JUNEAU AND POLITICS.

Because a telegram sent from unds- closed person in Washington to various Alaska news papers saying that Republican National Committee J. C. Mcbride had recommended Juneauites for appointment by the President the offices of Gov ernor, Surveyor General Collector of Customs, United States Marshal and District Attorney the Ketchikan Chronicle has declared Juneau and Juneauites in general.
 In the first place Juneauites have taken that telegram seriously, and in the second place it is cry to place blame any city for all that is done in the of politics. It has known here for several months that MT Mcbride has favored the ap- pointment Of worthy citizen of the Third Division to the Governorship and, by the way the Republican Club of Ketchkan endorsed the candidate for whom MT. Mcbride has been working. Further, the only action taken by considerable group Juneauites aside from the Juneau Republican Club, which en- dorsed Judge Wiekersham the Governorship has been to protest against the appointment of any one not a bona fde resident of Alaska-not Juneau--to the GovernorshipH
 As far as Juneau is concerned the real Juneau, her residents have been taking very little part in the contest for political offices They have been, usual giving their attention to business and the every day work of a busy community We sometimes think that few of the busy people or Juneau and perhaps, those of other sections of Alaska, take active part in political Many Juneauites by means all of them, have expressed their preferences for appointments various offices and they have let the matter at that of the needs of the hour in Alaska is for cooperation and active ;co-operation, sn public matters among the busy people of the Territory-those people who are engaged in business and the industries and working men who do not look upon politics merely as an op- portunity for personal aggrandzement They leave too much of the politics of the Territory to people who nave nothing else to do but to play the game
 MT Mcbride chosen to be Republican Ma tonal Committeeman by the disinterested element of 1i1in or capitalizing political influence This element of the population should remember that activity ought not to at the polls if their efforts are to avail and that the cooperation must continue if effective results are to be obtained, All those who hope to piont alrectly rom the game" of politics, those who desire to capitalize their participation in politics are active and will continue be so as long as there is life to the hope

CIVIL SERVICE REGULATION MODIFIED.

Fresldeht Harding has modified the order of President Wilson placing Postmasers at postofice: o1 the hrst second and third classes under the cass hed civil service regulations The order as originally made required the appointment of the applicant who passed the best examination in case he was person ot satisfactory character The modified order provides TOT the appointment of any of those passing first Seoohu or 'hlrd among those who take the examina- tion. It provides, however for the reappointment of those who were appointed as postmasters as tho result of civil service examinations
 The record shows that there have been more Republicans than Democrats appointed to be pos.- masters since the original order of President Wilson Neariy ohe-thlrd of those appointed claimed to be independent in politics

Right COmpulsion.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


 True liberty bows to the restrictions of laws as principle justified by the progressive wisdom of experience Societys safety and advancement depend on the laws compilations and prohibitions. Education and industry must be brought into closer relation, and to this end movement is under way to compel completion of high school courses, inclusive of vocational training Every pupil should have his chance to make good in lifes battle. Industrial problems never definitely be settled until a great percentage of American youth is re- qured to graduate from secondary schools, mentally and vocationally it
 The Director of the Institute for Public Service Of New York City states: Without compulsory edu- eaton laws 1t is doubtful if New York City would have 100000 children in school, where it now has nearly 1,000O00. The State steps in where society and children fail to their and socetys ter interests Although compulsion is lacking for high school attendance when children are 16 facts more compelling than law should be given grammar grade graduates and their parents"
 Considered from the business viewpoint, the high school is the shortest cut to larger sales prohts. The boy girl who has finished high school and has learned how to do something with his hands IS valuable asset to the country. To keep able young people from finishing high school is to cripple purchasing power creative and inventive power
