ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, TUESDAY, JULY IS. 1916.
WORK OF THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Republicans of the Third judicial division met iu con
volition at Valdez and placed a ticket in the field for the coming
November election, and also declared themselves n favor of
a direct primary law and pledged their candidates to support
this measure at the coming session of the legislature.
As was to he expected the candidacy of Hon. .lames AN ick
ersham as Delegate to Congress was endorsed, as tie is the
choice of the rank and tile of all political partie- for this office.
Having -erved Alaska at Washington for four terms, during
which time Judge Wiekersham has always been lighting for
the best interest' of the territory, it was only natural that when
a convention free from boss rule met that he > ould he its
choice for re-election.
The territorial ticket is headed by George Dooley, of Cor
dova. for senator. Mr. Dooley has been a rcs-.dvi : .if Alaska
for nearly twenty years, during which time lie ;as blazed
trails, mined and been one <>f the progressive resi Seats of the
territorv. At present he is identified with the mi'iness inter
est.. of Cordova, where he holds several position' ot trust and
is a jiroperty owner. He is well known throughout the Copper
River Valley. Katalla. Valdez and Seward ar.d during the
present campaign will no doubt extend hi> acquaintance to
Anchorage and the westward.
For the legislature Anchorage received two **t the four
nominations, in the persons of Arthur Frame and E. "L. Bedell.
Mr. Frame is a practicing attorney of considerable ability,
having come here from Fairbanks where he was :c-ated for a
number of years. He is favorably known throughout the divi
sion. Of course everybody ou Cook Inlet knows Mr. BedeL.
He spent considerable time in the V illow -reek district, where
he wfl' engaged in mining and hi' friends a re legion among
the residents of the interior section. "Ted." as he is familiar
ly known, has been city editor of the Anchorage Daily Times,
under the new management, and when the votes are counted
it will be found that practically every ballot here and through
out the Matanuska Valley has been cast Tor Mr. Bedell.
The Copper River valley presents the name of Joseph Mur
ray, of McCarthy, for the legislature. Mr. Murray was former
ly an attorney at Valdez, but several years ago decried the
law to become a prospector and a miner. He has been devel
oping some placer claims and would in? a valuable acquisition
to the body of law makers at Juneau. Seward is represented
ou the ticket by William Henry, who is also a legislative can
didate. Mr. Henry is at present engaged in the real estate bus
iness and has a large acquaintance-hip throughout tie divi
sion.

STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA.
In a lengthy and well-written article Dr. F. M. R* yV. an

of the opponents of the measure t*oint that Alaska shall not

It is to your advantage to do your
i drug and sundry buying from us. We
i carry the best of everything in our
drug store at the most reasonable
prices. A lady told us yesterday that
we charged her less for filling her pre
scription than a drugstore in Seattle
and she wondered how we could do
it. The reason is obvious. We want,
her and your permanent patronage.
By buying in large quantities for j
two drug stores we save considerable 1
and we all benefit thereby.

The Importance of Drug riant Culti- <

The present European conflict has 1 i
done much toward awakening the ; ]
spirit of initiative on the par: of ‘:
Americans, not only in investigating ]
an economic means for the mar.ufac- 1
ture of dyestuffs and various chemi-11
cals previously alone carried ‘ on by ]
the Germans, but also in stimu at .g .
research along the important dine of I;
drug cultivation. More than or.e-half ! 1
of our most important crude drug.
and their products come from foreign !
sources. Before the war these were! i
in regular commerce, and effo::- at]

were confined to the U. S. department

My Partner in Crime.
Even as I write this, and always as
I write. 1 hold in my hand my most
willing servant and loyal friend. You
may say he is not much in appearance
to justify such a eulogy. You might
also add disparagingly that ’ he is on
ly a fountain pen, after all,” and in
the exact meaning of the words you
are right. My most willing servant
and loyal friend is only a fountain
pen. As he is such a downright hon
est chap to' the last drop of ink in
his vulcanite body, I have never
known him to claim to be more than a
fountain pen throughout his long
Working life. Also, and this is quite
as important, I have never known him
to act as if he were anything less
than a fountain pen. Like all good
unassuming craftsmen, he is content
with his place in the scheme of
things. He does not claim to be a
printing press or a typewriter. He
iust calls himself a Waterman’s Ideal
Fountain Pen, and in this capacity he
las served me in such a way that
nakes me believe he is the best foun
ain pen on earth. (You will find his
■qual in Loussac’s Drug Store.)

Woman’s Work Must Stand Same Test
of Quality as That of Man
By MARY E. WOOLLEY, President of Mount Hoiyoke College
O " ■ —;---O j
IT is a graTe mistake to overemphasize sex, the overemphasis, instead of j
making for physical health, social soundness and intellectual sanitv,
working against all three.
The crisis through which we are passing puts a great responsibility
upon America, which is bat another way of saying ut n ns all. “Amer- '
ica first ** is a slogan worthy of us only when it is interpreted America
first in service to the world. THAT WOMEN ARE REfDY TO EN
TER INTO THEIR HUMAN HERITAGE IS UNDOUBTED.
Oat of great tragedy often comes great inspiration. Out of the world
tragedy must come a new inspiration U r service, service in scholarship
as well as service in other, more practical lines. And in the call for serv
ice, in the time of its supreme need, the world does not stop to ask •
wfaeth* r the response c me- from man or w mam
Truth to the fact >f life gives no excuse for the theory that there
should be one intei.eerial standard for the man and another for the wo
man.
WE HAVE PASSED BEYOND DR. JOHNSONS POINT OF VIEW.
WOMAN'S WORK TODAY MUST STAND THE SAME TEST OF QUALITY
THAT IS APPLIED TO THE WORK OF MAN.
Efficiency and ris en, usefulness and Vauty, dogged dtt-rr cation
without sacrifice of the finenesses, the refinements f life, conviction
without dogmatism, confidence with humility, the will to sue 1 with
courtesy and consideration, strictness for oneself and liberality t van!
others, stress upon the intellectual without 1 -ini: sight of the spiritual_
this is the kind of character and service for which we as college women

Prevention of Tuberculosis Should Be
Made a National Problem
By HOMEIR FOLKS, Secretary of the New York State Chanties
Aid Association
■O
IN the United States tuberculosis has been mainly a local problem, in *
small degree a state problem and hardly at all as vet a national -rob- f
lem. The time has come when the federal authorities should assume
that degree of EFFICIENT LEADERSHIP WHICH THEY CRE
EXEBC13ING IN THE PROBLEMS OF AGRICULTURE \ND
OTHER ECONOMIC INTERESTS.
Statistics collected by the National Tuberculosis association show an
expenditure for the care and prevention of tuberculosis in the United
State* las: y-. ;r : . . >o. Th-s is aim st wholly a lc-;ai -r state
expenditure. By means • f a division of tuberculosis in the Unitea States
public health semes-, wit:, a trifling expenditure as compared with this
*?t?,<K*0.0‘>.', the federal authorities could by wise leadership tremen
dously increase the eSeettveneas of this enormous local expenditure.
Only through the United States public health service can any degree
of uniformity of method and efficiency in the tuberculosis campr.i'-n in
forty-eight different states be secured. The standardization of hospitals,
sanitariums, dispensaries, nursing service and home supervision and all
the other elements in the tuberculosis movement can only be secured
through federal action. Just as the state helps to co-ordinate the work
of the localities within the state, so the federal authorities should help
to co-ordinate the work in the-various states.
ONLY IN THIS WAY CAN THE VITAL NATIONAL INTEREST IN THE
SUPERVISION OF TLBERCULOStS BE M» 3E EFFECTIVE.
