diver at Only Two Places.

State chairman. yesterday gave out the
reply Of Judge Selden P. Spencer to the
proposal Of Congressman w. D. vandiver
for six joint discussions on the issues OF
the campaign. Judge Spencer was out
Of town yesterday and left his reply with
Mr.. Niedringhaus.
Judge Spencer says that professional
duties Will prevent him from accepting
the full challenge of Congressman Van
diver. He Is billed for other speeches un-
der the auspices of the State Committee.
In his letter he takes umbrage at the
publication of Mr.. vandivers letter,
posais believed that the personal fea-
lures Of the correspondence would have
eventually prevented discussions on the
stump otherwise.

CRYING 70 DEAF EARS.

The statement made by Mr.. A. p.
Swineford. formerly governor of Alas
ka, corresponds exactly with the argu-
ments that The Globe has been
making for justice to that great terri
tory. The facts are before the people.
and the appeal to them against the
contemptuous indifference of congress
and the disregard of American institu-
tions and individual rights which, it's
policy boldly announces.
Alaska is as much entitled to local
government Of it's own as was the
Northwest Territory. There is no more
difficulty of communication between
the different parts of it. There is no
greater sparseness of population in one
case than in the other. The main diff
ference between them is in favor of
Alaska. There people ask territorial
government. This, to one who remem-
bers how few and feeble are the rights
and privileges of territorial inhabitants,
seems a modest request. Yet this is
what no one in authority seems pre-
pared to grant.
The people Of Alaska today, compris-
ing not far from 100000 white men
drawn from the vigorous. adventurous
and competent people Of the several
states. have actually fewer rights than
the Ealays of the Philippines. They

DEADHFADS RIDE
At THEIR OWN RISK
Stipulations in Free Passes
Exempt Railroads, Says
Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 23.-The
question as to whether a messenger on
a railroad train, riding on a free pass.
who loses his life on account of an act
of carelessness on the part of the rail-
road company stands on the same foot
ing as the passenger who pays his
fare, was today decided by the United
States supreme court against the free
passenger. The case in which the opin-
ion was rendered was that of the
Northern Pacific VS.. Louise H. Adams
and Frank H. Adams, heirs Of Jay H.
Adams, an attorney -at-law of Spo-
kane, Wash, in 1898.
Mr.. Adams was riding on a pass
which contained a stipulation exempt
ing the company from liability in case
Of accident. The federal circuit court
for the district of Washington state
awarded damages to the extent Of $14,-
900 and the circuit court of appeals
for the Ninth circuit affirmed this judg-
ment.
The opinion of the supreme court
was handed down by Justice Brewer
and reversed the lower courts. The
court held that there could be no high
er measure Of duty to the heirs than to
Adams himself, and that there is moth
ing in public policy to prevent a con-
tract between a common carrier and a
free passenger exempting the carrier
from liability in case of accident. The
company, it said, waived it's right to
exact compensation from Adams. He
was not in the power of the company
and obliged to accept its terms. He
freely and voluntarily chose to accept
the privilege offered and having ac-
cepted that privilege, the court said
cannot repudiate it's conditions.

mitted, takes from a friendly but help
less republic the very property that It
was bound to hold sacred.
This is what we and all people who
think soberly who do not feel bound
either to support an administration that
has rushed into mistake or q constitu-
ency that clamors for action on the
canal no matter at what sacrifice, see
in the vote by which the treaty was
ratified yesterday. 1t is one page OF
our national history that the devoted
child of the future can never turn
without a blush which we had hoped
might never tinge the cheek of an
American.
