s SUBSCRIPTION RATES
TO BRIRG THE LAW INTO CONTEMPT

That the ordinance requiring horses and cattle to be kept of the streets and GU, of premises other than of the own CTS Is a good one and meant to be en- forced Is not open to question. But that It Is not intended to be employed to harass good citizens is equally clear. The intent of the ordinance is to stop the CUSTOM of allowing cattle to run st large.
 h the spring goat was brought to this town and for weeks had the free dom of the city, loaied in what doorway 1t pleased, left its droppings without concern as 10 whom the same might offend and for weeks was treated with good natured tolerance. Finally it out wore it's welcome. Then protest fol- lowed protest for still other weeks while the goat still ranged at large. Be was formally arrested and as often broke from his prison and ranged the streets until again taken up, This pro csedure was finally brought to a con clusion by shipping the animal back vhenca it cane --the whole matter be- ing a testimony to the sanity and tOier- auce of the people of Skagway.
 It is far cry from this recital to that Of the arrest Of a good citizen, one who has been identified with the city from the beginning, distinguished for good works and hard and always inde- pendent struggle for livelihood against the rigOrs of the uorthland-the public arrest, the imposition of a fine upon, the taking into the town treasury Of the hard earned dollars of such citi- zen because her horse, released from her premises by trespassers, walked around a sparsely inhabited block.
 Where the instrument of the law is employed against good citizen, ,one who respects and tries to ful6ll the letter and spirit of the law, and especially where 1t is used to bring humiliation to woman, awakens the instant pros test of every ordinary MAN. Such employment of the law is certain to bring it into contempt.

NOTE AND COMMENT OF
 NORTHERN NEWSPAPERS

It doesn't speak very well for the officers of the United States army when one of the biggest of the big is forced to retire because he Is unable to under go the tests which are regularly given to the men ard which are considered nothing unusual be them. Whon 1t comes right down to the truth of the matter there is too much dissipation amorg tbe officers Of both army and navy. There is a little too much in- clinatlon among them to set them selves up as despots 10 owhOm every body must bow and accord privileges which are not allowed to other free born American citizens. There is too much high life and low suobbery among our braided patriots, and the high life units them for the work which should be done by them Nome Pioneer Press.

AS BETWEEN BREVITY AND VERBOSITY

Mr. Taft and Mir. Bryan, used, be- tween them, approximately lS,OOO words ln which to express due appre- citation of the honor conferred upon them by the respective conventions, and to assure their political followers that, as candidates, they were iu hearty accord with the principles embodied in their respective party platforms, says ap exchange. Neither Mir. Taft nor Mr. Bryan used more words than he thought expedient. Both candidates believed that it was essential to make the speech of acceptance an argument atlve discourse upon the issues of the campaign. Both evidently went upon the theory that DO opportunity was co be lost In which persuasion may inhu- snce the casting of vote.
 It may be that this policy is as good as any other; and perhaps, it is better than any other. It appears tO be the result of changing fashion; and of the later style it may be hypercriticAl to complain, But that 8 simpler and hrIaFar styIa has baen affected undar conditions of strenuous import, may be noted with interest.

Mir. Roosevelt will leave office secure in the hearts of bis countrymen. Tn, dexterity and sincerity with which he avoided a reuomination for himself, snd secured it for believer in bis policies, have solidIRed the affection and the con- 6dence of mankind. Turned aside by none of the Aattering and plausible ar. gumen,s which were daily Showeret upon him, be gave up power, kept his word, and set high example. Scarcely was Mr. Taft nominated when the president gave another example of h's quality by springiDg enthusiastically to the aid of Heney, Spreckels, and their friends in San Francisco, at time when the current had set strongly iu the opposite direction. A few days more, and, in bis praise of Cleveland, Mir. Roosevelt once again struck with hearty truthiulness those notes which celebrate earnestness and the truth. He has been a good police commis' sioner, good governor, good prest- dent, and a good man. Twenty years of active life may still be his.

THE ROAD TO RAINY HOLLOW

The formal acceptance from the con- tractors and by the Alaska road com mission of the completed road from Hindustucki to Wells is to be made the occasion of great celebration by the people of Ralnes. And certainly the occasion is fit. The completion of this section of road means to Haines an ay. enue for easy and natural traffic from her gates to and through a country rich in possibilities for trade as it is rich in mineral and timber and other products. This road is the res ponse of the Alaska road commission to the demand of these possibilities, to the call of the people of Haines-voiced 1t is understood, through the Arctic Bro,herhood-ior assistance in effect ing the release of these resources. The work was undertaken and is about to be completed and certainly the time is opyortune in which to give expression to the satisfaction which the people down thas way feel. The road means much to the whole people of southeastern Alaska and especially to the peOpe of Haines who will derive the direct and immediate benefit.

DIET FOR SLEEPLEssNESs.

DR.. William Stevens says that In
somnia Is not disease itself, but the
effect Of an unhealthy condition of
body or mind. When the cause is re-
moved the insomnia may be expected to
disappear.
Every physician has had stubborn
cases of 1t which would not yield to any
treatment and for which change OF
air or of scene became necessary. But
such cases as these should not occur
and do occur only when the sufferer has
neglected precautions that should have
been taken when the trouble first made
itself manifest.
Insomnia results from causes which
can he removed IL attended to in season
The most common cause is found In the
digestive organ, either unsuitable food
causing insomnia as feature of indi-
gestion. or insufficient food, causing the
patient to be kept awake by hunger.
There are few things which can be
universally recommended as diet for
sleeplessness, since what will agree
with one man will disagree with an
other. But two things that may almost
always be recommended are lettuce and
celery.-London Globe.
