COSTLY CASES.

The public seems to be quite thor oughly united on one subject. They are opposed to the government set tling neishborhood quarrels at Sl5,0O0 to $20.0O0 per quarrel. If Mrs. Jones throws a pan of dishwater over into Mrs. Browns yard. or if Jones heaves a stone against the ribs of one of Browns dogs. they say it is not worth quite $20.000 to find out whether or not the Joneses have a legal right to throw water and heave stones. no matter how willing the defendant may be to spend his money For it should not be lost sight of, that the defend ant in a criminal action in Alaska must look out for himself or go to jail
 The Times suggests a remedy In an editorial they advise the salary system for commissioners. instead of the percentage system now in vogue.
 y paying a salary, honest and compe- tent men should be more easily se- cured for the offices of commissioner. they say.
 It is hardly supposed that a com missioner in the smaller communities intends to rely solely on the revenue of his office for a living When he does so. it is prima facie evidence that he Is a petty grafter. In such a case. he would of course be interest ed in encouraging strife.
 On the other hand. were such a man paid a salary. he would perhaps err as greatly the other way. He would issue warrants when it pleased

AGAIN a great" Outside magazine has taken upon itself the task of de- nouncing all agitators. In accordance with some weirdly wonderful brand of economies it states that times were prosperous: the asitator appeared and immediately hunger and trouble en- sued. The perusal of history reveals to us no times prosperous enough to fllay discomfort, to render useless the honest. fearless aeitator. These good times were not the age of Soc rates, Christ, Wat Tyler or Lincoln. II certainly is not today. The aeita- tor does not always know what is wrong and less often still can he tell you a remedy for the evil but of one thing you may be sure: Where the agitator thrives. wrong exists, and the quicker you find cure, the sooner he will leave you in peace.

IT is better and really easier for the government to own public utili ties rather than to try to regulate them.

MES. White people arrested num-
bered 429 and there were $50 colored
people arrested.
The increase in the number OF ar
rests is due primarily to the steadily
increasing population, not to the ex-
cessive heat or because the citizens of

ant of the law. During the CORE
spending month of last year the ar
rests numbered 1901. Last August
