GOVERNMENT HAS
 PLANS READY ID
 PUSH PULP WOOD

SEATTLE, May 2S.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Seattle Times states, in a wire received Tn this city today. that the department of agriculture has announced that the Government is now ready to enter into 30-year contracts for the use of Alaska pulp wood, with defi- mite maximum prices for the first ten years, the department fixing the price thereafter.
 The announcement says that there are now 100, 100000 cords of pulp wood available for disposal through the contract plans. Eastern stump age is selling at the present time at S4 per cord, while a recent circular of the department quoted spruce at 50 cents and hemlock at half that amount per cord.
 Canada's 50-year leases have hith- erto attracted paper makers, but it is believed the liberal terms offered by the department will result in ere ating interest in the Alaska forests
 The exports of pulp wood from Canada to the United States fol the eleven months ending with Feb, ruary were only 79O,S2s cords, as against 1,4ee,109 during the same period preceding. The value of the pulp and paper exports, however during the same period increased from s74,oOO,0O0 to s92,0o0,00o The decline of exports is the re suit of the embargo established by the Canadian government.

WORKERS REFUSE
 ID ACCEPT RULE
 RE SUNDAY WORK

There was general suspension of railroad work on the Nenana- Fairbanks today as a result of the issuance of the circular announcing the discontinuance of Sunday work in the Northern division. The men employed at the various camps along the line object to the proposed curtailment, and the majority of them left their jobs today, some of them coming to Nenana and some going to Fairbanks. It is estimated that nearly 50 quit, and reports received from the deserted camps indicate that there are just enough men left to stand watch over the camp property, pending an adjust ment of the trouble

 much time as it is during the course of season, due to weather condi- tions which frequently cause inter ruptions, ard they do not look with favor upon the proposal to further reduce the length of the season by eliminating Sunday work.
 It was not possible for The News to ascertain this afternoon whether or not any action had been taken by commission employees along the line south of Nenana, but the re ports received yesterday indicated that the circular was not at all popular.

PRIMARY FAILURE.

BOSTON, Mass, May 2S.-Gen- eral Wood, in a statement made in this city today, says that it is a question in his mind if the direct contact with the people afforded by the primaries is worth the expense involved. There is no question about the presidential primaries being ex- pensive, and he doubts if the re- suits obtained are better than the old system. where nobody knew how much was spent or where it was circulated through underground channels. He also doubts if the pri- mary is better than the state con- vention and the old system of state bosses.

SOME GEORGIA COMMENT ON CONVENTION.

lists, to which was added the out
spew from that lukewarm element
which did as little as it could for it's
country during the war and combin-
ed with that element which was as
open in its opposition to every war
measure as it dared give voice to. 1t
was the first opportunity the traitor
Gus Stacker who was muzzled by the
law while his country was at war had
opportunity for expression, and
when the lid blew off the escape of
foul gas was nauseating to every man
who thinks straight and loves his
state.
1t was to be expected that the
Smlth-W Watson forces would form a
combination to control the conven-
ton. They had much in common,
and neither had anything in common
with the Palmer men. The only thing
in doubt, was just how far the Smith
leaders would allow the Watson
crowd to commit them There is no
longer any doubt under this head.
The convention Tuesday was a
repetition of the Macon convention
of 1914, with the difference that this
time the Democratic party was open
ly repudiated and Democratic prin-
ciples thrown overheard, while the
Examinations of populism and radi-
calism were shamelessly Haunted.
Not only was the Democratic admin
istratiOn, the peace treaty and the
League of Nations repudiated, but
the repeal of all laws against enemy
aliens and sedition was urged, Thus
would Hardwick pave the way for the
release of his client Martens, and
thus would Watson have restrictions
removed that, once more his traitor
Gus diatribes might have free privi-
leges through the United States
mails.
Not once was the achievements of
the party in the last seven years en-
dorsed nor was there a word of con-
demnation of the men who have led
the party through the most trying
period of its existence and fought for
its principles. On the contrary, all
attempts at party endorsement were
jeered and hooted down.
No, it was in no sense a Demo
cratic gathering.
Of course, the Palmer delegation
did what it could to save the state
the shame Watson and his follow
ing would bring upon it's loyal peo-
pie. A Democratic delegation, voic-
ing Democratic principles and rep
resenting the loyal people of Geor-
gia will go to San Francisco. If the
loyal Democrats of the country con-
troll the national convention, the
Democratic delegation from Georgia
will be seated. If the disloyal ele
ment controls, no true Georgia Dem
ocrat will want to take any part
therein.

THE STATE CONVENTION.
ATLANTA JOurnaD
NNIIdIUd JOuI HdIT
THE Presidential Preference Co


THE Presidential Preference Con-
vention held in Atlant. on Tues
day was organized in accordance with
Democratic precedent and proceeded
upon the principle of majority rule.
Not seeing fit to surrender its right
of self government and independent
thought to the State Democratic Elk
it ignored "Rule Ten" as any con-
vention acting under the plan of ma
jority control would have done re-
CARELESS of the particular issues and
individuals concerned. Whether one
liked or disliked the men composing
this convention, whether one APP
proves or disapproves the personnel
of its selection of delegates and of a
national committeeman, whether one
sanctions or condemns it's resOlu-
tions regarding national affairs, one
must admit that in organization and
procedure it was altogether within
the party's law and that, therefore,
it's choice of delegates to San Fran
cisco is incontestably the mandate of
the Democratic party of Georgia.
The Journal regrets certain omis-
sions in the resolutions touching ma
tional issues. For our own part, we
have stood from the beginning and
still stand full-heartedly for a
League of Nations, believing that
only by some such co-working of the
worlds moral and material forces
came a stable peace and information
al justice be secured. We were for
the league just as the President origi-
nally submitted it, until all the evil
dence and all the logic of events con-
WINGED US that without reservations
the covenant could never obtain a
ratifying majority in the senate,
| Then did The Journal, along with the
great majority of the staunch friends
of the league idea, plead for the ac-
ceptance of reservations, even the
so-called Lodge reservations, as the
one means of saving the whole benef-
icent plan from rejection. And the
| treaty would have been ratified long
ere this, we are convinced, had it
not been for obstinate refusal to
yield a point in order to gain prin-
ciple Moreover, the convention
might we'll have voiced approval of
the great constructive record of the
Democratic administration, record
never surpassed and rarely equalled
in American annals, and have re-
ioiced in the administration S magni-
ticent work for the winning of the
World War.
1t was hoped, and rightly so, that
way could be found to place due
proportion of Palmer men IN the del
egation to San Francisco. The places
were open to them. But when the
convention leader of the Smith
forces proposed that each of the
three candidates be given represent
alton among the national delegates
in proportion to their respective
strength in county unit votes, the
offer was rejected by the Palmer
leaders, who contended for tbs en-
tire delegation under Rule Ten 1t
is regrettable, we say, that way
could not have been devised for plac-
ing a due number of Palmer sup
porters on the delegation. Yet, how
could this have been done when the
Palmer group refused the places Of
fered them?
