GERMANY'S HAND DISCLOSED.

In view of the revelations of how German agents sought control public opinion in the United States by of bought newspapers, of which The New York Evening Mail was the most conspicuous example it is interesting to recall movement which took form in the late summer and fall of 1915 to in fuence the Presidential election of the following year Even then the who directing Germanys propaganda in this country distrused President Will It their plan to obtain such representation in the Republican National Convention that they could dictate the nomination of neutral candidate for Pres ident, with -and-out pro-Greman for Vce-Pres ident.
 This plan engineered by less indi vidual than Dr. Heinrich Albert, the German agent who sold German bonds in the United States for the purpose of obtaining money with which to sub sdize or buy up American newspapers. Albert had long made a study of American politics and with German assurance considered himself competent to pull the wool over the eyes of the Americans them selves.
 In November 1915, The Providence Journal tained full warning of the plans formed by Dr. All bert and "a number of prominent German Americans in New York" to control the Republican convention Among other things, it said:
 Their plans have been laid with great care.
 and it is believed that certain Republican
 leaders including at least two United States
 Senators have been in conference for the past
 week with men representating the German in
 terests, who willing to pledge very large
 sums of money toward the Republican cam
 paign fund in return for the party's action in
 placing a certain man on the ticket.
 The certain man" who was referred to as the choice of the potters candidate for the Vice President former Cabinet officer of well known pro-German leanings It thought that his nom ination would solidify the German vote. The mat ter was discussed at the German embassy in Wash ington and at luncheon given at the German Club in New York At this luncheon prominent Ger man-Amercan brewer" is said to have announced that Germans in the United States would match the contributions of Dr. Albert, dollar for dollar in this
 The plans never got beyond the formative stage. The tide of anti-German feeling in this country was slowly rising and the nomination of a pro-German candidate for Vice-President considered bad pol tics The schemers contended themselves with oppos- ing the reelection of President Wilson, in the belief that Hughes could be more easily handled. It is comforting for the American people to reflect that this belief was mistaken They would have got no further with Hughes than they have with

The Best Delegate Alaska Ever Had.

 Despite the presence of James Wickersham in Washington the past session of Congress, and his un ceasng attempts to nullify the work of Charles A. Suzer believe that every Alaskan, regardless of party utilization, who has kept abreast of the work done by MT. Sulzer will acknowledge that his efforts have been for the betterment of the Territory We believe that the most ardent supporter of Mr. Wick ersham will acknowledge that MT. Suder has been the best Delegate Alaska has had for decade more While the vote of the Committee Elections was based upon trivial techncaty, and one that would require legal to derentate from the facts of the case 1t is undeniabe that white soldier should have right to have his vote counted than an Aleut who has severed his tribal relations Trick cry and deceit may prevail for few months but the taremendous majority piled up by MT. Sulzer in the primary shows that his true worth is realized by his constituents.

Persistent Advertising Pays.
(Cordova Times. ]

If there is enterprise earth that qutter should leave entirely alone it is advertising To make success of advertising must be prepared to SUCK like harnacle boats bottom. He should know before nc begins it that he must spend money-ot3 ot it. Somebody must teli him that hn not hope to resTts commensurate with his expenditures cary in the game. Advertising doesn't jerk-t pulls It begins very gently at first but the pull is steady It increases day by day and by year until it ex- erts an irresistible power-John Wanamaker.
 If you could with your newspaper ad into the hundreds of homes each day and it do it's work would no longer doubt the value of such publicity.
 The tmid advertiser thinks only of the space he buys while in fact this is not what he pays for at all. Buying newspaper space means buying an au- dience. Space is only the medium through which he conveys impression of his goods and his store to possible customers. Nothing thoroughly denti- ies store with the substantial interests of town than persistent newspaper adveNisng. It is a sign that the store invites inspection.

ALASKA SHOULD BE REPRESENTED

Alaska should be represented at that Fish and Game Convention at New York next month, and in all the Territory there is not one who could do 1t better than Charles D. Garfield of this city. Alaska is the greatest fish and game section of Uncle sam s domain We have of both than any other part of our common country, and we must educate the East to the necessity of permitting us to regulate Alaska fishing and game hunting in Alasna where the people understand the conditions and nave VI tai interest in the matter.

 The girl who uses so much pow der on her face that she looks like a marshmellow may imagine that the men think she is the Candy Kid. But she has another think coming
 A man doesn't realike how well off he is when a girl jilts him. Be- ing disappointed in love keeps you from being disappointed in marriage.
 One way to get ahead is to re- member that five minutes of To- day is worth five hours of To-mor- TOW.
 Marriage without Love doesn't worry a woman much. But divorce without Alimony makes her scream with indignation.
 A girl can understand why man could fall in love with her. But if he falls in love with some other girl she wonders where the poor boob's eyes are.
 Judging from some of the alliances they make, it seems as though a woman would rather be married than be happy.
 War may be hell. But there is no word that is fit to print that will come anywhere near telling what Kultur is.
 And no power on earth could make a woman wear hat that hides her hair if the hat didn't cost more than the hair.
 Another thing you may have dis covered is that man doesn't have to be loaded to shoot off his mouth.
 Many a man makes capital out of his Spotless Reputation when the fact is that he has been lucky enough never to get caught.
 Another reason why the Divorce Courts are kept busy is because a girl will marry man just because she is afraid some other girl will get him.
