New York, May l3.-lt is better for

This country should follow the ex-
ampiet set by Germany. The federal
so'ernment snould institute old age
pensions ana compulsory insurance.
Part Of the cost might be betrayed by
the employe, part by the employer
and part by the government itself. "
Persons in the audience were ask

dress. and the first man TO rise want
ed to know whether Miss Nethersole
and Sarah Bernhardt did not do more

Press dispatches state that the West ern Federation of Miners, in session at
 Denver, has passed resolutions calling for Che appointment of a federal com mission to investigate the Treadwell mines. Yanco Tersich who represent ed tho debilitated Douglas branch of that organization is the author of charges that men are killed in theSe mines and their deaths are kept secret with the conDivance not only of the United States commissioner but Gov. ernor HoggstE as we'll. The Western Federationists on Douglas Island struck last March and demanded eight hours, recognition of the union, control of the hospital and the man. agement of the Treadwell Club, but said nothing about a dangerous con- dition of the mines, which, if Suoh condition did exist, they must have known at that time. Their demands were refused and other men from all parts of the country gladly took their places, and are new happy and content ed. Since they Struok no member of the Western Federation has been per mitted to go near the mines, mainly because the company wished to pro- tect its property from being blown up by dynamite or otherwise destroyed. Now that they have lost, this Western Federation gang seeks to injure the Treadwell company in the only way they eau, by circulating reports that have absolutely no foundation in truth. This and the struggle over the spoils of the now deRunct union Is all that there is left for the leaders of the Ter sioh stripe 60 do. Bluff the Western Federation outfit Is ss we'll known in all parts of tho country as it Is in Southeastern Alssks-and we believe it is-no one believes anything they promulgate anyway.

The Alaska Labor Union, which is getting to be power in the land, held smoker last Friday night at which the attendance was only limited by the size of the hall. There were good things 60 eat and good things 60 drink and smoke, violin solos by embyro artists and songs by srtiSts of great repute, moving pictures and stories that nov ed the crowd to tears. The members of thIs organization wear a button which bears the motto "Live and Let Live" which in the light of 20th cen tury intelllgenceis is noble motto for labor organization and indicates that Che members are pp-to-date in their ideas. The foundation stone on which this order Is built Is arbitration. Its officers aud members of this union are selected from the best of the em. ployees of Treadwell and any man may feel proud 60 belong. May the Alaska Labor Union continue to flourish and may ths principles that it represents never die.

How Will You Vote?

Election day is near at hand and It Is time that all who are Alaskans should make up their minds as Go which of the candidates for delegate to congress Is worthy of their support. There are Ehree candidates that are perhaps all worthy of some consideration. Corson, the republican nominee, stands on a platform made up of many promises among which is faithful support of home rule for Alaska. However, the branch of the republican party that gave him the nomination ia the small crowd of Alaskans who are really op- posed to home rule ia any form or de- gree. The support they are giving him in bis candidacy, weak and half-heart- ed though 1t may be, indicates that they are not afraid that he will, should he be elected, do anything very desper- ate along the lines of self government. This feature of the case aud She fact that Corson is not really an Alaskan, but maintains a residence iu the terri tory only a part of the time, have chilled the ardor of many lifelong republicans.
 Candidate James Wickershsm was formerly judge of She United States district court of the third division, and there can be DO question of his citizen ship. He Is also reputed to be man of more than ordinary ability. He comes into the struggle for political honor unsupported by any organiza- ton bat rather on his own motion and with a platform of bis own making. His platform is much more liberal in promises than any of the others. But Judge Wickersham was removed from office because of alleged croohednees which, while it may not have been proved, to the satisfaction of all, neither was 1t disproved; and we do not believe that Alaskans-who have DO great love for their csrpet-bag rulers will hoist into office by their own votes one of this kind.
 This brings us to the name of John Roman, the democratic nominee. Some one has called him the "Abe Lincoln" of Alaska. Tall and angular, bis ap- pearance Is anything but prepossess- ing. Plain, blunt Alaska miner, lack ing the polish of his lawyer oppon- ents, but no man has ever questioned bis honesty. What be has of worldly goods be has dug out of Alaska gravel beds by the industrious use of the pick and shovel. Even those who have been his opponents in industrial struggles say that John Roman is square.
 Now it appears to us that of the three candidates this man Roman has Che best right to ask for the support of the people of all parts of Alaska in his candidacy. And it appears further the people of this section can cast their votes for John Roman with per feet confidence that If be Is elected he will represent them in an honest and faithful manner, and will not be led away from his duty by any sect or clsss for no man has any strings on John Roman.

The Juneau Record quotes the Nome Nugget in defense of Capt. ConrRdi, of the Str. Ohio, whom the passengers that were on the ship condemn Rs a coward and shirk.

ia Fixed.

KANSAS CITY. May .e-Denver was
this morning selected as the city in which
next years general assembly of the Pres
byterian church in the United States OF
America is to be held. But one ballot was
taken for the two contesting cities. The
vote was so nearly unanimous that Seattle
withdrew and the Colorado capital finally
was selected with one vote.
A rule was passed providing that the
annual assembly shall always convene on
the third Thursday in May.
The invitation OF Denver to entertain tho
great gathering in 1903 was accompanied
with a promise OF bonus Of $4,000 offered
by that city to entertain the delegates and
guests.
In the report OF the committee on bills
and overturea. presented by DR.. William
Henry Roberts OF Philadelphia, its chair
man, Denver was favored. The claims OF
that city were presented strongly by Rev.
DR.. Robert F. Coyle of Denver, past mod
orator. and Rev. Dr. Baxter P. Fullerton

spoke in favor Of the Colorado capital

1t was claimed for Denver. aside from
the big bonus offered, that If the assembly
were held there it would cost much less
in the matter of railway fares thar the
long trip to the Pacific coast. burden that
must fail upon the churches and one that
the assembly was particularly anxious TO
tighten. Then also. IL was argued the gem
eral assembly had never yet convened In
the Rockies. and as next year would mark
the semi-centenndal anniversary Of the es-
tablishment OF the church in Colorado. 1t
was particularly desirous that the meeting
be held there. The First Presby terrain
church was organized in Colorado in
lSsa
Rev DR.. Mark A. Matthews Of Seattle
made an eloquent plea in behalf Of that
city, putting forth the grand climate of the
far northwest and the unusual beauty spots
that 1t presents.
When the voting began it was early ap-
parent that the great majority of the dele
gates favored Denver. No count OF the one
ballot taken was kept. but when 1t had
been concluded Rev. Matthews promptly
withdrew the name of Seattle and moved
that Denver be unanimously made the
selection. This was done amid scenes oi
much enthusiasm.
DR.. Edward Hart jerks of Omaha, made
a strong plea for an endowment for Omaha
seminary. He said the Roman Catholic
/ church regarded Omaha the center of the
I greatest home mission field in the United
States and was spending millions of dollars
