Wonder who will get the first big mine on the Chickamin and open up a route from Hyder-Hyder Miner.
 The officials of the Third division are to be commended for their prompt effort in suppressing radicalism~ in this city this week. A few convic- tions and our radicals will learn that the government and American citizens will not tolerate opinions inimical to good citizenship. If any man believes the I. w. w. did a good job by shoot ing down returned soldiers at Gen. tralia, now is good time for him to keep his beliefs to himself. Loyal Americans have lost patience with these kittle- e-cattle.-Valdez Miner
 Anchorage will form an "Ameri- can" organization. Plans to the eff feet are now under way by the local order of Elks, which is itself distinct ively an American order. Members of the loyal fraternal order wasted no time to acquiesce with the territorial movement, and at tonight's meeting will arrange the necessary details. The Elks have taken the initiative in this Alaskan movement, promulgated at Juneau, not because there is any apparent danger of the red menace locally, but because such action is In keeping with the spirit and traditions of the order which is ever among the foremost to guard the nations soy ereignty.-AnChOrag Times.
 The local Alaska Labor Union says it is not an I. w. w. organization We do not doubt that is technically true. But people do not speak of l. w. Wism in technical language. It is not the I. w. w. organization that is referred to in discussion, but the I. w. w. principles. The Alaska La nor Union here, since coming under the control of strike promoters, has circulated the Forge and the Indus trial Worker, and it has performed very much like we would expect a regular I. w. w. organization that was boring from within" to act. By this statement we do not mean that all the members of the local Alaska La Dor Union believe in l. w. W.ism We do not know We do know that people who have advocated I. w Wism have been speaking for the union, and they are still, apparently holding the reins.-Juneau Empire.

HAS PRAISE FOR 18Th
Premier CIemcnceau Writes Letter to
Missouri Troops.

Junction City, March 27.-The 35th
division has received a letter of thanks
from Premier Clemenceau, of France,
for its contributions to a fund to be
spent on a Christmas feast for widows
and orphans of France.
81 have been informed" says the
premier, ''of the splendid thoroness
demonstrated by the American 35th
division, on the initiative of General
Traub, in distributing among the wild
ows and orphans of the war in the
different war zones where this large
unit has been stationed since its ar
rival in France, the sum of a collec-
ton made among its officers and SOL
diers on the occasion of the feast of
Christmas.
II know, moreover. that this action
of affectionate liberality is not isola ted
and that the feast of Christmas was
the occasion for the whole American
army spontaneously to manifest its
friendship and generosity toward our
people.
I'm expressing my personal thanks
to you 1 wish that you would be my
interpreter to the American officers
and soldiers for the sincere gratitude
of our people upon this sentiment of
cordial solidari

the new walks and drives-bad as we
need them"
OF course a saving of a few hun
dred dollars in the use of the improve
ment fund might enable the building
of a few new walks. Such policies
have been followed in former years
without protest or objection To be
sure it is not in keeping with the let
ter of the appropriation measure. But
it might be a life saver to some citi-
zen who is in constant danger of
drowning and always goes home with
his shoes filled with water when a
rain visits Topeka And possibly pub
lie policy is not restricted to the most
rigid Interpretation of the law.
Up to Executive Council.
Certainly no one would mention the
matter to the state executive council.
They have no money in their contin-
gent fund for new walks. The legis-
lature turned the matter down flat.
But sometimes it is a member of the
executive council whose feet are wet
after a hard rain. Often it is state
house employe who goes home with a
bly, and inaudibly when they tried
in vain to find safe passage over the
walks and drives during a freshet.
And only in the policy of the great
est good to the greatest people will
someone be moved to slip just little
beyond the strict word of the law. If
you live in Topeka or visit Topeka,
your prayer will go up that the eXecu-
tive council sees the light that didn I
disturb a legislature which came to
town to make laws for the pee-pul.
