FREDDIE FINDS A
 MARES NEST

A bit Cf farce comedy was injected into the council meeting on Friday night with the reading of the follow ing letter from the erudite pen of IEc Times editor:
 Fairbanks. Alaska Oct 6. 1911.
 Sirs-In behalf of the printing shops in the town of Fairbanks. the Times respectfully protests against the recent action ot the city council men in placing a contract for city printing with an establishment out side the city. The printing plants within the city turn out as good work and do it as cheaply as any plant in the district. and the plants within the city. which pay taxes toward the support of the city government, deserve the support of the city gov. ernment. The council has appealed tD the loyalty of the citizens in the ing upon the taxpayers to stand by one another. For the same council men to take the money of the tax payers and spend it with an estab- lihment outside the taXhelt. disCrim- mating against equally good estab- lishmentS which pay taxes to the city. is a sorry exhibition of loyalty to the city and it's business interests.
 Respectfully yours. The Times.

 The City Council. Fairbanks. Alas ka.

Very distinctly his grievance states: "The printing es- lablishmenrs within the city turn out just as good work" An.

 This phrase of the communication struck Mayyr Gordon as being fun ny for he immediately stated that when the city government wanted t1 spread this appeal before the public that the aforesaid establish mentS within the city, "loyally" ol- cf ed their columns at so much per. while the Citizen voluntarily took up the fight and Waged a campaign to get the tax money.

Sounds like a smart slap on the wrist But Coun- cilman Driscoll thought it very hu- mo,ous Said he: the Citizen pays as much voluntarily for fire and water protection as either of the city plant contributed in taxes Same speaker volunteered the infor- nation that Mr Caskey, for the Citizen. was willing to contribute more if the city of Fairbanks thought he should justly do so, And then il developed that the councilmanic body was of the same opinion.
 It did not develop al the meeting. however. that the plant of the Fair banks Times had to be threatened by the city attorney before the taxes on the same were paid. This is one matter which Mr Frederick Heilig' S "loyalty" would keep inViOlate.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26. - Harry x. Atwood, the American aviator. who concluded his record breaking aero plane flight from St Louis to this city yesterday. planned to leave to- day fo" Bost,n by train The bird man has given up his intention of flying today from Governors Isl and to Sheepshead Bay.
 My aeroplane was not protected from the rain last night" said At wood, and l find that the engine is rain soaked. Besides, this fog is so thick that it would be dangerous to fly over the harbor, so l have de cided to start at once for Boston by train"
 Atwood, during the course of his epochal journey, drove his aerOplane practically over every geographical formation that obtains on the Amer ican continent. He flew against winds that blew with such velocity that his craft almost stood still He scudded over the country side with winds that drove his aeroplane so fast that he travelled at the rate of l2O miles an hour.
 He flew in sunshine. in rainstorms and with thunder and lightning playing around his frail vehicle of laths and canvas. He did these things. flying continuously day af- ter day. Yet in spite of the fact that his machine began to show signs of the terrific strain only when he landed at Castleton. near Albany. Cn Wednes sday, his individual pluck and perseverance, backed by his marvellous skill as pilot of air craft. enabled him to finish the re- markable journey with not an essen tial part of his craft changed.
 Automobile drivers and railroad locomotive engineers will tell you that they scarcely ever heard of a self-propelled vehicle that has tray eled day after day for this distance without the substitution cf some very important part.
 During this journey Atwood has scarcely eyer slept more than four hours during night. More often he slept only two or three. One of his mechanics, Frank Lawson, succumb ed to the hardships on Thursday and was obliged to take to his bed.
 Atwood today said that he may re- tire from aviation. and his projected coast to coast trip may never be made
 Tt is too risky" said the aviator Man after man has made new rec ords in aviation of late only to drop suddenly to death. I have been much more careful than many bird men, but l feel that if l stay in the clouds too long shall some day

had not known of this ugly disposi-
ton. When he went home to dinner
he questioned his wife On the subject
and found an explanation for it all in
the temperament of the teacher This
was a serious matter with them
much more than anything else in the
world. 1t was the making or running
Of life. Would they be able to
make the teacher understand that
they wished to cooperate with her in
an honest endeavor to control their
boy. Would she not misconstrue
their efforts, and think they were
not in sympathy with her-that they
did not understand her troubles and
that parents were always fools about
their children anyway. But Phelps
papa was no fool. He understood her
weakness. He knew she was an un-
educated girl with little experience
and no conception of human nature.
1t was therefore with many misgiv-
ings that he went to see the teacher
about it. They sat for an hour talk
ing it over The first three-Quarters
of that time he spent in strategy
playing for position, trying to get
into her way of thinking so as not to
offend her, so that he might be able
to show her the right way. He tried
to get her away from the thought
that he was against her, but through
it all he was on the defensive. So
strong was this animal instinct in her
she could not think of anything else.
She could not understand a nature
that was sufficiently unselhsh not to
want to sacrifice the interest of 9th
ers for its own benefit.

The AK For Billiard.

Mayor Billiard of Topeka, this
week, crowned a series of political
mistakes by announcing himself as
a candidate for governor of Kan
sas on a re submission ticket, and
further pretends to be seeking the
nomination at the hands of the
Democratic party. Now if it had
been any other state, or any other
party in question, the matter
would hardly have provoked the
comment of the press, but to see a
man come out in Kansas, the most
progressive state in the Union, fill
ed with the most intelligent people
in the country, and ask for such
nomination at the hands of the
Democrats, is the heighth of folly.
The Democrats last year, it is true,
did not make the proper effort to
overcome the brewery stories
which emanated from the republi-
can headquarters, and it is posi-
BILE that Billiard believes that they
helped the party. 1t is possible
that they did, but if such vas the
case, the aid came, because the
people who voted the ticket had
knowledge of the falsity of the
warns. Now most any man
will stand for a little deviation
from his own ideas and help the
party when the proper time comes
but there will be mighty few dem
ocrats, even the dyed-in-the-w
democrats, who will stand for Bill
lard and his re-submission plat
form.
George Hodges, who was can
didate last gear will probably be
in the race. The mooted charge
that the Democrats monkeyed
with the republican ballot will
probably be settled this year,
when the Democrats will have the
of stand pat and progressive poll
tics to decide. Hodges is a clean
man, a progressive, and against
the brewey interests, while Billiard
represents the Manufacturers and
Business Mems Association, with
unlimited funds to carry on a cam
paign. it is probably very fortu-
for Kansas, that the state doesn't
include many of the kind of bust
ness men and manufacturers who
belong to this association. Wei
believe Billiard will get little real
support in the state in general. |
and still less IN this section of the |
country.

LAWYERs AND LAwMAKING.

It HE KANSAS CITY STAR thinks that the
n lawyers-members of the Bar-have too
much to do with the making of laws. They have
"cneh," for example in the Missouri Legislature
says The Star, as every member of the judiciary
and criminal Jurisprudence committees of the
Missouri House of Representatives is lawyer
No biz for any kind of reform affecting the courts
can come before the Missouri House OF Represen-
tatives unless it has the approval of one or the
other of these committees of lawyers.
One would suppose, adds The Star that farmers
bankers merchants and people in general had no
interest in the courts. And it must be confessed
that their chief interest in the courts is to keep
out Of them. The Star continues that the lawyers
dominate Congress- The proposed Democratic
Committee on Ways and Means is to be made up
Of all lawyers but one. Some time ago The Jour
nal pointed out that the lawyers completely and
overwhelmingly dominate Congress, although it is
different in some other parliamentary bodies, the
English House of Commons for instance
But would things be different in the Legisla-
lures if the number of lawyers we're decreased? d?
Here in Delaware for long time, there we're
practically no lawyers in our Legislature There
are never more than few of them In fact il has
been often urged that lawyers in the State
Legislature would be a benefit as the bills and
other matters would be more accurately prepared
Our experience here is that if the members are
not lawyers. they usually consult some lawyer
friend on important matters. Senator Drexler, for
example, has his private legislative counsel
There arc too many lawyers on the committees
in the Missouri Legislature as The Star saws. bur
we don't believe there would be radical change
il the lawyers we're shorn of their authority and
power. 1t is hard to get the members of Leg
islature from under the influence of counsel" If
the absence of lawyers in Legislature meant
Utopia, we should have had it long ago in Della
ware.

BREAKING THE DEADLOCK.

HE net outcome of Mr. Drexers hght
- against his Republican colleagues in the
State Senate is the election of Mr.. Monaghan,
Democrat from this city TO be president pro tenn
pore, situation that was gradually becoming
unbearable developed as the outcome of Mr.. Drex-
ers obstinacy and the Republican Senators fin
ally decided TO end it. His election is high COM
pliment TO Mr. Monaghan, and shows the esteem
in which he is held by his fellow Senators re-
gardless of party.
Mr. Monaghan, so far as we know. has never
been accused of being railroad man. and the
fact that he is chosen president pro tempore and
will have the appointing of the committees is
clear indication that the Republican Senators we're
not lighting to give the railroad men the COM
mittees as has been charged by Mr.. Drexler and
his friends Receiving the Office as he does from
the hands of his political opponents, we are GER
tain that Mr. Monaghan will use the utmost care
in forming his committees, for upon him. under
the circumstances rests unusual responsibility
From the beginning Of the fight it was evident
that the opposition TO Mr.. Drexer was largely of
a personal nature and that his fellow Senators
under no circumstances would yield TO Mr. Drex-
Ter The Republican Senators have therefore sur
rendered what Mr.. Drexler considers an import,
ant outpost-the naming of the committees-and
they have surrendered in order that the Senate
shall no longer stand as discredited.
Mr. Drexler il now seems will have to be at
outs with both parties in the Senate. His Repub-
csn colleagues refused to elect him speaker and
his Democratic colleagues ignored him. We think
the better course for Mr.. Drexer to have pursued
would have been to Join with his Republican fel-
low members in organizing the Senate and to
make his fights on the floor
The plain fact has now developed that the Re
publicans are not sure Of the control of the Leg
islature The Senate is not Republican unless Mr.
Drexler gives the word This is not of so much
Importance because it is improbable that any par
tsan legislation will be attempted such would
require a united party, but the important thing
is that Mr.. Drexler has greatly impaired his use
funess as member, the Legislature was becom-
ing discredted and the hopes of those who ex-
pected that the present session would be prolific
of good results for the benefit OF the State we're
severely shaken. Let us trust that the session of
the Legislature which has had bad beginning
will have good ending
