4GENTLEMAN FROM ALASKA, IS JAMES WICKERSHAM.
 F1FTY-FTVE TODAY

In the House of Representatives at Washington there are five men who possess all the privileges and rights of membership in that body except for the trifling detail of not being per- mitted to vote These are the dele gates from Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines, the latter being represented by two commissioners. Among these disfranchised legislators, not the least important is James Alaska judge, lawyer, antiquarian, Fethnologist, adyenturer and mountain climber
 MT. Wickersham is native. of H. Iihois, having been born flfty-f1ve years ago at Patoka, in that State. His early education was of the com mon school, variety, supplemented by a course of law reading which en- abled him to pass the examination and be admitted to the bar at the, age of tWenty-three. In the early s80 he trekked westward toward the Pa cific, settling in the State of Wash ington, where he speedily won recog- hilton and was elected probate judge of Pierce county and city attorney ot Tacoma, and later member of\ the Washington State House of Represen- tatives. In 1900 he abandoned 8 f1ourishing law practice in Tacoma to go to Alaska, President Mckinley having appointed him United States district judge for that Territory. Holding court in Alaska in those days was a job for hardened athlete: Dogs, snowshoes and boats were the means of Iocomotion. When he first held court in Fairbanks, that place consisted of two or three log huts, and the modern little city of to-day, with all it's modern and up-to-date conveniences, was undreamed of. Judge Wickersham had deep sc1en- tific interest in the varied phenomena of nature, and he found plenty of na- ture with the bark on in his travels about Alaska. As a youngster he had written a learned essay on the Mounds of Sangamon. County, H., = for the Smithsonian Institution, and his interest in things scietiffc had in creased with the passing years. When he had been in Alaska three years he determined to have try at Mount Mckinley. No organized attempt had ever been made to reach the snowy peak of the continents backbone, so Judge Wickersham was pioneer and pathfinder for those who followed. Mark and Hanna
 Five men and two mules, named Mark and Hanna, accompanied the Judge on his expedition. The par tV reached an altitude of 10000 feet, and had many narrow slaves with creyasses and glaciers, but were fore ed to beat a retreat when the supply of provisions was exhausted. Judge Wickersham made typographical map of the country travelled that has since been adopted by the United States Geological Survey, He also wrote of his exploit in the American Antiquarian and other periodicals de- voted to the propagation of learning. Judge Wiekersham was first elected Alaskan delegate to Congress in 1908 | and was reelected to the Sixty sec ond Congress. Campaigning is no easy matter for the gentleman from Alaska, for II taxes nearly year may be reached by boats, on which 1.-the passenger is made fairly comfort able, but when the Delegate. goes a visiting the sovereign voters of the l interior he often has to travel bysdog power.

two hundredth anniversary of it's es- tablishment was celebrated in 1880 and was one of the great theatrical events of the century. The Comedie Fran caise is the oldest important playhouse in the world, with the exception of the Drury Lane, London, founded in 1862
 The first settlement on the site of New Orleans was made by the French under Jean de Bionville Aug 9, 1719 194 years ago. When Louisiana was ceded to Spain the Southern metropo- lis hoisted the Spanish flag, but in 1900, the province reverted to France, and in 1903 was purchased by the United States. Through all these changes and even until the present the Crescent City has remained to a considerable extent a French city, and the language and customs of France are retained to a greater extent than in any other big municipality in Am erica, with the possible exception of Montreal.
 Smith College. the famous educa- tional institution for women at North ampton, Mass, was founded by Sophia Smith, 116 years ago. Since it's orga- niza ton in 1871 about 5000 women have graduated from. the college

 Make your town out bad place and stab it every chance you get.
 Refuse to unite in any scheme for the betterment of the material inter estss of the people.
 Tell your merchant that you get goods a great deal cheaper in some other town and charge him with ex- tortion. If stranger comes to your town tell him everything is overdone and predict a general crash in the near future
 Patronize outside newspapers to the exclusion of your own and then de- nounce yours for not being as large and as cheap as the city papers.
 If you are a merchant, don't adver- tise in the home paper, but compel the editor to go elsewhere for adver- tisements and howl like a sorehead because he does so. Buy a rubber stamp and use it. It may save you a few dimes and make your letter heads look as though you were doing business in a one-horse town.
 If you are farmer curse the place where you trade as the meanest on earth. Talk this over with your neighbors and tell them the men are robbers and thieves. It will make your property much less valuable, but you don't care.

REVIEWS
 FROM Our Exchanges
IN VERMONT.
(Hartford Times )

A correspondent in Vermont sends to The Times the original call for the party caucus which was held in Hartland in that state on August IT, 1912. It. is signed by Fl. T. Dun bar, F. w. Haley and F. R. Crawford.
 There are about 400 voters in the town. Our correspondent states that the caucus was attended by IF Taft Republicans, 19 members of the bull moose party, and. no Democrat. Our correspondent says: 'If any of the B: M. got away it was not the. fault of the agent of the square deal party.
 No doubt at least 300 of the voters in this Vermont town have called themselves Republicans heretofore, and the fact that only 17 straight Re- publicans took enough interest in the party caucus to attend it shows that Republican feeling is at very low ebb in Vermont this year. The fact that they were outnumbered by the supporters of the third-term candi- date is equally significant, while it al- so indicates that the number of Roosevelt adherents Is not large.
 We reproduce from the. Boston Transcript a letter which shows that the Roosevelt agents are putting forth great efforts to stir up the vot- CTS and are disbursing a good deal of money in their Vermont campaign. They are evidently much more active than the supporters of MT. Taft.
 The inference we draw from these facts that there will be a very large stay-at-home vote'' in Vermont on the 3rd of September. The Republi- can candidate for governor is certain to be chosen, by the legislature if not by popular vote. But the falling off in the Republican vote is likely to be great eneugh~to foresha dow the de- feat of both Taft and Roosevelt in the country at large in November.

 Dr. Eliot, in his report, consid- CTS immigration to be one of the greatest problems of this age. He believes that very serious evils result from males in large numbers emil grating and leaving their women without domestic restraints. He ur- ges the rather. startling proposition that the nations by law prevent inn migration of males into their land when it exceeds per cent of female immigration from the same country. Such a restriction has never been placed upon migration in the world g history. Its enforcement is dubious and, yet it is a proposal which will command careful attention from those who understand and appreciate the, magnitude of this whole subject.
