KEEPING POWDER DRY

Hon. James Wickersham, six times delesate to congress. of which eight years was during a democratic na- tional administration. was recent, given q home coming by friends and admirers at Juneau This din ner was in the nature of an Ova son in d section of Alaska where he ell countered during his political activ- ity the most determined opposition as well as the most hattering returns when the ballots Were counted.
 Judge Wickersham said to his friends and admirers that he did not expect to make another campaign for public office in Alaska. but in tended 10 keep his powder dry" evidently giving his political enemies sufficient warning that he intended to 'step on the tail' of any politi-' cal schemes they might hatch, which.

 Hardening back over a dozen years the average Alaskan recalls the mel in Alaska most active in the first political campaign of the Territory. The first election was complete defeat for the political parties.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF \ NEWS-
 PAPER TO IFS READERS.
tFi'om Corduva Ttmes)

 The relation of newspaper to it's readers is one that at times is worth thinking about. Is il purely a busi- ness relation in which the subscriber pays so much per year for the paper and the publisher contracts to give in his news columns accounts of pink teas and lemonade socials. or that Mrs. Jones took dinner with Mrs Brown,and Smiths baby has the humps? Or does not the average publisher expect to give more than is included in normal business re. lation. And doesn't the reader ex- poet more? If it was pure busi- ness relation, matter of dollars and cents, the average publisher would charge more per annum for a sub scription. Eliminating everything but news few if any of the numerous publishers of the country could sup ply the paper at anything like the usual charge per year. We fancy that the average publisher likes to think of his readers as all comprs- ing one big family having many things in common and who feel that when they receive the paper each issue that they are getting more than the few cents that it cost them.
 We are inclined to think that be- tween the average paper and its average reader there is relation that is beyond and above a pure

 With Governor Bone actively sup porting those officials seeking to en- force the Volstead act there is going 10 be more determined action in stamping out the illegal sale of in. toxicants in Alaska Much now de bends upon the attitude of the mu- nicipal authorities in supporting fed eral officials. If the municipal authorities continue to allow soft drink places in Alaskan towns to operate on a slip-shod. back-room policy, it will be difficult. indeed. for deputy U. s. marshals and enforce ment officers to wipe out this evil. which has been an eyesore in most of the towns of the First division
 During the war period the Council of National Defense attempted to spur the federal officials into activ- ity. The attempt was unsuccessful because there appeared no sympa- thy on the part of officials to CO., operate. Juneau. the capital city of the territory, has for some years been wide open as far as sale of, liquor and gambling is concerned. At ketchikan several shooting scraps resulted from sale of liquor and gambling. Business men of Juneau and Ketchikan complained regard resulted in the arrest and discharge of at least two officers of the law detected with liquor in their posses sion not reported to the proper au- thorities
 Arthur G. Shoup, new '. $, at torney in the First division, started the ball rolling by public declara- tion that illegal liquor traffic and gambling must cease. Governor Bone now steps forth with declara- tion that new officials starting to function will have to clean up their divisions, and remove the eyesore to public decency. Governor Bone and these officials will have the support of all right thinking citizens, not withstanding the organ of democracy at Juneau throws sand into the ma chinery by claiming conditions at Juneau are no worse than at the national capital.

 He is the home merchant-your neighbor-your frend-vour helper in times of need.
 Don't you think that you ought to trade with him. and be his friend and his helper in the time of his need?
 Don't you think that every dollar that you send out of ketchikan for merchandise, is sent to strangers to men who never spend dollar in the town, to men who would not trust you for box of matches, to men who would turn you over to the police if you should enter their offices?
 You don't save much. frequently nothing. when you send your money out of ketchikan and you take al, the risk yourself of short weight or measure and of getting damaged or inferior goods. Possibly if you and everybody else in Ketchikan should trade at home. the merchant might afford to sell as cheaplv as do the big stores in the big cities And don't you know that the growth and prosperity of Ketchikan depends very largely upon the success and prosperity of the home merchants? Out-of-town people judge our city by the appearance Of our merchants. And our home merchants can not succeed unless home folks give them loyal support.

This set the stage for the resignation of Wickersham from the federal bench. and hls independent race for dele- gate to congress What he did to forson and Roman was q crime He beat them both with several thous- and ballots to spare

 control of the patronage in Alaska under the Taft administration. this popular interior transportation man. against Wickersham IL had been promised all construction crews on the Copper River X NorthWestcrn railroad would vote for Orr This numbered close to four thousand men. Also all cannery crews in Western Alaska, numbering eight thosand men, mostly aliens. had been promised. The Copper River X Northwestern vote was delivered as per promise, but the insurance companies refused to allow cannerv vessels to remain in northern waters awaiting election day. and Wicker sham swept the territory. easily de- featine Orr, not witstanding his heavy vote from railroad eonstruc- tion camps.
 This discouraged the republican opposition. and the next campaign WAS easily won by Wicker,ham from q democratic and socialist candidate.
 With the Wilson administration came Thomas J Donohue. an astute politician with well EInized ma chine. Donohue conceived the idea of running q mining man against Wickersham. and picked Charles A Sulzer. q popular copper miner from the First division, which division had heretofore been Wickersham $ stronghold. This division shifted from the usual 1,5oo majority for Wickersham to close to 500 majority for Sulzer, owing to the heavy vote caused by the boom on Gastineau channel, where the Gastineau mining organization supported Sulzer al most to a man The result Was so close that it was an easy matter for the canvassing board to count out Wickersham. who was eventually seated.
 Again two years afterward Sulzer and Wickersham raced The vote was close and again Wickersham was counted out. but seated by congress after nearly a two years contest. In fact. Wickersham only served four days of the two-year term to which he was elected.
 At the last election Wickersham did not file and Dan A. Sutherland ran against George Grigsby. demo- orat. winning hands down.
 Thus II may be taken tor granted that when Wiekersham declares he will keep his powder dry ii means something to those who have knifed him in former elections.

more important even than our shoes and
our hats. Occasionally we reach q de-

new and charming suggestions.

LEADERS OF OLD
GUARD YIELD TO
PROGRESSIVES
Democrats Win Victory on
Tax Amendments, Which
Improves Bill.
CHANGES MADE IN LAW
BY RICHARD LINTHICUM.

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-The most de-
cisive victory in behalf of constructive
legislation yet won by the Democrats at
this session of Congress was the sur
render of the old guard reactionary mem
bers Of the Senate Finance Committee to
the Progressive Republicans in the mat
ter of amendments to the tax revision
bill, which, while they improved the bill,
do not remedy many Of its iniquities-
The amendments which the old guard
leaders were compelled to accept in or
der to avoid party split and a coalition
of Democrats and Progressive Republicans
were first presented in the Senate on Sept.
80 by Senator Simmons Dem. N c.,
former chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee. AS stated by Senator Sim
mons they provided for an increase of
the corporate income taxes with 4 range
of 1919 to % per cent instead of a fiat
rate Of 10 per cent; TO retain the capital
stock tax on corporations; to repeal the
81 eco exemption on corporate incomes;
TO cOnine individual exemptions Of $1,000
on incomes below $4,000 and above $1,000
to restore the surtax to a maximum of
81 per cent and to repeal the transporta
ton tax.
Following the announcement Of Senator

it was imminent that a coalition Of these
progressive elements would follow, and
for the first time this session the Old
Guard reactionaries took genuine alarm

amendments initiated by the Democrats

And the big gray horse logged around
and around and pretty soon the circus
lady jumped from the black horse on to
the big gray horse, and Puss Junior held
her on-that is, he made believe, you
know, for. Of course, she could ride all
right. And then the people all clapped
again and said, Bravo" which means

After the circus was over, PUss was
asked to make a speech, but instead he
recited this little poem:
Oh, I'm in love with the sawdust ring.
And on the trapeze I'd like to swing:
But my big gray horse I'd rather ride
Than anything else I've ever tried.
