The National Editorial Association
has been making similar trips for -
years. Many people along have gone
on a dozen or more OF these excur-
sions. and once started can see how
strong the desire is to continue and
go each successive year.
With a crowd like this there 10
something doing all the time. We have
been in the boat three Sundays and
each Sunday we have had morning
and evening services. We have cou-
pie Of preachers along and several
newspaper men and women who are
equal to most preachers. The services
have been good and interesting.
The days have been spent prin-
cipally on deck watching the beautiful
scenery along the shore. and basking
in the sunshine when 1t has favored
us with its rays. We have the usual
number OF Bridge fiends along who
play all day long from early morning
till late at night. These are ladies OF

room we have the usual devotees Of
the other great American card game
who play from morning to morning
and they are gentlemen. OF course.
The evenings have been made
merry by many social gatherings and
impromptu entertainments. First We
had a mock court with a breach Of

the people is over home rule" and
the lingo politician has a lot to say
about Alaskans being in the same

But after hearing a good deal of
both sides of it l am of the opinion
that Alaska Is about as well managed
and the government about as fair as
would be possible under the circum-

The lingo" is always crying about
the big interests" but my opinion Is
that the big interests" are not get

without them Alaska would be moth

of us have not been on land a single

pretty well acquainted with the old

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE

The United States Circuit Court for

awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
BY the terms of the decree. 1t is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption OF said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago. and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant. the
Carter Medicine Company. itself. from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-

of the tribunal which rendered it. No
