NOTE AND COMMENT OF
 NORTHERN NEWSPAPERS

The much alive and up-to-date grand jury, recently in session, iu addition to it's other labors drafted bill govern ing the establishment and control of all banks in the territory that do a general banking business" |" Alaska has no banking laws, and the bill is design ed to meet the deficiency. The ball as prepared seems to be fair and sound. It has been sent to Delegate Gale, who without doubt, will use his best en- deavors to have it passed. There are only two national banks in all Alaska, but there is quite number of private ard incorporated banks doing business In the various towns, and a banking law, adequate in it's scope and proYis- ions, is certainly needed. h this connection it may be interesting to note that Alaska has never had a bank failure.-Katalla Herald.
 As for the opposition to home rule in Alaska, we here set it down without fear of successful contradiction, that the opposition to a government by the people, and not by bureaucracy, is mainly confined to a few federal officials and the paid agents of the big corPo- rations. their pie-bIters and paid cla- quers. Delegate Gale is right when he tells the president that the slate- ments mape by federal officials" are untrue. and President Roosevelt might believe him were not the chief exec utive so thoroughly saturated with the centralIzatiOn Of power doctrine. h some respects he is as bitter tory as ever preached the divine right of kings. -Katslla Herald.

Yep, let us have another fifty thou or so for Alaska schools. We need it for the iulfument Of our desire to set up industrial schools. This is one thing we should like to see the government undertake in earnest. Industrial schools point the direct road to better condi- tious among natives and white children alike. The suggestion made by Dr.. Hutton, who has made a study Of tbe condition of the natives has much to recommend it. He says: Instruct the adults in how to be clean and healthy and not only selt-suppOrtingwtOr they are that now,-but that they may know how for themselves to improve their condition"

THE FINAL THROW

At the hazard table the players sat, Unknown to fame, In old Pompeii, dust-covered town Ata dieIng-gsme, When swift from the mountains burn
 ing side, The storm swept down, And the ashes buried them as they sat la that long lost town. And so they waited through endless
 years,
 With heads bent low, While countless nation rose and fell, For the final throw; Till the light of day burst on the scene, And they fell to dust; For so Death finished their game of
 chance, As old Death must. We, too, sit at our dicing-game, While over sll Fate drops it's ashy cloud of years, In desthly pail. And so we wait through endless years, With heads bent low, Till Death shall finish our game, of

What labor needs is wise leadership. And that labor should have wise lead ership is one oi the most important neeIs of the world. Labor Is the main thing, the great moving power, the im- por,aut factor tn the economy of the world. Therefore its needs are the most important needs, iu which all have a part. That labor has not often good leadership is not half so notable a thing as that 1t ever has good lead ership. For to lead labor requires rare qualities. Labor is a mass of that dit- fcult yhtag called human nature. It has infinite variations of interests, for the most part conflicting one with auo,hsr-impsratiye, mandatory iuau~ ences pulling and hauling at it in diff fsrent directions, ambitions, teyerish desires to get rich, or to find ease or rest, sparriug iJ to selfish indiscreJiOns, sick or hungry wives and children, or uusatfsded mortgages that whip the man into humility and the acceptance oithe terms ofthe master. Leadership Go De successful must marshal all these into one strange combination.
 fgnorauc s-whew,-lhat's another one. And what reserve of power must be brought into play where this irri- tatjug, dense, refractory quality is to be rscoacued with all the others. Thus is is rasher the wonder that sue cessful leadership ever Outlasts a spasmodjc occasion.
 And yet there have been magnificent successes iu this difficult, field. One Of ihem has been stricken from the list by siciness-NIIchell by name, Another has been a. the head of the American Federation for many years and is still thers. These indicate future possibili. ties. Is is that personifed inertia, Ig- narance-,or which there is vast excuse in this great mass-that makes bad leadership popular. Labor were this giant able to gather itsslt up and pre- cipita,e itself upon a gwen point under good leadership there would be- nothing to it; DO war. The gates would quietly fall away before the irresistible force, and there we would all be toge,her-iu paradise. But the slow movement wherewitb nature works, the steady grind of EVOLU- TON is necessary that those immediate necessities tha, now divide the mass into so many individuals, shall at last become amalgamated. Hence the war drives ou. And SO it is that labor is to be confronted by the soldiers at Treadwel, so it is that Fairbanks Is being "scabbed" as that greatest of mining camps lsnd where lately labor was strong to the point of arrogance) has been scabbed and spoiled utterly,
 But these are but processes in the work of evolution. Bad leaders have their educational uses as we'll ss-per- haps better than-the good.

The whale dance of the Koryaks,

other case where the host has all the
pleasure. Like the man who mixes the
cocktail, says Here's to YOU. and

white whale, or the beluga, cut its
head Off, eat its flesh, entertain its
head as guest and then set that
member adrift with the expectation
that 1t will return to its former COM

manner. Certainly the Koryaks, not

Mob a Classic Term,

The mob" an abbreviation of "the
mobile" which represents the Latin
mobile vulgus" (the fickle crowd)
came into the language about 16sO-9O.
Malone notes. that T. Brown in 1890
wrote both 1.-The mobile" and "the mob"
while in 1862 Dryden ventured the
monosyllable with sort of apology for
using it. Addison regarded it as a re-
grettable abbreviation, to be classed
with "incog." According to Macaulay
in the year 1850 "our tongue was en-
riched with two words, mob and
SHAM remarkable memorials Of a sea-
son of tumult and imposture."
