WRONGS AND REMEDIES.

A political campaign is on in the
United States On the one side are
millions of partisans who want "the
government Sustained" on the other
side are millions who are crying out for
a new deal. Both platforms are appeals
for popular favor. in the meantime
the people who think are asking them
selves few questions which neither
platform answers. One is, why in so
rich land as ours should there be de-
preston and forebodings of evil in the
hearts of the people? Another is, if
from field and mine and factor, enough
new wealth is produced annually to buy
European state, why is there conges
ton and distress in our country? Is
our government the perfect government
which we have been taught t. believe it
is. or has it fatal defects, either in its

1t seems to us there must be return
to common sense and justice. If rich
men or companies are abusing the pow
er in their hands, the long arm OF the
law should be stretched out to arrest
their work not with brass band or
sounding manifesto, but with the silence
and directness of the bulldog when he
finds burglar in the house. That the
labor unions should be protected in
every legitimate attempt to protect
their members, but that the under
standing should be among the unious
that no shirk or incompetent would be
protected or defended. That gradu-
ated income tax should be levied aud
enforced up to the point of confscation
when the income becomes too large.
That the self pity of the poor should be
no longer encouraged, but that the old
law should be invoked that what man
has he must earn. That rewards for
excellence in very useful line should
be paid. That inasmuch as money is
the engine which controls the world,
the first duty of those in power should
be to initiate foreign lands and adjust
matters so that the drain of gold from
the country annually exceeding the
country's income should be arrested
aud that the object should be to invoke
all the wisdom possible and then to rur
the country on the dead square-Good

SsI Paid for HaIf-cent Piece

New York-Fifty-o dollars paid at an auction of coins for copper half cent, is said to be the highest price ever given in this country for a coin of that denomination, and date, 1895. Another high price was $40 for a pair of 5O-cent pieces of paper money, one having Crawford's face, and the other Stanton's on it. Two large United States cents dated 1921 and 1852, sold for $lOl. This also was said to be a record price.
 A half dollar of 1859 brought $33. Fifteen United States cents of franc size sold for $lO.5O, and a half dollar dated 1853 sold for $95. Another went for $50.

Autos Have Trouble Ahead

Reindeer Bill" Huber, the Alaska mail carrier, now in Taco ma, says the automobiles on their way to Paris will have plenty of trouble down the Yukon to Nome. The only chance the racers will have to reach Nome on schedule time, in the opinion of "Reindeer Bill, " is to follow in the wake of the big dog teams carrying the mails. The snow gets as deep on the frozen rrver as it does on land. If the ice is smooth and the wind heavy, the snow will blow off, but often it ac- cumuIates and makes travel difficult. The large, heavy sleds with their 300 ana 400 pounds of Uncle Sans mail, together with the dog team. comprised of dozen or more malamutes, may break the trail enough for the auto mobiles to travel over it,

Alaska Indians Starving

Valdez-The grand jury touching on the question of the condition of Alaska Indians in it's final report last week, says that the natives practically all over the district are in starving and deplorable condition, and urges that some action be taken by the gov ernment to alleviate this condition. The tribes in the Copper river country and at the head of the Susitna are said to be in danger of complete ex- tinction if relief is not given them.

No Release for Thaw Now

Albany, There is no hope for the release of Harry K. Thaw from Mat teawan State Hospital until he has served at least sixty days there, ac- cording to Dr. Ferris, president of the State Lunacy Commission, who was asked regarding the probability of proceedings looking toward Thaw'S immediate release.
 Dr. Ferris said that in every such case the patient is kept under obSer- vation for sixty days, and at the end of that period if he is regarded by Supt. Lamb of the institution as sane a report to that effect will be made to the court. If Thaw is believed by Dr.. Lamb to be insane as result of his examination and observation it is not likely that any report will be made unless Thaw's counsel should force the matter into the courts.

After Alaskan Trade

Portland According to official re- ports received by the Chamber of Commerce of this city, the trade of Alaska with the outside world fell off perceptibly in the year 1907.
 But even admitting that the trade of Alaska is falling off," Secretary Giltner of the Chamber of Commerce says, "we should not abate in our ef- forts to secure portion of it. Port land is situated favorably for the trade of the territory reached by ocean yes sels, and if we had a direct line to Ju- neau, Sitka, and other prominent ports of the Far North We could soon work up trade that could not be wrested away from Us.
 "While it is true that San Francisco has forfeited her Alaskan trade in fa- vor of Seattle, Portland, being so much nearer the Alaskan coast than San Francisco, should bestir herself to keep in touch with the Alaska ports reach ed over the outside passage This city produces much that Alaska needs in the matter of clothing and supplies. and these goods could be landed in the coast cities with as small expense as they can be from Seattle or Vancouver, D ~"

Still in Dispute

Seattle-In an interview published in the Winnipeg newspapers some months ago, Leo NabakoT startled the British and American governments by a description of old documents which he had discovered in the Russian arch ives at Sitha very materially affecting the boundary lines of Alaskan territo- ny which the United States purchased from Russia in 1867. Nabakot had been attuche of the exhibit made by Russia at tine Chicago Worlds Fair and was afterward sent by his govern ment Co Sitka to collect historical data of the early days of Russja's occupancy of Alaska.
 Seattle people got interested in the statements of the find and have since obtained certified copies of the docu- ments referred to. They find that all the western coast of North America north of Vancouver belongs to Russia and should have gone with Alaska at the time of the transfer They have corroberated this by correspondence with the Russian government and steps are being taken to complete the records and lay the whole matter be- fore the United States government with petition for early consideration.

body Of the leader of the Hubbard
expedition in Labrador 400 miles on
his shoulders, has just returned from
a journey through the states of ST.

Speaking of his experiences, Wal
lace said that he scaled the highest
peaks of the Sierra Madre ranges,
10000 feet above the level of the
sea, by foot and mules. He traversed
about 1000 miles through the rug
ged country, in company with one

country, Wallace said, is most re-
markable and is adapted to the grow
ing of two crops Of corn without If

HER ALT REMEMBERED.

A dealer in secondhand furniture
lately came into possession of a
piano which for four years was in
a college boys room. 1t was badly
battered and its strings showed that
songs had been thumped out on it
with much energy. It's pedals, too,
we're shattered and the fortissimo
pedal was almost beyond hope. The
case Of the piano, which was Of fine
rosewood, was scratched or carved
with initials, bits Of poetry and
caricatures. But it remained for q
black key rather high up on the scale
to bear the finest handiwork, fol
there in beautifully cut old English
letters was the inscription "This il

pain Facts.

Sore democratic papers that
are opposing Senator Stone for
the United States senate, speak
Of nim as Gum Shoe Bill" and
'the man who hides the she'll"
If these papers knew who first
gave these names to Senator
Stone they might not use them
so freely. Years before Gov.
Folk was known Senator Stone,
then governor, said the lobby
that tried to corrupt the state
legislature must be run out and
crushed. Then he began his
celebrated fight on William H.
Phelps, the boss of the lobby
and a recognized leader in Mis-
souri, state politics. Senator
Stone publicly denounced Phelps
and his gang in the Jefferson
City convention and elsewhere.
Thea it was that Phelps replied,
calling him Cum Shoe Bill
etc. Phelps was as trong man and
Senator Stone made a bitter
enemy Of him and the large gang
he controlled. Phelps and his
crowd began a fight on Stone
andare doing everything theycan
defeat him. 1t is needless to
say that Mr.. Phelps and Joe
Shannon were Gov. Folks
strongest supporters four years
ago and are his leading support
ers now. At a state convention
held in Kansas City some years
since then Gov. Stone hired a
public hall and in one of the
most impassioned addresses
ever heard in the state denounced
the Kansas City Star as a bride
taker and thoroughly devoid Of
honor. There are many citizens
living in Platte comfy now who
heard this celebrated speech Of
Senator Stones. This was years
before Joe Folk wrote the Beatti
tudes or was ever heard Of. II
is needless to state that the Kan.
sas City Star is supporting Gov.
Folk and is abusing Senator
Stone in every issue. You car
