among those who have been depen h. dent upon the corporations for their appointment to the bench. and that they have been paying their obli- gations with their decisions.
 Mir. Taft is so concerned for fear the people may influence the jud- ges, that he delivers a broad-side against popular government, and even credits himself with courage in making the attack. Has it come to this that his distrust of the people is a qualification for the pres idency? Ought the people to trust a man when the man does not trust them? It is an insult to the in telligence of the masses to think that they would so degrade them selves as to desire servants who are independent of the majority or of all the people" A judge ought to have the moral courage to do justice as between the parties to a suit, but no public servant ought to be able to dispplay, with impunity contempt for the deliberate judg. ment of those whose servant he is MT Taft is rapidly gaining distinc tion as the most ultra of the re. actionaries.-The Commoner.

REGISTER.

The registration books at the city hall will be closed next Saturday and those who have not by that time talk en the trouble to have their names in scibed thereon will net be entitled to vote at the municipal election which takes place a week from to- morrow
 Any grown person with a vote who does not take an interest in the af- fairs of the town in which he lives, and is unwilling to take the trouble to help as best he can in securing good municipal government, is pret- ty much of dead one" and, as a rule, the town would be better without him. For, regardless of the fact that he is usually one of the drones, he can almost always be counted on to be in the front rank Of the knockers.
 Take few minutes off from your work today and call on the city clerk. Let us have vote this year that will be true indication to the rest of Alaska of the size of our population and of the interest We take in our city

considering it's length, that has teen discovered, and it should more than compensate for any decrease in the operations on the elder creeks. The prospects are. also, that the Hot Springs district will almost double its output of last year The Bigelow workings will likely be even more productive than last year and the Niggerhead will certainly show bigger return as a result of the larger operations there
 And il need not be a matter of surprise, if. by the close of the placer season, the quartz mines of the camp will have added to the out put by a quarter of a million dol lars This figure may be consider ably increased if the Rhoads, News boy, TolOyana. Friedrichs and other properties that have been consider ably developed maintain their pres ent premise.
 Altogether the prospects of the camp were never brighter and an even better summer than last year may be confidently predicted.

According to notice inserted in he Times yesterday there is 10 be meeting held today for the pur- pose of Ominating a ticket for the councilmauic election which is to be held tomorrow week.
 With such an exceptionally good ticket as has already been put in the field at a public meeting it is hard to figure out what good pur- pose can be accomplished by the m eting today. The men selected to run are all entitled to respect and confidence, four of them hay ing already served on the council and acquitted themselves to the en- tire satisfaction of practically the entire community.
 And there never was a time in the city's history when a good conser- Fative council was more necessary than ar present.

NEARLY NUDE DANGER
 SHOCKS CAPITALS 400

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. The appearance of a French dancer clad chiefly in flaming red garter at a Sunday cafe chautant given by MT. and Mrs. Littauer of New York is interesting Washington society just now.
 The beautiful ballroom of the Lit tauer residence, which was formerly occupied by the Bellamy Storers, and is filled with priceless art treas ures and curios, was transformed for the occasion into typical French cafe scene. The guests, men and women, including many of the most prominent members of Washington society, were seated about small tables when the petite dancer flashed through the con- pany.
 She kissed her hands to the dis tinguished audience and began a step that put the devil dance, the tur- key trot and the bunny hug to blush
 Had the dance occurred at a public dance hall every one would have been pinched," one of the guests explained today. "As the danseuse whirled che sang snatches of song in French that greatly amused the guests who understood her. It so enraptured a prominent guest that when she finished he beckoned her to his table, where she sat on his knee and drank from his glass.
 Meanwhile his wife from sur rounding table was watching this little byplay with a very strained smile.
 Avoiding his wife's eye, the reck- less husband still held the dancer. Finally, however, he released her and then another song and dance began.
 "In typical French fashion the dancer passed from table to table, caressing and drinking from the glasses of whatsoever guest took her fancy. The wives smiled, but were evidently i'll at ease. At last, without a word, the dancer threw her arms about a man high in off cial life and gave him a resounding kiss. Up he sprang and they danc- ed an impromptu waltz that won much applause, but also much com- ment on it's daring

CHORAL CLUB IS
 ORGANIZED

The Fairbanks Choral club was or ganized at a meeting held at liar monie hall on Friday evening and from the enthusiasm manifested it may be inferred that it has a sue cessful career ahead of it. The formation of the club was complet- ed under the auspices of the liar monie society, the special commit tee which had the matter in hand being composed of E. H. Mack. P. C. Rettig, w. G. Rustemeyer. Richard Schweitzer, Lipman Simson and Will liam Kraemer. w. G. Nolan was chosen director of the club and it was decided that for the present the practice meetings will be held each Monday evening.
 With regard to the procuring of music for the practices a committee consisting of Mrs. John Clark, Miss Clara c. Held, and E. H. Mack was appointed to confer with the direc- tor. The expenses of the club are being borne by the Harmonic socie- ty.
 The following members joined on Friday night:

THE POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION

As Mir Dooley once remarked, the
 constitution may not follow the flag,
 but the supreme court follows the
 election returns. The decision up-
 holding the initiative and referen-
 dunn, and declaring that direct leg
 islation is not opposed to a re
 publican form of government" must
 be accepted as another evidence of
 the power of public opinion
 It was not many months ago that
 Mir. Taft refused statehood to Ari-
 zona because its constitution pro- yided for the initiative. referendum and recall In giving his reasons the president made bitter attack up
 on the reforms as being subversive
 of representative government, and exposing officials to gusts of pop ular passion" and the terrorism of
 the mob"
 MT. Taft was judge for many years, and it is his confessed ambi-
 tion 10 sit upon the supreme bench As attorney and jurst he is given high rating; therefore. when he at
 tackled direct leg station. it was not only as chief executive, but as a lawyer and judge. Also let it be remembered that he has appointed majority of the supreme court justices. and that il is hardly likely that he selected men of different views, temperament and position. Right on the heels of MT. Tafts eXcoriatiOn of the Arizona cCnstitu- ton, however California gave over whelming majorities to the initia- tive, referendum and recall. and all over the country direct legislation activities were given new life. Wis
 consin, Florida, North Dakota. Ne braska, Washington and Wyoming forced their legislatures to prepare direct legislation amendments for SuphliSSIOI al the lSlZ elections. the people of Illinois voted for the re- form by four to one, and in Ohio delegates to constitutional con- Vention were elected under pledge to incorporate direct legislation. In those states already possessed Of the initiative and referendum south Dakota, Oregon Montana Colorado, Missouri, Maine, Oklahoma and Arkansas-ac action was taken to
 protect their rights. and nearly all
 were represented at the trial in Washington.
 May this tidal wave of public sent
 iment not be somewhat responsible
 for decision that legitimizes in sidious vagaries," and deals a body blow to President Taft himself?- Denver News.

CONTEST WON BY HALL

Bryant Hall. of Fairbanks, and Ed Davis, of Graehl, are the winners of the Citizen ad contest of last week. The sum of s2.5O has been awarded to each.
 The note left with the First Ma tional bank, and opened on Saturday at noon, read:
 Error occurs in Simson's ad. prices arranging should be prices ranging"
 Very considerable interest was taken in the contest last week. near ly twenty answers being turned in during the first hour. Half of these were received before 2:O5. and both of the winning answers were received just as the clock struck 2, one of them at Halls bookstore and the other at McIn- tosh & kubon's drugstore At least one dozen persons had the correct answer, but like the historical par don, they came too late
 The Pirates ad was the stumbling block for half a dozen and Suters, Peoples, Gordon's, Mills, and Whites were all thought by several to con tain an error.
 Another g. goes the same way this week. Better get your an swers in as soon as possible after ? o'clock today.

SELF-GOVERNME

President Taft is reported as giy- ing deliverance to a very radical statement ln speech recently de llvered in New York. Here is what he is said to have said: There are those who do not believe that all people are fitted for popular govern ment The fact is We know they are not. Some of Us don't dare say so, but l do'
 The president then went on to speak of the protection of the jud- lciary from the recall. He said We are called upon now. we of the bar to say whether We are going to protect the institution of the judiciary and continue it inde- pendent of the majority or of all the people"
 What shall we say to this denial of the capacity of the people for self-government? How shall we characterize this argument of SUD- erior intelligence and patriotism? We of the bar" he says, are called upon to protect the judiciary" and continue it independent of the majority or of all the people," Couldn't the president leave the task of making the judiciary in- dependent of the people to the at torneys for the predatory wealth? They have been laboring diligently to make the judiciary independent of the people for some years, but why should the president step down from the presidency where he is supposed to represent all the people to join the bar" in protecting the judic- iary from the people whom the judges are presumed to serve. If the president has not closed his eyes to information easily obtain able, he knows that the demand for the recall is due to the fact that many of our judges, while in- dependent of the people, have not been independent of the predatory interests. The anxiety that is now being manifested for the indepen- dsnce of the judiciary is fundamental
