AN HONOR.

The smoker last night in honor of Colonel Richardson was com- pliment to that officer and cred it to the people of the town. Col onel Richardson has done much for Alaska in the if years he has been detailed by the War depart ment in this territory. He is probably the best posted man on Alaskan affairs in the army. His work has been of the constructive order and will remain many years after we are gone as a monument tO himself and the road commits sion, and the increased prosperity which has followed the building of trails and roads is largely due to the untiring zeal and efforts of Colonel Richardson.
 In every section of the norlh h. land will be found trails and roads built in whole OF in part by he commission. Again We repeat. in hOnOring Colonel Dick. the prn- pie have also honorcd themselves.

GRIT.

Were we called upon to define grit we would reply by remarkiny, Robert McChesney, and it is lit- erally true. The example of grit displayed by this pioneer of Alas ka from the time the tree fell, pinning him to the ground, while his partners fought to release him, he calmly directed the work, the coolest head in the party, and all through the trip to the beach when every step meant torture to the injured man, the long night ride in the boat, while his con- panionS, almost exhausted. rOWcd on he never whimpered, but when the pain was the hardest to with stand he whistled OF sang. Grit is McChesney and McChesnry is grit--all grit and plenty of it. Of such are the pioneers of Alaska.

POLITICS IN THE TARIFF BILL

In theIr desire tu win the sup port of the farmers. who so Se- verely punished the Republicans for the Canadian reciprocity law, the Democrats have gone to the extreme of imposing duties on raw materials while admitting free the commodities made from those materials. They imp"s" a duty of 10 cents bushel on wheat and oats. but none on flour and oatmeal. They tax livestock, but not meat. They adhere to the theory of free raw materials and taxed manufactures in the metal and wool schedules, but they reverse the policy in dealing with products of the farm.
 This is not logical from any standpoint. On the protcctionist theory, flour would pay duty equal to that paid on wheat plus a duty adequate to protect the American miller. On the theory of a revenue tariff with incidental protection, the duty should be on flour but not on wheat, or at least should be equal on both. If the principle of free trade be follow ed as closely as is consistent with the necessity of raising revenue, then wheat should be free and flour slightly taxed, for little wheat would be imported and a small duty on flour might produce considerable revenue from Cana dian importations.
 The Underwood duties on grain are directed by politics, not by public policy. They are an open bid for the farmers v"td. The Democrats have been greatly inn pressed by the revolt of farmers in the border states against the Taft reciprocity policy. They supported that policy, but have proflted by it's unpopularity and hope to wean the farmers perm anently from the Republican party by protecting their products while admitting free nearly cv- erything farmers use or consume, no matter how highly manufac- tured.--Portland Oregonian.

After Dinner Speaking.
(By George Fitch(.


 After dinner speaking is mu- tual surrUw which is shared with great loyalty by the speaker and the spcakccs. It is part of the price of the dinnrr--the second installmcnt, which is payable inn mediately after the Scnegambian coffee has been slipped and the eN- travagant cigars in red and gold uniforms have been lighted.
 After dinner speaking original ly consisted of humor and friv"l-
 ity, with a little cloquencr now and then, if the diners were good naturcd. During the Chauncry NJ. Depew era of after dinner speaking. three good stories made a speech, and the man who could tell three good stories, all of a tender age, never dined at home.
 Nowadays after dinner speak ing is a duty and the dinners are provided in order to repay the crowds for listening to the speeches. In order to hold a thousand men through three fOur-f furlong speeches on irriga- ton, conversation and the neccs- sily of dif1crential rates, ii is nec- essary to seat them al tables where they can't get out. Instead of selling oratory at Sl per head per listener, it is now necessary to give away a scven-cnursc din ncr as a bonus.
 This is largely because sperch- making has changed. Formerly a speaker Tried to see how long he could soar on he wings of metaphor. without falling off. Now the orator comes to the an- nual dinner of the Amalgamatcd Sons of Thunder, bulging with statistics, and when his turn comes. he ladies out information until the janitor turns out the lights.

REPUBLICANS TO MEET
Call Assured For National Convention
Next Year.

Washington, Nov. 70. - A decision
here by the law committee of the Re.
publican national organization virtu-
ally assures the calling of a Republi.
can nationwide convention for some
time next year. This, it is said, will
be the first national convention ever
held for any other purpose than the
nomination of a president and vice
president,
The law committee was created at
the time of the meeting of the Repub.
lican executive committee In Wash.
ington a few months ago to consider
several important legal questions
raised by certain reforms proposed
for the reorganization of the party.
The committee decided for one thing
that there is no power in the Republi.
can national committee to change the
basis of representation in the Repub.
lican national convention.
The call will probably provide for
delegates to be chosen in the usual
way of selecting delegates for the
presidential convention, and this con.
ycntion is expected to take up and
deal with the question of changing
the basis y. representation.

to have another look at it. The rising
tide had partly covered the place, and
he knew that it would be nearly
twelve hours before the water would
give him an opportunity to examine 1t
again.
He resolved to improve the interval
by securing a boat or building a raft to
use in his investigations. Going to a
wood near by, he saw plenty of fallen
timber, and after walking several
miles to a house where he was given
some breakfast he returned and car
ried sufficient wood to the shore to
make a float He laced the pieces to-
gether with twigs and when the tide
subsidized in the afternoon put his raft
into the water and padded to the
rock in question Lying flat, he pulled
himself in under the land some twenty
feet, when he came to an iron door.
1t was fastened with an iron latch,
which, being covered by water at
every tide, was so rusty that he could
not move it, He scuttled out, got
stone, returned and by hammering
opened the door. There before him lay
a subterranean passage leading in the
direction of the house.
Not having a light, the young dlscov-
erer did not attempt to investigate any
further. Besides, he had no mind to
be caught in a trap by an incoming
tide. He got out as quickly as possible
and, sitting on a rock. bethought him
self what next to do. He concluded
to 60 on home and consult with some
one about his find. He was not sure
but that there was something in it for
him, and he wished to find a way to
get it out
John was secretive boy, and, though
he told about his experiences in the
city, he said nothing about the house
by the sea. In few days, armed
with some carpenters tools and a
candle, he went back to it and, closing
the shutter behind him through which
he entered, took up a part of the floor,
went down into the celler and found
it full of boxes and bales
BY this time IL occurred 10 Ihe poy
that the house was a storage depot for
smugglers. He found door in the
celler leading into the passage to the
water and presumed that the goods
were carried in by that route. Re
placing everything as he had left 1t, hR
made his way to the nearest port OF
entry and. calling for the collector told
him that he had discovered depot for
smuggled goods. He was too smart to
give any clew to it till he had made
terms with the government. This neces-
STATED some correspondence between
the officials and the government. and
it was finally agreed that Of any SNUG

M'REYNOLDS' DECISION
HITS SHIP OWNERS
Tariff Rebate Declared TO Be
Null and Void.

Washington, Nov 10. - The treas.
ury department made public Attorney
General McReynolds' opinion of the
clause in the new tariff which gives a
5 per cent rebate to all goods import.
ed in American vessels. The attorney
general holds that this clause is null
and void because it impairs treaty
obligations of the United States gov.
eminent guaranteeing many foreign
nations against any discrimination in
the matter of duties.
This means that no effort will be
made by the treasury department to
put this clause Of the tariff law into
operation. 1t means, too, that Ameri-
can ship owners will Immediately take
steps to carry the matter into the
courts and obtain a judicial interpre'
tation of the law.

SEEKS STATE AID
Mayor of Cleveland Would Retain
Saloon License Fee.

Columbus, o., Nov. 13. - State Au.
ditor Donahey reported to Governor
Cox that the end of the fiscal year,
Nov. Is, would show state revenues
of approximately $15,5OO,OO0, an in.
crease over 1912 of $1,5OO,OO0. The
present surplus is about $5,5O0,000.
Mayor Newton ID. Baker announced
at Cleveland he soon will come to see
Governor Cox and urge that the state
surrender part of its plethoric reve.
nues to needy municipalities. He said
Cleveland can not find the money
needed to carry on municipal func.
tions under its new charter and that
he believes most other cities are bad
ly cramped for funds. He would like
to have the state permit the cities to
retain the $1,000 saloon license fees,
OF which the state gets $500. In that
way Cleveland could recover about
half the revenue lost by it by cutting
down the number of saloons.
