Two Bad Bills With Good Motives.
Two bad bills figure upon the record
of Yesterdays proceedings at Trenton.
They arc the Storrs bill for the pun
ishment of betting upon horse races,
and Mr.. Wilbur's measure providing
for alcoholic instruction in the
schools. These bills are both backed
by very good people with very good
motives; nevertheless, they are abom-
inably bad.
The Storrs bill is bad on account of
its Draconian severity. 1t imposes a
fine Of from 81. 900 to S., 600, and from
one to five years Imprisonment for the
act of selling or buying a pool ticket
on a horse race, OF for making a bet
on a horse race. This is, obviously,
a most monstrous perversion of JUS
tice. We have no desire to ~,extenuate
the sin of gambling; but assuredly it
is both wicked and foolish to punish
it with the same penalties that are at
tached TO burglary, highway robbery,
felonious assault and manslaughter.
In practice such cruel and excessive
penalties always defeat their W
purpose, for no sane jury of ordinary
human charity would convict a man
of the statutory crime of making a
bet of SO on a race, when the convic-
ton would land him in State prison
for five years, with a So, 900 fine to pay
when his time was up.
The second bill is bad, because it
compels the adoption of a form OF
falsehood in the schools. The inten-
ton of the law is that the bad effects
of alcohol upon the human frame shall
be taught. This is the common form
of mendacity known as the suppressao
cegi. The scientific fact, concerning
which there can be no reasonable dis
pute, is that the fair, moderate use of
alcohol is beneficial to the human
frame. There is no difference of opin-
ion worth speaking of among medical
men upon this point. Then why
should the boys and girls of the State
be taught, by authority Of law, a
false and unscientifc version of the
facts7 The ends of neither religion,
morality nor temperance can, in the
long run, be served by sucha course.

were times not up to our present
standard Of civilization. Today the

to punish him for carrying it. The

apprehension is felt by his relatives in
this city. He sailed from Hoonah for
killisnoo on August IL for the purpose of
procuring barrels in which to pack sal
mon and when off Freshwater bay the
wind carried away some of his rigging.
He remained in Freshwater bay for three
days and made another start, accompan-
led by an Indian boy and went TO
Wrangel, the last seen or heard of him.
He had been in charge of the Hoonah
store belonging to his uncle w. p. Mills,
of Sitka, and In November. 1898. he bought
the stock and has since carried on the
business for himself He was a good sail
or and friendly With the Indians. SO that
foul play is not suspected. The Topeka,
on her last trip, reported that he had been
seen at Wrangel, 800 miles from where he
started. on or about August 20. but since
then nothing has been heard as to his
whereabouts. The young mans mother

worried over his delay in reaching home.

away. People ran to Pioneer Pace
in droves and Smoke" was so
scared that he made for the water
front as fast as his legs could carry
him. The first thing he did was 10 throw
the other torpedo into the bay. While the

THE NEW FIRE CHIEF.
Kahaley Expresses Satisfaction and Tells
Why NARROW Was Chosen.

Why NARROW Was Chosen.
Fire Commissioner Kahaley was inter-
viewed yesterday BY Posr-INTELLrsEscER
reporter concerning his views on the cleo
ton of George Marrow as chief of the ire
department instead of Gardner Kellogg,
who was supposed to hold the whip
hand" in the light for the place. He said:
II guess everyone knows that / worked
as hard as could for the election OF Gard
ner kellogg. He was my choice and
said SO openly on numerous occasions. An
election by the commission, however, does
not make man chief. and when eleven
members of the council petitioned for the
election of George Marrow and l was in
formed on reliable authority that two
more favored him, gave up and voted for
NARROW. l do no know how Mr.. Kellogg
feels about the matter, but do know that
I'd all could for his election"
st"What do you think of Mariow2'
MARROW is q good fireman. l would
not have voted for him if / did not think
him q capable man."
Many of those interested in the IRE de-
partment think that NARROW. If he is con-
iirmed by the council, viii appoint ex-
Chief Gardner Kellogg mis- assistant. Mr..
NARROW when questioned about the matter
replied:
Al have my preference Of course for as
sistant chief. but until am chief do not
care to talk on that matter"
