The man had sixty dollars, when
he left Byron. but, when hurt by the

NEW MoNAECHICAL RUsE

The monarchjsts, following the lead of Coy. Hoggatr, are doing their level best to represent to the world that the movement for seli-government tn Alas ka is poth;ng more nor less than sn indirect attempt to legaIize gambling in this district. For several weeks the Juneau Transcript. one Of the most persistent Tories in the district, has been ringing the changes on this h its las, issue, referring to the recently passed law making gambling B felony iu Alaska. the Transcript says:
 Now if congress will only embcdg this law in the organic act for territoFAl government. we call for the question iust Co see how pear Gov, Hoggatt came 90 telling the truth when he said the chief workers for territorial govern mect were those who want more fiber ties ID the way they shall conduct their bsloon business.
 How silly is this may be Eleaned from .hs fac. .ha, the sentiment for terri. sorial government in Alaska is stronger 10 lae mining districts and outlying sections than it is n the larger towns. There IS DO part Of Alaska where the demand for home rule is so strong ss it is on the Tauana and Seward peninsula creeks among the miners who .are pro- ducinE Alaska's gold ard developing it's resources with whom gambling is purely an abstract question.
 Then there is DO town in Alaska where the sentiment for territorial government IS more nearly unanimous than it IS st Nome, and there the people closed gambling themselves. There have been DO games" at Nome for more than 8 yea5- ana the movement to close them was insugurSred by the labor unions and backed up by the ogsiness men ot that city.
 No, gentlemen. the game won't work, The people will be prepared to show that this, like all the other mouErchical russs that have been sprung in the past, is being urged for the simple purpose of Drejudicing the government at Washington against the Alaskan people that the influence" Of the Tory lobby may continue all powerful

Il Noted Character.

JOSIAH FLYNT, the well-known author, sociolo
gist, and lecturer, died recently in Chicago. He
gained an international reputation few years ago
by his unique method in studying the so-called un-
der world. For long time he adopted the life of
tramp, and travelled this and European count
ries. The result Of his observations printed in
book form, entitled, 'Trampng With Tramps," a
copy Of which is in prison library
It has been said that one-haf of the world does
not know how the other half lives Previous to Mr..
Flint's time the upper strata knew nothing of the
under world He studied these conditions thor
oughly but what results he has achieved along the
lines of reformation, still rather doubtful In
this field Mr.. Flint became recognized authority
for he knew the tramp's customs signs, and speech
from alpha to omega. Students of sociology the
world will regret the untimely death of this re-
markable man.

Mr. 81. G.. WELLS, the well-known novelist and
essayist, in an article in which he takes exception
to some of the characteristic traits of Americans,
said that this country possessed too much of the in
divdualisc spirit to attain to true democracy. In
divdualism believe, is less powerfully intrenched
in this country than it is abroad It is true that
divdualism is increasing rapidly, but the counterac
ing influence constantly at work in this country will
prevent individualism from controlling the situation
Whenever disaster of national Importance takes
place, we are forciby reminded Of the nonexstence
Of individualism.
It is we'll known that Mr.. Wells has become an
advocate Of the collective idea. He has become en-
bued with this doctrine for some time In his "Man-
kind in the Making" colectivism receives strong
endorsement The same is true of many of his other
books. While collectivism is more less believed
in by the people living under republic they are
loath to forsake established principles for theories
The individualsm of Charles L may have been in
imical to his Subjects but this country is far from
such state Of. depression.
There can never be such thing as absolute in
dividualism as once existed. There may be such a
thing as class distinction but this will flourish
der any form Of government.

II Severe Sentence.

II SeOeTe Se71te7lce.
A MAN in Greenville, Ohio, was recently sem
fenced to the penientiary for life for stealing five
pounds of corned beef. In Ohio the man vincent
an inhabited house is liable to life sentence unless
the jury recommends mercy. Altho the man stole
nothing but edibles to appease his hunger, he was
treated severely as tho he professional bur-
glar. The Judge who sentenced the man admitted
that the sentence excessive; but as the jury
failed to recommend mercy, he compelled to i'm
pose the extreme penalty
Perhaps the unwarranted severity of this mans
sentence will cause the law to be modified so as to
leave the length of sentence within the discretion of
the court. This would allow judges to discrimi-
nate between professional criminal and one who is
merely impelled to steal by the ixcruciatng pangs
of hunger. As the law stands, it is impossible
to avoid committing grave judicial errors

Disastrous EUrthQzlNEeS.

D1SNStTOlIS EOTt71Q1LN7ceS.
IF EARTHQUAKES continue to occur it appears as
tho the beginning Of the present century will become
noted for such disasters During the past year such
have occurred with surprising regularity;
and the destruction of life and property has as
founded the world. Against the destructive forces
of nature there is safeguard; and puny man can
only stand by and view the havoc wrought by in
visible agencies
Some of these catastrophes were predicted by a
few of our modern prophets. But their predictions
failed to accomplish any results, they lacked spec
6cations. If they were true prophets, it is likely
that they could name the place we'll specifying
the time. But even if they were in possession of
positive knowledge to future events, few people
would heed the warning.
