A PUBLIC OFFICE:
 A PRIVATE SNAP?

THE PRESS, and people of Alaska. who are free from the tinancial-politi- cal-hypnotic influence of Judge Wick ersham, are beginning to awake, as from a mesmeric trance and proclaim that the grand duke'' is not what he seems. Never has man so unworthy. wormed himself into the confidence of the people as has this would-be Czar of Alaska Wickersham. Every rightful judicial act; every public utterance- which contained a political boost for himself coming from him during his judgeship in Alaska, has been herald ed to the world through a sycophantic press, as famous.
 Federal officials deserve no exaltation for being occasionally honest and just, and conscientiously doing that which they are sworn and paid to do. When ever they accomplish some extraordin- ary achievement, beneficial to the peo- pie at large, they should receive proper CI4NO1 oCnASAt. Ouu8S VAShCIS1dIu AdS been false to the people in his judicial division in matters pertaining to their financial and judicial welfare. He has been false to the federal government in his administration of affairs pertain ing to civil government in the Third judicial division. He has demonstrated himself to be shrewd political manip- ipulator, willing to sacrifice his con stituents welfare for political power and judicial prestige.
 He delights in harassing, with his rule or ruin policy, those who are not submissive to his corrupt methods. Why. has he and his henchmen so bit terly opposed any honest investigation into the charges of graft, corruption and incompetency made against him.

PEOPLE OF ALASKA ONLY
 DEMAND SQUARE DEAL"

SINCE Judge Wickersham has be- come the possessor of valuable mining claims. town property and water rights within his division, obtained through his official position and power, he at tempts to create a perpetual grand dukeship for himself, with the Third judicial division as his duchy. Had the president sent more reliable man into this division ill 1904, than his special representative" w. A. Day, proved to be, to investigate judicial affairs. he would have been spared considerable ''weariness" "-caused by constant com plaints regarding the corruption among federal officials in Alaska.
 The charges of graft and corruption. emanating from Rampant precinct, rel ative to Judge Wickersham and others connected with his administration, are true, and based on matters of record. So long as the president refuses to re- ceive the proofs of same, and retains IAAC a~NOoON A4A O1ANO, 11O IINOL OAHCNL the complaints to grow stronger as the corruption becomes greater. If these federal officials have abused their pow CT, why haggle with them as to why they done so? If they are the only available timber in the Republican par ty, then let the president choose from among the democrats, as he has done in other cases-W. A. Day, for exam pie.
 The similarity is quite noticeable in Judge Wickersham's protection of his appointee. Commissioner J. Lindley Green, against the charges of incompe- tency, graft and corruption filed against that official. and the action of President Roosevelt in his protection of Judge Wickersham against the charges of i'm proprieties in office, graft and corrupt

QUITS The BOARD BEES BEAT NAPLES
Dean uiggett Resigns as Re-
gent of University

Col. w. NJ. Liggett, dean of the state
agricultural school, yesterday resigned
from the board of regents of the uni
Versity, and b. F. Nelson Of Mime
apolis, by agreement, was Immediately
appointed his successor.
Dean Liggett was appointed a MEM
ber of the state board of regents In
1888 and has served continuously since
then as a member of the executive
committee. He has met with consid-
erable criticism for the last few years
in the matter of holding both positions,
1t being alleged that his position was
that of a man who assisted in employ
ing himself, passed rules for his own
conduct and appointed his own duties.
The state legislature has several times
attempted to pass bills preventing a
state officer from holding two positions,
but failed. A bill is now before the
legislature to prevent a regent from
holding an office in the school. Col.
l41ggett, however, asserts that the pres
ence of the bill before the legislature
has nothing to do with his resignation,
which he says was prompted solely by
his increasing duties as dean Of the ag-
rieuIthraf college.
AB.sF. Nelson, his successor, is a prom
inent lumberman of Minneapolis and
mas been active in Democratic party
ranks for years.

SETS PRECEDENT IN
INSURANCE CASE
Court of Appeals Decides Point
Involving Forfeiture of
Policy

Considerable Importance attaches
the decision rendered by the circuit
court of appeals sustaining the find
ings of the circuit court of Missouri in
the case of Mary F. Hayden VS.. Frank
lin Life insurance company.
A distinction is drawn by the court
discriminating between a so-called old
line insurance company and an assess
ment company.
The plaintiff sued to recover on
$1,000 policy issued by the Merchants
Life insurance company on the life of
David ]. Hayden, which was prior to
the death of the insured reinSured In
the Franklin Life insurance company.
The legal question in issue was
whether the nonforfeiture law Of Mis-
souri, was applicable to assessment
companies as well as old life compa-
MES.
The pleadings of the case set forth
the fact that Daniel j. Hayden was in
sured in the company afterward taken
over by the defendant for $1,000 Nov.
%, 1892. That he neglected to make
any payments after June Is, 1899, and
that he died Nov. Is, 1901. The con-
tention of the plaintiff was that the
nonforfeiture insurance law of Mis-
souri, precluded the possibility Of the
policy lapsing, Notwithstanding the
fact that the premiums had not been
paid The citation Of the statutes of
that state agree that after three an
nual payments have been paid on a life
insurance policy Of the nonassessment
variety that it is nonforfeitable, but it
shall be subject to a computation on
the net value of the policy, according
to the table of the American Expert
ence of Mortality, with Az per cent
interest.
The court of appeals in which Cir
cult Court Judges Sanborn and Van De-
vanter and District Court Judge Phil
lips sat, sustained the decision of the
circuit. court in the opinion that an
assessment life insurance company did
not come under the nonforfeiture rule,
er to respond to an assessment result
ed in a forfeiture of his policy. The
decision of the circuit court in favor
of the defendant was accordingly af-
firmed,

LIMITATIONS HOLD
IN REVENUE SUIT
Governments Refusal to Re.
turn Money Collected Is
Sustained

In the case of the Christie Street
Commission company against the
United States for the recovery of
$4,S1I76, alleged to have been illegally
paid to the commissioner of internal
revenue of Missouri, the circuit court
of appeals handed down a decision
yesterday affirming the decision of the
circuit court In which a direction of
verdict in favor of defendant was rem
dered.
The allegations Of the complaint set
forth the fact that the plaintiffs, while
engaged in the stock brokerage busi-
ness in Missouri, were approached by
the commissioner of internal revenue
between Jan. 1, 1898, and Aug. Is, 1898,
and under protest were forced by
threats to pay the amount cited in the
complaint.
1t was further alleged that the pay
ments were collected illegally and un-
authorizedly by the commissioner, and
that they were not required under the
act providing for ways and means to
meet war expenditures" The COM
plant also alleged that the commits
sioner of internal revenue had subse-
quently decided that this money had
been Illegally collected and errone-
ously taken from plaintiff, and that it
should be returned.
Inc TWO questions at issue In the
contention were whether a claim for
the repayment of internal revenue ille-
gally collected, but which has not been
allowed, can be maintained against the
United States, and also whether the
two years of the statute of limitations
apply to a case of this character.
After citing sundry decisions the
court of appeals decided that the plain
tiff was barred from action, as the
H..
years limitation period, and no action
had been started within that interval.
The other question of recovery
against the United States for revenue
collected through an erroneous inter
pretation of the law was not gone into
in detail, as sufficient cause for sus-
tanning the decision of the lower court
was found in the fact that the court
had lost jurisdiction through a lapse
of time.
