"The gun plays among the for eigners on the (Douglas) Island are getting to be entirely to com mon. The authorities whose busi- ness it is to see that the Jaw is enforced should either attend to their duties or resign their offices and let some one fill them who will. Were these same men to make these gun plays on the other side of the boundary line that they make here they would serve from two to three years in the peniten- tiary."-Alaska-Tf Record. That's the dope, brotherl Hand it out to the foreigners, but let the others go scot free. Don't say any thing about a certain Treadwell officer trying to bluff Eli Bielich, recently, by poking a gun in his face. Such mention might reflect discredit upon the said Treadwell officer; and then, again, the said officer might cut off your meal ticket. It makes a difference whose OK is gored, don't it, brother?

SHOULD BE PASSED

The bill to regulate the practice of medicine in Alaska, which has been introduced in congress, will receive the unanimous endorsement bi the Alaska population, and should become a law without any serious opposition. The bill pro- vides that "it shall be unlawful for any person 10 practice medicine 5r surgery in the Territory of Alas ka, who has not first attended a competent medical and surgical school or college for a period of five consecutive years, and obtained from such school or college a cer- tifcate or diploma, signed by the yaeulty. showing him to be a con- betent physician and surgeon;'
 The bill also provides that "it shall be the duty of the governor 5f A aska to appointi annually, a board of five competent physicians and surgeons whose duty it shall be to receive applications from all belsons signifying q desire to prac tice medicine and surgery in the Territory of Alaska, and examine such persons thoroughly in all the various branches Of the profession, said applicant to exhibit to said board his certificate or diploma from the medical school or college which he has attended for a period Of five consecutive years prior 10 making such application"
 The bill also makes it a nlisde- meanor and provides a penalty for practicing medicine or surgery in Alaska without having first obtain ! license from the examining board. The practice of medicine and sur gery upon human beings is a thing that should only be allowed to per sons who are thoroughly competent and reliable, which has been given little attention in Alaska. Being without regulations in this regard, Alaska becomes the Mecca Of many persons who have acquired q title knowledge of the profession, but who are not capable cf making a correct diagnosis of disease. and who could not pass the examina- tion required in tEe states.
 True, Alaska has many good and competent practitioners, and. having the lives of Alaskans in is hands, congress should be prompt in enacting legislation which will protect the people from the quacks and coanterieit doctors whoss num- bers are steadily increasing.
 let the bill pass,

In view of the added safety, this paper proposes to recommend that .every door of the school building used for ingress or egrass by the children be swung on butt hinges. so tbct they will swing in either direction. Wrangell children are just as susceptible to excitement as are those of any other section, and as there is always possibility of a fire and it's attendant panic, a few dollars spent now for butt hinges may be considered economy in the future.
