MIR. GILMORE AND THE LAW.

We must admire Mir. Gilmorc'S S frankncSS when he advocates the bidding of defiance to the en- fnrcrmrnt of certain laws which are claSsed as obnoxious, with the added advice. to give them no at icntinn, to disregard them, and, if need be, tn disuualify a pros prciivr juror if the law is sought to be enforced. Owing ln the fact that the number of jurors in an Alaskan town is limited, ihis lat ter method is apt to prove effect i've in accomplishing it's object.
 What about such d dnctrin" when preached from the public plat form? Who is iO determine when a law is a bad law and it's enforcement abandoned? If one law can thus he srl aside, why not two, three or all?
 The evil which will flow from he aIvnrary of Mr. Gilmnr"'S doctrine will prove far greater than any possible benefit. II crr- tainly cannot increase ones re- Sprri for the law.
 Applying this doctrine in the road tax law, which. in parLicu- lar. seems lo give Mr. Gilmore uflrnSr. instead of the streets in the Reservation being passablr and sanitary, as they now are, We would have these conditions reversed. There is no doubt that in certain cases that this law works a hardship, but, even so, We fail to recognize in MT. Gil mOrc's plan proper or correct sOlufiOn

If ShacklefOrd had not conf dence in Gilmore, would he divide his appoiniive power with him?
Valdez daily prospector., 1912-06-18

Mir. Gilmore is said Co be tact
 ful. This we admit. He did not mention the name of a Republi- can presidential candidate, nor did he say what the Republican party stood for nationally, being tactful enough to know that the organization with which Inc is al- lied is extremely unpopular in Alaska and is directly responsi- ble for the arrested condition of it's development during Inc past

RooSEVELT'S DECLARATION.

tOn the fourth of Maroh next, ! shall have served three and one- half years, and this three and one-haIf years constitute my first term. The wise custom which limits the presidents to two terms regard the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will be a candidate or accept an- other nomination for president" Three years later, on December fl, 1907, he reiterated his dec- laration in these words:
 "I have not changed and shall not change the decision thus an- nounced."
Valdez daily prospector., 1912-06-18

Mir. Gilmore was very kind in enlightening us as to the fact that Alaska is a big place, having large rivers and high mountains. We hadn't thought of the matter before in that light, but now that our eyes have been opened, we would suggest that he start a Kindergarten in some one of our growing towns.

After all has been said and done Mir. Gilmore represents the party of Roosevelt and Taft, and must necessarily stand for their atti- tude on Alaskan issues, other wise he will be at variance with his own party. He is the nominee of a convention which endorsed Taft and was wholly dominated by Shackleford and all that Shacklefordism stands for. Wa ter will not rise above it's own source.

WALK SIX MILES
ON RIVER ICE FLOES

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Jan. 16.--Ie is no
oyster or fish yarn but a cold fact,
particularly cold, that the ice-bound
oystermen at Port Mahon could walk
out to channel, a distance of six
miles, In the Delaware Bay yester-
day morning on ice.
No such condition has prevailed
here in twenty years and this did
not last long, for yesterdays north
westerly wind soon parted the ice in
great foes and started il on the move
toward Jersey
The oystermen are "wintering" fine
and there is no such thing as suffer
ing among them, except when they
happen to be caught out, which is not
now possible. They have their cosy
cabins, plenty Of the country's good
things to eat and cooks who can flap
over an egg or a fiapjack as we'll as
cook hot rolls and pies and a savory
pot roast They get plenty Of exer-
else, too.

Some were disappointed in this, he

walked over was as fine as any btu
lithic or asphalt pavement.
Mr.. Henry replied that it was true
that this very expensive stretch
would be only from twelve TO thirty
feet wide, but that improved drive

by horsemen, would be constructed on

Walter Morris declared that it was
