FIRST
Declares Some Members Are

Business Men
By WILLIAM HARD.

:
am moved to discourse for a
while on bunk. Why not?
Who should see more bunk, who
should know about bunk than a
political reporter? And l have
been a political reporter for
twenty-three years.
Out of the wealth of my expert
ence with bunk propose to write
three articles outlining and an
alyzing the best bunk, the out
standing super-eminent sorts of
bunk, in the public life of the
United States.
In the first article I shall adj
miringly describe the sort of bunk
especially favored by the Repub-
licans. In the second article l
shall proceed to the Democrats and
give them my admiration for their
variety of skillful and bold bunk.
In the third article / Ehall devote
myself to the efforts of the Pro-
gressives to out-bunk both old
parties.
Finds Some Sincerity.
1 would not be understood to
mean that there is not sincerity
and lots Of it--in all parties ana
all political factions. Within my
observation there is. and there has
to be. = strong streak of sincerity
In any group that manages to
set ahead at all in politics in the
United States.
Just for amusement, however,
let ug look also for q while at the
bunk and just see how the public
laps il up and gets kidded by 1t
year after year and decade after
decade.
The central little trick of the
Republicans is that they let them
selves on to be the party which
Win deliver the American business
man from the prosecutions and
the interferences and the harrasa-
ments which the Government visits
upon him.
The Republican party il always
. going to be the emancipation OF
private business liberty from pub
lie business tyranny, the deliverer
Of business from bureaucracy, the
Noses and the Joseph about to
lead all the Rotarians and Kiwanls
and Lions and members OF cham
bers Of commerce out Of the desert
Of sociaIistic legislation into the
promised land Of renewed individual
business freedom.
They Believe 1t.
That is what the Republicans
say. and they believe it. One of
the greatest sincerities in politics
% sincerity with which each party
Believes its own bunk.
The Republicans actually firmly
and fervently believe that they in

But do they ever do it? Certainly
not. Never

KNOW YOUR RABBIT.

In life the rabbit is looked upon as a most ordinary species of the animal kingdom but after death he may rise to high dignity, according to the gov ernment biological survey, which has issued warning to purchasers of fur garments with fancy names.
 The poor little cottontail is the source of many wonderful furs, ac- cording to the surveys report, and his modest covering is now sold under the following names American seal, Arctic seal, cape seal chinchilla, clip ped seal, ermine fox, French seal, Northern seal, Polar seal, mouse seal, new seal and a few others.
 Purchasers of furs are urged to be- come acquainted with the texture and other characteristics of the rabbits pelt, so that they may not be fooled by the high-sounding names under which it is now sold to the unsus- pecting public.

Captain A. D. Haverstock, of the U. s. Medical Corps, arrived from An chorage Sunday night, on speeder having a most difficult trip on account of weather conditions along Turna- gain Arm. The Captain left Anchor age late Saturday evening on a small speeder in charge of Gas Mechanic Doyle, in an attempt to catch the Ala meda. They were compelled in many places to cut ice along the right of way, along Turnagain Arm, and were all night reaching Seward, arriving here at 10:30 Sunday morning. MT. Doyle left on a freight train for An chorage, leaving the speeder here un- til weather conditions moderate.
 Capt. Haverstock, who intended leaving on one of the next boats for the states, where he was assigned to duty at the Fitzsimmons general hos pital at Denver, received a telegram from Denver advising him of the death of his wife, and left at once to catch the boat.
 According to local trainmen the trip was one of the worst that could be made over the railroad at this time.

ANOTHER POLITICAL WAR ON.

The affidavit filed by John Frame against Governor Scott c. Bone and other Old-line republicans of the Ter ritory, undoubtedly marks another political war in the Territory waged by the disturbing elements who have heretofore made so much trouble for the Republican party in the Territory. Neither Republican, Democrat or Pro- gressive, this bunch of politicians fit like bees from one flower to another, in an endeavor to land or control the Federal appointments. Like bees they also have their stinger out for all who oppose them.
 These malcontents invariably con- fess a warm admiration for La Fol- lette and his principles, but unlike LaFollette they have no principles to advance. Old line Republicans have long since repudiated the outfit, but find 1t impossible to enucleate the ap- pendiX.
 One thing has been clearly proven in the Territory,-that the present primary system allowing the Territo- rial Committeeman's name to be plac- ed upon the ballot is wrong, and will lead to gross injustice to the Repub- lican party. As the system now works out, the Democratic candidate is named by the National Committee and every democrat turns about and votes for the Republican candidate placed on the Territorial ticket, plac. ing a man very much off color in of. fee.

Millions of U. s. Dollars
 Sent Back From Germany
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Feb. 9-American cur rency went back to the mother coun- try at record rate in 1924. During the imitation period American bank notes and silver certificates and all sorts of other American paper money were hoarded Friends and relatives remitted money to Germany in the form of bills and it was tucked away for a rainy day. While the German paper money was fluctuating so wildly nobody wanted to hold it. Consequently all sorts of foreign trade money was in great demand and American money was the first choice as it fluctuated less even than English pounds
 Now that the rentenmark has been fairly firm for nearly a year and Ger mans have general confidence in it, they are letting go of their foreign money at a rapid rate Germans who hoarded foreign gold or silver are out or luck, as the exchange rate on it is extremely bad. Nobody wants hard money and the quotations on foreign gold coins in small sums is often 20 per cent below the official rate for paper money. Foreign sill yer is an absolute drag on the money market Small moneymakers who will accept it often shave it 40 per cent
