DO YOU HELP KEEP
THE PRICE DOWN!

Shortly after the war or when
there was a cry for getting
prices down to normal the Amer
lean reduced its subscription
price from $500 to $1.50 per
annum-the price before the
war. This rate can only be
maintained by prompt remit
lance of subscription money
when due. If too many subscrip-
tion reminders have to be mail
ed out in order to get those
small amounts in it increases the
cost of doing business and les
sens the chance of keeping the
price down.
Look up the label on your pa

Mrs. Ernst VI. Mailing.

Another young Askov woman
passed away yesterday when
Mrs. Ernst M. Mailing was called
to the Great Beyond at 11:30 in
the forenoon. inflammation OF
the kidneys was the cause of her
early demise.
Mrs. Mailing had not been in
good health for several years but
it was not until a year ago that
her illness took on serious pro-
portions. In November, 1923,
she became very i'll but fingered
through the winter. In March
she was removed to a Duluth hos
pital and there operated upon for
kidney trouble. She improved
for a while but the last five
weeks was constantly in bed
again, she and her husband hav.
ing moved to the village from
the farm in August that she
might be cared for well by hel
mother. She remained conscious
to the last but was so weak that
she was unable to converse with
those about her the last day.

PARTY LOYALTY
Anchorage Times)

Loyalty to friends, family and country is an essential characteristic of every well meaning person. Loy- alty to party is no less important and governs the great majority. Our constitution gives us the supreme right of independence and any per son can change political faith as he sees fit.. Some change because of val id reasons; this is legitimate; others change for personal gains; this is mot loyalty.
 Alaska has a number of so-called politicians who have switched back and forth until they have no party. They are considered "mugwumps" and are loyal to none.
 One particularly striking incident of an Alaskan "mugwump' is John w. Frame, erstwhile publisher of the Alaska Examiner at Ketchikan John wears coat of many colors'; i; it all depends upon the occasion. He now lives in Ketchikan and claims he is a republican; this is hardly fair to loyal members of the party for he has accepted the faith as a last resort-there are no more par ties left for him to join.
 Facts are facts, and you can't get away from the fact that in 1912 John w. Frame was delegate to the democratic divisional conyen- tion held at Valdez. At this time la controversy arose and he with |drew. In 1916 he and other dis |gruntled members formed what they termed the progressive democratic party. They called conventio-
The Wrangell sentinel., 1924-04-24

which met in Anchorage and nomi mated full legislative ticket. John w. Frame was nominated for the territorial senate on this ticket. The regular democrats and the re- lpublicans each nominated tickets for the legislature. George Dooley Iof Cordoya was nominated for the senate by the republicans and John Roman of Seward by the regular democrats. John Frame canvassed the third division that fall and de- clared that he was a lifelong demo- crat, and he would be democrat to- day if he had succeeded in being elected to the territorial senate at that time. It is needless to say that he was defeated. He tried to break up the party whose principles he had endorsed and supported all his lifetime, and now he is seeking to break up the republican party,
 whose principles he has never en- dorsed, and which party he has nev- CT supported.
 This is not loyalty, but the height of disloyalty, which Is in keeping with John w. Frame, who changes color in the effort to gain personal reward.
 Republicans should know this and govern themselves accordingly at the territorial primary election next month. It is the duty of every self-respecting republican to vote against John w. Frame, not only on account of his acknowledged dis loyalty to the party but his absolute lunfitness to office.

KILLING GAME IN CEDAR NECK

1t would seem that any man with
common sense, or even a moderate
regard for the protection of wild life
in the shape of rabbits, quail or other
birds and animals, would use common
sense by restraining their dogs from
running the fields during the day or
night, in search of the burrows or
nests of the game which the laws
were made to protect
In too many cases the neighbors of
those who offend by keeping dogs and
permit them to range at all times dur
ing the breeding season, have not got
the nerve to report the owners of
dogs so ranging. Their cOwardice en-
cOurages the persons who care moth
ing for anything or anybody, but
themselves, to not exert themselves to
keep their hunting dogs in their home
yards, or chain them on their prem
ises. There are men and women who
wish to comply with the laws and pro-
tect the baby rabbits from falling vic
Tins to dogs and cats that range and
destroy them before they have grown
to sufficient age to be able to care
for themselves.
Mr.. Davis Watson, of Cedar Neck,
wants the game protected, and will
compel others to regard the rights of
all the people, so far as it is possible.
This week he reported to this office, |
that dogs are ranging the woods and |
fields of his farm lands in Cedar Neck, |
and he proposes to shoot such dogs
whenever they are caught in the act.
Those who own dogs will have to take
and keep their dogs off his
or they will fall victims to
heir owners careless regard of the
lights of others.
While riding along the boulevard in
sussex county below Georgetown last
