REPUBLICANS NEW CHIEF.
Will H. Hays is a worker, an organizer and a harnion
izer. Harmony is his “middle name" all right, even it the
“H" does stand for something else he got at the christen
ing.
The new Republican National Committee chairman
is a country lawyer, 10 years (‘Id. He started as a rank
ami file Republican worker in Indiana and in 1900 was
made a precinct committee chairman.
Then he was graduated to county and finally to state
leadership.
When he became head of the state organization the
party was badly split on progressism, and the Democrats
were in complete control.
Under Hays’ leadership harmony was restored and
the party gained strength until in 191(5 his generalship
had turned the state to the Republican column. Hughes
carried it. and two Republican Senators replaced the two
Democrats.
Labor organizations, when conducted for mutual pro
tection of members, are recognized the world over, but
when labor organizations are used by politicians to gain
certain ends, they lose all purpose. The Labor Union at
Anchorage has been undoubtedly put into the governor
ship fight by Sutherland and < the-rs of his kind. Suther
land is a laborite, pure and simple. It is politics with him
—always. The newly organized labor organization on
i lastineau channel is also being used politically. Nominee
Higgs, for governor, is not opposed to eight hours for la
bor. For years, in Alaska, he has worked eight hours al
so those whom he "bossed." did the same. Politicians gen
orally make a play for the labor vote, then if labor puts
them into office, thev bite the hand that feeds them at the
*
first opportunity. If the governorship fight is a political
one, then let the politicians handle it and let labor stick to
their bv-laws, etc.
Now that Germany has become the dominator of
Russia, what is she going to do? If the Russians have
been as treacherous as they are reported to be, they can
practice the same kind of treachery upon the Huns and
sell them out when opportunity arises. The Russians are
controlled bv mob rule and kaiserism is only one, two three
» *•
with this rule.
While waiting for the Third Liberty Loan, don't for
get that the banks, postoffice and other agencies have the
war savings and thrift stamps for sale. The government
needs the money.
Seed catalogues are being received in the mails nowa
days which bring to our minds that planting time is near
ing. What have you done about that back yard garden?
Packers’ wage hearing at Chicago shows that some
of the employes held back $2 or $3 every week from their
wives. Perfectly outrageous embezzlement. But, prob
ably, the employers held back $200 or $300.
Word comes from London that the Russian soldiers
are trading machine guns for decks of cards. Mebbe
they’re going to challenge Fritz to a game of freezeout.
Don’t forget that you only have to April 1st to mail
your income tax return to Tacoma. This is no April 1st
joke either. Failure to make the return, if one is neces
sary, will cause trouble later.

Denunciation of La Follette by the Wisconsin senate
lias one bad feature. It furnishes publicity for the kais

In 45 seconds you can so fill it with wind that it’ll take a

German alien enemies in Alaska must register during
