feasible Plans for Alaska

One Of the best presentations Of
Alaska's case that has yet been made,
comes from Congressman William Sui
zer Of New York, who has Just return
ed from his seventh annual trip to the
north. During his long career as a
national law maker, this fastener has
made a specially of Alaskan affairs.
He advocates dividing the northern
district into three territories and giving
each one home rule, just as other
American territories have enjoyed
prior to statehood. AS for the coal
controversy, Mr.. Sulzer says it can be
settled easily by simply enforcing the
laws as they stand now. He advocates
the revoking Of their suspension and
the granting Of patents to all legitimate
thereby enabling develop
ment to go forward. Congressman
Sulzer, who is a democrat, pledges
himself to use his influence with his
party for an immediate recognition of
Alaska's rights.

Great Benefits from Panama caGai

Benefits to the Pacific Northwest to
follow the completion Of the Panama
Canal were told in Portland during the
past week by Bernard N. Baker, steam
ship owner. He says the new water
way will change the movement Of for
eign immigration from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Coast and this will mean the
more rapid development of the farm
lands of this section Of the country.
High freight rates from the east are ex-
pected to be thing of the past when
the canal is completed. Mr.. Baker
says shipments will be made at one
third of the present cost Of transporter
ton. Fruit, hops and other northwest
too, he says, will be sent to
eastern markets at very much less than
is now charged. He expects the cost
will be less than one-haH what is is now
by rail. On the whole, he says, the
completion OF this canal will mean
more to this coast than the people now
realize.

Local Land Offices

Because they are unable to procure
information from local land Offices as
to lands open to homestead entry in
this country, many farmers have gone
into Canada, where every facility is ex-
tended them to find public lands. AS
the law stands at present, it Is suppos-
ed to operate without favoritism; but
actual result is that unless person has
the definite information, he must en-
ploy a professional locator to help find
available land. The fee is substan-
tial one and one that many would-be
Ihomesteaders cannot afford. An effort
is now being made to make some ar
engagements whereby the land Offices
will be authorized to give assistance to
bona-fde locaters. Commercial organ
izations in Washington state are taking
up the matter.

Women Jurors

When women fill the jury rooms
The room will change, you bet!
There'll be a charge of soap and brooms
And scrubbing brushes wet.
Then mirrors bright will line the wall
And powder puffs galore.
With curling tongs and dressers tall
And gown hooks by the score.
But with it all we're more than sure
Well never live to see
A woman jury popular, for
They'll always disagree.

cussed the matter in an informal way.
And because the question is open to
such differences of opinion, Mr.
Thomas can surely not be blamed for
the stand he has taken. AS matter
of fact it may be necessary to take
the question to the courts for a de-
termination before there can be a set
tlement between the district clerks Of
flee and the county treasury.
Therefore, to impugn any dishonest
motives to Mr. Thomas at this time is
as decidedly unfair as it is ridiculous.
No man has ever served Shawnee
county in any position who has had
such general respect and confidence
placed in him by the people doing
business with his office as has Mr..
To suggest that he has
abused this confidence and respect is
doing him a grave wrong. Nothing re-
flecting on his honesty is at stake in
this controversy over these fees. It
merely revolves around the question
as to what fees he is entitled to and
what ones he is not.

THOMAS AND HIS FEES.

Apparently an effort is being made
to use the report of the special auditor,
who investigated the accounts of the
several county offices. to cast discredit
on Richard L. Thomas, clerk of the
district court. And this, notwithstand-
ing the fact that this special auditors
report was found to be so non-under-
standable by the county commissions
ers that they have thrown it into the
wastepaper basket, discharged the
special auditor, and intend to have an
investigation of the accounts of the
county offices made by accredited
special accountants so that nothing but
justice will be done to the various
county officers. Mr.. Thomas has been
SO long and so favorably known in To-
peka and Shawnee county that he
scarcely needs any defenders. But it
might be just as we'll to present an
analysis of the facts in the case in
view of the manner in which this spe-
cial auditors report is being handled.
On its face, this report shows that
the district clerks office owes the
county some $4,000. The intimation
is going the rounds that Mr.. Thomas
has endeavored to hold out such a
sum of money for his personal funds
that really belongs to the county This
is far from being the fact. Since be-
fore this special auditor got busy on
his gum-shoe rounds, Mr.. Thomas had
admitted that his office was indebted
to the county to the extent of some
$12, 900, but which he had been hold
ing until it could be legally deter
mined as to what was his legal share
of the fees which make up this sum.
This money is in the bank and has
always been there, and Mr.. Thomas is
in a position and ready to turn it over
to the county as soon as the matter of
his fees is settled. So in reality there
is only something of $4,000 in dispute
as between Mr.. Thomas and the
county, according to the officially dis
credited report of the special auditor.
There are two or three conflicting
statutes as to just what fees and how
large fees a clerk of a district court
is entitled. Some time ago. and be-
fore this special auditor made his
Sensational findings, Mr.. Thomas
asked one of the leading lawyers of
Shawnee county and the state for an
opinion concerning the fees to which
he was entitled and the fees in dis
pute between himself and the county.
This opinion, for which Mr.. Thomas
paid his own money, was against his
personal ideas. and also the opinions
of other good lawyers who had dis

Dinghi, a white-faced, ring tailed
monkey which was taken to the Wal
dorf-Astoria by two young women, said
to be the daughter of a prominent naval
officer, caused much excitement in the
hotel. When the women arrived, they
asked H. L. Stewart, assistant man
ager, to have the animal placed in the
basement, insisting the monkey was so
well trained it would be little trouble.
A porter took charge of Dinghi. ran
rope through the animals collar, and
tied the monkey to a trunk handle. His
owners sent down two embroidered
cushions to make Dinghi comfortable
The monkey did not seem to mind
his retreat much in the day, but was
heard scuttling around the basement
after dark. An employee went to as
sure the management the monkey was
tied safely, and afterward Dinghi was
forgotten.

at the coat of the pajamas, the monkey
