WHY WASHINGTON WAS SILENT

 Vindication of the American policy of refrainng from requesting Japan intervene in Siberia is to be discerned in the troubling reports from Moscow. due to the landing troops at Vladivostok by the British and Japanese Governments. While there was discreet silence maintained Washington, it did not require much vision why consent for inter vention was not given. The President, like most well posted Americans perfectly aware that the National feeling in Russia against the little brown men" would burst forth the moment the first Jap anese flag broken out to the breeZes on the home soil People do not easily forget those who have humiliated them.
 It was not astonishing therefore, that the local officials Vadivostok promptly protested the land ing and that the Moscow idealists should be threateneing to open against the invaders, as they choose to call them The table has been laid invitingly for another game of German intrigue To the present tense situation there is added the potential danger of a complete sOmersault the part of the revoIutonaries in Russia and their appearance as Allies of Central Powers against their former comrades in the great There is just one ele- ment safety o be amid the gloom.

 It was a negro preacher who said "De easiest thing in the world to be mistaken. Good men often with the best of intentions but through misguided judgment.
 Good erred lately in Alaska by being per suaded to attempt to wreck the Democratic party in the Territory through having their vanity played upon For example:
 William Maoney exploited by friends of Wickersham and made believe he could secure that those friends of Wickersham loved Maloney but that they loved Sulzer less that Maloney beguiled into attempting a hopeless Maloney mistaken and there is no doubt but thai he realizes his mistake, probably do other Democrats who persuaded into being lined up and used tail to his kite.
 Now that MT. Maoney and those who joined him in being used tools of those whose aim to wreck the Democratic party in Alaska have been shown their at the polls there is still room for them within the ranks of the Democratic party if they fit to return to it and work for it and the best interests of the Territory they did before they exploited by politicians less honest and designing than themselves. True, they erred but most people do at time in their careers, but they return like sinners to the fold now to be done for Alaska and long as the Democratic party is in power at Washington, that work best be accomplished within the ranks and through the Democratic party in Alaska.

DR HORNADAY AS AN EXPERT
Valdez Miner)

Official Washington has curious ideas about Alas ka. No matter what question is brought up some al legged scientist bobs up with rockngchair acquan- tance with his subject and spills the beans for the Territory. Recently the Senate Committee Terri tories discussing the game regulations of Alaska and Dr. Hornaday, a member of the Society for the Preservation or Game told the committee that there were not over 5,000 caribou left in the Territory and that their numbers being rapidly thnned Notwithstanding the testimony of numerous Alaskans that these noble anmas roamed the hills and passes by the million the Doctors evidence was admitted as expert testimony and that of the Aaskans turned down. It IS aDsurd to imagine that form any idea or thls vast Territory from the deck of steamship; or even by a year two's residence. It takes quarter gentry of hard travelling to walk over a small part or It, and men who have been here longer than that confess that they yet do not know their Alaska.
