percentage of those who violated it, and if they had imprisoned every one new ones might constantly appear.
 It is the opinion of some that if the law against selling whisky to Indians were tested in the higher courts it would he held imperative as to the Indians of Rampant. The law is equally explicit against sell ing whisky and selling arms and ammunition (the same section in cludes both offenses); and courts would never convict white men on the latter clause.
 If the Indians were permitted to buy whisky as freely as the whites their women would be spared the necessity of ransacking the campin in search of white men for partners in their debauchery. The Indians conduct might improve; it certain ly could become no worse.
 The law so far has accomplished nothing for decency If it can in the future be so construed that the vicious of every race will be sub- ject to the same penalties that all will be equal under the lava step forward will be made toward better order and better conduct by natives and by whites.

would still be able to name some of the conditions of its relation to the stronger power. Will Alaska not be allowed to either treat or partic- ipate? These are the most impor- tant questions to be settled by the United States with regard to Alaska. They are mainly sentimental, it is true. Under one condition or an- other the gold of Alaska will be dug. Some manner of men and women will come and multiply and the land and the water will furnish them sustenance.
 The peopling of the country will only be delayed or hastened slight ly in any event. But the ideals and aspirations which take root in the young days of the territory's development will be lasting forces for good or evil, and the end there of no man may foresee.

GEN7LENEN, CLEAN UP!

At the setting in of cold weather last fall this paper advised the citi- zens to take precautionary meas ures against fire. The camp went through the winter without a single conflagration.
 At the same time it is notorious fact that the News office was ahre three times and was only saved from destruction by its neighbors and their water barrels. The paper preached a doctrine that proved it's own salvation, notwithstanding it's great sins.

E4IR WORDS.

Elsewhere in this paper is printed two editorial articles which ap- peared simultaneously in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, one of the greatest newspapers in the United States. The articles have to do with Alaska and Porto Rico, and might be pointed out by the aver age American citizen as a sample of fairmindedness toward the terri tories mentioned. Tn one, two and three years from now the fair words are liable to recur, their soothing cadence as potential as at the present time. To Alaska, in particular, the great St Louis paper holds out promises that people in the territory have no expectation of seeing fulfilled. What ground is there for the assertion that "a bill erecting Alaska into one or more territories is exceedingly likely to pass the congress which will assem- ble next fall or winter? Out of what does such exceeding likeli- hood come? There IS, in fact, no likelihood of anything of the kind; and the desirability of such action is problematical. At any rate, it is a mere detail. and is unimportant in comparison to other questions which confront Alaska and other outlying territories of the United States.

THE ENDLESS TROUBLE.

In ruling, as he did, that native women who have been married to American citizens can not be chased as native women under the law against giving whisky to Indians, Commissioner Green, of Rampant precinct, last week excited much criticism, favorable and unfavora- ble. Tie commissioner stated that his ruling was based on decisions of higher courts along similar lines. Whether the commissioner view of the matter is the proper one or not we are not prepared to say; he doubtless knows it sets new precedent at this place, and is re- sponsible for his action. This paper does not hesitate to say, however, that 1t seems to be more reasonable than the action of former colmiS- sioner who sentenced a white man to long term in jail for giving whisky to his own Indian wife. Of course if Commissioner Greens ruling is sound i'll law it justifies itself.
 For the time being, at least, the ruling is the law in this precinct, and one good 10 come of it is a determination by Deputy Marshal Dreibelbis to force all the disor- deily native women out of town or let them face charges before the commissioner.
 The one endless source of trouble iu this camp has been this whisky and-squaw racket. Each succeed ing case in court has turned over the stinkpCts atresh; each convic- ton has been greeted with cries of graft" and each acquittal has been dubbed rotten" i" It has caused more spying. lying. backbitiug and ill will than everything else com biued. officers who have done everything in their power Co enforce the law have caught but a small

OLb HENS WORRIES THE SOUTH
Telegraph and Telephone Service Crippled
Over Wide Area.

Louisville, Feb. 6.-IelephOne and
telegraph service over q wide area Of
the south is almost completely crippled
by heavy sleet. Railroad service has
also suffered, and in some towns the
lighting and street car facilities are
suspended. The tie-up is the most COM
plete in many years, and although the
telegraph companies and railroads have
large forces of men at work it may be
two or three days before normal cOndi-
lions resume.

thick icy coat Kentucky, Tennessee. A.

The Art OF Eating.

Eating is the first thing we learn to
do and the last thing we learn to do
right. Some never learn it ct all and
end their lives and their happiness
through the neglect. AS it consumes
much of our time and must always
do so it is q duty to make it an ade-
quate source of pleasure. 1t is some
thing which all may appreciate, and so
has much to do with democratizing
pleasure. AS long as pleasure is con-
fined to the higher-to music, litera-
ture or contemplation must be linn
tied and be the privilege CT few who
can have the required culture. 1t is
important to secure enjoyments which
all men may have and not depreciate
the capacity of the poor or low. That
there may be much happiness it must
be in the many and these can have
only a simple happiness. The good
things of life must be found in the
common acts in the elementary things
which are necessary to life itself or
which every one will occasionally
have. To disparage physical enjoy
ments-th0ugh all enjovments are such
is to try to limit enjoyment to the
rich or the educated.-Boston Cookin ing
