another view of it. MIR. Carmack,
if he didn't know what was going

happen. If he doesn't believe,
with nearly all the people of Ten

knows at least that it was one of

America is a name Synonymous with
q grander, broader and deeper free
dom than has ever existed in any
country in the world. 1t mean more
than words are adequate to tell.
There Is deepest significance in every
breeze that blows acros the plains Of
this land and goes onward up the
mountain side aud loses itself in the
gale that sweeps the bosom OF the
ocean. Every flower that snaps in the
morning winds Of America, and every
lofty pine that deties the whirlwinds
that lay waste the mighty forests, tells
. sweet and soul.stirring story of
peaceful independence such Us men
have never known before. Not u bird
that MARBLES in the fragrance.laden
air Of this summertide but sings carol
Of a glorious freedom which was born
OF the infinite love OF Almighty God.
The thrilling carol Of the lark as he
scars upward to dip his untired pinion
in the lofty clouds at break Of day,
the drowsy hum Of the bee among the
roses in the garden and the chirp OF
the lonely cricket at eventide-sil tell
of q God.given freedom, weeter than
all else save heaven itself.

Alaska Capital At Juneau.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Alaska's
capital is hereafter to be Juneau in.
stead OF Sitka. Congress passed q
law several years ago giving permits.
sion for the removal to Juneau, but
no appropriation was made for the
purpose. One Of the appropriation
bills passed at the last session carried
an item of $1,000 to enable the gov.
ernor Of Alaska to move the govern
men effects from Sitka to Juneau.
The acting attorney general has de-
cided that this law really changes the
capital to Juneau.
Sitka has been the capital since an
American territorial government was
organized for Alaska. The popula.
ton OF Juneau is 1000, only a few
hundred more than Sitka, but Juneau
has far more white people, proportion
ately, than Sitka. 1t is somewhat
further north than oitka, and is or
the line of travel to the gold fields.

Entire Army Is Marching

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Without
attracting much attention, probably
bee ause the movement is general and
covers such a wide extent OF territory
for the first time since the civil war
almos. the entire army of the United
States is on the march. Frequently
large bodies of troops have been
moved in this way, and during the
Spanish war the entire army was
moved, but in that case nearly all the
men were entrained. In the present
case they are marched afoot and com.
ing on horseback from various posts.
Officers at headquarters are not sur.
prised to learn that the men are sui.
fering some from the hardships Of the
march, that many drop out from
fatigue and that there has been con
siderable damage to horse flesh.
The fact as stated by General Oliver
the acting secretary OF var and him
self a veteran, is that the men have
become soft" in post life and it is
one of the principal purposes of the
marches to the joint encampments to
discover the weak spots and TO season
the soldiers, approximating war con
ditions as closely as possible.

WILL ABOLISH PASSES.

The new railroad rate regulation
law enacted by congress the latter
part Of June goes into effect sixty
days from the date it was signed by
the president. but it appears that
some OF its provisions will not be-
come effective at hal time. That
part of the law which abolishes free
transportation is not operative until
January l, 1907, and the provision
which prohibits railroads from rams.
porting commodities produced by
themselves does not take effect until
May l of next year. This delay is TO
enable the railroads TO prepare for
compliance with the law.
The anti.pass provision makes a
number of exemptions. among which
are the necessary c~are-takers OF live
stock. The provision prohibits broad
~ and generally the issuance of any
free transportation for interstate pas
cage, and then provides an excepted
class, which is as follows:
No common carrier subject to the
provisions of this act shall, after Jan.
uary l, 1907, directly or indirectly is.
