The jury in the case of Selina Dowl- ing, accused of poisoning her mother, returned a verdict of not guilty. Selma is a half breed girl and lived with her mother, an Indian woman, on the Doug las beach. She has had hard life of it. There were many things that point ed to her guilt, but it is probable that the jury was actuated largely by the spirit of mercy. And why not? Are not all in a measure responsible for the conditions which have surrounded the life of this little girl? Are our hands entirely clean? Is it not the law of the white uan-or the lack of law-that permits struggling good-for-nothings from every part of the world to come to Alaska and by their despicable con- duct, to add to the burden of shame and disgrace that already rests upon the shoulders of the poor Indian people? Who is responsible for the miserable indignities which this poor klEl udS USGu AOACGO GO SAAOOAC oAA LSA life? She had no choice of paths, only one was laid before here, and that one . led down iuto the depths of depraVity lower than we eau conceive. A mem- Der of the jury which acquitted the girl said to the writer, ''I had daughter ouce." It struck us that-in that remark was manifested touch of human sen timent higher than is usually brought to bear on Indian matters. The life of Selina wus sample of hundreds of others all over the North-no better, no worse. We pass it all by with smile of indifference until some ter. rible crime sets tongues to waggiDg aud unlim hers the stern machinery of the law. Then we cry out for the blood of the poor unfortunate who has reached the bottom of the social toboggan. And we sometimes get it, but there will sure come time when that blood will cry out for vengeance, pleading only iustice.

 The High school plans to produce a play some time during the latter part of this month, the proceeds of which will be used for reference books.
 The snow banks have at last disap' peared from the playgrounds, and out door sports are being enjoyed, baseball being the most popular.
 The third year English class is study ing Burke's speech on Generalization.

Clean Up

Spring is here at last. There is no mistake about it this time, for the robins have come. You never fool the robins about spring. The piles of snow and ice are fast disappearing from the townsite, leaving exposed the tin cans and ashes that have been dumped in the back yards during the winter. There are also the everlasting stumps, She old boards, a broken sled, beer bar rels and boxes by the score. It is a re- pulsive looking sight, menace to the life and health of every body. To clean it all up means a whole lot of work, but if it can be done, and done thoroughly, it will look a heap better and will be safer.
 Every spring Douglas attempts a cleanup, but it has never been as thor ough as it should have been. Why not make a good job of it this year?

Let the People
Express Their Opinion.

A majority of the members of the
legislature were in favor of abolishing
the convict lease system in Florida, but
there were not enough in favor of it to
pass the abolition bill over the head of
the governor There is no doubt in
the minds of the average FToridian,
however, that seven out of ten people
in the state wish that the legislators
had ignored the governors veto.
Realizing this condition of affairs the
Tampa Tribune makes the suggestion
that the Democratic Executive Com
mittee have printed on the primary
election tickets a place for the voters
to say whether they are in favor of it
or not 1t says;
Let the State Democratic Committee,
when it meets to arrange for the pri-
mary elections of next year, provide a
place on the ballot for an expression of
the voters on the convict lease ques-
ton. Let the ballot read for or against
the leasing of convicts in Florida and
the result will determine just how the
people stand on this important issue,
which is sure to arise at every session
of the legislature until 1t Is settled and
settled right.
Inc outcome OF the recent leBlSla-
lures action and the governors action
on the question did not determine it
by any means and it will continue to
be agitated in the press and by the
public.
If an expression of the sort suggested
is heard at the first primary of next
year, ii will serve to put the members
Of the next ensuing legislature upon
full notice as to the wishes Of the peo-
pie, as well as other officials, and the
verdict will be rendered with such en-
phasis as to be unmistakable.
Put the primary question on the bal
lot and let the people decide.
.. The Tribune makes a wise sugges-
ton, and one which will in all proba-
bility be carried out by the state COM
mittee The idea is a thoroughly Dem
ocratic one, and on questions which af-
feet the entire people. as the convict
lease system does, the people should
have the right to express their opinion,
and the opinion so expressed should be

DRUMMERS
DAY WILL BE A
FAIR FEATURE
GENERAL MANAGER LlLLARD AN
NOUNCES THAT ONE DAY WILL
BE DEVOTED TO THE TRAVEL
ING MAN, THE DATE OF WHICH
WILL BE ARRANGED LATER.

General Manager Lillard. Of the In
terstate Fair Association, yesterday af-
ternOOn announced that during the fair
this fall one day will be devoted to the

as "DruumeTs' Day" The manager
reached this decision after 81 number
of prominent travelling men who either
live or travel in this territory had re-
quested him to set aside a day for
them.
Mr.. Lillard stated that he had not
vet designated the day, but that he in
tended taking tho matter up with Of
fcers of the r. P. A, and as soon as
he can get into communication with
them and ascertain what day viii best
suit them, announcement will be made.
Manage Iillard and members Of the
board of directors regard this as an eX-
cellent move, believing that ii will in
terest the travelling men in the fair to
q greater extent than has ever been
the case before, and realizing that the
travelling men are great boosters and
can be of much aid in making the fair
a success.

confronted by q new problem which
was not solved until the discovery Of
NewbrOs Herpicide Herpicide being
the first successful preparation com
pounded in harmony with this new
theory. becomes the original remedy to
kill the dandTuff germ.
Since then, numerous preparations
said to be Just s good as HerpiCide
have been thrown upon the market;
others have adopted Ierpicide claims,
and without making any change in
their remedies. but none have ever
reached the same degree Of popularity.
Everywhere this remedy is recognized
as the one genuine daudruf germ de
strOyer As a result Herpicide has
more satisfied users than all other hair
preparations combined.
Being the original remedy, users ex-
pect more astonishing results from
Herpicide than they would look for
from any other preparation and they
usually get them. So wonderful has
been the success Of this gerniCide that
it is now recognized as the standard
hair remedy Of the world.
HerpiCide kills the dandruff germ,
checks falling hair. It stops itching Of
the scalp almost instantly.

vantage to Santa Rosa county of the
Molino plan is apparent, as the main
line of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad runs within 1000 feet of the
river and the people living in the cen
trail part or northern part Of that
county would be given easy access to
railroad facilities. l have every rea-
son to believe that the present board
of county commissioners will consider
carefully the matter of expense as at
the present time it is Of very serious
importance. We will need money to
build more good roads to keep up with
the procession on the good roads ques-
ton, and with the jail proposition
loaded on the county, it certainly
would seem that every reasona bic
economy should be exercised in pro-
vfding this necessary connection of
bridge across the Escambia.

binding upon the members Of the legis-
lature and the governor
There is so much opposition to the
leasing of convicts that it is sure to be
question in every legislature, and,
while The Journal feels confident that
the next legislature will abolish the
lease system, the people in the pri-
maries can express their opinion with
out any trouble and any cost to the
committee.
The Tribune's suggestion should be
followed out.

Senator Swanson wants congress to
appropriate twenty million dollars
yearly for the building of national hard
surfaced highways. Such projects have
been advocated before Mr. Blount
making this one of his campaign plat
form planks when he made the race for
the senate. 1t may look unreasonable
to some people who cannot see into
the future, but there is no reason why
the government should not build ma
tional roadways when so many millions
Of dollars are spent to create water
ways. Waterways are invaluable, but
the traffic on land should be provided
with suitable highways to travel over.
