0LOT|MERS HOLD
ANNUAL ELECTION;
MEMBERS ADDED

The annual election of officers
of Nenana Igloo, No. IT, Pioneers
of Alaska, took place at Union hall
last night, with a considerable num-
Der of oldtimers on hand to par
ticipate in the important proceed
ings. The election, however, was
a very tame affair, there being only
one candidate for each of the Of
fees, with the exception of one.
In the absence of contests. the sec
rotary did practically all the voting
for the igloo. Several of the of
ficers were elected to succeed them
selves.
In addition to the election Of
officers, several new names were
added to the membership roll, some
by transfer and others by initia-
ton. None were on hand, however,
to ride the igloo billy. C. NJ
Prince and Leo Rodrioue were elect
ed to membership, and Joe O'Con-
nor, Robert Benson. James Lee
meiuz. and William Burke were adj
mitted by transfer from other igloos.
| Martin Nash reported for the en-
itertainment committee that plans
were being formulated for La
dies Night, in connection with the
installation of officers, which will
take place at the first meeting of
the igloo in January.
/ Senator Dan Sutherland, who ar
rived in town from the coast on
Saturday, was among the visiting
members present, and made a short
talk regarding the change in the
pension law, made by the last legis-
lature. The change had been made,
he said, because Of certain abuses
which had developed under the old
law, but he expressed the belief that
the next legislature would put the
old law on the statutes again, as il
appears to be more acceptable than
the new one Under the existing
law, oldtimers receiving pension
money must first deed all their prop
erty, if they have any, to the Ter
ritory. Nearly every oldtiner. the
senator pointed out, has wildcat
claims which he is reluctant TO part
with.
The officers elected last night
were: Martin Nash. president;
George S. Smith, first vice-president;
John J. O'Brien. second vice-presi-
dent; ]. 4. Slippern. treasurer
Frank Rourke, secretary; Ed Will
Jams, chaplain; j A. Dyer. historian

have quit his job several days ago

his reason for leaving being that he

TEST OF THE CHARTER

THE preliminaries of the new mayor
! = atty campaign make it clear that the
passage of e modernized city charter by
no means relieves the average citizen of
his responsibilities as voter. The need
for general intelligent interest in the
affairs of the city is, indeed, greater now
than it has been at any previous election.
The campaign for the mayoralty cleo
, ton is being astutely planned by rival
groups, who know that any faction which
may gain an overwhelming representa-
ton in the smaller Council may feel rela
lively certain of retaining a permanent
grip on the city itself.
If the fine possibilities of the new
charter should serve to stimulate a new
and enlightened interest among voters
who usually drift with factional currents
Z the city may look forward to an era of
progressive government If bosses are
permitted to use all of their old methods
|, to elect obedient men and retain control
of restricted Council they might, natu-
rally enough, find the means of exploita-
tion easier than before and feel reason
. 10 rejoice because of a system under
which the work of control and direction
in Council would be simplified.

CONVICTED UNDER OLD LAW

TNHE Delaware county jury which has
l. convicted three radicals, charged
with conducting an unlawful meeting in
Chester on April 27, apparently discov-
cred that the old laws against melting to
violence were adequate to reach men ac-
cused of such crimes.
Evidence was offered to prove that the
accused had planned May day demon
stration to secure the release Of Mooney
and Debs and that if the demonstration
failed they planned to call men to arms
to overthrow the government, and that
they publicly advocated such course.
The jury believed the evidence and, on
instructions from the judge that there
was law enough to convict under it, they
found verdict of guilty. And the law
was necessarily the old law because the
acts of which the men were accused were
done two months prior to the passage of
the new anti-sedition law intended to
reach just such cases.

SEX EQUALITY

THERE was ball game in Ardmore
1 this week that, on the face of it,
Knocked spots out of the alleged equality
of the sexes.
A team of girls beat team of men by
a score of 43 to 5.
But wait
The men were required to bat and
catch with their left hands if they were
right-handed and with their right hands
if they were left-handed
Apart from the result of the game, the

(. Of the sexes, so far as baseball is con-
cerned.

THE COST

CURRENT official estimates which
~ show that the railroads of the country
must have at least $500,00O0 900 annually
above their present income, if they are to
operate on the old basis of efficiency
under government or private ownership,
may properly be regarded as early init
nations of the larger costs Of war
Every man, woman and child in the
United States must contribute a little
less than five dollars additional for the
maintenance of the railroads in the
future Such contributions will be made
directly or indirectly. They cannot be
avoided. 1t was an incredible waste of
energy and materials in Europe that
drove the costs of materials skyward.
The costs of labor and production fol-
lowed the upward trend naturally
enough Thus for many years to come,
after Liberty Loans are forgotten, in a
thousand unconsidered ways we shall
have to pay vastly, through increased
taxes and higher living costs, for the

crowd of neurotic diplomatists.

West Virgin
The Virginia
Debt

West Virginia has paid
The Virginia to Virginia $14 .000, 600
Debt in cash and bonds. 1t
has long been conceded
that the state born in war times should pay
some share of the DOminion's indebtedness
contracted when the two states were one,
and that view received official Endorsement
in recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court; the one point at issue was
the amount to be paid. The Mountain
State contended, and with some show of
reason, that little of the moneys had been
expepded north of the Allcghenies and that
an apportionment of the debt should be on
the basis of improvements rather than on
nopulation or area. But a decision having
been reached, the presumption is that at last
everybody is satisfied.
