 We are informed that J. L. Waller, of Anchorage, candidate for the Re- publican nomination to the House is a real progressive, a supporter of Dan Sutherland and his policies. Where you are indoubt, pick out a Sutherland man.

 Howard Ashley, an "Oil-for-one" candidate, is not exactly a carpet bapger, but I am willing to wager that the day after he loses his $500 month job with the White Pass Railroad, he will have folded up his handkerchief and used his pass to get back to Vancouver, B. C.

STROLLER WHITE ADVOCATES VIO-
 LAYTON OF LAW

"Just for the reason that an In dian who cannot read, write or speak the English language bobs up at polling booth with a ballot in his hand is NOT sufficient reason that his ballot should ever see the interior of ballot box-not if the judges of election KNOW THEIR BUSINESS.-Stroller's Weekly"
 To put this in plain language, Stroller means MT. Election Judge, When an Indian votes and hands you his ballot, DO NOT PUT THE BALLOT IN THE BALLOT BOX but slip it aside.
 The Watchers assigned to each polling place are hereby carefully warned to watch out for any illegal act on the part of hostile election judges, and see that there are wit nesses around so that the United States district attorney will nave something to go on when he prose cutes dishonest practices.
 We are also informed that at diff ferent points, the United States Deputy Marshal are taking an active part in intimidating citizens. Those who are most active are we'll known. Citizens are also asked to keep their eyes on these deputy marshals. Keep in mind that U. s. Marshal or his deputy has no right to be in a poll ing place or to meddle in the election unless there is a disturbance
 Citizens must not forget that since Attorney General Daugherty has quit the Presidents cabinet, our Marshal Beaumont has no cinch on his present job. That goes for those of his deputies who are trying to intimidate voters. THE BATTLE THIS YEAR IS TO BE FOUGHT WITH BALLOTS.

THIRD DIVISION
 CANDIDATES

Joseph Murray, lawyer from Me- Carthy, is a candidate for reelection to the House of Representatives Murray is man of great power and talents but uses them to project or to advance the special interests of the Guggenheims. He voted against a tax of $7,50O on each million of profit of that great company whose profits run from six million to twenty million dollars year.
 He worked against a decent work mems compensation act that propos- ed to guarantee compensation to in jured employees without the necessi- ty of employing lawyers.
 He served the transportation com panies we'll and thus worked for a continuance of high freight rates for the Third Division.
 Will the small business man or the laborer send him back?
 If you are in doubt, you will make no mistake in voting for John J. Bugge, of Palmer. He is the farmer President of the Matanuska Valley Settlers Association, true friend of Dan Sutherland's, an enemy of ex- ploiters, is honestly opposed to fish reserves, and et-baggers. He earns his own living out of the ground and does not depend on Gre tainers" from rich corporations. It is better to vote for one good man than waste your vote on four that you do not know. Put John Bugge on your ticket.

National Forests Are

AT the present time the national for

of the lumber used in this country.
cent of the annual effective timber
growth. This is merely another way
of saying that on the national forests
timber is being grown more rapidly
than it is being harvested. while in
practically all other forest areas it Is
being cut very much faster than 1t Is
being produced, says Frank A. Waugh
in the North American Review.
That portion of the forest timber
which is being harvested is sold OF
the stump to contractors, who cut il,
under careful regulations, and manu-
facture it into lumber and other com
modlties Sales are made to the high
est bidders and the money received i,
deposited in the United States treas.
ury. These sales now produce a rev
enue of about $2GO0,0O0 a year.
This does not seem a very large
amount when compared with the enor
nous sums paid for lumber by ulti
mate consumers, but in this field more
than in most others the cost of man

WORLDS S. S. CONVENTION.


on Thursday afternoon, at an inter
estng meeting in connection with the
international Bible Reading Associa-
ton, r. l.. Stewart, J. F., of London,
stated that at the end of the first year
of it's existence the association had
registered membership of 1000. To-
day it has nearly one million scattered
throughout the world in a hundred
countries the readings being translat-
ed into forty languages.
One of the best speeches of the af-
ternoon was made by Rev. X. A.
Jansson of Sweden who. speaking in
excellent English, told how the very
first Sunday school in Sweden was or
ganized by a man who was born in
house opposite John KnoX's home in
Edinburgh. He was a poor tailors
son, but became a Wesleyan mission
airy and went to Stockholm in 1880.
Thursday evening the pageant of
the Sunday school was presented, and
it was a great success from the first
This pageant was repeated at Heng-
ler's Circus each evening until June %
There were 500 performers, the greater
part of the circus ring being used for
the spectacle, Behind was a broad
flight of steps leading to a large stage
most artistically draped.
Beginning with early bible history.
we saw Abraham going slowly with
Isaac to the place of sacrifice; we saw
Moses, and we saw the child Samuel
with venerable Eli These pictures
were followed by a great crowd of
Nazarines seeking Jesus, sorrowful-
looking crowd of the blind, thehalt,
and the manned Next came a group
of dancing, cheering children. Later
scenes showed Paul in Timothy's,
house, a catechism class in the cate
combs of Rome, Lollards meeting,
Martin Luther, the sanity Cardinal
Bosromeo, Bishop Comenius, John
Elliot, and other historical figures.
To many of us, the finest thing in
the whole pageant was the representa-
ton of an interrupted meeting of the
brave Scottish Covenanters Up to this
point we had been silent, but loudly
we applauded when this picturesque
and pathetic group of heroic souls in
the mountains gathered for worship
and sang the ancient and almost for
gotten tune, "Covenanters," THE
Lords My Shepherd In this scene a
