United States, unless there should be
an amendment to the constitution per-
hitting this.
Whether it would be possible to ap-
ply this policy to the Philippines after
they should become a part of the ter
ritory Of the United States under that
provision of the constitution which au-
thoriZeS congress to make needfuI
rules and regulations respecting the
territory or other property of the
United States, am not prepared to
say. 1t is noticeable, however, that in
the resolution providing for the an
nexation Of Hawaii, passed at the last
session of the present congress, it was
provided that the Hawaiian tariff
should continue in force until congress
should otherwise determine.
1t Is to be borne in mind, however,
that the present talk about an open
door policy for the Philippines liz in
tended to apply entirely to those ISL
ands while under a military admins
tration, which would be permissible,
and not to apply to those islands after
they shall have been formally recog-
niZed by congress as part Of the Unit
ed States.
"a very vital point as to revenue is
involved In the possible admission Of
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines
Into the Union as territories or states.
These tropical islands are capable Of
producing every pound OF sugar and
many other tropical products that the
United States consume. II they should
be admitted into the Union In such a
manner as to extend our tariff over
them and thereby allow the free i'm

tories are noisily engaged in the product for

have been in the monastery for seven years
and who have taken the final vows Of the

without some knowledge of current affairs.
In the chapel not ordinarily open to the
world At large some curious contrasts were
seen. The smooth shaven monks in their
gowns and cowls Of coarse stuffs elbowed in
and out among laymen and churchmen In

women In modish gowns, rosy checked with
the unusual excitement, stood side by side

themselves voluntarily the arduous life of

The order was founded in the year 400 by
st. Bernard, on much the same plan a. Ii
exists today, but the demands were so great
that the discipline was for q time relaxed,
until. in hoo, 1t was restored by the abbey
of CiteauX, and the name Cistercian monks
was adopted. Some years later the rules
were again modified. Finally, at the abbey
of La Trappe, IN the year 1900 the influence
OF Abbot Ruaz reinstated the strict rule of
former years. and from that time forward
il has remained, the monks bearing the name
of Trappists.
When a Trappist monk grows old and feels
the end approaching he finds time from his
other labors to begin the digging of his own
grave, an occupation that must indeed be
conducive to solemn and religious thought

DINGLEY IN DEFENSE.
HE EXCUSES THE "OPEN DOOR"
POLICY OF ADMINISTRATION
To Be Applied to the Philippines
Only When Under Military Rule
Imports From All Countries
Admitted ON Even Terms.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-In an in
terview Chairman Dingley, of the ways
and means committee, tries to explain
what is meant by the open door,
policy which the administration pur-
poses to observe with respect to COM
nlerce in the Philippines. Mr.. Ding
ley has gone over the whole matter
with the president His views are sup
posed to be in accord with those held
by Mr.. Mckinley
''The phrase. open door policy, which
is now being talked about so much in
the newspapers said Mr.. Dingley,
means simply equality of treatment
and not free trade. AS applied to the
dependency of a country 1t simply
means that imports from all countries
are to be admitted on the same terms
as imports from the mother country.
AS applied to the Philippines it would
mean that imports from Great Britain
and all other foreign countries are to
be admitted at the same rates Of duty
as imports from the United States.
''Of course, this policy could not be
applied to the Philippines If they
should be admitted into the Union with
q territorial form Of government, be-

the installation Of a new abbot, has been per-

occasion the solitary and silens brotherhood
were given a freedom which comes 10 them
only once in many years, and the memory

hours Of toll and solitary penitence.
Day after day the TrapDIst monks go their
narrow way in silence and in solitude. They
speak TO no one-not even 70 their brothers
and when through illness or want they are
compelled 10 break silence il is only per-
MISSILE through special dispenSation of the
abbot or the prior.
What little earthly Joy is theirs comes from
within and the hours not spent in prayer
and meditation they deovte TO tilIing the soil.
It is a custom OF the Trappists to settle in
localities whers the land needs cultivassng
and their persistent labor transforms barren
wastes into fruitful, yielding groves and gar
dens.

O'Fallon, west Of this city. Fred and
Herman Boettscher, brothers, had been
paying attention to Misses Lulu and
Sarah Stone. A double wedding was
arranged. Both young men had fitted
up comfortable houses for their wives
to-be. Many guests were assembled
to witness the weddings and a sump-
tuous dinner was ready in another
room. The Rev. Mr.. Sweeney, pastor
of the Methodist church in Trenton.
was there to tie the nuptial knots.
The minister had taken his position
to off1ciate, the wedding march was
being played, and the two couples had
entered the room, when Miss Lulu
Stone created sensation by ANNOUNCE
ing her intention of remaining single.
All efforts to persuade her to proceed
with the ceremony were of no avail.
She simply did not want to get mar
ried, and that settled it. Herman and
Sarah were married, just the same.

The Fay Hurder Case.

As stated elsewhere, the jury in the Fay murder case disagreed, standing eight for acquittal to four for convic- tion. Col. Leddy and Judge L. K. Pratt appeared for the defense.
 Everybody knows Col. Leddy to be one of the best criminal defenders in Alaska, and while Judge Pratt is at tending his first term of court in Alas ka, from personal acquaintance with him extending over a period of fifteen years we know him to be one of the best and brainiest lawyers that can be found anywhere. Besides haxing en- joyed large and successful practice, he served for four years as judge of the district court in Kansas district. We are more than pleased to know that he is building up a good practice and those who employ him will never have occasion to regret it.

We Can't Do It.

Really, honestly and truly we would like to please everybody, but somehow it seems to be one of the things that an editor can not do. Last week we pub lished au account of some of the eX- periences that the little steamer Lucy had, and we are told that the Capt. got so yexed over the matter that he be- came red around the neck and as our informant said, became fred headed" ," also. Saturday when we went to Treadwell, the Lucy was way up on the beach, high and dry. Whether he ran her up there because he was still angry over the matter, we don't know, but that was probably the reas- on.
 \ newspaper that publishes the news is a new venture in Douglas City. In fact publishers that are particular to obtain all the news matter, ill and out of sight, are few and far between. 1t is because the editors of this paper are constantly rustling for anything and everything that should properly go in to paper, and spending time and money to get all the items of interest so as to have each paper contain such a great variety of matter-that the vari- ous tastes of great number of readers may be atisfied-that the Douglas 1s- land News in less than three issues has become one of the most widely read papers in Alaska.
 The editor writes an article and pub fishes it for certain class of readers. It is satisfactory to them, but the other fellow reads it also and it don't please him. How are we to avoid such con dition? We can't-we don't intend to try either. We will be more vigorous in the future than we have been in the past to get up all the news in sight. A more cordial reception never could be extended to a newspaper than this pa per has received thus far and ifyOu see anything in our columns you don't like just please remember that it wasn't written for you, but the other fellow.
 So long as the preacher and the lay man want it, the christian and the in- fidel banker for it, the workingman and merchant will not do without it, yes, the women and children cry for it, we will continue to publish the News every Wednesday at the old stand at the moderate price of three dollars per year in advance.

The District Court.

Judge Johnson keeps grinding away with his grand and petit juries. There were two convictions within the past week, the defe ndants being w. E. Eos ter and John Bowers. They were joint Iy charged with Van Triplett of the crime of larceny. The latter, after seeing his two pals convicted, conclud- ed not to stand trial and plead guilty. Sentence has not been passed.
 4 number of arraignments were made the defendants pleading not guilty in some cases and time was given to plead in others.
 Taylor, the ex-deputy marshal at Dyea and Skaguay, was put on trial yesterday on the charge of malfeas- ance in office. The case did not go to the jury however, the court holding that he could not be prosecuted under he Oregon law.
 The jury in the Fay case disagreed and was discharged.
