WHAT HAPPENED TO HENEV?
For some time past we have been
wondering what has become of our|
old friend Francis J. Heney and his
probe of the packers’ combine. It
looked for a time as though the re
doubtable Francis J. had those stock
yards pirates all headed for the peni
tentiary, but something seems to have
happened and the government's spe
cial $100-a-day attorney still has a
long way to go to make his promise
stick. True, he managed to get some
cheap notoriety for himself—the pub
lic footing the bill, of course—but
■what has the public got to show for
the additional expense incurred? The
packers are still at large and doing
business at the same old stand, and
the prices which they dictate are still
soaring skyward.
f. Rumor had it that Heney suddenly
resigned from the notorious case and
Intel led to run for the governorship
of < lifornia. That is the only rea
son nred, and it will do for a make
shift But surely he does not hope
to gain the governorship on the record
he made in Chicago? That might
have been his object at the outset of
the threatened probe, but not now.
As one writer puts it: “It is more
than a suspicion that Heney desired
to butcher business to make a Cali
fornia political holiday.’’ That admit-1
ted, it seems that his plans have gone
awry. California is making a splendid
record in her war work; she seems to
be able to get along all right during
Heney’s absence; and it is too bad
that she is now to be bothered by the
personal ambitions of this pestiferous
native son.

DON’T DISHEARTEN SAMMY
Strange to say, the chief curse of
American army life today is directly
chargeable to the folks back home.
Too many of the letters received from
friends and family are filled with
complaints and expressions of con
cern that do not tend to cheer and
encourage the boys in camp. Com
manding officers are all of one mind
in declaring that this kind of corre
spondence is all too common, and
that it has a disconcerting and de
pressing effect upon the soldiers, who
at best find it difficult to master their
%
homesickness at times. Such letters
are bound to discourage the boys,
sub-due their spirits, shake their con
fidence in themselves and their coun
try, and thus seriously impair the
morale of the soldiery generally.
So it is that the military authori
ties are deeply concerned over the
situation. They urge the importance
of writing frequently—as a plain
measure for bolstering the spirits of
each individual soldier and sustain
ing the morale of tho army—but they
are equally insistent that the corre
spondence shall be of a cheerful char
acter. Common sense ought to dic
tate as much. It is worse than folly—
it is a crime—to burden tho boys at
the front with bad news from home.
And the sorriest feature of all is that
many of the letters are filled with
misrepresentations at that. Instead
of agonizing the soldier’s mind with
thoughts of real or imaginary troubles
back home, every care should be
taken to shield him from the petty
alarms and annoyances of every-day
life among his folks. Better no letter
at all than one that recites affairs
that are pretty certain to prey upon
his mind.
All this arises, unwittingly, of
tonrse, on the part of the anxious
hearts at home. But if our men in
uniform are to be steeled for the
struggle, they must first be made to
feel that all is well with their loved
ones. Discouraging news from home
leads only to discontent, and that to
a thousand dangers. It isn’t fair to
the boys. Fancy any French mother
writing in such fashion to her boy on
the battle front. We have yet to learn
the necessity of spacing the feelings
of our soldiers.

SOFIA, .Tune 17.—Premier Rados-:
layoff has tendered his resignation to
the king.
Radoslavoff's downfall is probably
due to the feeling in Bulgaria that he
did not make the most of the oppor
tunity of the peace forced upon Ru
mania. Rumania was compelled to
give up Dobrudja, and many Bulgar
ians felt that Rumania should have
ceded that province outright to Bul

NEW YORK, June 17—An objec
tionable secret order was the cause of
the resignation of Dr. Herman Von
Habermas, minister of education in
Wurtemberg, which occurred recently
in connection with other changes in
the cabinet of Wurtemberg, according
to the Heilbronn Neckarzeitung.
At the time it was stated that the
minister had resigned for reasons of'
health. The Neckarzeitung, however,,
says:
“In reality the resignation of Von
Habermas is attributed to a secret
order which he sent at the time to
the evangelical pastors in Wurtem
berg, in which the latter were urged
to take a stand against a peace propa
ganda the authorship of which was
attributed to paciftetlc agitation, and
even to enemy espionage. It was this
order that broke Von Habermas'
neck.”

Time All Loyal Americans Began to
Pull Same Stroke to Win War
By GEORGE W. SUTTON of ih. Vigils
L -
When anybody tells you:
That the war is practically over;
That the vast majority of American people are not for the war heart
and eoul;
That our greatest enemies are the Japanese and we must expect hos
tilities with them within a few months or years;
That England is the real instigator of the present war;
And other circular matter of similar trend, he is a pro-German spread
ing German propaganda and should be put down immediately in your mind
as an enemy.
Already a tremendous number of Americans are beginning to lose ]
faith and interest in our efforts, in the belief that the end of the war is
really in sight. This is simply the result of the united work of thousands j
of disloyal Boche and pro-Boche people in this country who masquerade as
friends and who are ready and ^pxious to sacrifice the land which shelters
them. 11
We hold these things to be self-evident: ,**r
That we are fighting the most loathsome and contemptible foe that
anybody—white, black or yellow—has ever fought. -
That he is not afraid of the million and a half men we shall send
against him this year, but that he is afraid of the addition of the five or
more millions we are going to send to strengthen the forces of those who ah i
ready have the upper hand of him; ... J >0,
That he knows he is beaten and is desperately trying to swindle the
world into a peace which will leave him with some of the things he has |
stolen and without paying any of the price he owes for the abominable,
cowardly things he has done. . »- ■
That this peace will be used to prepare for another outbreak of Kultur
when the world has been lulled into a sense of security and he has com
pleted a new alignment of nations with which he thinks he can carry out
his unholy plans.
That he is in a fair way to accomplish these results unless the
people—especially the laboring people—of the countries allied against him
take a grip on themselves and settle down to the long task of beating him so
that he can never again dare to raise his hand against his betters.
All our lives we have been encouraged to think only as individuals.
That is one accompaniment of democracy. It is time all loyal Americans
began to pull the same stroke, to put over this thing which must be pul
over.

A Group of Prominent Bankers and Capitalists Conceived the Idea of
and Financed the
BANK OF ALASKA
With tne Aim that Its Growth Will Give
the Name Full Significance
Practically all the territorial banks In Alaska had their origin In
a mercantile business, and were the outgrowth of a condition. The
BANK OF ALASKA was launched purely as a bank, and without the
support of other Interests than the business that comes to It In the
regular channels.
The trend of American banking legislation Is toward branch bank
ing systems. The pioneer in this territory is the BANK OF ALASKA,
which is the first and so far the only branch system.
Complying with the laws and regulations governing the Institu
tion, from the combined paid-in capital there Is apportioned to each
branch sufficient capital to cover the legal requiremnt of an Inde
pendent bank. Each branch makes full Individual report to the bank
ing board. Each must show how it Is progressing Individually. *
In the final analysis the strength and Justification of the system Is
apparent, for each branch has the full strength of the entire system
« back of It. .
The system is backed by very able men, and furnishes all the ad
vantages of a metropolitan bank, having the facilities of checking ac
counts, certificates of deposit, savings accounts, travelers’ checks and
safe deposit boxes. Your account is solicited.
