Early indications were that the new

and possibly more Of the votes in
the mayoralty election here today.
The total registration of the WON,

Estimated 1900
That the total vote in the city to-
day would run something like 1900
was the estimate of Bob Murray,
secretary Of the Grady county cleo
tion board. The registration in 1916
showed "a total Of about 2250 in the
city with a normal vote of around
l,50o to l,7OO. With the $50 women
added, the total registration jumps
to approximately 1900. Mr.. Murray
estimated that owing to the incle-
ment weather, the ratio as of old
would be maintained.
County Registrar Clayton was Of
the opinion that the women would
poll half Of the total vote today de-
spite the fact that the men regis
tered far outnumber the women
Women Vote early

There was no particular wark be-

What the News would like to

What the News would like to know and what MT. Roth doubtless will be asked to explain, is, why was the case not properly investi- gated before an arrest was made? Why was it necessary to put MT. Curtis to the expense. of returning to Nenana to explain things whic', almost any Nenanaite could have explained out of court, and which the defendant himself could have disposed of quickly and positively had he been given the opportunity to do so before he started for the Outside? His departure was not a secret. Practically everyone in town knew that he was going, and it was not fair to him or to the government to pile up lot of ex- pense for the purpose of disproving charges which never should have been filed.
 We hope that the federal authori- ties will be more careful in the fu- ture. If there has been grating on the part of any employees, past or present, of the Alaskan Engineer ing commission, the offenders should be punished. But we trust that our representatives of the department of justice will first convince them selves in future that the govern ment has been imposed upon before resorting to drastic action.

NOTICE TO BIDDERS

In regard to clearing of right of way just recently advertised, also for grading, the Commission will transport, free of charge, the camp equipment and supplies to the con- tractors composites but the amount equipment and supplies will be limited and must be within reason able amounts.
 Since this is contradictory to pre- vious instructions to prospective biders, they must put in new bid for the clearing of right of way, if they wish to do so, and the first bid will be disregarded at the time of awarding the contracts.

JUSTICE

The complete exoneration of Howard Curtis, on the charge of embezzlement, before United States Commissioner Mcdonald last night, lays the office of the United States attorney open to severe and merited criticism. The evidence introduced showed very conclusvely that the government had no case against the former storekeeper, and it is sur prising that man of the intelli- gence of MT. Roth should have viewed the evidence in any other light before the trial.
 The inference to be gathered from such proceeding is that there was an ulterior motive behind the case. We do not know that such was the case and we hestitate to believe that the United States at torney would permit the use of hi, office for such a purpose. But the case certainly had much the appear ance of deliberate persecution, and 1t will be hard to convince the public that the arrest of MT. Curtis was not a deliberate attempt to destroy his reputation, to satisfy political or some other spite. The fact that previous attempt was made to steam roller the storekeeper encour- ages such a belief.

WAR BREAD COSTLY To
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays S2O0OOO,OOO toward the cost OF
thar nations war bread That Is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today 10 the consumer
than IN America. incidentally the
british bread Is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain. bought AZ an arbl-
trnry price, and oil imported wheat
bought In markets Of the world at pre-
yailine prices. This is turned over 10
the mills by the government at price
that allows the aduiterated war bread
loaf of four pounds 10 sell nj IS cents.
The two pound loaf costs o cents. and
the one pound loaf sells for cents
In milling. however, IL per cent.
more -four Is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there Is com
puisory adultcratlon Of 20 per cent.
and nm allowable adulterutlon OF 30
per cent.
Compared with American bread. the
British product Is only about G3 per
cent pure al It's best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar but with larger extrac-
tIon, the four pound loaf sells for 10
cents.
