Who Should Represent Alaska?

 Is it more important in the Halls of Congress that should be there to represent the white men and women of the Territory who has already made an enemy of a man who may be the next President and who is not rapport with many Legislators and Bureau heads? Is it more inn portant that trained lawyer, thoroughly eogniz- ant of Alaska needs proudly proelaimng Al aska for Alaskans'-meaning the Indians, too who meet Legislators their own ground be sent to Washington when they discussing the needs of the Territory instead of sending back who will not be given a chance if Hoover is elected and who will have difficulty getting hearing if Smith is elected?
 George Grigsby is out for election on the Democratic ticket and has stated his position so clearly for home rule for Alaska; determination our own say so" that immediately pictures representative of people being given grace and serious attention by those who must perforce control destinies until different system is established
 Irrespective of whether the next incumbent lof the Presidential chair is a Democrat a Republican, Mr Grigsby will be given respect full hearing at Washington. Tonight the Seward public will have their first opportunity to see meet and hear him. He will speak at the Liberty Theatre this evening following free show and special music. No matter which way you intend to vote election day it will be worth your while to hear him; and to learn for yourself a few low-down truths

SUTHERLAND AND GRIGsBY AND
 THEIR RECORDS. -

Ii is said that Delegate Sutherland is telling the voters that he secured more legislation dur ing the last two years than his opponent, former Delegate George B. Grigsby got through in the year and a half that he served in Congress. He claims that he was the author of nine measures that passed the gauntlet Of the two Houses of Congress while MT Grigsby got through but five.
 Of course. even the merest tyro knows that legislation cannot be measured by the number of bills that are passed. However, there are other phases of the situation. When MT. Grgsby went to Congress the peace treaty still in process of negotiation. American troops were still in Europe Congress busy with the aftermath of war, and it was impossible for it to give the consideration to other matters, par ticularly to local legslation that it gives in years when affairs proceeding in orderly manner In addition to that, MT. Grigsby fell heir to the Sulzer election contest based upon the 1918 election. The returns from that cleo tion showed tha MT Suzer had by 30 or 40 majority Judge Wickersham Judge Wickersham instituted contest. Mir. Sulzei died and MT Grigsby was chosen at special election to succeed him. He received a very large majority, but title to his seat depended upon the outcome of the contest. He had this to try in addition to his duties Delegate tC Congress
 Under the circumstances the hypocrisy behind 4he little boast of the Delegate that he go through nine bills to MT Grigsby's five is so evi dent that further comment is unnecessary.

Scientific Wizardry.
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 The fame of Luther Burbank will endure, perhaps. for generations. His wizardry with plant life gave to the world tremendous dividends of both profit and beauty. He welded charm and utility in the domain of growing things. Under his magic, patient touch the lowly weed became a thing of loveiness, grew to minister to the needs of man.
 Cincinnati possesses another of these necro- mancers whose love and knowledge bring them close to the secrets which long have been guarded in Natures storehouse of hidden things pr. H. NJ. Benedict head of the Department of Botany at the University of Cincinnati
 Dr. Benedict has long been experimenting with plants in various directions, and has dis covered as a result of his laboratory work at the school method by which plants scientifically may be given moisture which will enhance the loveliness and utility of gardens. Like Bur bank, he weds the principles which sc much to the comfort and joy of life.
 Plants drink heavily, says Dr. Benedict and yet he says, it is impossible for a plant, stem or root to swallow even drop of water.
 They must get their drop of water only after Dr. Benedict ayers that with sufficient and proper Tvaporization tropic plants may be rvaled in Gin cinnat wherever his method may be applied
 The general public will not be greatly in trigued to the method here employed--ths public takes it's miracles matter of course But throughout the length and breadth of ths land the name of Benedict will be blessed ever as the of Burbank is blessed, for that ht has added greatly to the glory of life ant living.

FORGIVENESS FOR SENATOR GLASS.

Those who became incensed at Senator Glass in the platform committee meeting at Houston when he became belligerant and ostensbly a least wanted to fight Senator Tydngs becaus the latter assailed Bishop Cannon, accusing hin of uttering a falsehood and then of compoundinI the falsehood, will forgive him for it all H is now having his run in with Bishop Cannon and these who did not like his attitude at Hous ton are perfectly satisfied with the manner h. is now trimming his erstwhile protege Senate Tydingss castigation was mild in comparison with the way the fiery little Virginia Senate is failing the "cheap politician and the shock ing immoralities' of his trek into the camp of political party.
 In speech at Roanoke Virginia, that vii be famous for its plain speaking, Senator Glas recently said:
 More than a hundred years ago Ed mund Burke declared that "the religionist in politics and the politician in religion equally to human society," Multiplied evidences of this fact abound before our very eyes today. Virginia newspapers recently the recipients of article sent out from Nashville by the Secular Press Bureau of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, broadcasting an authorized statement by Bishop James Cannon, jr., charging tain distinguished Democratic Senators and with betrayal of the Pro- hibition for the sake of purely partisan victory"
 The offensive nature of this utterly false mputaton was not abated by the accompanying assertion that Bishop Can non very highly respected" Senators Robinson, Swanson George and Glass and former Secretary Daniels
 The real significance of the incident is in the fact that it furnishes incon- testable evidence of dragging the Metho- dist Church into partisan politics by ing its agencies for Illicit political pur- poses.
 Upon the testimony of a respon- sible minister of the church l learn that this Secular Press Bureau is maintain ed by funds of the church contributed by the membership generally. It is here used to puryey ecclesiastical de- famation of designated members of the Methodist Church together with hum dreds of thousands of other loyal lay who at the ensuing election will refuse to follow Bishop Cannon's trek into the camp of a political party the shocking immoralites of which but re- gently startled the Nation.
 The literary agencies of the Metho- dist Church, sustained by the contribu- tions of its members, should no more be used to circulate the vituperative aspersion of Bishop in politics than to convey kindred false reproaches by lay men against Bishop of the church.
 In either event the pursuit would be disgraceful. it distinctly is in this It is giving currency to an ac- cusation devoid of every sembance of the truth. It is prostitution of a re- ligipus nstrumentality It is a misap-
