 The wagons went to every part of Ensley and the rubbish and trash

PROBATE COURT AT
 BESSEMER RANKS FOURTH IN STATE
Rating Is Based On Volume Of Business Done By
 Officials
BESSEMER BUREAU l
 THE ACE-HERALD ! PeSaaY1aar Ala .1uly Q

A recent investigation by state of ficials has disclosed the fact that the Bessemer division of the probate court is the fourth in size in the state, ranking after Montgomery. This rating is given on the amount of business transacted.
 The Bessemer office has grown considerably during the. past few years and reflects the rapid progress of the district This office handles all the business connected with the probate court in the Bessemer cut off. including Fairfield, and much of the increase is due to the voluminous transactions in the southern portion of the county.
 Another item of interest is the fact that the Bessener circuit court IS reputed to transact more business than any other single court in the state. The rspidity of handling cases has been remarked on numbers of times by visiting court officials and lawyers.
 Pressure of business at a recent term of court prompted the supreme court to send an assistant judge here to aid Judge J. C. E. Gwin.

FOUR CIVIL SERVICE LAWS PASSED BY

Four bills affecting the Federal Civil Service and ita hundreds of thousands of employees all over the United States passed during the last 24 hours of the expiring Congress. The reconsideration bill
 providing employment policy for the Govern Service has been the goal of four years campaign by the National Federation of Federal Employees A bill continuing the present $240 so-called bonus until the reelassifcaton becomes operative and a customs service measure which the statutory limit of SS4o for customs laborers were adopted as nseasurc of immediate relief for the lower-pad en- plcyces. The fourth bill emergency legislation continuing compensation awards of the United es Compensation Committee in where Government employees are III or have died of disease incurred by reason of their employment This legislation was McCarl, who refused payment in all cases not due to accident in the narrowes sense of the term

POSTPONE PRIMARY ELECTION DATE.

Beforee it adjourns the Legislature should amend the primary election law, It should change the primary date from April to August or September. As the stands candidaets for the various offices must file their declarations of candidates in Febru- ary more than nine months before the election and than year before the meeting of the Legisla- ture in which those who eventually chosen to sit, meets. This long campaign, followed by four months Of preparation for the meeting of the Leg islature and then sixty days session make politics an almost continuous performance in Alaska. It is disturbing to business and unfair to the people The for the meeting of the Legislature really should be advanced six weeks morc but probably the Legislature would not have authority to make that change. At any the people should be permitted
 to look forward after the adjournment of the Legis lature to year or more of sureease from politics
 Further, people cannot be induced to take great
 interest in the personnel of the next Legislature than a year before 1t meets Men who would make desirable members do always know in Feruary, the date they have file their declarations of didacies, whether not they would want to serve in the Legislature from the following spring The result is the situation is too often left in the hands of professional politcians-those who think and work politics all the time
 If the primary election held about the first ct September and the declarations of candidates Iequrcd to be filed thirty days six weeks before that time there would be general interest in the matter and it would often, doubt, result in people being able to draft men to stand for the election rather than to leave the road almost wholly in the poc-esion of ofice-seekers and politicians.
 Such amendment would make it necessary, of course for the parties to select their delegates to the National Conventions in Territorial conventions, but they could still select their National Committee at the primary eelction. It would be an i'm provement to choose the delegates in convention anyhow, for there are so many people who cannot know in February whether not it will be possible to attend a National Convention in the June or July following. If a convention could be held two three weeks in advance of the National Convention it would be different matter.
 , convention would also the purpose of permitting political parties to reorganze and again.

Usurping Government.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.


 The bill control Ku Klux Klan and like secret and menaeng activities within the State is sticking unconscionably long time in committee.
 Legislators should not be tmid politically afraid asserting the right of the State to compel and impose public order and adhesion to lawful civilized usages.
 There is one and only, fountain head of public regulation and that is the government, created and directed by all of the people.
 Interference with this authorized power on the part of classes organized for selfish purposes is an insufferabe intrusion. No citizen whose opinion and influence worth retaining will object to con stituted authority insisting upon it's constitutional rights.
 One of the things that make the United States secure, responsible and great among nations is the unquestioned stability and authority of it's govern in the people
 It is obvious that if this nation any of it's States permit the alienation of governmental power to groups of classes it would ultimately mean the loss of respect for law, and the distnegration of this republic.
