Alaska needs a stable population.
A population, that will stay witu
iu tiit territory year alter year. A
p^uuiaiiuu that contemplates uu
making its tuiure Uoait* within the
Lorder lints oi the political juris
dictien ui" tlie territory. A pmpula
tivu that contemplates giving to
Uio territory as well as taking
icom Uie territory. We need more
public spirited men who take pride
lu i:m iu>buildiug of the communi
ties it which, tlicy live.
Tn© tioaung population of the
t»:mtury is enormous. It becomes
more noticeable ia the winter wtien
t .e general tendencies are to- move
to »iio outside.. If facilities and
sihotifc are not oa a par witk those
ou the outside it Is our duty as
citizens to ask the cities and
political leaders to make 'hem re
presentative of the great store
bouse ot wealth.
No country can hojje to get a
footing and maintain its integrity
and dignity amongst, the other po
litical units when its population
abandons it for otber sectiooia dur
ing certain periods of the year.
Thi« can be overcome In certain in
stances, by civic clubs and home or
gauiz.i.itns advocating better edu
citlonal and. economic conditions
within the community ia whici| they
live. The upbuilding of permanent
homes is a stable saver for a fluc
tuating and moving population.
The sooner a man establishes him
self in a good comfortable home
and begins to realize that he Is a
factor in the upbuilding of the conx
raunity the sooner he thinks twice
before be decided to leave that
particular place.
WORK AHEAD
With the tourist season half
ever and thousands of globe trot
ters having seen the Southeastern
sections of the greatest piece of
erunfry which Hies the stars and
stripes and the voluminous en
tausir.em with which. they have an
nounced their pleasure—certain
ly the word which they will pass on
to their neighbor® willereate a do
sire on their part to make the tripj
nwc* tourist season.
Journalists, newspaper men and
publicitr experts hailing from all
parts of the country have, or will
have, made 'he trip before the
sea?c»n closes. Articles will a#
p«r in all of the leading publica
tions throughout the United States
and Canada on the Alpine scenery
and wondeirfu! climatic condition*
*o be found in the Pan Handle.
Railroads and steamship companies
h.ivt> spent fortunes la advertising]
t'"e trip. With all the various agew
cies at work boosting this ag a
scenic a? well as a productive belt,
certainly neat season should be
abeve this season, and this season
l~as been the banner year in the
history of Alaskan enterprises.
It resolve itself back to the
fame old question will thepeople of
Alaska be ready to live up to the
reputation which, hag been spread
broadcast. Will we advance and
be able to impress those coming)
next year of the wonderful possibill
tics so that they may in turn1 send
the good word; humming over theJ
country. It will take c»-operatlen
on the rart of each and every Al
ar Ran to make it a banner year.

AMERICANISM
The a'torn pc of the Dduloeratic
campaign managers to put the em
phsi* of Wilsons caavus for re-oloo
tiou upoq "Americanism" Id look
ed upon by the great silent mass ol
voters tu> a very bold attempt lo
covhr ay the paity record in, con
gress with high-sounding words.
Unserve r« of legislation and admin
istration in, Waahingtcuj cannot
separate the Issue of Americanism
In itg laitf model from the issues
of preparedness as eaamplifitU by
a Democratic Con-reus..
With Democrats continued In con
trol at Washington, *hu country
would iwire an Americanism of th«
following specifications; 1. We
would have lofy appeals to our pa
triotism and biffer denunciation ol
all > hat approximates j disloyalty,
phrased lu the exquisite rhetoric ol
puruse makers. 2. We would have
hitrh sounding statements of Am
eilean rights and Booorous de
mands to foreign, nations to re
spec* these rights. 3. Back ot
theg« courageous words we would
have an inadequate army and navy
and a vacillating mariner at the
helm of the shi» of state.
Tho American, people want the
undiluted Americanism ot Hughes.
They «arther want, as one of the
sanctions of this Hushes' American
Ism a background of adequate de
fense. The Democratic party is
unwilling and incapable of BUpply
iuK this background. The Republi
can uarty stands ready to meet the
need. The people will choose next
November, and we shall have an
Americauism that is more thai) bole'
phrases inspired only by the exi
gencies of politics.
Seat'le longshoremen have placet
a vigorous protest with the San
Francisco Union for the action
which tney have taken lti> favoring
the open shop policy. They furth
er refuse to budge an inch. His
torv shows that San, Francisco con
trols the labor market and that all
cities have sooner or later follow
ed the lead taken by the Califor
nia labor unions. If the unions in
California vote in favor of the op
en door policy it will be but a ques.
tiou of *ime until the other unions
follow suit. The breaking of the
strike jJ such ba the case in San
Francisco means the breaking of
'he strise in the other ci'les.

Johu M.. Parker is taking a rap
a* Theodore Roosevelt for desert

have t"ined the forcea of the Re

Henry Howe was a young farmer
living three miles from the village of
Lansing, and his deaf mother kept
house for him. In the village above
mentioned lived Ellen Wilcox with her
father and mother. Henry was twen
ty-two years old and Ellen nineteen.
One day when Howe had Bold a load of
| stove wood at the Wilcox homo he and
J Ellen met. They looked good to each
other. Then began a courtship that
lasted almost u year, and there was
but one break In It That was when
Ellen went to a picnic which Henry
could not attend, and nenry the next
Sunday for revenge took out driving a
girl he had once kissed at a husking.
This break In Cupid's plans lasted
a month, and people had begun to say
that It was off forever when the cou
ple made up. The turtledoves cooed
again, and In the course of a month
they were married.
All went merrily for the next three
months, and then came a fiend In hu
man shape. He was agent for a tele
phone company, and he advanced about
150 reasons why Henry should Install
one of the Instruments In his peaceful
home. The young bride advanced her
reasons also, and after giving a week
or two's thought to the mutter Henry
ordered In the wonderful little thing.
One day a sewing machine agent
came along the road where Henry was
at work and pulled up for a talk. He
led the conversation around to that
Sunday school picnic and Henry's bus
gy ride and presently said:
"Did you ever see the feller that es
corted your wife to that picnic';"
"Why. there was no feller!" was the
surprised reply.
"Oh. wasn't there? How a woman
can fool a man! Vou have gone and
put in a telephone. 1 don't say that
feller Is still in the village, but If he is
bow easy for your wife and he to have
a dozen conversations a day over the
wire.' Have you thought of that?"
"Say. old man. dou't get off any
trash like that." cautioned the farmer.
There was no feller, 1 tell .vou. and If
there was he did not make a mash.
I >on't try to stir up any trouble here."
"Oh. I am not one to stir up trou
ble." said the agent, and he drove along
to the house and entered it He knew
he could not make a sale of a machine,
for one was there already. He said
to the wife: "I was one of those who
thought you and Henry had broken off
for good In fnct. I made a l>et of $10
that he would marry the other girl."
"Aren't you a bit impudent?" queried
the young wife as she Hushed up.
"But 1 didn't mean to l>e, Mrs. Wil
cox. I was Jusl thinking how handy
that telephone was f< r htm Her father
also has a telephone In hLs house, and.
If she and Henry wanted to talk, there
you are- He could slip in here a dozen
times a day. and If he didn't talk too
loud you could not hear him from your
work In the kitchen."
"If you have no other errand you had
better drive along." was the quiet sug
gestion.
Henry did not tell her that he had
seen thr> airent that day. and she did
not tell Henry that she had seen him
either.
Despite the way they had answered
him he had planted a seed of distrust
and Jealousy v. hi< h pre<entL tjok ruot.
