HICKMAN WITHDRAWS

The withdrawal of J. R. Heckman as candidate for the position of republican committeeman probably comes as a sur prise to even his closest friends as he had made no secret of his willingness to fill that place during the past few months. The ey- pressed such willingness to Fairbanks peO- pie during his visit here last summer and it Is not unreasonable to conclude that he made similar expressions at other points in which he visited during his tour of the territory.
 NIr. Heclman' "pressure of business y before him and which will be given by others to come after him. It may mean all that 1t implies or, as has been the ease often 1t can mean almost anything. That Mir. Heckman is busy man there is little doubt. He has substantial business inter ests in southeastern Alaska, but that there has been any sudden addition of volume to them Is not so well known, so that he should withdraw on account of business is surprising.
 u >ttlllS more iJlftllSlA)lc tO ItttSol lllttl the unexpected opposition which developed in Juneau to the extent of disrupting the republican club of that town has some con nection with his suddenly expressed deter mination to quit the race. Not that Mr., Heckman might have feared fight for the committeemanship on his own account, but he possibly feared that it might ex- tent to the whole territory, renewing the friction that has existed for years in Alaska republican ranks involving the regular re- publicans and that portion of the party that has been used for years as the tail to the Wickersham kite. Generally Hickman g withdrawal will be regretted by members of his own party, large majority of whom had counted on him to lead the organiza- tion out of the mire of the Wick morass.

interior Alaska. Nenana is primarily a camp, fostered by the government for the protection of its employees from vice and disease that has always heretofore existed in all frontier railway construction centers Economic reasons had no place in its foun- dation as a town, 1t filled no demand caus- ed by Alaskan development. We say these things without any intention of knocking and because they are scf-cvident. Having come into being, there is no more excuse nor Justification for Fairbanks knocking Ncnana than for Nenma to knock Fair banks. Common sense demands that both towns unite in working for the salvation of the territory. It is wasted energy for one town to try and take away something that the other has. A commercial club seek ing to justify its existence by such enter priSes is parasitic growth on honest busi- ness interests It's first duty is to go after new things. Promote harmony between towns instead of discord and factional at- ternesS.
 The situation in interior Alaska today requires the united effort of every inhabi- tant in securing remedies for it. And it cant be improved by changing mail route from Cordova-to-F Fairbanks to Seward to- Nenana The immediate hope of the in terior is it's gold industry The very eXis- tence of that industry is threatened by high costs of operations. Every ounce of energy possessed by the Nenana Commercial Club, other interests whether they be social, busi- ness, or political should be exerted toward securing some method of material relief from the pressure of high costs on the gold miner

CHANGING MAIL ROUTES

The proposal of the Nenana Conner cial Club to change the route now used to bring mail into Interior Alaska to Seward and the Broad Pass for next winter comes as no surprise to Fairbanks people who are perfectly familiar with similar efforts which have been made for the same pur- pose in the past. Its inclusion in a pro gram for the development of the interior IS also not surprising to those who have watched the methods of the club in the past.
 Fairbanks realizes that the days of the Fairbanks-C -Chitina mail route are number ed; that the time is coming when faster, surer and more efficient service can be had and when the time does come no one will welcome 1t more heartily than will Fair banks. If the present route Is unsatlsfac- tory to Nenana, it is much more so to Fair banks where many more interests are to be served and more people demanding mail. The creeks adjacent to this town draw thru the local office for more mail than Nenana itself, exclusive of the commission,
 
 cal postoffice will welcome the time when the time required for mail transportation can be cut to the shortest possible limit. But most of them doubt that it can be done next winter
 Nenana asserts that 1t can be brot in next winter in two days less time than 1t will take on the present route. The club, however, makes an unsupported assertion. It produces no figures to substantiate it's claim, probably for the reason that none are available. It might be possible for Nenana local mail to arrive earlier by that route; it wouldn't hurt the case to con- cede that 1t could. But that it would short en the time of delivery to the other sections of the interior by so much as single hour is something that has got to be proven. It Is fatuous reasoning that would conclude that the delivery of mail to Nenana a day, or even two days sooner than is now being done would add to the development of

OPINION AND FANCY
Or. Frank Crane. )

No, George, no. Oh, no. Not at all
 I don't want to hurt your feelings, nor seem to deny you any of your mahenable rights, nor to be harsh nor tyramical and all that, but-No.
 You have Not a. Right to your Opinion
 As 1 said before-No.
 You are mistaken. Along with about, should guess, 99 million 999 thousand, 992 out of our 100 million population. Only some of us understand.
 Your inalienabe Right is the Right to Inform Yourself. To Learn the Truth. Nobody has any Right to Keep the Truth locked up where you cant get at it, nor to blindfold you so you cant see it. But you haven't any right, even under the ar-Spangled Banner' and the Glori- ous Constitution, to think that Black is White.
 We are under great obligations to the 18th Century for the rise of the Scientific Method Which Is, briefly, to assert only when you know; and when you don't know, to keep still.
 A regular thinker, George, does not Imeddle much with Opinions on subjects of which he knows nothing He bows to the Tyranny of Facts.
 He knows he has no Right whatever to such Opinions as that Water is composed Iof Sodium and Chlorine, instead of Oxygen and Hydrogen, and that he may swallow a glass of Prussic acid and not be injured.
 You talk as if Belief were something under control of your will, that you can be heve fact or not, just as you can go to bed or sit up. But you re wrong. Belief, when its any good, is automatic. You haven t anything to do with making it, and you are not responsible for it; what you are re sponsible for is taking the pains to inform Iyoursef
 I heard you yesterday saying you be Heved in Reincarnatlon and Tn the remark able conclusions of Conan Doyle's book, and you told Father O'Rourke you did not be ieve in the Trinity, and you said at the party that you believed in the BolshevilI. I wish you would quit sprinkhng that word Believe around that way. It irritates me. For as matter of fact you neither Be- Ilieve nor Disbelieve any of the above men toned things. Because CD you don't know anything about them and CD you know no- body else knows, at least in your entourage
 What you mean is that you Fancy SC and so.
 Fancy IS the word, George, not Believe
 As for Fancy-ah! there you have your Iinalienable rights You can Fancy any ol thing you dunn please.
 But be little more chary of your Opinions.
