fran th- father of the bill who has requested criticism presumably that errors may be avoided.
 In our opinion, the bill iS utterly useless. For. f passed without amendments. it's oniy mean waste of time. This is made clear iG sec ton seventeen which says;
 SC. T. That rom and as1er -aa passage o1 -hls Ac- .A= Territorial Legislature e Alaska sAa have -az pgWa- 70 repeal alter, a.a=.d ais se. and hava -.- power -a impose aas license lees or axes upo1 .- business ze-eae.9re r==e-re3 70, and upon -1e ca-rl- -tas-3:. and 1pon aag property. -aal personal. lz F ssd rss:a7-s ia said Terrisors and

 To make that bill law. including -ection seventeen is q waste of time because our next legislature is sure to tear it to pieces in hurry and every man who can tell a fish from moose 1'in have q say. The oil may be ever % good, congress win never act on it with that seetion, unless congress s wiling to give Us full terri toriaI form of government. Is congress ready to do as much f not, cut that section out and then He can proceed and discuss the n,erit of he bill.

THE WAY IT LOOKS.

From the Juneau papers, it looks as though there was much opposition to the possible sus pension of the eight-hour law for the duration of the war. The opposition claims that the con- tention of shortage of labor by those who favor the suspension of the law, is erroneous, and mis- leading. That there are plenty of labor all over the territory to do the work, etc, But is not this contrary to the opinion of officials of the federal Bureau Of Commerce and Labor? This depart meHC of oar government announced few days ago that large number of Porto Ricans would a~ brought to this country to supply the shortage of labor. If there is shortage C.. labor in one section of the country, it affects the eltre coun- try, and Alaska included; the opinion of handful q members of Igloo Number Is. to the contrary notwithstanding

QUITE APPLICABLE.

The old saying "A stitch in time saves nine" may be changed to "A kick in time saves money" and be applied in our case with satisfaction
 II will be remembered that during the latter part of September and the first part of October last, the government cable was out of conlmis- sion, when our press news costs us through the wireless, three cents word which we paid but kicked like steer" 4 complaint was made to Colonel Lenoir, officer in charge of the govern ment cable at Seattle, who readily saw the iniua- lice and immediately took tn matter up with th1 Navy Department. under whose jurisdiction the Eystem is operated since the outbreak of the war.
The daily progressive-miner., 1918-02-11

Later, communications in the matter were pub- Eshed. showing that through Colonel Lenor, the department vsould rectify the error. In yester- days r.al a treasury check for S51.79 was re- ceis ed A refund of the money paid of two- thirds of the original costs. Thanks to Colonel Lenoir and the Navy Department. But it is only fair to state that the wireless officials here had no authority in the matter, therefore, cannot be blamed for the overcharge. However, this check is just like ''getti;.g money from home

WILL CALL COnORED MEN.
~ seventy Thousand to Be Inducted Into
 Service Soon.

Washington, March 5.-Seventy thousand colored troops will be called within a short time. This will finish the first draft call for all States. The colored, men, principally from South ern States. were not called earlier be- cause the camps have not been sell ected. The war department has de- layed bringing the colored troops from the warm Southern climate until the weather moderates in the North
 The last group of white soldiers, amounting to 10000 was called today. The only while soldiers to be called into service by the first draft will be to fill vacancies. They will be chosen by the local boards from the list of eligibles.
 A training camp for colored officers was established in Iowa last summer It is pretty well settled that all the camps for enlisted men will be in the Northern States. The movement of these troops will begin shortly and continue until the quotas of all States are filled.

RECOMMENDS WALL
 AND FIRING SQUAD
MarCoSson Would Execute Ger
 man Spies Found in America

1 New York. March 5.-The best way 1 to check German spies and propa- ! gpanda in this country is to stand a l few of them up against a wall and 1 shoot them, Isaac k. Marcosson told | mem berS of the American Manufac- ! t11rers Association at a luncheon in the Hotel Biltmore yesterday Judg- 1 ing by the applause which greeted his 1 suggestion, his hearers were heartily in accord with him.
 Don't fool yourself with the idea that this war is nearly over' MT. MarcossOn said. 'Many people who know much more than I do believe that it is just beginning. And every time I come back to this country from England, France, Italy, Russia or Spain, all of whom have to handle this Samo spy problem. l am inn pressed by the ignorance, l won't say stupidity, which permits these Ger mans to work here. Today we are surrounded by this silent, lnsidlouS, viper propaganda. If we would shoot a few German spies and then turn the light of publicity on what we had done, we would do more to stop them than anything we have attempted"
 MT. Marcosson. who spoke of him. self as an Atlantic commuter, so many times has he been back and forth since the war started, told the business men of the terrific commercial strug- gle which is coming after the war, and how by devoting all our business energies to winning the war tl1is coun- try will be better fitted to take its place in the battle of trade which will follow.
 "I have been on every battle front and seen millions of men engaged in this war;" he said, ''but the biggest thing about this war is that the battle line of business is goging to settle this war and determine the wars of the future. We must keep up our armies, the sacrifice must go on, but the thing that is going to end it is the economic war. Germany will con- tinue as long as she can get material. The great tragedy is that the work of the obscene human garbage mas querading as Bolshevil1i will prolong 1t tWi years longer.
 'Kerensky and the men with him so short a time and with the loss of so few lives, started to build up com mercial structure. Germany knew that and went in to stop it. On the morning I went over the frontier into Russia last April, and was told that my country had entered the war, the Germans in large numbers were going in. l saw them, there was no attempt made to check them, and they were the men who brought about the pres ent condition.
 T have had the distinction of being followed by some of the most con spicuous and stupid German spies, but what I want to bring to you is that every German spy is a commercial agent"
 MT. Marcosson told of the way in which Germany got control of Italian business in at at time when Italy was trying to make a commercial alllance with a powerful European power, and of the growth of German organlZa- ton in Italy until 900 of SIS Italian stock companies were owned by Ger mans and the largest bank in the country was a German bank.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that arc extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon for gotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer This applies more
 pa particularly to a medicine. A mediri-
 nal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an
 endless chain system the remedy is
 recommended by those who hAvo
 been benefited, to those who Hrc in
 need of it.
 A prominent druggist says "rake
 for example Dr. kilmeTS Swamp
 Root, a preparation l have sold for
 many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case
 it shows excellent results, as many
 of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale.'
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of tn housands who have used the preparation, the suc- cess of pr. Kilmer's SWamp-Root is due to the fact that, so many people claim, it fu1fils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and ncutralizes the uric acid which canses rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of swamp Root by Parcels Post Ad- dress pr. Kilmer &s O., Binghamton, " Y. and enclose ten cents; also mention the New Britain Daily Her aid. Large and medium size bottles i for sale at all drug stores.

  from which he can obtain between five and six million cubic wards of wood.
 '"The negotiations have been eX- cCSSvely la boriOus and have been partIy conducted in neutral countries. A whole swarm of agents have Dccn at work on this sale.

A successful result was only obtained, thanks to the cf- forts of a number of highly placed DersOnages Experts value the for ests thus purchased at front sixty to eighty million crowns.
 "Similar negotiations have been carried out by the F. A. Bank of Vienna with the firm of Groedcl and the Wiener Bank Verein, Of Con- stantinople, for the purchase of for csts in Asia Minor.''
