 that you can think of-all these were stnt to the patients of the New Britain General Hospital for a cheery Thanks giving Day.
 From the kitchen to the wards there was sent forth a feeling of gladsome helpfulness that was spelled by the appetizing appearance of the food on the trays.
 It was remarked yesterday at the hospital that never before was there evident such a feeling of joy on the part of all those who provided for the well being of the patients, and this feeling seemed to indicate the sig nificance of the appeal-"Help Your Hospital-YouH Need H!' The spirit of that appeal was felt yesterday within the hospital, and the hope

THE GRIGSBY REPEAL BILL.

The bill introduced by Delegate Grissby' news o which appeared in The Empire last week, repeating tho Alaska Bone Dry Law and leaving in efect In Alaska as in most of the States the Volstead Act is not in conflict with the action of the people oi Alaska in voting dry The Alaska Legislature did rot submit any particular law to the people in 1916, It submitted simply the question of wet or dry, and the people by vote of two to one declared Tn favor of dry" On the strength of this vote, Judge Wickersham introduced in Congress and secured the passage of the Alaska Bone Dry Law. But the Vol stead Act is also dry" law. It was prepared D! the friends of prohibition and passed as prohibi- tion measure for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment which also was dry pre- pared by those who favor prohibition, submitted to the people dry measure and ratified by the States as fulfilling the desires of the prohibtiionsts
 There is some question, in fact to whether or not the Volstead Act did not in effect repeal the Alaska Bone Dry Law. It has been held by some of the learned of the Department of Justice that it did. Some, least, of the Juneau lawyers also believe that did so and they urged the point in the District Court at Juneau. Judge Jennings ruled that the Alaska Bone Dry Law was not voiced by the Volstead Act but in doing he admitted that he was doubtful about the and urged the attor neys who had raised the point to appeal from his decision to the Circuit Court of Appeals. They did so and the question is pending there It may be appealed from that court to the United States Su- prene Court. If this shall be resorted to it would take year two to get final decision on the point Of course if the Grgsby repeal should be passed by Congress it would settle that question.
 The chief difference between the Alaska Bone Dry Law and the Vostead Act is the latter permits the of alcohol and alcoholic liquor for medicinal mechanical and scientific purposes, while the formel does not allow the of alcoholic liquor for an, purpose and allows the of alcohol solely fol mechanical and scientific purposes.

POLITICIANS WRONGFULLY ACCUSED
 THIS TIME.

Mir. George B. Rice of Sitka thinks the character the Alaska brown bear has suffered from attacks of politicians and others acting for selfish reasons v It is not clear what selfish reasons politicians could unless it be that they realize people of the outposts with votes against the bear
 However, far The Empires experience is concerned the indictment against the brown bear from the people at the front The Empires information the subject in the beginning, came wholly from prospectors hunters, trappers and home stcaders has received letters and statements from the who have said they talked from experience. The records in the office of the Governor show the condition. The indictment is from Indians with out votes well from white people with them.
 If politicians have become interested in the brown bear for selfish reasons it has been to gain favor with the frontiersmen who have in contact with the animal Nearly every letter received by the Alaska Fish and Game Club from who live in the woods, has pronounced the brown bear to be a nuisance and menace. Many of them declare that he is dangerous to human life.
 No. The fight against the brown bear did not originate with the politicians. The fight started by the at the front, and where politicians have taken it up it has been at his instance and in the interest of the people.

Interior Endorses Parks.
(Nenana News. ]

It is pleasing indeed in these days of doubt and Encouragement to find some little recognition at Washington that indicates desire to help Alaska The appointment of George Parks, by Secretary Payne, member of the nter-departmental al committee, is such recognition and predict that Alaskans will not be slow in voicng their ap- proval.
 Mr. Parks, believe, is the only member of the committee who qualify Alaskan, and we know him sourdough of the highest order credit to the Norhand in which he has long resided albeit employe of the Federal Govern ment He knows the country intimately and his steady rise to the head of the department with which he has long been identified that he is capable And he, moreover is sufficiently young and energetic fo put real action into the work of the committee if his position chairman will give the opportunity.
 Alaska needs more appointments of that sort So lcng Washington continues to administer the af- tairs of the Territory, should at least have the advantage of intelligent appontments-appon ts by merit rather than pull Had we had more such appointments in the past, would be hearing ruch less of the evils of red tape in connection with our bureaucratic form of gov ernment.
