A CONTEMPLATED HONOR
Humor comes from Washington that
President Wilson is planning on a
wing around the country in tin* in
' *r£st of tlie* Fourth Liberty loan, pro
ided he can manage to absent him
•*!l from the White House at that
nm. His contemplated itinerary will
* arry him clear to the Pacific coast,
being said that lie i- particularly
desirous of meeting the people of the
West face to face and talking things
"Vi r. If is needless to say that we
11 all 1"* glad to mm* the President
nd that lie will In* received in true
Western fashion, if he can arrange to

«• < it Mnnehow \nd so. if his aim
i- merely to put the loan across, he
perhaps could sell more bonds in
other sections of the country where
war profits have caused an unprece
dented circulation of loose change.
It is to he assumed, however, that j
President Wilson has more than this j
hi mind; that he hopes to avail him
self of this opportunity to become
personally acquainted with the West
nd to express his thanks first hand
i, (hi* people who made possible his
reliction So far. at least. In* has
not seemed to show' the pYoper
amount of appreciation in this i«*

the hottd drive" It so. then "hat a
tempting opportunity to tour the
country in Ortoher'. It is to ho ev
pootoil. nt oottrso. that the chief ex
ecutive "ill coniine his utterances at
,H |j,n, t,, matters other than par
tisanship at the polls since he has
already assured us that "politics is
t iljourncd" luit he ivouhl not he hu
man if he did not make every move
count 'for a ringing endorsement ot
hiH administration llesides, he is
master of the art of the spoken word,
but no matter how carefully he may
guard his utterances or conduct him
self on the stump, his appearences
will virtually resolve themselves into
rip-roaring Democratic rallies. All of
which, judged from the Republican
standpoint, will seem like taking an
unfair political advantage.
Hut even so, it w ill he good to see
the President and extend him a royal
Western welcome. We are more con
cerned with winning the war than
with winning the elections for any
particular party The trip will do the
President a world of good personally

HEALTHY PUBLICITY
TIn*r«- hu\c been many complaints

o! getting employment that suits the
men. it is to aid this situation and
adjust these inconsistencies, among
other tilings, that the bureau ot pub
i lias been created in Juneau
It has many duties and it* sphere

most unlimited Hut not the least of
t lies * * problems with which it tinda
itself confronted is the untangling of
the twisted wires of supply and due
maud in the labor market It. is oh

ployment in this section. It is also
evident that there are would-be em

shortage of labor ami instead present
their difficulties to this bureau of Ju

they are willing to adhere to in the
engagement of workers. If there is
anything fundamentally wrong with
these terms, the bureau will set them
right and put them in the way of get

And as for the men without work

be had, etc., they are now without ex

is no demand for tin* services ot tac

mistrial conditions in Ibis district
dmiiiy the rummy seasons, and it is
up to those who would profit by the
establishment u: a liraneh of tin*
service to show their attitude on the
subject anti create a demand for it.
A local representative would lie In
touch with the headquarters at Ju
neau. and they would work directly
in connection with It. and so would
lie aide to locate workers or pn-i
lions in other parts of tin* territory.
A local representative would lie en
abled to handle the other work of
publicity with which the bureau is
enyayed. This is the spreadiny of
Maskan prupayr.nda throuyhoul the
I'nited States to attract settlers to
this country of opportunity after the

Tlie Ineriur needs to have its ad
vantayes set forth by one who is
closely in contact with conditions
hero, anil for this reason a local man
could handle Ibis phase ol the wti-i
better than one in .lunc-ni.

need of a rampabin of healthy pub

and foremost, and ft is tip to Maskans
to show their approbation of its ef

introduced by Governor Higgs, and
gives great promise of success. It is
a venture into an unknown field for
Alaska, and iR deserving of our sup
