HIRAM JOHNSON'S DILEMMA.
(N. Y. Globe.

According to Senator Borah and Senator Kenyon Hiram Johnson will be the presiden- tial choice of the progressive republicans, who will propose him on a platform opposing "permanent entangling alliances with Flu rope," demanding the immediate return of all American troops in Russia and other foreign countries, calling for the restoration of free speech, free press and the right of peaceable assembage," and promising a ''labor pro- gram based on cooperation and greater in terest in the workers in the industries which their toll creates" With all but the first of these clauses any prOgresslVe-minded Ameri- can might easily agree, altho by the time the conventions meet next summer there may be no soldiers left to bring home from abroad and no neutral rights in peril. But, despite its glamourous phrasing, the first point does not necessarily commend itself to every pro- gressive-minded American, or perhaps even to most. If 1t means that we are not to keep faith with the League of Nations it offers the voter poor chance between party which is liberal at home, but narrow and reactionary in its foreign policy, and another party which is unprOgressiVe at home, but is not indifferent to our extrat territorial obligations. This can easily lead in the course of time, to the des- truCtiOn of the tWO-party system.
 The election next year will turn upon labor and the League, which, in a sense, are phases of the same problem of world democ- racy Hiram Johnson may become President If he takes the liberal view of both of them. He will not become President if he takes an ilberal view of either.

KEEP THE RECORD CT. EAR.

There has been some misunderstanding locally, and to an even larger degree in out-of- town quarters, about the ten million dollar cut made in the railroad appropriation by confer ence committees recently. Many people have been informed that the money was lost thru a technical defect in the bill.
 In an article dealing with the decreased appropriation the Nenana News said that the money was lost on a techniCality, possibly because congress had no authority to appro- priate more than was provided for in the original act. This opinion has been accepted as a statement of fact by many Alaskans.
 The Citizen has held that such authority was unnecessary, and it's stand is confirmed by report just received from Washington The following statement appearing in a Wash ington despatch bearing the date of June 25, as 1t appeared in the Seattle P.-l., brings out the point it is desired to make:
 ''Secretary Lane and the Alaskan En- gineering commission want to spend S12,OOO,- GOO this calendar year and S4,475,O ,OOO next year, which would finish the work Their only chance of success is to get the senate to appropriate S12,OOO,OOO in the sundry civil bill now, instead of the S2,OOO,OOO granted by the house* *
 Tt is believed that the house WiVnot strenuously oppose the advance to $12,OOO,- GOO. The house, under its rules, could not increase the item beyond authorization with out first getting law authorizing the in crease The senate is not under such q ha,1di-

BETTER MAIL, SERVICE.

The inquiries being received from the postal department regarding existing mail ser vice conditions and its request for construc- tive criticism for its bettermcnt opens a field for a campaign for securing a more adequate mail service for Interior Alaska which should not be overlooked. The ear of the department is attuned to catch our comments, and now is the time to make them.
 The department wants to hear from busi- ness men about how local interests are af- teCted by the present mail service. It desires to know if we are satisfied with what we now have, if the service is proving satisfactory, and if not what the defects are and will en- certain suggestions as to its bettermcnt.
 There isn't person in this section of the country who is not interested in this matter. The business men are especially concerned and their suggestions will carry weight. Alr. Ner- chant, take a few minutes off today and write a letter to ]. C. Rooms, First Assistant Post master General. Washington, D. C., about our mails. Tell him that you get some of your mail some of the time, and that some of it is somehow good, but most of 1t is direct loss to you and tell him how the existing situation can be remeded The plain facts make strong case for you He invites your and comment; meet him at least half way.

FAVOR PROFIT-SHARING.

The recent announcement that Henry Ford is soon to increase the minimum wage ot his employees to SI.5O per day is an indication that capital is making an honest effort to un- derstand Iabor's desire and at least give it a part of what it wants When Mr. Ford first started his fye-doar minimum and a profit sharing system, he was labeled "crank' and critics sai dhe coudnn't last long.
 It must be gratifying to him to see d large number of other manufacturers falling into line. Not long ago an announcement was made that the Eastman Kodak company had made a gift of six million dollars worth ot common stock for the benefit of the employees who were old in the point of service. This stock was not to be given outright to the men, but to be sold to them on easy payments at nominal value of about One-s1Xth of its actual market value, and the proceeds of the sale about one million dollars-tO be devoted to the employees welfare fund. Another fund of six million dollars worth of common stock is to be set aside for similar disposal to the newer employees i'll the future. Neither git will interfere with the annual "Wagc d1vl- dcnds," which already amount to a total of a million a year.
 Endcott, Johnson & Co.,, one of the larg- est shoe manufacturing houses in the World, recently announced that it would divide all the profits beyond a fixed percentage, share and share alike, between the common stockholders and the employees. The company, which is doing business of Sz 100000 annually, will pay / percent on preferred stock, 10 percent on common stock and the workers get 50 per cent on all further profits, payable either in cash or common stock. Any worker may buy preferred stock if he likes without affecting his share.
 These things are only straWs which indl- cate the way the wind is blowing They are but the beginning of a general movement along similar lines which is sure to be made by other American concerns Profit sharing in here to stay. Representation ot shopWork- CTS in shop management is in the air Elm plovees of the International Harvester com pany recently voted to accept plan of this kind John M. Wiys did so earlier in the year. Such actions are the most potent force in combating Bolshevism, INV Ism and other movements which advocate the overthrow O. existing government by violence. It is de- mocracy's way of adjusting itself to change conditions.

STRANGE BEDFELI,OWS.
(N. Y. Globe.)

By this time all the groups definitely op- posed to the peace treaty or to the League of Nations covenant, which is it's most important item, have shown their heads. They are:
 l. The old school kaiser-loving Germans.
 2. The German socialists.
 3. The Sim Fein group of Irish.
 A. The extreme radicals in all the allied countries, including in America the open and the covert friends of the Bolsheviki
 > The leaders of the republican party.
 It is just conceivable that such strangely assorted groups as these might find themselves united on basis of high moral conviction against a proposal which, tho supported by the unanimous opinion of the rest of mankind, would ultimately prove to be all that the re- publicans say the treaty is. But is such a thing likely?
 And if it were probable, which it is not, there is another aspect of the situation for the republicans to ponder. Whatever inter pretations the party has put on its principles from time to time, it has nevertheless always stood for law and order But none of the groups by the side of whom the party is today fighting stands for law and order. Some of them stand very distinctly for license and disorder.

 In other words there was no question as to the legality of the Sl2,OOO.OOO appropria- tion which was provided for by the senate Had the house republicans been so minded they could have agreed to the appropriation. It was cut not on a point of law but for reasons of alleged economy.
 While 1t may not seem to be matter Of special importance as to how we lost the money as long as it was lost it is just as well to keep the record clear and it does no harm for AIaSkans to know the wherefore in with Alaskan projects.

SOMMERS LOSES
 TO MARQUAM IN
 TEN MILE RACE
OLD OPPONENTS MEET AGAIN IN RACE AFTER ALMOST TWO YEARS ELAPSE ANOTHER RACE Is SCHEDULED FOR NEXT SUN DAY.

Din .rcnces in opinion produce auto races as well as horse races, cock lights and other sports too numerous to mention. Such a difference brot' about race last night at Exposition park between Bob Sommers, Territo- rial Mine Inspector and Labor Com missioner, and one Thomas A. Mar guam, attorney at law.
 The difference arises from the fact that Bob believes that he can beat Tom in any old race just as long as his machine functions properly, and Tom is equally as confident that any time ne runs against Bob the latter is going 10 take second money. This stat of mind has prevailed for at. feast two years, in fact since the race bug hit the Interior.
 Most Fairbanksans remember the race between these two men at EX- position park on Labor Day, 1917, when Bob, in the lead, responded to a lag and stopped his machine. thinking that the race was won. After he dis covered his mistake he took up the race again, but was unable to oyertake his opponent.
 Since that time there hasn't been an opportunity to try conclusions un- til last night. The principals have been ribbing up the contest since MT. Sommers arrived IasI Saturday night, and securing George Hainzinger's car yesterday evening Bob tried his luck again.
 The rac' was for ten miles, 20 laps around the track. NJ. MarQuam won, his time being 23 minutes 33 and l-5I seconds. Bobs time was 23 minutes 52 2-5 seconds. Charles Thompson was official timekeeper. Altho run without notice, about fifty people Were in the grandstand to watch the event.
 Bob took the lead in the second lap
  of the race was run. His machine frightened up at that time and Mr.. Marquam drew into the lead and was never headed.
 The result of the race leaves each man still convinced that he is the better race driver of the two Sol they are going to try it again, and if possible with stripped cars. The next race will be held Sunday after noon at the park, A ball game isl scheduled at 2:3O p, m Sunday for the benefit of the Memorial Gymnasium fund, and after the game the race will take place. Details of the latter will be announced later, including cars to be used, timekeepers and other race officials.

There have been practically no large fish caught at all by any of the fishermen and those which have been taken all bean net marks. Many of the men engaged in the industry believe that the pres ent situation is being caused by the cannery operations under way on the lower Yukon river
