A FLORIDA EDITORS OPINION

-Four years ago, after Taft was
elected President, we said in an edi-
torial that he had been elected by
the Catholic vote, which was thor
oughly proven by the fact that in
every State where the Catholics had
numerical strength Taft received the
electoral vote. The same vote will
go to him this time. He is sure of
New York and Massachusetts, SO the
sooner the Democratic party ceases
to hirt with those States the better.
The Knights of Columbus number
over 100000, and the oath they take
IS to serve the church first and the
State must take second place in
their affections. While we send mis-
sionaries abroad to convert Catho-
lies, 100000 catholics are coming
into this country from Italy, Spain
and Portugal each year. We are
against any church, all churches.
VINO try to bring about a union of
church and State. The knights of
Columbus is an organized army
ready to obey the orders of the Pope,
ready to turn their guns on the
national flag if need be to advance
the power of their church. If that
is the glove they throw down there
are 6O,0Q0,000 liberty loving Ameri-
cans who will rally under the stand
ard of the Knights of Liberty to de-
lend the State and flag.-Fort Lau-
derdale (Fla.) Sentinel.

says, it was a momentous occasion
for him, one which he approached
with great misgiving. He saw in
his decision the loss of his seat in
the Senate, his retirement from pub
lie life, perhaps in discredit and dis
grace. He was utterly fearful of the
outcome.
Yet it is plain as a pikestaff now
that Delivers espousaI of the pro-
gressives' cause was not only the
most creditable act of his political
life, but also the most popular. Had
he been seeking some way to insure
his continuance in public life, he
could not have hit upon a better
one.
1t was his chance of a lifetime in
another way. Those memorable de-
bates on the tariff in the Senate dur
ing 1909-when Deliver and La
toilette and a few other progress
sives went deeply into a study of the
various schedules and showed so
clearly the ignorant and unscientific
basis upon which the duties had
been determined-sh0Wed, among
other things, the absolute hollow
ness of the traditional pretense that
Mr.. Aldrich was an encyclopedia of
knowledge in connection with tariff
questions-those debates brought
out unsusRected qualities in the late
Senator from Iowa, proved him COM
petent to think deeply and to reason
wisely, and gave to the American
people their first sight of him as a
statesman rather than an easygoing
politician and popular orator. His
speeches then in both substance and
expression are worthy of comparison
with the best American and English
models and they gave him a stand
ing among the thinking people of the
country which nothing he had done
prior to that time could have given
him.
Yet he took hold of this, his one
transcendent opportunity, doubling
ly, fearfuliy and with no confidence
in the Observation-Disclosures Evening
Sun.

THE LEADING PROBLEMS O
HUMAN WARFARE.

Of the Worlds Purity Federation
Conference just closed here the
Louisville Herald sp1endidly says:
Not less than $4,000 young women
and girls are annually procured for
the white slave traffic in the United
States.
Not less than $4,000 men and wo4
men are engaged in procuring and
living on the earnings of these young
women and girls.
Not less than 100000 women and
girls. are engaged in prostitution in
this country at the present time.
These terrible statements are TAX
en- from the authoritative report of
the Chief of the Investigation Bu-
reau of the Federal Department of
Justice.
Consider that word procured"
1t means that $4,000 virtuous
women and girls are tricked, be-
trayed or driven into lives of i'm
morality by designing agents of the
vice industry every year.
Consider the fact that $4,000
men and women are living in more
or less ease from the earnings of
those whom they have duped or
dragged into prostitution. Sex has
been made merchandise; a highly
profitable industry in which the vir-
ture Of our girls is the raw mate
rial and the prostitute the finished
product. From it's revenues mag

GALLERIES IN NATIONAL CON-
MENTIONS.

The Springfield Republican is in-,
clined to think "the gallery privilege
enjoyed by the public is one source
of the madness of national conven-
tons Any deliberative body" it
says, that subjects itself to the
frenzled influence, the crazy inter-
ruptions and the general bad man
ners of 10000 spectators does it's
best to commit suicide, and the won
der is that the system works at all.
Experience, no doubt, has trained
delegates to let the galleries howl
without being much impressed them
selves, but it is all very absurd, very
idiotic and very dangerous, The
delegates themselves act like mani
acs in their performances over their
faYorite candidate, and this reacts on
the galleries. The art of making a
demonstration in a national con-
Vention-such as were made at Bal
timore for those to be placed in
nominatiOn-has become so well and
widely understood that no one needs
to be told what mockery an hours
bowling and marching around the
hall really is. Breaking the cheer
ing record has become merely
question Of careful organization and
a stop watch. In this business the
managers use the public in the gall
leries for vocal effects and the pub
lie gets it's fun in being used as a
syndicated uproar:"
All this has small relation to gov
eminent by the people, of the people,
for the people. The people no more
nominate their own candidates in
this country than they do in Mexico
or the other Latin-American states.
The age of direct nominations in
straightout, well-regulated primaries
is, however, coming, and the conven-
ton system is playing it's farewell

THE BLINDNESS OF DoLLrvER,

In the latest installment published
by Senator La FolEette's autobiogra-

SAVING OUR BOYS.

Under that caption, this article
appeared in The Literary Digest of
June 81:
The American nation is described
by Tom Sharkey, the former heavy
weight pugihst, as devoted to the
development of muscle. Our school
boys have learned, it appears, that
to do this they can not drink and
smoke. SO drinking and smoking
are on the wane, says this man of
muscles, who is certainly a compe-
tent witness, since his income at
present is derived, he tells us, from
the liquor trade. The London
Standard is our authority for these
views. In this journal Mr.. Sharkey
thus enlaFges:
Everybody in America seems to
want to be an athlete. A fellow can
not be an athlete and drink at the
same time, and the consequence is
that lots of pubic-houses are going
out OF business. notice in my own
place that there is not near as much
whisky drunk as there was a year
or so ago. People who drink make
1t beer. 1t is not because they can
not afford whisky Or wine, but be-
cause they are afraid strong a1co-
holic drinks will spoil them as ath-
Ietes.
"The thing which is doing the
most damage to the liquor trade is
schoolb0y athletics. SchooIboys
everywhere in America now are be-
ing brought UP to be athletes. Every
schooIhoy has training ideas ham
mered into him constantly. He is
taught that he can not be an athlete
and drink and smoke, and SO he
leaves tobacco and alcohol alone,
Then he gets into the habit, and
when he is grown up the habit sticks.
In the Old days the university under
graduates used to come to town af-
ter big football or baseball game
and drink everything in sight. They
do not do it any more, because the
universities are full of this athletic
idea, and the undergraduates have
no use for chap who drinks whisky
and gets out of condition.
''SchooIboy athletics are costing
me lot of money every day, but I
am for it just the same, It is going

Platform of the Guardians
of Liberty.

We, members of the order of the
Guardians of Liberty, in National
Convention assembled, anmpelled by
the conviction that the greatest treas
ure possessed by the citizens of these
United States is that of civil and
religious liberty, and with an earnest
intent to encourage and promote a
deeper, stronger, and more active 10y
atty to the fundamental ideas of the
founders of this Republic, do declare
the following to be our
Declaration of Principles
First-We unite as a non-secta-
rian, non-partisan moral force, to pro-
mote pure patriotism and a sacred
regard for the welfare of our coun-
try. 1t is our belief that every citi-
zen should hold sacred his civil duties
and responsibilities, and it is our
desire and purpose that every Office
OF the nation, State, and municipality,
snail be held by men of ability, integ-
rlty, and pure patriotism. We hold
that no citizen is true patriot who
owes superior temporal allegiance to
any power, above that of his obliga-
ton to the principles of the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
Second-As the fathers established,
so are we resolved to maintain, the
complete separation of Church and
State.
Third-We deny the right of any
political or ecclesiastical organization
to manipulate or control the sove.
reign citizenship of our people, or to
dispose of their rights and privileges
for political Office or power, and we
are determined that every citizen
shall exercise those rights and priv7>
leges unmolested, answerable only to
his conscience and his God.
Fourth-We unite to protest and
preserve the free institutions of our
country, especially our public educa-
tional system, against any foreign or
menacing influence, and we particu-
larly protest against the diversion of
any public funds or lands to any reli-
gious purpose whatever.

Too Good for This World

Albert was a solemn-eyed, spiritual looking child. Nurse" he said one day, leaving his blocks and laying his hand gently on her knee, "nurse, is this Gods day?"
 "No, dear," said his nurse. "This is not Sunday. It is Thursday"
 "I'm so sorry" he said sadly, and went back to his blocks.
 The next day and the next, in his serious manner, he asked the same question, and the nurse tearfully said to the cook, "That child is too good for this world"
 On Sunday the question was repeated and the nurse with a sob in her voice, said, "Yes, Lambie. This is Gods day."
 "Then where is the funny paper?" he demanded.

Lost in the Mountains

John Shattuck, Dell Linscott and Leslie Oliver, all of Juneau, are lost in the mountains back of Sheep Creek, and all efforts to find them have so far proven fruitless. Hundreds of men have secured the country, tramping through underbrush and climbing to the tops of high peaks, but in vain. The three boys are as completely lost as if the earth had opened up and swsl' lowed them. Many fear that they are dead, either from exposure or through falling from the brink of some steep precipice. AS day after day goes by and they are not found, the fear be- comes almost certainty.
 Last Thursday morning the three boys went by boat to Sheep Creek for days hunt up near the Golden Currie group of claims at the top of the noun tains back of the Sheep Creek basin. They were armed with shot guns and rifles, but carried only small amount of provisions, as they expected to re- turn to the bIach before nightfall, and follow it to Juneau. Night came and they did not return, and the next morning friends began to worry, fear ing that they had become bewildered and lost in the heavy fog that settled down on the hills Thursday afternoon, A small party went to look for them Friday, but returned batfled. Since that the number of searchers has stead fly increased until hundreds of men are now thus employed. Many of them are experienced woodsmen and know the country we'll. Captains have been appointed to direct the energies of vol unteers, supply camps have been To- cated and a systematic search of the whole country is going on. Gas boats daily patrol the shore line all the way from Juneau to the glaciers at the head of Taku inlet, to carry supplies to the different camps and at the same time hoping to give aid to the lost boys should they have wandered down to the beach.
 Most of the searchers are volunteers and are inspired simply by that spirit of brotherhood which is so strong in this Northland. As further incen tive, Henry Shattuck, a brother of one of the lost boys, has offered reward of $500 for the recovery of his brother or his body. Mir. B. M. Behrends, the Ju. neau banker, has also offered reward of $500 for the recovery of the three boys. Yesterday Acting Governor w. l.. Distin wired to the commanding of ficer at Ft. Seward, and we understand that a squad of twenty soldiers, in com. mand of lieutenant, are coming down on the boat Peterson.

Alaska Coal

The cancellation of the Cunningham coal claims, after long and bitter struggle, may perhaps be said to prove that they were frsudulently entered. It appears that in most every case the coal claimants have been actuated by a desire to hog everything in sight. They have refused to endorse or accept any thing in the way of a compromise. They have even opposed the Shoot bill, which the "Coal Age" characterized as "An act to validate fraudulent claims in Alaska" As result of their most arbitrary demands, Mir. J.F. Callbreath, secretary of the American Mining Con- gress, has given them up in disgust. In the course of a recent letter to some of the claimants at Seattle, MT. Callbreath said:
 "My present mood favors the old belief that Alaska will never be united in anything but opposition. It is the easiest thing in the world to do noth- ing. It Is very hard thing to secure the favorable action of congress for an agreed program and supported by all those who have right to be heard, who are affected by the legislation. It. is absolutely impossible to secure con gressioual action, where those who are interested cannot agree. and are un. able to compromise with those who have distinctly adverse views"
 As 8 result of their constant quarrel ing the coal claimants in Alaska will no doubt lose both their claims and the thousands of dollars which they have deposited with the local land office.

Alaska History

Alaska was acquired from Russia by the treaty of cession of March 30, 1867, the United States paying therefor the sum of S7,2O0,OO0. The laws relating to customs, commerce and navigation were extended here in 1868, aud United States troops were stationed at Sitka for about decade. No local govern ment of any kind was instituted until March F, 1884, when congress passed an organic act, entitled, "An act pro- viding a civil government for Alaska"
 That act provided for governor, the establishment of district court of general jurisdiction and the appoint ment of a judge and of court officials. The act provided that the officers should be appointed by the president, as in all of the territories. From time to time the various United States statutes have been extended to Alaska, and many special laws passed by con- gress applicable to Alaska only.
 In 1899 congress passed criminal code and in 1900 a civil code for Alaska, both drawn largely from and very sim liar to the codes of Oregon and the western states and territories.

Tom O'Donnell was last week found to be insane and was taken to the sauitarium at Mt. Tabor, Ore. His mental condition is no doubt the result of a general breakdown in health, and his Douglas friends fear that he will not recover. He was B years of age on the 25th of last April, and up to a few months ago his life has been a vigor. ous one. He came to Douglas many years ago, helped build some of the first buildings in the town, but after wards wandered away to the westward, where he endured many hareships in following the life of hunter and pros pector. Since his return to Douglas he has not been idle, but has worked al most necessarily in all kinds of weath- CT. Exposure has finally conquered the iron constitution of the man and the past months have been filled with pain and suffering. Honest, faithful and true friend, it grieves us to say goodbye to old Tom.

Speaking before the Seattle chamber of commerce, Col. W. T. Perkins in urging Seattle business men to support the Alaska bureau of the chamber of commerce declared that one reason why the Alaska trade was worth so much for that city, or any other city which cares to go after the business, was that the Alaskans purchased more per capita than any other white men in the world. He declared that many Seattle firms which work hard for business in Seattle and Washing ton, spending large sums of money ad vertising and exploiting their goods, would do better to carry on an aggres- sive advertising campaign in Alaska, where millions of dollars worth of sup. plies were sold every year.
