We are not alarmists, but it is

A little more unemployment, .a
little more pinching and skimping

are rapidly finding out who ere

Ists of Alaska ha\e a candidate
to whom they,fv#ry man (and wo

their whole hearted and enthusi

man of character, of ini: nsc and
earnest convictions, proletarian
in instinct and sympathy, known
and respected throughout Alaska
He is a deep student of social po
litical and economic questions,
has a good mind, and- if elected,
may be expected oo give n good
account of himself.

School Board in its efforts toi

chard of efficiency in the schools.
We don't believe he nan do it.but'
wish to encourage him in his lau
dable ambition. Professor Bevier;
did not resign because of any ac
tion of lno board, but for the
reason tout a position on the rail
road survey would give him em
ployment. during the summer,ana
would fit in better with his fu
ture plans, than won id his posi

Th.e News-Miner knows this, if
it knows anything at al! about
the matter. And if there is any
dissatisfattion* with the school

due to the reduction of salaries
