CANNERY MORALE IMPROVED

The general morale Of the can nery workers and fishermen in the Bristol bay region during the past season has been excellent, Seward arrivals yesterday report. It is thought this improved condition re- suited from the precautiontaken in Bellingham, Seattle and San Fran cisco, in the selection of employees, and also from the new regulations in effect last spring. It was stated there was one suicide in the district one fisherman drowned, one man torn to pieces on shafting in can l.cry and that three Filipinos died from poisoning by drinking white raule."

THE TEXAS RED HERRING

The doctrine of race hatred and supremacy of the white race" isl not legitimate political issue nor is it child of real Americanism. The following article from an issue of Golfers Weekly published year we'll answers the political matter put out by the rule or ruin element in the Territory:
 Tn this country an avowed dic- tator would not have Chinamen's chance but a sleight-of-hand man who can awaken some hatred can set away with anything.
 The latent prejudices of the people are the real enemy of de- mocracy.
 Consider in this connection the f'crgusons of Texas. Theirs is an enlightening episode for those who care about this country of ours.
 Mrs. Ferguson got into trouble because large sums of money were paid favored contractors. Similar offenses led to the impeachment of her husband eight years ago. "Old Jim," who is credited with having acted as governor while his wife wore the title, seems not to have harmed enough from his previous Iainful experience.
 The misfortune which has befall- en the Ferguson family is, however much less important than manner in which the people selected their governor. This is important be- cause what occurred in Texas is constantly happening elsewhere.
 Nobody seemed to know and cer- tainly few cared whether or not the quiet wife of a discredited politi- clan was able to administer the state of affairs. Mrs. Ferguson was the nominee opposed by the Ku Klux Klan and the majority wanted to register a protest against the Kan.
 Whatever else an affair of this sort may be, it is not an election. Tn Texas the Klan was a red herring used to divert the voters from the trail toward effective government. This incidentally is not an argu- ment in behalf of the defeated can- didate who may have been less fit for office.
 Mrs. Ferguson is a reminder that voting by prejudice does not as- sure the election of competent off, cials. In politics, as elsewhere, 1acts have to be considered" +s

Surgeon General Hugh s. Cum ming, of the United States Public Health Service, in his capacity of Director of the Pan American Sani- tary Bureau, has been advised by the Director of Health of the Re- rublic of Mexico, that new sani- tary code has been adopted by the N exican authorities and has been put into effect
 Included in this code is pro- viso inserted by the Mexican authorities requiring stringent smallpox vaccinations. Under this section, all persons residing in Mex ico, or entering Mexico, must be raccinated while those having per- manent residence in the country must be revaccinated every five years.
 In addition children must be vac Cinated against smallpox before tl.ey are four months of age, the responsibility for failure to com ply with this regulation resting with the parents or guardian. The responsibility for vaccination of en- rloyes of factories, ranches, and other places having large groups of working people under the code, is placed upon the employers or su- perintendents of these plants.

ILLITERATE VOTE

John Oscar Harris was passing out Tom Marquams election cards a short time ago. When he was asked why he was passing the out he replied: Long ago he was my friend. I got in trouble and he was my lawyer and he got me out of Jail. When he saw me he was glad. So he gave me his card and he told me to give some to the na- tlves around here and tell them to vote for him.
 Illiterate votes are alright ii they would only vote for the Mar auam for independent club dele gate. We cannot understand why the Indian vote is dangerous when it stands for principle and not prin- clpal.
 In the meantime John Oscar Har- ris went and talked it over with some one not an Indian and he came and told us he had found out all about him and that he would not pass out any more of his ca1ds"

AGREEMENT ON
REDUCTION BILL
NOW I'm PROSPECT
BREACH OVER INHERITANCE
TAX MEASURE CAUSES TEN.
PORARY WITHDRAWAL OF
HOUSE DELEGATES
inv Associates Pressl


WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Despite
serious breach over the inheritance
tax which resulted in a temporary
withdrawal of house delegates yes
terday, am early agreement between
house and senate on the tax reduc-
ton bill was in prospect today.
Demanding restoration of the In
-heritance levy which was approved
by the house but stricken out by the
senate, the house conferees met de-
termined opposition at their confer
ence, and when an impasse developed
they walked out. Differences were
sufficiently readjuste6 within an hour,
however, to permit continuance OF
the conference, although no decision
was reached before night as to the
final status of the tax.
II remained the main stumbling
block today, but the fact that the con-
ference was resumed after the break
up, was taken as an indication that
some settlement was imminent.
Restoration to the bill of taxes
netting s125, 100000 which the SEN
ate repealed, also is demanded by the
house, but some compromise on these
is looked for.
Final action by the conferees, now
on their fifth day of work on the bill,
is confidently expected by leaders be-
fore the end of the week, in time to
permit the bill to become law by the
middle of next week.

VINING HARRIS TO MANAGE
CAMPAIGN.

A committee composed of Capt.
Clark d. Stearns, chairman, and
Judge j. Vining Harris has now been
appointed by the Arthur Sawyer
Post of the American Legion to han
die the local division of the drive for
funds for financing the Florida ex-
hibit at the SesquicentenniaI Inter-

delphia. .
At the last meeting of the Post,
the question of assisting the state

Captain Stearns and Judge Harris
were appointed, and a third member
to be chosen by them.
1t is the sense of the motion, writes
Row E. Faulkner post adjutant, not
to have a campaign covering the en-
tire city. but for the committee to
approach the Chamber of Commerce.
the. county commissioners and the
citv council and to endeavor to Sc
cure the city's quota from them. In
this manner the whole community
will pay its share and not just few.
The post has not been advised as to
its quota.
At the Jacksonville conference of
the department executive committee,
post commanders and adjutants, a
resolution was passed to the effect
that the Legion of Florida would
raise 100000 for the purpose of
giving the state of Florida an ade-
quate "All Florida" display at the
Sesquicentennial. The week of Feb
ruary % has been set aside for putt
ing over this project for the state.
There will be FLORIDA Pa,ace''
at the exposition, and all space sold
to the individual exhibitors shall be
approved by the Florida State Cham
Der of Commerce, under whose super
vision it shall be placed. This state
display will cover 28,940 square feet
of space and will be representative
of the entire state of Florida, show
ing its resources, industries and other
assets on one large composite ex-
hibit as they apply to the state.
The FLORIDA Palace" as projected,
is to be of the Spanish type, with an
open court in the center, where there
win be a pool, surrounded by palms.
Captain Stearns said that it is de-
sired to have Key West well repre-
scented at the exposition during the
period of six months that it viii run.
