women voters-giving serious atten-
ton to the party primaries, the selec- |
ton of candidates for public Office |
"This State" says the Newark Post,
"can have as its national, State and
district representatives whomsoever
the voters want. This is not a plat
form platitude, but definite and seri-
Gus fact. The great majority Of vot-
ers leave the selection of candidates
to the party committee or cliques, so
called, in control. This makes the
choice of the voter often a mere mat
ter of choosing the lesser evil. The
power of the voter is not so much iii
the election of the ticket as in the
selection of the men who make up that
ticket. The farmer or business man
having a civic and patriotic interest
in the government, desiring only that
his party be represented by men best
equipped and by experience bcs- quail
flied, can, through the primaries, abb
solutely control the situation in max
ing his choice of candidates t0 be pre-

pressing an influence worthy nf power

This is good practical advice, and
truthful, comments the Every Even
ing. 1t applies with especial aptness
to long-prevailing conditions in the
Republican politics in this State, as
the Republican party, with complete
control, has fallen under the manage

ganization which has been Gable to die
tate all primary selections, owing to
the Indifference of many members of
the party to their real duty. But with
these Indifferent citizens aroused, and
supplemented in their efforts by the
women, who have higher apprecia-
tion of all the finer things in life, in
the field of politics as we'll as in the
home and society, there may be effect

astute party managers will find it diff

SENATORS UNANIMOUS AGAINST
PERMITTING SUBMARINE WAR
FARE ON MERCHANT SHIPS.
SEA FORCES LIMITED
USE OF CHEMICALS AND POISON
GAS TO BE RESTRICTED
BY PACT.
western Newspaper Union News Service }

Washlngton.-The two arms confer
ence treaties, limiting the navies of
the great powers and restricting the
use of submarines and poison gas
were ratified in landslide of approba-
tion by the Senate.
To the naval limitation covenant,
declaring a naval building holiday and
fixing the ratio of capital ship strength
for the United States, Great Britain,
Japan, France and Italy, the Senate
gave its final assent by Il vote of IA
to l, and then almost without debate,
it accepted, II to o, the pact designed
to prevent submarine operations
against merchant men and to outlaw
chemical warfare altogether
The only negative vote was cast
against the treaty by Senator France,
Republican, Maryland, who said he re-
garded naval reduction as a dangerous
expedient under present world condi-
tions. Every other member of the ''ir-
reconcilable" treaty bloc who was
present, cast a vote in the affirmative,
although Senator Borah, Republican,
Idaho, told the Senate he regarded the
treaty as only n beginning, and Sena-
tor Johnson, Republican, California,
declared he accepted the fortifications
status quo" provisions for the Pacific
with grave misgivings."
A speech assailing the poison gas
articles of the submarine and gas
treaty was made on the floor by Sen
atOr WadswOrth, Republican, New
York, chairman of the military COM
mittee, but before the ratification roll
call he left the chamber and did not
vote
The New York Senator disagreed
with the statement in the treaty text
that use of gas in warfare had been
"justly condemned by the general opin-
ion of the civilized world" argued
that chemical warfare had not proved
actually more brutal than other ac-
cepted methods of destruction, and eX-
pressed a fear that the treaty pledges
would be violated in any emergency.

Germans Aroused Against Russians.

Berlin.-The Berlin newspapers have
joined hands in demanding that, in the
light of the recent attempt upon the
life of Paul NJ. Milukoff, former min
lister of foreign affairs in the Russian
provisional government, Russians of
all political parties be forced to de-
sist from agitation. The newspapers
declared Russian monarchists must be
checked as well as the Bolshevists.
The German press says Germany is
willing to have Russians conduct the
aters and engage in legitimate social.
artistic and educational activities, but
they must put a ban on politics.

The Alaskan problem is one of many ramifca-
tions. The basic fact around which the various
phases of the problem revolve is put in nutshell
by the question, whats the matter with Alaskan?
TOO much government by too many bureaus
too far away" is one of the many answers to the
question. Though Alaska has a governor (Scott
G. Bone) and a legislature and territorial dele
gate to congress CDan A. Sutherland). it is real
ly governed by Washington bureaus and apparent
ly almost every executive department has hand
in that government.
You see, nearly all of Alaska's natural resources
directly or indirectly controlled by the federal
government About 80 per cent of the land is still
in government ownership. Coal and oil develop
ment is under government leases. Water power
and fisheries and timber under federal control.
And the activities of the many bureaus of the
several departments dovetail. overlap and conflict
in a bewildering tange. Owing to the divided au-
thority and the limitations of statutes and ap-
preparations, there would be miXup, even were
cooperation the watchword of all concerned.
AS the result Alaska has not been doing well.
The population has fallen Off The commerce has
decreased The country Is not being developed
The fisheries are nor prosperng. The postofIice
department can hardly be said to function. Ocean
transportation is inadequate and costly. With oil
and coal Of her own Alaska is importing both.
Various plans have been proposed for AIaskas
congress. One bill would put the administration
into the hands of an Alaskan development board
Another would give the President authority to re-
organize all federal activities

Then there Is another proposition which compli-
Gates the political phases of the situation: The
proposed reorganization of all the executive DEPART
ments. This reorganization would regroup the
various bureau activities and bring about a whole

One contemplated transfer under this reorganiza-
is that of the forest service In charge of the
national forest from the Agricultural department
to the Interior department.
The Agricultural department is fighting this
proposed transfer. Its stake In Alaska is the
