 President Coolidge in his Williams burg speech gave clear conception of the element of danger contained in the increased power of bureaus.
 Speaking of the campaign, the campaign of the opposition this fall is conducted by the firm of lawyers To- cated in Valdez and Cordova, Dono- hoe and Dimond. That firm happens to be the attorneys for the Alaska Packers association and Northwest Fisheries company, a subsidiary of the Booth fisheries. These men have exerted tremendous influence on the democratic party and had the power to place for nomination man man who had no intention of entering the race in the fall. This was done to pre- vent a man of independent spirit from receiving the nomination. Many militant democrats of Alaska have refused to have their votes trans ferred over to the fish trust or it's at torneys. The propaganda that has been circulated emanates from this source.

large number of citizens, and visitors in the city, attended the Liberty theater last evening where they given the opportunity of hearing the first political address in Seward of the present campaign of Delegate Dan Sutherland republican candidate for reelection As his address proceeded applause accorded him at var times The departure of many people during his ad dress detracted interest to great extent
 L. V Ray, Mayor of Seward introduced DelegateE Sutherland.
 The following speech of MT. Sutherland's is almost verbatim but at times there much noise that it was difficult to hear plainly. In the main, however the ad- dress is in it's entirety.
Seward daily gateway., 1926-09-25

T am here before you, as it is said, . republican candidate fo. delegate to congress. We are now on the eve of another congressional election and I am here to tell you something of what has been accomplished during the past term I was nominated by the republican party of Alaska at the primary election in April by a vote such as would have constituted a ma jority in the election of 1924.
 From year t6 year I appeared be- fore you to explain the work perform ed in congress and at this time want to speak briefly of what has been ac- complished at this session that has just closed. Fourteen measures ap- plicable to Alaska have been passed and signed by the president; these are exclusive of the usual apprOpria- tion bill sand items pertaining to AL aska.
 Of the fourteen bills that passed, I was the author of nine and fourteen measures is an unusual number in a single session of congress. I think a great many more than were ever pas sed at any one session. The Decem- Der session will probably see the pas sage of at least ten other important measures for the territory"
 At this point MT. Sutherland dwell led at considerable length on a few of the bills which he thought would interest the people of this district. namely, the extension of time to com plete the Anthracite railroad to Con- troller bay; a bill to authorize the de- parture from rectangular system of surveying for homestead claims, ano- ther bill provided for the postmasters in Alaska to act as disbursing agents in paying mail contractors; bill to provide for the exportation of timber from national forests or public do- main.
 MT. Sutherland said, "The following bills have been passed the house and should pass the senate in the Decem- Der session:
 "A bill to provide for the insurance of mail matter to the amount of $1 1000 instead of $1O0.
 Another is bill to amend the U. 5. mlnlng law so that It Will conform with the we'll established one of the territory of Alaska It would permit miner to locate two forty-acre claims in each recording district during a calendar month.
 'The appropriations for roads and trails in Alaska this year was $1,420,- 900. When I first went to congress the appropriation was S350,000."
 MT. Sutherland then spoke of the Lowell creek project being replaced on the calendar and that in his opi- nion the proposed Resurrection bay breakwater and the Lowell creek pro- ject should be combined, carried out together. But in this he said engi- neers might not agree with him. It is quite probable these projects will be passed upon in December, he said.
 Coordination is a pleasant sound ing word, but doubt if coordination of bureaus in Alaska can be accom- plished. believe we can progress without the efficiency we hear so

SAVANT OF SKY
NEVER PAID

LONDON, May 25.-Behind the
announcement by Prof. H. H, Tur.
ner, of oxford University, that so
miles above the earth the tenn
perature is tropical, lies a romantic
story of a poor man who has de-
voted his life to science.
1t is revealed that data supplied
by william F.. Denning, a Bristol
accountant, enabled DIR. Dobson and
Professor Lindemann to make this
discovery, which revolutionizes all
previously conceived. theories OF
the upper air.
For 60 years Denning has been
working as an amateur astronomer
at Bristol, and he has gained an
international reputation for his
work on meteOrs. Born in 1848, he
began at II years Of age to study
t. stars.
Denning has discovered five
comets and more than 20 nebulae,
has had over 100 papers printed
by the Royal Astronomical Society
and has been awarded many medals
by various English and foreign
astronomical societies.
He has never received any finan-
cial reward for these discoveries,
and subscription is to be opened
in Bristol and other cities in his
aid.

TOKYO, May 25.--Most japanese
scE1oolboys want to be soldiers while
a majority of the schoolgirls arss
eager to improve the status OF
women in Japan and better the NOR
ais of the nation.
These Juvenile ambitions were re.
Hvealed through a canvass among the
sixth-grade pupils Of the 25 so-called
lower schools in the city OF Tokyo.
The canvass revealed that 27.oS
per cent OF the boys yearned for
military glory.
Another 20.59 per cent merely
wanted to be great men, without
specifying any particular field OF
endeavor: 1889 per cent wanted to
be successful merchants; ZIG per
cent wanted to be famous scholars
and 3.24 per cent aspired to be noted
political leaders.
On the girls side IS per cent
aspired to be great leaders in the
cause of feminine advancement and
moral uplift; 1915 per cent preferred
to be great teachers, and 2.32 per
cent wanted to be dressmakers.
An indication Of the attitude OF the
girls toward matrimony is found in
the fact that only 2.32 per GEN.
asuired to become wives.
