THOUSANDS OF WOMEN ARE NOW CONVERTED Black and White ''Beauty
 Trail' draws many new
 followers each year

1 When the discoverers of the mar vicious Black and White Beauty crea- tions first announced to the girls and at last perfected a means of really correcting bad compledons. 1t was regarded as simply another wild claim which would explode when put to practical use.
 .. But as each year has passed since that memorable day Gin June, 1916) the figures show that large numbers of new converts have been added to s.the Black and White label, until now Black and White Beauty Creations rare selling at the phenomenal rate of more than eight million packages a gear.
 When asked recently to give the reason for the tremendous popularity and big sale of Black and White Beauty Creations, one of the chemists said: ITO us it is nothing out of the Hordinary for such Black and White Beauty Creations as Cleansing Cream and Peroxide Cream to get such uni- versal approval among girls and women everywhere. These enormous sales mean but one thing, and that IS t--BlacS and White Beauty Creations lare actually accomplishing what swomen expect in caring for their sromplexion 70 keep it looking smooth wAnd clear without a lot of trouble. < "One or two packages are sold in "a neighborhood through the adver- Rising and twenty more are bought There because the first ones bring ssuch astonishing results. People are always ready to tell others about a method which helps them accomplish what other things failed to do."
 Not a week passes that fails to bring out hundreds of statements from girls and women about the won- derful results they get in correcting sbad complexion by using Black and NWhite Cleansing, and Peroxide Cream. eThis alone is sufficient to explain athe phenomenal sale of the Black -and White Beauty Creations, and is the best reason no power on earth lean keep them off the dressing tables of girls and women all over the coun- etry. Highest quality.

BACK UP THE BIOLOGICAL SURVEY.

The efforts of the Biologcal Survey to extermnate wolves in Alaska should be backed up in every pos sible way by the people of the Territory and there should be cooperation between those who make war on these destructive animals in Alaska and those who fight the evil in British Columbia. Wolves do not recognize boundary lines and there is little profit in protecting game animals if permit the country be by their destroyers. If the deer and other game animals to be exterminated it would be better to have it done by those who would use them for food.
 The establishment of the fox farming industry in Alaska adds additional very practical reason for the destruction of wolves Fox farming unquestion- ably soon be of the leading industries in the Territory It is going ahead, with leaps and bounds The wolf is enemy of the fox, and with foxes becoming and numerous it is only qucs- ton of time when the wolves, if they not done away with, will be real menace to the industry.
 The Biological Survey has done effective work in other sections of the country in solving the wolf and coyote problem Let Us help them solve 1t in Alaska.

INTERNATIONAL MATTERS AND
 PUBLICITY.

Elihu Root, hester of American international law and diplomats, has spoken strongly and bravely for more publicity in international affairs. He says the people should be taught principles and informed the facts international matters and ideas He adds
 An ignorant democracy controlling for
 egn affairs leads directly to the
 destruction of civilization, while an informed
 democracy insures peace and progress of civ
 ili2aticn.
 There has been any doubt in the mind of anybody about the principle of the thing but somehow it has been difficult to get diplomats to carry tho principle into effect and they have ap- parently advanced very sound why there should be silence as to many important facts Presi- dent Wilson declared fer the principle enunciaed by the former foreign minister and Ambassador but was criticised for practieng as he preached Now his critics arc in control and they subject to even more criticism than was the former President for their profound silcnces.
 The fact is that many people in all the walks of life are too fearful of publicity That fear is being efadicated to large extent in business but is still eNists there. There was time when business and To some extent at least. politics conducted on ne principle of addition, division and silence ; That principle is rather the exception than tho rule in both business and politics There is no ap- parent reason 10 doubt that it should not be the exception rather than the rule in international mat ters The declaration of Mir ought to settle.that point.
 AL least the people of the country should be edu- eated to the point that they would quickly recognize the reason for silence when publicity is withheld in foreign affairs.
 MT Roots utterance is based on the fact that this IS democracy and that the people are sovereign That is something that should not be overlooked at anytime in any of the affairs of Government or bus ness The American people nearly always reason able when they know the reason for any act and when they know all the facts they are not usnalIv harsh Judges. There is good reason to be too fearful of them

Afraid of Shadows.
(New York Post. )


 We are not in the of Senator Borah's mind and heart But if the former chief enemy of foreign entanglements is pressing for consultation and cooperation with Europe it may be that the pro- cesses of his reasoning are somewhat as follows:
 Senator Borah locks at the Ruhr He sees French atempting to solve the separations prob lem by the application of force and English army holding aloof More than that, the British Govern ment is said to be debating the withdrawal of it's troops from the Rhne The British troops on the Rhine by virtue of compact known the Treaty of Versailles. Yet it to be the British belief that by that compact Great Britain has not sur rendered her freedom of action problem of great moment Long before the Ruhr crisis Great Britain had shown that because she is cosignatory with France to the Treaty of Versailles and a fellow mem Der of France in the League of Nations the policy of Great Britain need not be dictated by France, and British boys are not bound to be dragged into war by French action. And Senator Borah may be thoughtfully thinking back to the time when he was warning us against entanglements and super sovereignty and the peril of our boys being dragged off to at foreign behest
 Senator Borah looks at Lausanne. There the talk is of umatums to the Turks and possible war There as observers or as curators of special inter egts Now it is reported from Lausanne that 'in American circles both the Allies and Turks are con demned for their stupidity in playing with fire by penny-wse policies. Some blaming the Allies and most of tho others the Turks And it may have occurred to Senator Borah that the situation same. instead of distributing blame between Allies and Turks and doing their legitimate best to impose
 
 true that we are safeguarding interests at Lausannne But possibly Senator Borah is wondering Just how safe our own interests will remain in the Near East if war should break again By play ing lone hand in the Near East are in great ter danger of facing cnanging situation than if we held full partnership in the councils of the Allies
 Senator Borah can hardly be blamed if he lets his thoughts go back to the Arms Conference with which he had something to do By going into tho conference we enangled ourselves in Asia; Asia today is reaping results that the most confirmed optimst scarcely expected. Japan is of Shantung and interior China. Japan is Siberia and preparing to get out of Saghalien England is with drawing from Wei-hai-wei China is being speedily restored to mastery in her house. And the chances of our boys being sent off to fight in Asia arc less than they have been in decades.
 Senator Borah has been educated to the confer ence idea, though not yet to the League of Nations ldea But 1T he has ceased to be afraid of one he may yet learn not to be afraid of the other For the League of Nations Is only permanent machinery or conference. The prospect great nation being cGerced into action against it's judgment and conscience and ultimate interests is as much of bogy in the matter of the League as it is in the realm of spasmodic cooperation.

DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.

One of the reaults of the Democratic victories last fall in many of the Northern and all the Border and Southern States has been great
 interest in the possible choice of the Democratic National Convention for President Newspapers are devotlng good deal of space the subject and of course, party leaders giving the matter much at tenticn. while ambitious statesmen who would like 10 succeed MT Harding playing for position
 There is a good deal of evidence that the wet and dry question may have than little bearing on the question It is this than anything else which attracts interest to the activities of William J. Bryan who has been power in the Democratic party for nearly thirty year5-a power, however. that has waned a great deal since 1915 While many of the Eastern States have shown their hostility to prohibit ton and would welcome a declaration in favor of wine and beer there is disposition it is said else where to leave that matter out of the Presidential contest and let it remain issue Congressional elections. l. is said that MT. Bryan would probably agree to euch plan if the candidate is right"

President Harding's Trip.
GDaWsOn NeWs.)


 If President Harding makes his contemplated trip 10 Alaska this summer, Dawson could do no better than to invite him and his party to this way and visit the celebrated mining camp of the stampede days of 97 and 98, the greatest placer gold camp of modern times in the worlds history. When the Governors General of Canada, Lord Byng, passed through Alaskan waters last every little town along the way out to honor him, and from our knowledge of his excellency. may feel that he appreciated the goodwill of Alaskas citizens and builders Should the opportunity arise for the people or the Yukon Territory to show reciprocal feeling Of good will and friendship toward the President of the United States and his party without doubt it would meet with warm response.
 AceHdng to reports the Presidential party will leave Seattle in June and sail for Alaska. Likely the President will take the Government railroad Fair banks. To complete the circuit by coming down the ianana River, then up the Yukon to Dawson, and via Whitehorse to Skagway, would make him familiar with the vast interior country. When at Fairbanks he would be within the watershed Of the mighty Yukon River, and it is net likely that he would leave the country without seeing this great river of North America. So when summer comes Dawson may have an opportunity of giving President Harding a well come which it will be hard for him to forget.
