GOOD ROADS KIND GOOD LAWS.
These Are What Alaska Most Needs,
Says Patterson.

United States Senator Thomas NJ. Patter-
son of Colorado arrived at San Francisco
yesterday en- route from Alaska to his
home in Denver. Senator Patterson is a
member of the Alaskan committee selected
by the Senate to visit that territory and
report on its legislative needs.
In company with Senator Dillingham; of
Vermont, Senator Burnham of New Hamp-
shire and Senator Nelson of Minnesota, the
other members of the commission, he sailed
from Seattle on the 2sth of last June and
reached here on the return trip August o.
The most urgent need of Alaska" said
Senator Patterson, 'is good roads.
Another crying need is for law. Every
man is law unto himself, and the admin
istratfon Of justice is woefully slow. The
mining laws need to be reformed and regu-
lated and courts appointed with power to
control the territory. We have not yet de-
cided upon what recommendations we shall
make to the Senate upon these matters,
but we shall do everything possible for the
Improvement of the territory"

But Nigel did not move, and it was In
vain that Mr.. Rede tried to drag the girl
along the lane toward the house. There
they all remained, silent obstinate, unyield-

horse and cart broke upon their ears. In
turned into the lane and a couple of police
men leaped down into the road and made
for Nigel
That's him.! cried John Mercer's voice.
And looking up into the cart. which now
contained only the driver, Piety saw that
this was John himself.
In an instant the hand of the police ser
geant was on Nigers shoulder.
You'd better come along quiet" said he.
I'm a-going to-" replied Nigel in low
voice.
He gave one look toward Piety, but did
not utter another word. He heard her sob
out his name as he mounted into the cart
and was driven away toward Carstairs.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The inquest on the body of the murdered
policeman was opened at Carstairs on tho
following day. AS to the manner of death
there was no possibility of a diversity Of
| opinion; the bullet wound in the head,
which had caused death, could not have
| been self-infiicted, and, moreover, no
weapon had been found, though the search
for it had been keen.
1t is safe to say that Nigel Treveddoe had
been tried and condemned by nine people
out of every ten before the inquiry opened !;
and. although the tenth person was ready
to admit the possibility of a doubt, 1t was
on sentimental rather than on reasonable
ground. There was a forlornness about the
plight of the young fellow which, added to
what was known of his passion for Piety
Rede, made the more tender hearted of the
neighbors pause ere they condemned him.
But before the coroner matters took an
unexpected turn. Although suspicion was
strong against Nigel, there was very little
proof forthcoming to connect him with the
murder, and it soon became evident that
the police, in arresting him on the previous
evening. had acted in a somewhat high
handed manner.
It was the miller who had given first in
formation Of the crime to the police at Car
stairs, and the superintendent had immo-
diately dispatched a sergeant and three
constables to the little house at Fourtays
There the sight of the body in the lonely
house, together with the information given
by John Mercer, who was watching with
some neighbors outside, had induced the
sergeant in charge of the party to go on
to st. Martins, where he had made the
arrest Nigel had denied the charge made
against him, but very quietly. and had al
lowed himself to be taken to, Carstairs and
locked up at the police station there with
out making any protest whatever.
At the inquest. however, where he was
brought up in custody, his taie though it
left much to be explained, was clear and
straightforward as far as it went.
He admitted having been in the neighbor-
hood of Hodges farm that afternoon,
though he gave no reason for his presence
there. He admitted having heard Miss
Rede calling to him, and having gone down
the hill without making any answer He
had then. according to his account, drunk
about half a tumblerful of raw whisky,
and had fallen asleep on chair by the
table in the front room.
From that time, SO he declared he had
never left the house until he started for
Rede's farm.
Piety. the most important witness Of all,
gave her evidence in low voice, but with
out hesitation. answering the questions put
to her as succinctly as possible. and gain

The railroad men continue to meet
death, the rate in the last three weeks
being larger than ever known, in same
length of time. Many causes are as
signed for this, the superstitious be-
lieving it only ''run' of hard luck.
We worked around railroads long
enough to firmly concur in some of the
SupersticiOus beliefs, but our notion is
that much is caused from the employ
ment of what is known to Old-time
brass-pOunders as "Ham" telegraph
operators. The older telegraphers are
to blame for this, as every country Of
flee has two or three blOck-headed
boys lOunging around, who will carry
messages, sweep up, bring water. etc,
to LEARN" AS soon as they are able
to answer the Office call, they want a
job, and will work for almost nothing.
In this way wages naturally decrease,
until few men can afford to work as
operators. If the roads will pay more
money to telegraphers, and employ
nothing but men of mature age, we
believe fewer wrecks will occur. 1t
requires healthy man to sit up all
night, and men should stake" the
train orders under which so many lives
are entrusted. The "Ham" is hard
article to be trusted at the key, and it
is wonder more orders are not bull
led"

daily papers says Mrs Carrie A Nation
appeared in the principal role of d SEN
Sational sceneat the White House last
Thursday. Her request to see the
President being refused she became
violent and had to be taken from the
executive offices by two police officers.
AS she was being escorted from the
building she shouted at the top of her
voice, Il ann going to pray for pro-
hibiton President, and we will have
one who will represent the people and
not the distillerS and brewers. You
may put me out of the building, but if
brewer or liquor dealer were here he
would be admitted at once" When
she was told the President was busy.
she replied "Well, that's funny?

his office. | should like to know why
they can see the President and we
mothers and sisters of the country
can tget near him. want an explana-
tion of that and Pm going to have it. +"
When Secretary Toeb requested her to
deSist, that they were his offices, she
replied, "YOu are mistaken. These
are the peoples offices, l propose to
do what l can right here and now to
crush the liquor reptile. You tell me
that the President is too busy to see
me. but l tell you that l don't believe
it" She went from there to the gal
lery of the Senate chamber, and, lean
ing over the balcony, cried at the Sem
atOrs: Saloons are anarchy: saloons
are treason and conspiracy" She
swung her arm around her head and
again shouted: SALOONS are anarchy. -
She was preparing to 90 on when a
doorkeeper caught her and pushed her
out of the door.

The custom to set apart day for
with the manner I'm
which it is observed, is peculiarly
American. InsOmuch as it seeks to
draw us from the material world and
put us in closer touch with the spirit
ual, by public manifestation Of our
gratitude for blessings, it is in line
with many other American customs,
which have in view the betterment of
mankind and the establishment of
civilized life. Such practices adOrn our
free institutions and mark us as ma
tiOn further advanced i'm enlightment
than any one of this or former ages.
The custom of making turkey the
principal food for that day, had its
origin with the Pilgrims, who landed
on Plymouth Rock, in December 1920.
They faced grievOus difficulties, in Or
der to worship God as they chose. In
the spring they sowed their fields re-
alizing that their lives depended on
the harvest Abundant crops blessed
their efforts, and Governor Bradford,
of Plymouth Colony, appointed a
Thanksgiving feast. He sent men in
to the forest in search of game for the
feast. They brought in many wild
turkeys, and the joyous gatherings
lasted several days. So from that
Thanksgiving day to this, period of
2S2 years, turkey has been the most
prominent part of the feast. In OBJ
serving the day we should be truly
thankful for the many blessings which
we have received, as giving thanks
was the only motive which impelled
the Pilgrims to observe such day.
The spirit of gratitude should be gen.
eral, and everything that savors of self
tiShneSs should be eliminated, as the
Pilgrims even had Indians as guests,
during these feastS. The tendency of
this age is to desecrate the day-to
turn from the sacred and real observ-
ance, and engage in practices which
are absolutely diSreputable, and for
eign to the object in view, when the
day is set apart. Many imbide too
freely of the enticing and baneful cup.
Others engage in games and other de-
grading practices, which would be ig-
nored by heathens. Such people have
the same conception of gratitude as
the fatted hog. which only grunts
when it has partaken of food. The
many times that the words, thank and
thanksgiving, appear IN the Book of
Inspiration is proof that grateful
soul is the one favored by God. Let
US attend church on Thursday and be
thankful and devotional in the prop
er Spirit. thereby manifesting our
appreciation of Gods blessings, and
developing one of the purest and most
beautiful traits of human character.

The Farmers Inning.

An objection is offered to the pro-
posed Federal aid for the building of
good roads. What do you suppose it
is? Namely: Should the Government
aid the farmers in road building it
would also in justice be asked to help
the town dweller to pave the streets.
For generation the patient farmer
has paid his county taxes and has seen
the most of it 60 to the erection of
court houses and the maintenance of
county seat officials, says the Cincin-
natl Post. For generations he has
paid taxes to the State and Witnessed
appropriations for State capitals and

Of the town folk. For generations he
has paid his Federal taxes and watch
ed Congress made up of lawyers and
business men appropriate 80 dollars
out of every hundred for the benefit of

port of the man who lives In town.
For generations he has seen the city
man receive his mail two to 10 times a
day. And it was only the other day
that Congress began to correct The in.
justice and give a part of the farmers
one mail day. Isn't it the farmers
turn now? He is beginning to think
so. The free rural mail system set
him to thinking. And when the post
Office Department replies to his petit
tiOn for free delivery that he can not
have it until he builds better highways
he is inclined to turn on Uncle Sam to
say: whats the matter with your
helping to build the roads? Isn't the
country part of your domain? Has
the farmer no rights his Government
is bound to respect? I've heen stone
long enough. If you demand better
roads for decent service to country

for reply.
