 They can pass mining laws and other laws that will be operative unless especially forbidden by con gress, and they can pass resolutions which will be morally binding upon congress to affirm and ratify.
 Distinction and honor cannot be conferred upon any member of a legislative body. The votes of the people but confers an opportunity for them to attain respect. Honor is achieved only through just and upright actions, through patriotic service for the common good, There is no glory in belonging to the Al aska legislature unless the mem Der does something Of value to the country. The politician and ward healer who uses the office to worm himself into a mercenary job, will have his day of brief and sel- fish enjoyment, but in the end, it were better that a millstone had been tied to his neck and he had been cast into the sea.
 Alaska is particularly watching this first legislature. We want to EnOw what our members are doing. So far, a number of them have sought the opinions of their con- stituents and have already secured the gist of a number of required laws which they are ready to pre- sent to the body for enactment. Ons of them has even attended the Oregon legislature for the purpose Of familiarizing himself with not only the machinery of legislative ac- tion, but Co acquire information and data which will be useful in incor- porating into the laws of this terri tory.
 Then there are the other kind, who have been giving their atten- ton to landing plums of appoint ment under the incoming demo- cratic administration, with no thought of the duties that the peO- pie have elected them to perform. Verify, such shall have their reward but the wages of graft Is political death.

A few others meet yearly. but the majority, like Alas ka. meeting once in two years
 There has been considerable ridi- cgIe ot ths lack of powers by this IegisIature. especially from the sour.e that has always opposed any form ot self government, but as the question becomes better under stood the knowledge Is developing frat the Alaska legislature has as much power as any legislature has ever had. the curtailment of which ras always been a source of annoy ance and injustice to territories in Che past

Temples Reported Found in the Sphinx.

Repeated reports received in
England from Egypt in regard to
Investigations being made by
Prof. g. A. Reisner, of Harvard
University. indicate that the head
of the Sphinx is the ante chamber
of great series of temples. A
depression in the head of the
Sphinx had been observed by
many travellers in the last hun
dred years, but no systemaeic at
tempt at excavation had been
made. According to the latest
reports, on the removal of the
sand and blocks that had been
placed across the opening, Pro-
fessor Reisner found himself in a
chamber so feet long and IA feet
wide, forming small but COM
plete temple. This temple, says
the June Popular Mechanics
Magazine, in an illustrated article,
is said to be connected with a
second temple at a lower level,
and, through a tunnel running
down the neck, with a far more
spacious temple occupying the
entire body of the Sphinx.

The Meaning Of Files.

Cheer up, fly season is here
and the summer fight is ON
in earnest. The man that
hasn't his screens up by this
time eats at the second table
to his guest, the manure pile
fly. No, you may not like to
look at it that way, but that
is the truth just the same.
If you don't like your guests.
your fellowboarders, or your
table companions, a mighty
good thing to do is to put up
screens. After the doors and
windows are we'll screened
you can easily get rid of the
occasional intruder by means
of sticky fly paper and fly
swatters.
In the country a mans flies
are of his own household.
That is, each householder is
largely responsible for his
own crop of flies. But in
cities Fthe number of flies
shows up the board of health.
Ii a tSwn has few flies they
have a live, wide~awake
board of health, but if flies
are thick you can set it down
hat The board of health is
tsleep, and a town is usual
iy just about as dead or as
wide>awake as its board of
health.
The whole thing narrows
down, therefore, SO that you
can jndge a town by the
number of it's flies.
Make a renewed effort to
fortify your home against
the deadly housefy. This is
the season of the year when
typhoid fever is becoming
prevalent, and the fly, as one
of it's chief carriers, is corres>
pondingly more dangerous.
During the warm summer
weather most flies are con-
tent to remain outdoors in
garbage cans and filth de-
posits, butxduring the cooler
weather they stay in your
homes in increasing numbers
just when they are most apt
to be reeking with the germs
of dangerous diseases.

The farmers Biggest Problem.

The biggest problem in the
agricultural world is the pro-
blem of getting and main
tanning rich land. It over-
shadows even the big pro-
blem of rural credits and of
cooperative marketing, and
must always do so as long
as we average our piti>
full one-third of a bale of
cotton and Is bushels of corn
per acre. The best farmer
in the world will find it diff
cult to make money on wash
ed>away hillsides; while an
ignorant negro can make a
bale of cotton to the acre by
keeping down the weeds on
the deep. rich, alluvial lands
of the Mississippi Delta.
What, then, is the secret
of profitable crops? Rich
land. Rich land, to be got>
ten by rotating crops, by
growing cowpeas, soy beans,
velvet beans, peanuts and
clovers. l tell you that un>
less you have a cover crop of
crimson clover on every foot
of your last years cotton
land you are neglecting your
duty to yourself, your land
and your community. Crim>
son clover is a demonstrated
success from Delaware to
Texas; one acre of it is equal
to ten tons of stable manure.
Can we afford to be without
it? Perhaps we may differ
with Prof. Massey on some
things, but when it comes to
crimson clover he is, in the
language of William Green
Hill, about "the rightest
man they is. "-B. L. Moss,
in The Progressive Farmer.

Party Stronger By Wilson's Firmness.

Washington, May 18.-The eff.
feet of President Wilson's public
declaration that there will be no
compromise on free wool and free
sugar in three years in the new
tariff bill, has been the subject of
constant discussion since the
Chief Executive made his pro.
nounciamento in the presence of
assembled newspaper correspond
ents last week. Administration
leaders declared that the Presi-
DENTS .vigoro ous assertion has sery-
ed to strengthen the party line
upon the Senate and they point
to the vote on the question of
public hearings on the tariff bill
as an indication of the solidarity
of the majority. Before the
President came out 30 strongly in
the face of the tremendous lobby
i lfuence that completely sur
rounds the capitol. the legisla-
tive air was charged with uncer-
tainty. On every hand was heard
the report that the Finance Com
mittee was planning to put duty
on wool or to leave sugar at the
end of three-ysar period with
small tariff.

Snake SO Feet Long With a Beaver Tail.

| Upou returning to the postoffice
from his regular round of Durham
R. F. D. No. 2 yesterday after
noon, J. A. Barbee, carrier for
this route, brought back the won
derous story of monstrous rep.
tile.
Mr. Barbee says that the snake
was unlike anything he has ever
seen or ever hopes to see both IN
size and other marks of identifica-
tions. The rural route man says
that the snake was thirty.three
feet long, and and as large around
as a nail keg. The color he could
not describe accurately, but says
that it was unlike anything he has
ever set his optics on i'll the years
that are gone. The reptile had
white eyebrows, possibly due to
its age, and snapped a bill much
after the manner of a large chicken
hawk. Its tail was like beavers
tail.
The R. F. D. carrier saw this
snake and lives to tell the tale,
though he admits that he made
no attemps to sorape up an ac-
quintance with the beast or mon.

ry, former Congressman from this
district, who was a Statesville
visitor last week. was warmly
greeted by his many friends here.
Mr.. Kluttz is now Judge of the

a county court in Statesville, aud
in talking with Mr.. Kluttz asked
him about the workings of the

the court has been in existence
three years and has proved its
worth. Since it was established
the court has saved the county
about $4,000 annually IN Jail fees
and has paid into the county
school fund in fines $1,000 to
$4,000 per year. The judge is
paid salary of 500 per month
by the county but the costs coll
lected more than pay the salary.
The solicitor is paid by fees and
be makes as much or more than
the judge. the fees being collected
in costs.
The court has civil jurisdiction
in cases of contract in amount up
to $500 and in cases in tort up to
$500. This, says Mr.. Kluttz, has
oeen found a great convenience to
persons who want to bring civil
actions for small amounts. The
court has criminal jurisdiction in
all cases below the grade of fell
