While other officials advocated a congress sional delegate. "either elective or appoin,ive," Judge Wickersham said Alaska ought to have dele gate and the delegate ought to be elected. In his capacity as judge Judge Wickersham las done his part well; but in his capacity as an interested American citizen he has shown at his best.

THE destructive fire which did $2oo, 1000 worth of damage in Dawson on the night of Sept. B gives emphasis to word of caution to people Of Rampant. Under pres ent conditions there is more at stake than the mere money value of the property which might be obliterated in the town: every pound of sup plies is needed, and the loss of any considerable portion would be a disaster to the entire district. Therefore in installing the winter heaters let every one see to it tha.: the flues are properly safeguarded and every precaution taken. Bar rels of water kept in easy reach might be the means of avoiding a serious calamity. The season of greatest danger is at hand; but all through the winter months the feel ing of insecurity will be intensified by redhot stoves and the absence of adequate means to cope with a fire once il gains headway.

THE brief telegram announcing the attempt to assassinate President Roosevelt will cause a feeling of universal alarm. Such outrages are too common in the world now to cause feeling of surprise. It does not matter that the author of the crime is said to be crazy-there are other crazy people at large who are likely 10 develop similar symptoms. In view of the fact that all other measures have proved intellectual to abate this particular kind of mad ness, would it not be worth while for the president to try shooting the next person who wantonly as- sails him? Is it probable that he would ever be molested again if he should exercise his right as an American and with his own hand slay any one who sneaks up like a coward and attempts to murder him? Would the people honor him less if he did? It is worth trying.

RICH BODY OF ORE
 STARTS STAMPADE
Nevada Rush May Be Greatest
 in Years.

Outside papers say Goldfeld, New, is experiencing the begin- ming of rush such as no mining camp in the States has seen in recent years. Already stampede has begun from all parts of Nevada, and the fever is likely to spread to the surrounding states until the best days of Virginia City will be discounted. The strike that has caused all the excitement was made in the Saudstorm claim. in the north edge of Gold6eld. The ore runs s6,ooo in free gold in an enormous blind lode forty lee, wide. This value oi s6,ooo. il is claimed. has never been equalled. and the exten, of the ore body has intoxi. eated every man within reach of the news with the idea of fabulous fortune.

TRANSCONTINENTAL
 CANADIAN RAILWAY
Will Cause a New Town ill
 Southeastern Alaska.

Vancouver, B. C., Sept. Io.- Private advices from Port Simpson, B. C., state that the Grand Trunk Pacific party, comprising Charles M. Hays, F. w. Morse, William Wainwright and three engineers, inspected the harbor to determine its utility for terminal purposes. They announced that their choice would be either Port Simpson or Tucks Inlet. which latter place they are now visiting.
 It is very evident that the selec- tion of Port Simpson or any point near as the terminus of the new Canadian transcontinental railway will be the means of bringing to life a new city in southeastern Alaska.
 Already some enterprising Amer jeans have their plans perfected to locate a new town across the chan mel from Port Simpson. if the ter- miual goes there or to Big Bay. ten miles below that place. The dis tanee from Port Simpson to the Alaskan shore is about eighteen miles.
 Those who know of these plans say that the United States custom house will have to be moved to a point more convenient to Canadian territory on account of the building of shis new line through northern British Columbia. and that 1t will have to go ,o the new town.

CALL AN ELECTION.

Under the above caption the first number of the Alaska Tran script, launched at Juneau Sept. 9, with John w. Frame at the helm, prints the article reproduced below The Transcript fails to state in what case the decision referred to was rendered.
 "Just a word to our friends that have been believing for territorial government. Now that the su- preme court of the United States has decided that we already have an organized territory, do they favor the election of delegate to congress? Will Governor Brady call the election? If he will not, then the territorialists and all others will have some cause for opposing his reappointment. The supreme court of the United States, within the last three months, has decided that Alaska Is an organized terri tory differing from Oklahoma and New Mexico only i'll the fact that it has an executive and judicial de- partment of government only. That court declares that because the peo- pie are accustomed to a territorial government with legislative de- partment they are prone to believe that plan of territorial govern ment without legislature is not an organized territorial government. The court says further that if Alas ka were not an organized territory of the government that the license taxes collected here would be un- constitutional. This puts to sleep the idea of all those curbs,one juris,s who have held that the constitution does not follow the flag to Alaska.
 Another thing declared in this late decision of the Highest court in America is tha, if it can be shown that the federal government is col. lec,ing by excess taxes a larger amount than is necessary to defray the expenses of the territory that it would be a violation of the clause in the constitution requiring such taxes to be uniform. for the reason that such excess would rot be a local lax to delTay the expenses of the organized territory of Alaska. bu, to deifay the expenses of the federal government This decision of the court sends glimmering the

lected as the secretary and chief exec
utive officer of the Panama canal COM
mission. The younger Mr. Murphy has
been in Boston since September, and
every day that he has been here he has
made friends for himself and new
friends for The Republic. Therefore, it
is not to be wondered at that the good
news which came concerning the father
of such q son made everybody feel
glad in the office of Boston's Leading
Weekly" The salary of the secretary
is $4,000 per year and it is none too
high for an official whose chief function
will be to oversee the spending of

priation, and probably as much more
before the enterprise is consummated,

RELIGION AND LAW TO THE FRONT.

While the situation in Colorado is
critical and seemingly desperate. the
supporters of good government should
not lose heart. Present conditions are
but temporary. The deSpicable action
of the legislature in detiantly disre-
garding the will of the people as eN-
pressed ut the polls led to lawlessness
On the part of the union miners; the
lawless acts of the miners led to meas
ures on the part of the citizens of the
mining towns. The result is anarchy.
American citizens have without any
process of law been seized and deport-
cd beyond the confines of the state.
Public officers elected by the people
have under threat of death been forced
to resign their Offices, and others who
would carry out the wishes of the
enraged citizens. placed in their posi-
lions. The present situation in Colora-
do is due to a disregard for law. The
Citizens Alliance of the communities
infected are now committing the very
same lawless acts which the miners
themselves practiced. Labor unions
must learn that they cannot hope to
succeed by lawlessness. Such pro-
gram inevitably produces state of
anarchy. Disregard for law and the
Punishment of religion from the daily
lives of men will result in producing
n state of society when force is met by
force and injustice with injustice. The
Western Federation of Miners has
gone much further than such men as
Mitchell and Gompers would go. They
have practically declared themselves
Socialists. They have followed the
leadership of men who teach irreligion,
the impotency of the ballot and the
