of 1906, on the eighth dar of the month there were TWO hundred and ten open saloons in Kansas City, Kan sas. with it's s5.O0U people and thirty days after that date. according to this mans statement, and you may verify it if you please, there was not single one. They were closed, double barred
 and locked and some of them had padlocks on them. What an awful ca lamity must have come upon that city if this thing ruins business. What happened2 Did the banks close? Did real estate go down in price? Did
 rents become cheaper? Did houses become vacant? Did business stop Just the contrary The banks did not close. Houses and lands did not be- come cheaper. Rents staid up. Houses did not bee ome vacant. Business went on with additional success. What about the banks. Mir. Trickett was not willing to put his statement before the public without evidence so he has published four letters from ihe four cashiers of the four leading banks and
 one letter from the vice. president of another Of the leading banks of that city and every one of them is to the effect that the banking business has gone on with leaps and bounds and that during the year when the saloons were closed there was an increase in bank deposits of $1,500,000 Not bad,

 That is the question dear friends. It isn't question of money. It isn't a question as to whether it is right in principle as regards liberty. It is a question as to virtue and character.

THE MORAL DIGNITY OF THE
 TEMPERANCE REFORM.

At the First Baptist church Sunday morning the pastor. Rev. Orville Goats. took for his text 1 Corinthians 10:31. Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do. do all to the glory of God" He said. in part, as follows;
 Obedience to such an exhortation lifts life to the highest conceivable moral level So live that your life will lead others to love, honor and obey God: so live as to reflect the glorious character Of eternal goodness! This is life's supreme motive. Such thought is an appropriate introduction to the consideration of the present movement for the redemption of society from the curse of the liquor traffic.

MT. Munsey takes emphatic issue with Wall Street and the followers of Wall Street who hold the President responsible for the panic. It is not his pur- pose in the discussion to acquit MT. Roosevelt of blame, but rather to get at the facts, as the facts are necessary to intelligent progress in the recovery of our business activities.
 If these facts," MT. Munsey says, "acquit the President, he is, as a matter of common hon. esty, entitled to the acquittal." What we want to know, and should know, is the truth. And

Victor Von Salemann of Moscow, Russia, went to New York for the purpose of studying sky-scrapers. He sought to learn all there is to know about them in four days, and return to Moscow and Straightway construct one. Mir. Von Salemann owns several buildings in Moscow, and short time ago determined to erect one of the sky scraping variety, for there are no laws in Moscow limiting the height of build ings, as there are ip St. Petersburg. After he got aboard the steamer to come to New York Mr. Salemann re- membered that he did not know a word of the English language, so he began to study it. All his time during the seven days he was at sea he put in on study, with the result that he arrived in New York with working knowl- edge of the language, which enabled him to converse freely on any Sublect.

To Have Wireless

Arrangements having been conclud- ed by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha for the installation of wireless telegraphy on all its ships coming to this port, it is probable that this line will be the first in the Oriental service out of Puget Sound to be equipped with the appara- tuS. The system will be of the TCle- funken pattern and will be installed on the Tango, Shinano Iyo, Aki, Kaga and Tosa Maru of the line.
 These arrangements will permit a vessel to notify Seattle of her approach when several hours away at sea. There has been established a station at cape Inuboye, the first headland in approaching the Japanese shore, and by this means the Oriental ports will be notified of the ships arrival there. It is expected that the Empress ships of the Canadian Pacific also will have wireless in the near future.-Seattle Times

Good in Everything

The late Sir Wilfred Lawson, well known as an English temperance re- former as well as a wit, invariably took cheerful view of life and con- duct. In conversation with him one day an ardent person railed forcibly against the habit of christening ves- sels with champagne before being launched. Sir Wilfred did not alto gether agree and said a good temper ance lecture might be learned from the practice.
 "How can that be?" demanded the other.

The Blessings

It is opportune at this time to call attenion to one of the benefits which would be derived from territorial government: Yesterday telegrams told of the transfer of the Hasey murder case from Valdez to the Juneau dis trict. Were we at this time under a territorial form of government the county in which Valdez was located would be forced to pay the costs of the tsransferof the uit. The funds would of course have to be raised by taxing the property located in the county in which Valdez is situated, and the item of mileage for witnesses alone, figuring the number stated in the telegrams, would amount to $S, ,4OO-and this does not include the per diem they would receive nor the cost of the mileage of the jury or the per diem they would draw. Any one big murder case would so raise taxes in any county that might be established under territor- ial form of government that it would preclude business men from carrying stocks, investments being made or buildings or homes erected by Alas kans-a few of them would hopelessly bankrupt the county.-Juneau Tran script.

Cutting Down The Time

To cross the ocean in two or three days-that problem which has troubled the dreams of every sea captain and naval engineer for years-has been solved, according to a Boston mariner, by his new type of steamship construc- tion. Captain Mark Golinsky is the inventor of this new wonder.
 He has adapted the principles in the construction of his hull from nature and has patterned it as much after a fish as wood and steel would permit.
 The type of hull construction was given thorough trial in England be- fore his majesty's marine board, and every claim set forth by Captain Go- linsky was approved.
 He has taken patents on his design in England, Canada and Germany, and in this country, and is at present draw ing up plans for battleship in which the Russian government is interested, and in which he will embody his prin- ciple of hull standardization Past

After Coast Boats

San Francisco-For the first tire since the days preceding the Spanish American war, agents of the govern ment are actively engaged in examin- ing the large merchant vessels trading on the Pacific coast, with a view to ascertaining their value as transports or colliers, in the event of the govern ment finding it necessary at any time to enlist their services.
 For some weeks Rear Admiral Henry Glass has been engaged in an examina- tion of vessels of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, with a special view to their availability as transports and colliers.
 It was learned that a complete list of all American vessels on the Pacific coast which might be utilized by the government will soon be in possession of the officials of the navy department at Washington.

Parcels Post Rates

Senator Burnham of New Hampshire introduced in Congress a measure of distinct importance to rural interests throughout the United States. It is a bill to provide rural delivery parcels post for merchandise and other arti- cles actually mailed on rural delivery routes. The rural free delivery routes now number more than 38,0OO, and on them in excess of l5,OOO,OOO people re- ceive daily postal service.
 The measure introduced by Senator Burnham has the indorSement of the president and PoStmaster-General Meyer. It provides, in brief, for the establishing of rural parcels post at special rates of postage for the delivery of food stufTS, dry goods, drugs, books and other merchandise. The rate of postage shall be five cents for the first pound and two cents for each addi- tional pound or fraction thereof, and on parcels weighing less than one pound as follows: Two ounces or less, one cent: over two and under four ounces, two cents, over four and not exceeding twelve ounces, four cents, and over twelve ounces and under one pound, five cents.

Food for the Dead

When a death occurs among the Es- kimoS of the North, the body is taken to some suitable spot and covered with debris of various kinds, drift wood forming a good part of it. Food con- sisting mainly of fish ,for this is their chief article of diet) is placed on the pile along with simple presents of things they think will be useful to the departed spirit, This is renewed so long as they have opportunity to do so. As they seldom stay longer than one year in a place, this period marks the limit of this expression of their sor- row and interest in the future welfare of the dead.-Douglas Island News.
