For a short while there was some hope
OF a steady market. There was a demand
from the professional element, but when
satisfied there was no further support. as
the public have apparently again lost
faith in the market and support from
-&Sis source was insignificant.
At the close. the market again has that
uncertain appearance, and there is moth
ing to indicate that we are approaching
the turning point. We have had during
this great decline several distinct periods
Of support and improvement only to be
followed again by a new wave Of liquida-
ton and new low prices.
The great trouble is that business
throughout the country has been fear
fully upset. Our entire Industrial sys-
TEN has been disorganized and while
there are many hopeful expressions as to
the outlook for the coming year, there is
certainly nothing at this time to indi-
cate a change.
We feel that on technical grounds We
may have occasional rallies, but we can
see nothing at this time to Justify the
hope of any permanent improvement for
the immediate future.

Spaan refused to state today why the
afidavits were filed or by whose order.
IL was learned from other sources that
the afYidavits were flied on the order OF
Adams. and that some of the higher
ups" Of the political machine which is
behind the open pool selling and gam

which resulted from one of a series OF
raids.
1t had been framed in the prosecutor 5
office yesterday morning, according TO
the statement Of Hartman, to permit his
two clients, Dold and Weeks, to plead
guilty TO pool selling and be fined $40
and costs.

This was done with the consent and
knowledge OF Sergeant Helm and Deputy
Prosecutor Spaan, but Judge Pritchar,l
evidently thought the Judge Of the City
Court should have something 10 say
about the cases supposed to be tried n
bis court and he added ten days in jail
to the fine, which had been suggested
n Hartman's statement 10 the court at
the time the plea OF guilty was entered.
Then there was a hurried attempt to
withdraw the plea Of guilty, which tho
court refused to permit, and this was
followed by a demand that the court fix
an appeal bond This was done and an
appeal was taken.
That appeal violated the agreement
made in the prosecutors office" and
therefore new aIidavits have been is

THE PIONEERS HOME

Seems as though we are getting the Pioneers Home pretty plenty these days. Saturday We printed the edi- torial of the Juneau Empire, writ ten to prove that the home is not in politics but showing in every line that it is Today we print the request of the Juneau Capital that We help them advertise the new newspaper venture there by soliciting subscrip- tions to buy an auto for the Pioneers n the home.
 It is silly of the Empire to try to pretend that the home is not in poli- ties, when the gift of it's management is entirely in the hands of the poli- tieian who happens to be governor of Alaska at that time. The Empire says that the home has only had two managers, and that both of them are good men-Shoup and Morton. Then why was Shoup thrown out to make a place for Morton? Simply because the Democrats held the governorship and wanted to give the place to a Democrat.
 In contending that Morton is in no sense a politician, and in naming the positions he filled before he was giv- the management of the home (the positions of twice chief clerk of the territorial house, an official in the marshal's office as a jailor and a deputy marshall why doesn't the Empire tell of something else Nor ton has been in Alaska, besides a political appointee?
 And, take it from us, we are not going to help the Juneau Capital ad- vertise itself at the expense of the aged pioneers in the home until we have at lease heard from some other source than the Capital that the Pio- meers want an automobile or would get to ride in it after it was bought and sent to the home. This popular demand" the Capital claims to be working in response to was never heard of in this neck of woods until this telegram came, and no pioneer here knows that it exists. The ter ritory is running the Pioneers Home and the Igloos are not consulted as to how it shall be run-it is a poli- tica1 matter. If the Pioneers in the home need anything, there is nothing that they could possibly need that the Igloos wouldn't see that they get if they would put the matter up to their home Igloo. But the Pioneers need no newspaper to tell them their whole duty toward their brother pio- neers, and as pioneer, the writer isn't going to fall into this error.- Fairbanks News-Miner

By the way if Colonel Bryan really believes, as he so often alleges, in the rule of majorities, why didn't he let the majority rule at the Baltimore convention in 1912 when it went for Champ Clark and the Colonel was enable to put over Woodrow Wilson only because of the existence of the two-thirds rule?

MEXICO, TOO, TIRES OF THE NEW
 BLEED FEM

The present upheavel in Mexico is
 due to popular revolt against which the Wilson administration, in it's sup port of the Carranza regime, has help ed to fasten upon the people of our lneighboring republic.
 The Wilson administration used the
 military and naval forces of the United States to turn Huerta out and to put Carranza in This service has been recognized by the Carranza ad- iministration by the wholesale confis- cation of American property and the ruthless taking of American life to which the Wilson administration has been consistently indifferent.
 We have been told that Mexico was in the enjoyment of the new free domn through the operations of the socialstic constitution under the Car ranza administration. But the new Mexican constitution has been inter- preted only as a means of conferring autocratic personal power, on the governments chief executive, where in, of course, Carranza has perhaps only been emulating a distinguished personal example.
 The most recent manifestation of this autocracy camouflaged under the eloquent phrases of democracy, is the effort of Carranza to dictate the pres identiaI successorship. New freedom elections in Mexico seem to be con- ducted on the true Democratic Mis- sissippi and South Carolina pattern, nobody voting but those whose bal l lots are cast in accordance with the l desires of the coterie in power. As pirants to the office not favored by | the CarranZa regime have been made 1 military prisoners.
 Even in Mexico the scheme of the new freedom doesn't seem to work | smoothly, and consequently the south ! ern republic is again in the throes of | a revolution. .
 The movement to fasten autocratic | socialist on the people doesn't seem to | be working much better in Mexico | than it is in the United States. But l in this country free elections are still | held in all that part of the country | that is not dominated absolutely by the Democratic machine; in other words outside the Solid South; and therefore peaceful revolution will ] come here in the orderly American way at the polls in November.
 The people of Mexico have paid l heavily for the "watchfull waiting" and wobbling of the Wilson admins tration. The loss has not been con- fined to the Americans who have been so basely abandoned, in disre- gard of American principles and tra- ditions, by the party leadership now in power in the United States.
 We have been told that American rights and interests had been aban- doned in the interests of the Mexi- can people, but the Mexican people do not seem to appreciate the new freedom that has thus been bestowed upon them And they seem to be heartily anxious to get rid of the new demagogism and the new despotism camouflaged under the lofty phrases of the new freed om.

We hear much these days of the Great Unrest All bodies are restless,
 social, political and industrial The latest. and most intfmate-and the one with which this article is concerned i is domestic. Long before the war the ! servant problem occupied the center or the stage in every household where the members were dependent or thought they were on domestic help. Since that universal cataclysm was visited upon us and the Marys and Gerdas who had been trained to do our tidding found other avenes for the exercise of their powerS-along with shorter hours and greater freedom----the problem has assumed the aspects of tragedy Scientists tell us that we are living in the mechanical era. Our factories long since adopted the machinery and tools which will save the greatest amount of finished product at the same time. Yet it is only quite re- gently, decade at the most, that the necessity for conservation of human energy has been Altering into our households. Gerda's biceps have been sufficient. Gerda's hours long enough. Our grandma hers way has seemed the good old fashioned way that brought the best results. Things ran along pretty smoothly. We didn't give the matter much thought Didn't real ize that Force as being symbolized in woman was being thrown away.
 But the Great Unrest has at last reached our Kitchens. There were only rumblings at first. Domestic help became scarce and inefficient We grumbled at that. Young housekcep- CTS made it the topic of conversation at luncheons and waits between acts at matinees.
 Older heads got together with their sewing and sigher for the good old days when servants knew their place. And at this first tightening up we scurried into apartments, thereby lessening, as We thought, the burden of housework, and considered the matter at an end. But we had only carried the mountain to Mohammed. 1t was still a moun- tain - still a weight to be reckoned with.
 Then the war came and our worst domestic fears were realized. Only the halt, the lame and the blind, and a few of the faithful remained at their posts beside our kitchen stoves. And at a time when every woman in America was busiest doing her part to help win the war the mistress was forced to turn maid, to realize that Gerda's biceps had meant much to the comfort of her household and the saving of her own time.
 The it was that force as symbolized in woman began shifting to mechan- ical power.
 Today the situation is cried from the headlines of our daily papers. Maids demand 10 hours. 51. days" House wives expected to agree because of help shortage" It is screamed at us from the pages of our magazines. Energy in the kitchen" Three of us and electricity" How we eleminated the help problem We run across it in the labor journals. Domestic workers organize
 The ten hour day seems to be the paramount demand. The immigra- tion bureaus tell us that the Swedish and Norwegian maids are returning in great numbers to their native shores So the problem of a greatly shortened working day~ for Gerda or no Gerda

at all confronts us. The situation seems tense The question before the housewife apears to be: How to ac- complish in 10 hours what was for merIy crowded into II or Is. Or how to dispense with Gerda's help en- tirely and have any time left for the myriad and necessary things which go to make up her social life2
 By electricity. Mechanical force' The same as factories do. Why should our household work drag out the day to the frazzlement of everybody con- cerned when by simple twist of the wrist work much more difficult and productive is being turned out in our big factories every day?
 There is no place in the scheffe of things for man or woman power ex- cept to control the energies open to us. And so much energy is open to us; so many labor saving devices have been tried and proven for the kitchen. for the laundry, for the cleaning of the house.
 Their tale is legion. The modern coal range progepitor It is a thing Of simplicity, of utility and kind in it's readiness to save in that labor which has come closest to drudgery in days gone by. for the days when man worked from sun to sun and woman $ work was never done have been s;ib- merged in the annals of history along With the hand churn and the loom.
 We may not hitch our wagon to n star, but we may. and do harness en- ersy to our kitchens in the simple laoor saving devices which reduce houseWork 10 its native nothingness.
