w.io , articipato'1 in the went were of
a reminiscent frame of mind and
some thrilling experiences and good
stories were told.—Kx.

age. She has a crew of five men and

Information received from Ruby is
to the effect that the voters of the
Fourth division are determined to re

excellent members of the last legisla
ture and should be retained in public
service. Both are old time Alaskans
and know the needs of the residua's

equipping them to discharge their
djutios in an intelligent and satis
factory manner. If the entire legis
lative bodies were composed of such
men the results attained at the Juneau
sessions would certainly prove bene
ficial to the people. Anchorage

LONDON.—The* remolding of tlie
system of government of the British
empire after 1 he war was predicted
by Herbert L. Samuel, secretary of
home affairs, at a dinner given in
honor of the Australian premier,
William Morris Hughes, recently.
"Many times in history,” said the
home secretary, “have states previ
ously not intimately united in their
internal organization been welded to
gether by war. I have long been con
vinced tnat the present constitution
or absence of constitution—of the
empire cannot lie the final form of
our political relations with one an
other among the various portions of
our empire.
"The whole empire is affected by
grave decisions of policy made by
the government nnd parliament re

sponsible, not to the people of the
whole empire, but to the electors of
these islands. That is in contradic
tion of the whole spirit of British
institutions.
"1 speak, not for the government,
but from my own firm conviction,
when I say that the mother country
is very ready to admit the Domin
ions into a share in the decisions of
policy tis soon its they desire such
admission. Let each develop on its
own lines, but ltd them be ready to
combine in some organic union for
dealing with matters of common
interest. It is for them to decide
whether, after the war, we shall be
able to take a forward step in the
evolution of our imperial institu
tions."
Premier Hughes’ speech was de
voted mainly to urging the necessity
of weeding out German influence in
Great Britain and the colonies.—Ex.
