We want to see Alaska developed and her great and varied natural re- sources made 10 subserYe the welfare of aii the people, not the few: we do not wan, to see Alaska controlled by 4 feg corporations. remarks the ka- tella Herald and in doing So voices the hearts desire Of every true Alas kan. It is the only new country thaf k left the nation. but because larg' poition oi .he great v est was practical ly handed over tG few rallrOsGs. Alaska sbould not he made great na- tional preserve: neither should its development be hsmpered by foolisi lays and unreasonable regulations. Alaska's geographical location ard physical conditions de emand the invest. lnent of large capital, and we are moi uBmndiDl of tie bunaE fact that ir order to induce the iuvestnert of capital 1t must b. treated libetallJ : it can be assured that it's investment will receiyse justice and equity, and that ls ali that it sicyld ask.
 Alaska invites development: it is tte richest untouched portion q tbe United States and holds cut the great est promise.

The mills of the gods grind slowly, but at last the supreme court of the United States has lad down the broad principle that no corporation CT con- biraton operating in restraint of trade mas any standing in tine court when they atten pt to enforce contracts made in connection with such illegal agree meuts. The law is as old as the hills forbidding an agreement between in- iividuals to do an illegal act, but this is the first time it has been applied to a corporation.

We have wondered many times, yes a thousand times, what it is in the air Of Alaska that stimulate men and makes them all brain, all nerve, all generosity and all energy, says tho Mining News Record. We have won- dered what it is in these Environments which sets ambition on fire and impels 1t to build happier homes and higher mountains of wealth. We have won dered what it is in the invironment of Alaska which inspires her people to light the candle of hope and love and open the doors of human happiness. We cannot fathom this mystery, unless it is that a cog slipped and the creator located the heaven of here and now on this little spot which was afterwards named Alaska.
 Alaska stands on par with any other of the states and territories, and Is doing her share in working out the problems of human progress. Emerg- ing from desolation, ice and snow, she did not sit in sullen despair, but turned her face toward the morning and watched for the dawn of better day.
 Her pioneers have fought the battles of isolation and hardships and have won the victories of happiness and wealth. Rex Beach Tn his novel the ''The Spoilers, dedicated to his mother, paid Alaska very fine com pliment. It was: This is Gods free country, where man is man, no- thing more. ''Our land is new and pure, our faces are to the front. If you have been square so much the better; if not, leave behind the taints of artificial things and start again on the level-that's all. When once you have hit the trail on winter morning so sharp and clear that the air stings your lungs, and the whole white silent world glistens like jewel: yes and when..yon've seen the dog rompipg in harness till the sled runners ring. and the distant mountains ranges come out like beautiful carvings, so close you can reach them--well. there's something in it that brings you back that's all, no matter where you've lost yourself "

WROTE LETTER TO JUDGE
DID IT OF HER OWN ACCORD

Il knew daddy was in trouble and !
heard them talking at home about Judge
Anderson sending him away.
LAS I did not want my dear papa to
leave me. l thought I would write to you
and tell you how good he Is to me and
how we all love him. Maybe, I said to
myself. the judge will listen to the pray
er Of little girl for her daddy
Thus spoke little eight-year-old Oracle
Rolls to Justice Anderson. yesterday, in
answer to his inquiry as to why she
wrote a letter to him not to send away
her father, Warren Rolls, who had been
convicted in Criminal Court No. of lar
ceny and was to be sentenced yesterday. =
Trusted in Human Kindness.
The child, whose experience in letter
writing had been confined to the annual
request for good things from Santa Claus.
was emboldened by the success attending
her Christmas letters to write to the
judge in the hope that under the stern
judicial exterior she might find heart
as soft and kind as that of Santa Claus,
and that, as her desired Christmas dol
lies and things had come. she might also
get her request and have her daddy spar
ed to her.
"Oh, 1 got my cousin. fourteen years
Ol0, TO Tell me now 10 spell the dig WOfQS,
said little Oracle to the judge. land the
small words l could spell myself, for. you
see, go to school and am learning fast"
Warren Rolls, a steward on the revenue
cutter Cushing. and John Jackson, fire
man Of the cutter. were charged with
stealing kegs of paint from Fort Wash
ington and were indicted for larceny from
the United States. AT the trial the men
claimed that they had purchased the arti-
cles from others. AS they could not 10
cate the men their recent possession of
the property weighed against them, and
their conviction followed.
Justice Anderson, after receiving the
childs letter. asked Assistant United
States Attorney Perry to look into the
matter. For the convenience of both
judge and prosecutor Attorney James B.
Archer. jr., had the child brought to court
yesterday.
Did It Of Own Accord.
On the stand the child declared that the
idea of writing the letter was her own.
and no one had prompted her. The judge
was so impressed with the childs plead
ing that he determined to suspend SEN
tence on the father. and with a repri-
mand ne let him go home with little
Oracle.
Jackson was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for eighteen months.

DETAILED TO WHITE HOUSE.
Public Printer Makes Statement as
to Certain Employees.

Certain members of Congress recently
criticised President Roosevelt because
of the fact that number of employees in
the executive department were detailed
to the White House. including one man
from the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, who, it appears, served as a mes
senger for Mrs. Roosevelt.
According to the testimony of Public
Printer Donnelly before the sundr civil
subcommittee this week seven men are
detailed to the White House from the
government printing office.
What do these men do?' Representa- a.
tive Smith of Iowa asked Mr. Donnelly
Run a branch printing Officer"
Mr. Donnelly explained that they per-
formed clerical duties at the White mouse
in connection with the issuance of in
vitations to social functions. They also.
he said. carried messages between the
White House and the print shop.
In reply to a question by Mr. Smith
Mr.. DOnnelly asserted. much to the
amusement of the committee that the
men In question carried messages only
before they were printed, and that fol-
the time being they were TO all intents
and purposes White House employees
The practice, he said, had beer in vogue
for the past three or four years.
