CANVASSING BOARD WILL
 COUNT VOTES THIS MONTH

The opening meeting of the Terri torial Canvassing Board will be held on January 12, 1923, according to an nouncement made by Governor Scott c. Bone, who with Collector of Gus toms, John C. McBcide and the Ter ritorial Secretary, II. Karl Thiele, com pose the board. The meetings as is customary, will be held in the office of the Governor.
 In two divisions, it is possible that the outcome of several races will not be known until the board completes its canvass of the complete vote. In the Second Division the race for at least one and probably two places on the legislative ticket is so close that it will take an official count to deter mine the winners. One place in the legislatice ticket in the Third is also close and may not be determined un- til the official count.
 iC uul dlAoh VI tAlC oCooloAo oA tlAC board it is understood, will largely be governed by the receipt of returns from the remote precincts of the Sec ond and third divisions. Under the ter ;-itorial law the board cannot complete it's findings until all of the precincts have reported or it is satisfied that the returns from the missing ones cannot alter the final results in all races.
 The percentage of precincts from which returns have not been received up to the present time is not large. It is believed that most of them will be on hand by the day set for the board to convene. This is indicated by the fact that Governor Bone plans to go 10 the states, and may go as far as Washington, about the middle of Jan- ua1y, but has stated that he will not leave before the canvass of the re- turns is made

ABRlDGlNG THE CONSTITUTION

Do Alaskans know that there is bill before Congress tending to sup press the manufacture and sale of re volvers? This is senate bill No. 11S4 and is fatheTed by the bar association, the author of the bill advancing as an argument that More than ninety per cent of the crimes of the country are committee by the use of pistols" and therefore the manufacture of pistols and their sale should be suppressed"
 What snap it would be to the criminal to have the general public disarmed. Think of the boldness of the burglar or thug, who knew his vic tim had no possible chance of defend ing himself. Ninety per cent of the criminals who commit crimes are de- tended by lawyers, but is that any sign the bar association should be abolished. Several murders have been committed in the past two months with hammers. By all means let us abolish hammers.
 If the bill passes it will be because a majority of the people of the United States are careless and indifferent as' to their rights. It would be more dis

THE kU kLUx KHAN

The most despicable enemy the Na- ton has, or will have, is that person or that group of persons that would ap peal to the legislative power, much less to force, to interfere with any cit izen's choice of religion O. pursuit of that choice, And if the time should come that the constitution withhold or deny that :'iglt. this Republic will per ish from the earth!
 Our citizens who really cherish the respect of their ,ellowmen, and who reverence the government under which they live, should think seriously before affiliating with any organlza- ton that would set up government within itself They must realize that such movement as the K. K. K. can not live. It is capable of reaching far before it falls, but fall it must, for to succeed the Republic iSelf must fall.
 And when the fever of fanticism has run it's course-a course that may be stained with crime and blood-those who have acted their part herein, will be branded with cowardice, bigotry or conceit. They will be as unhappy as are those who permanently blighted their whole future when they cringed and slacked as their fellows proudly marched to war.
 The Klansman of today may take pride in having met the test Of Joy alty and he may feel honored by hay ng enrolled and found worthy to trust. But the time will come when he will curse the influence that whisper ed words that tempted him to take the paths of the K. K. K.
 This nation not only promises good home to those of alien birth who come aere under reasonable laws, but it was established as an asylum for those who would follow the dictates of their conscience or the instincts of thelr breeding in the worship of religion. Though a Christion nation it does not compel one to worship Christ. One may be an American and believer ln any religion. He may practice that re- ligion unless by doing so he be in con- flict with the law of the land. Or he may have no religion at all!
 The -easonableness of this provls- ion of the Constitution is recognized bv all the students of government throughout the world. It is accepted by a vast majority of the people of America. Those who challenge man his right of freedom of worship, as -rle. do not understand what chaos would follow in America if that rlght were abridged.
 There is nothing that strikes quite so deep in the nature of man "no has been brought up in religious De- lief as to assault his church. To take from him this possession is to break the anchor that saves him from the abyss of hopeless other world. Ills greatest enemy is one who robs him of his inherent right to worship in his accustomed way. We may believe he is wrong, we may persuade him that he is wrong, but we cannot compei him to believe that he is wrong or compel him to renounce a faith he holds to be right!
 The world has been plunged into war again and again because Of lntol- erance. More persons have fallen de lending their faith than live on earth today. These are among the consider ations that caused it to be written ln- 4o the American constitution that there should be no abridgement or re- ligious freedom in America.

PROTECT THE ALASKAN

Another bill is before the house of representatives designed to prevent the killing of brown bears, by trap or dogs. It would be truly refreshing to make it crime for the brown bear to kill an Alaskan at any season of the year. Why not give us the same show you would the bear?
