 Whether saloons are a detrimert a d communitv. whether they are rn influence Io- .'

Rut In all fairness to the community it is a question which should be settled by tn" community and not by q congress thousands of miles away.

No, the gods who rule were not satisfied with the misery that they had wrought. The people were. not made uncomfortable enough
 And SD the little ginx that sits up aItft and whispers trouble into the ears of rulers dug up law made for the people of Nome by Il set of men who know no more about the condi- titns of Nome and the frontier of the north than they do about-well about great many other things that they ponder over and decide from the com fortable lobbys and offices in Wash ington.
 In certain communities there could h. no objection to closing grog shops on Sunday. In some communities they .u" closed all the time, but the dues- tion of closing them is left to tho pco- pla who are affected by the places and not to someone thousands of miles away who knows absolutely nothing of otal conditions
 It Is not to the enforcement of 1he law that we object to. The law is on the statute books and the federal of fictrs are sworn to uphold the laws ana would be culpably negligent if they neglected to so do The fault lies not with the officials, they can but do their duty as it is laid down for them and as they see it. But we do take very serious objection to a law made for this country by people who kE'w absolutely nothcing about local conditions.
 The saloon in Alaska occupies an entirely different relation to the com munity than in any other part of the country. It is not primarily q place for man to go to drink himself into state of beastly intoxication when he wants to forget real or fancicd troubles. It is not the resort of thugs and degcncr- ates and conspirators against the state.
 In the northland the saloon takes the place of the hotel the club or at times. even. the rescue house for way worn travellers over the winter trails.
 Many a man has struggled into town through q ragging blizzard in the mid dle of the night. half frozen and with dogs exhausted and where all else was closed has driven dog team and all into the lighted warmth of the open saloon where he found the heat and nourishment that saved his life

To get the best results, the ground
should be as moist as the harvesting

cutting. In this way the growth will
be but slightly checked.
