HUNDRED MAIL-BY-FREIGHT CAUSES CONSERVATION
 THROUGHOUT TERRITORY

A great deal Of consternatinn has been voiced over rumor aOcoad along the Alaskan coast that the government has recommendation in hand from d postal inspector, who .ecently returned to the States from a trip through the territory to re- yer; 10 the freight method of hand ling mails. The proposed change, if effected, will go into operation the first of January.
 Under the freight method of op erating. all mail clerks would be eliminated from the system; the mails would be closed earlier than at present, no opportunity be given for putting late letters on the steamers.
 Aside from these changes a great hardship would be wrought in part upon workers in Alaska's leading industry, the crews in the canner- ies where no post office is main tained. Under the present ruling mail clerks are authorized to leave mail at such places where people for whom mail is addressed are known to be-; which of course would be impossible If the suggest ed change were enacted.
 The matter will come up for dis cussion at the meeting or the Wran- gell Commercial Club next Monday at the regular weekly luncheon. No definite statement can be made as to what action the club will take. but 1t is not improbable that pro- tests against reyerting to an old in- efficient method will be mailed to the postal authorities.

The President Strikes at the
 ku klux klan

OMAHA, Neb.. Oct. 7.-The out standing portion of President Cool idge's address before the American Legion convention was direct strike at the ku klux Klan. The President was loudly cheered as he denounced all intolerance. Amid the cheers of thousands of veterans President Coolidge fearlessly struck direct at the ku klux klan in de- nouncing racial and religious intol- erance in his speech to the National Convention of the American Legion
 The President urged preparation for peace rather than war and said America was never more secure in her history. The highlights of his address were :
 Tt is not easy to conceive of any thing that would be more unfortu- nate in the conn unity based upon ideals which Americans boast than the development of intolerance as regards religion. Immigrants and sons of immigrants fought side by side with those from countries which were allies with Sons of Africa. Whether one traces his Am ericanism back thre centuries to the Mayflower or three years back to the time he came into the country in the steerage is not half so im- portant as whether his American ism of today is real and genuine. l recognize the full and complete necessity of 100 per cent American ism but one hundred per cent Amer icanism may be made up of many various clements. Divine Proyi- dence has not bestowed upon any race a monopoly of patriotism and character.
