NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 10, 1912.

Il is an otf repeated truth that q rotten apple pl'ced in basket of good ones cannot be improved by the rest but can rot them.
 Most Alaskan towns, particularly in winter time, are places whose popula- tions are unchanging and into which new blood seldom is infused. Close to the beteer portions of the commun- ities and in constant touch with them are clements of a different kind. It is impossible to avoid them as it is impossible for the fresh apples in q basket to avoid the bad ones.
 Evidences of the inevitable effects of this contact are increasing as time passes in various parts of the terri tory. Neither racial differences nor disease seems to act as deterrent when incontinence ig once substitut-
 I for restraint. Men who were at once time clean of mind and shrank from certain human contact as they would shrink from the thought of burglary have gradually become in- ured to what was once repulsive and have accepted it as matter of course.
 Men are not particularly given to looking at matters from religious or

moral standpoints. Most men in this country are skeptiCs when it comes to euestio1s like those. Indeed speaking from those points of view would be nothing but molly coddleism. but the
 inject belongs to different class altogether. It belongs to the sphere of cleanliness. self restraint and hon. orable pride.
 There are two human elements which should always be kept apart II churches or the ten commandments were as dead as Julius Caesar. The person who by word or public action trics-~to obliterate the boundary be, tween the two Is only "procurer" by wholesale whether he Is so willingly or not.

Alaska is the greatest place in the world for arguments. During the winter people are supplied with such meager means of using their energies after business or working hours that they let their thoughts take expression and the result Is that some other per son takes them up." When a man is expounding some deep or learned doctrine. or a doctrine that Is sup posed to be so. 1t will never do for his friends to listen silently and be they acquiesce in everything he says. That would have the same effect and besides it is not human. Most of the arguments center around the question of the souls immortality. The man who tries to prove a future life knows as much about it as the man on the negative side. Neither knows hny more about it than a COW does about a holiday.
 iIC hHOWlCuBS LII lIlc BIedlcSI pIlll- osopher that ever lived does not reach to one-half a second beyond birth or death. Such a thought as that ought to prevent an awful lot of polemical thunder.
 All of us have had experience in AL aska of the cabin with the warm stove and the hunks. On the stove Is a pot of dog feed and a pot of beans and in the bunk are sprawling phil osophers and theologians. The argu- ment about immortality comes near fisticuffs until a new arrival comes. They "leave 1t to him." For awhile the new arrival speaks with that su- perior calmness which we can all command when we come newly upon

600 Acres Are Planted to
Peanuts.

ADA, Okla, June Elm view Of
the fact that the two new crops of
the west-kaffir corn and peanuts
have in the past few years been so
extensively raised in Oklahoma, Kan
sas and Texas II is Of interest to know
that they have made considerable
change in the foreign and domestic
commerce Of the United States
OF the crop Of kafflr corn for 1912
over 100000 bushels passed throcgh
the ports of Galveston and New Or
leans for European ports. The crea-
ton OF an European demand will
have n tendency to steady prices, II
not increase It, as the consumers of
Europe estimate its value at 80 per
cent. that of corn and on that base
its value, as a fuel for animals is
placed. Up to the present time IL
has been raised for its drought re-
sisting tendency, tc give the farmer
an assurance of fodder for cattle
raising, but now that It has become a
marketable cereal of world wide Xe-
tant its future as a reliable and pro-
fitable cereal is firmly established.
Estimates on the acreage of the
west places the nrmher Of bushels
for export the coming fall at fully
10 90, ,000-a marvellous increase for
the cereal.
The demand for peanuts has also
increased remarkably owing to the
new food-peanut butter and other
comestlble uses-which Is rapidly at
tanning popularity. It is but six years
ago that any extended effort was
made to grow peanuts Virginia and
the Carolinas which section produced
six years ago, 100000 bushels.
Four years later. after Oklahoma,
Texas, Mississippi and Alabama be-
gan the growing OF them the crop in
creased to 10000 900. The crop was
valued at $40, 600. 10000 for 1912. II
Is estimated the: 100000 acres are
In cultivation this year, from which
10000, 10000 should be received.
Oklahoma has an acreage Of 100000

Following the defeat OF the English
polo cup challenging team by the
American foor in the opening game
% the series the visitors explained
the upset in part by the statement
that since their arrival I'm this eqpnTy
they had been unable 20 obtain CON
tnuous practice against fast playing
high calbrcd fours This statement
was true, but the fault lay not with
either Polo association or any Of It's
individual members, but the game
itself. Polo IN the United states Is of
comparatively recent origin and polo
players capable Of trying out the Eng
lish focr to the limit, are few and far
between. Whereas thousands play
the game IN England and the various
British possessions, there are but few
in coparson who participate in polo
in the states.
The very fact that the few players
Of sufficient strength to give the chal-
lengers a thorough tryout were need
ed for the American team and re-
serve, placed an unintentional handi-
cap upon the invading players. Oc-
casionally one Of the Meadow Brook
big Four" or an American roservist
pTacticed against the English, but
this was avoided as far as possible IN
order that the charge might not be
made lated that the defenders were
familiar with the English style Of at
tack and defense. In years TO come
perhaps polo will reach n point OF
popularity in this country where In
member Of followers 1t will compare
favorably with England. Until such
time, however, the conditions of
which the English players spoke
must continue.

In sending Maurice Il. McLough-
lin, r. Norris Williams, 2nd, Harold
II. Sackett and Wallace T.. Johnson to
England TO continue the hunt for the
Davis cup, the American Lawn Tennis
association has named the strongest
team possible, judged from the 1912
rankings. Mclaughlin, Williams and
Johnson are the three top rankers in
the singles and aHckett is found in
the second line Of the doubles. Had
Y. C. Bcndy, who with Mclaughlin,
wen the United States double cham
pionship at Newport, been able to ac-
cept the invitation TO compete abroad
the champions would all have been
battling for the cup.
That this team will give an excell-
ent account of itself during the COM
ing play both in the English cham
pionships and the succeeding Davis
cup play goes without saying. In
skill and strength it combines the best
in tennis in the United States, and
has the added advantage Of youth in
the case Of three of the four players.
Williams, Johnson and Mclaughlin
are scarcely out of their teens yet
they have had plenty Of experience in
tennis play both at home and abroad.
With Hackett, who has no superior in
the matter Of court strategy, to ad-
wise and coach them, the younger
combination may be expected to carry
off the burden of attack with reason

The mobilization of the Rumanian
army will be completed Thursday or

Rumania to occupy the territory she
desires or to engage in war.
