Christensen would have proceeded. he
says. several months ago. but valuable
witnesses were in Washington before
The Ballinger-PinchOt investigating
committee and the matter was deferred
Tile department obtained first notice
of the Stracey deal in 1897. when there
was no coal land laws applicable TO
Alaska. Stacey went 10 London and
interested English capital in the deyei-
Opment plans and later the Engllsh
company assigned its lease 10 the Pa
cific Coal < Oil company, and then 10
Stracey.
1t is charged that Munday induced
the government TO pass the Alaska coal
land act in 1904. He is said TO have
made several trips 20 Washington and
secured the assistance of influential
friends i'm bringing about the enact
ment. With this law behind him, Stra-
cey, il is claimed, rushed torty-tWo or
his employees, some of whom were un-
able to speak the English language
into Alaska, and induced them 10 file
az sIOG each on the coal claims.
"'This was so raw" said Mr.. Cnfls-
tensOn, that the claims were never
pushed ami Stacey came to Seattle ana
permitted Forbes friends TO proceed
with the filings.

call came from Atlantic telling Mr..
Hallock that he would find his car down
there. He replied that his car was in
barn where he had put it the night be
fore, They told him to go and look and
he would find that it was gone. When
he went to the barn the car was gone
but he found note that had been left
saying they were going to the Missouri
where they would run it into the river.
Sheriff Crees and his party tracked
them TO Atlantic and found the car out
near the cemetery where it had gone
wrong and finding they could not man
age it, probably telephoned from the
station and took the early train for parts
unknown 1t is likely they were what
is called joy riders" and out for good
time not caring so much for the car as
the pleasure in its use. Had they been
tough criminals they would not have
advised the owner where he could find
it but would more likely have become
cnraged and broke it TO pieces when it
wouldn't go 1t behooves every owner
of II car to have it definitely marked in
one or more secret places; otherwise it
would be difficult thing to prove prop
erty should it he stolen.

The truth is, Mr.. Perry has form
ulated a great argument. He has
had great advantages in his sixty
years fight on the powers of graft
in New York City. He has, there
fore, something to say in his Sam
son Aroused" lecture that is worth
any mans attention.
1t is a scholarly discussion of GER
tain economic and social evils. 1t
is not mere agitation. Not mere rail-
ing. 1t is a sane, sensible study with
suggestive remedies. Perry throws
real light on the subject treated
Standing sauarely on the firing
line, he gees into the discussion with
zest. Conscious of the Importance of
the theme, he has weighed every ut
terance. Fearless and full Of convic-
ton, he spares none.
Samson Aroused" is not mix
ture of mush and melody. 1t is a
real force. Our people can look for
ward to an intellectual treat when
Perry comes to our Chautauqua this
season.

Truly enough, many flower rs
born to blush unseen and waste Its
sweetness on the desert air. There
is many a fine thing in the woSld
that never gets much recognition.
But when such characters as Theo-
dore Roosevelt, William j. Bryan,
Robert NJ LaFollette and Samuel
Gompers take the pains to discuss
any mans popular lecture, that man
has been fully recognized.
And that is just what these men
did in the case of Edward Russell

appeal to them that called forth their
favorable comments
