Illinois, the president-general, there
began what is expected to be
one of the stormiest meetings In the
history of the order Questions Of

ideas, radically different from those of
it's opponents. Naturally, interest cen

The Chinese, it seems, are not so
prompt in cutting off their queues as
might have been expected from the
immense righteousness with which
their queue-cutting program was her
aided to the world The North China
Herald says that 80 far there are
only a thousand queues the less in
Hongkong, and half that number the
less in Shanghai" Another observer
thinks the last state of the Celestial
with his picturesque queue not cut
off short but only MANNED beyond
recognition, is worse than the first.
In every part Of the world habit has
a strong hold on the masses, and it Is
not strange that China, pre-eminent-
ly land of habit, should be slow in
making a revolutionary change, even
if the change is favored by Cinnamon

THE HOG SERENE.

Consider for a moment the hcg
The hog is natures sedative. He y
the antithesis of excitement and th
anesthetic of worry. When frayed
nerves cry out in protest, and the
tired brain aches with surfelt Oh
care or pleasure, go then to the
humble pig sly and learn a lessor
of repose What does the farmer &c
when the hired man gives notice, OF
grasshoppers threaten to take the
upper eighty? He heads for the hog
lot; and, with his elbows on the TOP
rail and one foot in an intermediate
crack, he watches the swine at the1I
evening meal till his soul finds peace,
says the Kansas City Star. AS q
preventive of nervous prostration,
sanitarium, compared to a hog, is
riot and the seashore is an Insured
ton. His peaceful grunt is lullaby
to tortured ears, and his placid 90
livion of the flight Of time is a re
buke to the strenuous. AS he pokes
his nose into the moist earth-nevel
furiously, but with calm and quiet
and upturns the succulent roots that
he may add weight to his hams and
breadth to his spare ribs, to the ulti
mate profit of the butcher, we are re-
minded of the futility Of crying out
against the cate for which we are be
ing fattened and taught to bow the
head in humility. Reach over the
top of the fence and scratch his brlst
ly back with a raspy cob and his legs
unable to support his excess burden
of pleasure, crumble beneath him, ard
he sinks to sleep, singing song OF
contentment that rumbles forth from
cavernous depths. His humble limi
tations have not made the hog pes
simist On the contrary, he is your
true optimist.

Congress had ordered an investiga- tion of the lumber trust and after they get through with that investigation it will be time to commence on the beef trust and Standard oil again.
 Getting after these trusts recalls the farmer getting after the small boys who was stealing his fruit-he could lick them alright alright if he could only catch them with the goods on them. The trusts are wise enough never to be caught napping-They have too many ways of securing inside information.

OFFICIAL PAPER.
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE g, 1911.
DREDGING SEASON ON.

When the huge buckets were started revolving and lowered into the bank on otter creek by the Plen Dredging Company Wednesday, the dredging season for 1911 commenced. and before the final blast of the whistles to wind up the season is over We hope these machines will make such a record that the hundreds Of dredging propo. lions now idle will receive attention s, ley too can be added to the list 0. TO- ducers.
 Nome and the surrounding country is one vast dr"dging field and the ma chimes already installed can only scratch the surface year in and year out We need hundreds of these ma chimes to make an impression on na- lures vast storehouse here in the Nath, and the sooner people with money wake up to the fact that re- turns on their investment can be had the better it will be for the country.
 The Nugget through it's Mining and Dredging Edition last fan advertised the dredging possibilities of Seward Pen insula and edition No. which We will publish in october will continue the good work Me have already commence eel
 The same day the PIcin dredge com menced to dig. we received word of mammoth dredge No. l to be installed machine capable of going to a deptb Of sixty feet for the yellow metal. We feel like congratulating the Wonder Dredging Company for placing orders for dred"e of this kind. and if they can dredge to that depth. it will po q long ways toward solving the problem of deep paystreaks.
 Several other dredges are about ready to commence operations. On SoIomon flFer We should hear of them starring up any day. The Sioux dredpa n, Moss gulch should commence to make the gravel fly in few days now that colin Murray has arrived. The bis gasoline dredge of the Wild Goose company will commence as soon as the first fleet arrives SO We are safe m stating that within the next two weeks ten or fifteen drcdges will be digging away extracting many ounces or gold daily 10 swell the seasons out put for 1911

THE DECAY OF "oRAFTER."

The decision of a Chicago judge that "grafter' Is not a slanderous term marks the decay of a word which served a useful purpose in the popular vocabulary and which i, is sorrowful to see deteriorate.
 The first intImation of its weakened character was conveyed in Senator Plunkitrs dinerentiation between graft and honest graft" Its speedy loss of caste since then is revealed in the ruling of the Chicago justice that 'grafter does not necessarily imply dishonesty. If man tipped waiter, that waiter might be called a grafter"
 It will still be unwise to call him so on the Bowery But the fate of graft or" is typical of many words. though the usual process of change involves a fall from grace, as in the case of "vil- lain" and "churl" The rise Of graft err in the social scale leaves a void in popular speech. English is rich in terms for dishonesty. but has none which can exactly replace the expres- sive words which included in their designation all forms of moral obli- quity" from participation in bond syndicate proceeds down, to police "protection"
