SELLING THE PHILIPPINES


 After making very thorough can. vass of public opinion regarding its suggestion that the Philippine Islands be sold, the New York Herald acknOTl edges that the plan does not meet with public approval, Now 1t springs au- other.
 It is, in effect, that we sell the Phil ippIues to the FilipiuOs for COnsIdera- .iOn equal to the amount which the islands have thus far cost this govern meut. This amount is estimated by the Herald at s4OO, ,OOO, including the s2O, 900, 600 which was paid to Spain when the United States entered upon It's campaign of 'beneyOlent assimIlo. tlon,"
 Regarding the advantages of the plan 1t proposes, the Herald enumeratss them ln the following concise and in- teresting manner:
 First-That the probabilities of Jap anese aggression would be rendered more remote.
 secOnd-That if such SD acs of az  gressiou were to be committed the United States would be aided, not ham, pered, by the Filipiuos, who, in repell- ing the aggressors ln concert with the Americans, would be fighting for their own flag and detendiDg their national existence.
 Thlrd-That the repayment of Amer icon capital already sunk in the Philip pines would be assured.
 Fourth-That American republican sentiment would be grasi6ed by a solu- sion designed to establish 8 government of the Filipiuos, for the Filipinos and by the FlipinOs.
 There is a strong probability that the Herald will find DO more advocates of it's present plan than it did of the one which public opinion has so uucere-  moniously turned down, for the one reason, among others, that n would hardly be just 10 require those people, if a sale of their country to them were to be seriously contemplated, to pay back all the money the islands have cost us. A modification of the plan might succeed, but hardly at s4OO,OCO,- OOO.

SAYS N0 GAME
 E SLAUGHTERED
Skagway Alaska,
Nov. lS, l.Nl

Nov. lS, lU
 To the Editor of the Skagway Alaskan,
 Having been been asked by one Of the members of a hunting parry to reply to certain statements made in recent issues of the Whitehorse Star, in which it was alleged that the hills in the wheatOu country were strewu with the carcases of over hundred sheep, killed by hunters in their efforts to get three sheep heads. I would like to state at the Oatsst that while I do not take much stock in vast and unsuppor.- ed assertions which, however palatable to a lot cl gossiping old women, don't amount to much when is comes to an investigation of facts. NO pot believe there is a word of truth in the whole business and that if it was meant for the party of three American gentlemen I was out with that I can not only prove it lie, but can bring forward arguments to show why sportesmen and big game hunters should not be deprived of an inducemeut to come and see inc contry which those having the best interest of the North at least win readily appreciate,
 First let me state that from obser- vations made (irOm the tops of the mountains. and not from the tops of high office stools) that there is no danger of the game becoming extinct and that there is no need to amend the present game ordinances and if they must be amended let it be on the matter of making it absolutely illegal to kill females-noDe Of the sports men [ have been cut with during the past five seasons woulJ perma females to be killed pickering to go without meat for several days--the gentleman was with in the Wheaton this fall allowed several sheep to walk past hlu at less than fifty wards after he had got the heads he wanted-this was in marked contrast to parties made up Of prospeclor whom have s.en smoking up" bunch of ewes and lambs as lorg as they were in sight, getting one or .S2 out of bunch of twenty and letting the rest go, leaving a trail Of blood behind them at every jump thas probably represented a half dozen wounded or out shot ewes going back to die with lambs 10 perish. Of course I do not expect this to appear cruel to the average man who bas not had an opportunity of studying guushot wounds under his own vest but just the result of thoushtlessness and lad craftsmanship, two things that con tribute greatly to the discomfort of animals and the longevity Of scandal mongers and busy bodies generally.
 In the case of sheep the killing of fifty or seventy-fve per cent of the males would be a benefit, as owing to

BRUTAL SPORT

The wrangell Sentinel, writing of a topic-the slaughter of game-which is receiving more or less comment from the press of the territory these days, says;
 "A somewhat similar stunt" was pulled oil by some fishermen in the Wrangell Narrows locality last winter, when shey shot down a herd of seven seen deer which had been driven by suow to search for food, These brutal wretches did pot even cut the throats of the animals that were only wounded, but left the suffering things to dry and rot on the beach.
 "Probably those hunters spoken of by the Star told iu their Eastern homes Of the ''grest sport" which they had. If such slaughter is "sport" then iu the name of humanity and civilization sport should be ielonized and it's com miIment severely punished. The old stocks and pillory would be too easy. A taste of the rack would be better, and would more nearly parallel the crime and its penalty.

gathered around the man.
You pay 70 cents and draw prize" he said.
There's 10 cents In almost every box and Sc in
some. Get EN- quick and keep quiet"
The first man 10 pay 10 cents shook his box of
cough drops. II jingled. He opened II and shining
dollars and half dollars fell out The man with the
sstchel could not take in the dimes that besiegeo
him His hands were too few. When interest
tagged and the boxes revealed nothing but cough
drops there was always some one who drew box
containing S. Nobody coughed. but everybody
had cold.
