VIEWS OF SECRETARY ROOT.
Trusts Cannot BE Dot Rid or by Tariff
Revision, ~ d Democrats
Declare.

Secretary of War Roots recent
speech at Boston was not long, but he
made number of good points and
made them very clearly. AS the occa-
sion was banquet Of the Home Mar
ket club the speech dealt exclusively
with the tariff question. Its main
points were, first, that the important
thing in tariff legislation is adherence
to protection and not to any particu-
lar schedule of rates; second, that
trusts cannot be got rid of by tariff re-
vision without killing off independents
manufactures at the same time; third,
that no tariff can be framed that will
please erybody and satisfy all inter
ests; fourth, that revision of the tariff
should be intrusted only to its friends.
None of these points is new, but Sec
rotary Root has a way of putting
things that gives them new aspect,
says the Indianapolis Journal. His
statement that "there is no fetch in
tariff schedules and no sacredness in
particular rates Of duty" meant that
II is the principle OF protection that
must be preserved. Gen. Harrison
made the same point IN one Of his
campaign speeches delivered in this
city in September, 1888. He said:
''rhe republican party holds that a pro-
tective tariff Is constitutional, wholesome.
necessary We do not offer fixed sched-
uie. but a principle. We will revise the
schedule, modify rates. but always win an
Intelligent provision as to the eject upon
Domestic productions and the wageg OF our
working people. o 1t may be that re-
auctions should be made; II may be that
some duties should be increased; bun We
want to know whether those who propose
the revision believe In taking thought OF
our American workingmen In fixing the
rates or will leave them to the chance Eff
fects OF purely revenue tariff"
No person could ever improve on
Gen. Harrison's statement Of a propo-
sition, but Secretary Root made the
same point very clearly. What he said
applied equally to the proposition that
when tariff revision becomes advisable
or necessary the work should be COM
United to the friends Of projections and
cot to Its enemies.

/ AKOWMA'S RUSE
>~~~c@~~-
! BY George Harlow Clark.

4 KOWMA was a lad of II when this
n incident happened. With his
widowed mother and twin brother,
Nipsu, he lived in one of a half-dozen
cabins forming small settlement
on the Koyukuk. The village was
near the mouth of a stream which
had its source in the Lockwood Hills,
north of the arctic circle.
1t was a severe winter. Besides
the cold, the natives had also to con-
tend with famine. Salmon, on which
they relied principally for food, had
been less abundant the preceding
summer than usual, and when the
season closed it had been foreseen
that the stock of dried fish would be
exhausted long before spring.
The utmost exertion on the part
of the hunters had failed to make up
for the deficiency; moose and Carl
bou had apparently migrated, and
the black bears, too, had disappear
ed By the end of January the little
community was face to face with
actual starvation.
Akowma's mother had brother
dwelling farther up the Koyukuk In
the hope that he might be able to
spare little food for them, his
starving relatives resolved to apply
to him for help.
Accordingly, early in February,
Nipsu set out for his uncle's cabin,
while Akowma stayed at home to
hunt grouse, ptarmigan and other
small creatures, on which the natives
were now forced to subsist.
Although the river is so crooked
that three days were required to
make the journey by canoe, single
long days march overland would
suffice; but the trail was practicable
only in cold weather, when innumer-
able ponds and swamps were frozen
over.
Ordinarily Nipsu would have trav-
elled with sledge and dogs, but the
last of their faithful draft-animals
had been long since sacrificed, and he
was compelled to trust to his snow
shoes. This was no hardship, how
ever, to the youth, who, like all
native lads, was an expert snow-shoe
runner.
In case game of some kind should
be encountered, he took with him a
musket that had belonged to his
father, together with few rounds
of ammunition. A rawhide pack
strap, to be used in bringing home
the provisions, il his mission proved
successful, completed his equipment.
Daily during Nipsu's absence
Akowma ranged the woods assidu-
ously, in common with the other
men. He was armed only with bow
and arrows, but these answered his
purpose admirably, for he was a
skillful archer and his shooting was
confined to birds.
Gray jays, the mocking-birds OF
the far north; the black-and-white
woodpecker plying his pick industri-
Ously with resonant rat-a-tat-tat ON
spruce and poplar; pine grosbeaks;
crossbills which, except for their
queer, scissorlike' bills, were living
miniatures of the grosbeaks; sleek
brown waxwings, with pointed crests
proudly erected--all- these were tar
gets for his unerring shafts.
Hitherto he would have disdained
to draw bow for the sake of such
insignificant quarry, but now.
spurred by hunger, he did SO without
conjunction. The redpolls and
chickadees alone were not molested;
youagcr lads might hunt them, but
they were so sprightly and cheerful
. that he preferred to spare them.

 "Now, l should like to meet sim if there is such person, for l feel very much as the poet who said, How large is Alexander, Pa, that people call him great"
 "It was, in fact, while on a recent fish ing trip with Colonel Lush, and while listening to enc Of his stories, that the necessity for an anti-fsh lying law dawn ed upon me.

THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1903.
LET'S INCORPORATE.

The close attention of SENTINEL readers is called to the Charter Bill published in this issue. In our opinion this is as good a measure as could have been passed in the interest of all Alaskan towns that desire to incorporate and become municipalities, as it grants all the powers for law-making that could be asked, many of which have been heretofore abridged. And'not only is the instrument worthy one in that respect, but the greatest bar rier and most objectionable point heretofore existing to incorporating has been removed We refer to the matter of dividing the licenses with the federal government. Un-
 fer the new law every incorporated town is allowed to retain ALL the license money for school purposes and internal expenses and improve ments: and besides thi. all fines for violation of city ordinances are covered into the treasury Of the municipality. This means that town the size of Wrangell can now afford to incorporate and it would be largely to her interest to do so. Roughly figured there is in the neighborhood of 5000 in licenses collected in Wrangell: to this may safely be added from S5O0to 5000 in fines, and it appears to Us that upon that our schools could be maintained nicely. other expenses could be met and there would be a surplus. with judicious manage ment. Some might argue that to incorporate means immediate tax ation and hardship. While the new law coniers upon councils the power to levy a maximum tax of two per centum per annum, it does not follow that II shall be done,and SENTINEL i of the opinion that it would never be found necessary. Therefore. all things considered, We believe that Wrangell should pro- ceel to incorporate. and the sooner the better.
