rh, ri.nl.Ipr Movement.

No battle plans have been more gen. erally used than the fanking move ments intended to overwhelm one end of an opponents fighting line, to the great and probably fatal weakening Of the rest of his position. The Confeder' ates used these tactics in their most suc- cessful battles of the civil war. and 1t is worthy of notice that their attacks which were particularly daring and successful were almost invariably made against the Federal right wing.
 The troubles peculiar to that unlueky part of the northern armies began at Bull Run, and continued, east and west for over two years. At that battle tho Federal right wing made a well planned movement against the Confederate left Both sides fought we'll for new troops. "Stonewall" Jackson earning his battle name by the resistance he and his men made to the attack against them. but the FederalS had gained ground and were still advancing. when fresh Con- federate forces fell on the regiments at the right end Uf their line of battle. The historical stampede that followed was an unfortunate but perfectly nat ural result. - "The Unlucky Right Wing" by Gilbert Tompkins. in North Ap,qrican Review. 5stt

Former PsriiamsntAr, PrivneEes.

Former Parliamentary PriviieEes.
 The privilege of freedom from arrest enjoyed by members of parliament Ia confined to civil matters; but, since the abolitiCu of imprisonment for debt. this immunity has been sborn of most of its utility. Formerly it was very useful privilege Disraeli says of one of the characters in his first novel, "Vivian ! Grey, l" that "the only way to keep him out of the house of correction was to get him into the house of commons. Parliament was then convenient haven Of refuge for "splendid paupers. l"
 Iu ono ease an English member named Mills, who owed e2S. 900 and for whose arrest warrant was in tho hands of the sheriff, avoided Imprisonment by purchasing Q seat for one of the old "rotten borougbs" in 1907 for tho sum of gl, 900. In another case m Irishman named Bourke was confined in the Kings Bench prison about 70 years ago in execution for considerable debt. Hie friends got him elected for an Irish constituency. but he never entered tho house. On his release after election be fled to the continent and remained there. ......
 Again in 1925 the year before Dis raeli published "vivian Grey."a n man who was in prison for debt was returned for BererIey, q small English borough, and was forthwith releasod on Q war rant issued by Mir. Speaker. It was . case in real life of from tho house of correction to the house of commons.- Good Words.

BUYING PROTECTION.

The hardware merchants did an un- usually large business yesterday in "locks, bolts and bars" 10 keep the burglars out. Ers,while the common est kind of door locks were thought to be amply sufficient before the Kalem and Shoemake burglars came to town, but since then the fashions in door trimmings have entirely changed. Now nothing short of Yale locks fills the de- sire kr protection, and there Is also call for sash fasteners, and the demand for small safes is also brisk. One party yesterday, whose accounts did not run high enough for a fire proof safe, pur- chased a good sized iapanned cash box, and had two holes drilled through the bottom by which he could screw 1t se- curely to the floor.
 The demand for firearms was also un- usually good yesterday, and there were inquiri,s for spring guns and burglar traps of various designs. In short there vas general demand for every kind Of protection except that Of the government, which has been found by experience to be a protection that does no, protect unless you catch the maran- der red handed and arc strong enough to haul him od to jail. Marshal Tan uer is looking wise enough to burst a 6rupp cannon and scare all the rogues out of town, and Commissioner Sehl- orede fs hunting among his law books for the most direiul punishments that are permitted, in preparation for tho next burglar brought before him. So while the cxcitemet lasts the burglars will have hard time making an honest living at the;r illegitimatc profession.

THE BUSINESS TAX.

While we are pridine ourselves upon the possibility of obeaining as an early date the right to incorporate our city under municipal law, and are hoping to obtain from congress an appropriation of at least fifty per cent of the business tax now collected here, for educational purposes. another very important ques- tion stareS us in the face. Even if our best hopes arc grAtihed. and we do oo- tain municipal rights and the appropri' ation aforesaid, how much of it will it be possible to obtain for the white schools
 This Is a timely question that has been raised by Dr. Searl, who has re- gently returned from a trip to'the east where he found that the people gen. orally were entirely ignorant of the fact that ii man had sufficient courage to start business enterprise in Alaska the govcrument immediately put tax on tha; courage. They said they bad never heard of business enterprises being taxed in any other part of Uncle Sam's domain and they denounced 1t as An outrage.
 These well informed people take the proper view Of it, and it was singular that there were not more Alas<ans who protested against the tax on the ground of it's uncoustitutionslity. I, seemed as though Alaska had been neglected and ignored so long by congress that she was delighed to receive any recog- nltion. even if it took the form of kick instead of a helping hand. The tax was a recognition, at any rate, that we were citizens of tho United States. and of course if taxes were put upon us We should obtain l voice in the manage ment of the affairs of our territory, for it has always been held that taxation without representation. is gross in justice. But we get no representation; VIC get nothing but a continuance of the same injustice.
 Dr. Searl raises another question. Is congress returns some of this unjust tax to us, how is it to be expended, and who is to recommend and have charge of the details of such expenditure ? Why Governor Brady, of course. And what does he represent in Alaska ? Why the Indians, and no other race. Therefore let DO white parent spec ulAte on obtaining much, fl any, benefit from the large appropriation proposed for education in Alaska. The Indians need more reindeer. and other things. Certain it Is that the Indian has done nothing, even with the large sums spent by The government in his educa- tion, 70 assist ln developing the country, to build it up to a point of progress which showed business enterprises upon which taxes could be levied; but that the white man should be taxed for the education of the Indian Is the nat ural course of events under the Brady influence, and will be but another mon- umental injustice of which his misrep- vaccinations Of Alaska are the direct cause

 An authority on road construction avs that the Romans made their main roads to las. forever. rhey were com -possd of siiicscuE and caicreous mn. tsrian Abd wers far supericf to the highest type Of modern work. The laree roads averaged ( to lk meterA the rmailer ones s to sH metera In noun tain regions the road was narrowed down to single carfiagsway iA mstera The sidewalks were large near the cities but reduced to dx-tenths of | meter in tho outer districta They were built of cut stone. at least on tho eorder. At every l9 paces mounting stones were placed and at every LOGO eaces milestones. Some of the best roads waro paved with marble Tho minor aE secondary roads were not SO carefully made, though of solidity with which few modern roads can com. pare. A ditch was dug to the solid earth, which was stamped, rolled or staked. Then on . floor of sand 10 or i6 centimeters thick layer of mortar was spread. This formed the basis of the four courses which constituted tho road. The first was course of several layers of tlat stones, bound by hard cement or clay. This layer was usually 30 oentimeters thick, and twice that in bad lands. On this came concrete of pebbles. stones and broken bricks strong ly rammed with iron sheathed ram merS The ordinary thickness of this layer was 25 centimeters In the ab' sence of mortar, loam was used. Super. Imposed on this was a layer of 80 to bo ocntimeters of gravel or coarse sand carefully rolled. The top layer. or crust, was convex and.ran to e thickness of 20 to 80 centimeters or more. It was made differently, according to the ma. terials at hand It was either paved with cut stone or laid with pebble and granite or metaled
