DIMOND AND DUNN LIVE UP
 TO FEDERAL MACHINE

Unable to keep the federal Political Messenger Boy on the
 ob, Senators Dim0nd and Dunn, opponents of Home Rule and Full Territorial. Government, in 5roduced a bill which puts into 5ne full control of the federal governor the entire school sys- 5em of the Territory Giving 1im power to hire. and fire any Commissioner for ANY reason regardless of his qualifications.
 Putting school boards expend- ng municipal funds under the control of the Commissioner of Education and domination of the federal brigade of tranSitory rulers of Alaska whose greatest investment in Alaska is in lead pencils.
 There is not one bit of doubt that the desire of the Diparti- lan machine in Juneau is to fire 8reur, successor to the depos- ed Henderson just because he was not named by the federal Democratic machine" " We hold no brief for MT. Breur. Know nothing of his qualifications. But if he plays fair with the people of the Territory, he will leave with more wellwishes of the electorate than did Tender son. Aside from the wailing federal sychophants, Tender sons leaving is not bringing so many tears from the general public. Not so much as the fed eral by-RepUb-Demo press would
 lave thought.

where do the Washington heads of departments get heirt instruc- tionS?

Do you know that the towns of Southeast Alaska are missing a chance to fix themselves for a future in the matter of Public Parks? The procedure is to file for a homestead on the desired land-and be a little stubborn in reIinquishing your claims. This will result in the land being de- clared by the Forestry service as being set aside for park and playground purposes. (See Pen n.y." Petersburg Creek.
 Every town ought to be able to rustic up a few public spirit ed citizens for this purpose. Els pecially if the parks were named in their honor. Better step up now, and avoid the rush.

WITH THE HEROIC DEAD

A place has been reserved for humble Jim Parks in the great Valhalla, where Americas dis tinguished dead lie. Uncle Jim, an 84-year-old negro, will be buried in Arlington National National Cemetery when he dies. There he was born.
 No other man, so the records show, outside of the army and navy, has been so honored in this day and generation. The War Department has entered a formal order that Uncle Jim be buried in Arlington. His fore fathers lie there, too.
 Uncle Jim's years are upon him, but he may be found almost any day at his tasks in Arling- ton. He knew the 1100-acre re- servation when it was an ante bellum plantation. He was a slave there, the property of

JOBLEss IN FRANCE, 1855 Total Is One of the Smallest Re corded in Country Since War

. With Great Britain, Germany aud the United States all re- porting out-of-Work armies of 100000 or more, considerable interest is attached to the off, cial figures of the aggregate number of persons unemployed throughout France on March 16.
 : The number is now reduced to the amazing low figure of 1895, of whom 264 are women. This is one of the smallest totals in the history of the postwar industri- al life of France and is regarded as an excellent indication of the present widespread prosperity. The bulk of unemployed, HAS, were in the Paris district. For the week ended March IS the number of foreign workers per- mitted to enter France was l. 653, while $50 left the country.
 Editors Note The unemploy- ed in Alaska alone is greater than the above in spite of the great improvement in trans portation which Governor Parks says is proof of our prosperity.

TWAS ALWAYS so

The Juneau Empire, Stroller's Weekly, the Hocus Pocos By-par- tizan party and the Federal Bri- gade are being forced to show down at the Legislature at Ju- neau.
 In the campaign of last No- vember these political chamele- ons promised the electorate full territorial form of government" and release from the domination and rachinations of the buric rats which infest the Territory.
 All of them, from the Govern or down through to the weakest kneed sister, they are opposed to any change which will give control to the people through election. They oppose the Con- troller Bill and no doubt will kill it but they are willing to elect an Auditor, etc. They are all absolutely in favor of any meas ure of Home Rule which they know they can't get. Some of them have PECULIAR notions and our notion of their campaign pledges can be expressed in a short and ugly word.

the Alaska Railroad has recently been assigned by contract with the government to the Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Com pany of Everett, Washington.
 The Forestry Bureau, ,dominat- ed by the Timber Kings of the Coast will continue to give away timber holdings until there is nothing to give. The resident timber men and sawmills will continue to scratch along under the worst kind of handicaps and the overlords continue their domineering misrule of Alaska until there are none left to dom ineer over save the Indian. And are just so ignorant that they want to know Whats the matter with Alaska.

SETTLING THE NARROWs

We have been told that "If the Foshay interests buy the muni- cipally owned hydro-electric, they will develop and build up all along through the NarroWs.
 How?
 "Mack" McGiltin secured per mission from the Forestry bugs to log in the NarroWs for wood purposes. Incidentally after he cleared a nice piece of ground, planted it in seed and cultivat- ed for several years, he asked the Department to give him title to forty acres.
 They told him it could not be done. But if he wished he might make application under the g. acre tract law. He did. Was then told permission could not be granted. Getting rather peev- ed and expressing himself in no uncertain terms as to what he thought of the Department

BEANS HATH MUSIC

A recent issue of Popular Mech anics reports that a woman heard music emanating from a mess of beans she was stirring on her kitchen stove. It would have been possible, says the writer, in the opinion of engin- eers, for the hot air alone to have reproduced the music. The old sourdoughs can now lay off purchasing radio sets and invest in a sack of Alaska strawber- rieS.

POWER TRUST LOSES BATTLE

Hydro won another Skirmish n the battle of Bruce County, OttoWa. It is really a struggle to determine whether the Power Trust or public ownership shall dominate that part of the pro- vince.
 The FoShay interests of Min neapolis represent the trust. They have been endeavoring to grab electric light plants thru out Bruce county. Last weeks fight was at Southampton and the people, by a vote of 228 to 194, decided to purchase the To- cal plant for S33,0O0 and become a part of the Hydro.
 The trust immediately appeal ed to the courts for an injunc- ton, but nydro's supporters are confident they will not be able to reverse the peoples decision.
 With Southampton in it's fold, the Hydro seems assured of su- Dremacy turnout Bruce county. LABOR, Washington, D. c.

GOVERNOR FAVORED BILL

Governor George A. Parks, in a statement to Senator Ste2i e. pressed himself as bei-l1 l. E@- vor of passage of the Con -9llcr Bill provided the governor were named as one Of the Board. He later expressed the same opinion to Representatives Winn and AL len Shattuck.
 4 Change Of Heart
 Harry Watson, secretary to the governor, jockeyed around and secured the promise of ten votes fro Inthe House and three from the Senate for position as Auditor. The Senate spiked his ambitioa5 by amending the bill and eliminating any person con- nected with the federal payroll less than 8 year prior to the passage of the act.
 All reports from Juneau now are that Governor Parks is bend ing every effort to kill the bill.

FREE SPEECH, LTD.
By Forrest Bailey


 The tyranny of majorities naiorities works like any other tyranny. On an assumption of infallibility, the majority holds a given opinion or supports 8 given system is no respector of dissenting minorities It tends }lWays toward the enforcement 0f conformity. The harsher it's measures to that end, the more damaging is the effect on the tbeTtieS of minorities. It fol lows that the struggle to main ain our liberties is 9 struggle against preponderant power. Tn +2ociety at large or in smaller groups it is struggle for dis .ent and the new idea for the new or different state of things as against ancient conformities and the status quo.
 The most significant thing that has happened in Western Pennsylvania, apart from the Brutality of the police, the 'oreaking up of lawful meetings of strikers and the restrictions on free speech, is the employ nent of the injunctive process in behalf of the operating com 0anies. The Schoonmaker in function, issued to the Pittsburg T e rmina Coal Corporation, makes effective picketing impos- &ible. It prohibits the United Mine Workers from eXpending monies to keep families in com pany houses by paying their rent, when ejectment proceed ings are started against them The Langham injunction, issued 10 the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation, is similar but harsher in it's restrictions. In both cases this judge made law is based on the theory that to give support to coal strike is to enter into a conspiracy in re- straint of trade. The anti trade monopoly provisions of the Clayton and Sherman Acts are thus converted by the sophistry of judges into a weapon to use against workers. .
 A thorough-going radicle her. esy may even prove to be suffi- cient ground, as a certain recent tragic event has shown, for sending aliens to the electric chair without their having fair opportunity to prove their inno- Cence of the crime charged against them. Monstrous ab- surdities are perpetrated in the name of patriotism. A small boy was. taken from the custo- dy of his parents because their religious tenets forbade him to salute the flag A young man was arrested in. New York and fined by a jocular magistrate because he failed to take off his hat while the Star Spangled Banner was being sung in honor of Colonel Lindbergh.

PRESERVE OLD CHAIR

More thought is given the pre- servation of a chair in which Jefferson Davis sat than in the preservation of the principles of government set forth by Thomas Jefferson. The American people are drifting so far away from those principles of liberty, jus tice and right for which their forefathers died that it is be- coming joke even among themselves.

BEAN GROWERS WARNED or
BEETLE INVASION

While the early planting Of market
and garden beans in the State in most
cases matured before the first brood Of
the Mexican bean beetle larvae reached
sufficient size to do any damage to
them, later beanlplantings are going to
be injured considerably by the second
brood of these destructive insects, it is
declared by P. D. Sanders, warning all
growers, truckers, market gardeners
and home gardeners of the State to
take every precaution to check the
inroads of this second brood of beetles
which are appearing now. BY care
fully cleaning up old vines, following
a systematic busting or spraying sche-
dule, much can be accomplished to-
wards preventing this damage, it is
declared.
Therefore, as a first step toword
combating this invasion, it is advised
that all early bean plants be plowed
down as soon as the crop is harvested
so that ali stages of the insect that may
be on the plant can be destroyed.
This is an important step since these
Insects, when mature, migrate to other
paintings very rapidly.
Secondly, spraying or busting as
soon as the adult beetles appear in
considerable numbers in the bean fields,
the applications being repeated eight
or ten times until the bean pods have
formed into snap beans or the infes-
tation is cleaned up on the lima beans.
For busting, either a 2O-20-60
copper-arsenate-lime dust or IA
magnesium-arsenate-lime dust may be
used with success. However, the
former dust has the advantage of being
control for many different plant
diseases and hence is good Gall round
dust for the farm. 1t may be used on
potatoes, tomatoes, cantaloupes, Gu
cumbers and melons, and has been
found beneficial in the case of lima
beans having mildew or leaf spot.
For spraying, either magnesium
arsenate solution, one pound to fifty
gallons of water; or calcium arsenate
spray, one pound to 1920 Bordeaux
mixture will prove satisfactory if good
machinery is used.
