OUR GOOD SISTER, MRS. HATCHER
Having marched under , the banner
so fearlessly, so faithfully and so suc
cessfully borne aloft by our good sis
ter, Mrs. Hatcher, during the prohibi-j
tion campaign of two years ago, and
in which triumphant march, so far as
enr fellow newspapermen of the ter
ritory were concerned, we were unac
companied and alone, we feel that we
are in a position to offer a word of
advice—brothery counsel, like—to our
good sister:
In the first place, sister, we believe
you are honest in your convictions,
and in the second place, we believe
you have been jobbed by designing
politicians; otherwise you would not,
as it were, see through a glass so
dimly. Otherwise, you would not
have, in your address at Ketchikan,
made such grave charges on one side
and smeared oodles of soft soap on'
the other side—thrown bricks with
one hand and bouquets with the other, j
Therefore, sister, we believed vou
I
were exerting your talent to the serv-’
ice of God, and it fs hard for us to be-1
lieve you have signed on with Mam
mon, but present indications point
that way. We can not beleve that!
your present speech-making tour of
the country is prompted by the same'
ideals, the same admirable sincerity,!
the same beautiful and heartfelt rno-j
lives that characterized your efforts
to drive the evil of Alaska to cover. |
Others of your sex, sister, brilliant
©I intellect, radiant in sincerity and
honest in purpose, have preceded you
in the political arena of Alaska in
their efforts to diffuse light in darkj
places. Can you point to one of them
who has succeeded or who even com- j
manded the respect of the rank and
file of those with whom she came in
contact and whom she endeavored to I
rescue from the slough of political
perversity?
You have won your laurels, sister,
and with them the respect and ad
miration of the better element of Alas-,
ka. Be content to retain that respect
which will never follow you to the
ranks of Marry Ellen Lease-Carrie Na
tion-Kate Saddler class of women,
whither your present campaign of
brick-throwing and bouquet-throwing
1b bound to carry you.—Douglas News

STRIKE DISCUSSIONS
III OH PIPERS
NEW YORK, April 12.—Socalist1
and anti-Socialist newspapers of Ger-]
many have been indulging in a sharp]
and rather embittered debate since!
the ending of the great strike in Feb-]
ruary over the question as to who or]
what party was responsible for the j
serious labor disturbances. Accord,
ing to German newspapers received j
here, the Socialist party not only re ]
fused to disapprove of the strike, but]
tried to fix the blame for it upon the]
government, asserting that its meth-!
ods of dealing with the public had
given grounds for the trouble.
The North German Gazette, an of-]
ficial organ, declared that the strike I
was a form of sabotage in the inter
ests of peace.
Dr. Drews, the Prussian minister of
the interior, said the strike served]
immensely the interests of Germany’s!
enemies, but that the confidence of
the government and the Prussian peo
ple had not been shaken and it would,
as heretofore, press the internal re
forms.
The Social Democratic party lead
ers were accused of encouraging the
strikers. Retorting to this charge,
the Berlin Vorwaerts, an outspoken
Socialist organ,, quoted Prime Minis
ter Von Dandle of Bavaria as having
thanked the Democratic Socialis
leaders, in a speech in the Bavarian
chamber of deputies, “for assuming
control of the strike movement, as
thereby the strike would be forced
into normal channels.”
In the course of the heated argu
ments on the budget committee of the
Prussian diet on February 8 a Social
ist member attributed the strike to
increased difficulties in obtaining food,
to inefficient government- measures
for food distribution, to postponement
of the franchise reform, methods of
censorship and the existing state of
siege. He declared that the prohibi
tion of public meetings in Berlin and
the dissolution of the strike commit
tee had caused bitterness. Philip
Scheidemann, the Socialist leader, the
speaker declared, had been brutally
handled by the police while studying
the strike situation in Berlin. The
Socialist committeeman said that the
strike was of spontaneous origin.
A Progressive member of the com
mittee, commenting on the strike, said
that some of the measures put in
force against workmen were causing
Increasing restlessness In the non
Socialist workmen's circles. A Social
ist deputy was quoted in a German
newspaper as saying that the ruling
classes above all wdlre responsible
for the strike, but, he added, "the Rus
sians, however, would greatly err it
they believed that there would soon
be a chaos in Germany similar to that
in Russia.”
A question as to the future status
of the Socialists in the majority party
bloc of the reichstag was raised by
some of the critics. The Vorwaerts
asserted that the Socialist party had
not changed its attitude since the be
ginning of the war, and that this
meant that, as heretofore, it was will
ing to defend the country against for
eign plans of conquest, but would
combat the intention noticeable in
Germany to continue the war until
open or masked annexations have been
achieved. The party, added the Vor
waerts, will continue to act as the
protagonist of civil freedom and po
litical equality. ,

SUMMER BLOUSE OF VOILE
Fine voile Is the most durable of all
the sheer fabrics that are used for
making summer blouses and for this
reason It deserves the fine needlework
that is lavished on it. In the plain and
elegant blouse shown here, rows of
tucks and small pearl buttons are used
for decoration. The faultless work
manship required to make groups of
tucks centers attention on them and
being accomplished they prove the best
of all adornments for the tailored
blouse.
ABOUT THIS SEASON’S WAIST
... ... . '.v.v.'.w.v.v.- ,
When the roll call of decorations for
this seuson’s blouses Is in order, small
tucks and filet lace are nearly always
present. Whether of sheer cotton or
silk crepe the blouses of today are de
voted to these two ornamentations
more than to any others. There are
some blouses that find room for a little
embroidery along with lace and tucks.
One of them of white crepe georgette,
is shown In the picture above.

CHAS. A. SULZER
Candidate for Re-election
As
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate to Congriw
from Alaska, I feel impelled to make a brief statement to the people of th*
territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated in the House as Alaska’s
representative to congress. During the most of this time the United States
has been engaged in a world war, and every resource of the nation, including
money and man power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning *****
great war. Every member of congress in considering legislation for the
tion has placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements amd
has subordinated his desires to the military establishment of the United State*.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation's call. She has given her share
willingly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party went before the poo
p(le of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a certain constructive
program which embodied as its principal elements a wider measure *f
home rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy in the develop
ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneers of the coun
try.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home rule the
dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all, aod
the protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eighty red
reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to
•use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs »f
the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some meas
ure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
helped the prospector by suspending assessment work on claims during the
years 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments t*
the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
the farmers of the interior from supplying army posts with their vegetabfcs
are fcanceled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska hay*
come to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire t*
serve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress.”
