A TEXAS DILEMMA.

The nomination of Earle B. Mayfed who had the support of the Ku Klux Klan, for United States Senator by the Democrats of Texas, leaves a schism in the party that makes opening for the Re- publican Party there to render service the State The nomination of Mayfeld does that majority of the Texas Democrats favor the -Ku Kux Klan. He has. denied that he belongs the organi- zaticn, and he has made his campaign other issues The Klansmen voted for him because his opponents in the original primary and his opponent in the run-of attacked them and their organization. He was nominated largely because the opposition to him was divided in the original party and his opponent the runor, former Governor Ferguson, had been impeached and removed from the office of Governor for the misuse of the public funds Had Senator Cufberson been his opponent in the run-off Mayfeld would probably have been defeated
 However the result makes Ku Klux Klan more than issue in Texas, and Texas Demo crats in great numbers now urging the Republi- cans to present candidate of such dimensions that he would be fit successor for Cuberson, Reagan, Mills and other great men who have represented the Lone Star State in the Senate.
 Many Republicans, recognizing the opportunity for their party to be of service their State favor the nomination of Democrat of unquestioned stand ing. The name of Colonel Kirby, leading lawyer banker, farmer and stock raiser is being urged fol the Republican nomination, although he is lifelong Democrat.

BUREAUCRATS SATISFIED.

Some citizens in Alaska are reported to be much discouraged by the decrease population.

It is their contention that no cause exists fer Encouragement in anticipating the future the Territory During the period of placer gold stampedes, there rapid infuxes of popula- tion, but with them many nomads filled with wanderust that they attracted elsewhere.

They believe this process is going forward rapidly can be expected in an area where the and economic conditions favor only gradual but stable growth.
 Of course it is not difficult to determine that the complaisant officials at Washington bureaucrats who and have been gradually encompassing all the powers of government in the Territory, and who would not have anyone think for a that they not making the best possible of their authority.
 The fact is that Alaska lost lot of population during the and the period of activity when people were manufacturing munitions and equip ment and building ships in the States-a perod of high production cost here-for which the government responsible. People left to fight the country and result of economic conditions which continued after the

Friendly Finance.

 The proposal in Le Temps of Paris that the na- tions of Europe should set example to the world in practical scheme Of rehabilitation by all-around cancellation of debts which they another mi insters of the various governments. Europe has 'been long time in realizing that the United States is unwilling at this time to take the leadership in broad scheme for the fnancal reconstruction of scared Europe and that America is sincere in it's demand that Europe show by her fruits, by right ieconomy and sef-imposed parsmony in public ex- pendture that she deserves the aid which the United States is in position to extend
 So far there has been a general opinion among the men who have directed the financial policies of the Allied countries that any scheme of rehabilitation from which the United States stood aloof doomed to failure. There is doubt that America with her vast gold reserves and her unlimited credit is in a far better position than any other country to set the industrial wheels of Europe buzzing again Amer ica has consistently refused do regarded the efforts of the nations of Europe pry open her treasury chest much in the way as bank janitor would regard the with the acetylene torch and the high explosives who was found at mid night the big safe
 The proposal of Le Temps is practically along the lines of action which the United States has persist entiy recommended: Clear up the small bills that you owe 10 one another and open up new set of books, get rid of the confusion of paper debts and start once more with virgin sheet and then come and we will talk about advancing capital for the ex tension of business
