1t will be gratifying to the Republi-
cans to learn that Mr.. w, II. THAN
has decided to accept the Chairman
ship of the County Central Committee,
an honor rendered him at the com
mittec meeting last saturday after
noon. Mr.. Thain'S modeSty caused
him to doubt the wisdom of the Sc
lection, but he has been urged by many
Republicans and has finally consented
to lead the party in the fight

his party. Mr.. Odel has borne the
brunt of battle with other Republi-
cans and without hope Of reward. He
permitted his name to be placed on
Republican tickets when it was but a
farce to place that ticket In the field.
He sacrificed time and money, with
stood the insults and ignominy heap
ed upon Republicans in years gone by,
and bowed to defeat without a muir
muir. But he was ever ready for the
fray and It's said Of him that few men
gave more and received less in return
then he i'm his service to the Republi-
can party.
Mr.. Odell finally secured the city
postot,ice, and this necesstated his re-
signing from the cbaiimanship, a
ruling of the postotlicc department be-
ing against great political activity on
the part of postmasters Few Repub-
Leans in Cache have anything but
praise and admiration for Joseph
Odell, and it is with regret that they
learn of his enforced departure from
the head of the organization.
However. Mr.. Thain has been his
right hand man, is popular, and Will
receive the same hearty and loyal sup
port accorded his predecessor.

Mr.. Hearst.

Mr. Hearst can not be ignored as a
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton says Golfers Weekly. That he
should secure the nominal ion is in
credible, but that he has become a
power politically is fact to which we
can no longer close our eyes. Indeed
If we closed our eyes and ears to the
evidence, it would still creep In
through a less noble organ of sensa-
tion. Some people may like Mr..
Hearst. The particular individual
who Is recording this opinion does not.
Had Mr.. Hearst not been armed with
millions earned by his progenitor, we
should never have heard of him. Had he
used that money with an honest con-
science, and no eye to his own profit
through notOriety, we should have
heard little of him. Rumor had it
that when he went to New York,
with the intention of putting his
money into Journalism, he planned at
first to make by the power of wealth
the best paper in the city, and that II
was only when he looked over the
situation there that he decided II
would be easier to make a sensation
by establishing the worst paper in the
city. At any rate he proceeded, by
having the cash, to buy any able
journalist who Is for sale, to take the
undisputed lead in the exploitation
of war, assassination, class hatred
mendacious headlines, crime. anC
drunkenness, That he has been able
to hire much ability for his campaign
of notoriety, it would be folly 10 deny
His millions have now been turned
more directly into politics, anC
we are about to see how mucl
money combined with the most utter
demagogy, can accomplish. Perhap,
il may be as well to have this kind o.
adventurer, like the corrupt bosses Of
our States and cities, go his ful
length. The abSceSs may the sooner
burst. Mr., Hearst has won one stel
in his plan OF sclf-advanccment, name
ly notoriety, II do not care whether
people speak good or evil Of me, sale
L. L. BJnum, las long as they talk
about me- Mr., Hearst has forced
us TO admit that our ears. eyes, and
nose can not ignore him, and he Ia,
been to that bad eminence by money
raised.

Mr.. Thain's Identification with the
Republican party of Cache has been
from the beginning and he is familiar
with all the ms and outs that go to
make up successful campaign. He
is a red hot Republican who has
fought when fighting was vain
thing, mere struggle in which hope
could form no great feature. He has
been active in every move calculated
to bring success to that party of which
lac has been an honorcd member, and
his able counsel as a subordinate has
been most acceptable and helpful TO
those AT the helm. That the chief
| mantle has fallen upon his shoulders
at last is but the Just reward Of the
faithful. and he will wear his honor
with credit to himself and success to
! that party whose star has been in the
aScendancy during the past few years.
THE REPUBLICAN congratuatcS Mr..
THAN, and felicitates the Republican
party on the selection of such an ar
dent advocate and tireless worker in
that cause which has brought To the
country that unparalleled prosperity
which is marvel TO all nations.

The construction OF sidewalk
along both sides of West Center from
First West to the o. S. l.. station is a
great step forward for Logan. This
may work a temporary hardship on
some of the residents along the street,
and to Others it will be bitter pill,
but within two years after that walk
is down, the property owners object
ing now would not sacrifice that walk
for any amount of money.

DIFFERENCES or OPINION.

Judge WickerSham, of the Third judicial division, does not agree with the judges of the First and Second divisions in the appli- cation of the law relating to misdemeanOrs, in which is included gambling In his charge to the grand jury at Valdez on Oct. 29 last, Judge Wickersham explicitly stated to that body that the municipality of Valdez, being duly incorporated. had the power to deal with misdemeanors, and the district court should not be burdened with indict- ments for minor offenses committed within the town of Valdez.
 The learned judge then went on to state that there was another class of misdemean- ors, for the punishment of which specific penalty is imposed by the penal code or statutes of Alaska. This class being defined by an act of Congress, was beyond the juris- dictiOn of the town council of an incOrpOrat- ed town like Valdez, but, the judge said, Congress had provided by a prior law, that a commissioner sitting as a justice of the peace has jurisdiction to punish this class of crimes, and on him should be imposed the duty of trying all such statutory misdemean- OrS
 As result of the judges charge, no in dictmentS were returned against persons for gambling, and now, in all the towns of the Third judicial division, gambling is carried justice of the peace, occasionally imposing a fine for breaches of the law in this partic uar.

PANAMA AND COLOMBIA.

According to dispatches contained in ex- changes received in the last mail the Go lombian republic is indignant because of the part alleged to have been played by the United States in the recent ''insurrection,' by which the republic of Panama was estab- lished. Breach of good faith and treachery are openly charged by the Colombian off cials, who allege that the prompt recogni- tiOn of the republic of Panama by the gov ernment of the United States was in the in terestS of the Panama Canal Company.
 ''lt is not cOnceivable,' says dispatch from Bogota, the Colombian capital, ''that great nation to whom the world owes so many conquests and liberal doctrines in the field of international law should forget them when dealing with a weak and friendly country that has no other means of defense than its solemn protest to the American people that it should ignore the advice of it's noble founder and the memory of the counsels of the grand Lincoln, which have made it great and respected It is not con- ceivable that such a nation should adopt such high-h handed policy of vandalism. It is not conceivable the great and generous daughter of Washington, the most powerful country in existence should want to hu initiate and despite a glorious daughter of Bolivar. The Colombian people neither hopes to receive nor wish to ask help from other nations, but trusts only in it's indis putable rights, and expects they will be up held by spirit of fair play and the inde pendence of the American people,
 In the meantime the Panama mudClle has been threshed out in congress, the friends of the Nicaragua canal route waging viz Orous campaign in favor of that scheme, aided, it is said, by those who are opposed in toto to an isthmall canal Panama, how ever, with the support of the United States, it would seem, is destined to become an American appendage, and through it's terri tory the canal will be constructed

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS.

Some day or other, in Alaska, the people will see to it that only responsible men are elected to office. It may be some time in coming, but it will get here. The great difficulty lies in getting responsible compe- tent men to accept office which is dependent upon the vote of the people. They do not care to subject themselves to slander mud singing and the like; the game, they truly say, is not worth the candle. Therefore, self seeking men, irresponsibles, cheap grafters and sycophants, whose only stock in trade, besides ignorance, is monumental gall, find themselves in places of petty power. They are the "beggars on horse back, who ride to the devil.' What do they care about anything except that which will bring little grist to their own mill
 These conditions, however, are typical of all newly settled countries. In the early days of their existence government, and this is especially true of local government, is necessarily bad Unfit men seek the offices, and they are elected because no one else has time to devote to public affairs Then begins the era of misrule, of graft and misgovernment As the communities be- come permanently settled some progress toward real reform is made. But it is the work of years and much patience After a time good citizens rise to the necessity of

can say or write anything which will in any manner justify small coterie of men in overriding constitutional privileges or in ringing in such bare faced manner upon the nalienable rights of a free people.
 These four councilmen. well knowing that they have lost the confidence of all the people, save few a very few paid and interested boosters desire to retain office For what purpose: The answer will be obvious.
 The necessary ordinances by which they design to perpetuate themselves in office, were railroaded through the council, in d shameless manner, worthy only of men utterly irresponsible or recreant to their trusts.
 We do not know what the result may be, but we are greatly mistaken if the people of even a remote and isolated far northern town will permit themselves to be thus set at defiance by their servants.
 It is about time that the cry went forth: ''To your tents, o Israel ~

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FALL ELECTIONS

Both the Republicans and Democrats in the States profess to be cheered and encour aged over the result of the fall elections The Republicans rejoice because of the great Republican majorities in Ohio and Iowa and the victories in other states, which they claim were such as forbid any doubt of the places of those states in the presidential campaign this year.
 On the other hand the Democrats point to the triumph of Tammany in New York City, the redemption of Maryland,' their retention of Kentucky by an increased ma jOrity, and the reduction of Republican ma jorites in Massachusetts and other states
 At this distance we judge last falls cleo tions have but small political significance It was an off year, and in most of the states the party lines were not drawn with the usual tension that presidential election de- mands. Tammany's victory in New York simply shows that the ''fusion" administra- tion of Mayor Lowe was an abject failure. The fusiOnists promised more than they could perform. And besides, any fusion of diverse political forces is never long lived Fusion may carry an election, but it almost invariably results in the diffusion of the very abuses it was aimed to correct. Strict party government seems to be a necessity, and strong and vigorous minority party makes for good, honest, economical government

electing to office fairly competent and hon. est men. This time will surely come, not only to Nome, but to all other sections of this growing territory The official misfits will be relegated to the privacy where they belong. The people themselves can hasten the coming of that time. And, judging by the object lessons they have received of late, we believe they will

How many American citizens in Nome will endorse the revolutionary action of the four city councilmen who are attempting to hold on to offices, in defiance of law and public decency? When men deliberately violate law, custom and usage in an en- deavor to retain power, they must be actu- ated by ulterior, dishonest and unworthy motives. Can any other reasonable con- structon be placed upon such act?

THE PEOPLE ARE DEFlED.

A little oligarchy in the control of the municipal affairs of Nome is to be estab- lshed for an indefinite length of time, if four members of the municipal council can bring it about These members are Hill, Calvin, Rowe and Bard. not one of whom represents any material interest in the town, with the exception of Rowe.
 On Monday night these servants" of the people passed an ordinance. revolution ary in character, un American in every fea- ture, subservive of government in design, they propose to override not only the pro- visions of the Alaska code, which created municipalities in Alaska but to bid defiance to the very Constitution itself. These four men, with the lust of puny power strong upon them, in utter defiance of all ethics, legal or moral, propose that they shall con tinue in office until next November
 The law upon which the existence of Alaskan municipalities is based, provides that members of municipal councils shall be elected for the term of one year, and no longer. The law is presumed to be consti- tutional and yet these four men, by the cut and dried process of passing an ordinance, in fact, state that they are superior to the law which gave them the opportunity to be- come members of the city council.
 This unsavory deed does not smack of free America.
 It is counterpart of the acts of the sO- called ''presdents' of some of the little South and Central American republics, who, elected for a term of years, at the eXpira tOn of their term of office. often declare themselves dictators.
 Four irresponsible men have flung down the gauntlet to the people who elected them and so far as municipal affairs in Nome are concerned, they have declared themselves superior to the law and superior to the peO pie who elected them
 Their slogan is: 'The people be damn ed
 A colleague in the city council boldly charged the chief would be dictator with wanting to continue in office because of the ''summer graft" He made the statement in open meeting, and not one of the four uttered word in contradiction.
 They know the utter illegality of their course These men know that nine tenths of the law abiding, liberty loving citizens of this community-the men who believe in the flag and the Constitution of this republic condemn to man this high handed attempt of few irresponsible men to violate every precept and tradition of free government as enunciated by the Constitution of this country.
 No manly man would lend himself to such base, inglorious procedure. Such a '@an only earns for himself the contempt and the ridicule of all fair minded men, be they whom they may. No paid boosters
