 'I have met single person improved by this The eXtravagant are more eXtravagant the cranks are crankier the backbiters spiteful, the rich more frightened, the poor restless the clergy mere confused and the Government more cor rupt.

SUTHERLAND AND SECRET PLEDGES.

The action of Dan Sutherland in answering lot of questions concerning his position many matters of principle and policy at Anchorage and requesting that his answers be kept secret FOR THE REASON THAT THEY MIGHT HURT HIS CANDIDACY IN OTHER SECTIONS OF ALASKA AND WITH OTHER GROUPS OF VOTERS is a demonstration of MT. Suth- erlands conception of the political game. And the prompt and emphatic denuncation of secret pledges and agreements by Delegate Grigsby and his frank less in making public his position on all questions arise illustrate his conception of the duty of a candidate public office Mir Sutherland believes in
 getting votes in any way he can Grigsby believes giving the people the facts and to let them decide upon the merit of his position The contrast speaks fer itself.
 Secret agreements, bargains, pledges and promises are among the most objectionable features of ma chine" politics. They destructive of the public welfare. All of the people have right to know all that any applicant for position their servant stands they cast their votes No person is qualhe to represent all the people makes particular and secret pledges to part of them.

 However, it is pleasing to The Empire that it is not in favor with Mir Rustgard, but that it takes place with American traditions the Constitution, the temples Of fathers gods, the American courts and modern civilization for all of which MT Rustgard has expressed his contempt.
