WITH ALASKA EXCHANGES

-Anent the question of muzzliug 1 the press the Whitehorse Star perti- nently remarks: The representative of corporation at Skagway, in what
 was probably a moment Of mental ab- erration, presumed to dictate to the Daily Alaskan as to what it should ard should not publish and for the reason that the paper gave him the | merry ha ba he took his company $ ad. out of the ''sheeti and stopped the
 'rag''-that is, he stopped the copy of it that came to his office but the paper continues to be ''perpetrated" six days each week as of yore. The newspaper that councils with every Tom, Dick and Hairy as to what it shall publish and what it shall sup press will soon "hit de ceiln'.'
 According to an informant of the Katalla Herald, Ketchikan figured rather prominently in the railroad fight in the Keystone canyon. He says that on the morning of the fight about 250 men of the Alaska Home Railroad, taken from all the camps ot the con- pauy marched down to the camp of the Copper River road. Here they were harangued by Ketchkar attor- ney named Ingersoll and several others. who tried to excite the men by telling them that the Guggen- helms were trying to bottle up Alas ka. Shall we let the Guggenheims hold this canyon, or shall we take it by force?' shouted Ingersol. Then the crowd, with picks, shovels, crow bars and clubs rushed forward Fore man O'Neil of the Copper River & Northwestern tried to stop them, but
 in a trice the mob had seized him and others and bore them to the ground where they were held, while the rest of the crowd rushed CD. Then Hasey and Dickson, both regularly appointed deputy marshals, who had been sent to maintain order tried to stop them. Dl6O bISb III tiiO dli, bDSL III the ground, but still the men rushed forward. Then he fired at their legs, wounding six.' Hasey was formerly deputy marshal here, dur ing which time he shot and killed a man who, he alleged was pursuing him intent upon doing the killing himself; Ingersoll left here only a few months ago for Valdez to accept the position of general counsel for the Reynolds outfit.

papers, and already many of it's critics say it will drive away more repnbli- can votes than it will attract votes of independent leaguers. It's sponsors and defenders say that the republicans are a minority party in New York city; that they must take advantage of any combination promising them q chance to unseat Tammany. This Is in substance their defense. Those who do not believe in the wisdom of fusion assert that with three tickets in the field-Tammany, Independence league and Republican, the latter would have stood an excellent chance because the bitterest fight would have been waged between Tammany and the independence league without stultifying itself by joining with forces whom it's leaders so foreibly denoune- ed last fall.

more GiilcutJ lO manage, more llaole to disiutegration than corporations of capitalists, and they have need of leaders possessed of great irmness,
 tact and superior executive ability,
 who will honestly aim at consulting the welfare of the society they repre- sent, without infringing on the rights of their employers. They should exer- else unceasDg vigilance in securing their body from the control of design ing demagogues, who would make it subservient to their own selfish ends, or convert it into political engine.
 I've must guard against any word or act that is contrary to the law. Every AInerie an ct zea has tie right to be protected in his efforts to earn an honest livelihood. No man or com bination of men should have the pow CT to prevent him from following his vocation even by intimidation, for he may have pot only himself but wife and children for whom to provide. IL is my opinion that the honest Iaborer who is willing to do work which is proper and in TO way conflicts with the interests of the community, should be given the opportunity to perform it and to have the same protection from the authorities which is extend ed to any peaceful citizen, no matter how powerful or influential may be the person or society which opposes him. .-s,-
 .'I take for granted that all unions and other societies Of American labor ing men are disposed to array them- selves on the side of peace and order and are as strongly opposed to the vio- lations of the law as other citizens. Hence they should exert their inAu- ence to see that the laws are upheld,
 if they would maintain the respect with which they are regarded by their fellows. It is not only question of patriotism, but of self-interest which deeply concerns them.
 T am persuaded that the system of boycotting by which members of labor unions are instructed not to patronize certain obnoxious business houses, is not only disapproved by an impartial public sentiment, but that it does not commend itself to the more thought ful and conservative portion of the guilds themselves. Every man is free indeed to select the establishment with which he wishes to deal, and in purchasing from one in preference to another he is not violating justice. But the case is altered when, by a mandate of the society, he is debarred from buying from particular firm. Such prohibition assails the liberty of the purchaser and the rights of the seller, and is an unwarrantable inva- sion of the commercial privilege guar anteed by the government to business

WORK AT THE HAGUE

In contrast to the almost universal criticism by the press of The Hague conference Andrew D. White, the dis tinguished scholar and diplomat, takes most hopeful view of the situation and finds in the work done real prog ress towards the objects sought. In the matter of the establishment of a permanent court at The Hague, how ever, Mr. White takes issue with the American delegates, because of the expense which such court will en- tail, although he favors permanent tribunal which can be called in con- ference, as the necessity arises.
 A writer in The Outlook shares Mir. Whites optimism and in review of the proceedings endeavors to show that much has been accomplished to ameliorate the horrors of war, while he ground work has been laid for the l higher goal-international peace. Even if nothing had been added to in- l ternational law more definitely deter mining the rights of neutrals and in creasing protection to merchant ma rine the writer holds that the getting together of representatives of forty eight nations must, of itself, be pro- ductiye of good in the way of advanc- ing friendly relations and promoting ] a hettar understandip0.
 But facts are that valuable additions have been made to the laws regulat- ing warfare, all tending to reduce the impetuosities of belligerents and tc afford opportunity for peaceful arbi- tration. And these, of necessity, must denote progress in the campaign for universal peace.

FoRAKER As AN oPTEMIsT


 Senator Foraker's lecture to the business men of the country, delivered before the National Grain Dealers association. may have a wholesome influence in checking a tendency to- ward pessimism that is fraught with danger; but how much better if he had expressed his present views at the outset.
 Almost more than any other man, the senator is responsible for the crit- icism that is being directed at the President and his administration. He attacked the Roosevelt policies in con- gress, and by his sarcastic utteranees, created a feeling among financial groups that the President was their enemy. It is fortunate that Senator Foraker has seen his blunder before it Is too late to make correction, before capital has altogether lost confidence and gone into retirement.
 As the senator well says, President Roosevelt is not the whole govern ment. although, if we are not in er- TOT, he sought to convey thenimpres- sion several months ago that 5ne Pres i1ent had actually usurped the func- tiors of both the legislative and judi cial branches. Obviously Senator For akar is willing now to admit that .here is no longer danger. rom that quarter, and capital can once more --ake 2 long and easy breath.

''Be your own doctor' is the advice of patent medicine advertiser, and it's pretty good advice, too. The man who sets out to be his own doctor can visit himself half or whole dozen times a week, charge himself a dollar a visit and collect in addition s2o at the end of the month, and be just that much ahead, provided he hasn't died in the meantime-but the patent med icine man probably hasn't thought oi it in that light.

Jacob Ris, one of the president most wholsouled admirers, has picked out another future for him. It is the office of mayor of New York. The president now has been selected for the senate, the presidency..of Harvard, the head of the panama canal enter prise and the tanner of Tammany. Al so some people who do not seem able to take his word at it's face value have selected him to succeed himself. The probabilities are that the president himself is doing but little planning for his personal future. He has been pretty busy with present duties.

Al effort is being made in some of the states to eliminate from the laws some of their nonsense. Lawyers de- clare that deeds. bonds, mortgages and all other legal documents can be cut down more than one-half in the number of the whereases, wherefores, hereinafters and aforesaids with which they are at present overburdened and the only wonder is that the lawyers haven't hereinbefore thought of it.

Dr. John Allen, of Stanley county, N. C., says that on a Fri day night he was stopped by highwaymen and rob- bed of considerable sum of money. This so enraged him that, although unarmed, he began pelting the rob- bers with sticks and stones. They, in their turn, didn't like this treatment and seizing the doctor put a rope around his neck and after giving him two minutes in which to say his pray CTS, strung him up to a tree. The doctor, finding that his neck was not broken, feigned suffocation and, after being allowed to hang 'for half an hour" was cut down and left for dead.
 As soon as the robbers left, be went home, rubbed some axle grease on his neck, and is now ready for business. If the doctors neck is as tough as his story, the rope will never end his life.
