Dan Sutherland again came through
with flying colors. It would be hard
to replace Dan. He will be found the
next two years looking after our in
terests at Washington.
John Rustgard, Alaska’s vermiform
appendix, is still in a healthy condi
tion^ judging by the vote cast, and
may not be ennucleated until the
next election.
Seward’s candidate, Aaron E. Ruck
er, lias a good chance for election,
provided the westward district does
not vote tco strong against him. Mr.
Rucker’s election meant much to Se
ward in the way of representation
in the next legislature.
The Gateway’s election service was
as extensive as that of the largest pa
per in the States, and while expen
sive gives our readers a better in
sight into the votes cast in the dif
ferent states than was necessary.
The local cable office force deserves
great credit for the efficient manner
in which they handled the returns,
probably 50,000 words being receiv
ed here. Within a few more weeks
the Gateway service will be improv
ed by the addition of a larger press
service. Times are good here and
we believe that they will continue
to improve. Merchants report a bet
ter month in the October just passed
than for several years, and business
continues to be good. Now that the
election is over let’s keep things
moving toward a pulp mill and an
other cold storage plant.
Talking more for publication than
because he believed it, John E. Bal
laine, campaign manager for LaFol
lette in the state of Washington said
the night before election that the
state was safely for Mr. LaFollette,
and would return a handsome major
ity for him. Fortunately for the
state, which is radical enough with
out supporting Bob LaFollette, it
went strongly for Coolidge, showing
that its ictizens were more patriotic
and sensible than Mr. Ballaine gave
them credit for. Personally we nev

The Man with the "little hlack book” will call
er could see why a man with the rer
ord of the Wisconsin slacker should
be allowed to run tor office at all,
but his defeat has cleared the at
mosphere and the nation has been
saved the ignominy of his election.
SENATOR WHEELER, democrat
who betrayed the party which elected
him by joining the LaFollette move
ment, has been justly rebuked. Also
Senator Rrookhai't of Iowa, who join
ed the radical movement, was badly
defeated by his constituency, who fail
ed to see any merit in the sudden shift
of politics . Roth these officials will
be relegated to oblivion, having been
read out of their parties for their tra
torous actions. The moral is that it
pays a man to stick to his friends.

NEW DISCOVERIES IN
LEHMAN CAVES ATTRACT
TOURISTS, SCIENTISTS
ELY, Nevada, Nov. 4.*-As a result
of important scientific discoveries
made here in the now famous Lehman
caves, this little mountain town is fast
becoming the mecca of sightseeing
tourists from all over the country. The
scientific beauty and grandeur of the
caves which have opened up new fields
in the study of biology, ethnology,
and archaeology, attracted thousands
of visitors this year.
Local residents always knew about
the caves, but never considered them
to be of any particular value. It re
mained for C. C. Boak to get a bill
(passed by congress setting aside the
caves as a national monument. Good
roads will soon be built for the bene
fit of tourists. Hotels and garages
are already under construction.
At the request of Governor Scrug
ham, professors from the state unver
sity visited the caves and began its
prehistoric research which promises
to surpass in scientific value anything
of its kind in the United States. Fos
sils of great shrimps, eels and reptiles
that apparently existed in the meso
zoic age were brought to light after
being undisturbed for centuries.
The discovery in the cave of a pet
rified human skull, believed to be that
of a caveman, gave rise to the theory
that the spot was the original Garden
of Eden. Scientists call the skull the
missing link in the genealogy of the
human family.
AMERICA TOO POPULAR
WITH CHINESE STUDENTS
PEKING, Nov. 4.—The American
Legation has taken cognizance of an
apparently authentic report that the
ministry of education has issued in
structions to authorities in the prov
inces to cut down the quota of stu
dents to be sent to America.
“In recent years there have been
too many private students going to
America. During the last eighteen
months the number is equal to 67 per
cent of the total number of students
going abroad. The reason why most
of the students go to America is they
easily obtain admission into American
colleges where they become special
students. In two or three years they
return to China, being considered to
have graduated.
“Although there are not a few who
go to the United States to obtain a
real education, a majority go simply
to get a degree. Even if the standard
of education in the United States is
higher than in other countries, the
number of students should be r f-.trict
ed, otherwise it may result in the set
ting tip of a special intellectual influ
ence in the country.”

CRY OF LAFOLLETTE AID
- *
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov: 4.—
William H. Johnson, president of the
International Association of Machin- ■
ists, was quoted in a statement issued |
at LaEollctto-Wheeler campaign head
quarters as demanding the “immediate
removal of Charles Hughes from his
post as secretary of state and inves
tigation of his connection with an Ital
ian-Austrian shipping concern.”
Mr. Johnson was represented in the
statement as declaring that “Hughes
put through a deal which for the con
cern would cripple our merchant fleet,
was illegal and irregular and cost tax
payers thousands of dollars.” The
state ment referred to matters brought
up at the hearings of the house ship
ping board committee.
MAKING IT EASY
The deputy warden of the peniten
tiary was looking over the new arriv
als. Among them was a tall, folorn
looking gentleman of color who seem
| ed to take it very hard, sighing so
i deeply that the deputy asked :
“What’s the matter, boy?”
“Mah sentence, suh,” was the mourn
ful reply. “Ah, cain’t do all this heah
time the jedge done gib me!”
“How much are you doing?” inquir
ed the deputy.
‘‘Life!” exclaimed the new arrival.
“Well,” remarked the deputy, not j
unkindly, “just do what you can of
it.”—Everybody’s Magazine.
