|or1gln of the measure as IS shown by his dec laration in recent public speech here that Alaskans might as well realize once for all time that it Is impossible to get any bill through Congress that does not meet with the approval of Eastern game conservationists At least some of that element probably the most powerful faction in it, are not willing for
 Alaskans to have any voice in the control of game animals in the Territory It is that fact coupled with their sponsorship of the pending game legislation, that leads to serious dstrust !of it and to doubt as to the good faith of the proposal in it for an Alaska game commission.
 And it is patent on the face of the measure that the proposed commission is of the rubber stamp variety without real power and that the actual authority is vested in the Biological Survey through its Territorial agent Even Iconceding these defects, the measure intro Iduced by the Delegate is an improvement on tbe existing law.
 Many people in Southeastern Alaska, how ever, do not favor the bill. When briefly its purport was submitted to several hundred of
 them by the Alaska Fish and Game Club, only very small minority approved it. On the other hand suggested substitute pre- sented at the same time by the club was ap- proved. The substitute proposed four divi sional commissions composed of a commis- sioner and the Governor, the two latter thus being on every commission and in position to coordinate their activities. However. it is not made exactly clear how the commissions would function. If it is intended that they will be bureaus under the Department of In terior which would issue the game regula- tions under law drafted by itself, there would be no change in the system, merely, switch in the departments from which au- thority is derived. All that would be gained then would be minor step in centralization of power at Washington. If, however, it IS the intention of the sponsors of the substi
 tute to give the suggested commissions full power to formulate regulations for each diVl- sion and to put them into effect, to make them responsible to the Territorial Legislature through the Governor, rather than to the De partment of Interior, there are many advant ages to be gained. It would mean extending to Alaska some portion of home rule that Alaskans have been demanding for years,
 At present administration of legislation and regulations affecting game and fur-bearihg animals is in a rather chaotic condition. Either of the measures being discussed would bring about an improvement if enacted into law. The Nelson measure IS defective and needs many amendments. The substitute ad vanced is too sketchily outlined in it's pres ent form to be presented to Congress. Juneau Empire. gs

A laugh is just like sunshine;

A laugh is just like sunshine;
 It freshens all the day, It tips the peak of life with light,
 And drives the clouds away. The soul grows glad and hears it,
 And feels it's courage strong; A laugh is just sunshine
 For cheering folks along.

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

If you'll sit down and take sheet of paper and pencil we will try to figure out an idea
 Is it cheaper to bring coal from tidewater to tlns town than to ship semi-preparAd ore to the Statese
 Boring river coal would coke or work by the air pressure system, that has attained such popularity in the East.
 Of course flux is prime consideration but it is easily obtained in this country.
 We all realize what an immense aid a GUS tom smelter would be to the district; both to the town and the mine operator
 If the plant was erected near the town most of the employees would live here, and the mines would be helped on account of Me Carthy's central location in the district.
 We have an abundance of water, no wind to speak of, we are far enough away from the hills to insure good draught and last but not least, there is very little rainfall. Rain means heavy atmosphere and consequent difficulties in securing good draught. A refining plant will become necessity i'll this part of Alashka before many more years; and when that time comes Mccarthy should be ready to convince construction engineers and capitalists that we are in the running with other towns Mccarthy News.

idea of it. We are convinced that the
venom which inspires such rude and
inexcusable attacks through the press
upon the good people of Sikeston is
unworthy of federation in our COM
munity. We contend that the way to
combat mistreatemnt is not to pas
sionately submit to savage instinct,
expressed in vilifying abuse. We be-
lieve that the spirit which prompts
such an Outburst as was published in
The Times of above date is the same
spirit which prompts unsportsmanlike
conduct on the foot ball field.
We do not consider it worthy of
lour attention to enter upon a defense
of football as sport. Its prevalence
over the country, and the fact that it
has been for years the leading inter-
scholastic and intercollegiate sport
are proof enough to our minds Of its
fright to retain its place.
\ We desire to commend the profess
SIGNAL and business men of Farming
ton for their whole-hearted and en-
thusiastic support of the foot ball
team of FarmingtNn High School. We
consider them the men upon whom the
duty of developing the city as "com-
munity of churches and schools" de-
wolves. We reiterate our implicit
faith in them, and pledge to them
whatever assistance we are capable of.
We again deplore the fact that there
are still a few inveterte and irrecon-
cilable knockers in the community,
striving to prevent or undo every
praiseworthy step in the direction Of
civic improvement. We urge upon
them the virtue of silence, and pray
that their TRIBE may decrease.

Congressman Marion E.
Rhodes, who aspires for re-elec-
ton from the 18th District, has
asked the newspapers of the
18th District, that is some of
them, to refute in the last issue
before the election some of the
charges which have been made
against his official record. 1t is
significant that the refutation
is to be made in the last issue of
the papers before the election
because it may appear later that
the refutation itself is false, tho
it would be too late to damage
Mr.. Rhodes for the election
would be over. ~
Fortunately for the people OF
the 18th Missouri District who
abhor adroit and tricky CAM
paign methods the Journal-Ban-
ner has come into possession Of
Mr.. Rhodes rather weak denial
of some of the charges, which
have been leveled at him and
will take this opportunity OF
throwing the white light of pub
licity upon them.
, It has been charged among
other things that Mr.. Rhodes
had his wife on the payroll of
the government as one of his
secretaries at a salary of $1440
per year. To refute this Mr..
Rhodes has produced a state
ment from the clerk of the Ma
tional House of Representatives
which says that the records of
Congress edo not show that
Mrs. Annie P. Rhodes is en-
ployed as a clerk to a member
or in any other capacity It
will be noticed, however, that
nothing is said which would in
dictate that Mrs. Annie P.
Rhodes has not been on the pay
roll in the past. Is it not barely
possible that Mrs. Rhodes has
been dropped from the payroll.
merely temporarily to be re-
stored after the election is past?
The New York World in its is
sue of Tuesday, June 9th, 1922,
says that Mrs. Annie p. Rhodes,
wife of Marion E. Rhodes, was
on the government salary as one
of his clerks at a salary of $1440
per year. 1t goes further and
says that "a man secretary does
all of the work" If this charge
made four months ago by one of
the largest newspapers of the
United States is false, why did
not Mr.. Rhodes sooner deny it?|
While denying that his wife
Mrs. Rhodes is on the payroll,
Mr.. Rhodes admits that his son
is on the payroll at a salary of
$1,000 a year. Pretty soft for
the Rhodes family. $500 an
nual salary with other perquisit-
es for Marion, $1440 for Annie
P. and $1,000 for Junior. Mr..
Rhodes would also have gone
further and told of a brother
in-law, j. G. McGlothin, employ
ed in the Food and Drug Depart
ment of Missouri at a salary of |
$500 per year, also Of Mrs.
McGlothin, a sister Of Mr.
Rhodes, employed in the same
