Wick Opposes Uniforms
(Valdez Miner)

Evidently MT. Wickersham in his coming con test will attempt to unseat his opponent upon tho ground that a man wearing the uniform has no right to while in the Nations Territorial possessions During the past few days numerous affidavts have to the local soldiers asking them to swear that they voted for his opponent, Charles A. Sulzer and that they did knowing they citizen. Of the Territory, or words of the meaning Unfortunately, for MT. Wckersham. the greater ma jority of the boys in khaki Alaskans raised here living here the required time before volunteering or being drafted for service. The claim that b, donning the uniform of their country in time o need renders them longer citizens is argument too spacious and technical for the average lay mind to grasp.

tion for himself alone, and yet he wants the party to decide
 There is general agreement the proposition that the question whether this country shall go to league or stay is something that each Sen ator must decide for himself, and to the generality of minds-but not to Senator Borah's-this means that the question is not party question.
 What the Senator expects to gain by putting his party officially record we do not know, but apparently underneath his excited exterior there is settled determination to the Republican party kick himself out of it, and he would like de- cisive issue upon which to determine his course

BORAH'S DEMAND

The and substance of Senator Borah's lat est outburst is that he wants the Republican party to declare its position the League Nations but he warns the party at the outset that he will never abide by the decision unless it his way.

SILKS OF GORGEOUS COLOR
Huguenot Collection Exhibited In New
York Declared to Be q Marvel
of RreaerYatiAa.

What is perhaps the most wonder
full exhibition Of old French silks in the
world Is to be seen In the library of
the international Buyers club at 100
West FOrty-secOnd street. New York,
says Scientific American. The col
lection comprises more than 700 speci-
mems Of silk manufactured by the de-
scendants Of the Huguenots who set
tied in Spitalfields and Bethnal Green,
London, after the revocation of the
edict of Nantes in 1856. It has lately
come into possession of the Interna-
tionaI Buyers club and is said to be
the most valuable of Its kind in the
world.
The fabrics of the collection are as
durable and the colors as brilliant as II
they We're turned from the looms yes
tcrday. The disintegration of the silk
fabric that one sometimes sees in Chi
nese mandarin coats has not taken
place. Indeed, the old French silk
workers did not develop their art from
the ancient Chinese, who jealously
guarded the secrets of their craft.
The silk industry was originated In
the western world by two Persian
monks who had resided in China and
who in about $50 brought to Constan.
tinople the eggs Of the silk worm in
a hollow bamboo tube. From these
contents developed the silk industry Of
Europe.
There is an elusive delicacy about
the French silks that quite defies de-
scrlptiOn. Many of the French pat
terms are quite up to date and are said
to he in line for any revival of styles.
This is particularly true of the tiny
patterns in checks, blue, red, green and
brown in fields of white silk, all of
which are adapted to cravats. The
gorgeous colors are shown in the silks
of upholsteries; the most delicate and
evnnescent in those evidently intend.
ed for women's apparel or draperles.
Wonderful dyes the French weavers
used, vegetable dyes that increase in
their beauty as the years 60 by. Gold,
pure yellow, brilliant gold, is shown;
white, ivory, flesh, coral. turquoise, ap-
ricot, ocean green, ashes of rose,
chartreuse, honey. maple, geranlum,
scarlet. cardinal, garnet and thou
sand other tints that would be hard
to match today even when we have
1913 shades of navy blue alone.
The strength and durability Of the
silks in this collection. some of which
are hundreds Of years old, suggest that
with reasonable care they are proof
against disintegration of the ages.
There Is not n cracked, worn or thin
sample among them. The brilliance of
their dyes. some of whose formulas
are at present lost to the world, is
evidence that the world may never
be forced to be completely dependent
upon any one nation for its dyes and
that the forgotten lore in the art Of
dyeing fabrics reveals the varied flu.
ture that may be revived under the
spur Of necessity. r

Opposition Knocks Bonds.

Hundreds of letters are pouring into
the capitol from cities and towns after
the site for the big state mill and ele-
vator. In striking contrast to each
other are the business men of Grand
Forks and the I. v. A. clemens and
their paper in Fargo. The latter have
become so obsessed by their bitterness
to the organized farmers that the
piper is doing all in its power to dis.
credit the bonds the state is trying to
sell to build up these great enter
prises. The Fargo Forum recently
advised against investment in these
bonds on the ground that states in the
PAST had repudiated or discounted
their bonds. This was very coloretl
and exaggerated statement and failed
utterly to Take circumstances into con.
sideration or explain the absolute
difference in conditions and circum.
stances In North Dakota and in some
states following the Civil war which
were obliged to discount their bonds,
The Forum screed also failed to
enumerate the large number of cases
showing where state and government
bonds have proved to be the best and
safest investments and how financial
interests in the east, after studying
the situation, have pronounced North
Dakota bonds. among the safest and
best Of Investments.
