LEAGUE COUNCIL
APPROVES PLAN.
COURT JUSTICE.
Hague Draft With Changes in
Jurisdiction Provision is
Basis of Plan
ROOT IDEAS EMBRACED
Both Parties to Dispute Must Be
Willing To Bring Their
Case Into Court

Brussels, Oct. 26.-The council of
the League of Nations approved today
the plan for a permanent court of in
ternational justice as adopted by The
Hague committee of jurists with the
exception of the provision for obliga-
tory jurisdiction and some minor mat
ters.
Those parts of the plan generally
attributed to Elihu Root, the former
American secretary of state, were ac-
cepted in their entirety.
The council declared that it could
not recommend to the assembly of the
league a plan going farther than the
covenant Of the League of Nations
which provides that both parties to
a dispute must give their consent in
order to bring their case into courts.
The question of the compulsory ad-
herence of a defending nation will,
however. be submitted for study to all
the legal associations including the
American Institute for International
Law along with other points that may
come up, as suggested by Mr.. Root
The opinions of the associations will
be asked with regard to the holdings
of another international law confer
ence.
The decisions of the court will not
bind nations not participating or par
ties to a case and, they will not con7
stitute psecedents
The language used by the court will
depend upon the choice of the parties
at issue, but French and English have
been recommended as the official

A MANDATORY LAW

Because of the action of the sec retary of labor in making futile the arrests of anarchistic and revolution ary aliens for deportation, the Repub- lican congress during the recent ses- sion so amended the deportation law as to leave no doubt as to it's intent These aliens are here only because of our good grace and the courtesy of the United States" says Representa- tive Albert Johnson, chairman of the committee on immigration and natur- alization. Some government officials think our present laws do not reach these aliens. This bill will reach them and they are welcome here no longer. Not only is the bill necessary be- cause many of these alien reds are now in the United States but because many thousands are at the ports of the world seeking passage to the United States to do propaganda work for world revolution"

FARMERS' COLLECTIVE BARGAIN.
 ING

Farmers have been gi~en the right of collective bargaining by an enact ment of the recent session of the Re publican congress. According to the statement of Representative Halvor steenerson, of Minnesota, the new law will encourage food production and lower prices to the public. The only real opposition to the bill, he asserts, came from the large trusts and com pines who desired to continue to en- joy a monopoly in the purchase of farm products. Through the cooper ative associations, authorized under the provisions of the law, the farmer will be able to reach the consumer with his goods at low expense by eliminating the middleman, says Rep resentative Steenerson.

CAMPAIGN FOR AMERICANisM

An active campaign with American ism as it's keynote, as opposed to in- ternationalism, is being waged by the Republican Senatorial campaign com mittee, according to Senator Miles Poindexter, of Washington, the chair man of the committee. Senator Poin- dexter said the states in which the campaign is centering include Idaho, Utah, Oregon, California, Arizona, Col orado, Nevada, Maryland, and Ken. lucky "The great issue in the sen- atorial campaign especially is the is- sue of Americanism," Senator Poindex- ter stated. The maintenance of complete American sovereignty, the withdrawal of our military forces from Europe, the cooperation of the nation for the preservation of the peace of the world and the establishment of peace and commercial relations with
 Germany without compromising Amer ican independence are all peculiarly involved in the senatorial campaign. y

<EaEVEesgE..zEsssesss, sesss,ssesgss7:,- PICTURE BRIDES MAY ENTER UNITED STATES
 IF PASSPORTS SECURED

SEATTLE, Aug. 25.-While it is popularly supposed that after Sep tember 1 no Japanese picture or proxy brides will be admitted into the United States, the government has no remedy against those that might arrive after that date, so long as they are supplied with the proper passports from their own country, ac- cording to Immigration Commissioner Henry M. White.
 Early this year." said Commission CT White, ''the Japanese government issued 8 proclamation to the effect that after March 1 no passports to the United States would be granted proxy, brides. AS passports must be secured six months before emigrants depart, hence he would naturally con- clude that none of these women would arrive here after the first of September.
 But that is entirely up to Japan. Under the 'gentlemens agreement we have to admit wives, parents and children of Japanese who have es- tablished residence here, so long as they are supplied with passports and fulfill our immigration requirements"
 Six Japanese picture brides ar rived i'll Seattle on the liners Arabia Maru and ,Katori Maru They are at the immigration detention station where they will meet their husbands whom they have never seen.

THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We Think of the Things Others Think.

There are some things which it is worth while to forget. We all know people who are not half as smart as we are.
 The ultimate consumer is becom- ing consumed with anger The person with an over-developed bump of egotism is not well-balanced The most completely wasted time is thai spent in wishing for something. Who can name all the members of the: cabinet? How many can name ore?
 A mans face is an unfailing index to his disposition. Take a peep into the mirror.
 The rank and file often grates on the nerves of those seeking political preferment. Tombstons have gone up in price despite the fact that the demand is not very brisk. The greatest progress of the ages has been made by men who turned jeers into plaudits.
 A man raising a family of daugh- ters gets most of his false notions knocked out of him.
 The man who is always on the right side isn't doing anything to solve the problems of the day.
 It would be we'll if the laws on the statute books were as fully under. stood as the unwritten one
 The person who really gets the most out of life has something that can not be stolen or borrowed.
 Some folks who would rather have been born lucky than good looking haven't much trading stock.
 A senator tells us that congress does not understand the tariff ques tion. Some of us had surmised as much.
 A western legislature introduced 8 law against Sunday amusements. The bill was amended to leave out the ] comic supplement as not coming un der that head l Knowledge is power, some folks say and these same folks want Uncle Sam to build three or four floating armed palaces every year in order tC maintain our prestige.
 Just about the time we get oul mind made up that the theory of des cent of man from monkey is all fol derol, along comes some one whose actions prove it's truth.

A character who win be much missed in the Kootenay passed to his reward last week, when Fred Roo, of Elko, storekeeper and paragrapher, better known by his pen name of old Jim Thistlebeak," was found dead in his chair. His bright but always kindly humor made the "Elko Notes" always eagerly looked for by the readers of the various papers in which they occurred, and many bit of naive philosophy crept in among the news items. Those who knew him best speak as highly of his own personality as of his writings. .

SOME LITTLE OLD MAIL
 SERVICE IN NORTHLANE

A package was shipped by express from Cincinnati, to a man on Unimak Pass, to the westward, in September, 1917. The package came to Seward. The man received word the next year that the package was sent. Express Agent Mcdonald, in Seward wrote to the Unimak Pass man that there was no express service to the westward and if he would forward a certain sum of money the package would be sent by parcel post. The Unimak Pass man received the let ter from Mr. Mcdonald and forward ed the money in May of this year
 The money was received by MT. Mo Donald on the last trip of the mail boat which was August 12. The paskage goes forward on the Pulitzer and should reach Unimak Pass at least three years after it was sent from Cincinnati.-Seward Gateway.

STICK WITH ALASKA

Large corporations wishing to do business with the public have two methods of reaching the people whose patronage they wish to secure. One plan is to advertise extensively, send ing literature broadcast throughout the land. This is the plan adopted by mail order houses. But this plan has not been found as effective as the other, that of sending a personal representative to interview each pros pective customer Most all big mer- cantile and manufacturing compan- ies and corporations have their per sonal representatives in almost every country where there is any possibility of building up business or trade.
 Of late years some progressive cities and towns have, in addition to sending out large amounts of adver- Using matter, sent out one or more personal representa- tives to talk the advantages of their locality or dis trict. It works much the same as the mercantile business for the towns who have taken up these progressive methods have far outstripped the more conservative towns, not only in increase of business but in the in- crease of their population, and the establishment of industries. Many cities in the states have discarded the plan of electing a city council but instead choose a manager whose sole business is to look after the in terest of the town. And such towns and cities are running away from those clinging to the old plan of elect ing a political council whose interest party" rather than after the good of partyf" rather than after the good of the town.
 Anf now comes some of the pro- gressive men of the territory who are asking why Alaska cannot be run that way rather than by the bosses of the old political parties. The are discussing the advisa bility in fact the absolute necessity of getting down to business,' and doing something for the betterment of Alaska. Why not advertise Alaska in a business way as a big merchant would advertise his business? If it pays in one in stance why will it not pay in the other icstance? If big mercantile cor poration worth a million dollars finds it necessary to send ou travelling salesman,' to build up it's business, why shouldn't a big municipal cor poration build up it's business and it's population in the same way? What is a town but a business corporation or ganaicd for the purpose of securing prosperity for it's citizens?
 The people of Alaska are not doing the necessary amount of planning for the future, they are simply drifting with the tide Some have pulled for the shore,"' and gone back to the states but the braver ones are stick ing to the ship with firm determi- nation to guide her back into the cur rent of prosperity or go down with her into the Gulf of Despair.
