CLUB IN GOOD SHAPE.
Thanks to the efforts of the retir-
ing commodore, G. A. Jencke, Secre-
tary C. ]. Beardsley and others of
the officers, who were at the head of
the club last year, the organization
is in excellent shape financially.
There is no Indebtedness and there
are a number of outstanding bills
due the club which when paid will
give it a good start for the coming
year. The club is expected to be
more prosperous and stronger than
ever next year. The retiring off1cers
we're named as a committee to con-
fer with the new ones relative to
revision of the constitution. The
idea is to change the harbor rules
so as to make a paid up membership
in the association of more real
value and to prevent launch owners
from imposing upon the club by
making use of the harbor privileges
without paying for the same.
SOCIAL CLUB REoRGANIZED.

the reorganization of the winter So

day the members of the social club

toring and other water sports.

ALWAYS WORRIED.

He worried when the days were fair. Because they could not last; He worried when the bOurhs were
 bare
 And the skies were overcast: When all the orchards were abloom And all the hills were green He sadly shook his head and said That frosts would surely come to
 spread
 A blight OCT all the scene. He worried when mild brceZes blew And spoke of coming storms: He worried when his cares were few And when they came in swarms; He worried when his health was
 good
 And dreaded future ills; He worried when the sun was low And when the mornings splendid
 glow
 Was bright upon the hills He worried when his friends were
 kind,
 And, doubting, shook his head: "They've axes that they wish 10
 grind
 He skeptically said. His days are done. but if he has A home within the sky He probably is in despair Because the harp he fingers there Will wear out bye and bye.

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
QUARTZ WEEK.

While it might have been hoped that more money would be realized by Quartz Week" it can be said that the week of endcavor organized by the directors turned out on the whole. very satisfactorily. l. result ed in the sale of about a thousand dollars worth of stock and helped very materially in quickening the interest in the development company plan.
 To the children who worked so faithfully and those members of the board who devoted very great deal of their time to the cause the thanks of the community are due. Special mention in this regard is also necessary in the case of MessrS. Martin X kOon. who donated the pictures for the show on Tuesday night: of Joe Mathews. who secur- ed the hall and worked like a slave all week. and of the musicians who made such satisfactory terms with the committee

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan 2S. - Harold Barr, aged 20; May Rich ards, woman Of 21, who says she is Barr's wife; and H. II.

LONESOME FOR PRISON LIFE
He Spent 32 Out of 67 Years in
 the Penitentiaries.

CHICAGO. Feb. l. A whole lot has been written about persons trying to keen out of the peniten- tiary. Now a man is found who, it is believed, is trying to break into prison.
 Why?
 Because he likes it.
 William Robertson stood up and told Judge Cavanaugh that he had spent 32 of his 67 years behind prison walls. This is not counting the months he had laid in county jails awaiting trials.
 Judge, spent 26 years in Joliet prison" he told the court. T swore when I left it last time that would never go back. But some how the feeling comes over me that I want to sleep there again.
 Prison ain't such bad place to be unless you got grudge. You get good grub and you're treated square. l ain't got any folks, nor any friends, nor any home.
 I've been in so many prisons that l guess I'm pretty good judge of them. like Joliet the best. They treat you real white there The worlds a cold place for a man like me, and thoughts of Joliet kinder make me homesick. don't wanter go to the poorhouse.

THE BANQUET.

There is every possibility al this time that the Democratic banquet to be held on Jackson Day. March l5. will be the most successful af- fair of it's kind ever held in Alaska. The committees are meeting with much encouragement on every hand and it is now assured that there will be no lack of talent" Some of the best speakers in the district will be on hand and there will not be dry moment during the time the program is being rendered. Some surprises are being prepared by the enterprising program com add to the enjoyment.
 It Is to be distinctly understood that, while it is a Democratic ban quet, all, of whatever political faith. are invited to attend. And the af- fair is to be democratic in the true sense of the word. Members of the Labor party will find a welcome as cordial as would be accorded them at a purely Labor gathering, and they will have an opportunity of hearing able repre- sentaives of their party discuss Dem ocracy as related to the labor ques- tion. There will be no one asked to change his political faith, although there will be good reasons advanced for the embracing by all Alaskans of the principles laid down by the Democratic party
 The happenings of the past few years have indicated that it is only through the Democratic party that Alaska can hope to come into its own. Pledged in it's platform adopted at the Denver convention to Home Rule for Alaska" there is no reason to fear that emancipation from misrule will be denied the North country by the Democratic party when it controls congress. It is almost universally admitted that this control will soon be obtained and 1t therefore behooves Alaskans to get into line with the party that will soon be dominant At the ban quet the better organization of the Democratic party in this district will be fully considered and discussed and plans will be laid that will undoubtedly result in the return of Democratic delegate at the next election.

and promising if successful. to call special session of congress. and lower the tariff and thereby reduce the burdens of the poor. They were taken at their word and were sue Cessful at the election and the spec ial session was called. and the tariff was promptly and substantially in creased This is concise state ment of the history of tariff for protection.
 They still have the hardihood to say that wages are higher in Amer ica on account of the tariff. What nerve Where did the Republican party ever raise a finger to stop the tide of immigration of Europe and Asiatic labor which flowed in continuously and competed with the American laborer. The only import that the Republican party did not try to burden with a protective tar if was foreign labor Not only tHdl, uul II IS d wen hIlpN II liidt- ter of history that these beneficiar- ies of the tariff system have brought millions of foreign labOrers into this country under contract for low wages. to compete with our American laborer. And every laboring man knows but tCo well that if it were not for the labor unions. their wages and treatment would be altogether different It has been and is the policy of the Republican party to give to the trusts billions of dollars annually extorted from the consumer of the goods. and to make the laboring man be good by means of the equity arm of the courts by the process of injunction.
 We have been -- fools long enough. Let Us get into the camp of those who are not robbing us but are in our own class. No one but a beneficiary of the trusts has any excuse for being a Republican.

in the construction of the Aldrich- Payne tarif and who do not seem to have learned any wisdom from the disastrous verdict pronounced at the polls upon those who Perpetrat- ed that act.
 The president in his plea for the treaty has right as well as expedi- enCy on his side. He has done well to secure such treaty. and it would be well for him and his party if he could bring about it's aCCep. tance by congress. l. would go far toward regaining for him the ground which he lost by his wavering com promise on the Aldrich-Payne meas ure after committing himself as thoroughly to genuine tariff reform as he now commites himself to Ca nadian reciprocity. Possibly he will make more effort to have congress adopt his views on reciprocity than he made to have il adopt his views on tariff reform. Possibly. in that event. he might exert sufficient in fuenCe to swing enough of his stand pat partisans in congress to unite with Democrats and Insurgents and validate the treaty. But 1t is doubt ful that he can do this. if he tries. and the indications, therefore. are that if the treaty is confirmed it must be because the Democrats and Insurgents shall prove strong enough to confirm it
 But here. too is an element of un- certainty: for. applaud the general principles of tariff reform as they may, it has been the past experience that hy no means all Democrats and few. if any. Insurgents. can be counted on to stand by tariff re- form when il reforms the duties off of schedules affected by their own local interests.

THE RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT

The Courier-Journal is not san guine that the reciprocity arrange ments, negotiated between represen- tatives of the United States and Canada and laid before the legis- lative bodies of the two countries Friday, will be ratified by our con gress It is too objectionable to certain protected interests to es- cape stubborn resistance in a con- gross dominated by the protected interests.
 Undoubtedly the treaty, if it may be so called. is a step in the right direction. To the extent that 1t diminishes restrictions on our inter- national trade and decreases or re- moves duties on commodities essen- tial to the sustenance and comfort of American consumers, it is to be commended; but it is just to that extent that 1t will be fought by the standpatters, who had their way
