Never before have tilt- mines ot Alaska lieen inspected
in the dead of winter. It is stated that never before has
. ur mine inspector. William Maloney, interested himself
' i the condition of the working man at this season of the
vear. Mr. Malonev is making a tour of the territory at
government expense, but there is said to be a reason. He
may be combining business with politics. Mr. Maloney is
a. candidate for delegate to congress. The time is oppor
tune to interview the voters while on an official tour ot
the countrv. The list of casualities considering the num
her of men employed is alleged to have been greater the
past year than for any year previous. It is time the mines
wer inspected, but it should be done in a conscientious,
manner, and without requiring the taxpayers to liear the
expense of his campaign. The mines in the vicinity of
Valdez were not inspected while he was here yesterday,
but this may probably be an oversight. The inspector
mav not bo aware that mines exist in this vicinity.—

The ho vs of the United States forces on the 'foul
*
front in France who have successfully Missouried the
Germans have also given a most creditable incident of j
who put the“can” in Americans. You bet, the Americans
can do anything when they put their shoulders to the
wheel* .
“Gee, ain't it quiet," is an expression often heard.
Yes, but they are saying the same thing in every other
Alaska town so banish the crepe and pat yourself on the
hack that the war has not made conditions any worse.
Among the items in the cost of the Bolsheviki govern
ment, is the little matter of $4,635,000,000 which Russia
is to pay Germany under tht Lenine peace tready. An
archy isn’t cheap.
Score another one for Charles A. Sulzer. Delegate
from Alaska to Congress! His homestead bill is more
evidence that he is working for the north and the people
in it.— (Nenana News.) '

BRITISH WAR
POLICIES ARE
ABLY DECIDED
LONDON, April 26.—(Correspon
dence of The Associated I'ress)—Re
p resent at i vis of the British tight, rig
forces on land and sea attend every
meeting of the British War Cabinet,
communicate to the members of the
cabinet the latest information, con
cerning the war and consult with them
m inportar.t questions.
At these conferences the army is
represented by Major General Sir
Henry Hughes Wilson, Chief of the
Imnenal Staff, and the navy by Vice!
Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, First
Sea Lord of the Admiralty.
How the British War Cabinet op
erates in deciding upon war polities
and directing Britian’s share in the
war is told in the annual report of !
the Cabinet now published for the |
first time in history.
“At each meeting,” says th;~ of-1
final statement of the workings oi j
the inner circles of the British gov
ernment, “the Cabinet begins by
hearing reports as to the progress of j
the war . ince the preceding day. lrn
I less it wishes to confine its delibera
! tions to general questions of policy
lit then proceeds, to deal with qios
tions awaiting its decision. As thes<
i questions, in the vast majority o
; cases affect one* or more of the ad
min»* trativo departments almost al
its meetings* are attended by the* min
isters and their chief departments
J officials concerned.
“The majority of the sessions ol
j the War Cabinet consist, therefore, ol
i a series »*f meetings between mem*
j bers of the War Cabinet and thosr
' responsible of executive action at
at which questions of policy concern
ing those departments are discussed
and settled. Questions of overlapp
ing or conflict between departments
are determined and the gttieral lines
of policy ihruou4 every branch of the
administration coordinate! so as to
form part of a consistent war plan.
“Ministers who ,aie now members
of the War Cabinet are permitted to
bring with them to the Cabinet meet
ings experts fi'om their own depart
ments or from elsewhere and often do
so when expert opinion is needed to
decided an important question.
“In peace times, sessions of the
Hritish Cabinet were infrequent but
under war pressure this has changed.
The War Cabinet has held “00 sessions
in the past year.”

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
Congress from Alaska, 1 feel impelled to make a brief statement to
the people of the territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated
in the House as Alaska's representative to congress. During the n ost
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 oe
ing devoted to the single purpose of winning this great war . Every
member of congress in considering legislation for the nation, has
placed the country's war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military estaolishment of 'he
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given
her share willingly and unstintingly. When the democratic party
I went before the people of Alaska in November, nineteen sixteen, it
stood for a certain constructive program which embodied as its prin
cipal elements a wider measure of home rule for the territory, and a
sane and rational policy in the development of natural resources and
every posible aid to the pioneers of the country.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress
which I am pressing for passage* as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial foim of government with home
rule the dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along linos that will be fair
to nil and the protection of the ?nlmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eignty
rod reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better oppor
tunity to use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“E (tending 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 of the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the
war some measure of progress has been achieved. 1 have assisted lu
passing a law which helped th«' prospector by suspendi ig assessment
work on claims uu'iig ihe year' nineteen seventeen and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alaska has
been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appoint
ments to the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts
which prevented the fanners of the interior from supplying army
posts with cheir vegetables are cancelled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of
Alaska have come to me from A'arkans all over the territory. Reit
erating my desire to serve the best interests of Alaska, I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nomination for
Delegate to Congress.”
