legislative campaign
The campaign for members of the
Alaska Territorial legislature from
the first division is now fairly
launched, and the candidates and
thetr supporters should conduct it
as becomes the high standard of
citizenship of the average Alaskan.
It is the duty of the voters to
choose from these candidates men
who, in their opinion, will best
serve Alaska in general, and the
First Judicial division In particular;
men that are not blind to all else
but party affiliations; that are not
pledged to follow the dictation of
any one man or any body of men;
that are not bound body and soul
to any political combination or fin
ancial corporation. Of the two lat
ter ev'ls in legislative matters
there is no choice, and the great
political wrongs of today may largely
be traced to the combination of the
two.
The average Alaskan will not be
bound by political lines; he is cap
able of thinking for himself regard
less of the opinions of the other
fellow, for he knows no dictator.
The men chesen to represent these
hardy frontiersmen of this Nortn
land should not be hobbled by po
litical shackles that their constitu
ents have long since outgrown. Men
should be chosen that are non-parti
san in principle and willing at all
times to act on that which will
do the greatest number the
greatest amount of good and be
of benefit to Alaska as a whole,
and equally ready to reject that
which will be of benefit only to
political bosses, corporations or
private interests. Each man chosen
should be held as answerable to
his constituents as though that
great political purifier, the recall,
was already adjusted to Alaskan
conditions and spread upon our
statute books, and not to any politi
cal party, corporation or other
"power behind the throne."
HIGH-POWER BOMBS
FOR NAVY AIRMEN
A recnt series of experiments in
•which bombs of high explosive pow
er were hurled from an. aeroplane
has demonstrated the fasibUity ot
this method of attack to the satis
faction of the Nary Department Th«
experiments were conducted at
the naval proving grounds at Indian
Head, Md. The bombs "were drop
ped from various heights, up to
1,400 ft., by the aeroplane "AB 4."
operated by Lieut B. L. Smith, TJ.
S. M. C., with Lieut. V. D. Herbster,
U. S. N., assisting.
Navy officials will not divulge the
nature of the explosives used nor
the types of bombs employed. It is
officially stated, however, that ttia
bombs were made by a private
manufacturing concern at the direc
tion of tae navy ordnance experts.
A number of experiments have been
conducted by the navy to test the
accuracy with which bombs can be
burled from aeroplanes, but the at
tention of the department is now
directed to the study of explosives.
Unless a bomb can be manufactured
that will Inflict great damage on
any vessel or fortification on which
It is dropped, the value of the aero
plane in warfare will be greatly
lessened.—From the October Popu
lar Mechanics Magazine.

But we don't live so Ions nowadays a: d r f us kr.vc
gotten over the Methusaleh idea in the last thirty ycr.rs. We
have found that the time saved and the labor s/ntdby the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone v\ ho ha~. writing to do.
Typewriting is tuo or three t'mes faster than pen writing, it is
easier and less fatiguing, it looks better, and it is the up-to-date way to
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?
The typewriter for which YOU and most people have
been waiting is the new
Remington
Typewriter

ton, earr ing the iron-clad Remington guarantee and embody
ing just the qualities you need.
The price of the Remington Junior is 550.00, cash with
order. How does it differ from the standard hundred-dollar
Remingtons? Only smaller, and lighter, with fcicer parts—just
the machine you need for the simpler uses, such as manuscript
and letter writing.
For S55.00 we will sell you a Remington Junior on terms
of S5.00 down and £5.00 a month.
Better seize this opportunity and buy now. Cut out the
attached coupon and send it to us with S5.00 in cash, check

had sharp shooting pains in my ■
back, and If I stooped it was hard
for me to straighten. It was also
hard for me to get up from a chair
