SELF-SEEKINC POLITICIANS

The above phrase changes meaning with the spokesman. When Stroller uses it, it means those citizens who are opposing the bipartisan Demo- Republicans.
 But do you remember, Stroller, when you held down a soft snap of a job and drew $5,OOO.OO year from this Territory? What did you do for the money?
 Your title was Publicity Manag- CT" and the argument that got you that piece of ''easy money" was that Alaska needed the kind of advertis- ing which you could give her.
 And during the time you were our publicity manager, the population of the whites decreased 25 per cent.
 And you, Johnnie Troy, don't you mourn for the return of the day when you could get all the printing jobs from the court house and the gover- nor's office without submitting a bid?

Sometimes, an Indian who pays the $!' tax to support the "white" schools gets rather foolish notion that he has right to send his own little girl or boy to the "white" school, but he soon learns that his little brown daughter or son is not wanted. Only white children are entitled to use the schools supported by the money from the dirty Indians.
 We have heard that our Governor from New York told the people of Sitka and the American Legion that he would see to it that no illiterate Indian voted in Juneau

 And don't you remember, the sec ond time, you were the only bidder. but your price was considerably low CT than the first price offered by you?
 Tell us, was the difference in the two prices pure graft? or did you lower the price because you loved your country so much that you want ed Alaska to have the difference?

PUZZLING
By Grace E. Hall

By Grace E. Hall How shall I keep My love my own? I have no charms That are mine alone; Others there be Who are doubly fair, With their peach. bloom cheeks And sun-stained hair; Eyes like pansies And pouting lips Touched with the dew That the love-god sips; How shall l battle Against the foe And keep my love? I would like to know. Over and over I think and plan, But I am woman And he is man I cannot tell What his views may be, I only know That he favors me. I worry my heart, But I praise all girls Their peach-hued cheeks And their spun-gold curls; Then he scoffs and says With a lofty air; "They're vixens, all, With their yellow hair!' And I look surprised (While my heart sings high), "No, they are darlings! Then say l; And my blood runs wild With a sweet delight As he snatches me up And holds me tight; And I wonder anew Why he loves me best When I am plainer Than all the rest!

POLICE TO ARREST
 FLAPPER DRIVERS
Captain Brent Says They Lead
 Traffic Law Breakers

The Flapper, who has had all sorts of mean indictments thrown at her, is the recipient of yet another accusation to carry around on her pretty bobbed head.
 "She is the worst traffic law violator in Birmingham" declares Police Cap tain W. W. Brent, head of the traffic department. ~1
 Girls of her type don't pay any. at tention to anything, g,-lights or no lights, policemen or no policemen-and the majority of our trouble on the street corners has resulted from her free and independent ways. I gnIss the inde- pendence stuff is part of her makeup.
 "One of these nice days I am going to have . couple of Flappers arrested just to see if night in rolice court won't teach them a lesson"
 As a whole, however, people are re- specting- the new traffic rules, Captain Brent says, and every day the system works smoother.
 Whereas it used to take two men to handle crowds on the street corners now one can do it satisfactorily" he added.

MT. and Mrs. J. B. Suttle's fs Home Is Damaged ;.

The cracking of burning wood which awakened Mrs. J. B. Suttles, 415 Eighty y-second street, north, Monday morning at 2 o'clock, perhaps saved the lives of herself, her husband and three children.
 Mrs. Suttles aroused her family and while Mir. Suttles carried various ar- ticles of furniture from their burning home she ran two blocks in her night dress to reach a telephone and give an alarm.
 Damage to the house and furnish ings was placed at $550 by Captain Dooley of the East Lake department. He was not able to determine how the fire originated.

CITY WILL ASK SlO0 PER BLOCK
 FOR FRANCHISE
Meeting Of Receivers And Commission Without
 Outcome

If the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company gets it's franchises extended by the city commission it will have to pay for them at the rate of something like $10O city block-and the requested extensions cover more than 175 blocks.
 This was made plain at conference between members of the commission and receivers of the company Monday The conference adjourned without an agreement on franchise prices, or any thing else.
 Compile Data.
 City Engineer A. J. Hawkins was directed by the commission to assemble all available data on the franchise and submit it at the next conference, which may be held before the end of the week.
 City Attorney W. J. Wynn was called in, for advice. He suggested that $1OO a block-certainly no less than that, would be reasonable consideration for the requested extensions.
 Wants Extension.
 The company only asked for exten- sion of the franchises granted subse- quent to the enactment of the state constitution of 1901. Franchises granted prior to that time are claimed by the company to be in perpet1ity,, although there is yet possibility that the city will find grounds on which to contest this claim, according to Mir. Wynn. ss2
 Fate of the Tidewater line was not discussed Monday. Evidently, it was said, the company plans to lift the parent company from it's receivership and leave the subsidiary for the city or somebody else to worry about.

CONTINUE HUNT FOR STRANGLER OF GIRL
Body Of Louise Lawson On
 Way To Home In Texas

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-With the body of Louise Lawson on the way to her home in Walnut Springs, Texas, the police continued today efforts to establish the identity of two men who gained entrance to her apartment last Friday when she strangled in bed. The police now are working on the theory that the murderers were the same two who, claiming to be bootleggers, were refusd admittance by the young wom- ali month ago.
 Miss Charlotte Wakefield, friend of the dead girl, told police of last months visit, which, she said, had apparently disturbed Miss Lawson. The men had shouted through the closed door that they were bringing case of gin, sent by friends. Miss Lawson had a girl visitor at the time and did not admft the pair, but told then she was not expecting liquor and would not re. ceiye it.

GOVERNMENTS
 ALASKAN ROAD
 CHOKED, CHARGE
Coolidge Asked To Probe Morgan And Guggen-
 helm Interests
By RAYMOND CHAPTER Copyright. 1924, for The Age -HeraId)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Presi- dent Coolidge has been requested to appoint an impartial board of inquiry to investigate charges that the Morgan Guggenheim interests have strangled the government Alaska railroad and through political and financial in- fluence. shaped development of the Alaskan territory to their own ends
 This request was made of President Coolidge a few days ago by John E. Ballaine, of Seattle, Wash, who has been connected with Alaska affairs for many years. The President has asked time to consider it. If the President refuses to appoint the board of in- quiry, resolutions will be introduced in the House and Senate looking to an investigation which, it is promised, will reveal state of affairs that will rival the Teapot Dome sensation.
 Two Allegations
 The charges made have many rami- fications but they center around two allegations, namely:
 1. That the Morgan-G uggenheim in- terests have been permitted to strangle the government railroad in Alaska and thereby retard development of the territory.
 ?. That Albert B. Fall, as secretary of the interior, took control of the naval coal reserves in Alaska, and in trodueed policy of leasing simila, to that employed in the naval oil rei serves.
 Ballaine has interested the railroad unions and number of progressives in Congress and they are supporting him in. his fight. He was in Alaska when the late President Harding visited there last summer, and his charges are supposed to have had something to do with the late Presidents switch toward greater conservation revealed in the Seattle speech just before his death.
 Harding Drove Spike
 The Alaska railroad runs between Seward and Fairbanks, about equal to the distance between Washington and Boston, with two spurs about forty miles each running off into the rich coal fields. President Harding drove the last spike in the road last summer. The cost is placed at $56,000,000 by the government, but Ballaine says the actual costs will be $15,000,000 greater when all expenses are included. Bal laine charges that the annual deficit in cost of operation and maintenance Is $1 100000 and that no efforts are

WARRIOR STAYS LINKED TO OLD
 LINE FOR WHILE
Col. Ashburn Unable To Carry Out Plans Now
 Because Of Rates
4wAsHINGroN BUREAU,

WASHINGTON Feb. LA sepa- rate and independent Warrior river barge line system will not be undrtaken at the present time, it is officially an nounced tonight.
 The Warrior and the Mississippi will be operated in the future, as in the past, as a unit, Col. T. Q. Ashburn, in charge of inland waterways navigation, war department, said in an official an nOuncement.
 Capt. John NJ. Tuther, dispatched some time ago to Mobile to take charge of the proposed independent Warrior, will be recalled to Washington, and Theodore Brent, with New Orleans headquarters, will continue to manage the Warrior and the Mississippi.
 During the consideration of the pro- posal to make the Warrior independent, however, plans were devised and adopt ed with the concurrence of shippers in Alabama, whereby the Warrior will be assured a monthly business of 10000 tons, and a monthly reduction of $30,- 900 in losses. Henry F. DeBardeleben who operates coal mines on the War rior, has agreed to ship all coal that he can possibly ship by rail to New Or leduS, anu ludL WHiCn uC CunuOL ohAp by rail will be moved in barges, rented from him by the Warrior enterprise. All-Rail Rate Hurtful
 The necessity of transporting coal because of reduction in the all-rail rate put into effect by the Frisco rail road, has made the transportation of coal on the river unprofitable, it k pointed out Colonel Ashburn made the following
 atement:
 Vi "As a resrit of measures drafted tt tremedy unwarranted lSsses on the War rior river. a plan has been adopted which will not disrupt or alter tn, present organization, but will assur, better, more efficient and economica operation.
 "This plan will be put into effect a, once. The shippers most vitally con cerned have been consulted and, as a unit, have concurred in tre plan. It is assured for the present that the War rior shall have a continuous tonnage of 10000 and reduction of losses from all causes of $30,000 monthly.
 "The people interested in the War. rior may be assured that it is the in- tention of the Washington office to demonstrate conclusively that it is pos sible to reduce losses and at the same time give much better service"
 It is understood that in preparing to make the Warrior independent, Colonel Ashburn ascertained that it would be necessary to negotiate with railroads and the interstate commerce commis- sion for an entire new rate structure. An independent Warrior, however, is his objective, it is explained.
