THE CLOWNS PERFORMING AGAIN.

The editor of the Dispatch who hand picked lit tie convention and nominated himself for Senator after that belongs to a political age that disappeared in America many years ago. never to re- turn and who after a campaign of misrepresentation, attempted prostitution of patriotic societies and other dspicable methods soundly beaten by the people at the polls, makes clownish grmaces and squeaks machine" at those who were nominated for of- flee at-.the regular primary election, in which the whole people generally participated, and were after ward chosen by fine majorties by discriminating electorate represent the First Division in the Leg islature. Really clown is absurd anywhere except in circus.
 The attempt to make it appear that Gov. Riggs had asked the Legislature to pass resolution endorsing former Representative Arthur Shoup for reappolnt- ment at the Pioneers Home in order to save him from the pressure of machine is too silly even to laugh at in dry country where people are sober Foolish clowns who prate about Gov Riggs needing a guardian ought make their noise at Coney Island or Luna Park and not in Alaska where Gov. Riggs is known.

If cooperation in support of the progressive admins trGtions of President Wilson Secretary Lane and Gov Riggs constitutes machine politics, there may be a Democratic machine in Juneau. Otherwise there is Instead trying dictate to Gov. Riggs the great body of Juneau Democrats and those who were chosen manage the affairs of the party in the First Division until their successors chosen, backing him up-and they very glad to do it, because he is worth backing up. As far The Empire knows the Democrats are everyone of them, delighted with his progressive policies.

sULzER VOTED ACCORDING TO LAW.

A dispatch bearing a Juneau date line appearing in the Skagway Alaskan says
 -AIt was announced here today that the
 coming Alaska Delegate election contest will

 crikan.
 This charge comes as a sumner Suzer's

 tion laws, and it is thought that if Wicker
 sham is able to prove his charge that it will
 go a long way in dscreditng Sulzer.'
 This just another piece of characteristic Wickite misrepresentation. MT. Sulzer voted at Charcoal Point precinct under the terms of the 1915 Alaska Election Law, just hundreds of citizens of Alaska precincts other than the precincts in which they lived in the elections of 1916 and 1918. Two years ago Representative J. H. Davies, who is in the Legislature, voted at Gastineau channel pre- cinct notwithstanding that he then, now, resident of Ketchikan. The law of 1915 permits any who is otherwise qualified to in any pre- cinct within the Division in which he lives Uncer this provision in all of the Divisions people have voted in precincts in which they did live. It is estimated that hundreds voted
 There is a division of sentiment among lawyers ot legality of this provision the law and to protect their legal rights in the deci- zion should be that the law is invalid attorneys for Mir.

The Powerful Postscript.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(Cinclnnat1 EnQuITtT.J
 Political emancipation is not going to deprive wom- an of of inherent rights, that of attaching postscripts to written instruments In the national equal suffrage assembly at St. Louis, for instance, it decreed that organized voting women should refrain from attaching themselves as body to any partisan movement. P S.-Unless the Board of D- rectors should vote otherwise Also, it mousy decided that change should be made in the language of the Susan B. Anthony Federal suffrage amendments
 P. Sunless, to make concessions to the Southern opposition to colored women voting the board afore said should deem amending it in conformity suitable strategy.
 Thus, it will be seen are all of womans rights preserved and nothing conceded.
 P S.-Except few.

Artists usually picture innocence in the nude. Maybe, the girls wear as little as they do to show how in nocent they are.
 When a fellow is going to propose to a girl he never knows it until after every member of her family knows it.
 A married woman likes to read passionate pup serial in maga- zine because it shows her how good, sweet, faithful wives always did have to put up with ornery men.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, April 2-The general
strike is spreading through Ger
many and clashes between the work
ers and troops in various cities have
resulted in casualties.
This is taken as an indication that
the growing uprisings are inspired
by the Spartacans who are believed
to have employed the disturbances
as a means of weakening the gov
ernment preparatory to declaring
the third revolution
The government has proclaimed
state of seige in all Rhineland. Fifty
thousand miners are striking. The
situation endangers the food and
coal supply Of the country and may
affect the payment to the allies of
the maintenance OF the armies OF
occupation.
The metal workers threaten to
strike in Frankfort. Mobs have
stormed the food shops. Three were
killed and many wounded by rifle
and machine gun fire. A sailor was
dragged from the police station and
lynched. Government troops in CON
troll of the city are expecting an
extensive outbreak and are prepar-
ing to ruthlessly deal with the re-
volters and suppress sthe uprising as
quickly as possible.
