ONE OR HE OTHER

The frequency with which the question as to whether halfbreed Indians are Indians or white men comes up, and the decisions of the various courts in the same regard, causes one to sometimes ponder over the matter, even though he be absolutely disinterested
 The present federal statute says, substantially, that If halfbreed lives and associates with Indians, he is an Indian; but if he lives and associates with white men, he is a white man." Nov, if he lives with Indians and associates with white men, or vice versa, which is he, Indian or white man?
 The law makes it crime to fur pish intoxicating liquors to h. iians and some halfbreeds, while others of the mixed blood can buy :booze" in any quantity and at any place. The saloon "teeper is required to pay a big license for the privilege of carrying on his business, yet, in return for this, he is afforded no protection by law as to the line to be drawn between white man and Indian.
 It is our opinion that if all h. dians were allowed to procure their liquor whenever they want it, there would be less drunkenness and less desire on their parts for the stuff. An Indian is a human being, and 1t Is human nature to crave that which is denied you. When you are told that you can not have thing, you would adopt extreme measures to get that thing.
 The truth of this statement is proven bt the circumstances sur rounding the discontinuance of the army post canteens, at the instiga- ton of the W. c. T. U. in 1900. When the soldiers, who had been temperate and contented during the life of the post saloons, were denied the lighter intoxicants to be found there, they would drink to excess outside the post. Then the ". c. T. U. and the regimental ehaplains were the first to pray for the re-establiShment of the canteen. And we believe that after the nov city of freedom to get liquor wore off, the Indian would settle down as peacably and contented as many of their white brethren.
 As to the halfbreed, every one of them is either an Indian or a white, and the sooner congress decides which. the sooner will justice be done to the men whose licenses go far in support of the public schools of Alaska.

A Missouri farmer has just died at the age of forty-eight years after drinking one quart of whiskey per day for the past twenty years. This is a side-wipe to the good old the
 orp that one must drink corn juice constantly to round out eighty, ninety or 100 years of hardy, jolly and notorious existence. Accord ing to the old argument that whis- key, used moderately and regularly -that is, daily and in rational quantities-contributes to longevi- ty, this Missourian should have lasted just fifty years longer, But the truth of the matter is that whiskey, g good thing in its way and place and unabused, has but mighty little bearing on any mans life, if that life be clean and whole some and sanitary and honest. These clements have far more to do with ripe old age than any guz- zling habit ever heard of. Whis- key, as it is known and used in this age, is a worse curse than any thing else, because it leads to all other desperate evils and habits.

1t is estimated that the business OF
the American Smelling and Refining
company has fallen on fully so per cent
since the depression in general business
set in. while some of its subsidiary COM
panies have probably showed even a
greater loss. The old theory. used with
much effect in times past. was that the
business of this company. which Is
mainly the smelling of gold and silver
ores and silver-lead ores, will not suner
or decrease in times Of industrial de-
preston, for the reason that the world
at large will continue to demand with
as much vigor as ever h output OF
gold and silver. and perhaps even more
strenously in bad times thai In good.
and that therefore all the smelling COM
panies had to do was to continue its
smelling operations and dispose OF Its
output.
This probably was the rule In former
times. as 1t was, for instance. in 1908,
when the price of silver dropped to
about So cents an ounce, and lead fell
to 2h @2% cents a pound. In spite OF
this low quotation. miners continued to
send forward their ores in almost as
