IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHOSE OK IS
 GORED

Not very long ago. 1t will be remembered the American socialists were passing resolu
 tions of fratema greeting to the comrades in Moscow. At that time, it is fair to say, the majority socialists of Russia were killing and cxpropriating the property of the non-socialist elements of Russia only. More recently the majority of socialists, and this is all bOlshe
 vism means,-has taken to prosecuting the minority socialists whose views are more akin to those of the American disciples of Karl Marx. That, of course, alters the principal of the thing, and so the American socialist party at its recent meeting in Detroit, passed reso- lutions in which repudiation of the Russian brethern is undertaken. There are many Am ericans, however, who are inclined to believe that jailing and killing people for not belong
 ing to the party in power is just as bad as jail
 ing and killing people for not belonging to the majority faction of the porty in power
 the attitude of the American socialist party to the contrary notwithstanding The Ameri- can socialist party did not help itself with the American people by extending the hand of fraternal greeting to the butchers and thieves marshaded in Moscow under the red banner of Lenine and Trotzky, and repudiation of that position merely on the ground that some of the socialists are getting the same treatment accorded non-sociaists does not strengthen the appeal of socialism to the American pcopdc

The statement recently given out by Obre- gon attempting in a very cunning way, to make it appear that the Mexican policy of the Unit ed States was inspired by selfish financial in terests, and that there really was no excuse for questioning the good faith of the existing Mex ican government in its strictly private pledges to protect the American rights of fife and pro- perty which have been so ruthessly violated during the past few years, had a rather faml- far sound. It resembled closely some of the pronunciamentcs issued under the Wilson ad- mlnistratiOn, whereby it was quite plausbly argued that white was black an dthe moon was made of green cheese. It is now disclosed that the author of this grandiloquent statement of fered as substitute for an agreement in writ ing to respect American rights, is no less than George Greet, late press agent of the new free dom. That President Obregon has employed such spokesman is the strongest evidence yet produced that he is trying to put something over on the American people.

PASTOR IS FORCED TO RESIGN
 BECAUSE HE WORE HOMESPUN

(By International News service)
 ' WORCESTER, Mass, Aug. 23. - Forgive them, for they know not what they dol" was the text of a ser mon preached in the Jamesville Bap- tist church by the Rev. Edward Mac Phee, just after he had teadered. his resignation as pastor effective at any time his congregation sees fit. The resignation were accepted. after a stormy debate lasting two and one half hours.
 MT. MacPhee's resignation was da- manded by one faction of the congre- gation because he was not up to the social standing of the church and wore homespun clothes in the pulpit, in. stead of Prince Albert" Another group insisted that he stay. declaring that, although he does wear homespuu, he is delivering the goods" The resignation is to take effect Septcm. Der Is. Deacon William F. Spring. who led the opposition. declared that Pastor MacPhee lives at No 601 Park street, Worcester.

PREPARES TO GATHER ANNUAL TAXES

The recent territorial legislature enacted a revenue law that placed a tax on every con celvable business enterprise as well as on pro fessional men of all classes. Uuon the terri tOriaI treasure is placed the burden of seeing that the money is collected from the taxable individuals and companies throughout Alaska. And that he might have the proper assis- tance in making these collections the legisla- ture in making appropriations made provis- sion: "FOr the necessary salaries of tax CO., lection clerks and their necessary travelling expenses, at $6,000 per annum, $l200O" The act contemplated the selection of ''cerks," :" and from the conversation of several members of the legislature, when in session. 1t seemed to be the idea that one or two clerks would be em- ployed in each judicial division. In that way it was thought that the work could be most ex peditously performed and that thousands of dollars might be saved that otherwise would go for travelling and subsistence expenses.
 The territorial treasurer has selected one clerk or collector and if the impression is ere ated that for the present he only intends to have one field representative we can imagine the howl that is likely to go up from every oth- CT section of the territory While it cannot be charged that Juneau ever makes any evertion to help those things to which she is entitled, 1t IS much discussed and frequently criti- clZed fact that when 1t comes to office seeking the city takes on energy that would be most commendable if directed along lines that would redown to the general welfare and ben eft of the community. And if it were thought that this city were to "hog" the tax collec- tions we fear that the treasurer would find his pathway strewn with so many brambes that he would take the citation for contempt of court as relaxation from the onerous duties of his office

if one man were to attempt to intelligently and systematically make all the collections for the ensuing six months he would likely be undertaking the physically i'm possible So, in anticipation of the hue and cry that is sure to go up from other sections, we say to our neighbors, bde a wee, for in time this matter will likely adjust itself, and in all probability it is the intention of the treasurer to try out scheme that will necessarily re- quire enlargement as time goes on and as con ditions develop.-Juneau Capital.
