WHY NOT TELL THE TRUTH?

Mr. Rustgard in his Spirit of the Times" speech
said in 1910 the Democrats were given con
troll of both branches of Congress. That ended all
progressive legislation for Alaska
To misrepresent history is Rustgard habit. In
the first place the 1910 election did not give the
Democrats control OF the Senate. The Senate was
Republican until 1913 Then what shall we call
the Alaska Organic Act, which gave Alaska a Terri
torial legislature? 1t was passed by a Democratic
House. What shall we say of the circumstance that
the Democrats insisted upon that Act being far more
progressive than Delegate Wickersham wanted to
make it? What shall say of the circumstance
that Democratic Congressman wanted to make 1t yet
more liberal and Wickersham, to prevent it, warned
the House that if it made liberal it would
get through the Republican Senate Or be signed
by Republican President?
Then there the Alaska railroad bill! 1t was
passed in 1914 Was it the most progressive leg
islation enacted for the Territory? Did 1T not
bring to the Territory the City of Anchorage and
many. other prosperous Alaskan communities? Did it
not bring to the Territory more people than any
other piece of legislation passed for the Ter
ritory?
Why did Wickersham say in his 1912 and 1914
campaigns that he could get no Alaska legislation Oh
any sort until the Democrats carried the House OF
Representatives in 1910? Why did he complain that
the Republicans during the Taft administration were
opposed Alaska development?
The fact is that the Wilson administration con-
SANITY urged the passage OF legislation that would
Permit liberal leases to coal and oil lands and that
1t was the influence of the Pinchots, Lenroos and
others, of whom have ever been Democrats, who
prevented the leasing bill of 1914 from being more
progressive and more liberal.
A leasing bill that it hoped would result in
the opening of the Alaska coal lands was passed ir
1914 1t might have been made satisfactory If Alaska
Lad been represented in Washington while that
measure being considered in such manner as to
offset the influence in committee of Pinchot, Lenroot
and the others But Judge Wieaersham, Mr. Rustgards
uoss then Delegate from Alaska left Washington and
had not been there for two months when the measure
finally passed.
The coal and oil bills that finally passe'
administration measures, and they were admitted
to be 80 bs the Republican chairmen of the com
mttees which recommended their passage. The oil
bill was whipped into shape in 1918 when Delegate
Suzer present with the House Public Lands com
mittee during the six weeks of almost continuous
hearings when it being considered
Republican Senators and Congressman have never
claimed credit because their party had into
troll before these administration measures finally
adopted.
Why cannot Mr.. Rustgard tell the truth?

FINE CONCEPTION OF HONOR.

The action of President Charles Comskey OF the
Chicago American Baseball League team in paying
those of his players who were not involved in the
sell-out in the 1919 worlds championship series the
difference between what they got from those games
and what they would have received had they won the
series will lot restore confidence in the great
American sport. 1t will also add to the already
great popularity of the greatest among living Amer
lean baseball kings President Comskey is in the
baseball game a business. 1t has been his lifes
work and he has made deserved fortune in the
game However when he paid out $4,000 to players
whom he feels certain would have the worlds
championship and the additional money that goes to
winners had their team mates not thrown them down
he demonstrated that he wants to make his money
honestly and that he purposes to treat those of his
players who do their best for him fairly. The ten
players who got $500 each did their best to

made to get all to the polls on cleo
tion day. The prospects for the car
rying of the bond election are ex-
ceedingly favorable, and as the voters
become acquainted with the facts
many who voted against the bond is
sue of December are signifying
their intention of voting Eyes" on
Tuesday.
Mr.. Blowers, accompanied by Louis
H. Chazal, secretary of the Marion
County Board of Trade. made trip
yesterday to precincts in the northern
part of the county to get in touch with
the campaign chairmen in those pre-
cincts. All precincts visited were
found favorable to the issue and in
each instance it was found that many
who voted against the last issue would
vote for this. Mr.. Blowers intends to
make a trip every day this week to
the various precincts, keeping in touch
with the precinct chairmen. Every
citizen who is in favor of the bond
issue is expected to cooperate with
the campaign committee to the ex-
tent of giving the widest circulation
possible to the facts of the bond issue,
and is expected to get out the veters

ment of the conditions of the bond is

ORGANIZED SATURDAY

Saturday afternoon in the library
there was organized what will be
known as the Woman's Auxiliary of
the Marion County Hospital. About
twenty-five members were enrolled at
this meeting, but it is expected to

ficers were elected:
President, Mrs. j. H. Taylor; first
vice president, Mrs. Merrill; second
vice president, Miss Mary Marshall;
secretary, Miss Mary Mcdowell. and
treasurer, Miss Mary Burford.
The chief object of this organiza-
tion is to create a greater interest in
hospital work, such as girls entering
the nurses training course, and to Sc
cure more help for the needs of the
hospital. The first work that the aux
iliary will undertake just now will be
the making of night shirts for the
hospital, the supply having run very
short.
Mrs. T. l. Arnold and Miss Marshall
gave interesting talks on the value OF
this organization and it was decided
that regular meetings be held on the
second Saturday in each month.
Every girl and woman in Marion
county should be a member of this
auxiliary and by calling on Miss Mary
Mcdowell and paying her one dollar,
