ITS THEIR DUTY

Far be it from this page to attempt to preach politics to the able and learned editor of the Miner, Governor Swine ford. However, for the life of this newspaper lt cannot, see how Editor swineiord arrives at the conclusions he reaches in the editorial, portion of which is given below:
 'It, therefore, appears to the Miner that a declaration of the convention iu favor of a change from our present bas' tard and wholly uu-American form of government to that of territorial or ganlza,lOn is a toregone conclusion. So mote lt be,
 "The Miner, however thinks it sees danger of the disruption Of the cOnven' vsntiOn, through the in-advised per sonal strife which threatens to inject itself at the imminent hazard of the harmony which the advocates of home government should be first and fore most in endeavoring to promote. II these latter are wise they will studiOus- ly refrain from injecting into the con- veutiOu any and all matters of a person al character, or which can be construed as such. The proposed demand for the removal of Governor HoEgatt will not only be in pad taste, but will avail nothing other than to work au injury to the cause the friends for home rule for Alaska profess to have most at heart, They will be but tyros in party politics why essay anything Of the kind in that convention"
 It was Republicans who got for Gov erpOr Hoggatt the position he is abus- ing. The men who win assemble in the convention at Juneau on the II h of this month, with the exception of the Democrats who were elected by the Perseverance Mine hnd the Treadwell company as Hoggatt delegates from Juneau, will be Republicans. Why then should they not attempt to remedy the evil their party has unwittingIy been instigators of? Naturally, any man or set Of men would be adverse to causing the destruction of another mans life work and aspire tions;-i. is human na- ture to rebel against such actions But that is neither here nor there. A terri torial blight was thrown over Alaska when the Republicans endorsed and se- cured the GovernorshIp for HOggatt. Who then, pray, is more in honor bound to try to remove it than the Re publicaUs when they assemble in their next convention?

JUST AS HE WAS

A Richmond minister not long ago was asked to perform a marriage cere- mony by young negro couple. As he had employed the groom for a year or two, he consented, knowing what pres tige would come to the couple by req son of having been married by a white minister. At the appointed time the happy pair arrived and the ceremony proceeded,
 Do you take this man for better O worse 9" the minister asked.
 For all her shYuess the, bride spoke up OraveIy;
 NO, sab, don't, she said. '.Ah'n take him jest like he is, If he was ter git any better Is 'iraid he'd die, an fl he was ter git any wuss, ah'd Kill him myself."-Harper's Weekly.

The Hardy Border.

N You want your boundary line made
} beautiful by hardy border of per-
ennial flowers? September is the
proper time to divide old plants ana set
the multiplied stock in well titled soil for
next year, The rule is to divide the root
clunps every second year. 1t is aston
ishing how soon Il fine showing of ones
favorite perennialS can be made.
If you have just come to the point
where YOU can have such a border go to
nursery and 20 out into the gardens OF
your friends ami you will be better able to
decide just what you are going to plant
There is more fun in beginning with the
seeds. Quicker results follow planting
roots in the fall. They bloom the next
summer.
Let the border have sinuous line in
front. Plant the tall things behind the
short ones. Don't let colors clash TOO
fiercely. Modify the scheme from year to
year as you see ways of lettering it.
Herein lies one essential charm of gar
dening.

I Il is none too early to consider how to
make the house shipShape to meet the
winter season. The wise householder
looks to his chimneys if perchance wind
and rain and imperfect mortar have al
lowed bricks to get loose, He scans
them from urret to foundation stone
especially in the attic and whore they
pass through floors and roof. Are there
cIents on the roof to climb by, or other
ladders quickly available in case of fire.
I'nhapply, too many houses are put to-
gether in dangerously shoddy fashion.
Many an ornate fireplace scorches the
wood in the wall beside il every time "A
fire is lighted. Have the unused Chin
lneyS swept. Swallows nests and other
rubbish clog them.
Have the furnace tested. See if any of
the hot air or steam pipes have ruSted or
become displaced while NOT in use. The
electrical wiring, too, should hc inspected
Thoroughly by a competent aud con>cien-
tiouS electrician. \ worn place III the in
su.atIon is constant menace OF tire
Eternal vigilance alone prevents fire in
the season when the heating apparatus is
going full blast.
Leaks in roofs of house or barn should
lie diScONc red and repaired before cold
weather. Don't wait until ruined cell
ing proves that there is a leak.
Dead leaves choke the cave troughS;
they should be swept out or cistern water
will be dehled and the supply wasted by
overlooking where the pipes are clogged.
Drain pipes should be put into perfect
order, so that no stuppage viii cause
freezing and bursting. See that the joints
are all sound, with no sign of leaks. Bind
supply water pipes to ohyiate freezing
and consequent plumbers bills.
See that all window paneS are whole
and examine the rims outside for breaks
in the putty. Much cold enters at such
small. unnoticed crevices causing
draughtS and consequent bad colds

ing window screens n little LATER get n

In estimating the amount Of concrete
that will be required to iii a given space
do not make the mistake that almost every
one does of assuming that ten barrels of
broken stone, five barrels Of sand and two
barrels of cement will make seventeen bar

pmpunt of concrete to be obtained from
this mixture will be but slightly in excess
Of the amount OF broken stone used, the
cement and sand simply filing the spaces
between them.
Therefore in figuring the concrete nee
ssary to make a wall or sidewalk, first
find the number Of cubic feet of aggregate;

YOU the exact amount of all the ingrc-
dents, remembering that there are four

TO do the actual work of mixing use n

have all the ingredients to be used close

First measure the sand and spread 1t
