A
NOBLE CAUSE
Once more we are asked to
contribute towards the relief of
a nation that lias suffered un
told horrors and humiliations
from the Turks since thebeginn
ing of the war.
Mere words are totally made
quate in expressing our opinion
on this subject but we all know
at least those who ke'p them
selves informed on these atroci
ties know, that little boys in
groups of three and four were
bound together and then killed
by having their heads smashed
together, - just think of it - you
who have little boys of your own
and when you are asked to con
tribute to the relief t»f these litt
le boys sisters, those sisters
who have also undergone the
most horrible & filthy tortures
imaginable, to satisfy the lustful
craving of the Turk, it ought to
be a pleasure to dig dowm as far
as we can and give our share
for such a worthy cause— the
“Relief of the Armenians.”
TERRITORIAL LAW IS
THROWN OUT
Clerk of the Court Arthur
Lang has received instructions
from Attorney General Grigsby
which abrogates the provision
of the territorial law permitting
electors to cast their votes any
where in the division in which
they reside.
Section 23 of Chapter 25 of the
Session Laws of 1915, reads as
follows: “ Any person who can
qualify as a legal voter in the
division in which he or she at
tempts or offers 4o vote in any
election precinct in such division
by subscribing to the qualifica
tions required for registration
in this section”.
This is in conflict with Section
394 of the Compiled Laws of A1
aska which provides that the vo
ter m u s t have been c n act u a 1
and bone fide resident of Alaska
continuously during the entire
year immediately preceding the
election: and have been such
resident conti nuously for thirty
days next preceding the election
in the precinct in which he votes.
The Attorney General asserts
that in the coming election in
November next, the provision«
regarding the qualifications of
voters must be governed by the
Federal law, and that to vote in
any precinct the voter aside
i from the qualifications other
wise provided, must have been
a resident continuously in the
precinct in which he or sh e votes
for at least thirty days next pre
ceding the date of the election.

The hours I spent on thee, dear
sock,
Are as a string of purls to me
1 count them over by the weary
clock,
My hosiery, my hosiery.
First two I knit, then two I purl
And round the leg I slowly reel,
Now joyful pm ms to the heav

I’ve turned the heel.
Oh, knotted ends that scratch
and burn,
Oh, stitch that dropped, uneven

I kiss each blight and si rive at
