Consolidate Two
 Charter Committees
Continued from Page One,

probably would be provided in that Charter that if adopted at the election, it should take effect a year from that date. It would hardly be fair to allow a new mayor and board of aldermen to be elected in November 1923, and then have a&Charter take enect within 0 month or so which might abolish their offices altogether.
 Two Committees Futile
 The futility of having two sep arate committees working on Charter revision-even under such different scope and purpose-was so apparent to me that 1t seemed wise to have the same committee undertake the first job of correcting existing defaults and then, having examined into the Char ter for this purpose. to ask them to go further and bring in due time such complete revision as might seem nec- essary to. them. We don't want to think it's a small job to correct ex. lSt1ng defects in the Charter: tim wolves a thorough study and know ledge of that instrument, and when a the necessary study it should have progressed a, long ways along the path toward complete revision
 For these reasons I consolidated the two committees I want to say Shat the consolidated committees has

 Agents Deny Reports.
 At the office of Schnee, Schnee & Cooney, local agents for the bonding company. it was stated this morning that the report was untrue, as far as they knew. One of the members in a few days ago who went to see con- corning the report, stated that he be- neVed the report untrue but that the deal might be consummated through the main office of the bond ing company in Boston and the local office might mot be notified of it. He further stated. however, that he was positive that the money had not days ago when the president of the bonding company. enroute from Bos- ton to New York. stopped off at the local office. At that time, he said. he spoke to the president of the rn- mors which were prevalent and he was in turn informed that they were absolutely false.

Tex, Nov. 5-Agreement has been reached, it was announced here today whereby officials repre- senting practically every. department of the United States government in Ell Paso, and Mexican government of ficials in Juarez, will cooperate to smuggling of liquor and drugs into this city and to suppress revolts in Mexico.
 Inauguration of a telephone sys- tenn between Mexican river guards and customs men on this side is a part of the plan to stop smuggling.
 Americans will help prevent re- volts in Mexico by informing Mexican authorities of sh ipments of arms and munitions and watching more closely for revolutionary movements.

not yet worked out all of it's plans, having had as yet but one formal meeting, but if it should develop that a completely revised Charter, which would only go into effect after it had been approved in a referendum vote by the people, should be brought about speedily and effectively so that it might go into operation in Novem- Der 1923, I for one think a good deal could be said in favor of such a plan.

THE K. K. K. MENACE

Apologists for the Ku klux Klan sum up its activities as "one hundred per cent American" On this plea it has extended it's membership among civilized men until it has become a menace to society and the laws of the land. Many members are active in the courts. the church and state. They labor under the delusion that they are eXemplifying the principles of Christ ianity and of patriotism.
 Whatever else the Klan may. be it is an organization which will destroy all respect for the law, and constitut- ed authority, and is the antithesis of Christian love for ones fellow men. America, under the constitution is an asylum for the Jew, the Catholic, the Negro, and the Mohamedan Under it's protecting mantle the Baptist and the Methodist may worship according to the dictates of their conscience. The
 
 distinction in citizenship, and there should be none. They are all Zone hundred per cent Americans, if they observe our laws and our customs and do not interfere with the religion and rights of others. The desCendents of Washington and Lafayette can claim no greater patriotism than the lowest Polack. who obeys our laws and, as similates with other Americans. The steppes of Russia and the mountains of Scandinavia have furnished as worthy citizens as those of native blood. The only test is the mans loy alty to American principles. His ser vice to his country, is the ultimate standard. The man who bows down to Rome and the Man who is a descend ant of the Huguenots have equal rights.
 If night-riding, whippings, and mur- ders are necessary to protect our Am ericanism it is certain that our Am ericanism has disappeared under mob rule The remedy is more deadly than the disease The klan should be stamp ed out with an iron hand. It is more imperative that this be done than the Volstead Act, the gambling act, the Mann act and other reforms be en- forced, as these hooded gatherings are more vicious than all other evils.
 There is no room in America for the mob rule.

FAIRBANKS INVADED ,?


 Early last September the town of Fairbanks. Alaska, was invaded by numbers of wild caribou, rabbits geese and bears. In order to combat the animals the residents organized themselves into parties of hunters who spent several days in ridding the place of the animals. It was report ed that two cheechaco professors of the new agricultural college of Alaska got a caribou apiece and that several were killed by school children. Old timers claimed that the invasion of the wild animals was caused by the approach of cold weathe--Western Stories.

THE SATURDAY Gateway appears to fill long-felt want, judging by the way extra copies of the publication were snapped up by persons desiring to send them outside. Within twelve hours after the issue was off the press not one of the several hundred extra copies remained, and many calls were turned down on account of no papers left. Saturday we will print three hun dred extra copies, and will be able to supply all who desire to send them to outside friends. We hope to reach the one thousand mark by February first.

ALASkA'S CLIMATE.

Our climate, like our Democratic Federal appointees, is always with us. It is the only asset that the conserva- tionist has not clamered to the admin istrations to save for posterity. While it is not mentioned in our histories it is probably the oldest thing in Alaska, antedating some Of ou1 jokes by sew eral years. The fishing interests have not attempted to corral it, nor las any government bureau seen fit to throw it into a reserve. It is true we have a weather bureau appointed to look after it, but our territory is so vast that apparently it has not been able to control it's vagaries.
 Today the sun shines brightly. The air is redolent with perfume,-which indicates that our upstairs roomers are cooking ham and cabbage, or that our gas engine is runing The song of the coal man mingles with the twit- tering of the gulls and all nature smiles. The sky is like turquoise, studded with diamonds, the snow-clad peaks glittering and sparkling in their new mantles of ermine, the sun linn ing the sky with it's lip stick.
 Tomorrow we may come down toWn enticing. inc che .c'1aco goes to bed or panama hats. The uncertainty is what makes our delightful climate so on the line. He arises with the malu- with his windows open and the wash on the line He arises with the matu- tinal sun and finds his bedroom full of snow and the family wash adorning the niggerheads in the next valley. The old timer boasts of the weather of '9S, ad To! the record is broken over night and all men are liars.
 As uncertain as matrjmony and as full of deceit as congressional prom ises of g soldier bonus. our climate is become as dear to us as Christmas

ALASKA, THE MISUNDERSTOOD"

In the December 6 Outlook Sher- man Rogers, a writer and author Of note, who was in the Territory this summer compiling data fo" his art1- cle, 'tAlaska, the Misunderstood" has some substantial facts about Alaska it being one of the best descriptions of territorial industries and develop ment we have yet read. MT. Rogers hits the nail on the head when he de clares that the greatst need of Alaska is roads and pack trails, with central ization on Alaskan soil of the many bureaus which govern Alaska.
 MT. Rogers, in his article, states that the construction of good roads is by far the most pressing necessity for the upbuilding of Alaskan prosperity and the development of the agricultu- ral and mineral resources, He adds: Give Alaska everything that her en thusiasts have proposed, but omit sweeping program of road construc' tion, and the Alaskan interior will be in about the same stage of retarded development twenty years hence as now. Waive everything else, if neces- sary. but give Alaska roads,-LOTS of ROADS,-and it will come into it's own more suddenly than even it's own people ever dreamed possible"
 Let me say that every dollar spent on good roads in Alaska for conner cial purposes will create one hundred dollars of extra wealth; while every needed road building dollar refused will bring hardships to struggling plo- neers and stagnation to proper devel- opment."
 That Ms. Rogers statement is too true has been exemplified by roads al ready constructed by the Alaska Road Commission. In many cases where a durable road has been built from the railway or from salt water to min ing camp the saving in freight for the first year has nearly equalled the sum spent on the roads. In many cases the transportation charges have dropped from 25 cents pound to as low as three cents.
 A we'll merited compliment is paid by Mir. Rogers to the Alaska Road Commission, which he claims has done wonders with the small sums ap- propriated by congress. These men stand at the head of the class in road constructed and uave personally h. spected more country. travelling thou sands of miles by dog sled in mid winter. than the oldest sourdough in the territory.
 MT. Rogers lays stress on the perils of absentee landlordism, or bureau cratic control which he believes IS equally harmful, and believes that this autocracy is keeping industries out of Alaska. This may be true to certain extent, but with such men as Governor Scott c. Bone, Delegate Sutherland, Col. Steese and Major Gotwals in con- trol of major operations in Alaska, there should be no cause for com plaint The present administration has shown great friendship for Alaska, and much good advertising has result ed from its efforts.
 MT. Rogers has deftly sketched the situation in Alaska far better than we who live here could do so. Our person al interests blind us to the troubles of our neighbors; these things being seen best by a stranger.

Dug Up Pot of Coins

David Jones, 40 years old, of near
Somerset, KY, a mountaineer who
has been poor all his life, now is
classed as rich man by hill country
standards.
While digging pit for a saw mill
l nthe Mount Victory section of Pu-
laski County, KY, Jones drove his
pick into the top of a pot. There
arranged in orderly rows, was a great
mass of gold coins.
The money was in ancient English
pieces, all more than 100 years old.
and Jones could not determine the
value Of his find. He called on an
expert from the state banking depart
ment, who assured Jones that the
gold was worth about $4,000.
Then arose the question of owner
ship. Finally Jones was informed
that II he kept the money IL months
and no one could prove ownership the
fortune would be his.
II Ii believed by some that the
money was buried by robbers at least
100 years ago. The section is declar-
ed at that time to have been the lair
Of a gang which preyed upon a large
part Of the state and used Pulaski
county as place for hiding their loot.
