OUR WARRIOR CLASS

With Judge Wickersham charging all kinds of fraud in the election of Charles A. Sulzer as delegate in the contest between he and George B. Grigsby; a threatened Bolsheviki up rising worrying officials of the state department, and different Alaskans calling each other liars in the steam ship hearings, there is regular Alas kan three-ringed circus on just at present at the capital of the nation. We sometimes think that the law makers of the nation would be rather would annex Alaska, so that they would not be bothered so much It is dull day in congress when some voluntary delegate from either below or above the Arctic circle, does not blow in and want a concession to raise ice worms at Childs glacier or to get lease on the North pole to raise musk oxen for the musk. Every one is attempting to regulate Alaskan affairs or to get something out of con- gress for Alaska or something out of Alaska for congress.
 Each year the delegate contest is on and the contestants exchange pet names with each other.
 
 In view of all these facts and the samples of Alaskans that congress and official Washington has had an opDOr- tunity to examine, we are not sur prised that they wee prepared to be- heve that the territory was threatened with a Bolshevik uprising. It is is strange that they did not imagine the people were killing each other off in droves.
 For the edifcation of congress we might say that it is the fighting men who go to Washington. They either go there voluntarily or are sent to fight for something. The Iaw-abiding citizens stay at home and look after the development of the territory We don't want to be judged by our official and unofficial representatives. They are like the old warrior race used to be in Japan-just trained for fighting. Congress will agree with us in saying that they are effective fighters and usually get results when they go to Washington asking for something Douglas News.

An Ancient Will.

Velleius Blaesus, a man of consular
rank and remarkable for his i'm
mense wealth, in his last illness was
anxious to make ONE alterations in
his will. Regulus, who had lately en-
detvored to insinuate himself into his
good wishes, hoped to get something
from the new will, and, accordingly
addresses himself to his physicians
and conjures them to exert all their
skill to proleng the poor mans life
But after the will was made he
changes his character, revrering his
tone: "How long," says he to these
very same physicians. "do you intend
keeping this man in misery? Since
you cannot preserve his life, why do
you grudge him the happy release of
death?"
Blaesus dies, and, as if he had over
heard every word that Regulus had
said, has not left him one farthing.-

of Oklahoma, Missouri and Tennes-
see definitely swept into the Repub-
lican ranks by the party's crushing
victory, the Harding-Coolidge ticket
had 396 votes, where the Republican
state was victorious and the presi-
Dental ticket ahead.
The Republican landslide tonight
had given the Republicans 58 senate
seats as against 81 for the Democrats
with late returns undermining the
seat of Senator Bockham, Democrat,
Kentucky. His Republican oppon-
ent, Richard P Ernst, forged ahead
in nip and tuck fight for the only
senate fight left unsettled. Of the
"a senate contests, the Republicans
captured nine from the Democrats
and elected all fifteen of their can
didates.
Final returns from few congress
sional districts still were belated to-
night, some due to close race which
upset a few previous ennoun cements
and others from isolated sections.
With these missing, the Republican
roll in the house had climbed past

election was reported definitely to-

LIVING COST GOES DOWNWARD.
Government to Take Hands Off Lever
For q While.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Commod
prices have indicated such down.
ward trend that the department of
justice is largely content to let the
downward trend carry on by it's own
momentum: according to a state
ment tonight by Howard Figgs, spec
ial assistant in charge of the work
and who resigned effective November
Is.
''The department feels that its sane
policy of steady pressure is vindicat-
ed by the results achieved" Mr.. Figg
said, land announces that its action
will continue along this line, to get
business to readjust itself in accord
ance with popular necessity, but
avoiding endangering the underlying
sound prosperity of the nation.
1T is significant that practically
all items entering into the cost OF
living which are not controlled by the
Lever law have continued to advance
in price. Despite this fact, the gen
eral cost of living is declining be-
cause of the marked decrease in the
controlled items.
THE commodity market will contln-
ue to show a decline and it is only
with the full cooperation of all bus
mess that this decline may be stop
ped at a point that will guarantee
stability to business interests
