The policy game was in the shake

prominent men of our race in bust
ness allow it written in their places,
and the supposed best sisters of the
churches play it. Our clergymen are
the towards, who sin by silence,
when they should lift their voice
against it. The New York Age" and
THE Advocate" leading Negro news
papers have recently voiced the senti-
ment of the better element, who dis
approve of corrupt pr, ctices. Should
the clergy remain silent? 1t destroys
companionship, integrity, and indus

honesty, and idleness. We hope to
see the time when the possession Of
a policy slip will insure its holder

WITNESS A METEOR
ON CREEK

On Tuesday morning about $50
several people in the city saw a
shaft OF fire hurled through the
clusion that il was a meteor. Later
developments prove that they were
right in their surmise. for the same
phenomenon was plainly seen and
commented on on the creeks. Dur
ing that morning and at the same
hour Walter Fisher and another gen
tleman We're standing near the dump
of the Fisher workings on the Mig
gerhead association. and Mr.. Fisher
seeing the shaft coming called the
attention of his companion to it. 1t
seemed to be but little higher than
the gin pole when it passed over
them. and after being enveloped in
the smoke from the plant was lost
to view The shaft is described as
being about two feet long and having
the shape of a pear. The whole shaft
was splitting sparks. while the head
or larger end was Of a white heat.
Soon after the shaft disappeared
there was a roar like the booming Of
a cannon. evidently when it came in
contact with the hill on the other
side of the workings.
Later on the same day the report
came from Little EldoradO that a
shaft of metal was found over there
by one of the men en- the creek.
1t is reported to be u to Is feet
long If this was the case the me
teOrite must have split in transit and
dropped this piece there. the smaller
and remaining piece continuing on its
journey until it struck the bluffs on
the opposite side of the Chatanika.
1t is the intention Of the gentleman
who was with Mr.. Fisher at the
time to make a hunt for the piece
at his first opportunity as he thinks
he can go to the place where 1t
struck without much trouble.

WILL resign If BELL rings

HARTFORD, Conn. June 26.-The
mystery of why the great clock IN
the tower of the First Congregations
al church at Suffield Center has
not been striking for four weeks has
been solved. The Rev. Daniel X.
Kennedy, Jr., the pastor, admitted
he stopped the clock because it kept
his babies awake at night, and he
threatens to resign if anybody fixes
the big bell on it.
The clock was presented to the
church several years ago by Mrs.
Cornelia Pomeroy Newton as men,
orial to her parents. 1t was the
only public clock in Suffield Center,
and the townspeople were fond OF
it.
Four weeks ago it suddenly be-
came silent. A man was sent to
fix it, and he found that the striking
apparatus had been tempered with.
1t was adjusted. But it didn't strike
that night. Again came a protest,
and some of the residents contributed
fund to have it fixed again.
The explanation came from Ken
nedy. Thereat some of the church
members waxed wroth, and com
mittee has been chosen to have the
clock repaired. Kennedy declares he
will resign at the first sound of
the bell.

THE ALASKA SITUATION As SEEN
BY THE EDITOR Of DENVER NEWS

II Alaska had a chance To- vote on
her allegiance. she would set up in
business for herself. or annex her
self to Canada tomorrow She might
repent of it afterward but she would
take the plunge. And who. locking
the situation fairly in the face. could
blame her?
The crying need in Alaskan de
velopment is power. Alaska is not
an agricultural country She can
never become distinctly such She
will always be chiefly valuable for
her mines. her forests. and her
fisheries: and especially for her
mines Probably less than quarter
of her known gold deposits are
worked; for lack OF cheap power: ;
mense copper deposits are not work
ed at all
The power is there. underfoot.
Alaska has immense deposits OF
coal; and some of it is the best
coal that borders the Pacific ocean.
But Alaska is not allowed to use
her coal She is not allowed 10
dig pound of it. She imports
inferior coal from British Columbia
20 run her stamp mills. She cuts
cordwood to stoke the engines on
one of her dinky railroads, and pays
our beneficent government at Wash
ington 80 cents per cord for the
privilege That railroad is for part
of its course literally laid over coal
beds: but if the fireman picked up
a lump of coal to throw at ptarmi-
gan. he would be adjudged guilty of
crime against the sacred gospel OF
conservation. One stamp mill in
the interior CT Alaska pays $50 per
ton for it's coal, the cheap, inferior
stuff from British Columbia; while
across the gulch better grade OF
coal shows on the very surface,
