baseless methods. They have Lex 4 Wig

Search for two girls who disappeared
from Mortified Seminary on Wednes-

various reports that the girls had been

N Y. were close friends and last year
roomed together at the seminary. This
year they were placed in separate DOR
mitories, but school authorities declared
this was not a disciplinary action and
expressed the belief that it was not the
reason the girls left the school. They
still held their belief that the girls had
not met with foul play.
The girls were last seen on Wednes-
day night Just before the start of

The Wizard Speaks.
fNew York World. )

There may be various good reasons why the Democratic Party should nominate some other candidate than Gov. Smith in 1928, but the Hon Hiram Wesley Evans, Emperor and Imperial Wizard Of the Ku Klux Klan, does not state them
 in the article he has written for Worlds Work. Gov Smith is unavailable, the Emperor deposes, because he is the champion of "alienism.'
 What is 'al enism?" As Dr. Evans defines It., ''alieaism" consists of being member of the Catholic Church, If tracing ones ancestry back to the newer immigration and of failing to see eve 10 eye with the Anti-Saoon League in the ma1zar of Prohibition Not of these points, we venture to suggest, is indicative of anything alien to the spirit in which this Republic was founded or in the purposes eharted for 1t by it's greatest leaders ever since. There is not line in the Constitution CT word in the debates of those who wrote 1t declaring faith in the Catho- lie Church to be un-American; there is, on the contrary, definite assurance of freedom to wor- ship according to the dictates of one's conscience There is nothing in the Constitution, and nothing in the doctrines of the moulders of this Nation s thought, declaring it to be sin to be born or humble parentage abroad and to come to this country as an immigrant; there is, instead, as surance that America is land of fair play, toer- ance and opportunity. There is nothing in the written or the unwritten laws of the United States which makes it a, crime, or even a mat ter of bad taste, to disagree with any section of the Constitution and to work for its amend ment.
 Dr. Evans has the of a brass monkey to talk of 'alenism He is the spokesman of clique which hides behind a mask and uses the methods of the Mafa.

ALAsKA'S CRIMINALLY INSANE.

By all means let the crimnally insane from Alaska be sent to st.

Nor is 1t enc,imbent on the Pacific Coast States to care for them in their institutions However, it seems a far-fetched argument to alege that these institutions are being oyercrowded by the influx from Alaska. Oniy few such arises within the Territory Most of those adjudged crim finally insane are not Alaskans, but come here from the States Under present methods of pro- cedure persons other than bona ide Alaskans adiudged insane when they taken south are turned oyer to the authorities of the States of which they are residents. The procedure is proper one It is not more than just that each State take care of it's own unfortunates.

Buy Something in America.
(San Francisco Examiner.)


 With the rising of the sun comes Steve Of San Luis Obispo, bringing the latest edition or the Seattle ''Post-Intelligencer," and that news paper, with news of Alaska in big letters, re minds you of interesting and profitable things too far away.
 From the Seattle "P.-I" you learn that it is hard to make mistake when you buy on this continent. Seward bought. Alaska from Russia for eight million dollars The purchase was really engineered plausible way to hand American money 10 certain Russians who need ed it. Sewards Folly" that purchase was call ed. Since this country has owned it Alaska has sent us $366.OOO, ,O00 in gold and $110,- 900, 900 worth of furs. among other things.
 This great traffic from Alaska is enrching Seattle, and the process has only begun Pub fishers are interested in two pulp and paper mills, to be built in Southeastern Alaska to cost more than $10.0000 000 each and produce 300 tons daily. You'll never pick up such bargain as Seward got in Alaska, but buy something in this country. Take care of it and, if you pick wisely, it will take care of you.

Airplane Mail.
Nome Nugget

fNome NugGet.1
 It is gratifying to the people of this section of Alaska to receive mail by airplane even though it is only in while. The airplane has come to stay and will be one of our most important business enterprises henceforth, and we predict that when the next mail contracts are let on star routes of the mail service In Alaska, that many of the main routes will be served by airplanes the year around, carrying all classes of mail matter. At the present time the planes only permitted to carry emer- gency mail consisting of only first class letter mail, but of Alaska would appreciate it if the Government mail officials would stretch point and allow the plane to carry capacity load of mail of all classes between Nome and Fairbanks points.
 The Chamber of Commerce is going to en- deavor to have a Christmas mail by airplane both coming and going. In this way 1t will stimulate business in many ways and give the people a chance to receive Christmas presents and send outside to other parts of Alaska. Plans will be formulated Sunday next when the Chamber meets The shipment of raw furs, gold and newspapers by airplane would be decided advantage not only to those personally interested but to the community and Alaskans generally
