THE MAN WHO WON'T VOTE BECOMES A MAN WITHOUT
 A COUNTRY

The responsibility of the citizen of a republic actively to participate in government was upheld before Missouri members of the Masonic Grand Lodge recently, by retiring Grand Master Mitchell at the one hundred-and-ffth annual convoca- tion of the lodge held at St. Joseph, Mo. "The conscience of the Ameri- can people must again be aroused to the duties of citizenship" he told them. '"This will insure the perpetuity of our present form of government, which has given to us the greatest liberties of any people on earth. The American citizen who neglects to qualify himself to cast an intelligent vote or who fails to cast his ballot ceases to govern himself and becomes a serf, a man without country"

LOCAL POLITICS

'"The so-called Comptroller Bill which has made many phases of administrative work in the terri tory subject to local politics, and was opposed by conservative in terests generally, was defeated early in the session. ."-Pacific Fish erman.
 The Cannery and Trap Men are thanking Senator John w. Dunn for the great service he rendered them in defeating this measure.
 This bill, you see, would have made the Treasurer, Secretary and Attorney General responsible to the People of Alaska, which of course would have been bad, says Senator John w. Dunn.
 Editors note: And after seeing John W. Dunn perform, we are 1n- clined to believe him when he says that the People of Alaska cannot be trusted lon account of politi- clans like Sutherland, Wickersham and Paul." The TRUTH is that John W. Dunn fooled the people who elected him.
