Fairbanks CitiZen) The Citizens conception of Wickershams s attitude toward Alaska is entirely out by his present vilifcation of the secretary of the interior Franklin K. Lane Rule or ruin, and long has ne ruled from his political roost the government pay roll, has been his attitude from the beginning
 His rule is at an end While publicly he may d's- pue such state of affairs, privately he has not the slightest doubt that it exists It IS the reazatiol of this fact that lies behind his vicious attack upon Secretary Lane with the apparent intention of get ting even' before he removes himself from the Ter rory of Alaska to return to his former domlclle Tn Washington.

GOV. RIGGS ON AMER1cAN1zING MIGRANTS

Newspapers throughout the country concede that of the very best answers to the New fork llmes questonaire the Governors of the various American commonwealths. on the Americanizing of immigrants was that of Gov. Riggs.
 Gov. Riggs letter, which has been reproduced in many newspapers, is follows:
 'To the Editor of the New York Times:
 "I am in receipt of your request for few para graphs on the proposed Amercanizng of foreigners and illiter&tes4 take pleasure in forwarding you herewith a brief statement:
 For years have been blind. The United States is not the melting pot thought it. Unless assimate foreign born population and teach them American ideals the progress of the greatest of all republics will have passed the peak and will gradually descend until the zero is reached Like the old Romans the citizens of the United States have been getting lazy. Like the Romans have depended too much on foreign iliterates perform common labor, and unless make a united and determined effort to bring in migrants up to our level will be overwhelmed by ignorant hordes who wish only to tear down and destroy.
 Even here in far-away Alaska the Hun is working and plotting His propaganda is found in every camp. We must match propaganda with propaganda and wits Secretary Lane speak his great plans know stand soap box preaching and impressing the very people want to reach To win this war we had to adopt many Hunnish methods. We should now adopt the forum of the Hun and put thereon earnest and loyal men who shall preach the truth. Just cause the is over is that should re- sume Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. Rip slept for twenty years If we sleep for twenty years-Got help us

The reason why a small boy can wade around in rain puddle half way up to his knees and never get cough is because if you did it you would die of pneumonia.

 The recent war produced a flock of traitors, any one of whom would make Benedict Arnold look like George Washington, but they didn t get as much advertising out of il as Benedict.
 A good many married couples think that they are living together, when the fact is that they are mere ly putting up with each other. The Suffs claim that the time is coming when women will be so inde- pendent that they will refuse to take their husbands names when they marry. Maybe. But they won't forget to take anything else he happens to have.

 A Qiqua reader wonders why the American soldier is known as a 'doughboy" We have asked a lot )f experts, and we get these re- plies:
