The Appeal To Labor

 When at war with Germany eVeryDody headed the appeals of Government for cooperation the more quickly bring the success we were almns 1t. |.
 Today an appeal of almost equal importance, lh- yolying the comfort and welfare Of more than nun dred million people, is made to labor direct rom the White House.
 Several hundred thousand steel workers have or jered strike in the face of this appeal; While the Boston riots, apparently small in themselves threat en disruption in other sections of the unlted states
 When President Wilson asked the railroad shop- men to postpone their strike which would nave stopped transportation until the proposed economic and industrial conference be held on his return 10 Washington they readily consented; and Tn thelr action they the plaudits of nation
 There are certainly possibilities of settlement III tbe conference the President has called and, in the efforts to reduction in the cost of living which IS 3 material factor in the unrest.
 President Wilson has shown himself in every crisis which has presented itself, the cordial ana interested friend of labor No one knows and under stands this fact better than the labor leaders them selves. .
 What smaller concession, ill behalf of the entire country could he ask in the light Of this serVlce than that all disrupting movements of this charac- ter be withheld until after the conference he mas planned and planned unquestionaby in their pest interests?
 No man can forsee or foreten just what this economic conference is going achieve; but it is conceded it will make sincere and honest attempt at betterment. -
 In that view of it, selfish interest, along with natriotic impulse should demand that every man and every class of men, calmly and hopefully await it's results.

FOREIGNERS PLOTTING OVERTHROW
 OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

Government agents in Europe have reported tha' o preat army of undesirable people plan to come to this country as quickly is over and passports are obtainable Among the number are many radl- calls from various countries whose sole purpose IS government.
 These incoming undesirables from Europe oo hq' rronose to revolutionize the American government through the ballot, by the rule of majority, put' as ,bey did in Russia and tried to do Tn Gefmahy through the strike, and where deemed necessary, o9 the exercise of more direct methods of force
 To prevent these people from reaching this coun- try President Wilson has asked Congress to continue the present passport law for year following the proclamation of peace Congress should lose no time in taking the action requested. This country has its own war problems and is willing to work them out is in need of the European Bosshevlst' and none such should be permitted to enter the country
 we have more than enough of these undesirable visitors in our midst who trying to run the gov ernment now without letting more in. Men who come to the United States from foreign countries and freedom and who come, came the foreigners better their conditions, will always be welcome that class had added immensely to the greatness of this country and they have aided us to improve cur government. But do not want the trouDle makers, the bearers of the red flag of revolution through force the who seek to change the or der of things by giving government by minority instead of ma aority. We have the doors closed against this element and we should keep it closed

WICK AND THE NATIVES

Judge Wickersham has been making an effort to have of the educated Indians of South- eastern Alaska, who have severed tribal relations thrown and disregarded in the contest he IS waging for the of Delegate in Congress He has pretended that he greatly surprised when the District Attorney, election day wrote opn- ion in which he held that they had right to vote the evidence in the contest shows that he, personally and through workers made organized effort corral these votes for himself-and he did before the had been submitted to the Dis trict Attorney for his opinion.
 Let any ask himself what Wckershams atti- tude would have been had his efforts to bag the Indian of Southeastern Alaska been successful! Would he be attempting to have these votes excluded?
 Wickersham's real objections seem to be based rather on that majority of the Indian ters supported Suzer than because of his alleged il legality their claim a right of franchise.
 In the meantime. Wickersham contends that the Indians of the far Westward, who can neither read nor and who still recognize the authority of their tribal chietans and who live in tribal rela- tions ought have their votes counted-in those precincts where majority of them voted for him

This Is Time For Optimists
(NaldeZ Miner)

Every town has certain number of obstruc- tioniss. many they do not mean to hinder the progress of destiny but doubting Thomases with little confidence in their town, their environ themselves. They are so constituted that they must be shown before they believe, and by the time they shown it is too late to take advantage of opportunities presented
 If every Alaskan would choose the most optimistic in it; levy assessment to provide him with funds for advertising, and then paddock the pessimistic mouths and throw the key into the we'll good times would be advanced from three months to year. Other persons hindering the growth of city too mean to want to see their neighbors get ahead. They hold back in the harness and need liberal application of the gad of public iisapprova to stimulate them.

So Says Soldier Who Saw Detroit Motor Overcome
 Obstacles in France

Compelling evidence of the warm ad- miration held for Dodge Brothers motor car by members of the American expedi- tionary forces, is contained in an endless succession of letters received by the De- troit manufacturers from uniformed men of every rank. More than 14,oo0 Dodge Brothers motor cars served with the American army and the following letter is typical of the comments of those who saw the car in action:
 While reading some New York papers recently l noticed that while other cars were praised highly Gin their advertise ments) for the good work done in overseas searvice, nothing was said of the Dodge car.
 T have been over here on active serv- ice for year and have been driving a Dodge Brothers Sedan for the last eight months This little car has made 27,00o miles and has never been laid up for motor, transmission or any other car trouble. It's work during this time can not be praised too highly. In all the big battles of the Third division, namely, Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and Ar gonne, the little Dodge has never once failed to respond. In the fast American campaign i have driven it Up hills and through roads where other carsscf higher kEfCt were lCTCS0 IO ueLOuT lindNe been through roads with mud right to the hub Saps and places where only tanks and artillery tractors could make their xsay,.
 -i shs sure if decorations were given to motor vehicles on their good work performed in war service, the Dodges that are on duty with the A. E. F. would receive the lions shart. Although her beauties were marred many times by shrapnel holes, she is still on the job with the aymy on the Rhine. Have used only two sets of tires in all the 270oo miles and the roads of notrehern France are very different from Riverside Drive. As for oil, I have used from the thin- nest grade to the heaviest transmission oil and have never been troubled with loose bearings I am sure this is a won derful record for car that is so low in price.

 Railroads, too. were great reducers of time, and it is the ever present desire of railroad officials to shorten this time still further. Freight is now transported faster than passengers used to be in the earlier days, and still the cry is for faster schedules-more speed
 These advances, however. were con- fined in general to long hauls, Nothing much had been done to make the trans portation of merchandise from the ware house to the railroad and from the rail- road to the store any quicker than it had been in the past, and here the automo- bile stepped in to fill the gap.
 Truck transportation to feed railroads IS now recognized as of almost as great
