The appointment of Walter E. Clark to the goveruorship of Alaska had double purpose aud meaning. Atleast so we are given to understand. He was not only commissioned to perform the ordinary functions of the honored po- sition, but his was mission of peace making as we'll. His genius was to ap- supply the balm to heal the open wounds and the "stickum" to bind to- gether the factions-mostly political in this discontented district. His re- cent address before a gathering of rep resentatire citizens shows that he is diligently going about the business for which he was sent. In the main the people are eager for his words of wis dom and are ready to take the truths into their hearts and ponder them. Only in one case that has come to our attention has the meaning of his words been twisted into an attack upon the character and reputation of citizen who holds au honored position to which he was elevated by the votes of his fellows.

Now that the libel cases are all over, and the demands of justice are satis' fled, we are still wondering what it was that impelled the late grand jury to plunge the newspaper fellows of South, eastern Alaska into the slough of trouble and expense by the bringing of those indictments. Was it because violations of the law were so scarce in this frigid atmosphere that, i'll order to do and be doing, the only meanuess and sin which could be found was in the singers of ink? Did the press es. pecially need purification?
 There is no doubt that editors of newspapers do many things which they ought not to do, and leave undone many things which they ought to do, but whatever meanness there is in their hearts comes out in printed page that all the world may know it. The mean things they say are not said in whis- per nor behind a door. And then there are SOLuS SOOu NuAhSS IhoI HLaS " said about them. They boom the coun- try and stand up for whatever is for the good of the people many times when it costs them money and friends to do so.
 And then no one can accuse printer of being in the business for the money there is in it. They never get rich. In fact, the same amount of energy eX- Yeuded in any other lawful pursuit would almost certainly bring fame and fortune.
 So it is, after years of patient strug- gle, enduring care and suffering, kicks aud cuffs, and now and then taking licking, the sNvet disposition becomes soured and the editor grabs pen and says some man is rascal. Then the graud jury has another serious case on hand. We have only one grain of re- sentiment which prompts us to hope that, should any member of that grand jury ever fall into evil ways and get caught, his sentence may be to run newspaper for one year without making mistake.

The first banquet of the Douglas Island Mems club was held last Friday evening, with Gov. Clark as guest of honor. 1t was attended by many prom inent citizens of Douglas and Tread we'll, who report the occasion very pleasant one. The banquet was served by members of the Ladies League and both the cuisine and the service were all that could be asked. Short speeches were made by members of the club and others, some good singing was listened to, and Gov. Clark delivered an address which was given careful hearing. The subject matter of the address was such as should interest all good citizens, and no doubt many more would have taken advantage of the opportunity to hear it had it been generally known that the attendance was not limited to the banqueters.

SMALL CUSTOMS HOUSES

Washington, d. G., Aug. 3.-Some Of
the most expensive luxuries, comparative
~ speaking, maintained by Uncle Sam,
are small customs houses, according to
figures just made public. Scattered
about the country are about 100 GUS
toms stations. Through them the gov
eminent collects The tariff on imported
goods and various assessments on the
merchandise. A large majority Of the
customs houses are extremely profitable,
and they garner nearly one third Of the
money spent by billion dollar congresses.
Customs receipts at Port Jefferson,
New York, were so small, being moth
ing at all, that collector Arthur II. Ran.
dali sought to surrender the post. For
five years he struggled to surrender the
shacloles Of the Office. The treasury dc.
partment would fain grant him freedom
but could find nobody to take the place.
The department relented short time
ago, gave Randall freedom, closed the
Office and transferred the business, if
there should be any, to New York
There are other ports where no diff

If there is little or no husiness. Some
Of these where the receipts aggregated

Tab Is kept by the government on

collecting the revenue. Annapolis had
customs receipts OF $500 last year and
tae cost to the government Of collecting
each dollar was s3094l. There was con-
siderable vessel business at Alexandria,
Va, but the total customs receipts
amounted to only $40 and On that basis
the cost Of collection o. each dollar
was si224o. The amount paid for each
dollar collected at some other points

In the large ports the expense to tae
government in collection Of dollar
ranges from a little over two cents to|

cost per dollar was p cents and the az

recommended that collectors be abol-
