THE SALE OF A GREAT NAME

Julian Hawthorne still has many friend who will persist In beliving that he did not deliberatly intend to get money by fraud but his convic- ton and sentence will nevertheless enforce 6 pointed moral and convey Il
 sharp warning to all who are the in ventors and guardians of great re- putntions.
 Hawthorne has done good literary
 and journalistic work on his own &C.,
 count. But his personal value as 0 promoter of other mems mining sch- emes was mainly due to the fact that his fnther's name is a household word in every English speaking country and stands for the most exquisite ii- terary art that the United States has produced Julian Hawthorne in his earlier years made a brave light to win an economic competency ss Q man of letters. But at last his courage failed. He yielded to a great temptation. He consented to capitalize his name ito turn it into commercial asset.
 Nobody has a moral right to use the social credit that goes with a great literary or artistic reputation for any other purpose that falls below the level of that reputation.
 The name that goes with "The Scarlet Letter." "The Marbel Faun" and the House of the Seven Gam bles." was believed In by the people of the United States. because 1t was universally felt that such works are free gifts to the human race and could have been wrought only by a man who cared more for the perfection of his work than for the price that was paid for 1t.
 Quite apart from any offense against the postal laws, there was of confidence involved in the use of the name of Hawthorne by men who cared more to make money than to serve mankind.-Ex.

The federal government seems to b<

 territory. The appropriations thin
 year are less than usual instead of be-
 ing greater and tho thoughts of pso-
 pie are forced to the conclusion that Seward peninsula is being sadly me- siected.
 It is a positive fact that in the past year not a voice has gone up from all this peninsula asking for more roads while all the time good districts are lying idle for lack of the means of transportation. The kougarok is one of the best camps in the country today and the best trail there is no bigger than some rabbit tracks.
 In other parts of the territory men are constantly begging away at the government to provide trails and in some cases they succeed in having roads constructed to dIggings which compared to the Kougarok are very small indeed. not only in their present output but in their prospects for the future. Colonel Richardson at the head of the Alaska road commission is tho right man in the right place but Colo nelRichardson must de- pend to great extent for guidance on the people of the districts in which roads are needed. If Nome needs roads 1t 10 the business of Nome to keep banging away until she gets them and the more banging she does the surer will she be to success in this respect Work on the Bessie road has recently been stopped for want of funds and when road of such great importance as that ono is neglected not much can be expected for others unless the matter is agitated.
 It is really too bad that Nome takes matters 90 easily. The development of this peninsula means improve ment for the conditions of all the peo- | pie living here and no rest should be given those who have the power to grant the money for road building. It ls not enough to ask once or twice for what we need. The request should be repeated and dinned into the ears of the powers at Washington con- stantly

MINIMUM WAGE LAWS FOR
 WOMEN.

The committee of the Illinois senate has discovered a relationship between the ''whlte slave trafic and the in- sufficient pay for women workers has precipitated national discussion that is bound to run deep.
 Of course. nobody means to say that the meagre rewards of industrious women arc either the sole cause or the sufficient Justification. of a descent into vice. But 1t is we'll to look the fact in the face that. % far as . great multitude of women are con- cerned. our actual society offers c more comfortable iiviihood to vice than to virtue.

Monsieur the Husband threw down his
serviette, rose. bowed and in smiling silence
strolled off to his club, where, when settled
deep in a fauteuH d la VoItdire, and provided
with "w'isky an sodar," he resumed his
exploited title, and became, as it were, the

The arbitress of operate destinies went for
a drive in the Bots, and was addressed as
Countess by the footman. She gave no more
thought to Anna or the Russian, but much to

on the north and south highway can
be performed this season.
There appears to be wrong I'M
preston as to what this highway
construction means In many locall-

1t would bankrupt half of the coun-
tie, where construction is under
taken. AS we understand the duties
of this commission, it is to locate the
highways and see that the grades are
suitable and the curvature safe. All
of the work will be with view OF
permanency and If at any time aid
is secured from the national govern
ment. the groundwork for the per-
manent improvement will be laid.

At this time there is no one thing
which can be of greater benefit to the
country than the construction of this
proposed trunk line road.
Upon reaching Lewiston his plans
provide for going to Standpoint and
Wallace where he will meet members
of the commission and will later go
south to inspect proposed routes in the
Twin Falls section. President Turner

to make the trip here with Mr.. King,
