A CLEAN OF HUMOR.
Supreme Court Decision Which Has
Its Comical Side.

W. l.. Cunts in the Chicago Record
There was a ghastly gleam of hui
NOR in an opinion handed own by the
supreme court recently. jack Davis
of Idaho, was convicted of murder
some months ago and sentenced by
the court To he hanged by the sheriff
of the county. After this sentence
was pronounced the Legislature passed
law providing that all executions of
death penalty should take place in the
state penitentiary under the manages
ment of the warden of that institution,
Whereupun Mr.. Davis entered an Cb-
lection, and asked for a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that the warden
had no right to hang him because he
had been sentenced to be hanged by
the sheriff. AS the new law had re-
lievcd the latter official from such re-
sronsibilities. he objected to being
hanged at all.
Justice Brown, who wrote the opin-
ion which was unanimously confirmed
by his colleagues. differed from Mr..
Davois concerning the essential point
in the case. He did not see that It
should make any differen nee to Mr.
Davis who did the job, 50 long as he
was properly hanged, and the writ of
habeas corpus was denied. 1t must be

POSSIBILITIES OF ALASKA.
Many Profitable Openings for Agri'
culture Says Secretary Wilson.

W. Z. Curtis in Chicago Record,
Secretary Wilson believes that 1t is
possible to raise the same crops in
Alaska that are raised in Finland,
where the natural conditions are SINH
lar and a population of 100000 peo-
pie is supported by agricultural in
dnstries. He has reached this con-
clusion after three years of explora-
lion and experiment by competent
agents. While the area susceptible of
cultivation in -Alasku is very small
compared with the vast extent of that
territory, the agricultural possibilities
are no longer a matter of doubt, and
the arabic soil is scattered IN small
tracts so that ii may serve to supply
n large local demand ir properly cult
waited.
1t Is popular impression that
Alaska is a frozen zone; that the sur
face of the earth Is covered with snow
and ice most of the year. and that
the soil is barren and worthless This
Is great mistake, Secretary Wilson
says, for, although the season Is
short, the sun Is hot, the snow moist
ems and cnriches the earth, and the
soil in the valleys is fertile and pro-
duCtivc. Wheat, corn, oats, barley,
huckwheat, flax and considerable
variety of vegetables and fora Se
plants can be successfully grown In
many parts OF the territory, and last
fall there was exhibited at the cham
her of commerce at Dawson fine sam
pies OF cereals produced in that lo-
calty. Along the river bottoms native
vegetation is vigorous, and the slopes
are covered with a profusion of flow
ers. Native grasses grow aburdantly
over large areas, ana the natural
meadows. although limited in extent
are capable of sustaining sufficient
number of live stock TO feed all the
population that can possibly find am-
ployment in the territory
The demand for vegetables ana othel
garden truck from the miners, fisher
men and lumhermcn Is great and the
| cultivation of the ground is enCour'
aged by the government as an import,
ant factor in maintaining the health
of these communities. II Is rot ex'

and numbering, but those who are en-
gagged in them will furnish cpntinua

Why We Can Underbid Them.

John II. Converse, president of the
Baldwin Locomotive works at Phila-
delphia. gives the following reasons
why the American locomotive is get
ting control of the European market:
There are three reasons why the Baldwin lo.
Cumotive works secure their large number nf
orders in Euronc in competition with foreign
builders. These reasons are the possibility ot
much earlier delivery, preference Of the Amer-
lean type Of locomotive and the lower price.
owing to the character and design they have
hecn constructed at less cost for unit o weight
than ordinary European locomotives.
How is il we can produce for less cost? There
are two reasons Tor that.
First, the character OF American wurkmen, their
disposition to be industrious and intelligent in
their work, ard second, the much larger use vi
machine tools and improved machinery.
The Baldwin Locomotive works began in a
small way in 1921 and has grown To bc the lars
est establishment OF the kird in the world with
an estimated capital employed oi $1,000 900 and
annual output of Sl7, 100000 and tumns
out four locomotives for every working day Ia

The foreign trade in locomotive has been
principally OF the last twenty-five years. and
within that period it has expanded to tho east.
