Attorney General Nickersham's re-

this sentence:
He CGlavis) might have added he

be brought before October, 1908, to
escape the bar Of the statute Of lin

May or April took the Alaska cases
up with United States Attorney Todd

me saying he had laid the matter
before the department of justice. as
there was some doubt in his mind
whether he should lay the cases be-
fore the grand jury in Seattle. where
the claimants lived, or in Alaska.
where the claims were located.

have suggested to the News that tn.

brary. The News does not know just
what steps would be necessary TO oh.

the suggestion made to the News was
to write to the proper persons and oh.
tain the necessary information, bring
the matter to the attention Of the citi.
zens Of our town and let them take
such action as they deem best. II there
are persons in the city who know Just

SOCIALISM FOR
THE PEOPLE

My idea Of socialism is TO create n
form Of government that will be by
the people and for the people. Really
concerning all. Not for the capitalist
alone, whose bribery and defraud can
set him free of any crime he may com.
nit. While the considered ''3rd class"
must serve severe penalties for some.
thing not quite a crime. This wicked
injustice is practiced for a gift of
money. IL must pass without contra.
diction that politics has become a sort
OF ~disreputable business Mt which men
work for the I" Doodle" there is in IL.
Men are really no absorbed In money
getting they are making the govern.
ment an embezzlement power" We
should have some form of government
different from any monarchal system,
not only in mere political forms but in
the essentials of human development.
Has humanity ever had anything of
this kinda OF course not. That is WHY
democrncies and republics have always
had immunities of troubles like the
Inonarchies. At the foundation of
things humanity has invariably persisted
IN development under distorted concep.
tions of duty. Our most recent illus.
t~rations Of troubles is the increased
cost of u indispensable needs oi life
and our profound ignorance about the
causes producing that fact. II should be
remembered that human life il not n
question Of dollars we may pay or re-.
reive for the needs of the body and
mind to sustain life. Under the present
government most of the people 5 lives
ar" n question of the quantities and
qualities of the article they may consume
and the quality and quantity Of mus.
Gle and nerve exertions we 90 through
day by day, Add then to all that the
senselessness of that daily life forced
upon us. Modern insanity Of wealth
accumulations IN what intensifes the
rank absurdity Of all human problems.
II seems that civilization has never
taught the people how to look at hu.
man life and government as il should.
II may seem a crazy dream to some
TO amagine conditions like these, in
which the poor shall not be oppressed
the powerful a bloody demorseless un
Just prosecutor Of the helpless and in
which no one would have a thought ex.
cept to help Others by adding to their
comfort. knowledge and happiness in
some way. There should be no power.
~, no person So low as To want wealth
when wealth means needs of other
people. earnestly appeal to the PEG
pie for a little serious thought on this
subject. With the combined effort Of
all, with such feeling and confidence.
we could provide ways and means TO
obtain fair and impartial laws.
