GIFTS YnIrn LIKE TO GIVE.

III RETOFORE at Christmas time you've been giving
81 hrisimas gifts that folks like to receive.
Why not change things about this year and now when
you are planning to do your shopping early arrange
give presents that you'd like to give instead Of worrying
about getting the sort OF things that folks will like to
-cceve.
1t would simplify matters greatly and furthermore
u might have very pleasing effect yourself and your
surroundings for the next year. Let's explain Just what
mean.
Instead OF giving Susie Soprano who goes to pieces on
'hc high every night music which she would
Ike 10 receive give her just what you'd like to give her
a Maxim silencer
Instead Of giving Cousin Harry comb for his beard
which he would like to receive, give him what you'd like
to present him witha safety and complete nstruc-
lions for looking like human being.
Instead Of giving Ncighbor John J. Borrower a box
OF cigars. give him what you'd like to give himthe
bill for the repairs which made on your lawn mower
after he had borrowed 1t every week during the summer
time.
And down the entire list you have made Of folks
TO whom you must give something

meeting his opponents in the open. He
has been satisfied to have his friends
abuse Senator Lodge and to insult the
Supporters Of saving reservations by i'm
plying that they are Indifferent to peace
preservation and opposed in a narrow
spirit to America doing her share in
creating better world.
The issue is too big a one to be sac
rinced 10 feed the vainglOry of any
man. Yet the most diligent inquiry
has failed to uncover any reason for the
Presidents course other than the one
that he is more interested In saving his
diminished prestige than in the fate of
the covenant.
The Tribune has steadily labored to-
bring about the ratification Of the
covenant. It's whole policy has been
directed to this end. But IL early saw
that fiat ratification without reserva-
tiOns was not only undesirable, but i'm
possible Fifteen Senators oppose entry
into the league of nations under any
circumstances. There would have been
more than the thirty-three who can
consttutionally reject a treaty if tn

Stripped Of all dlsguises, the Presi-
dents policy would place the entire
power Of decision in the executive de
pa tmcnt Against this is the demand
that the President and the national leg
islature. acting together as the Consti-
tuition enjOlns, shall share power The
President would have an authority
equal to that Of a kaiser or car. to

iccls Of the wa". Read the reserva-
tions ca efully and you will find that
probably all center in and proceed flom
the doctrine that a President, with re-
spect to foreign relations, shall not rule
alone.
Thus a domestic question Is before
us. With the reservations the Consti-
tuition will govern and coatrOl and With
out them it will not. The public was
slow to grasp this simple issue, but at

Another mo- tion prevailed that the secretary write to Judge c. D. Murane, Ma tional Republican committeeman TOT Alaska, and ask him to resign, since it was claimed his residence IS no" outside of Alaska, in order that new national committeeman may De named who resides within the Ter ritory. It was explained at the meet ing that there is no way to remove a national committeeman, even though he might take up residence else where. The secretary was also ln- structed to write to w. II. Hays chairman of the National Republican Committee, explaining the situation and asking for advice as to the pest method of appointing another Ma tional committeeman, i'll case or Judge Murane resigning.
 A motion prevailed that conven- tion be held one month prior 10 the primaries for the next Terr1- torial election in order to name the choice for a National committeeman, and to line up for placing Terri torial tickets in the field i'll eacn Division.

The south eastern Alaska Republican Associa- tion. which went out of existence, was oficered by Wickershamites.
