THE MISSING PRECINCTS.

Interest in the long drawn out contest over the Del eeateshp in Alaska is cenered in seven missing pre- cncts which widely separated in the Third D- vision. Two of them away out on the Alaskan peninsula Two of them Cook Inlet and three in the Bristol Bay country Boring sea near the mouth of the Nushagak river.
 Kena and Ninichick, two of the missing precincts, are located on the east coast of Cook Inlet. Two wears ago Kenai gave Sulzer and Wickersham 22, while Ninilchik gave Sulzer 1T and Wickersham D. Chignik is located the Alaskan peninsula, and gave Sulzer 15 and Wclersham in the last cleo ion Sanak also is located at the far Westward, and is new precinct It is expected to give Suzer plurality. The other three precincts are the very notorious Bristol Bay precincts The returns of two of them Choggiung and Nushagak, excluded from the final count two years because of failure comply with the Australian ballot law. The other is Naknek, also in the Bristol Bay country. years ago the face of the alleged returns from these precincts showed as follows Choggiung, Sul- ger B. Wickersham 25 Naknek, Sulzer g, Wicker sham O. Nushagak Sulzer B. Wckersham 10.
 Speculation as how these precincts voted this year is very keen. Those in best position to know think Sulzer has carried the precinct, Sanak. They believe that the other precincts will cast light votes and give smaller pluraties than in the last election Word from Bristol Bay late October that Suzer would probably carry them this year. if elections held at all. Chignk and Min ilchik expected to give suzer pluraties again.
 At Valdez it is believed that the missing precincts will add to Suzers plurality and possibly increase his lead in the Territory to 50.
 However, the returns have disclosed that the pre- election estimates havee not always been reliable. Iet while not inconceivab1e, it is highly improb- able that Sulzer's lead will be reduced to the danger point by any further returns

The Republicans unanimously of the opinion that such construction would be put upon Republican Congressional victory. The whole effort of the campaign put forth to prove how completely the Republicans had stood behind the President and how greatly they admired his states nanship The acting Republican floor leader in the House, Representative Giett, referred the Pres dent as the ideal spokesman of the American people" Under the circumstances the Republicans estopped from contendng that the election was rebun to the President or that he should have the undi- yided support of the American people in the peace negotiations.

Kansas Bursts into Bloom Again.
(Cincinnati Enquirer ]

Cincinnati EnQuirer)
 Redolent of the rampant radicalism of Peffer the plentifuy bearded Populist is his latest successor in the United States Senate from Kansas, Governor Arthur Capper. Like the departed tribune of 25 ago. the latest arrived leader loudly declaims against the rich and desires them be despoiled of their plutocratic pelf.
 AS Chairman of the Farmers National Commits sion for War Financing, Kansas product like the sunfower the Governor asserts that the rich have evaded and still endeavorng to evade their fair share of the of the war. There are he la ments, 23000 millionares in the United States and he fears that there billionaires in the making Hence he demands that the Republican major ity in Congress- of which he is to be one shall i'm pose higher upon the corporations increase the margin of impost upon profits and add to the amount of the income taxes In addition there must be heavy taxes laid upon unusued land and also upon ''inadequately used' land, whatever that may
 It is evident that the Senator is to occupy a prominent niche in future legislation. Not without humor is the place assigned him in advance by Washington political expert, who said that the Republican regime in Congress would embrace four divisions. The first would be made up of the old actionares, the second of the former Progressives the third of Senator Robert M LaFolette, and the of Kansas. The country awaits his coming, and may it be added, his combing by the veterans in the Senates chamber.

Our Mail Service.
(Cordoya Herald


 The mail service to Alaska and between Alaskan ports is worse now than it has been for the past twenty years. Even in the early days, when the yes sells leaving Seattle for Southwestern Alaska ports few and far between the people in this section of the country could figure closer and more conf- dently upon service than today.
 The last vessel to reach Cordova from Southeastern Alaska was the steamship Alameda which arrived here November 10. The last vessel from the same district, previous to the Alameda, arrived Octo- Der 2, thus leaving period of thirty nine days during which mail received from Juneau, Ketchikan Skagway or any of the Southeastern Alaska ports
 Since the Alameda sailed there has been steam- ship from Southeastern Alaska, and the next vessel to be expected via the Inside Passage the steamship Admiral Watson which is scheduled to sail from Seat tie today This means that the period between these mails will be at least eighteen or nineteen days.
 The steamship companies now are operating their steamships to the best advantage in order clear up the congestion freight. They be blamed for this procedure. They get nothing for carrying the mails other than the regular freight rate, and a consequence cannot give service similar to which would be expected if they had mail con- tract with reasonable compensation.
 The war is over and it is up to the Office De- partment to realize this fact and that Alaska has real mail service.

A PRAYER FOR THE ENEMY.

The moving finger is writing
so swiftly at Vienna, at Buda-
pest, and probably at Berlin,
that the eye can scarcely follow
the sequence of epochmaking
events or grasp their full signifi-
ance to the world of the future,
says the New York Sun. The
awful drama that began with
the insolent ultimatum to Serbia,
intended both by its Hapsburg
authors and its Hohenzollern in
stigators to precipitate the war
that .har now gone against them,
is ending with the doom of en-
pires and crash of throneo. Vic
torious civilization is watching
daily the most majestic manifes-
tation of Divine Justice, effected
through human agencies, that
history has ever recorded or per-
haps ever will record.
AS we get in rapid succession
the news of the eliminating de-
velopments of the four years
tragedy, the reports of riot and
assassination, of fallen and falling
dynasties, of national disintegra-
ton and destruction, of the vio-
lent appearance of long sub
merged passion and lawless
power, one thought and one hope
must be common to all.
For the sake of the innocent or
half innocent in enemy lands, the
hearts now bitterst toward the
responsible authors of the great
crime for which the whole world
has suffered through years of
sacrifice and agony must pray
that we may not witness in Ger
man Austria, in Hungary, or in
Prussia itself, that which we
have already witnessed in Russia,
our friend.

THE RAINBOW WILL FOLLOW
THE FLOOD.

Austria follows Bulgaria and
Turkey in accepting armistlce
terms which involve complete
surrender. The Austrian En-
peror has decided toabdicate and
the Empire will be dismembered.
History is being made with in
credible swiftness these days.
The mind is dazed by the rush
of stupendous events. Mighty
nations are breaking up and an
cient thrones are topping down
on every hand and an overwhelm-
ing flood of change is sweeping
away the landmarks of centuries
1t is as if a final day of Judg-
ment had dawned upon the
world-as if the peoples OF the
earth had been called before the
bar of a great and awful asslze.
What will emerge when the
waters of the flood go down?
Will there be wreck and ruin, or
publication and strength? The
pessimist sees only chaos, but
poets like Tennyson and the auth
or of our Battle Hymn of the Re-
public" saw long ago by prophetic
faith a new order born from the
anguish of the old. Republics
in Austria, in Russia, in Bulgaria
possibly in Germany-the par
lament of man and the federation
of the world seem to be among the
probabilities of tomorrow. In
the glory of the Lord the old
earth is marching on. and in
time it will look upon the travail
of it's soul and be satisfied. -

is needed now than in normal times.
