HERO, NOT SLACKER, SAYS
DEPUTY, OF BENEDICT
TACOMA, May 2.—“A man who
marries with flour at $9 a barrel and
cabbages worth their weight in gold
! Is a hero, not a slacker,” announced
1 Deputy Auditor Tom Desmond this
I morning, the presiding genius at the
j county marriage license bureau. Mr.
Morris indicated that he is disappoint
1
I ed that there is not more of a rush to
his counter, scarcely any men of rnili
jtary age applying for a permit to en
: ter the double state and applications
not one above normal.
“The man who lights,” he said,
shows an easy form of bravery. But
the one who is willing to enter the
lists against H. C. L. has a real battle
on his hands. Those who apply here
will not have yellow ribbons pinned
on them, but should be edcorated with
a fitting emblem denoting their brav
ery.’ ’

WICKERSHAM
WILL WIN SEAT
That Delegate Wickersham will be
awarded his seat in congress is the
belief of Albert Johnson, member of
the house of representatives from
Washington state, who also seems to
be amazed that any of the people of
Alaska could be found to oppose his
re-election.
In an editorial in Representative
Johnson’s paper, the Washingtonian of
Hoquiam, Mr. Johnston gives his opin
ions as follows:
The decision of the federal court
at Juneau awarding the certificate of
election as delegate in congress to
Charles Sulzer in place of Judge
Wickersham, who has served four
terms in congress, and who was de
clared elected by the returning board,
is little less than a misfortune to the
territory of Alaska. The house of
representatives, however, is judge of
the qualifications of its own members,
and if Judge Wickersham enters a
contest for the seat in the house, it is
probable it will be awarded to him.
Alaska probably owes more to
James VVickersham than to any other
living man. He is thoroughly wrapped
up in the development of that terri
tory, and devotes his entire time to its
interests. It has been no easy task to
gain recognition for Alaska. Its repu
tation as a snow-swept land of perpet
ual winter has gained currency in the
eastern portion of the United States
and all efforts for governmental aid
and appropriations have been mark
ed by great difficulty.
Judge Wickershani undoubtedly
gained the appropriation for the gov
ernment railroad, which is destined to
open up Alaska and make it as great
! a country as Norway, Swedn or Den
mark. The climate of Alaska is very
j similar ot those countries and it has
immeasurably greater resources.
Judge Wickersham’s record is well
known in Alaska, and it seems strange
that the people should have voted to
return some other man to congress. Of
i course he has not been subservient to
the copper trust or the fish trust, but
he has been true as steel to the people
of the land for which he cares so
much.
It is said that the liquor interests
sent a large amount of money to
Alaska last fall to be spent in defeat
ing the dry law. This money, it is
said, fell into the hands of the oppon
ents of Wickershani anil they spent
it to defeat him instead of trying to
defeat the dry law.
Hut whatever the reason, we can
not hut think that the defeat of Judge
Wickersham will be sorely felt by the
people of Alaska. In Washington City
he is loked upon as the leading au
thority on Alaska. His library is filled
with works descriptive and explana
tory of that country, and his office is
a museum of Alaskan products. It
will be many years before Alaska has
as strong a man as Wickersham in
congress.

WASHINGTON, May 4.—Prelimi
nary report to the treasury depart
ment, upon which Secretary McAdoo
will base his recommendations to the
president as to the size of the first
bond issue under the $7,000,000,000
war finance law', indicate that the
United States will be called upon to
finance the allies to the extent of at
least $400,000,000 and possibly $500,
000.000 a month.
The tentative program also calls
for the expenditure of virtually every
dollar of the borrowed money in this
countr yfor foodstuffs, munitions, coal,
clothing .every equipment and other
supplies.
The estimates, still incomplete and
subject to revision, indicate the fol
lowing entente needs:
For Great Britain $200,000,000 to
$250,000,000 a month. For France,
from $100,000,000 to $125,000,000.
