the Willard Memorial just four years ago 1t favored the Shoup Memorial the Willard Memorial, recommend ed by the House Committee is satisfactory to those who have fought so long and so consistently foT selfgov ernment in this Territory It is general in its terms but it is comprehensive and expressive. Its meaning could be mistaken by the Congress of the United States and that is the main purpose o1 such memorial. It also possesses the virtue or brevity-and that is not slight virtue
 However if the House should accept the recon mendation of it's committee it should amend the 1915 memorial by changing the words, Enabling Act where they appear inserting the words, Organic Act for it is the Organic Act that it is sought to have changed. There has not yet been Enabling Act for Alaska The term Enabling Act,' is used to designate act enabling Territory to adopt a Constitution preparatory to admission a State.

FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.

The Mining and Scientific Press Of san frahciso' is one of the two three greatest mining papers U the world and is very carefully edited soncilous " the facts and conscientious in weighing its words a conclusions Commenting upon the Wickersham let ter to Secretary of the Interior Lane this very aol publication in it's editorial columns, April l2, says
 "Secretary Lane, of the Department Of the interior has been attacked viruently by MT James Wickersham the Delegate to Congress from Alaska in a letter that has been pup lished in the daily press. Judge WlckerSnam demands the withdrawal of Secretary Lane from the official management Of the GoVeIn ment railroad in Alaska, declaring that ms administration is a failure caused by '1ncom- petent and petty political partsanshlp. 10 any unpreudiced person, it is clear that the attack itself is written for political purposes
 it is supported by wild conjectures and un- supported charges reckless as to merit severe condemnation The management or the Alaska railroad may have defects, as IS usual in any government administration of any railroad, but in this case 1t Is evident that Judge Wickersham has exceeded the limits of fair play.

Luke McLuke Says

It doesn't take you long to get acquainted with girl before you marry her But it takes you a long time to get acquainted with her af- ter you marry her
 Wouldn't it be fine if we only had have Unwritten Laws?
 It is easy enough for a wife to get her husband home before sup per. But it is mighty hard for her to keep him home after supper.
 We know a man who got mad be- cause he was sued for $100,000 dam ages. Shux! We would regard it as compliment.
 And if you give your wife every thing she wants, she will want ev erything the other women want.
 Any time you go around calling a man crook you can bet that he is going around giving you the same brand of free advertising.
 Some men seem to think that the only way to do a good turn is tC turn the other fellow down.
 And the fact of the matter is that if some men did know them selves they wouldn't be acquainted with very much.
 Along about the time a man reach es the age of 60 he possesses a lot of knowledge that he would be will ing to sell for about 99 per cent. less than the information cost him.
 We can't understand why mos men seem to think that it is agains the law to look pleasant when they are having a photograph taken.

IT GOT ATTENTION.

Authoritative from the Allied troops the Archangel and Murmansk fronts is to the effect that if re-enforcements are not sent
 promptly they will probably be captured by the Bolshevik troops, which are much strong numerically and well armed.
 Any such ending to the campaign in North
 ern Russia would be to the everlasting shame
 and disgrace of the Allied nations concerned
 There may be good reasons for withdrawing
 from Russia, and circumstances might arise
 which would compel the Allies to go to Rus
 sa in force for the purpose of controlling the
 efforts of the Bosheviki to spread their mis-
 government all of Europe. But it is re-
 ported good authority that the Peace Con-
 ference has thus far been unable to agree
 upon either policy upon any other Rus
 sian policy, for that matter. The Russian
 question has been adrift and has drifted
 into situation which threatens disaster.
 For this there is reason to be, in meas
 ure, thankful. The news from Russia com
 pes attention and action. Immediate steps
 safeguard the troops must be agreed upon
 and the Allies must decide one way or the
 other to how they will face the problem
