than year and a half The con stant gloom by which we are sur rounded darkened his whole outlook on life, he said. He added:
 "It's a constant war between wis dom and sympathy"
 Being a judge was certainly much simpler and easier in the old days before we began to talk of the respon- slbility of society for much of our vice and crime. It is one thing to act as umpire and decide contested points of law. It is quite another to think of ones self as a moral doctor and diagnostician and to feel obliged to treat not the symptoms but the dis ease. There can be no doubt that our courts are rapidly becoming Thu manized," and the result has been al. most pure gain. But is there no way of eQuallzing the strain which their additional responsibilities throw upon the judges?

A BROADER POLICY NEEDED.

Reports that have reached The Empire from various Coast sections of Alaska. especially to the Westward are to the effect that the people of those districts are looking hopefully forward to the inauguration of the Democratic administration. A cor respondent writes:
 We are looking to Wilson with a hopeful feeling that he may under stand and will relieve the unjust, in iquitous, and absolutely criminal con- dition which exists with regard to the use and development of some of the most important natural resources of Alaska. We have reason to hope that the Democratic party will not aban. don the fundamental principles Of honesty in dealing with the people of Alaska, and with the fruits-results of many years of struggle and priya- tion-which they have believed be- long to them.
 "If this policy is adopted by the new administration, and if 1t can re- ceive favorable consideration at the hands Of Congress. s'"I see no reason why Alaska will not advance by leaps and bounds in material and economic prosperity. Alaska asks but the removal of the cruel hand from her throat. and she will awake from her condition of suspended ami nation and will deck her hills and valleys with the flowers of industry"
 We share our friends hopes. We do not think that Alaska has had square deal under preceding federal administrations. A more liberal pol icy is demanded. Alaslla's resources. we claim. should be for the leglti. mate use of Alaskans-those who have given of their brawn. brain and capi- tai to make them serviceable to man. kind If the incoming Democratic ad- ministration fails to treat Alaska with more consideration than has been shown in the past, We may well des- pair But we hope for a new era which shall rebound to the benefit of Alaska's remotest bounds. If the iug-handled policy of recent years be continued. we shall be

VOTING FOR PRESIDENT.

Our method of electing President and Vice President is cumbersome and complicated. and we believe that the time is not far distant when these officers will be elected by the direct vote Of the people.
 Under our present system each po- Htical party nominates a number of electors in their respective states, corresponding to each states repre- sentation in the Congress. The cleo tors chosen then meet. usually in the January following the presidential election. in their respective states, their duties being defined clearly by the twelfth amendment to the Cousti- tuition of the United States. The cleo tors vote by ballot for President and Vice President. and they are required to make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President and as Vice President. and Of the number Of votes for each. which list they are required to sign and certify and transmit. (generally by one of their number chosen for that purpose) sealed to the seat Of government of the United States. directed to the president of the Senate. On a day fixed. that official, in the presence of the Senate and House Of Representa- tiyes, opens all the certificates and votes are then counted, and the per sons having the greatest number of votes for President and Vice Presi. dent. respectively. are declared elect ed.
 Provision is also made in the Con- sutution as to how a President and Vice President are chosen, should none receive a majority Of the cleo toral vote. something, however, which has never happened in the history of the republic.
 The votes Of the electoral college may be cast for any person. There is nothing in law to compel them to vote for the candidates designated It is simply a matter of honor with them. but be 1t said. has never been violated. This question caused con siderable discussion prior to the late presidential contest, inasmuch as some electors on the Republican tick cts Of some states, in control of the Progressive party. declared their in tention of voting for Roosevelt, if they were elected. But the matter, We believe, was finally amicably ar ranged in all the states. except Cali toruia. where no Republican electors were voted for.

NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR USES.

A newspaper is a reGex-and a good one-or the community in which 1t is published. It the town is alive and enterprising it may be taken for granted that the fact will be reflected in the newspapers columns, This statement is general, and must be ta- ken in lrs broadest sense.
 This is an age of publicity the world over. It is strictly an advertis- ing era. The United States is the greatest country for advertising in the world. It's advertising people know their business and the merchant and business man know that 1t pays to advertise. It has become a neces- sity. Modern methods of business de- mand the greatest possible publicity because 1t pays. There is no senti- ment in it, save that which brings grist to the mill,
 The newspaper business is just as legitimate a business as the grocery or dry goods store, the shoe store or the foundry. It has. to be sure, un- dergone an evolution. The earliest printed newspapers, samples of which are jealousy guarded, may be found in the British Museum. They are strange. indeed. but nightly interest ing-but if their founders could see the metropolitan newspapers of today what a striking contrast they would witness.
 The time has passed in most com munities when a business man ad- vertizes merely for the sake of help ing out the paper" That is a relic of the "meal.ticket plan" when newspa' pers existed by sufrerance rather than by merit,or because they were of value to their communities. When a man advertises he expects. or should expect, results. And he will get re- suits, if he advertises judiciously and truthfully.
 A word more: Some people seem to think that a newspaper exists sole, | ly for their benefit. It is a public institution which they will patronize l if they can do 1t without cost to them selves. That is to say that it is not business affair. These are mistak' en. It is. If you so into a grocery store and buy a sack of sugar you do not expect the grocer to give you sack of flour with it do you? If you buy a pound of steak from your butcher. do you expect him to give couple of mutton chops for break, fast? Yet, in way, this is what some people expect of Q newspaper The newspaper is the greatest publicity agent in existence. Constanly it is advertising and working for it's com munity. in a hundred ways, for which | it neither asks nor exepects credit or reward, save that which comes to it through the growth and up building of its constituency.
 A newspaper or other publication that has to beg for living would be better dead. Such are of no value to any country or community.

PARCELS POST AN INNOVATION.

We believe that this part of Alas, ka is included in the parcels post zone The parcels post law will go into operation on January l next. Probably it may be of great service to the people of the States, or a part of them, but we do not know how it will affect Alaska. If it aids the mail order houses it will work harm in- stead of good. As a matter of fact we have little use for these institu- tions, and ninety-nine times out of a hundred those who patronize them would save money and trouble by buying from the home merchant, even at a slight additional cost.
 It is needless to point out that money sent outside to purchase goods never returns. while money spent in patronizing home industries stays where it is spent and is of benefit to the entire community. It is like an endless chain. and the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker" ," all get a little of it.
 Patronizing ones home business houses, encouraging home industries by buying and using their products, builds up your town, increases the earning population, creates a civic pride and gives a community stand ing both at home and abroad.
 With us the parcels post is an in novation, although in most European countries it has been an institution for many years It has worked sat isfactorily there. but the conditions there obtaining are much different than here. There, the farmer sends his garden truck, his eggs even, and his chickens-almost every thing that he produces in fact-by the parcels post. and the proceeds are returned direct to him to be spent by him in his home village or town.
 The parcels post will no doubt en. ter into competition to some extent, at least. with the big express con- panies of the country, to whose oppo- sition is due the fact that the estab- lishment of this system has been so long delayed in the United States.

permanence of the present prosperity of the country"
 That is the kind of talk that counts. It attracts attention that is worth while. It gives people who are look ing this way something real and tan gible for their consideration. In somewhat vague way It has been known, for To, these many years that this was promising quartz section, but many things have developed rapidly It is true that the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Company has been steadily grinding out gold from low grade ore across the Gastineau, for many years. It has also been doing substantial development work and been always leading factor in the mining enterprises of this region. On Douglas island 1t is known as the "old steady producer" And 1t Is, and it will continue to be 80 indefinite ly. Besides 1t and subsidiary cOmpan- ies give promise of great expansion in the immediate future.

 President.Elect Wilson has deter mined to dodge political callers and take a much.needed rest. Uneasy lies the head that has to deal with the insistent cla nor for public office. It was President Benjamin Harrison who regretted that there were not offices enough to go round" Ap- parently Mir Wilson will have to share the same regret.
 
 Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, will be the twenty-eighth president of the United States. He was christen. ed Thomas Woodrow and this reminds us of the fact that President Grant was christened Hiram Ulysses and Cleveland, Stephen Grover. Gen. William Henry Harrison was the old est man elected to the Presidency and Roosevelt the youngest, Grant being the next youngest by six months. Cleveland was the only President mar ried in the White House, and his sec. ond daughter the only Presidents child born therein. James Monroes daughter (Mrs. Gouverneur), Gronts daughter (Mrs. sartoris), and Roose- velt's daughter (Mrs. Longworth), {, were the only children of Presidents married in the White House. w. H. Harrison was the father of the largest family, six sons and four daughters.
 By the death of Vice President Sher. man a few days ago, Secretary of State Philander Chase Knox became Vice President and he will preside over the next session of the United States Senate. The Presidential succession is fixed by law, which pro- vides that "in case of the removal, death, resignation, or inability of both the President and Vice President, then the Secretary of State shall act as President until the disability of the President or Vice President is re- moved or a President elected. If there be no Secretary of State, then the Secretary of the Treasury win act; and the remainedr of the order of succession is as follows: The Sec retary of War, Attorney General, Postmaster General. Secretary of the Navy, and Secretary of the Interior"

Her later life has been spent in
Oklahoma. -Four years ago she
fled on a homestead, taking up
her residence in Mora County N.
M, still feeling equal tolthe trials
and yexations ofmore pioneer life.
But even her sturdy constitution
succuubed under the trials and
difficulties. She early in life be-

And when the final trumpet shall
call and God shall Judge both the
livingand the dead. 1t can be said
to her: Come thou faithful serv-
ant thou hast been faithful over
a few things, l will make thee rul,

Congress Wishes
Early Adjournment

Washington, May 26.-Longer
daily sessions of the senate will
begin this week to expedite legis-
lation and to speed adjournment
Of congress as much as possible.
Republican leaders are trying to
end the session by the latter part
of June. Others cling to the pos
sibility Of an adjournment by
June 10, toward which the house
democratic leaders are pressing,
while many senator's say early
adiornment is absurd.
Strong pressure is being
brought to lear to curtail debate
advancing the hour of convening
and holding night sessions so as
to hasten all necessary legisla-
tion with appropriation bills kept
to the front. Plans of the regu.
lar republicans to absent them
selves on important tariff votes
are expected to simplify the tar
if situation and enable the presi-
dent to act on the straight demo.
cratic tariff propositions.
The main obstacles are Sena-
or Hepburn, of Idaho, and the
Lorimer election case. Senator
Hepburn says that congress
should stay in session until No
vember if necessary, and is count
ing upon blocking tariff legisla
tion to the last ditch. Progress.
sive republicans, like Senator
Cummins, Of Iowa, want adjourn
ment, but want some tariff re
vision first.
The Cuban Intervention will
figure in the senate committee OF
Cuban relations, which vii
undertake to report necessar,
Legislation to determine wheI
and how this government shal
exercise the right to intervene il
Cuba under the socalled Plat
amendment.
