much of these two great forces to ask that the saloons them. elves be keft within the bounds of he law :? It is doubtful if ever in all Alaska single saloon has made any pre- tense of obeying the law. 1hey are oper seven days a week and gambling is only regulated by the amount of money to be gained at the tables. Now that the time for the spring cleanup is approao hing, Would 1t not be well for some of the numerous people in the district who squandered last winters grub stakes in saloons to ask that the law be enforced?
 That would be bad law and worse public opinion which would justify sa'oon man in calling on the courts to avenge an insult, in his unlawful place, by a drunken per son, and fail to heed demand that all such places themselves be held accountable for their own trans gressiors.

SOME LESSONS OF LAST
 IFEEk.

Some very useful .e sons may be drawn from the proceedings in the commissioner court at Rampant lust week. One of these is that 1t is a.wa,s advisable to keep out of cour, as long as possible; and, if once ill, to get out the quickest and cheapest way permissible. Stub bornness in court gains s''ant honor md no cash.
 Another lesson and one that could be studied with profit by others than the one who furnished the example la week-is tha, public opinion ard the law will rot excuse outrageous conduct on the part of individuals, even though that conduct may be directly trace able to bad and unlawful surround ings Each tub has finally to stand OH its own bottom.
 This particular offense could not possibly have occurred at the hour it did if the very man laying the complaint had not been running his place in violation of the la ": the offender might not have been so indeceu,ly drunk if the saloon had closed at t2 o'clock that Saturday night. But the saloon did not close: the man in his drunkenness abused the proprietor in such vile language that after paying the pen al,y shame impels him Co publicly apologize: and the victim of the foul words invoked the vengeance ol the law. All this has been sufii- cien,ly thraShed ont The law and toa great extent public opinion up holsls the action of the saloon man. Verv good

THE D/E7R/CH B/LL.

Following is that portion of the Dietrich bill defining the scope of the law making power of the pro- posed Alaska government board:
 Sec. ?. That the Alaska government board shall be convened and Irorogued by the governor whenever he shall deem 1t expcdient and shall have authority to make laws for Alaska, not inConsi,te with the laws of congress, upon the fol lowing subjects and such others as con Rais ng of revenue by taxation, appropri- ation and expenditure of the public funds of Alaska construction and maintenance of wagon roads and trails, establishment and maintenance of an educational sys- tenn, care of the indigent and insane, preservation of game, public health and morals, establishment of constabulary outside the limits of incorporated towns with powers and duties similar to those of the northwestern police of Canada, creation and organization of municipali- ties. including the making and repeal of ordinances therefor. and the establish ment and regulation of mining districts provided-etc.
 The proviso contains practically all the mining regulations needed, and it must be admitted they are good ones. Many other provisions of the bill are excellent.
 But to say, as II. D. Reynolds of Valdez did before the senate ter ritorial committee on Jan. 20. that such board with such limited powers would give Alaska an op- portunity for self government with in safe limitations and without added taxation. k not true Mir Reynolds was we'll within the truth when he said the board would re- licve congress Ci the necessity of threshing out the new, immature and ephemersl problems, leaving them free to sc, upon the larger affairs oi permanent government. It is by uo means impossible that a governing beard tx he best Alask a can hope Zoe at present C ts ahso'

lutely certain that 1t would be an improvement on the present plan. But to call it self government is like weighing out black sand and trying to pass it for gold. Mean
 time, the usefulness of the board would be enh lnced by making it wholly appointive, so r',t there would be no divided responsibility.

Gov. Brady, Collector Jarvis and Harry D. Reynolds, of Valdez, spoke in favor of the Dietrich bill before the senatorial committee. Tie governor and Mir. Reynolds indorsed the bill unqualifedly, and Capt. Jarvis favored the principle involved so lar as 1t gives local self government.
 Douglas Island News: We note with alarm that Gov. Brady gives his personal indorsement to the Dietrich bill, providing new form of government for Alaska. There is government by injunction; gov ernment by receivers; and now Alaska is threatened by plan of government by appointment-and they call that self-government.

CLERGYMEN RIGHTS IN PC.
 LITICAL MOVEMENTS.
Rev. MT. Clark Remarks on the Subject
 at Ministers, Meeting.

Tn his address to the members of the New Haven Association of Congrega- tional Ministers in Yale Divinity school yesterday morning. the Rev. Charles F. Clarke, of Hamden, took the stand that clergymen were not disbarred from taking part in political movements be i cause they were members of the clergy, ] and his remarks were in some respects < q justification of the. agitation started by the Rev. Newman smyth for the i defeat of the two men who are most { prominently mentioned for the seat in 4 the United States senatea
 The Rev. Mir. Clarke expressed the { opinion that the ministers, no matter what their creed, had as much right to \ enter into politics as any one else, and, { in fact, he looked upon 1t as their duty to do so, where the people needed guidd- x ance Tn the selection of q man to fill q f high public office Only men of high l moral standing in the state should pc selected to take the office of United
 States senator and while he mentioned no names in his remarks he made It f sulite clear to his hearers that the op- N position to the course taken in the sen- i atorial fight in the incoming legislature lby the Rev. Dr. Snnyth was not based \ on the sound principles of religion. II .l being the ministry's recognized duty Ito guide all persons in all things, he did lnot see why the clergy should not take {. a hand in politics, when it was neces- Isary. as well as in all other matters l If the influence of the clergymen of the
 state could bring about the appoint
 ment of a man who was known to pc
 hetter suited than others for the office sI to which he aspired, then he thougn' I that it was the duty of the ministers tc flavor this mans candidacy for the posi- s ltion.

New York, Sept. 90. Dear Sir:
j. q. Deitz writes us under date of
September 18th, from Weatherford,
Texas, giving his final estimate of the
growth Of the cotton crop Of 1905,
which lie puts at 5, $50, 1872 bales Of 500
pounds weight.
In his report lie goes exhaustively
into the causes Of this disastrous
failure, taking the cotton belt by
states, telling Of his observations in
each state and the history of the crop
from the middle of March to Septem-
Der 16th-all Of which he details with
painstaking care.
In his summary of the causes Of the
prospective small yield, are four we'll
defined reasons, as follows:
/. A large reduction in acreage.
Q. Poor results from the use q
fertilizers in the Atlantic states.
(This he explains by saying that tht
weeds and grass absorbed the fruit
making properties Of the fertilizer be
fore the cotton plant was ready t
take on fruit.
8. The rayages Of insects in tn
western part Of tho cotton belt.

IMPROVE YOUR SCHOOL HOUSES.

AS the time for opening county
schools approaches, wo confider il
appropriate to call the attention of our
people to the Importance of making
them both comfortable and attractive.
AS some one has suggested the houses
should be repaired, thoroughly cleaned
and painted or whitewashed, the cs-
ters cleaned out and covered, and the
grounds made attractive There is nc
better Indication of taste and refine
ment of a neighborhood than neat,
well-kept school houses. They also
inspire the children with zeal. When
the patrons are unit in this work,
and each does his or her part, the cost
is practically nothing.
Though divergiDg somewhat from
the subject, we might suggest that we
should not expect our children to dc
all the learning this session: The
older people need to learn this i'm.
portant lesson, and it is we'll to begin
now, we undeIvalue the Importance o1
making our homes, as we'll as our
school houses, attractive. It enhances
the value Of our lands more than any
one thing, except good roads. Port
Gibson Reville.

4. The extremely unfavorable
growing season.
He adds, this has not been a cotton
year and the plant is poorly fruited
all over the cotton belt, with the ex.
ception of southern Texas. He says
this years crop is mainly four lock
bolls, while last years crop was
mainly five lock bolls. He also
mentions the small yield of lint from
seed cotton:
In the past Mr.. Deltz's estimates of
the cotton crop have been severely
criticized at the time they were made,
but when the crop was marketed, and
the final count was known, his esti.
mates were singularly correct.
His estimate of the crop of 10000
made on or about October 20, 1903,
was 10, 900. 600 bales.
His estimate of the crop of 10O4-5
made on Sept. 16, 1904, was 13, 142. 600.
Mr.. Deitz's entire time and atten-
tion has been devoted to inspecting
cotton fields since March 10. During
this period he has made three trips
across the cotton belt-going into the
fields and examining the cotton plant
in all stages of its growth and fruit
age.
You doubtless remember we stated
in previous letter that Nh. Deitz was
for nine years in the employ of the
senior member of our firm, in charge
of cotton plantations, and we think he
has but few equals in estimating a
cotton crop.

DR.. WOODS ADVICE.
Urges Farmers to Hold Their
Cotton for II Cents Per
Pound.

DR.. Will H. Woods, Secretary of
the Mississippi Division, Southern
Cotton Association, gives the fol-
lowing to the press:
st want to thanK the county sec.
retaries and ginners, who have re.
sponded SO readily to our circular
concerning the collection of the g.
cent tax on every bale of cotton to be
ginned this fall. The ginners are
falling into line nicely. This hearty
cooperation of this influential class
of men throughout our state evidences
a growing healthy sentiment in favor
of the good work done by and the
purposes Of the organization.
''lt is the desire Of the leaders in
Mississippi to go to the next con-
vention with an unparalleled record
for harmonious organization.
1T is further my purpose to make
the headquarters Of the Mississippi
division of the southern cotton asso-
citation sort of agricultural depart
ment for the state. I am perfecting
plans whereby to secure weekly re-
ports from every country in the state
on conditions of crop, weather and
| all other matters concerning the
interests of the farmer and financier.
In our state we have no depart
ment of agriculture; this office pro-
poses to supply the deficiency, and
solicits assistance from all reliable
sources.
"We receive now all the govern
ment reports on crops and climate,
which are very good, and, in making
up our weekly report for the county
secretaries and presidents, these will
be used in connection with our own
information, SO that, when report
goes out of this office, it will embrace
the government observations, and
also reports from practical men in the
field from every section of the state.
''Ihis Office is almost daily re-
ceiving requests for organizers and
speakers. Our campaign for or
ganization will begin in full form
about Oct. 1.
''And in the meantime l would
say to the farmer who has cotton to
sell to stand by the action of the
committee on fixing the price at the
Asheville convention. The crop is
not being made; all reports from
Mississippi during the last week re-
ported deterioration but three or four,
and this even lowers the estimated
crop. The difference between 10
cents, which cotton is more than
worth, with present prospects, if the
farmer sells at ten cents, and the
price at which the middleman sells
his holdings, becomes loss to the
producer, therefore, the committee
which fixed this price did so be-
lieving they were giving the producer
a chance, if he only backs their
judgement. of at least making the
extra cent. Why give the specula-
tor and middlemen the profit which
can become the producers
