SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR.

Get married and live to ripe old
age" is the advice Of the American
Medical association: and it is sup
ported by census figures. DR.. Trask.
Assistant U. s. Surgeon General. says
it, lis automatic that married men live
longer than single ones. In the 1900
registration area. comprising thirty
eight per cent of the population, there
were ninety four deaths to each 10, =.
900 unmarried males between the ages
Of fifteen and forty. while among mar
ried men the rate was eighty one.
From the ages of forty five to sixty
four more than thirty-three unmarried
men died to every twenty married.
Nor do these figures hold good for
men alone. Married women, in spite
of the danger of motherhood live long
er than spinsters. DR.. Trask sums up
the reason with this pertinent phrase:
Regular living and something to live
for"
SO if you are unmarried. take warn
ing il you love life.-Ex.

STEALING A MANS GOOD NAME

When is was announced that there
was no statute under which David
Lamar could be punished for imper-
sonating members of congress people
were very generally surprised. The
offense was so grievous that laymen
naturally expected retribution would
be swift and certain. The Cummins
bill, which provides heavy fines AMI
Imprisonment for such offenses. will be
given immediate public approval, and
there ought to be no trouble in passing
It.
The forger can steal only n mans
money, and usually but little Of that
The impersonator robs him of his good
name and by employing the telephone
or the telegraph runs little risk
No public man up to this time has
had any defense against the scoundrel
who impersonated him. and many I'M
just suspicious of honorable public
With the Cummins bill once on the
statute books beautiful opportunity
will be given the courts to deal sum-
marily with the first violator and to
protect the public men who honestly
serve their constituents from lying and
malicious detractors intent only on
their own profit-Ex.

official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 20, 1918.

Another story, taken from a Valdez
paper and published in the Alaska
news column of today's issue, tells
that the court has ordered the money
to he paid to John Tieberg. This
story was sent to the Valdez paper by
telegram from Nome and is one more
example of the rotten souls that can
exist In some bodies. In all proba
bility the sender of such lies would bs
the first to spout about the injustice
and lies Of others and the spotless
honor of him and some class that he
might be affiliated with. Liars are
always hypocrits for otherwise they
could be too easily found out. But,
there is hardly any use In saying much
except to remind the people of Nome
that kilograms are constantly being
sent from this camp knocking it and
lying about it generally.
1t would be also well to draw atten-
ton Of newspaper publishers in other
Alaskan towns to the fact so that they
might be on their guard and chiefly
for that purpose this Is written.

Dooley or someone says that ora
tory is a fine art If you don't get too
much of 1t from the same party. Us
ually in small communities audiences
are compelled to listen over and over
again to "the same party" and the
result is that even good speaker il
no longer appreciated at his proper
value because his style becomes
too well known that person lis
tening to him loses his taste as he
loses his taste for cigars by smoking
too many of them. 1t is just the same
way with most entertainments of all
kinds. Sometimes we know man
and his style so well that we forget
what he says or does and we usually
comment on his speech or anything
else by telling, not how he said it or
what he said. but why he said it.
For this reason a public function in
small towns is often a good deal of a
bore. The speakers may be good ones
and may have good deal to say and
may be able to say it we'll but who
the deuce wants to listen to what any :
one has to say IL we see him every
day? His voice is the same as it is
when he asks you to have a drink
and his gestures are about the same

perhaps the reason why men strive
after simplicity as the years advance,
especially when dealing with those

Nevertheless. the parcels post law

from the once arrogant corporations

Now the Interstate Commerce Com

And still the business of the port
grows. The records of the custom
house show that during October. 1913,
san Francisco did the biggest export
business in the history of the port.
Tonnage arrivals were also the heav-
lest on record.
Exports from this port during Oc-
tober amounted to s12.677,537, an in
crease of s1.297.ss3 over October of
last year. The tonnage Increase over
October, 1912. was 4s.057 tons.
This increase was not due to any
sudden capsizing of the horn OF
plenty. but is the outcome of a steady
growth that there Is every reason to
believe will be maintained with in
creasing vigor. The shipping of the
port is already in advance of the IA
cilities for handling it with economi-
cal dispatch, but this situation will
be relieved by the completion of a
number of large wharves now almost
ready for service.
Tonnage now on the way to San
Francisco is four times greater than
it was at this time last year. and by
this time next year all previous rec
ords will be submerged under tidal
wave of trade. and the world will be

Removal Demand of New
York Granted by New
Hampshire Governor

CONCORD, Nov. s.--Harry K Thaw
has been ordered extradited to New
York. The decision of the governor
was announced at 1:05 this morning.
1t was written. and copies were
handed to Thaw's lawyers. to Thaw
himself. to Bernard L. Jacobs. repre-
senting Jerome. and to the newspaper
men.
Governor Felker refused to COM
ment on his action beyond referring
his inquirers TO his written decision.
This decision designates Sheriff Horn
beck of Duchess county TO take
Thaw back to New York. Sheriff
Hornbeck was named in the requisi-
ton papers fled by Jerome.
WILL NOT RETURN TO ASYLUM
The decision handed down today
does not mean that Thaw will be re-
turned Immediately to Matteawan. He
has pending in the United States dis
trict court petition for a writ of
habeas corpus. 1t is improbable that
the hearing will be held for at least
three weeks.
The extraditien order was granted
in response to requisition papers from
Governor Glynn OF New York, fled
by former District Attorney Jerome
of New York city.
Governor Felker bases his extradi-
tion order on written opinion from
Attorney General futile. The gov
ernor's decision Is strictly in accord
with interstate comfy.
THAw ISSUES STATEMENT
Thaw apparently was not disturbed
and issued the following statement:
1T has been my opinion that Gov
ernor Felker would order my extra
dition. All people concerned thought
so and naturally was moved by their
belief 1t is also my opinion that
Governor Felker did what he believed
was right. / think he merely con-
sidered whether the documents were
technically correct and that he did
not inquire into the motive which in
spires the persecution of me.
Il am not disheartened, and my
strongest hopes lie now in the federal
courts"
