and 1t is fair to presume that one con-
sideratlon was to prevent the complete
shutting down of the claims involved in
litigation. which would spell ruin to many
outside OF the ltiuants. who had risked
their fortunes in the hope that Cape
Nome would be a good camp. employing
many men in profitable labor
The merits of the case have not as yet
been determined; that is. the important
question as TO which party is entitled to
the final possession of the claims. On
that there is a fair and legitimate OPP
portunity for the lawyers and for the
courts TO differ. That the original To-
Gators who were aliens. had no right to
enter the claims. is matter OF statute
law. Whether private Individual. who
seeks to relocate a claim entered by an
alien, or whether the United States alone,
through its legal department, must take
the initiative in forfeiting a claim for
alienage, is a disputed proposition of law.
ph botH SUES VI Which strOHS drSufnents
can be advanced. This is the matter to
be ultimately, determined.
The courts can settle this and nobody
else can. The facts and issues are regu-
larry before them. Outside agitation on
either side to PREJUDICE or influence a
decision naturally provokes suspicion and
hostility among unbiased and fair-minded
people.

When Archbishop Ireland speaks on
this subject, so dear TO his heart and so
intimate a part of the work OF a life OF
distinguished service. his words should
carry weight and conviction.
This ardent temperance leader and
worker, this shepherd of the souls of
men. has appeared before the senate COM
mittee on military affairs TO protest
against the proposed abolition OF the
army canteen. He does this because he
believes that the canteen 'is in the in

He does 1t because he has seen it In

before the canteen was established and
what they have been since That is
enough to make him come forward in Its
defence And he knows how pai,ry is
the charge that it brings to the men
temptations that would not otherwise
come TO them.
In this connection II is most extraordI-
nary that people should argue. and that
even such papers as the New York Even

note the argument, that the abolition of

At a glance one sees the utter disparity

furnish them. But every army post has
its territorial limits. outside Of which Its
Officers have no power whatever. On
that ground the low dogseries are set
up: and nothing can prevent the men
from resorting to them and indulging
their appetites.
Seldom has the line between true mo-
rality and sentimentalism been so clearly
drawn. The arguments for the canteen
seem to us absolutely convincing, and
behind them there Is the array of estab-

There are two ways TO use zinc; you
can mix It In with lead in rub, or buy
Devoe lead and zinc, which is ground

IL you mix your own lead and zinc,
you gain something; If you buy Devoe
you gain more, because machinery does

On May 29th, Mr.. and Mrs. George
an aged and
respected couple OF
celebrated the 50th anniversary Of
the day when, before nigh heaven,
they plighted the VOWS thatmade them
man and WIFE. The golden wedding
of this aged couple was the occasion
for a reunion of family and friends,
and the pleasant memories will live
long in the minds of those who
were present at the half century
celebration. Comparatively few coup
les live TO commemorate a golden
wedding. Ere the fifty years roll
round, in most instances, either the
husband or wife, and often>both, have
passed away from the scenes Of this
early life.
MIR. Watkins, the aged husband,
has lived a useful life and is honored
and revered by all who know him. He
has ever been a valued citizen Of this
parish, and on bayou DaLarge he is
known by every man, woman and
child, from one end Of the bayou to
the other. His faithful helpmeet, who
was a Miss Anastasia Theriot, is also
beloved by all who know her. During
the fifty years, in which she has
cheered the labors Of her companion,
her constancy and devotion have de.
monstrated chat she is the possesses
Of those lovely characteristics, that
since the world began, have beel

"Jaok G. Dudley"

Theodore Westphal and his remarkable
buil terrier, Jack G. Dudley, are at the
Commercial Hotel. Jack performed to a
packed lobby last night, and th~estate
legislators who hadcOme in were so taken
with this Louisiana specimen of intelli-
gent dog that he will be- taken up to
Baton Rouge Monday mOrnipg.
Jack likes to ride on the cars, and he
would rather. do that than sit on his
launches about a hotel lobby, where he
hears little else than O'Connor resolutions
and who is going to be so and so.
Theodore Westphal is from Heuma. He
is a business man of that place and haa
some personal matters to look after in the
state capital. So he brought Jack with
him.
The dog is truly a wonderfully trained
canine. He was secured from Captain
Dudley Avery, of Avery's island, when
quite a young puppy, and Mr.. Westphal
has done therest. He knows the English
language, will respond to q command
from his trainer without being given the
slightest intimation by gesture, He seems
to grasp the meaning of words just as Jim
Key does,
For the amusement of the crowd last
| night Jack did all manner Of things. He
said his prayers, played on an imaginary
piano and sang to his own accompaniment.
Jack will be 6 years old next September.
