 as his holidays were rare: He said, II need an outing and I
 need the good, fresh air. Bring lots of ammunition, :" said the

 But never touched the deer Again they chased the frightened

The new law fixing the retail liquor license of Alaska at the uniform amount ot Sl, GOO is only one more in- stance in which the little fellow is to be squeezed out of business by the ''big fellow. . Numerous saloons whose propriet9rs are conducting their business in legitimate way. can afford to pay the present annual license of $500, but whose business will not justify the pawn ent of ,000. In humber of Alaska towns the new law will throw the entire business into the hands of one dealer, who, in order to play even'' for the extra $500, and be free from competition, will "doctorn his hootch with additional poisons. The law will also encourage lawlessness in the form of ''blind pigs" Men will have their drink, by fair means or foul, and, recognizing this fact. there is always someone to supply the demand, even at the risk of freedom. We believe the law will accomplish more harm than good Wrangell Sentinel.

THE NEGRO VOTE.

The leading papers in the states are indulging in more or less specula- tion just now concerning the negro vote and it's probable effect in the coming presidential campaign. It is believed on the one hand and feared on the other that the Brownsville in- cident created a universal political uprising among the colored voters. be- cause at the negro conference held in Boston recently Taft was denounced. Eoraker of Ohio declares he is going to put the party on record at the Chi cago convention by introducing res olution denouncing Roosevelt's action ID the matter Which ever way the convention decides to vote Taft is the loser and this of course is Foraker's $ object. The importance of this ques- tion will be more fully realized after q study of the negro vote in the differ ent states where they hold the balance of power.
 The states in which their votes could exercise decisive result are:
 New York, where there ale 3s, 000 negroes of voting age.
 Connecticut. with ,, 100 negroes of voting age.
 N.w Jersey with 26, GOO of voting age.
 Delaware, with 800 of voting age.
 Marylan with s4. .000 of voting age.
 West Virginia, with r, 800 of vot- ing age.
 Ohio, with 4a, o00 of voting age.
 Indiana with 22, GOO of voting age.
 Illinois, wiht 36, GOO of voting age.
 Missouri, with 54, 0Go of voting age.
 Kansas, with T., 000 of voting age.
 Nebraska, with 2,600 of voting age.
 Colorado, with 3. 900 ot voting age.

 New York, June 10.-Great interest
 in the e-presidential nomination is
 being manifested here today, but while there are many names mention ed the sentiment has not yet crystal ized on any one man. Local politicians
 will make every effort to land the second place on the ticket for an East ern man. Secretary Cortelyou has many supporters, and would admitted Y make very strong candidate. but it is urged against him that in the event of Taft's nomination. which is generally accepted as foregone conclusion, there would he two mem-
