CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
How Civilization Makes Us immune
to Many.

1t is evident. to every one, and more
especially to those who are in the ar
, titcial conditions of city life. that civ
ilization brings host, of diseases in
its train. The extremists of the back
to-nature cry have gone so far as to
declare that civilization is a disease.
But it is only just beginning to be
clearly perceived that civilization is
its own disease, that it preys upon it
self, and that the aim of man is not
to be civilized, but to avoid being civ
ilzed, though using to the full the OPP
portunities that civilization affords.
Perhaps an Illustration may make
this quite clear. Measles is a definite
germ disease. Tt Is widely spread over
the earth. but not by. any means uni
vtrsally spread; for example. it seems
to have been known among the North
American Indians pricr to the coming

In the litigation over the question OF
polluting New York harbor with New
Jersey sewage, New Jersey has at last
come to the conviction that the clean
liness involved in the plans for sew
age treatment is Well worth the pro-
posed expenditure of money. Under
the plan proposed the sewage after
treatment can be discharged into the
New Jersey tidal waters without in
jury or offense either to New Jersey or
New York. The question is one of
public health and as such it is one of
the most important of the many SIM
liar questions which are now before
municipalities in various parts of the
United States.

Dresses in
Our Window

They are shown not wholly be-
cause the prices are 50 reason
able but because they are SO
beautiful in fabric and design.
These dresses came from
some of the most famous of the
New York makers. They were
originated by designers who
command large salaries. Peo-
pie whose life work and training
has been to design. This eX-
plains the wonderful progress
made in recent years in the
manufacture of dresses. And,
now through the skill of these
designers~we.. are able TO offer
to our Customers dresses which
are really works of are. The
lines are exactly right: the col
or combinations tremendously
blended. and, when these perfect
style creations are united with
fabrics of unusual beauty and
quality the result is a dress OF
merit and real distinction-per-
lection in the dress makers art.
The new fabrics are silk pop
Inns. crepe de-chene, Canton
cryse, charmeuse. etc. The pop
ular eolors of the season are
Terracotta, strawberry, mahog-
any, French blue, brown, red
etc.
Now as to prices. They vary
from ss.75 to $4,000. But, best
of all the prices are so reason
able that YOU will wonder how
such handsome dresses can be
made to sell at such small prices
our clerks delight in showing
them. Come in and look them
over.

A law was passed by the legisla- ture making 1t crime punishable by from one to ten years 1 nthe peni- tentiary to steal gold from a claim. It is what Is known as . law against high grading outside but It Is applica- . bie to placer ground. A man from this time forward who steals n nugget from bedrock can be punished by the term mentioned and it wll be within the discretion of the presiding judge to fix the term within the periods named. Some people seem to think this penalty too severe and 1t Is cer- tain that some of the members of the legislature from this division voted against it. They seem to hold that man who steals nugget should not be given more than man who robs bank.
 In one sense they are certainly right. Some men who have been con- nected with the failures of banks should be placed in the penitentiary for the remainder of their natural lives instead of having a paltry line

The case of Judge Cooper of Chicago proves the necessity of judicial re- | call.
 In San Francisco a judge reduced the ball of man accused of crime against young girl to an amount that the defendant could easily afford to pay. The prisoner promptly forfeited the $i.0o0 bail and disappeared.
 The women of San Francisco thought that a man who assessed wOman's honor so lightly was not the kind of a man who should sit on a Judges seat.
 They have the recall system in California. and steps were immediate iy taken to put the recall in opera tion against Judge Weller. The judge himself appeared at a mass meeting and made his defense. He referred to the fact that his father had been gov- ernor of California. and insisted that even if the reduction of bail in this case were an error. it did not Justify his removal from ofYice. The people of San Francisco refused to acauit Judge Weller on his fathers account. After a sharp campaign the people re- called Judge Weller and elected an- other to serve in his place.
 Contrast the promptness, efficiency and moral health of California with the helpiessness of Illinois.
 Circuit Judge William Fenimore Cooper is accused in Chicago of judi ciai acts and conduct besides which wellers offense Is a trivialty.
 In eight cases where the jury pro- nounced prisoners guilty of assaults upon girls and women. Judge Cooper set aside the verdicts. In one case. that of a man found guilty of mai treating a feeble minded girl of fif- teen-the second charge of that sort upon which he had been before Judge Cooper-the prisoner was allowed to go on paying a fine of Ave dollars.
 In case after case this judge per mitted the cross examination of little girls for hours. Some of these exam nations were unspeakably gross.-N. Y. American.

iNciTiNG TO CIVIL
 WAR IN IRELAND

Hot heads among the British tories are showing an amazing ignorance of the first principles of representative government in their fiery opposition to the second passing of the Irish Home Rule bill over the veto of inc fossIiIzed House of Lords.
 Further than that. in shipping rifles and bayonets Into Ulster. they are playing with very dangerous fire.
 The province of Ulster. including the prosperous shipbuiiding city of Belfast, contains about & third of the population of Ireland. hut these loud orators who talk of fighting for the province and plunging Ireland into civil war seem to overlook the fact that the counties in the province of Ulster return more nationist mem- bers to parliament than unionists. Even of Beifast's five members. one Is a nationalist.
 As matter of fact. Ulster Is pretty  evenly divided on this issue. which has been the active bugbear Of Brit ish politics for half century. And now that the united Kingdom is about at last to give justice to Ireland and take long forward step toward the hest Ideals of popular government. It is pitabls to find men like Sir Edward Carson and the Rt Hon.. F. P.

 On the other hand the legislature made new laws to punish bank sharks and also 1t might be said that a much greater number of high graders have got off scott free than crooked bankers Besides 1t might be said that high grading is much more prevalent and easy than robbing a bank. Frequency and ease in crime make 1t all the greater reason why the laws should be stringent. If crime Is easy 1t will be committed very often unless fear is used as a weapon to stop 1t.
 A man who has been honest all his life might be overcome by temptation when he sees a nugget lying at his feet and no one could say that such a man would deserve years In prison if he took 1t but the law no doubt aims at men who make 1t practice to steal gold from the ground in which they are working for wages.
 Men should not be led away by the filthy philosophy of those who say that the gold in the ground belongs as much to the man who is working for wages as the man who Is employing him. This is one of the new fangled ideas that are being sown in the minds and consciences of men who were raised honest. were honest and would continue to be honest were 1t not for the contemptible wretches that are breeding the seeds of thievery and dishonor in others.

NOME, ALASKA. JULY 14, 1918.

The Alaska legislature spent some thing like $6.000 for printing It's laws and journal and todny 1t would be as hard to get the copy of the laws as it would be to get the history of China in Nome. From time to time an ink ling of new laws comes to the papers through one of the legislators but 1t is evident that even the members of the legislature differ very widely in opinion us to the real truth about some of the laws passed in the first session. Only yesterday two members of the lower house while speaking to each other expressed different views about the mining law. One seemed to think that the assessment work of s1o0 for each twenty acres on all ground when staked must be done next year while the other expressed the belief that 1t need not be done until 1915.
 One would imagine that the iegis- lature would have made some pro- vision out of that $5.000 to have the newspapers of the territory. placed in possession of some of the copies of the laws. To spend so generous a sum for the printing of the laws and then to let them be hidden away hardly looks right. Some copies of the law are in existence but seem to be only in the possession of some of the mem- bers of the legislature.
