We have been building monuments
to those who could massacre the most.
In the cathedrals Of Europe and In
the parks of America you will find ten
monuments to those who have de-
stroyed their kind to every one OF
those who have brought the world
light and life; but a better day is
dawning. Seven years ago, writes
Charles L. Goodell. D. D., in the HON.
iletic Review, when France made up
its list of immortals, Napoleon, the
greatest Of butchers, headed the list,
but last year 1t made another roll Of
its noble men, and Pasteur, the savior
of human life. stood first. There is an
other Book which has the list Of Gods
immortals, and above that list 1t Is
written, They that be wise shall
shine as the armament and they that
turn many to righteousness as the
stars forever and ever"

good men have hard luck. and bad
times overtake the best. But on the

Alaska Officials
On Anxious Seat

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Judge
Reed, of the Third Alaska division,
is under serious charges, and his re-
moval by order of the president is
one of the strong possibilities of the
near future.
Complaint was made to the presl-
dent some time ago that Judge Reed
had appointed his brother-in-law re-
ceiver of the Alaska Central railroad
at a salary Of $500 a month, a
compensation which is regarded by the
department OF justice as exorbitant
and smacking OF graft.
This and other charges against the
judge have caused Attorney General
Bonaparte to call upon him for an ex-
PLANTATION, and both the attorney gen
eral and President Roosevelt are in an
unpleasant frame of mind about the
subject. The question was discussed
at meeting of the cabinet today as
well as other matters connected with
the judiciary in Alaska.
Judge Gunnison, of the First divi-
sion. was reappointed only after q
good deal of opposition. and the presi-
dent has no expectation that the senate

Juneau bar. is soon to appear in Wash
ington, and that senators will be asked
to prevent Judge Gunnison'S cOnfir-
nation.
The impression prevails that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will permit the APP

Powell. at Nome, to go over until the
Taft administration. That Marsha
Powell has made a good record in Of

"ELECTRA" TO BE
GIVEN TONIGHT

DRESDEN. Jan. 22.-Dresden is to-
day the center Of attraction for all mu-
steal Europe owing to the fact that its
famous opera house will tonight be the
schne of the first performance of
Electra" The king of SaXOny, his
family and entire court will be pres
ent and Strauss. the composer, will be
given a place in the royal box. Man
ayers of nearly all of the great opera
houses of Europe are here. Cosima
Wagner and her SON. Siegfried will oc-
oupy box. Scores of music-lovln
Americans have engaged seats.
The scenery of the new opera house
has been prepared on magnificent
scale and will startle and please the
NEST blase opera gOers. All Of the
costumes and architecture are true to
that heroic period in which the story
of the opera is laid.
1t is stated that in Electra as in
"Salome," there is not single pas
sage that might properly be called a
popular air. For this reason Electra"
will never be played on hand organs
or Whistled in the street.
The orchestra tonight consists of
1870 pieces. and every player is an ar
fist. This orchestra breaks all records
as being the largest ever heard in
grand opera.
