Al.VSK.V_N ISSUES
One bir Issue to be decided by
the Alaska people this coming fall
is. who shall be aent back to con
gress to represent and x'ight for the
Territory. Who will be the logi
cal person to properly watch over
cur iuterefts'.' Who is the best
titte-* to justly represent capital
at.d labor, seeking to get legisda
tion passed which will place both
on a firm foundation and at the
same time not encrouch. ui»oii the
rigiit.-. of 'he individual?
Two men are running for the
elective office. One has had years
of experience and knows the con
ditions which exist in Alaska. The
ether has had little experience
the framing- of laws and looking
out for 'he welfare of the Alas
ka people. Tie present incum
bent, it mast be admitted even by
his opponents, has always been
aler» to advance Ala>ka as far as
he possibly could in th*> w rid of
ariairs. He ha^ stood by the Al
H-ka people, with, a firm faith in
the territcry and its people, fight
ins for just legislation and devel
opment of the Territory. He has
alwiys steed with the side of Just
ice regardless of the cests. In
short, he has been a man of ac
cumplishmcnts ar.d during his of
ficial term at congress, Alaska has
f >r£ed farther to the front than at
any c'hPr time in its history.
In view of these facts it is only
jus- and proper that he should be
returned to again represent the Ter
ritcry at the next session of con
gress. Svrely the Alaskan voter
will not b» side tracked by indefin
ite statements and accounts of
political combinations when it
Is so easy to get at the real
facts in the case. Theofficial state
ments of the candidate before com
mittees, cu the floor of the house
and hi3 public statements shows
th.it he is a man of action, a man
of accomplishments and that he Is
sincere in his statements that "Al
aska should be for Alaskans."

W. L. STEVENSON, Pres.
Helping the Congregation.
The following notice was recently ei
hibited In a certain large church:
"The service on Suuduy morning Is

ten minutes later is a mistake.
"Tonne men are not excluded from

"Why that hospital Is so popular
beats me. It hasn't the best system,
and it certainly hasn't the most suc

"But It has the prettiest nurset."—

Avoiding Discussion.
"You must give .vour wife credit for
Snowing as much about the political
situation as you do "
"That's what 1 want to do." replied
Mr. Growcher "I want to give her
credit for about everything without
putting her to the trouble of explaining
a single word."- Washington Star
Girls and Giggles.
"Beware of the girl who giggles.'
says a social settlement worker.
Social settlement workers, who have
exceptional opportunities for meeting
many kinds of people, may actually
know of girls who don't giggle.—New

"Ah"* chortled the bore. "1 thought
I should find you somewhere, and"—
"Yes," snarled old Festua Pester; "I

"I think." remarked the brlndle fac

Very Lucky Escape.
"Bomb throwing," says an English
writer, "like many other aspects of
war, has Its humorous side, and 1 have
seen a whole trench helpless with
laughter at the sight of two men run
ning opposite ways to avoid a sausage
tiomb from a German trench uiortar
They collided aud sat dowu facing each
other, like vaudeville comedians. The
bomb dropped between them, almost
touching them both-aud then failed to j
explode."

Prusslc acid Is so deadly that even
the smell of the acid produces pain In

seldom is. for the pulsou Is almost lu

absolute certainty of death to a grave

Admiration of Authority.

"Certainly," replied Mr Meekton

Salt Eaten.
Idiosyncrasy often takes the form of
a special craving for instead of an ob
