Mr.. Gompers says the trouble
with the Industrial Conference, re-
Gently deceased, was too many
lawyers. Big corporations had
their legal sleuths advising them.
You could hardly expect lawyers
that live on strife to work very
hard for peace.
That same Peter the Great could
have given Gompers a useful sug-
ygestion. When he visited the Lon
don law court, saw all the heads
with white wigs and was told that
they were lawyers, he said, why
so many layers to create trouble? !?

LICENSE TAX
 REVENUES SHOW

 Licenses

Showing decrease from last year of 33,54S64, the license revenue re port for the First Division for the year ending June 30, 1919 has been made by J. w Bell, Clerk of the Court. The decrease is caused chief Iy by the cutting off of the revenue from saloon licenses since January, 1918, when the Alaska bonedry law went into effect. The 1918 fiscal year income included liquor license taxes for the six months from 1917 to 1918
 The net revenue for licenses issued outside of incorporated towns and placed to the credit of the Alaska Fund, for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1919. is S103, ,9S161 The same for the year ending June 30, 1918, was S11S.41831. This shows a decrease from last year of $14,43670.
 The total revenues received in in corporated towns and paid to the treasurers of the various towns dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, are $40,426.51. For the year ending June 30. 1918, are $40, 0,426.51. Tor the year ending June 30, 1918. the revenue received in incorporated owns was s59,53S45, or $19,111.94 more than it was last year,

THE SAGE REMARKS OF RENER-
DY G. RANSOM AT THE SD
CONVENTION OF THE
ST. LUKES.

Before a throng Of several thousand
representatives of the Negro race in
the City Auditorium, Tuesday night,
August 10. Rev. Rcverdy c. Ransom
went straight to his mark in discuss
ing what he termed the "Overshad-
owing Issue in America Today the
Negro question. All the way from
the conditions that brought about the
civil war up through the administra-
tion OF President Mckinley to the
prcsnt day.
Mr. Ransom proved as he went
along that the Negro question is the
overshadowing issue at the bar Of
American public thought. The League
of Nations was laid before the aud
icncc in its relation to the welfare
Of America and he showed that to
be only secondary to the Ovcrshad-
owing Question. The industrial un-
rest now taking hold Of the entire
contincnt--thc labor situation, which
is largely a Negro qucStion---was dis
scctcd in all its qualifications as bear
ing on the future Of America.
In a plea for Justice for his people
he said, "Givc honor to whom honor
is due. Nobody but little man and
Il little woman will permit their
minds to be filled with jealousy.
Give to Il man what belongs to him
whether YOU like him or not" With
ccn&urc and criticism in his eye for
those who claim an improper position
as "lcadcrs' he continued:
"And with all Of the men among
