tinues the Seattle paper, that the election closed with libel suits, per sonal encounters and the usual col brings of a real election. Inci- dentally, word comes that all the losers will support the winners, and it is expected harmony will prevail.
 Personally, the average Alaskan politician is fairly decent fellow. But when 1t comes to going to the bat he places his eye on first base and, regardless of feelings, umpire or opposition, he is going to land. This makes it rather disagreeable for the candidates who like to train for an election at ping-pong table. Elections in the North are strenu- ous and the crowd playing the game are strenuous chaps.

BACKING THE GOVERNOR.

The persistent circulation of prop aganda in Alaska intended to pro. duce the impression that Governor Riggs has represented the people of Alaska as being comprised to a large extent of lawless people who are seeking to bring on an armed revo- lution in Alaska is in keeping with the recent retracted attacks on George c. Hazelet, declares the Alas ka (Juneau) Daily Empire.
 It is difficult to discuss these mis- representations without using Col. Roosevelt's short and ugly word Henry Clay's "lie direct"
 Governor Riggs not only never made any such misrepresentation, but he never said anything or in timated anything that is susceptible of any such interpretation. In fact. he has always, in the Territory and out of it, said directly the opposite.
 People who intimate that he has ever made any such statement, those who talk facetiously about the Riggs Rebellion" do not know what they talk about-OR THEY LIE. .~...<.. .@"

WILSON AND TURKEY.

The supreme council having tenta- lively partitioned Turkey to the sat isfaction of it's members and left the sultan in Constantinople, the French government asked President Wilson what he thought of the ar engagement Whether his reply is what was expected or not, and what ever its effect may be, there can be no doubt that it contains much good advice. In this instance, remarks the New York world, the detachment of the United States being empha- sized, he addresses Europe more as a counsellor than as an associate
 Not as nimble where matters of principle are concerned as some of the representatives of the old diplo- macy, MT. Wilson fails to under stand why the Ottoman government should be continued in Europe, es. pecially as one of the avowed ob. l jects of the war on the part of the Allies was to banish that interlope. to Asia.

Allies.
 Properly enough, the one thing upon which the President insists is that no change to be made in the former Ottoman empire shall place American citizens or the citizens of any other country in a less favor able situation than the citizens of countries parties to the treaty. The note as whole is evidently intend ed to remind the Allies of the de- sirability of just and lasting peace, which is an ideal seemingly lost to sight in the murky atmosphere of the Levant. -...~

MORE DANGEROUS THAN
 ANARCHY.

The fundamental principles of re. publican government are being at tackled from many different sides and by many different cults and classes of people, writes the editor of the Mining Congress Journal. Many, perhaps, of these do not req lize the consequences which neces- sarily grow from their teachings. These may be divided into two classes: anarchists and parlor-bol- shevists. In the first class are the open enemies of representative qov- ernment, who believe in and advo- cate direct action, who tolerate lawlessness as means of winning a strike and believe that the end always justifies the means. In the second class are those who count themselves as reformers, who are filled with imagined progressive ideas, who believe the country has outgrown the Constitution; who loudly prate about the popular will ]; who never attend a primary, but protest vehemently against caucus rule; who bolt their party because it is corrupt, but do nothing to re- form it; who do not believe in party responsibility, but hope through par Tor discussion to prevent the party boss from controlling nominations after surrendering and leglecting the only means of preventing his sue cess; who believe that all large for tunes were acquired by dishonest means; who believe that big busi- ness IS a menace to republican gov ernment. These people are not all wrong; many. if not all of them, are well-intentioned Some of them are ready to make and often do make many sacrifices to put in effect their ideas for the public good. But they have lost sight of the fundamentals of government. They believe that humanity can govern itself; that the only difference between a good cit izen and a bad citizen is one of environment, and that kindness is a remedy for evil tendencies; they would abolish the courts and have their policemen go unarmed They still glory in the downfall of Por- firio Diaz in spite of the bitter ex- perience through which Mexico has passed and of her present almost hopeless situation. They still re- joice in the failure of the Russian empire, notwithstanding the misery and suffering and starvation which has resulted from unstable govern ment They still refuse to profit by the practical experience of all man. kind. In consequence of their sub lime faith in a perfected humanity and the half-truths embodied in their theories they are more dan gerous to our Government than it's avowed and open enemies.

All relations are in- vited to the wedding feast, which often lasts for several days. or as long as friends continue to come to pay respects.
 The yorng wife is completely under the dominion of her mother-in.law, who has herself come through such an or deal and consequently understands all

RED CROSS LAYETTES TO RE GIVEN OUT

Mrs. John London, ex-ehairman Wom- ans work for Red Cross, announces thatg the layettes for the needy and destl- tute babies in eastern Europe have been cut and are now ready for distribution at Red Cross headquarters, 5l7 Jeffer- son ColMty Bank building. She asks all former workers in the Red Cross, and
 any women who are willing to help in this work, to come to headquarters on
 Wednesday and Friday of this week and
 get their materials
 Mrs Robert Jemison, Jr., and Mrs
 Brenton Fisk will give out material on these days. Headquarters will be open from 10 to 4:30. It is most urgent that
 the workers get their bundles as soon
 as possible, as storage space at head quarters is very limited.
 Forty dozen of these layettes nave been prepared, but as yet only aoout ten dozen have been taken. Mrs. Lon don strongly urges the workers who did such splendid work during the war to come forward now, so that the Jefferson county chapter may maintain it's won- derful record of service. The layettes are very easy to make and need not be returned until September S0 They are not subject to rigid inspection as during l the war.

reserves among themselves about fam
 fly affairs.
 Girls usually do not go to school and
 the lives of the women of the highest
 classes are completely idle. They can
 not get about much on their tiny feet
 and they cannot even sew or embroider
 on account of their wonderfully long
 finger nails for which some have sil-
 yer or gold caps for protection. There
 is now a law against binding the feet
 of girls which is not rigidly enforced The little Chinese ladies are He'd with pride and are very reserved when they pass in their jinrikishas through the streets, but their faces do not show the animation of the women who think and read.
 The Chinese are marvellous gardeners, producing in miniature the natural land- scape, with mountains, rivers and bridges and wonderful mazes. When
 the masses of flowers are in full bloom l a Chinese garden is a miracle of love- liness. Here the high-born lady may totter upon her small feet, and her sway | ing motion is admired and described in terms by the native poets.
 | Miss Britain has much to tell of the | students and the Christians who are breaking away from the old customs. | In the churches the young people sit on | opposite sides, but can see one another, and the pastor often acts as the go- | between. The larger feet of the Chris | tians are beginning to be admired and | the young people are proud that they
 are having more freedom for work and study.
 The dress of the Chinese girl, with it's i short, loose jacket and her hair so smooth and glossy, ornamented with l beautiful ornaments of pearl and silver | and gold and her picturesque parasol 1 compares not unfavorably with some of the peculiar arrangements of hair of western women and their fantastically shaped hats trimmed with feathers. inn l possible birds and strange flowers.

 extolls the desirabilty of the bride groom's family and ancestors to one family and the beauty and health and ability of the bride to the other. It is needless to say that he is not always to be trusted and often causes deep dis appointment. When the arrangements are completed the boys parents send>-a. sum of money to the parents of the girl to compensate them for the expense they have been to in rearing her. The engagement is then obligatory between the parents and it is not unusual for the girl to be sent for when she is about 10 years old to be reared by her future mother-in-law.
 If the prospective bride remains at her home for a while whenever the grooms parents decide it to be time for them to marry they send word through the middleman and also a sum of money to pay for her wedding trousseau Usually bride and groom have never even seen one another.
 The bride then sets out for her future home. She is attired in full red gown.
