are somewhat undeveloped, it is felt
that certain vegetables and pardeni

communities, while the soil and
climate of certain parts provide;
excellent opportunities for the grow-,
ins? of many varieties of agricultur- 01

an equivalent amount for our boys

lastly he will be conserving' slip

more tonnage and rolling stock
for the transportation, of the vital
necessities of war by his "raised

it is felt that the boy^ and girls
of Alaska will respond to an ap

The women of Alaska are certain

Juneau, at one time the mecc
of 'he dance hall and gambler, arose
it seemed enmasse to cheer a wc
mjiii who for years fought the
fight for iirohibttion in Alaska.
'A*nether one agrees with) Mts.
Uatcher or not it must be admit
ted she has the spirit of her convic
tions and her address in Juneau

sone'i campaigner,
it seems a great regret that Mrs.

delegate nomination. From person

t>oth the present candidates clear

Politics are beginning to warm
up. mid before they reach, a weld
ing heat we should/ like toj caution
our readers to be conservative
and tolerant and give the other
fellow the same opportunity to
support the man of his rihoice as
you would have htm give. Alas
ka has been uufortunsutel in that
politics have alwys kept her towns
and cities in a state of hitter enmity
to the opposition party, thua giving
rise to many factions andj hurting
business and social conditions. The
man who votes for Sulzer or Wick
ersham or Moloney or any of the
oth.r candidates is only exercising
his constitutional rights and should
he allowed, this right without criti
cism or hias on the part of others.
Ft would be far better to have no
election, than to engender small
town animosities and bickerings
over a matter which is really of
!i"Ie importance to »uy of us. If
.'•our neighoor differs from you in
politics, religion or any of the isms,
lie broad minded ami allow him to
rxercise his rights to the uttermost.
This is Americanism. The growth

"vrefit to our citizenry than to

OEMS OF
IHE KILLING
Seward, April 12. — Two men
arrived by dog* team today with lie
tails of the double killing: at
Kenai on last Monday over Hi a
school election, says, a cable to the
Juneau Dispatch.
U. S. Commissioner Magill threat
ened martial law if the citizens
protested his conducting' the school
election. Paddy Ryan, a pioneer Al
askan, went to vote and Magill re
fused to receive his ballot on the
ground he was not a citizen hav ing
served time at McNeil Island, prison.
Rvan called Magill a liar and was
shot dead by Magill. Chaa Coach,
a cripple but of powerful tiui'd,
was deputized by a citizens' meet
ing to disarm Magill until an of
ficej could reach Kenai to. place
him in custody. When Coach told
Magill to t>ut up his bauds he
reached, for bis gun. Coach then
shot him troug the heart.
It is probable the defense will be
self defense or resisting an officer.
