LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
The Overall Attack on H. C. of L.

Editor, Times: There is an old tale
of traveller who, in passing along the
seacoast of Cyrenaica, was made sad
bv the pteous cries of a child who,
having yentured onto the quicksand,
was being sucked down to death. As
soon as the man reached the nearest
village, he purchased measure of seed
and, hurrying back, scattered it far out
over the dangerous tract, thinking that
when the grass sprang up it would
hide the treacherous spot.
In somewhat the same way, many
well meaning persons Of the present
day are enthusiastically DOMINIC over
alls and frocks to lower the price of
clothing, but have they thought much
more wisely than the traveller?
Just now the cost of an overall suit
is moderate, but let any appreeiable
number of people adopt this as their
customary uniform and the price will
be immediately equipped with pair
of wings This, of course, will mean
no great inconvenience to the small
company of clerks, bookkeepers and
officials who so iauntily disport them
selves in blue Jeans. one suit of which,
in their occupations, will hardly show
spot or wrinkle for some time. But
what of the man whose more strenuous
labor compels him to wear his garb of
present popularity, which, because of
his greater activity must often be re-
placed by a new one?
Let us not in following the leader
do at the outset that which will 90 far
toward defeating the object which we
are striving to attain.
Or as the poets might say;
No new blue overalls we need
Our beauty to enhance,
Wen sooner humble II. c. L.
With patches on our pants.

WHEN THE LAW CAME
TO ALASKA"

At the Nogales Theatre tomorrow
ahere will be presented one of the
most thrilling frontier dramas deal
ing with society in it's disqualification
and development from the pioneering
spirit LAS sent into the ;wilds in
advance of seatleo customs and sta
tutes, to carve out their cities and
commonwealth. 1t is founded up
on Rex Beach's celebrated novel "1'he
Spoilers" and deals with scenes and
incidents that occurred in that far off
land, yet part of the United States,
when the first territorial administ1a-
tion was established by At of Con-
gress.
Those sent to establish and admin
lister the law seemed as big a set Of
crooks as may be found anywhere.
They started for "spoils" at once,
and carried thing with a high hand
for a time. Then an exasperated
people arose in wrath, framed Wig
Garse tommittee that purged the
country of scalawags, sending a fed
eral Judge 10 Seattle in irons.
The film that will appear at the
Royal tomorrow deals with those re-
markable times, and is declared by
several who were at the time in Alas
ka, as remarkably accurate in define
Ion OF the stirring times.

Drinking a Glass
of Hot Water is
a Splendid Habit
Cleanse and sweeten the system each
morning and wash away
Poisonous, stagnant matter

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise
splitting headache, btuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can instead, both
look and feel as fresh as a daisy
always by washing abe poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot watetr each morning.
We should drink before breakfast
a glass of hot water with a teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it to
flush from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels abe previous days
indigestible waste, sour bile and poi
sonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweet
ening and purifying the entire alimen-
tary tract before eating more food.
The action of the limestone phos-
phatet and hot water on an empaiy
stomach is wonderfully invigorating.
1t cleans out all the sour fermenta-
tons, gases, waste and acidity and
gives one fine appetite for reak-
fast. A quarter pound of limesaone
phosphate cost very little at the drug
store, bat is enough to make anyone
who is bothered with biliousness, con-
situation, stomach trouble or rheuma-
tism an enthusiast on internal SAM
tation.

WON'T
DEN0UNCE TREATIES
Denies Congress Has Power to
Prescribe His Action by Sec
ton of Shipping Act.

Washington. Sept. 25. President
Wilson has declined to carry out the
mandate of Congress given in the Jones
Merchant Marine act of June 5, 1920,
which authorized and directed him TO
notify foreign governments within
ninety days that this country elected TO
terminate every treaty provision that
restricted the right of the United States
government to impose discriminatory
tonnage dues and discriminatory GUS
toms duties on imports
in refusing to carry out this particular
provision of the law the President denies
that Congress has any power under the
Federal Constitution to issue such di-
rections TO the President. Under the
terms of the Jones act the President
was directed TO serve this notice of ter
mination of treaty clauses upon foreign
nations not later than Sept. 8, 1920. No
such notice was served. even informally,
hv that date, and no notification has
since been given by the President, for
the stated reason that the President
does not intend TO be bound by the di-
rections contained in section "a of the
Jones act
In announcing the decision OF the
President late Yesterday afternoon Secre-
tary Of State Colby declared that the fact
that section 81 Of the law involved ele
ments of ilegality rendering that partic
ular section imperative need not affect
the validity and operation of the Jones
law as a whole, which is regarded by
the President as continuing great many
sound and enlightened provisions.
Ordinarily the announcement of the
Presidents decision would not have been
gwen in n press statement IN advance
Of the communication by the President
Of his views to Congress But, since
Congress will not meet IN regular ses-
sion until December, and il has been
generally understood since Sept. that
the notice required by the Jones act had
not been actually communicated to for
eign nations. it was deemed proper to
make formal announcement through the
press Of the Presidents final decision IN
the matter.
State Department officials regard Presl-
dent Wilson's act rs one of his greatest.
Secretary Colby's announcement enmpha-
sized this when IL declared that II the
President had pursued the course directed
hv Congress IL would have been wholly
irrcconciiable with the historical respect
which the United States has shown for
its international engagements and would
falsify every profession Of our belief m the
binding force and the reciprocal obligation
of treaties in general.
The giving of the notification To for
eign nations which the Jones law CON
templated would undoubtedly have con
fronted the American government, and
especially its diplomats, with very diff
fclllt and complex situation A careful
study of treaties in force between this
and foreign governments. made by the

State Department in its study OF Section
81 Of the Jones law, showed that prncti-
cally the whole body OF the important
treaties to which the United States was
a party would have been affected by any
attempt .of this government to tcrrni-
nate the particular provisions which
Congress desires to wipe out OF Amer
ican treaty obligations.
II WAS pointed out today that Mt tho
present jlncture Of world affairs il would
be difficult for the United States in the
absence of such action M President
Wilson has just taken respecting Section
"a Of the Jones act to exert the same i'm
fuencc and enjoy the same prestige as
it has III its stand for the sacrcdnees of
treaty obligations.
Here is the text OF the official announce
ment by Secretary Colby:
"The Department Of State has been
informed by the President that he docs
not deem the direction conta ned in Sec
ton 81 Of the so-called Merchant Marine
Act an exercise OF any Constitutional
power possessed by the Congress.
"Under the provisions OF the section
referred to- the President WAS directed
within ninety days after the act became
law to notify the several governments
with whom the United States had entered
into commercial treaties that this country
elected To terminate SO much of said trea-
ties as restricted the right Of the United
States to impose discriminating customs
duties on imports and discriminatory
tonnage dues, according as the carrier
vessels were domes tic or foreign, quite re-
gardless of the fact that these restrictions
are mutual, operating equally upon the
other governments which are parties To
the treaties, and quite regardless also Of
the further fact that the treaties contain
no provisions for their termination in the
manner contemplated by Congress.
"1he President, therefore, considers
it misleading TO speak of the 'termIna-
ton of the restrictive clauses of such
treaties. The action sought to be imposed
upon the Executive would amount TO
nothing less than the breach or violation
of said treaties, which are thirty-two in
number and cover every point OF contact
and mutual dependence which constitute
the modern relations between friendly
States. Such n course would be wholly
itreconcilable with the historical respect
which the United States has shown for its
international engagements and would
falsify every profession Of our belief IN
the binding force and the reciprocal OBJ
legation Of treaties j n general"

Washington, Sept. 25-Comparative
figures on silk production, based on the

Silk production in France this year
