 The best way to do this is that sug- gestion by Dr. Davis-a Territorial Chamber of Commerce.

AMERICAS GREATEST LIVING
 MAN

Luther Burbank is in my opinion Americas greatest living man. He was born in Lancaster, Massachu- setts in 1S49 When a young man he improved on the potato, making it much larger then it originally was. This one improvement has increased the value of the potato crop approx imately r million dollars annually. Since then he has developed a spine food for cattle; type Of white black berry; the grape fruit; and, many new varities of vegetables, flowers, and grasses, all of which help in our daily living His name should De linked with Hoover's in the saving ot the starving millions of Europe as his work has tremendously increased the food supply of the world. Being unselfish and humanitarian he is the truest type of an American and there fore America's greatest living man.

ALASKA FIRST
From Mccarthy News)


 The suggestion of Dr. Davis of San Francisco who has been making ali extended trip through Alaska, that Territorial Chamber of Commerce would be of greater practical beneht, in many respects, than Territorial legislature has possibilities. Dr. Da- wis stated in Ketchikan, according to the Chronicle there is lack of coop eration between the various commun- jtieS.
 No one can deny the truth of this assertion; there is lack of co-opera- ton not only between the coast and interior but between communities ln the same region, whose interests are similar In fact it would scarcely be an eXaggeration to state that at the present time but one or two towns of any size in the Territory, are not engaged in airing their grievances or coveting their neighbours possessions. Such proceedings may be highly in teresting to those concerned and high ly amusing to the rest of the coun- try; but it is hardly the best way to advertise Alaska If we hope ever to gain even a small part of our desires, we must do something so that people travelling through the Territory do not leave with the idea expressed by many others beside Dr. Davis; that lack of cooperation is one of Alas ka's chief ailments.
 During the past year every town has shown what can be done by local co-operation. Because every business man was willings to sacrifice time that perhaps meant the loss of a dol lar or two, and was willing to forget personal grievances, Alaskan towns today have better prospects for sol i'd, substantial development than ever before. The business man has been well paid for his time; his grievances have vanished. Civic pride has sprung up: and the world outside knows that we nave learned the secret of success in our cities
 But however thriving each commu- nity is, there can be on permanent progress for the Territory until local patriotism is subjugated to patriotism for Alaska The day is past when

 Different scientists have worked many years on the development of man and have come to the sure con- clusion that the theory of evolution is the solution of this interesting problem.

that man is a development of, or SUI perior form of animal. This does not deny the existence of Divine Pow CT in the creation and guidance of life. It is merely a question of man and life being created at once by God or slow development of the first single-called organisms, given life by the same God.
 There should be no war between re- ligion and science. Both accept Gods as the Supreme Ruler and Creator Why not let common sense guide us and, combining real religion and true science, do all in our power to forward an ultimate revealment of truth.

THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION

The theory of evo1ut1on is a subject much discussed at the present time. Many years ago people thought this theory quite absurd but today many people believe in it. For they now have scientific proof that man devel- oped gradually from some lower form of animal to his present state. Many churches refuse to recognize the truth of these proofs, but the populace is now beginning to see the probabil-

POLITICS ARE WARMING UP

The political pot is simmering al ready and a good heat will be reach ed before the primaries the last Tues day in April So many good men are offering 10 immolate themselves for the good or the country that t is pug 2ling 10 the average man to pick and choose the best candidate for the Of- flee. So many of the men running are personal friends of a newspaper that it is embarrassing to point to any one man and say he is the best one for the people. Therefore it re- solves itself into supporting those who pay for such publicity, irrespec- tive of personal preference.
 However, we do believe that two men now in the present race stand out above party issues and party lines. They are Captain John J. Fin negan who is a candidate for Ma tional committeeman and Judge Wm. D. Coppernoll, who is making the race for attorney general.
 Both of these men have clean re- cord of many years residence i'll the territory; both are of pleasing person ality, and strong individuality. Both will give the Territory good admin istration if elected They are not po- liticians and therefore are four-5quare They know Alaska, it's needs and it's people.
 Residents Of the Territory will be proud of the record these men will make if elected, and unless such men are placed in office the old political machine will go on and on forever.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE THEORY
 OF EVOLUTION

The theory of evolution does not, contrary to the common belief, con- tradict the existence of God. A per son is not necessarily an atheist if he believes in evolution. The Bible and most scientists disagree on the ques-- tion of how life first originated. The Bible states that man was made of clay and given life by God But evo- lution, on the other hand, declares

heavy freezes Of winter. Fall burning
does not burn clean. but leaves these
punches which get larger and strong
er each year Witness any western
railroad right-of-way where the grass
es are burned in the fall.
1T is our contention that after the
sap has fully receded into the ground
early spring burning would burn
clean We ask then, why will not
spring burning be more effective?' In
the spring all grasses can be burned
because they are dead and there is
no sap to prevent; hence no punches
result We hope that every sports
man will take it upon himself to fight
each year consistently in the advocacy
OF spring burning, thus doing away
with the practice that is each year
starving our birds. In certain sections
more quail are sacrificed by fall burn
ing than are legitimately killed by
gunners."

mented that my name has been sug-
gested in that connection, but | am

with which | am connected are just
starting a new factory which will de
mand my personal and immediate at
tention, and this and other things
make it impossible for me to consider
for governor. 1t is mighty
rice to have people tell me they would

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN
QUICKLY SOOTHED
BY THIS SULPHUR


Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is irri-
tated or broken out with eczema; that
is covered with ugly rash or pimples,
or is rough or dry. Nothing Subdues
fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur preparation
is applied the itching stops and after
two or three applications, the eczema
is gone and the skin is delightfully."- clear
and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
a skin remedy because it destroys the
parasites that cause the burning, itch
ing or Disagreement. Mentho-Sulphur
always heals eczema right UP.
o small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sul-
phur may be had at any good drug
store.
