THE PRIMARY

The election of John c. Mcbride to be the leader
of the Republican party in Alaska by large
majority cannot fail be gratifying to the Substan-
ttal people of Alaska--and by substantial we mean
the permanent residents of Alaska, whether they be
business men or workingmen, prospectors or PROBES
sional men, engaged in mining or fishing. 1t means
that the resident Republican people of Alaska, those
who live Alaska, have one of their kinda sour
dough who has made good and is here to stay--to
represent them in the councils of one of the great
political parties.
Mr.. Mcbride has plurality that is well
passed 700 and it is likely to increase with addi-
tional returns.
Fortunately, in the Democratic party there was
no opposition a similar citizen for National Com
mteeman. Mr. Donohoe has been resident of
Alaska for than score of years, and he has
been, like Mr.. Mcbride, the Republican leader,
a hard working citizen who has thrived from his in
dustry and ability. Mr.. Mcbride, the Republican
leader a pioneer merchant, Mr.. Donohoe the re-
elected Democratic National Committeeman, is a
pioneer lawyer.
The election of George G. IIazelet, who is now
leading in the for Delegate to the Republican
National convention is gratifying to those who are
opposed to mud-slingng politics Mr.. iazelet is one
of the most substantial of Aaskas leading citizens
and worthy representative of his party.

Nothing is improbable any more. The war, re
scientific discoveries. inventions and the
antics of the politicians have taught the sober fact
Therefore, it is well give serious attention to the
seemingly grosa exaggeratiOn of the American Hotel
Mems Association found in the statement that within
ten years everybody will be living in hotels and
boarding houses. This they assert is mere mat
ter of evolution. The old dwelling house with the
adjoining garden plot is disappearing and the apart
ment house is taking its place Upon the heels of
the substitute is the fast-growing apartment hotel,
and the prophesed end is already in sight
Increased rentals, increased cost of maintaining
separate establishments, the vanishing of competent
servants and the growth of burglary are some OF
the causes for the transformation in the habits OF
living. Just it is inadvsable to discuss the
merits and weaknesses of the system and the
radical changes it will bring in community life.
These are both numerous and important, 1t is of
interest the corroboratve fact of the enor-
growth of apartment houses, some of them huge
affairs, astounding multiplication of hotels
of every size and class While the period allowed
by hotel keepers is altogether too brief STILL IL
the tendency continues, their prediction be ver
fled within the ife of the coming generation.

In summarizing the current market situation, the
bank says
