Juneau has been bleeding from a controversy over a chief of police for several years. First it was Chief Harding, now it is Chief Dargin. It is high time the council interviewed the business men, ascertain their views on the subject of a police head and then either retain the present chief or remove him. The time wil lshortly be at hand when Juneau will need chief which can command the respect and confidence of the community. or this there can be no controversy be- tween any factions.-Juneau Dispatch.
 An election law that will guarantee the sanctity of the ballot box is an Alaskan need which should receive the earnest attention of the 1egisla- ture. Indians who cannot read or write, who have not severed their tribal relations, who are not living as civilized people live, should not be permitted to vote. On the other hand, Indians should be encouraged to prepare themselves to assume the duties and exercise the privileges Of citizenship. Let us have an honest election law, and let it be so plain that elections may be held, the votes count ed and canvassed without the need of courts and lawyers to tell people what to do.-Juneau Empire.

SCARCITY OF HOUSES
 IN BRITISH METROPOLIS

LONDON, Feb. 10 (by maiD The growing demand for houses in London has caused some landloards to notify tenants to leave in order that the houses may be re-rented at higher rentals.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS.

Congress must have a spite against Alaska; for everything that comes up it is either pruned out of shape or knocked in the head or something. It is our lawmakers inning and they seem to take advantage of their op- portunity to improve it. They are wise, for the time will come when Alaska shall be ill position to even up what appears as a game of spite. All Alaska's friends-and they are many-have been very active in their efforts to secure a reasonable appro- priation and other things, including the leasing of coal land system of the States, all in vain. The house cut the appropriation down by more than five million dollars, now comes the news that Alaskas coal must be conserved. But after all we have no right to ex- pect anything for we have no voice in that lawmaking body.-Ketchikan Miner.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 RIDICULED BY HUNS

BERLIN, Feb. 16 (by maiD .-"The so-called league of nations" is the headline placed by the Zeitung am Mittag over its report from Paris giv- ing the outlines of the proposed con stitution of the new world society. The newspaper declares the proposed league is simply compact or alliance of five great nations, who reserve the right to admit or exclude other na- tions. The reservation in the disarm- ament clause that disarmament shall take into consideration "the geograph- ical situation" of nation plainly means, the Zeitung am Mittag asserts, that France shall be exempted from It's provisions.

FAIR-PRICE LIST
IMPRACTICABLE

William A. Orr, secretary Of the
New York Fair-Price Committee's
Subj Committee on Clothing, Shoes
and Dry Goods, wrote letter to
Federal Food Commissioner Arthur
Williams in which he said that he
did not believe in publishing cost
prices of shoes and clothing as a
basis for fair prices of these COM
modities, but gave it as his opinion
that the competitive advertising in
the newspapers led to fair prices.
The letter said in part:
GAS a result of our investigation
we are now able to report to you
that the publication of daily price
list arbitrarily fixed by this CON-
mittee is impracticable, and not the
best way to handle this matter for
the greatest benefit to the consun-
er. We would report that the contin-
uous daily advertising in the daily
newspapers by the merchants en-
gagged in handling clothing, shoes,
and dry goods constitutes practically
a daily competitive price hst, the re-
sulting publicity being the best guar
antee that the consumer shall obtain
fair prices. 1t does not seem eitheE
feasible or practical that the retail
dealer exhibit at the time of sale
his cost price.

CARRANZA SAYS HE
is AMERICAS FRIEND

In an official statement to the
American press representatives,
President Carranza of Mexico de-
plored what he called the persistent
mistake of the newspapers of Amer
lea in representing him always as
trying to stir up trouble with Amer
lea. His only object was to pro-
mote friendship, he said. Part of
the presidents statement follows:
1T is foolish for any one to think
that we are concerned in provoking
trouble. We do not want it and will
do everything that is honorable to
avoid war, conserving our national
dignity. But if war is forced upon
US, we will be compelled to resist to
the end to uphold our sovereignty.
''Do the American people realize
that war would mean waste and the
loss of thousands of lives for no real
reason? IL the agitation for inter-
vention is based upon the killing of
some unfortunate Americans in GER
tain regions which we sincerely re-
greet, the regions not being fully I'M
der control-would it not be better
for others to desist from entering
these regions until full protection
can be assured? The fact that Mex
leo, although sadly needing funds,
is willing to pay indemnities for
these unfortunates should be proof
that she is trying to protect foreign
ers, not to injure them.
eff war is desired for commercial
reasons, that is foolish, as the United
States can gain the entire friendship
and good will of Latin America and
dominate commerce by friendly acts.
War would mean that extensive arm
les must be employed and that friend
shipship with the Latins would be
lost. Armies would capture towns,
but would need many soldiers to
guard their lines. Meanwhile bands
of Mexicans would harass the in
vaders."
In regard to Villa, President Car
rama said: "Villa is practically
ended, although he will still cause
trouble. Small groups of Villistas
will raid small ranches, but it is only
question of short time when the
bandits will be exterminated."

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

II you are accustomed to wake up
with . coated tongue, foul breath or
dull, dizzy headache; or, Il your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have real surprise await
Ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass of hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate In it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out Of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestIble waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal,
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form Of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side-bath. It is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
siastic and keep it up daily. It is a
splendid health measure for 1t is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as.millions of people practice
it Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.

part as follows:
1.-The street was crowded with peo-

could range, rows of push-carts lined
the curb. Gr%ay-bearded patriarchs,
mothers with babies in their arms,
bargained for fruits and vegetables,
hardware, handkerchicfs, hats. under
furbelows Of a thousand kinds.
Aged grandmOthers, bent, stood aside
from the crowd and gaZed with tired
and wrinkled faces on the rushing

children, lodging in and out, running
up and down, everywhere. Over 1t

Upton IS BUSY
ARRANGING FOR
RACE NEXT YEAR

LONDON.-Since his return to
London from America, Sir Thomas
Upton has set about the task of
completing his arrangements for
next years contest for the Ameri-
cas- cup in earnest The most i'm
portant decision so far arrived at,
said recently, is to send the 23-
meter Shamrock to America early
next year to act as a trial boat in
the tuning-up spins of the chal-
lenger, Shamrock ". Asked who
would have charge of the British
boat, Sir Thomas replied: "W. P.
Burton has consented to sail the
challenger in the race for the Am
erica's cup, and also take charge of
the 23-metre Shamrock
Naturally, he will have his own
professional skipper" Sir Thomas
added. ''Mr. Burton will also be
responsible for engaging the crews
of both boats, and, in fact, ne will
be in entire charge of the whole of
the trials and the actual races on
the other side. Charles E. Nichol-
son, her designer. is going over at
an early date for the purpose of
examining the Shamrock
""
"Do you think any alterations
are likely to be made in her." Sir
Thomas was asked.
THAT is a matter which / am
leaving entirely to Mr.. Nicholson's
judgment. Many experienced yachts
men are of the opinion that Sham
rock " is far and away the best
boat have ever had to represent
me in this great contest
''If you lose this time, will you
challenge again."
Il have the greatest hopes that
l shall be successful in this, my
fourth attempt to bring back the
cup, but if l am not successful,
can only say that l shall give Mr..
an order to build another
boat"

JAPS AMERICANIZING.

Reforms in the Japanese Ian
guage school system. of Hawaii
were decided upon at Honolulu
recently, at conference of As
teachers. The japanese educators
plan to Americanize the schools and
to stress the work of inculcuating
American ideals n their pupils while
retaining the privilege of studying
their language and culture.
The establishment of a normal
school for japanese teachers, with
at least part of the staff to be
composed of Americans, is to be
taken up Immediately. 1t was unani-
mously determined that more atten-
ton must be paid in the japanese
schools to the teaching of American
history, ideals and customs and the
English language.
The issue was clearly presented
to the teachers by r. Moroi, Jap
anese consul-general, who declared
that if the japanese are to retain
their privilege of teaching the Jap
anese language, they will have to do
it in such a way as to satisfy
Americans in Hawaii. He said the
japanese schools could be so main
tanned that there would be no fear
of disloyalty to the United States,
and that the schools must be so
conducted. *.>:.. -
In the last territorial legislature
two measures were introduced for
/ the regulation Of foreign language
schools in Hawaii Both bills were
killed. The japanese claimed their
enactment would force them to close
their schools and promised, if given
time, to work out a system that
would meet all objections
