TO OUR CRITICS

Those newspapers and others who object that the newspapers of Fair, banks, Nome, skagway, O Valdez, Seward and elsewhere were not show ing proper respect for the high office which he holds when they protested against the selection of Governor Hoggatt to represent Alaska at the ground breaking for The Seattle fair are reasoning from false premises. They should look to theIioundatiOns on which they are building.
 There was no desire on the part Of the Daily Alaskan, as,least to humiliats Gov. HOgEast or to refuse him the privilege of standing in the limelight tOl B day that he might receive the ap- plause of the multitude. IsspurpOse was that 1t might be understood that the people of Alaska are in no way bound not even in the public mind-by any thing that would be said by man who consistently mlsrepresents them. Gov. HOggatt has been tried and found wanting, and this paper believes that tt should be made plain whenever he Is put to the front to represent Alaska that il IS done over the protest of Alas ksns.
 The Daily Alaskan Is pot at all in sympathy with this sycophontio notion that i5 Is the duty of the press and people to kow-tow before a man for no other reason than that he holds a high omce. No man Is so deserving ol rsproaeh tearlessly spoken as is Oue who occupies a position of honor and responsibility who misuses the powers which are placed Iu his hands, When it becomes evident that an official .g determined to use every opportunity that is given him to misrepresent the people he is supposed to serve, then the people owe him neither support nor respect because of the tide which he bears,
 And la this connection, just one more word, when the Seattle Post-Gneeli- Eencer said tae other day that the people of Alaska owe it to themselves to lash out of the way the federal officials who stand between them and common justice, it pointed out a course that is blazed so clearly by duty that there can be DO mistaking is The nsmby-pamby newspaper that has not ability to discern it's duty or the

College athletes Find Good
Places in Big Ball Leagues

I and Hartley, formerly of the Philadel-
phia National league team, now with
Toronto. were turned out by George
| town. Davis, of Girard college; DR..
Powers of Holy Cross; Henley, of Ala
bama; Plank, of Gettysburg. and Coax
ley. of Holy Cross. are members of the
Philadelphia Athletics, and Manager
Mack has never had the slightest
trouble with any of them since they
have been members of the team. He is
one of the big league managers who is
firm believer in the college graduates
as desirable element both in and out
of actual playing.
In addition to Roy Thomas, of Penn
sylvania, DOolin and Caldwell. the lat
ter also of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, are members of the Philadelphia
Nationals. Hugh Jennings, the Balti-
more manager. is a Cornell graduate,
having taken the law course after he
became famous on the diamond. Wal
ter Clarkson, the promising young
pitcher of the New York Americans,
came from Harvard. "Tot" Murphy,
| who a few years ago was one of the
best shortstops in the national league,
joined New York after being graduated
from Yale.
Jack Berry of st. Louis was gradu-
ated from the University of Rochester,
and Winters, the crock Boston pitcher
was formerly on the Gettysburg col
lege nine. Nj. Lynch, of Pittsburg,
pitched for Brown before entering the
professional ranks, and Lundgren was
at one time the star pitcher at the
University of Illinois. Chase of the
New Yorks is an old Columbia univer-
sity player, and Lewis of Brooklyn,
was graduated from Georgetown.
Primo etOn won many battles with Hille-
brand in the pitchers box, and his hand
joined Pittsburg. Beaumont left the
college ranks to join President Drey-
fus at Pittsburg.
Gibson of the Boston Americans;
Ruelhach the Chicago National league
pitcher; Camel, formerly of the Bos-
ton Nationals: Mullen of Detroit, and
Overall, the Chicago pitcher. are col
lege graduates. This is not the full
list of college men playing professional
baseball, but it is enough to show that
there is plenty of class in the college
elements in the national game.
While the sport has secured many
former college stars. there are several
who went into other pursuits after
leaving college.

will turn out with the crew. Clostor
is one of the best men who evor
represented the university and alone
with Dan Pullen is one of the men
who could probably pull an oar with
any man in the United States.
Members of last years crew will
meet shortly and elect a captain. Tho
captaincy will probably go to either
Gloster. Lowry or Bill Kirby. all Of
whom are popular with the men and
are experienced Oarsmen. The inter.
est in aquatic sports at the univer.
sity is accentuated by the new Asso.
ciated Student boat house where arc
located lockers and dressing rooms
for the crew and canoe racks and
lockers for the many students who
own canoes.
Plans are now being prepared for

the best and fastest boats on the lake
1t is hardly hoped to build this launch
this year but as it will be built nv
students it may be started so that il
may be ready for next year.
A new branch of INTERCOLLEGIATE
athletics will be undertaken by the
University this spring in putting ten
mis- among the list of INTERCOLLEGIATE
sports. There is considerable tennis
enthusiasm at the university, both
among men and women, and there
will be large turnout for the cham
piOnships. The plan is. at present, to
hold tournament east of the noun
tains, and it is believed that this will
be highly successful. and will open
up to those students who are lovers
of the more genteel game, an oppor-
tunity for intercollegiate contest.

1894 They travelled from this city to
New York and Portland, Maine, back
TO Kansas City, to New York again
and then to Pittsburg. The trip to
Seattle again was made by train and
at this time the wagon on wheels IN
which the entire journey was made Is
in storage in the eastern city where II
will remain until the wanderers are
again ready to start out.
Mr.. Lasley was formerly mattress
maker in Port Angeles He was fore
ed to leave his trade in search OF
health and the plan was conceived OF
making a tour of the country in a
wagon. A house was built of shakes
and placed on wheels and it is this
house that has been the abode of the
Family and the birthplace of the two
daughters, for IL years part.
At this time Mr.. Lasiey and mis-
wife are preparing to continue their
Journey in a house h6slowed out of a
.edar stump and this unique abode is
,eing built. They expect to leave in
he spring. During the entire trip the
ather has supported himself and fam
~ in all sorts of ways. His princi-
pal revenue has been secured from
the sale Of books which he has writ
ten about his journeys. The family Is
living in Columbia City.

Since the advent of college gradu-
ates into professional baseball, the
moral standard of our national game
has been raised, and the sport today
is on higher plane than ever before
Each year finds the ranks of the major
baseball leagues augmented by class
of players who bring intelligence, speed
skill and alertness into all departments
of the game. College men have
contributed materially in improving the
tone of professional ball players as a
body, but that was bound to come in
game in which physical and mental
fitness is a requisite, and there was
among professional players to furnish
fruitful ground for the collegian.
Some Famous Players.
Several college graduates refuse to
play Sunday baseball. This refusal is
not based upon desire for day
rest from the long strain of physical
training but respect for the Sabbat.
Two notable examples are Fred Tenny
day ball playing on principle. col
lege education is a most useful thing
and any ball player is better off for
having it. but in itself it does not in
crease a players chance of success I'M
less it carries with it natural abil-
ity to shine in that particular walk of
life There are two college men who
are managers in big leagues as well
as players this season. The two are
J. Stahl. of the Washington American
league team. an alumnus of the Uni
versity Of Illinois, and Fred Tenny. of
the Boston Nationals, a graduate of
Brown university.
College Players.
1t is a matter of record that nearly
every college player who has entered
the professional ranks has risen to the
top of the baseball ladder. thereby
proving that brains, training and asso-
Citations have been important factors
in his success. Whether pitching, field
ing, catching or batting, the college
bred man has invariably risen above
his fellows. There are today nearly
100 college graduates playing baseball
in the big leagues. Not team in the
National and American league is with
out one or two, and in some clubs as
many as four or five of the players
were graduated with hOnOrs.
Brown university has given to pro-
fessional baseball not only Tenny, and
Fultz. but Lynch of Pittsburg, Pattee
of Jersey City, and Lauder, formerly
with New York and Philadelphia.
Christy Mathewson, the crack pitcher
of the New York Nationals is Buck
nell college man. He is considered by
many as the best pitcher in the coun-
try today. Devlin, of the New York
champions, came from Georgetown;
Drill. the catcher. White, the capable
pitcher of the Chicago Americans; Hart

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Parole bad hus-
bands to good husbands
Is that the proposition which will
cure the evil of wife desertion and re-
pair shattered households? CnIcas"
is to be permitted to see whether IL
is a remedy.
Judge Mckenzie Cleland of the
make the test.
Originally ii was expected that the
jurst would have as special guests
Mayor Dunno, Controller McGann, and
Aid. Flick and Bowler. but the lnvi-
tations-more properly subpoenaes--
which were issued for these four per-
sonages have not been served. me
four were not, Of course, among the
forty. but were wanted as Wit 7csSeS
to the judges homeopathic methods
His plan is elaborate. and he hopes it
will heal many a domestic breach in
the southwest side of town.
The decision to parole recreant hus-
bands to substantial men Of the
neighborhood has it's origin, in a
sense. in clash which took place
some weeks ago between Judge Gle
land and the mayor. The judge c"iti-
cised the mayor for pardonins two
convicted men without Investigating
the merits of the case. Then the
mayor and the controller countered
on the judge with allegations that
he was assessing fines and then sus-
pending them, thus depriving the city
of source of income.
Over 40 Cases,
Since the accusations were made
against him Judge Cleland has con-
tinued over 40 cases of marital
unhappness until tomorrow night.
The defendants are to report concern
ing their conduct and Judge Cieland
will decide at that time whether the
fines shall be RENTED or collected.
or whether the probationary period
shall be heightened.
A volunteer corps Of parole officers
among the business men of the dis
trict will be organized as part of the
general scheme of the reformation
of men who abuse their families.
Judge Cleland in the afternoon had
a consultation with the attorneys
who practice in his court and enlisted
their cooperation. They agreed 10
find business men in the distric- WHO
would each promise to keep watch in
a friendly way over one family. The
list will be prepared and the business
men are expected to be in court TO
get their wards.
The system has been worked out
by Judge Cleland after conferences
with representatives from the bureau
of charities. the United Hebrew char
tiles and Hull house
ITO fine husbands in such cases is
more than useless" Judge Cleland
said. IF they pay their fine the
money comes. Of course, from their
