PEOPLE ENDORSE OUTGOING (TTY
ADMINISTRATION.
The success of the Citizens' Ticket in Tuesday's
election was an unequivocal endorsement of t lie
record of Mayor Robertson and the retiring City Coun
cil. The candidates on the ticket promised to carry
out tlie policies of the outgoing government if suc
cessful. This endorsement was emphasized by the
laot tlAit. the opposing ticket was made up of strong
men and good citizens -all of them successful in
their reupectivo lines. The fact is that there was
no weak spit on any ticket. The principal difference
between the two tickets was the fact that there wore
more members of the old Administration on the Citi
zens' Ticki : than on the People's and it, therefore,]
came nearer standing for a continuation of the pol-j
icy of the outgoing municipal government.
That the affairs of the city will he in good hands
fer the next year none will question. Mayor tlold
rtcin, Councilmen Connors, Cray, .1 udson, McKinnon,
Rock and Shepard are all safe and capable men whose
interests are all in this city. f>
Ltkewire have we a very able and satisfactory
School Board. Merriitt, Summers and Winn are all
specially fitted for I lie tasks that have been given
thorn to .perform.
Now that tlie election is over and the officers se
lected 'to manage municipal and school affairs for
another year, lit is the duty of the people to give
thorn die support that will he necessary to make the
Ad'nilnlatratloii wholly successful.

A MISTAKE THAT wiLL HE RECTIFIED.
The Knap ire ir convinced that (he Territorial Sen
ad committed a very grave mlsrtuk.i when it defeated
d’ ■ Frstpr Literacy Bill yesterday—one that we
in nly believe will lie Rectified in the course of time,
N »t only docs Alaska need r-wh a measure for pro
tection from a large illiterate vote that may he con
trolled and voted as a bloc, but it is needed by (thej
Indians of Alaska. The right to vote is something!
that should be held forth as a prize to be won by the!
Indians as they advance toward the accepted standards]
ol civilization.
There arc hundreds of Indians In Southeastern,
Alaska who ought to vote, but they would not have
been disqualified by the terms of the Foster Bill. A
right to vote acquired in the way these Indians have
required it is a cherished possession, one that the
Indian uses as his own. It Is a right that is dis
credited and thought little of when it is thrown to
these who cannot road or write and often cannot speak
the English language. When these educated Indians see
the illiterate of their race being herded to the polls
and voted like Cattle it lowers their conceptions of
citizenship and nausea them to wonder “what's the
use.”' i
DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS SPONSOR
MAGAZINE.
it is not ofton that a newspaper uses it3 edi
torial columns for advertltrtng. purposes but it is not
often llrat a former Ambassador and three former
Cabinet officers ask one to do so. These men, John
■\V. Davis, former Ambassador to Grout Britain, for
mer Secretary of State, Secretary of War and Senator
Klihu Heat, former Secretary of the Treasury and
Secretary ct Agriculture David F. Houston and for-!
nter Attorney-General George W. Wickersham are all
promtncr.it members of the Council on Foreign Rela
tione, Mr. Davis being the President. Their organi
zation has begun the publication of a quarterly re
view. ••Foreign Affairs." The purposes of the maga
zine, of which Archibald Gary OooHdge is editor and
Hamilton Fish Armstrong is managing editor and
which is published on a non-profit basis, is set forth
by the distinguished gentlemen in the letter written
exclusively for The Kmpire (attd the several thousand
ether du/iiy newspapers in the country* which appears
below.
The letter, written from the office of the Council
ot Foreign Relations at 25 West Forty-Third Street,
New York, which Is also the publication office of
"Foreign Affairs.” follows:
To the Editor of The Empire: We are
i trongly of the belief that there is a need in
foe l nited States today for a review where
competent. authorities may lay before the
piKjtie their views on the international us
pect-' of America's |x>litical, economic and
financial problems.
We a k the privilege of calling the pub
lics atteirticn, through your columns, to
korelgn Affairs, tin* American quarterly
review recently founded on a non-profit
making baria by the Council on Foreign Re
latione in New York.
Foreign Affaire is not the organ of
any one party or school ,»f thought. It wel
ce»me3 articles from men holding widely dif
ferent opinions, demanding only that they
be sincerely and ably written and based on
trustworthy information. In addition to its
leading articles, "Foreign Aoairs" provides u
Ibiblography of recent beoks in the interna
ftald, an index of reference material
for Otuderits and writers, and a list of i
Argatics and trade agreements tor the In
creasing number of American business men
who find I heir work affected by conditions
abroad.
The very high standard of variety and
interest set by the editor of "Foreign Af
fairs,” Archibald Cary Coolidge of Harvard
University, is shown by a list ot the con
tributors to* tile two issues already pub
lished. Among these contributors have
bet'n General Tasker H. Bliss, Dr. Charles E.
Eliot, Joseph Caillaux, Andre Tardicu, John
Foster Dulles, Premier Eduard Benes, Philip
Kerr, Karl Kautsky, Charles H. Haskins,
Ernest Boyd, Josef Redlich and other stu
dents of international affairs of equal im
portance.
We feel sure you will agree with us
that the establishment of an American re
view such as "Foreign Affairs,” ably writ
ten nnd ably edited, is a public service of the
highest importance and merist wide support.
We have no hesitation in recommending
it strongly to all those who are interested
in the development of a reasoned American
foreign policy,

Dimond. The people of Valdez has seemingly ac
quired it he habit of honoring their distinguished
citizen.
“Dolly" Gray again showed his vote getting pro
clivities. He got the highest vote of any one who
ran on either municipal ticket. ,
Trotzky Has His Use.
(Detroit Free Frees.)
boon Trotzky, who seems to be the only frankly
primitive BoUfiievist left among those who form the
controlling filique in Moscow, has a real value in the
world because ovcTy now and again he breaks out
with an utterance that wants, humanity not to place
dependence on the fair outward veneer with which
Lenine and his more subtle lieutenants endeavor to
smear themselves. The other day Trotzky gave a war
talk that would have been worthy of a Hohenzollern.
And now, while everybody clre in the gang is trying
to rub the "capitalistic world" the right way and is
trying to curry favor with America and with Great
Britain, Franco and Italy, lie delivers himself of an
announcement that the Soviet Government has no in
tention of paying the debts of the old Czariat days,
which is an open slap at some of France's fondest
hopes, and is likely to make Paris draw back and
think a while before it carries any rapprochement
program to extremes. For jf Trotzky is really speak
ing in behalf of Moscow, tile Bolshevist crowd is just
where it was in the beginning so far as it secret
rule of conduct and its real policies are concerned.
II has not yet learned the first rule of sound and
honorable procedure.
Thrill Complex.
(New York Tribune, i
The same kind of persons that watch "human
Hies" risk their lives by sealing the facades of sky
terupers composed the audiences that used to watch
Frank Bostock's half-trained wild animals snarl at
tlie keepers who made them perform. Somewhere in
the back of oach spectator’s mind lingered some
thing that was half fear and half hope that a tragedy
might at any time occur.
This thrill complex Is always present among those
who attend prizefights. It draws crowds to the scenes
of railroad and automobile disasters. It makes it
necessary strictly to limit the "invitations’’ to ex
ecutions.
Pl’ays like "The Cat and the Canary" and "The
Thirteenth Chair," both of wihich had long runs,
provided synthetic, thrills for general consumption.
Doubtless the persbns who fainted and screamed
while witnersing one or tho other of these perform
ances expected to faint c.r scream when they bought
their tickets. They probably said afterward that they
thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
burid "movies" provide in a generous measure
for the same sort, of appetite. It is not a healthy
appetite, nor dose it Ecent to be abated by catering
to it in homeopathic doses at plays and "movies."
But civilization, as we have recently been reminded
by dispatches from Duxor, lias been a long time on
the way. It may be another tlvinty-five hundred years
before eager crowds will not avail themselves of what
looks like an opportunity to see some human being
injured or killed.
Religion and Eggs.
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)
The statement of an Evanston minister that what
the world needo is the simple gospel and 30-cent eggs
will strike an echoing chord in many broaFts.
Not since Thomas Marshall shirred the country
with his statement that “our greatest need today is a
good 5-cent cigar” has a formula so simple, clean
cut and convincing been laid before the American
pooplo.
The old gospel and the fresh egg! It is the lion
of economics and the lamb of faith lying down to
gether. The farmer may not see the relation as
clearly as the minister does, but he can hardly miss
the neatness of the solution.
We take pride in the fact that In one respect
at least we are just ns distinguished as the Presi
dent. We went tishing the other day and didn’t
get a bite.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
A lecturer declares: “Human beings are the most
^arresting things in the world and nexit to them are
nf-rt-es.'' Any one can tell that that chap's no Ken
tucfclan.—(Cineinnati Enquirer.)
Concerning there recurring raws over real and
fictitious public debts, it is well to remember that
there are no fictitious taxes and no fictitious money.
— (Cincinnati Enquirer.) . ’
Now they arc saying tlmt the real reason that old
Mcthufeialeh got by so long was that there weren’t any
flivvers in Iris day. Nor moonshine hootch?—(Cin
cinnati Enquirer.)
President Poincare need not worry lest we seek
to mediate in Hie Ruhr, llnqje Sam isn’t even look
ing in that direction.— (Cincinnati Enquirer.)
What the French are trying to bring about in
the Ruhr is taxation without anncqi'Uion. — (Seattle
Post-Intelligencer.)
Though Congress has adjourned, there are a few
Senators who simply can’t stop talking. It’s a fright
ful ailment they have.—(Toledo Blade.)
Tourists spent $45,000,000 in Maine last year,
although that state has been on the water wagon for
lecades.—(Chicago News.)
The Puritan knows that what ho forbids you!
