WHY THE LAIUHTEK
Every one laughs at the irrespon
sible la'1 in the comic supplement,
the bey who never fiuishes by
trivial accidents, yet there are
thousands of grown-ups who uever
succeed in llle for the same reason.
Instead ot localizing their thoughts
uDca their work, they allow their
attention to be divided by a hun
dred persons, things and conditions
whiih could never have auv pow
er over them il they would ceuter
their jninds and energies on the bus
iuirss at hand.

Alastra is patriotic to the core.
In Alaska there will be no hinder
ing of enlistments, no publication
of articles adver^ to the Interests
of army or navy, no slandering of
tho president and other officers of
the government while war lasts.
The legislature has parsed an act
toveriug the whole matter and at
tache an emergency clause to it so
that the law Immediately goes into
effect. The fim section of the
act is in part, as follows:
"That in time of jvar or when
ever war has been declared to ex
ist between the United States and
■any other nation or country, it
sh»U b* unlawful for any person to
dy or commi', or cause to be done
or committed, any seditious act or
'hlng, cr to utter, writ©, print or
DuljlisD, or cause to be written,
printed or published any seditious
matter whatsoever; or do, or cause
lo be done, any act or thing, or to
utter, print, or publish or cause to
b* written, printed or published,
auytuinjc tending to excite discon
tent, trouble, ill-Xeeling, or hOotili
t£ gainst the government of the Un
ite i States."
Tap act provides heavy penalties
in bo'h fines and imprisonment for
1's violation, but to show that the
legislature wag truly American there
was added a proviso: "Provided,
however, that nothing in this act
contained shall be so construed as
to prohibit lair and honest criti
cism cf the policy, orders, or ac
tion of the government or of any of
said officers.' —Omaha World-Her

HECK'S A GOOD CHAVCE
That th« government of the fail
ed States is badly in need ot type
writer operators, stenographers and
typewriters, both men and women
is evidenced by the amount of litera
ture received by the Daily Alaskan
ca tnis subject. Examinations are
boiiig iield in Juneau at frequent in
tervals, and the pay is good, rang
ing from $1,000 to $1,200 a year
at the start, with good chances of
advancement .
The following m<Soage hag been
received from the government:
Washington, B. C., October 29.—
Now that Uncle Sam has the young
meu of the country in training for
military service, he find that he j
needs 10,000 typewriter operators
ar.d stecgraphers and typewriters,
both meu and women, for the De
railments at Washington. The Civ
il Service Commission has notified
all of its. 3,000 boards of examiners
that they Ohould put forth their best
e/for's to secure these urgently
needed workers. While examination^
•ire new held weekly in 450 cities,
the Commission states that arrange
ments will be made to have an ex
amination held at any accsesible
place where a small class of appli
cant 3 can be gecured. The entrance
salaries range from $1,000 to $1>
200 a year. Promotion is reason
ably rapid to those whose srevices
prove satisfactory. Xo appointments
can be made to these or other posi
tion-; in the Federal classified civil
service unless authorized by the
Civil Service Commission under the
civil service law. Any information
to the contrary is unauthorized.
