CHOICE OF INCOMES
 IS THOUGHT WISE Good Policies in Selection of
 the Leaders STRENGTHEN WILSON Palmer of Pennsylvania Says That With Wilson as Standard Bearer
 Keystone State Is in the
 Doubtful Column
STRENGTHEN WILSON
By C. E. STEWART

Washington, July 1S.-(Special.)-It is conceded among democratic leaders here that the selection of William F. Me Combs, the young New York lawyer, for field marshal of the democratic presiden- tial forces for the next four months was a wise and prudent move by those who have the destiny of the campaign in their hands.
 Some argued that it would have been better if Governor Wilson had shown a preference for a more seasoned and ex- perienced leader, than the young New Yorker although all are compelled to admit that the latter's work during the was of the highest order and beyond crit icism
 MT. McConbs admits his lack of exper- fence with becoming modesty and invites the cooperation of the more seasoned leaders of the party, and then in a man. Ter clear and forceful. announces his ideas of conducting the fight.
 It is urged by a number of the leaders that Speaker Clark and MT Underwood be given a place upon the campaign com mittee and it is believed that these gen. tlemen, who have expressed a desire to contribute in every way possible to the success of the ticket. will gladly serve in any capacity that Governor Wilson thinks best, and if they serve on the com mittee will add much power and force to it's effectiveness.

Turning to Governor Wilson

It is believed that the widespread re- vulsion of conscientious citizens against political depravity, which MT. Roosevelt has tried with consummate skill to capitalize for his own political advance ment now inures to the advantage of Governor Wilson to the great relief of millions. among whom were many repub- licans who distrust Roosevelt but de- string to rebuke Taft. knew not where else to turn.
 Governor Wilson has demonstrated matchless power of effective appeal to the people generally, and active, enthusi- astic young men in particular. His can- vass will be surcharged with the same electrical and persuasive energy that has characterized his campaign for the nomi- nation.
 Enthusiastic over the prospects for vic tory in November and with desire to come directly under the magnetism of the New Jersey "Schoolmaster" fully POO democrats, representatives and sena- tors. newspaper men and just plain dem ocrats, will make the trip from Wash ington Seagirt on Saturday next and assure Governor Wilson of their firm belief that he will be the next Presi- dent and of their determination to con- tribute everything in their power to that end.
 It is said that this notable gathering of democrats which will be representative of all parts of the country will be highly pleasing to the nominee. and that he has requested Governor Marshall, his running mate, to be present at that time and add to the enthusiasm of the oc- caSion.

It was Ii inches deep all over the exposed parts of the ship and took the crew six days to clear it from the decks.

The trial of the four men lwho were arrester on Pen mock Island a few days ago charged with larceny took place yesterday before Judge Stackpole in the Commissioner Court. All were found guilty except one, a fellow by the name of AliX Nickelson, who was discharged. The arrests were made on July II and in the course of the trial il was shown conclusively that Nick olson arrived in Ketchikan on the previous day. It was found that he was a perfect stranger to the others in the outfit, and had merely been invited to their camp without being in- volved in any of their schemes.
 Ed Walden a young fellow who has been in Alaska only ' weeks was rather led astray by bad companions and not mixed up with the ownership of the outfit at all, hence was senten- ced this morning to serve two months in the II. s. Jail.
 The other two the ringlead- CTS in the party and owners of the boat were Peter Colson and Chas. Anderson. These men were convicted of larceny and resisting an officer. The maxi mum penalty is one year, and Judge Stackpole sentenced each of these men to board at the federal jail for period of six months.

When we hear of the terrible heat and the devastations of the elements coupled with the dying hundreds and suffering millions in the states, we find that in Alaska there are many conditions upon which we may justly congratulate ourselves. They are roasting while we en- joy the mild days and restful nights. Those who are un- fortunate enough To live on the outside cannot realize the scenic grandeur, nor the thous- ands of other joys of living of- fered by the mild and gentle north.
 We who are in the midst of such favOrs sometimes over look the beauties and the good things which are all around us and longingly sigh for what We think would be more gratifying But don't be deceived, yon will want to come back.
