Delegate Charles A. Sulzcr and his friends consider that the most impor- tant work undertaken by the delegate is his home rule bill. whereby he hopes to have extended to Alaska the same rights and privelcges of home rule that wcr" given to all the other terri tories of the United States. By this bill, which is now pending before con full powers to legislatc for them selves.
 By the opposition some attempts have been made to read into the bill provisions which 1t does not contain, and d false propaganda was started in which MT Wickershams supporters tried to make the people of Alaska believe that the delegate was trying to saddle upon the country home rule bill that would ruin it.
 IL is d matter of interest to note that Mr. Wickersham's home rule bill, DhSStu "IbH lt Was utitBdtt iO NOii4 gross. gives the territory practically no powers His friends argued at first that that bill was but tn" begin ming that he had done well to secure its passage. and that it would be fol- lowed by another more liberal bIll. That these followers were either badly fooled themselves or trying to deceive the public is shown by q statement made by WiCkersham himself when he appeared before the elections com mittee of the house of representatives In that statement Mir. WiCkersham said that his home rule bill wao Crawn as it was in order that the people Of Alaska might not destroy them selves He showed thereby that he did not consider the people of Alaska capable of handling their own affairs.
 Mr Sul2er, on the other hand. in troduced a bill whereby the people off the territory will be given complete control of their own affairs And he thereby showed ConClusiVely that he does consider the people of Alaska entirely capable of handling their own affairs. In fact. he stated emphatic ally in congress that no people on earth are more capable of legislating for themselves.
 Mir Wickersham asserts most stren- uously that the legislature of Alaska did not have the right to pass an hon est election law, and he did not wish the legislators of the territory to have that power
 The following is taken from the official report of the hearings before the committee on elections No. l, house of representatives. SiXty-ffth congress, Second session. in the con tested election of James Wickersham

vs. Charles A. Sulzer. and is found O page thereof:
 "Mr. Wickersham: Now We thought that covered very largely the situation with respect to the election laws in the territory, but here we were creating an elective territorial legislature in Alaska. and it was thought that 1t would not do to give that territorial legis- lature authority to destroy itself. and to save that situa- tion and put it beyond any possi- bility of question prepared sec tion in the act of 1912"
 "Mr. Lloyd: What page and section is that?"
 "Mr. Wickersham It is See tion ,. on page 5lS. 37 Statutes at Large. Now. that is the organic law of Alaska: that is the constitution of Alaska: that is in the act which created the legis- lature of Alaska. This act ere ?ted that body. and fixed the cleo tion laws of in" territory. and II f>ed them so that they could not by any possibility ever alter. amend modify or reoe"l thos" l.vs Th"rc is no question ?'n1' that Now, with respect to the members of the legislature the legislature can not now alter amend modify or repeal these election laws SO as to destroy itself or do anything else with respect to that matter"
 And on page 9 of the same repor he following statement of Mr. Wick .rsham appears:
 Mir Wickersham My judg ment is, and l prepared the laws of 1912 and assisted in preparing those of 1906. that there was no doubt that the legislature of Alaska had no authority over the matter of it's own election or the election of the delegate"
 Mir Sulzer believes in the principle ,f the people of Alaska controlling iuch matters through their local legis aure. MT. Wickersham has pre- ended that he is favorable to wide measure of self-government. even go ng so far as to pretend that he wa! n favor of statehood for Alaska SuCl )retensions have been made purell or the purpose of catching votes a ,lection time. as Is clearly shown b! he above quotations from the offcia cCOrd of congress. Mir. WiCkershan S determined the people of Alask; hall have no power, not even 10 en Ible them to provide measures fOl lean elections.

The meeting which followed be- tween Enver and myself was the most momentous I had had up to that time. We discussed the fate of the foreigners for nearly an hour. I found Enver in one of his most polite but most unyielding moods He told me before l began that 1t was useless to talk-that the matter was closed issue.
 "l asked him if had ever given him any advice that had led him into trouble. He graciously replied that they had never yet made a mistake by following my suggestions.
 Very well, take my advice in this case, too replied You will find later that you have made no mistake by doing SO
 But have given orders; l cannot countermand them. But if you can show me some way in which this order can be carried out and your proteges still saved, 1 shall be glad to listen to you
 " All right l said I think l can l should think you could still carry out your orders without sending all the French and English residents down. IT you would send only few. you would still win your point
 " How many will you let me send 9 he asked quickly. The moment he put this question l knew that had carried my point.
 " I would suggest that you take twenty English and twenty French forty in all
 Let me have fifty he said
 All right-we won't haggle over ten, answered But you must make another concession. Let me pick out the fifty who are to go.
 No. MT. Ambassador he replied. you have prevented me from making mistake this afternoon now let me prevent you from making one. If you select the fifty men who are to go. you will simply make fifty enemies think too much of you to let you do that. l will prove to you that I am your real friend Cant you make some other suggestion?'
 Why not take the youngest? They can stand the fatigue best
 That is fair answered Enver. He said that Bedri who was in the building at that moment, would select the 'yictims.'
 "Bectri, on learning of this arrange ment was not satisfied but Enver stuck to his agreement and gave or ders that only the youngest were to be taken"

TURKS MADE
 TARGETS OF
 FIFTY ALLIES

The Turks sent fifty French and British civilian residents of Constan- tinople to the firing line at Gallipoli as q ''reprisal" for alleged allied she'll ing of unfOrtified villages They plan ned to send three thousand. but the American ambassador. Henry Morgen- thau, finally persuaded the Turkish minister of war to send only fifty, af- ter the German ambassador had de clined to intercede with his Moslem allies. Mir Morgenthau's own story of the event, told in the Worlds Work just published. is as follows:
 "On the second of May, 1915. Enver sent his aide to the American embassy bringing q message which he request ed ne to transmit to the French and British governments.
 "In it he told me he had decided to collect all the British and French stantnople take them down to the Gallipoli peninsula and scatter them in Moslem villages and towns.
 "I was advised by one of my German friends to seek Wangcnheim' assist ance. l must admit that did this as forlorn hope. but at least thought 1t only fair 10 Wangenheim to give him q chance to help.
 "I called upon him in the evening at ten o'clock and stayed with him until eleven. I spent the larger part of this hour in a fruitless attempt to interest him in the plight of these non-combatants. Wangenheim said point blank that he would not assist me
 My talk with Wangenheim pro duCed no results, sa far as enlisting his support was concerned, but it stiff fened my determination to defeat this enterprise Meanwhile. Bedri, the prefect of police was busy arresting all the doomed English and French. The deportation was arranged to take place Thursday morning On Wednes- day the excitement reached the hys- terical stage. It seemed as if the whole foreign population of Constan- tinople had gathered at the American embassy.
 Whenever left my office and passed into the hall l was almost mobbed by scores of terror-stricken and dishevelled mothers and wives. The nervous tension was frightful; seized the telephone. called up En- yer. and demanded an interview.
 He replied that he would be happy to receive me on Thursday By this time, however, the prisoners would already have been on their way to Gallipoli.
 " No l replied. T must see you this afternoon
 After q long discussion he finally agreed to see me at the Sublime Porte at 3:3O

Liberty Day. Oct. Twelfth.

President Wilson has proclaimed
Saturday, Oct. II, the four hundred
and twenty-sixth anniversary OF the
discovery of America, as Liberty day.
and called upon all citizens to cele-
brate it to stimulate a generous re-
spouse to the fourth Liberty loan.
Every town, city and countryside
is asked by the president to arrange
commemorative demonstrations, and
he directs that all federal employees
whose services can be spared be CIV
en- a holiday.
The presidents proclamation fol-
lows in part:
Every daythe greatprinciples for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and 1t
grows clearer and clearer what SUI
preme service it is to be Americas
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery OF
America must therefore have for us
in this fateful year a peculiar ana
thrilling significance. We should
make it day of ardent rededication
to the ideals upon which our govern
ment is founded and by which our
present heroic tasks are inspired
Now, therefore, /, Woodrow
Wilson, president of the United
States, do appoint Saturday, the
twelfth day OF October, 1918. as
Liberty day. On that day re-
quest the citizens of every community
OF the United States, city, town and
countryside, to celebrate the dis
covery of our country in order to
stimulate a generous response to the
fourth Liberty loan. Let the peoples

the country from its discovery until

INFLUENZA AT CEDAR FALLS
Sixty-five Cases, Few Yet Malignant
Reported From That City.

Cedar Falls, lathe epidemic OF
Spanish influenza that is sweeping
over the country has reached Cedar
Falls. This became known today
when physicians reported upwards of
sixty-five cases here, partially con-
firming current rumors of from rs
to 100 cases.
At the same time it was learned
that one physician who has been at
tending influenza patients was him
self confined to his home with the
disease today.
Thus far most of the cases re-
ported are not malignant, though
three are reported as verging on
pneumonia.
1t was first generally thought
that malignant cases developed
pneumonia, but word reaching here
from Chicago today tends to dis
prove that theory. 1t was stated
that post mortem examinations at
the Great Lakes naval training sta
ton, where more than 5000 cases
were reported yesterday, disclosed
that the victims lungs fill up witt
boils.
This word came in connection
with a report on the condition of
Ernest Hansen, % years old, Ceda'
Falls boy at the naval training sta
ton recently stricken with Spanish
influenza and today reported as not
expected to survive.
Hansen is the son of DR.. A. S.
Hansen, practicing physician here.
who is now with his boy at Chicago.
Mrs. Hansen, who returned yester-
day afternoon, was not allowed in
her boys room.
No specific for the disease has yet
been discovered, according to local
physicians. Preventive measures
suggested are to guard against colds
to breathe fresh air, drink plenty OF
water and take pains to build up
vitality generally.

Cane Mills With Evaporators.

In Eagle Grove they are building
cane mill with evaporators of the
most modern type to take care of all
the sorghum cane that has been
planted in that county. Every cane
mill will lessen the demands on the
sugar supply. We can supply half
of our needs for sweets out of such
mills.

Atchison, Kan.-According to Mr..

AS Mr.. and Mrs. Lukens were

exactly what it figures" he replied,

Lukens didn't want to go back and
paid the entire amount. The officer
took the money and handed Mrs.
Lukens two baby bonds, which figAr-
ed exactly S8.3S.
Now don't say anything about IT.,
he said, "as there are several others

Only One Box of Christmas Present;
For Each Man With Pershing.

Only one Christmas package can
be sent to any soldier lover there
this year. That is the latest decis-
ion in Washington, according to an
Associated Press dispatch today. The
authorities have taken the trouble
to decide how big the soldiers
Christmas boxes may be. They can't
be larger than nine inches by four
by three. and must be mailed on or
before November Is.
The restrictions announced by the
war department are based on the ex-
pectation that otherwise the govern
ment would be swamped by the flood
of gifts that would be poured out for
our fighting boys. Officials feared
they would be utterly unable to han
die them in time. If Christmas pack
ages were to be accepted by the gov
eminent for delivery without stint TO
soldiers in France, it is believed a
huge amount of space would be taken
up by Santa Claus that is needed
more for supplies and food for our
armies.
No favoritism will be possible un-
der the proposed regulations and one
fellow with a lot of friends over here
won't be getting Christmas pack
ages galore around the holidays
while, others not so fortunate are
getting only few.

1t is given out from official circles in
Washington that the Government has
lost &:;OO.OOOOtW since it assumed the
operation of the railroads. There is
nothing strange about this. considering
the high salaries of the principal OIL
Gals of the roads. and the numerous
useless employees. In some instances
the president of Il railroad receives
$4,000 IA year. and a few others are
known to receive $4,000 and even
$1WO,0oO IL year. Ordinarily. $4,000
year would he ample pay. There are
many officials who receive from S1O,UW
to So5.OOO year. which is ut least
twice as much as the work is worth.
The Government should appoint its
own officials. and pay them what their
work is worth. This would prevent
officials from plunderiEg stockholders,
and the Gcvernment would run the
roads at a profit.
The government War Labor Board
has called for 1.GOo.0iD men, to lie SUP
Piled Immediately. even if some indus
tries must stop" The quota for Louis
Jana is $50. But, it will not reach
the point Of stopping important indus
tries. if the idle men are put to work.
According to a recent official inveSti-
CATION, it was found that there ar;
COCO male idlers in New Orleans If
whtc,, numler $1,000 are white. This
will supply the state quota, and leave
