THAT FOURTH DIVISION

The Gale bili for Fourth judicial division in Alaska, like nearly all de- mands which Alaska puts up 10 con- gress. .asks'for too much, and unless the excess demands are climinat ated the whole project Ia liable to collapse of It's own weight. The bill asks not only for Fourth division but for five iect to assignment at all times by the attorney-general.
 The scriptural injunction, Ask and ye shall receive" was promulgated before Alaska was discovered, and Ike the constitution has not followed the flag to the territory. Alaska does not receive from congress what it asks, and seldom what 1t needs, but solely what congress is disposed to dole out in charity.
 Alaska does not require five judges of the district court, although occa- sions are numerous when that mum Der would be useful. What 1t does need, and the need is recognized by every one who knows anything of the territory, is a resident judge both at Valdez and at Fairbanks. Heretofore and up to date one judge has been required to stretch himself from the coast to the Yukon. This is hard on the judge and moro drastic on the people.
 When the judge Is at one end of the lot, -; la, ,Ia upon the court at the other end have to be carried OH at great expense by telegraph, or nt the still greater OK pense of an arduous trip overland by an attorney, and sometimes by liti- gant.
 Just now the Tauana is yelling 50 loudly for the presence of Judge Reid that the disturbance is suggestive of an incipicnt riot. Valuable mining property Is tied up by injunctions and other forms of litigation tighter than Il miners strike could do it and the wall comes over the divide that unless these lawsuits are determined vast curtailmcnt of production will result. About the time the judge reaches the delta somebody down here will want m injunctson or man. damus on fifteen minutes notice. and he won't get it.
 Alaska needs the Fourth division with all its attendant judicial machin- cry, but If it gCts another judge for the Third division the people will draw long breath before starting in again to cuss the federal government.
 Nevertheless another division is badly nocdcd. At the present time tho district attorney is riding over n rough winter trail to reach the Tana- na on account of the mcnRce Of the minors strike. Ills Valdez assistant is In Juneau to look after a murder case, and the only remaining nssistant in tho coast end ie supposed to be OK. ercising caroful personal supervision over the landscape from the l41st meridian to Attn island in longitude i73 cast, whorO Japanese pirate fish ermen may be raidinG native villages, and incidently keeping his weather eye on the interior acreage of the Third division as far as Mount Mo Kinley. For information he hae to trust strictly 10 the wireless system.

TAFT AS 4 CAMPAIGNER.
His Most Attractive Characteristics are
 Simplicity and Kindness.

There are few men in either the democratic or republican parties who make as good campaigner as does Secretary Taft, for the reason that he has no particular methods; he is sim pie and natural To those who knew him In his college days he is still Big Bill" Taft. dignified and able, yet all ways royal good fellow.
 To the men who came in contact with him during the years he served on the bench he is still the fearless judge, quite as ready to protect the rights under the law of the weakest man in the community as well as those of property. but always the same quiet. unassuming.
