Said the gentleman who is now the chief fgurehead of Alaska's bastard form o. government. on certain occasion, to the editor of The Miner, We don't want territorial govern ment: with it will come the walking delegate. and labor troubles such as they have in the states and in the organized territories.' Well, the walking delegaten is here in ad- vance of territorial government. and now that he is governor, the question is what is he going to do about it?' Is there any law authoriz- ing him to give them notice to go. and not hesitate for single moment about the order of their going? Per- haps. as in the Treadwell case, should they institute an orderly strike here or there he will call on the military to suppress di iorder and violence where disorder and violence is neither attempted CT threatened, on the m- piled plea or excuse that there is no civil authority in Alaska equal to tn occasion! Yes, well, one of the evils lsJ stggestedi'as "a tbhcomitant. of territ@ial goferhmsnt 4g here in adganca-euil as he'considers it--and The Mine, would be pleased to have his views how it can be lawfully dealt with to any better end than it could be under territorial form of govern ment,

Governor Hoggatt is coming to Nome again this summer. He is not likely to meet with reception such as greeted him last year. He has joined hands with the enemies of the country's deposist. and has delib- reately misrepresented the expressed wish of the people for home rule. It Is likely that many of those who delighted to honor the governor of Alaska last summer will look with different eyes on Governor Hoggatt this season. It will be well, if few home truth should be told Governor Hoggatt during his stay here. Nome Nugget.

so many merchants fail to appre'
ciate the value of good and judicious
advertising" said H. L. Parrish OF
Chicago. at the Hotel Duncan to a Ten
nessean reporter. THE average
merchants looks upon advertising as a
foolish expenditure of money. He
thinks it is useless and not worth
while. However, this belief is rapidly
losing ground and merchants who new
er before spent one dollar advertising
are now beginning to appreciate the
yalMe of it and spend some money IN
telling the buying public of their
wares and methods. The man who
proves a shrewd and educated adver-
tiser generally gets large returns from
space bought in any newspaper. For
ten years | was with an advertising
agency in Chicago and / know a little

that without advertising merchant,
firm or corporation cannot thrive and

dreamed about"

C. NJ. 4. WILL
Be CROWDED
ALL DoRMIToRY SPACE WILL BE
TAKEN, AND BOYS WILL BE
ON WAITING LIST.

When the Columbia Military Acad-
envy opens September 18th every avail
able room in the dormitories and on
the grounds will be filed and the out
look is that a number of boys will be
on the waiting list. There is at pres
ent room for only four additional
boarders over the number who have
already enrolled, and it Is two weeks
still till the opening of school, Prof
Hardy has made room for fourteen
boys in his residence and one boy
will room in the guard house. This
shows how crowded the school is for
dormitory room, and makes it plain
that before the opening of the school
next year an additional dormitory will
be a necessity.
Few people realize the advantage
this school is from money stand
point. An average of at least $3.50
for each boarding pupil is spent each
year in Columbia. This does not take
into consideration the uniforms and
parts of the equipment which are
bought away from here. With 125
boys in the boarding department this
makes a total of $43,470 spent right
here at home, and it doubtless exceeds !
this. OF course the, money side of the |!
matter is not the chief matter of i'm
portance. The school is the best ad- !
the county could have,
it is training up a set of manly, intel
ligent, moral young men here at home
and establishing higher ideals among
the boys.

the JOE FOLK CLUB.

The Herald has been and is, a
Rrvan naper. There is no living man
we admire more. If our vote would
elect him President, we would cast II
for him more gladly than Ger any OF
the many we would love to see Pres
ident And in strictly democratic
ranks we belive he is the most popular
man in the party. And we believe ne
can get the Democratic nomination II
he wants it and insists upon 1t. And
we would not feel at all comfortable
in any club that waged war Upon Mr..
BRYAN. At the same time, there is
serious question if Joseph w. FOLK OF
Missouri, is not the more avallaoie
man. when considered from an cleo
tion standpoint. Mr.. Bryan could be
more easily nominated, but Mr.. FOLK.
we are inclined to believe, could poll
more votes on the election day. There
is hardly a Bryan democrat in all the
states that would not vote for Mr..
Folk as the nominee of the party;
and there are thousands of men who
call themselves democrats but VINO
wear their party robes loosely, ana
would vote for Mr.. Folk, but would
not vote for Mr., Bryan.
We have always regarded Mr.. Bryan
as true, pure patriot; We believe IN
him as a man, as democrat, as
patriot. We believe he had rather pc
right than to be President. We Neel
sure he had rather see a genuine, true
man and democrat, run on a sound,
democratic platform and W.. than to
have the glory of anothe nomination
for himself, followed by mother dis
heartening defeat. And II Mr.. Bryans
friends could be made to feel and to
see the situation in this light, and TOY
present it to Mr.. Bryan in that light
we do not believe he would stand one
moment in the way of what the "old
guard" might consider for the best
interest of the party.
With this view Of the case we are
glad to see the Joseph W. Folk club
organized at Nashville. We hope they
will work conservatively and II pos
sible tremendously with their fellow
democrats who may differ with them,
20 as TO avoid fueds and factions In
he party, and unite at last upon
delegation from this state to the Ma
ional convention that will have on
heir hearts and in their minds no
prejudice, no malice, no bitterness, but
My the best interest of the Democrat
o party, which, We believe, once In
ower would conserve the best interest
+ all the people.

THE GOVERNORS GRAFT.

First thing we know this matter OF
maintenance fund for the governors
mansion is going to develop into a
scandal. 1t has been admitted, we
believe, that the governor got the war
rant for the money from the comptrol-
Ter and that he afterward secured the
full amount. $500, through a Mem
phis bank. In other words, he has APP
propriated the whole amount to his
personal and not to the mansion main
tenance account. His organs have
tried to cover the matter up, the Nash
vile American going so far as to
say thet the money he got was the
residue left from the amount appropria-

Transcript he referred to a statement

Georgia, Colonel Ingersolrs opinion

generally. A Cincinnati paper tele-
graphed him the substance'of the In

money after bad money" then ne
ought to, and perhaps he would be
willing to sell, and sell cheap; that is
the way people generally do when
they make bad investments. II he
will price his property cheap, we THINK
the city ought to buy 1t. 1t he VIII
enter into bond to at once improve
his plant and guarantee good service,
that would be a reasonable compro-
mise. If he still procrastinates, and re-
fuses to give any tangible evidence OF
his purpose to materially and immed-
lately improve his plant and his serV'
ice. or to price it at a price as run
down as the service is and as the pant
seems to be, then legal proceedings
should be forced and the franchise
taken from this company, the general
welfare requiring 1t.
In all of this we have no feeling
against Mr.. Bigelow or any man con-
nected with his company. 1t is
purelS impersonal, business discus
sion. in which we shall take the peo-
ples side of the question, not because
we love Mr.. Bigelow and his company
less, but the people more; and because
we believe the demands the people
are making and every day asking the
Herald to make, are just, and reason
able. and fair, and proper.

ted for the purchase Of the mansion
and which he applied 10 furnishing
etc. Whether II intended to or not
the tenor Of its explanation was mis-
leading.
Since the announcement that this
fund has been drawn by the governor
some inquiry has been made as 70 how
il came TO be embodied in the appro
priation bin. since it would appear
that il IL was intended for the COVER
nor's personal use ItNwould have been
appropriated as a fixed increase OF
salary and not designated as a main.
tenance fund.
The facts about the matter, as OBJ
tanned from a responsible and reliable
member Of the legislature are: The
governor himself had the appropria-
ton bill introduced in skeleton
that is, only the caption being pre-
scented, and passed two readings. Then
at the wind-up. and in the confusion
and rush of the closing hours, when
members had no time or opportunity
to scrutinize the items, a substitute
bill, CARRYING among others this sum
of $4,000 for maintenance, was intro
duced and passed-Senator Mans
field. (Republiean) we are told,
being the governors agent who
included the maintenance" in
novation, which looks, in the circum-
str noes, very much like a grab
several senators, however, voting
against it. OF kind with this piece
of voting away the peoples money for
maintenance" was the item giving
the speaker of the senate an extra
$500, although his salary is nxed by
the law, just as is the governors.
1t is probable that the governors
salary ought to be as much as $75OO
lin fact we believe it ought to be
that or more-but it ought to be fixed
by law and not secured by trick or
by methods which, if employed by
others, would be plain grating" The
sum of $500 drawn by the governor
was not a part of his salary and did
not belong to him but to particular
fund and for specific purpose in
which another besides himself might
be interested. He has no right TO
divert it to his personal use.-Chatta-
nooga Times.

1t is an ill wind that blows nobody
good, and it really looks as though
the wind was blowing in the direction
of this country most of the time. Just
at the moment when We came to the
conclusion that the wheat crop was
going to be about the average and
would fetch the average price, comes
the report of frost damage in Canada,
which sends grain prices in this coun-

such succession of record-breaking
crops in this country that 1t looks as
though we were due for reversal
The green fly did some damage 1t is
true. in the southern central states

the Department of Agriculture show
that the crop is we'll up to the average,
none the less. Now comes the report
that unreasonable weather is likely to
seriously hurt the Canadian crop OF
the great northwest, and here we are
again with a good crop and high
prices.

The latest statement regarding the
s29 100000 fine against the Standard
Oil Company is that il the state of Hi
nois is sustained in the Appellate
Court, it will collect the money by
confiscating enough refneries to cover
the bill. This opens up an interesting
vista of possibilities. 1t is hardly
possible that the government will go
into the oil refining business, and II
it should merely seize the refineries
and close them down, it would limit
the supply of oil and put up the price
to the consumer All this unearned
increment would go into the pockets
of the Standard Oil Company, and the
last state would not be much better
than the first. Levyfng on the re-
fineries does not look to the laymen
like a good scheme. Possibly John d.
was right and Judge Lands will be
dead long time before that fine is
paid.

A writer in the Nashville American,
Mr. S. A. Craig. justly and severely
criticises the last Legislature for its
failure to pass an anti-free pass bill
and comments on the scandalous and
wholesale distribution OF free passes
among the legislators. Mr.. Craig
also notes the fact that the Governor
recommended legislation along this
line in his message. 1t may be re-
marked, however, that Gov. Patterson
knows how to make record and he
also knows how to pass bill. II ne
had shown half as much earnestness
in the matter of the free pass infamy,
as he did in perpetrating the Ripper
Bill infamy. he might have succeeded.
The truth is, the Governor tied himselt
up too closely with the railroads to-
make any serious effort to pass any
bill he didn't want When he per-
sonally went to the head attorney OF
the l.. & N. road in Nashville and
asked for the railroads help in pass
ing certain bills, 1t is pretty safe to
say that he didn't mention the free
pass evil in that secret conference.
He got the help OF the roads in pass.
