 IS INTERESTING STORY

Jackie Coogan, that mysteriously gifted child, has brought to the screen new characterization which 1 marks the dividing line between the young genius babyhood and boyhood. The news of the shearing of Jackie's lccks was doubtless attended by the tears of his millions of feminine ad- mirers but they need have no cause for apprehension-Jacki Coogan is not lost to them. The tonsorial met amorphorsis of Jackie Coogan is a radiant surprise as you will see at the Liberty theatre tonight, where 'Jonny Get Your Hair Cut" is on for tho first time.
 The counselors of JaJckie Coogan could have selected no finer vehicle for this priod of Jackie's career than Gerald Beaumont's vivid tale of the turf. The story follows faithfully the origin of the author which appeared in national magazine a short time ago. Nothing important is left out and nothng added that lacks in per tinence and direct value.
 The story that of an orphaned son of an erstwhile trainer of thor orghbred race horces. On the death of his father the youngster makes l his way across the country in a horse c2r 10 the California tracks where ha tries to obtain a position as an 1 apprentice jockey.

PREsBYTERIANs NOT IN POLITICS.

The Stated Secretary of the Presbyterian Church, in a church letter. has written that the Presbyterian Church is not in politics any denominational controversy. The letter asks Presbyterian cergymen to refrain from discussing the present political campaign in their pulpits. and urges all Presbyterian bodies not to endorse any nominee for President. It goes further. and asks those Presbyteries that have endorsed a candidate to rescind their action
 That is fair and manly and Christianke. And it emphasizes the pleasure that feels when he recalls that pr. Henry Van Dyke, who has led the fight for religious freedom and labored hard and eoquently and to good effect with voice and pen against the intrusion of the churches in the political campaign, is Presbyterian.
 The Presbyterian Church is democratic (note the little "dO as well religious and it does not usually. try to ncite mass action by it's members, who are generally speaking, inclined very strongly toward indydualism.
 It was probably due to the circumstance of the indiyidualistie tendency of the Presbyterian Church that five out of the six Presidents that belonged to that church-seven if we include Lincoln who. while not member, is usually classed Presbyterian, because he affiliated with that denomination-were Democrats: Jack son, Polk, Buchanan. Cleveland and Wilson The other Presbyterian Benjamin Harrison

More OF Less True

Equal rights may yet come to mean no wife shall have to make her own clothes unless her husband makes his own, 100.
 A woman may know what she wants when she goes into a store but she always will insist on seeing all the things she doesn't want before she'll buy what she does.
 Having q homely daughter has it's advantages-it enables father to use the telephone whenever he wants to and mother to get all the sleep she needs.
 Still, the tired old lady hanging to the strap is probably used to standing, for she doubtless is the bride who stood with her hand on the shoulder of the groom, who was. comfortably seated, while the was being taken.
 The reason we know girls hate for men b look at their legs is be- cause they wear skirts that hide them like a clear sky does the sun.
 What has become of the old fashioned man who used to brag about his wife's cooking.
 Now and then you run across a husband who seems to think his wife only used to wear pretty clothes to catch him. and now that she has him, she doesn't want or need them any more.
 Women spend more time and money on their hair than they ever did, and we reckon the hair that thought it was going to be neglected when it was bobbed got a pleasant surprise-and another one who got a surprise was the gent who foots the bills for the attention it is getting. but it was not pleasant.
 The present styles were not de- signed for either modest or skin ny girls-but the modest ones are bearing up under them a heap bet ter than the skinny ones.
 A good many flappers wear skirts half way to ankles, three inches above the knee being about the distance between the waistline and ankle.

Read and Digest This Please.
Seward Gateway

The people of Alaska at the coming election have before them a Republican ticket headed by the incumbent and a Democratic ticket head ed by Mr Grigsby. Our primary law makes the placing of third ticket in the field so difficult to prevent it. It accomplishes thereby exactly what it designed for by the great lawyer and politician who wrote the same.
 Net going into the merits of the individual candidates at this time and their fitness for office want to draw attention how they became the nominees of their parties for the offices they candidates for.
 The Republican ticket at the primary was selected from a limited number of names placed on the ballot by self appointment. The rank and file not given opportunity to ex- press their idea of whom they would like nor were the more active members in line with the powers that be, given opportunity to express their views.
 We venture to state that were it possible to have third ticket in the field as it was before the present primary law some of these names would not be on the G. o. P. ticket. We know that some of these Republicans are op- posed to everything the Republican Party has stood for and still stands for.
 The Republican Party has no platform ob- ligating their candidates in Alaska to any definite policy on any of the local or National questions
 On the other hand the Democratic Party or Alaska have selected their candidates by di- visional caucus followed by Territorial con vention held in Seward. They come before the people of Alaska with the names of men carefully selected for their respective offices Therefore standing upon platform which obligates them if elected to work for such economic and politi- cal betterment as the Democratic Party in Alaska believed to be best for the welfare of the people of Alaska and submitted to the people for ap- proval November G.
 Every voter should carefully read this plat form before going to the polls
 Every independent voter inclining to the principles of the G. o. P. should at this cleo ton in Alaska vote the Demoratic ticket as a rebuke to the would-be leaders of their nartv who actually have assumed dictatorship over the Republican Party in Alaska; repngnant to Americans and against the true principles of a free American Democracy

MIR. GRIGSBY'S SPEECH.

George B Grigsby persented the issues of the present campaign in Juneau about as strongly as it woud be possible to do The whole proposition is summed mp in the question Mr. Grgsby put to his Juneau audience:
 Do Alaskans want to govern them
 selves administer their domestic
 affairs and control and legisate for their
 resources?
 Mr Grigsby made it very clear that if the voters answer that question in the affirmative they must vote for him. He said that he was running platform that strongy favored self-goyernment and that he personally favored it, and he unequiyocally promised if elected that he would work for self-goyernment with all the ability at his command. On the other hand he showed by the record that Mr. Sutherland does not favor self-goyemment and admits it. He made it plain that Mir. Sutherland in all his years in Congress had done not a single thing, and had tried to do nothing, to add in the slightest degree to the power of the Territorial Legislature 10 extend in the least the scope of the Territorial Government.
 MT Grigsby also proved from the record that MT. Sutherland despite his denials, had in off cal statements classed the Republican Presi- dental candidate with grafters, trieksters and thieves.
 That MT. Sutherland, under the circumstances could be of no assistance to the people of Alaska even if he knew enough to be of assistance, in the event of MT. Hoovers election is plain that there can be none to question it.
 On the other hand if Gov. Smith is elected MT Grigsby, being personal and political friend of the Governor and of scores of the Governors friends, would be in position to do for the people of Alaska than any Delegate that ever has been sent to Congress from the Territory.

PREACHING AND PRACTICING ARE
 DIFFERENT

The Rev. pr. Arthur Wakefield Staten famous New York Unitarian minister, pastor of the West Side Unitarian Church on Cathedral Park way, in sermon advocated the election of Gov. Smith for two reasons: (1) It would settle the war between Catholicism and Protestantism by proving that there is in the United States for both if they will only be tolerant and neigh bory and it would further, he said, break down in part the often proclaimed unwritten bar against Catholics, Jews and women for the Presi- dency. % It would lead toward solution of the great American dilemma Prohibition which he insists has not worked out as it's authors had hoped He condemned the mixing of politics and religion and declared the churches ought to stay out of politics.
 Very well. But not the learned Doctor violating his doctrine by mixing politics in his religion?

RAVISHING ENGLAND'S
 COUNTRYSIDES.

England is having her troubles with vandals including motorists, who accused of destroy. ing plant life along the countrysdes The addi. tonal charge of lazness and carelessness is made against the motorists for leaving behind refus, and litter at stopping places. The matter was recently considered at a meeting of the British As soeiation in London which referred to it as { ''disgusting scandal" The Manchester Guardian discussing the situation, said:
 Among the minor revelations brought to light at the meetings of the British Association was the fact that there is much depreciation of rare plants going on in the country A committee of the Botany Section Of the Association which has been Investigating the mat ter desires, remedy local by laws that shall prevent hawkers dig ging up these plants for sale, and shall
 apply especially to motorists who strip the country "untl it has become disgusting scandal" It is plan that will have hearty support. and such by- laws could well be made wide enough in their scope to cover the nuisance of the picnic litter In this respect the motorist ofends much as anyone It would appear that he needs to be taught not only the rules and courtesies of the road, but the courtesies of the country Si

Intereetina Information

A fashion article in a New York paper says the new nightie for the ladies will be a two-piece affair, coat, sleeveless and not much, the skirt pleated and reaching only down to the knees.
 Looks like the poor things who suffer with cold feet and have been in the habit of wrapping them up in the long gowns will have to spend their winter in Florida. or at least take hot-water bottles to bed with them.
 This also is bad news for hus- bands whose backs are used as a substitute for hot-water bottles.
