Ala ska Coal.
Gardner Reporter Journals

Gardner Reporter Journal)
In CordoVa. Alaska. recently a crowd
of citizens dumped a cargo of Cam
adam coal into the harbor. but in
stead of being looked upon as 4 patri
otic deed, as the action of the Boston
tea party was, it is considered a riot
But the object was to bring about
reform as the tea party was. Alaska
has to buy Canadian coal or some
other that has been brought long
distance and is expensive. While it
has an ample supply in its own ter
ritory which cannot be had owing to
the delay of Congress in authorizing
some plan for opening the mines. The
government owns the land and rightly
intends to have a share in the profit
in them, but while it is waiting to de-
wise some plan of accomplishing the
end the people Of the territory are
paying high for their fuel, and are
indignant at the delay in getting their
own supplies of it into use. The riot
Gus acts are not justified by law, hut
they may awaken Congress to the need
of getting busy and providing for the
opening OF the Alaska mines, for II is
an outrage on the people to have to
import coal from long distances, when
they might as we'll be getting it in
their own territory.

Editor S Letter Box
To Summer Visitors.

Edltor kennebec Journal:
In pehaH of the Interdomnational
commission of Maine allow ne to call
the attention of your readers 10 the
important services which summer
visitors can render to the commum-
ties IN which they spend their Yaca-
tons. To the local churches along
our coast and on our lakes the sum-
mer is trying time at best. There is
much more work to be done; other
standards of living are brought in;
and If with this extra work and new
standards of living there are also
brought other religious services, the
total result is to weaken rather than
strengthen the religious life and work
ri THESE communities. Accordingly.
the Observation-Disclosures Commission
earnestly requests our summer visitors
Wherever possible, to cooperate with
the churches already established in
stead OF maintaining services of their
own. II the summer visitors will
communicate with Professor A. w.
Anthony, Lewiston, Maine, secretary of
the commission. or with the pastors
OF the local churches. every possible
effort will be male to secure friends of
the summer visitors or other accept
able ministers to occupy these pulpits
for considerable portion of the
time; and. so far as possible. modifi-
cations of the church service will be
made in accordance with the prefer
ence of the summer visitors. In this
way. by cooperation with the local
ehafehes our summer visitors can
render substantial service to the
communities which they visit The
hterdenominationai Commission be-
ifeVes that the sense of spiritual unity
which will thus be developed between
permanent residents and transient
visitors will more than compensate for
any sacrifice or preference on the part
of the visitors.
Sincerely yours

Fool LEGISLATION,

CPiseataquis Observer
A wise man has recently said there
is no reason why a reformer should
be fool but the instances ntultiply
where there are narrow escapes. To
illustrate: A constitutional amend
ment for state wide prohibition was
defeated in Florida. whereupon the
state senate passed a bill which pro-
hibits the sale of liquor to hahitual
drunkards, requires saloons to close
at o'clock and not to open until :
O'Clock the following morning. ahol-
ishes all screens and forbids music or
games in saloons. 1t further provides
that not more than one-quarter OF a
pint of any intoxieant shall be sold
TO a customer. which quantity must
he in a sealed package.
AS such law would be violated
more than strict prohibition 1t will
safely pass as fool legislation.

Settlement workers have instituted
for the tenement youngsters Of the
gloomy streets of the slums of New
York new series of outdoor dances,
that seem to be bringing appreciate
light into the lives of these children of

the boys and girls of the poorer quar-
tiers are taking part in their native
dances, or eagerly going through
tableaux representing historic scenes
of this country. The movement seems
