raise q company OF 800 men within far

only are those wha have once served

have displayed the sanse determination.
II In unfortunate that war must come,

The governor has not seemed In the
past 20 have much sympathy with the
National Guard. but he Is certainly now
giving all the encouragement ne can to
the movement To have the state we'll
represented in the response TO the call
for volunteers.
Members OF the National Guard viii
have the preference In the selection OF
those who volunteer their service outside
OF the state. az they should have; rot
only because they have had the train
iax. but because by their sacrifice OF
time In the past and their devotion to
tie service. they have become entitled TO
preference. II the states quota cannot
be made up from these. then volunteer
companies will no doubt be formed. 1t
would only cause confusion to author

and issue commissions. The best way
would be to hold the commission until
the company has been raised.

In a New York police court lately a
young woman accused her husband Of
taking her false teeth and refusing 10 re-
turn them. The peni;ent husband ex-
planned to the court that he had married
her three weeks before. and wanting her

sconvsntion w<re exostdfnsiy fair, ana
az least They were not objected 70. OF
the convention would not hare been
signed.
One Of tn. couditions was that no-for-
eisners-the English government did
not limit the convention TO Engiishmen
should be subject .'In their persons or
property. commerce or industry, to any
taxes. local or general. other than those
which are or mag be imposed on citi-
xens OF the south African republic"
This II precisely what the United
States is now demanding OF Canada In
iss dealings with prospectors In the
Northwest Territory. The Boer gov
eminent has Disseminated against the
UIflander by imposing an scent tax on
a fe,ar-pound loaf OF bread; q shilling
tax for every four pounds OF meal; .
shilling tax on every four pounds OF
potatoes. and q 12-eent tax for every
kalf-pound of butter eaten by q miner
and his family.
Another imposition made by the gov
eminent In b. selling for q large s1m
10 a local corporation the monopoly In
dynamite needed for mining This ena-
bies the monopoly TO charge almost any
price II plesses. and the foreign miner
IL compelled Indirectly to pay an enor-
nous tax.
The Boer treasury has been filled to
overlooking from the tribute exacted
from foreign miners. and the Beers en-
gagged in other occupations have re-.
cefved the benefit. The closing down OF
mines on account OF the excessive Inn
positions Is opening the eyes OF the
people and there are indications that
at least the more intelligent Of them
are beginning to see that the policy OF
Kruger means nothing else than kill

Spanish from Cuba and will not be Divert

The liquor question is the most serious
one now troubling the people at Dyea
and Skagway. There is great need Of
q sensible law. placing the traffic I'M
der restrictions So long ss the attempt
is made to suppress II altogether, 30
long will there be eyasions OF the law
and consequent disorder. The liquor
laws OF Alaska were framed FOR the pur-
pose OF preventing the debauching OF
Indians The settlements at Dyea and
Skagway might be all the better II no
liquor was sold there, but II the people
desire II there II no more reason Tor hay
ing prohibition there than In Seattle.
The chief mischief about such laws Is
that 1t opens the way and offers tempta-
tson to ofiicial favoritixn and to practices
which work injustice. The published
reports from Alaska do not make any
suggestion Of discrimination. but IL the
Alaskan ports escape suspicion they
will be unlike any other place where Al
attempt has been made to prevent the
sale OF liquors, where the law was not
sustained by public sentiment
The only way to do with the liquor
business in Alaska Is to adopt the GUS
tom of other places and keep 1t under
reasonable restrictions

the government to prohibit the publication
of such news concerning the movements Of
the army and navy as would afford in

There IL one lining 10 this cloud The
cause OF the solidarity OF .he English
speaking nations has received a definite
and, We may hone, enormous .rnpetus.
Americans can hardly soon forget mo
quiet, unos;eniat'ous but resoluis and
most effective aid which they have re-
ceived from Great Britain. Asking 70
return, making no bargain. exacting no
price, the mother country has Tended Off
the one contingency which threatened the
success OF the daughter country, and
made it plain that outsiders who inter
fered In the affair would have on their
hands a trial OF strength with the Eng
disappearing race. II has been a great
object lesson, and IL through this war
coming generations OF Americans grow UP
unimbaed with the wFetched, the hateful
notion that the mother Is the daughters
natural enemy. great will be the gain
perhaps enough to compensate for the
losses and the sufrerings which the United
States must undergo in It's. generous ef-
fort 10 relieve oppressed human beings.
