ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. TIME TO RETURN TO THE USE OF THE CABLE. Last year when the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and a delegation of Alaskans conferred with Gen. Griffin, then in command of the United States Signal Corps, concerning the proposal to change from the cable system to radio in the transmission of telegrams and news dispatches to Alaska, the latter promised that if the radio did not give better service than the cable the Government would return to the use of the cable We have now had radio service for more than six months, and it has been demonstrated that it is not nearly as satisfactory as the cable was. And it cannot be said that the trial has not been a fair one. accommodating men of the Signal Corps have been in charge of the work. They have done their best. They have tried so hard to do well that The Empire would rather put up with the trying vexations and failures that has been the lot of an Alaska newspaper since last October than to complain if it thought complaint would put the personnel of the Alaska radio service in bad We have waited for months patiently for im- provement in the news service, but the manner in which the recent primary election returns have been handled is the last straw. Patience has ceased to bz a virtue. The time has come when fulfilment of the promise to return to the use of the cable ought to be forthcoming. The cable can handle a great deal more traffic and do it in a far more satisfactory manner than the radio. The radio ought to be an auxiliary to be used’in case the cable would accidentally go out of commission. The radio is not satisfactory even at its best, and in case of an emergency like transmitting election news it is terrible. FOR CONNORS. The strong endorsement the Democratic voters of Alaska gave their National Committeeman, James J. Connors, who carried all four Division in Tues- day's primary, was not only complimentary to him and a testimonial to the efficiency and fairness of his tenure of office, but the continuation in place of responsibility a very fit man for the position. Mr. Connors is able, vigorous, courageous and square. A better man for service on the powerful committee that controls the affairs of one of the major Na- tional political parties could not be found, and there is not a more thorough Alaskan anywhere nor one who is better qualified to protect the best interests of this Territory. GRIGSBY FOR DIMOND. The assurance of former Delegate George B. Grigsby, who ran second to Senator A. J. Dimond for the Demoecratic nomination for Delegate to Congress, that he would support his successful rival FINE ENDORSEME Competent and | him. It was largely a personal endorsement. He did not receive the support of the Territorial organi- zation or that of the Indian blocs. The regular |organization throughout the Territory supported | Senator A. J. Dimond who carried the Second, Third and Fourth Divisions, the northern end of the First Division and won the nomination for Delegate to Congress. The votes of the Indian blocs that went into the Democratic primary supported A. H. Ziegler of Ketchikan for Congress and the Frame ticket for National Commiteeman and National Delegates. Mr. Grigsby's standing, ability, knowledge of the Territory, and campaigning talent and experience will be of tremendous assistance in the campaign for Mr. Dimond. At least the weather man is co-operating with the Juneau clean-up and paint-up organization. One could not ask for better weather than that which we are getting. The Intruders. (New York Times.) Senator Tyding's resolution to strike from the revenue bill the tariff rates stuck into it by the House ought to pass. The duties on oil and coal should mnever have been imposed. Tariff revision once begun is hard to stop. Tariff revision from a protectionist point of view is a dangerous thing for Democrats to venture on. Mr. Crisp’s strong opposition prevented the inclusion of any other sturdy beggars in the measure; but they are in the Senate with their hands outstretched. Copper, lumber, shingles, all the applicants that failed to get alms in the Hawley-Smoot tariff are eager to try again. The overture of the revived performance of log-rolling is already playing. The leaders, Demo- cratic and Republican, want to choke it off. It is inconceivable that one party would dare to delay provision for the imperious financial neces- sities of the Government; but combinations of tem- jporarily unpartisan pa.riots of the do ut des school are all too familiar. Time was not made for Sen- |ators. If the tossing of tariff amendments into the revenue bill begins, the prospect of the reason- ably immediate passage of the bill will be bleak. The country has a right to expect that local and |regional interests be sacrificed or postponed to na- tional interests. If there must be another tariff grab-game, at least let it be adjourned until the revenue bill has been passed. Protection Asked. (Anchorage Times.) As previously announced in these columns, the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce has appealed to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to assist in dis- courging jobseekers from going to Fairbanks in search of employment, the reason being that there already are sufficient number of Alaskans already in the Interior to meet all demands for labor. In a further effort to prevent such an influx, appeal has since been made to the management of the Alaska Railroad to refuse transportation to those not in possession of tickets or cash for the pay- ment of their fares. The railroad is cooperating but travel in the direction of the Interior mining district continues and later on, when the Richardson Highway opens for the season, there doubtless will be many using that route to reach their destination, just as many outgoing pasengers did toward the close of the sea- son last year. Walking is fairly good on the high- way, and with trucks and passenger cars passing over the road daily, there will be opportunities for “hitch hiking” which do not exist along the railroad. There is the likelihood that the highway, to which so mnay Fairbanksans have turned in their efforts to beat the increased railroad rates, will take a lot of people into the district this year along with the freight which motor transportation outfits are pre- paring to haul in competition with the railroad. It will be difficult to curb an influx in that direction. Which suggests that Alaska might with profit adopt the Yukon method of restricting the arrival of newcomers. There was a regulation in stampede days which barred those who were not in possession of a certain amount of food or cash, and it is reported that something of the same sort is being done now to protect the workers already in the country. i ‘: James W. Gerard says that the people must be made “tax conscious.” As it is now the taxes have rendered most of them unconscious.—(Miami, Fla., News.) & Digging around in some old Egyptian ruins re- cently, a professor found out that they had farces four thousand years before Prohibition.—(Florida Times-Union.)

David Frew, Gar’s half-brother, who has been in love with her for a long time, tries to help her adjust herself by suggesting that she make a home for Gar's father and his sister Carcl and her husband. CHAPTER 40. TREASURE ISLAND SHOP “You've helped me so—always,” Kitty said. “Now this,—I was get- ting frightened, David. T couldn't go on living this way. My brain is empty, David, and I couldn’t think of anything else. But you've thought of it for me. Td like to go oui to the liltle house—with Mr. Frew and ‘Carol and—Paul.

But when the time comes—" He jerked his shoul- ders. “Kitty I told you once that I was disappointed in vou. I did not think you knew Low to face things squarely. I was wrong. I believe you do. At least you have learned—perhaps better than most of us. It means more to me than T dare tell you, that you feel that I have helped you. Well leave it like that. But I'm ready—I want to help you, always. T will mever care for anyone's happiness as I care for yours.” He did not look at her. He steeled himself against her prob- able answer. She knew wnat he meant, but she answered quietly, umemotion- ally. “Thanks, David.” caught his arm with both hands. “Oh, David, T do appreciate what you've given me! 1 can tell you how I feel. I can forgive you— now—for what you said to me that day—about Gar and me. ‘When you told me to call it a bad business. Tt was—but it was my fault as well as Gar's. I should never have married him without knowing him better. fair to him. Oh, I don't mean that I would have loved him any, less! I mean—I would have known better how to weigh the good and weak in him. Then I would have given him—real love.” There was profound regrelt in her voice. “If he'd lived things might have happened again—and I might have failed him in understanding! And we might have spoiled, in redeem- ably, what was beautiful between us. And I have that. It's—it must be enough.” . David made no answer. And be- cause he didnt she turned a slow, grateful smile on him. ‘They heard Dorcas’ voice in the lower hall calling o Mrs. Gentle. “Here’s the late Mrs, Taber!
