the distinction is to complicatt
 the problem. There would be less
 occasion for police interference
 the evil would be kept within mar
 rOwer limits, if the moral guar dian of the community did their
 duty more thoroughly. Just as you cannot stop the sale of liquor
 so long as men wark to drink, SO you cannot purify the, com
 munity of any form of vice while any considerable number of men are vicious. And especially you cannot do this if public sentiment is lukewarm on the subject and lapscS from virtue are lightly re- garded.
 Nor does the responsibility lie only with the men who themselves are vicious. Mayor Gaynor char actcriZes as infamous" inc men who pay women three dollars a week and then drclaim about the D, evalcncc of prostitution. All students of the subject agree as tn the force of the economic mo- tive. It requires almost super human resolution for any human being to Starve for virtues sake while vice offers food. shelter and amusement. One might almost say. indeed, that the economic on franchiSrmrnt of women. which is being brought about very rap idly in these days, will of itself do much to minimize the social evil. What il cannot do the in nucnce of religion should br able to do. The law ma% restrain or punish. but the reforming impulse must come from within. Mayor Gaynor is perfectly right in re- fusing ln believe that police rrgu- laiion alone can haniSh vice from inc community. The subject iS hrd%rd about with all sorts of but IhiS al least may l,c regarded aS absolutely proved.

WHAT WE CAN DO.

The true spirit of Valdez has been shown in the Spnnlanity with which our business men are sub ScribinG tn the subsidy for d stage line to be run between thiS city and Willow creek ana the keeping open of the trail. lt is HOW definitely asccrlaincd that sufficient money will be pledged tn accomplish the purpose aimed al. that is the diversion of a crr- lain amount nf the travel to and ly desires tn come this way. The Keeping open uf lhr trail will b. well advertised both in the citir !n the south ani those in the in- have daily bulletins of the cumdi- lion nf Inc Trail pnslr.l in the hu- irIS of seattle as we'll a. those of Fairbanks. in order io offset mis- leading statements which are made every year in order io ti- vert the travel tn other points. The uncertainty of getting through over the Copper River road will as well have d tendency to divert travel this way, as the experiences of the past two years, when the snow fall has been light, has been such as tO lend very lit file encouragement during a win fer of heavy snowfall. The road by way of Chitina, may be few hnurs shorter, when all things arc working well, but experience has taught the travelling public that inc Valdez way is the sure way, and in the end the quickest way by which tO reach ones destina- lion, be it tn the interior or from the inside tO the coast.
 Casually it. might be mcniion- cd that the business men of Val drZ have. in getting together in this matter, shown what can be dGnc when all pull together. With a united front there is hardly any limit which we can set on the pos abilities of our accomplishments. The result of our work will be shown during the long winter. months ahead of us.

HIGHER TAX ON LUxURIES.

One of the propositions which failed of consideration by the re- cent congress was the bill of Rep IreSentativc Roberts of MaSSachu- sets which inStrucls the Inter state Commerce Commission tO institute a thorough investigation of the freight rates charged by common carriers on all articles lcOmmOnly claSscd as luXuries, with a view of subsequently, raiS- ing inc rates on such articles to d point where the earnings of the common carriers will allow the payment of just and cquit able wages to their employees.
 This is simply all application to railroad freight rates of the principle which, in theory al least, and largely in practice. obtains
 in the framing of the tariff on imports. What Representative Roberts has in view is an increase in freight rates that will not in turn lead io rise in the price of those things commonly called tecessaricS, thereby compelling the wage carncr, who is the chief consumer, to meet most of the cost of the advance. He would, in other words, place inc tax on things that arc not essential to the wage earncr. He would make those who seek and enjoy and can afford IuXuricS indemnify the railroads for such increase in
 their expenses as higher wages would make necessary.
 Whether the thing that might De properly claSSed as luXurlcs constitute d sufficient portion of
 the freight traffic of the railroads
 lo yield, by an increase in the rates. the needed additional rev
 enur, is something the interstate
 commerce commission can read , iIy determine. rPnding ihiS infur-
 mat ion, no steps can br taken to- ward putting Representative Rob cri'S idea into practical operation. 1 It may bc said al IhiS stage, how
 ever. that il has inc merit of or igiIlaliiy and, SO far as it may bc
 seen now, inc additional merit of
 fairness, since it. apparently aims
 to transfer a portion of the bur
 den fro movcrloadcd shoulders
 to those that are running light.
 This proposition sounds cntic-
 ing, in it's way, but it will require
 more than a ruling by the Inter-
 state commerce commission to
 determine what arc luxurics and
 what arc necessarics. Some of us
 may not care about champagne
 while We are willing lo fight tr the last ditch Lo get tho lowest
 possible rato on pruncs. Irs very

Attorney General Galen holds
that the Poison election was legal
although it was held on Arbor
day. He does not consider Ar
Dor day a holiday. The Courier
in publishing this story makes a

which should be good for the
soul, and is what we have long
suspected, that Poison had a lot
of grafters.

last Saturday. The following
were elected delegates to con-

nan on Sunday last: j. F. Olson,
J. D. Cowgirl and N. Dellwo, Sr.
The alternates were c.. E.
Marble, VIM. Crawford and Fred
F. Simmons. 1t was decided at
this meeting to call a convention
of all farmers to meet in Roman
on June 18th.
The rains of the past ten days
have settled the newly construc-
ted roads and the road beds are
said to be in fine condition. With
the work being done each year,
il is only a question Of a short
time before road conditions will
be greatly improved all over the
reservation. 1t is an immense
territory to cover and requires a
vast expenditure to make any
thing like q showing, but the
county commissioners are doing
all they can just as fast as they
can to build roads for the people
of this section.
The jim Hill mustard crop
bids fair to be as great this year
as last. This weed is becoming
a serious menace to the farmers
of the Flathead and unless dras-
tic measures are applied, will .
soon be beyond control. Some
fields are already so foul as to be
almost valueless for the raising
of a crop Of grain. The roads
are filled with the mustard and
the most careful farmer is I'M
able to control the scattering Of
the seed with this menace con-
stantly before him. Something
should be done to eradicate the
pest. Il

cheney Of the organization, and
to the fact that we have a tire
less worker, in the person of
brother j. w. Lamb, as presi-
dent of the class. and a teacher
OF whom the whole class is
proud, in the person Of Judge
Geo. X. Bean.
But the lessons that we have
had for the past quarter have
been very interesting also, and
as they deal with the questions
that effect our every day af-
fairs of life, even in this day,
they bring out some quite in
structive discussions. Profita-
bic study of the bible lessons is
materially aided by these dis
cussions, and exchange of views,
in an informal way. Every one
being free to take as active a
part in these matters as his
inclination shall dictate.
Last Sunday we had several
most useful lessons embraced in
the scripture that we studied as
a text. The story of the woman
who did the Christ a service in
the home of the Pharisse, and
who at the amazement of the
Pharisee received the great
blessing of the Master. Selfish
ness largely controls most men,
but in that lesson we are taught
that selfshness is no part of the
christian religion, and that the
life Of service is the one success
ful road TO happiness and peace.
We shall be glad that you will
visit US, for we get great good
out Of our meetings and we are
persuaded that you will too, if
you will but meet with us.

rHRLApIEs, AID

The Ladies Aid of the Chris
tian church though we are not
often heard from through the
press. is not dead. and
though we are few in number
we are mighty in will power.
We are many little things in
our home department which we
feel will not be unrewarded since
Christ has said if we give a
cup of cold water in His name
we shall not lose our reward and
if a cup of cold water is
worthy of recognition, surely
helping to clothe and feed the
poor will if done in a Christian
spirit be looked upon as worthy
deeds not that we would claim
any merit for any deeds of ours
but we trust each little act of
kindness may bring us nearer
to the Masters feet. II will be
remembered that last year we
subscribed one hundred and
sixty dollars to the T. c. U.,
to be used toward building a
Bible College Domitory" to be
used as a home for young men
who are trying to educate them
selves for the ministry. This
sum was to be paid in two
equal payments. We have been
fortunate enough to make one
full payment and half of the
last one. besides keeping up our
part of our pastors salary. We
are now preparing a box Of
necessary articles to send to the
"Old Peoples Home" at Dallas
and we hope to be able to send
something useful to the Or
phans Home by Thanksgiving to
gladden. the hearts of little ones
and tighten the burdens Of those
faithful ones In charge. We
have made quite a little sum Of
money by quilting. Now all
this may seem small and in
significant bat We are glad that
we are alive and at work. Next
Tuesday will be our election
day and | hope we may have a
good atlendence.
