Certain women jurors do not seem to have achieved success with the manner in which they tried case recently. 1t Is charged that they found man guilty of crime when part of the jury at least believed him in- nocent. Tho dear girls who voted a man into prison because one of their number had a headache arc now go- ing to get a taste of the law. if the presiding judge can find any statute under which they can be punished.
 This is quite right and proper for If our. system of trial by jury becomes a farce and mockery and the dear girls are so anxious to participate In the rendering of justice they must come to a realization of the fact that trying man for murder or for any other crime or ofsense is different proposi- tion from spending the afternoon at the matinee eating chocolates and ad . miring the latest tailormade idol.
 All over tho country the newspapers a:e saying things nbout the jury of women who convicted a man against the consciences and belief of at least a part of the jury on the sole evidence trat one of their number had head ache or some kindred malady from which female jurors and females who arc not jurors suffer.
 In was splendid evidence and tho logic which prompted it is most ex- cruciatingiy feminine. we honestly believe this man innocent of the crime of which he is charged. but poor. dear Mrs. Blank has terrible headache and 1t would be shame to keep the poor dear in this horrid old courthouse while We argue The question with those ot you who believe the man guilty. Anyway he is just man and ought to be in jail probably anyway so wc might as we'll find him guilty. There. you poor dear. kiss me. Now you can go home and have good rest and 1t really doesn't make any difference whether the accused man is really guilty or not. you know. He has prob ably done something wicked anyway.
 So the dear delightful girls just vot- ed thc man into the penitentfary and then they all went out and had nice long cold-ice cream soda and forgot all about 1t.
 Dut the law and an afternoon tea party are two very diRsfeHt things aAd some of these women jurors seem likely to discover before long that a headache is not sufficient reason for changing vote from innocent to guilty when 1t involves the liberty and reputation of fellow human being.
 All over the country fne action o4 these women in Seattle who convicted against what they considered the evi. dence is being discussed.

 To be sure. the public being "easy' is usually lead by the nose by smooth politicians to such an extent that their self -xovernmcnt is only in name. but they do have the satisfaction of know ,rs that if a condition arises which is incompatible with their surrounds snes and their development that they nlone are responsible for 1t and that they have the power to repeal tho law .het they made and to remove the of' nciais whom they have created.
 Not % is it with the crown colony cf Alaska. Here <he laws are cribbed from . set of statutes made for other sections where conditions are different. Here the ofiicers who interpret the law have no interest whatever in the land or its people and here the ruling power is not the people. the toy legislature being no legislature but merely bit of sugar to keep the baby from crying. hut the ruling power and the powers Eho rule are from the outland whcr" art their interests and their sympath- ics and whore they will return when the fortunes of political wheel force them to turn over. their pay envelopes to still other representatives of the CT own.
 Some hundreds of years ago the same conditions obtained. No doubt tho imperial Caesars sent the least of the friends of their friends and the e usins of their cousins to rule and to collect the spoil of the farthest con Guored provinces. In those days 1t was merely the fortunes of war and the conquered submitted because they knew nothing of self-government and because the representatives of imper- iaI Romes were backed by the iegions of Rome.
 Times have changed since then. Thought has changed and the world las come to recognize government aa something that the people WILL have. Sometimes It is given them. sometimes they take 1t with the sword or with the ballot but eventually all lands will have 1t becaus 1t h right and proper that they should.
 There is therefor hope that the crown colony of Alaska may yet throw off the yoke arise out of the wreck of misgovernment e free and independent state with her own people in the of- fites of public trust and her own peo- pie making and Interpreting her own laws.

"It is to self government. the srea

"It is to self government. the great principle of popular representation and nlstratio tion--thc system that lets In all to participate in the coun- sells that are to assign the good or evil 10 ail-that we owe what We arc and what wc hope to bc.''
 These are the words of a sentle- mon who flourished in the United States some years ago and who was accounted a patriot, statesman and a man of learning. The gentleman's Hame was D. Webster and his voice was loud in the counseis of the coun- try in the days when to bc in the cCuntry's counsels and higher offices neant that a man was pre.eminentiy higher mentally and in statesmanship than his fellows.
 New times make new theories and new conditions and perhaps. perhaps. MT. webster might have had different views In regard to self. government; had be lived after somebody purchased Alaska from the Russians and started 1t under way as colony of the Am crican crown. Mir. Webster might have changed his views but it is very dahbtfui; for what he expressed In rc. satd to ssif- government seems as true new As it did in tho days of its ex- pression. In fact. as far as the aver sge Americans are concerned they have been roIleo Asoun0 to the politi. buncom of self. government for so long that they fondly believe they are gov. erning themselves instead of being the tools of various and sundry political htehbinders. But even this semi-con- scious state of self government has it's advantages. Tho people can wake up ss metimes and put their oar into the political mud puddle. They do occa- sionaily wake up and stick their oar in and whenever they do they arc dii- iisentiy needed by the men who de- sire to make living and gain fame at the expense of tho governed.
 This applies to the people of the Cntted states. but apparently does not abpiy to the colonies of the crown which under no circumstances can en- joy the rights of the rest of the land or .as Mr. Webster put 1t. can partict- rate in the counsels that are to as- sign the good or evil to all.
 Most especially does this seem to be the case with the particular colony in which we live.
 Self government. if 1t means any thins at all. means that the people of az,y land shall participate in making tht laws of that land and In tho sec jeeficn of the oficers authofissd to in- tsSreas and carry out those laws It tieo nisAns that when the people find tIt9t shsy have an obnoxious law on tksir stAeate bools that they can re-

ABOUT WILLOW CUTTINGS.

The Department of Agriculture
is getting ready TO fill requests for
the basket willow cuttings grow n
last year on its experimental farm At
Arlington, Va. Distribution of
these cuttings takes place early IN
March each spring TO farmers and
others who wish to make trials OF
basket willow on lands too wet for
other crops. From so to 100 cut
tings are given each person.
The distribution is not a mere
giving away of government material
to persons who desire 30 get some
thing free; because it is required
that each recipient of cuttings shall
make report of the treatment giver
and the results obtained. Several
select varieties are included in eaci
set that is distributed and the ain
is TO secure information as to thu
best variety for each locality, sines
no one kind can be relied upon tc
yield maximum results over a wild.
range of territory.
