It is unforturiatef that the Republican, party in Alaska when it narshaed it's forces sahd prevented Wickites from capturing it's organization in the recent primary election did not also nominate Re- publican for Delegate to Congress It elected regu- Republican and substantial citizen National Com mitteeman and it elected the same character Of Re- pubcans represent it at the National ConV Venlon If regular Republican of the character ability and standing O Johl C. Mcbride George Hazelet had filed for the Republican nomination fer Delegate to Congress he would have been nominated As it i2, because he the only to file, the who is making the Delegate Congress in the name the Republican party, is who supported regular Republican for Congress in his lifetime. He opposed Republican ticket in 1908 1910 and 1912 and in 1914 and 1916, when the Republicans refused nominate any one, he supported Judge Wickefsham as he had done against the Republicans in previous campaigns Dan Sutherland is not Republican be- he has always opposed the Republican Party
 in Alaska. He is Wickite purely and simply. He has served ill election after election one of the Wickereham campaign managers in opposition to the Republican party and Republican candidates He has been always and under all circumstances Wicker slams man Friday. He has declared time after time that Wickersham is the greatest west of the Mississippi River" If he should he elected to Con sress he would not represent the Republicans Of Alaska. He would take orders from Nickersham He would be in Congress Wickershama proxy He is Wickersham's candidate.
 Dan Sutherland is candidate for Delegate to Congress because Wickersham afraid himself More than year ago Wickersham knew his sun had set He knew that when he refused to cept the challenge of Delegate Grgsby to permit the people of Alaska to settle the election contest rather than to depend upon his belief that he could wiro pull judgment from Republican Congress. tOf course his belief sander on the Republicans ii Congress who have refused to play Wicke politics

Upon the minds of the most unscientific found and even spiritualistc impression impress sion that has been intensified by the purchase of $225,00O worth of the priceless stuff by the Legsla- ture of New York for experimental purposes.
 As matter of fact, the appeal which it makes is rather to the imagination than to the scientific faculties of the mind suggesting it does the bound less energies of nature and the limess possibilities for good which may lie in tiny particle of matter.

Experts

Art Johnson and Delos Garner were discussing the weird concOc tions men will drink today under the guise of liquor and both agreed that the old-time whiskey expert had lost his usefulness. To illustrate the keen perception of tho old-time whis key expert, DelOs told a story about man who had bought a barrel Of very fine whiskey. He invited two old Kentucky whiskey experts to his home to sample the goods. One of the experts took a drink and praised the whiskey but claimed there was an iron flavor about the stuff The other expert took drink and claim ed that it was fine whiskey, but that had a flavor of leather. The eX- perts argued and wrangeled for an hour, one sticking to his claim that the whiskey tasted of iron and the other maintaining that it tasted of leather The owner of the whHskey drew it off into bottles and then knocked the head out of the barrel At the bottom of the barrel he found tiny leather-topped carpet tack

UTILIZING THE AIRPLANE.

It having been demonstrated that operation of aircraft in this country is feasible the question next arises to what be derived from that method of transport aton. Captain Street and his associates sration what would have been realized under any other circumstances Many Alaskans have seen heavier than air machines operate where conditions were more favorable than those existing in Alaska but few dared hope to actual operation at home this summer The New York-to Nome flyers have proven that even with unknown winds to encounter, unpotted courses to be explored unknown landing places to be located, airplanes operated successfully
 The records they are making since entering Alaskan borders if maintained to Nome will be better than was made in more thieky settled communities and where it was possible 10 get up-to-the-minute meteorological data and charts. They will likewise serve as an impetus to aerial ventures that have been suggested several times during months.
 The Government could possibly find field for using number of planes in the Forestry Service in the Department of Agriculture Flying boats of a suitable type could be operated anywhere in South eastern Alaska Nothing conld be better adapted more suitable for carrying out a timber and water power survey all Alaskan National forests and even in territory covered by reservations. Such a method would be innovation in timber sur VeyinS. Several weeks ago flying boat used in making extensive surveys i'll the northern part of the province Of Quebec A timber expert making the survey declared that he obtained information regarding the timber and waterways the country which he had flown as a result of few hours air trip than he could have secured by years Of travel on foot. total of $50 miles was covered in 12k hours Of flying number of stops were made to complete reports of the country travelled over as well as secure more fuel.
 Similar journeys have been made elsewhere and the results have added to the conviction of lumber men that aircraft is extremely useful in the timber industry In the woods of northern Quebec alone this season. GOO miles have been explored in flying trips A complete camping outfit carried on these flying boats so that enforced stop causes discomfort

COX AND LEAGUE MULTIPLICATION.

w. J. Bryan's often repeated assertion that Gov Cox could not, if elected bring about ratification of the Peace Treaty with the League of Nations covenant because it is impossible that the Democratic majority in the Senate would contain a two thirds majority does not rest on secure foundation The record shows that the Senate as it is stued favors the League of Nations. It shows that at time twothrds majority. of the present Senate had unoffically agreed reservations that would have been satisfactory to the Administration supporters of the Treaty. The reservations upon which two-thirds of the Senators at time had practically agreed based upon written sugges- tions of former President Taft They introduced in the Senate by Senator Lodge, who thus assumed responsibility for them
 Senator Lodge withdrew the acceptable reserva- tions only after Senator Borah, representing the Bitter Ender' served notice their party leader that they would withdraw their support from the party organization in the Senate if he did not withdraw them. In other words, enemies of any sort of a League of Nations notified Senator Lodge that unless he would consent to the adoption of ervatons which would force the Administration sup porters against the ratification of the Treaty they would destroy the Republican majority in the Senate and leave that body without any of party control leadership.
 If Gov Cox should be elected it would signify that the people of the country favor the League of Nations--as more than 75 per cent of the present Senate favors itand it would undoubtedly thaj the reservations to the League Covenant would be prepared by it's friends who already are sufficiently y, mot by it's bitter end enemies who, Republicans Democrats, number less than twenty in the present Senate.
 Commenting upon this phase of the situation in his speech of acceptance, Gov. Cox said: The Democratic position the question: expressed in the platform is We advocate immediate ratification of the Treaty without reservations which would impair it's essential integrity, but do not op- pose the acceptance of any reservation mak- ing clearer specific the obligations of the United States to the League associates"
 The first duty of the administration clearly will be the ratification of the Treaty
 The matter should be approached without
 thought of the bitterness of the past The
 public verdict will have been rendered, and
 l confident that the friends world
 peace it will be promoted by the League, will have in numbers the Constitutional
 requisite to favorable Senatorial action. The
 captious may say that platform refer to reservation is and indefinite.
 It's meaning, in brief is that shall
 matter of good faith to associates and
 precaution against any misunderstood
 ing in the future The point is, that after
 the people shall have spoken, the League
 will be in the hands of it's friends in the Senate, and a safe index what they
 will do is supplied by what reservations they have proposed in the past.
