ent governor of the district His pred ecessor, to whom he alludes as hay ing championed the bill, unlike his re- motest successor, did not feet justified in trying to force upon the people whom he had thought to faithfully rep resent, something they did not want, and thereupon ceased his efforts, and at his request the chairman of the committee allowed the matter to drop. That is the true history of that par ticular effort to secure from congress an enactment in the wake of which would surely have followed an exten- sion of the general land laws, and the other legislation for which we have been praying in vain these many years, and may continue to pray for, for as many more, unless the people of Alaska rise in the majesty of their right and demand the same just treat ment as has, except in this case, been accorded to every other unorganized section of the United States.
 The governor says truly that the people of Alaska are not able to bear the burden of an expensive govern ment. The fact is that those en- gagged in industrial enterprises or bus mess of any kind are already taxed to an amount double the burden that d territorial organization would entail upon the people as whole, and the governor knows it, if indeed, he knows anything at all about the matter. If then the special discriminating taxes which are levied upon our business and industrial interests, together with the liquor licenses were left to territorial government for assessment, collection and disbursement for our own benefit instead of being covered into the na- tional treasury, what would become oi the taxation which our good governor fears would be too great burden up- on property owners-himself among the number-who now pay no taxes whatever Whatever may have been the conditions prior to the passage of the body of good laws" it is fact susceptible of the dearest proof that territorial organization, based on an organic act similar to that of Oklaho- ma. and conferring the same powers and privileges of local government would not cost nearly as much as our 2eople--or, rather, part of them are now paying for being governed rom a distance of 5000 miles, and by strangers who have no personal knowl-
 :dge of our peculiar needs in the way
 Df local legislation.

fore him and read at length therefrom.
One of them contained Martin Luth-
er's argument concerning the necessity
and rightfulness and duty of all per-
sons to appear and give evidence. if
any they possessed. when any other
person was accused of crime The 9th
er contained the record of the trial of
Aaron Burr in which the question
arose whether the President of the
United States could be subpoenaed TO
appear before the grand jury on be-
half of the accused, and in which the
opinion of Chief Justice Marshall is
given, to the effect that no matter how
high an office the witness might hold,
or how seriously the giving of testi-
mony would interfere with his official
duties, it would be the duty of such
witness to testify, even though it be
on behalf of the most lowly and hum
BILE in the land.
When he had finished reading from
the two books the court said that he
did not believe that he could do better
than to follow the opinion of the most
eminent Chief Justice the United
States had ever had that justice was
the object before the grand jury of
right-minded and impartial citizens
to whom the investigation for the peo-
pie was entrusted, and that he believ-
ed that before such grand jury eSery
man would be treated upon his own
merits, no matter what his color or
station in life. receiving the justice due
him.
Concluding, the court instructed the
grand jury to cause the witnesses re-
ferred to to again appear before it, to
ask of them the same questions, and if
they again refused to testify, to report
their refusal to the court , and the
court would issue such process as
would be necessary to compel them to
give their testimony to the grand jury.
The grand jury after receiving these
instructions, retired, and the trial of

Chicago Wants to See More
of the, Manly
Art.

| CHICAGO, May 9-Boxing in Chi
cago is now up to the City Council
Action is to be taken at the meeting of
that body Monday night, when a reso-
luton will be introduced resembling the
| resolution which Alderman Patterson
had passed last December short time
after the McGovern-Gan fiasco. The
Patterson resolution recommended that
the police department and Mayor re-
fuse to sanction any more boxing and
issue no more permits for the same.
Mayor Harrison is rather non-com-
initial in regard to the question. He
said that he would take no action in
the matter one way or the other until
the council had done something with
the Patterson resolution. He adds:
II have been petitioned by several
promoters, but cannot act until the rec
ords have been cleared. 1 am thorough
|ly satisfied that if the game is allowed
to go it win be conducted honestly, and
il it is not there will be another and
more thorough finish for it than there
was before. It is my idea to place a
strong limit on the bouts and sanction
only those of high class and not permit
any of the little Darkroom fights to
proceed. That is the best way to do
away with the cheaper grade of fight
ers."
The Mayor wouid not say what he
thought would be a good limit to be
placed on the bouts, but it is general
ly understood by those close to him
that he intends to allow but a couple
of big shows a month, and that this
viii be the limit.

Baptist Clergyman in Chi

He Takes Firm Stand Against
The Army Canteen

Chicago, May 2S.-At the Hum

defended the army canteen. DR.. Dex
ter is one OF the ministerial commits.
sion who visited Fort Sheridan re.
Gently for the purpose Of investigating
the effect of the repeal of the canteen
law.
While d sclaiming any intention OF
desire to champion intemperance in
any form, he strenously opposed the
extremists who demanded that con.
gress pass law which they expected
would compel temperance in the
army.
The minister informed the reporter
after his address that, in view of the
refusal of the Baptist ministers to re-
ceive his report on the canteen ques-
tion at their last meeting, he had sent
in his resignation to that body.
II made my report favoring the
restoration of the canteen in good
faith and for the good Of temper

The MEANING
Of The Decision by The
Supreme Court
ON INsuLAR CASES
Is Fluffy Explained By Charles
S. Grovenor

Washington, May 2s.-Because OF
different interpretations Of the su.
preme courts decision on the insular
cases, the Publishers Press this morn
ing secured the services Of Chas. S.
Grosvenor to give his legal opinion on
the subject as follows:
"The court holds by "a majority Of
one that by the ratification Of the
treaty of Paris, the insular posses
sions became part Of the United
States for every purpose with the
limitation that congress has complete
power to legislate independent of the
tariff limitations Of the constitution
in regard to those islands,"
"And the same result follows as to
the question of citizenship and every
other question, the court putting
those islands upon the exact footing
as the District OF Columbia.
while the court held that in no
commercial or political sense even did
the CONSTITUTION follow the flag as
1t is popularly defined yet that per.
suasive influence the constitutional
provisions in regard to liberty, justice,
equality of rights and all that would
necessary follow any exercise of poll
tical government of those islands,"
