only one of his kind; there are none to match him in intelligence nor honesty nor ambition; he is a rara avis, and this fact impeaches the gratitude of his race for the blessings he has wrought for it. In no case of human progress does the exception prove the rule so abso- lutely as in this instance. The ne- gro, in the mass, is as raw today as he ever was; he is constitutionally inapt, and to this fundamental cause, and not to white domination must he attribute his continued and radical failure. With rarest exceptions, he is bearer of burden and the ordinances of nature are not easily combatted.

Caruso, the great Italian tenor, was recently convicted in a New York police court of insulting a woman, and fined in the sum of $10. Signor Caruso probably earns $500 a day for every day he sings, so he is but mildly affected by the sum of the fine. But Caruso, the star professional, the alleged gen
 tleman, the leader of his particular cult, conspicuous representative of his nation in this country, has proven himself no better than a dirty corner loafer of America. He has sacrificed more than the pitt ful $10, to the vanity or the nasti- ness of his nature, and he can never make it up. What of real refined life he has enjoyed in this country at the hands of nice people who take pleasure in recognizing such wonderful gifts as his, he has cast aside for the momentary indulgence of silly foible or worse. He will not be allowed to forget it for years, and he will drag the shameful rec ord and it's memory with him wher
 ever he goes. The news wires of the world have taken care of that.

The Pacific Coast Lumber Manu- lecturers Association has applied at Tacoma, Washington, for a mandamus to compel the Northern Pacific Railway Company to fur nish the necessary cars to transport the untold millions of feet of lumber denied shipment, and attacking the status of that road as common carrier. The suit should be forced to the uttermost limit of review because it is infinitely essential, not only for the railway company itself, but for all businesses relying upon the railway for transportation and must, of necessity, tend to adjust some of the rank injustices now prevailing against the great industries of the country. We believe, however, that long before the courts have sent down a decision in the premise, the situation will have been relived by the accumu- lation of new rolling stock that will break the congestion and placate the interest that is seeking the decision. But all the same, a care
 ful ruling on the vital subject, as prayed for, will be of inestimable value in the event of another tie-up
 and hasten it's release, to the comfort and profit of all concerned.

BOOST COLLECTIVELY

By the receipt of letters from the east, we are continually reminded of the ignorance of the eastern peo- pie concerning climatic conditions and other important facts prevail ing in Alaska. These letters also remind us of the supreme import ance of disseminating the real facts nong the eastern states.
 The prevailing impression that Alaska is a land of nothing but iccbergs, snow, hardship and gold has been brought about by the :. Aamerous maga zine articles writ ten and published when the gold . excitement was at its zenith and in which only the extreme northern part c: ti', territory was dealt with, ! iAp"G ant report ever having l. en written about southeastern 4 aska. But as time rolls on, the hardy T.! Ter and prospector is dis covering iat gold exists in paying quantities further south than the section which attracted such crowds and created such intense excite ment in 1S97-S. Consequently, led by the reduction of hardship and the easier accessibility of the ssma results, the tide of mining ac- tivity is setting southward.
 It is but matter of a few years until the mines of the southeastern panhandle" will be enticing cap italists in large numbers. There is no doubt that the mountains and islands Of this section are full of all kinds of precious metals; but the formations are such that these metals can only be taken out by the liberal use of money. But for tune surely awaits those who will put their money into the work.
 These facts should be extensively advertised in the money centers of the east, and the sooner it is done, the better it will be. We rise to suggest Board of Publicity, to consist of one representative from sach of the towns and camps of the opanhandle," whose duty it shall be to collect reliable data and pub fish it to the world through a series of articles in the leading magazines of the country. These representa-. lives could be appointed by public meetings in much the same manner as convention delegates are chosen, and the men so chosen could mu . tually agree upon where to meet , for formulating plan of action. If any boosting is to be done, the time is ripe. Such things move slowly, and the boundless oppor- stunities of this part of Alaska sho'd be thoroughly exploited before the exposition in 1909.

When Frederick Fay, the strike leader at Hamilton, Ont, hears from his appeal to this government for protection against the mandate of the Dominion Government or dering him out of that territory, he will be sorry, because this govern ment has fashion of keeping its hands off in matters of that sort. Washington will probably say, that having gone there of his own volit- ion, raised rumpus in which he got the worst of it, put himself in an altogether ambiguous position, and ivited the rigor of the Canadian statutes, he is without claim or standing for interference on the part of Uncle Sam; and such con- clusion will be quite righteous, as well as patent lesson to other agitators on like errands bent If he had been imposed upon, denied his rights, divested of his property, or other harsh procedure had been enacted against him, an innocent traveller, or resident in the land of the Canucks, we should be glad to see him righted on the instant, but since the bother is all of his own brewing, his cry for national redress will be heard, and promptly sat down on.

Warner, who left the Carlisle school to
teach Cornell, is back again this year to
take charge of the Redskins coaching
squad. Warner was always success
with the Indians. and although his mate
rial was never up to that of the colleges
against which his charges played, he was
able to win great part of the games
against heavier teams. He was not as
successful at Cornell as the followers of
tie Ithacan team had hoped. but there is
no reason why he cannot repeat his sue
cess with the Indians. Warner will be

Western Colleges Preparing
To Clash With Eastern Rivals.

1t is this plan of careful figuring out the
weak points in the defence as an army
general would plan an attack that las
won more games for the Maroons than
brute force Stagg is at this work now,
and it is said that he will spring many
new tricks this season.
A few years ago Stagg sprung the
heavy quarterback idea and his whoa
back plays and the ingenious devices he
framed last fall put many of the Middle
West football tutors at sea. Veterans OF
his 1906 team declare the Maroon coach
has Il large variety of plays left over
from last fall-plays he never used Most
of them. they say, We're planned for the
game with Minnesota. Many of these
plays We're combinations of triple passes,
crisscrosses, long forward passes and de-
ceptivc straight rlunges through the line
after it seemed as if the attack would be
at an opponents end. The linemen were
worked in a variety of quick shifts, in
which the back field oftsp. assumed new
positions.
1t was common criticism last fal! that
too many chances were taken with the
forward pass. but Stage seems to have
eliminated some of the chances for mis-
haps by sending, not one man ahead to
watch the forward pass. but two or three
men. In this way the quarterback or the
man passing the ball is able to use his
eyes and intelligence and direct the ball
to the player with the best opportunities
to get away with it.
