 Custom seems to have decreed that upon induction into office the Cover nor of a State or Territory shall de- liver an inaugural address setting forth, or at least outlining, to some extent. the policies which he will adopt during the administration of the office to which he has been called.
 "While the powers of the Governor of Alaska are somewhat limited, there is much that he may be enabled to do, by way of recommendation to and CO., operation with the Congress, the Ma. tional administration and the Terri torial Legislature, whose first session ended a few days ago, and during which, so far as have been able to determine, not only was goodly quota of wholesome legislation enact ed, but foundation was laid for the guidance of future Legislative As semblieS

Old Order Changes.

"A change of National administra- tion necessarily brings some changes in the National policies as well as in the administrative offices, and l am deeply sensible of the fact that with the inauguration of a Democratic ad- ministration at the National capital the old order has changed and a new one has taken place. As Aliaskans we are vitally interested in the change, for whatsoever shall be the outcome whether the policies of the party now in power shall meet the eXpecta- tions of the American people or not they will be those which must be ac- cepted for the ensuing four years, it is submitted as the best thought Of the dominant party.
 And while we as intelligent citi' zens of the last of the continental ter ritories are deeply interested in the general welfare of the Nation, naturally our greatest concern centers in our own great commonwealth. Many of us have given the best years of our lives to it; we have fought its battles courageously and with single mind edness of purpose; we have been in stant in season and out of season serving what We believed would make

MRS. MATTE CHEsBoRoUGH
 IS DENIED DIVORCE Judge Williams Disnnises Her Com piaint on Both Grounds Alleged.

In the contested divorce case of Hattie T. Chesboroush of North Ston- ington vs. Lloyd Chesbor0ugh of Ston- ington, which has been on trial here in the superior court, Judge William H. Williams gave his decision on Tues day dfsTnissing the complaint and de- nyIng the divorce, which Mrs. Ches- borough sought for from her husband
 The following is the memorandum of decision:
 The trouble between the plaintiff and the defendant her husband, seems to have had it's inception in the sus- picion of the plaintiff of improper conduct of her husband with Mrs. Norman in the incubator room" in May, 1908. Prior to that morning the plaintiff and Mrs. Norman had been very close and intimate friends for at least more than two years (since Mr. and Mrs Norman came to live in the next house the last time). and on this fateful morning Mrs. Norman had eat en breakfast with the plaintiff and her husband
 The evidence does not satisfy me either that the defendant and Mrs. Norman were together in the 'incu- batOr room on the morning in ques ton in May 1908 or that the plaintiff had sufficient reason to suspect that they were there. It is apparent to me- from the evidence. that the troubles which occurred thereafter between the plaintiff and the defendant were most " provoked by her unjust insinuatiOns and accusations of infidelitN on the part of her husband with Mrs, Nor man.
 I do not find that Mrs Norman's character or reputation were called in question until some considerable time after the plaintiff had made known her suspicious. and such crit icisms as were afterward made re- f1ecting unfavorab1y upon such repu- tation and character had their inspira- tion in such suspicious.
 The evidence does not justify a finding and I do not find that the de fendant ever committed adultery with Mrs. Norman.
 While ii is apparent that the plain tiff and the defendant had many con troverSies concerning the defendant and Mrs Norman. in which the de- fendant used improper language to the plaintiff I do not find that under the circumstances the conduct of the de fendant amounted to intOlerable cru city.
 The issues are found in favor of the defendant. and the plaintiffs com plaint is dismissed.
 Hattie T. vs. Lloyd Chesborough. CWillians)
 The case was the last argued by the late Donald G. Perkins last Friday, the day before he left here on the au- tomobile trip on which the accident occurred which caused the instant death of both himself and his wife. Attorney Perkins appeared for the de- fendant, MT. Chesborough.
