Fascination of North1and.

The home spirit among us is on the increase; the spirit of friendliness and good fellowship bids fair to prosper. And this is we'll; for if there is anything which will make us homesick and tinge the landscape a dull indigo it is to plod along about our tasks with feeling that we are interested in no one, and no one has any interest in us. Without a certain amount of social intercourse, existence becomes ennui, and nothing is worth the while.
 Alaska is held out to the world as un- couth, untitled, huge, rock ribbed, ice- bound; and, while this is true to de- gree, we have yet to fairly represent the thousand towns and settlements where dwell men and women in the se- curity of real home. We speak of "going back home," and having experi- enced this delectable departure for a month, turn our faces northward and speak again of "back home" As our people return from their spring and summer visits we hear on every side the remark: "There is something about this country which we surely miss when we are away" What is it? The feeling that this has become home place: that associations have fastened themselves upon us, and we are part and parcel of new and increasing life in the Northland.
 Yes, we are in the midst of untold possibilities. Are you tired of hearing that? Perhaps so-yet you know it is true. We see new faces among us more frequently nowadays-people impelled by the spirit of conquest and adven- ture. Hither they come, and the first thing that strikes them is this very truth: We are in the midst of vast harvest, and the reapers are few. Where opportunities are, they are large-even gigantic. This is country built on a large scale; the nature of its resources calls for people of large proportions, mentally and physically. And while we are laying out this vast work, this increased development, this worldwon- der of growth and enterprise, we are not to forget the amenities which broad en our sympathies and make an other wise solitary existence at once pleas ure and an education.-Nome News.

No wonder he consid- CTS this good field for the missionary workers.-Ex.
 So the white citizens of Alaska have some rights which they did not know they possessed. Upon them devolves the pleasant duty of caring for the in- digent Alaskan Indians? Of course, they are denied authority in the gov crnment of the Indians? They cannot assume to manage their affairs. They cannot do anything to induce the h. dians to save their money and buy the necessities of life with it, instead of hootch. They can do nothing to pro- tect themselves against Indian improv- idence. But they have the glorious privilege of paying for their care when ill and of feeding them when they are out of grub.-Ex.

A WORD OF ADVICE.

Now that the tobacco association
is about to begin a systematic or.
ganization of Christian county, the
Kentuckian will venture to give g
little friendly advice. In sending
out speakers, select men who are
known to be good citizens them.
selves, who have the confidence OF
good people and who will reason
with them without trying to array
neighbor against neighbor
Professional agitators and infam-
matory spellbinders, like two or
three we could name who are thrust
ing themselves on the association,
should be sent to the rear and men
of character and sense like DR.. J.
w. Dunn, Capt. w. J. Stone, w. I.
Fowler, w. w. Radford and others
relied upon to appeal to the farmers
to cooperate with their brother
planters in forming a more compact
organization. Let every speaker
who takes the stump plant himself
squarely ON the side of law, of order,
of civilization and good government, |
and condemn in unmistakable terms |
every form of night raiding and the
destruction of property by masked |
marauders.
No good citizen in or out of the
association can uphold these things.
No chEi@tian or God-fearing man
would knowingly ally himself with
baAh burners and plantbed scrapers
The association does not need to
wink at these things. 1t does not
deserve success if it countenances
them. Kick out the agitators, help
to hunt down and convict the night
riders and go to the people with as
surances that lawlessness will not be
tolerated in any form and it will be
an easy matter to get practically all
of the farmers into the organization.
Do this, and the Kentuckian is with
you ali along the line. We know the
people of Christian county we'll
enough to know that they will not
stand for lawlessness. If the lead
ers will take firm stand, the ire.
sponsible camp followers who are
operating in its name, will soon be
detected and punished and the asso-
citation will be rid of the only obsta-
to its permanent success.
