A GOOD MOVE

The liquor dealers of Skagway have organized an association which they hope may be made branch of a general organization to be known as the" Alaska Retail Liquor Dealers Association. The avowed purpose of this initial movement is to make il the nucleus of an organ ia4tion through which the retail dealers of the entire district can act harmoniously on all questions atfec- ting their interests, the primary object being 10 restrict the sale of wet goods to strictly legal channels. To accomplish this the fair inference is that the saloon men purpose to cooperate with the authorities in preventing the sale of liquors by any and all persons other than those who comply with the law by taking out licenses and thus paying for the privilege. Thus they propose to assist in the enforcement of the law rather than seek 10 eyade any one of its provisions, What steps. if any, they may deem it wise or expedient 10 take in any effort to secure modi- fication of the law itself in the way ot a just equalization of its burdens. does not appear but it is doubtful if they themselves will be able to agree  upon any act on looking to the accom- plishmeut of that end. However, the steps taken by the Skagway dealers is in the right direction. evideneing as ii does desire on their part for an enforcement of the law as it now stands. and betokening no thought or intent to violate or eyade any of its provisions,

These organizations style themselves initiative and Referendum Leagues. ard their members are pledged to vote agains, every legislative candidate who op- poses ,.she right of the people to govern themselves by direct legisla- ion through the initiative ard refer eudum.

SIMPIFIED SPELLING,

The simplified spelling of three hundred words of the English lan- guage. suggested by the Simplitied Spelling Board. is by no means so drastic as the furore it caused would lead one to suppose. The Board. in support of the suggested changes, urges that as English is easier to learn than any other language, and must ultimately be the world lan- guage. the more simplifed its orthography the better, especially in those instances where there are more ways than one of spelling word. The English language is as much a puzzle to foreigners as their language is to us; for the singular and plural of word may differ so much that it would puzzle anybody. For instance watch the following: Well begin with box, and the
 plural is boxes; But the plural of OK should be oxer,
 not oxes. Then. one fowl is goose. and two are
 called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never
 be meese. You may find lone mouse or whole
 nest of mice, But the plural of house is houses,
 not hice. If the plural of man is called men. Why should nt the plural of pan be
 called pen? The COW in the plural may be cows
 or kline, But the bow, repeated. is never
 called bine. And the plural of VOW is vows, never
 vine: If speak of foot and you show me
 two feet, And I give you two boots would the
 pair be called beet? If one is tooth ard the whole set
 are teeth. Why shouldn't the plural of both
 be called beeth? If the singular's this and the plural
 is these. Should the plural of kiss be ever call
 ed keese? The one would be that and two would
 be those. Yet hat in the plural is never called
 hose, And the plural of cat is cats, and not
 cose. We speak of brother and also say
 brethren. But though We say mother, we never
 say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he,
 his and him. But imagine the feminine she, shes
 and shim. So 10 get ali this straight is quite
 far from joke For the English language is the
 queerest that's spoke.

HAS WOMAN MORE BRAINS
 THAN NAN9

No. as | rule il k the other way ], as the average mans brain is larger and between o1. and , ox. heavier than the average woman's hrain-the weigh, of the adult male being from s9 OF to N oa. This is partially accounted for by the fact that the average woman herself k smaller than the average man, both in size and weight.
 But after allowing for womau's smaller size and weight. the mans brain k still the heavier of the two hy least o1. II does not neceS>ar- ily follow, however. that woman's < brain power k inferior to that of a man. What she lacks in one way is fully made up in another. Although she does not aS a rule display so strong a reasoning and critical faculty as man, she eSeels hin in quick precep- ,ion and intuition. Nature having endowed women with different physiological functions to man. her brain power in like manner, hut in persons of sound mind and body. in both sexes. the brains In one way and another, are very nearly on par in point of power,
 The more frequent exercise of cer- tain faculties by men have hitherto. no doubt. enlarged and increa sed their brain power in those respects. and il is possible that with similar exercise of such powers by women as may naturally he expected from the increasing athletic. educated, and boSiness-like capacities ot the women ot the rising generation, the women ot the future may be as tall and have s brain equal in size and weight to that of man. But the main objection 10 this enlargement of the lrain in the gentle sex Is the established fact that while in such case woman may gain intellectually she will lose iu haansy and grace and sym metry of form. To support this theory we have only to go 10 India, to the people dwelling on range of hills between the Brahmapuytra and the lower valleys. where the women, are supreme. They do the wooing. and control the affairs of the nation. and prpperty deseends through the woman. and not the instrumentality of inferior man. They are dominant but al the same time they are the nggliest women on the face Of the earth.

The work of raging the big Moses building on Court Square to make room for twelve story steel office building to be erected for the First National Bank, will probably begin Monday.
 The contractors propose to break all records for Montgomery in tearing down this six story building. They declare that the site will be bare and ready for the beginning of excava- tions for the new building by Feb ruary l. Their contract calls for the completion of the twelve story steel structure by October 1.
 The office. building will be con etructed by the Wells Brothers Com pany, New York contractors Under their contract, they have the disposi- tion of the. material in the Moses building. Until yesterday. 1t was be- lieved by enterprising builders of Montgomery that the material in the Moses building could be used in the construction of similar building on another site Indeed, it was proposed 10 lift the big building intact and move it a considerable distance.
 One live real estate man, feeling that an arrangement of this kind could be broght about secured an option on the material in the Moses building. In negotiating for the sale

0veyv,Se Mayors Veto.

Mayor Bliss caused considerable in- terest in the meeting of the City Coun- ell last night when he returned to that body the ordinance providing Tor the purchase of lots and appropriating $1,- $50 for the same without his approval. The council, however. within few minutes passed the ordinance over the mayors veto by a unanimous vote.
 The mayor in vetoing the ordinance gave his reasons that the finance com mittee of the council, which made the nurchase had no authority under the city charter to purchase real estate or nroperty; that the sole power of max ing such purchase was vested In the Board of Public Works. which body had not been consulted in the matter; that the property secured was entirety ,,nsuited for the purposes desired ana furthermore that the city owns many desirable sites in a more suited location that could be used without the useless waste of city money by purchasing nronertv far from the heart of the city.
 Tn support of his position that the Roard of Public Works. with the ap- nrova1 of the mayor and council Is the sole purchasing agent of real estate, the mayor quoted the city charter. The council. however, which authorized the finance committee to make the pur- chase. took the opinion of the city at tornev that the purchase was legal IT made bv ordinance and by unanimous ,,ote nassed the ordinance providing for same.

of the material, he found the New York contractors required that it must be removed by February 1. To do this with the care necessary to pre- serve the material for building pur- poses, it was found, would require considerably more time than thirty days. and so the project was aban- doned. The limit of the option has ex- pired, and 1t is doubtful if the ma terial in the Moses building will be utilized in any other important struc- ture.
 If more time had been given in which to rage the Moses building, 1t would have been undoubtedly sold to a man who owns a fine lot on the edge of the business district. This man was negotiating for its purchsTs with the view to reconstructing tEe building out of the same material on this lot.
 The new building of the First Ma tional Bank on the site of the Moses building will cost $300,000. Tho ground floor will be occupied by the bank The other floors will be rented as offices The building will be equipped with all modern conveniences.
