ANDRE MAUROIS ON PROHIBITION IN
 AMERICA.

Andre Maurois the brilliant French author and student of history and times. who won fame with his wonderful biographies of Shelly and Disraeli, has made a critical tour of the United States and recently contributed article on our Prohibition, which he says, most others have said and nearly all know, does not prohibit M. Mauros is a very strong advocate of temperance. He does not drink except wine occasionally and that usually with his dinner He admits that the evidence he gathered in the United States convinced him that there is less liquor drunk in this country now than in the days before Prohibition
 But he says there is much less liquor drunk in France than the case a half-dozen years or ago. He says drunkenness has all but ceased to be problem in that country and has completely disappeared from most sections This changed condition in France has been brought about without the aid of legislation Temperance advocates have depended wholly upon education and persuasion. The only liquor that is barred by legislation is absinthe
 M Mauros says that while not so marked as in France there has been a pronounced dim mutton of the drink habit in England--due to education and persuasion
 He is convinced that this is matter about which the people will refuse to be forced He thinks Prohibition is wrong in principle and does not work fer real temperance However in- asmuch America has adopted Prohibition. he thinks the people would be content if they could have beer and wine restored That he says, would satisfy the self-respect of the people and lay foundation for the return to cam paign of education and persuasion which would bring far better results than the Prohibition laws and the force that has been placed behind them.

INDIANS HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY
 THEIR LEADERS.

The Indians and other fishermen have been voting for Mr. Sutherland and MT Paul for eight years upon the constantly renewed promise that the situation would be made better for fishermen. Instead of that it is worse.
 MT. Sutherland and MT Paul have not only failed to keep their promises to abolish fish traps but they have abandoned that cause, though there has been withdrawal of the promises heretofore made. It is openly charged, and not denied, that Mir. Paul took a bill to Washington at the instance of cannery interests that would give the eanneries leasehold titles to their trap sites.
 All that has been done with reference to the fisheries during MT Sutherland's incumbency has been to place them under the absolute control of single man, the nonresident head of a Washington bureau And the bill authorizing this disposition of the fisheries would have been adopted if it had not been that MT. Suther- land supported the measure.
 The fact is, the fishermen of Alaska have been betrayed by those in whom they have placed their trust.
 If Mr. Grgsby is elected Delegate to Con gress he will devote the best of his fine abilities to have the control of the Alaska fisheries placed in the people of Alaska where it belongs

KETCHIkAN CANDIDATE FOR
 REPRESENTATIVE.

'Who is J. s. Ream. the man who is running Tor Represen ntative?' a question frequently heard up until MT Ream visited in this end of the Division short time ago People of the north end of Southeast Alaska since that have met MT. Ream and the verdict is that he is a live wire and frst-rate fellow who would make an excellent member of the Legislature. He knows Southeast Alaska and he has the ability to translate his knowledge into definite action.
 MT. Ream is pioneer of Ketehikan where he was in the mercantile business for many years and where he has served the people on the City Council He is popular in his home town where he takes live interest in public matters and where he is regarded man of fine ability and sound judgment--one of those with a large fund of what is known horse sense

 Women are supposed to have a copyright on modesty. but it's dol lars 10 doughnuts that if a man felt his trousers slipping he'd blush more than girl would if she felt her skirt letting go-notwithstand- ing he'd probably be a heap better protected underneath.

Bringing Home the Bacon.
Steward GateMay.l

Babcoek and Downey, partners in the rich Nuka Bay property that is beginning to write mining history arrived in Seward the ether night with 12 pounds more of gold to add to the 20 pounds that they brought in about a month ago, the cleanup from their little "coffee mll' from taken from their surface showings And when say POUNDS of gold we mean just that F. It means 37 pounds of gold since they started their little mill late in June with only two or three men taking out the rock along the outcrop. The finds of these partners have spurred up other development in the district and several new finds are reported It appears likely that Alaska is to have a new hardrock camp of exceptional magnitude and richness.
