TAFT WRONG AS USUAL.

FORMER President Taft just cannot adjust himself to the new
 order of things day he complains that the country IS
 becoming democratic and the next that we are drifting into contest socialism He that he sees soclalsc e dencies in the Democratic administration.
 As usual Taft wrong. The country has, in fact made greater progress away communsc socialism in the last year than it has the length of time in more than generation The country rushing headng toward socialism during the administrations of Mckinley Roosevelt and Taft The elimination of competition through the formation of trusts which were coming control industry and commerce the Nation naturally lead people think strongly of socialism, With the scambng big into mixture people reasoned that the profits monopoly should all rather than the few con trolling the monopoly.
 The movement away from socialism began when President Wilson and Congress- acting the agents the people ing into effect expressed will about the work of restor ing competition the land It has continued the democratic program unoed at Washington Democracy leads toward indvidualSm and not toward socialism.
 Taft yet learned the lesson of his repudiaon by the people He cannot that the day of personal government has gone.

JIM BEASLEY AS EXPERT
 ON WIRELESS TELEGRAPHN

Jim" Beasley. fugitive in Alaska but Honorable capt. J. Campbell Beasley, poloist, social pet, clrbman' philanthropist, ana what not, in New Tor, Philadelphia and Boston, says the Cordova Times:
 Yep, Jim bobbe3 Up again. The last heard of the "Captain" was in San Francisco, when his engagement with the wealthy Miss Wood, an heiress of Los Angeles, was uncere- moniously cancelled by Miss Wood' when it was learned that the Cap tain," who had cut some swath at Burlingame. and Carmel-by-Sea, had failed to secure divorce from his wife at Nome. Prior to that pub licity, James was given few col 2mns when Charles r. Heron, who is now q mine operator at seward, but was then acting as a deputy marshal, chased him all oyer the world. Heron finally nabbed Boas' ley in South Africa. but the latter got out of the trouble after trial in the north.
 This time Jim is giving expert testimony on wireless, as used by the South American Indians for more than 5000 years" Here it is fresh from the New York sun:
 That a system Of wireless tele- graphy existed more than 5000 Years ago among the tribes Of South America was the information brought home by Capt. J. CampoelI Beasley, adventurer and explorer who arrived here recently with his party after more than two years oI exploring in the wilds Of the Amazon valley.
 Capt. Beasley started through South America from Lima, Peru, an made his way across the continent from the source Of the Amazon river, in five months. He believes that his party is the only one that ever accomplished this feat.

HOW THE ~PEOPLE OF SKAGWAY
 ... SPENT CHRISTMAS, 1914

entertained guests at dinner Christ mag day, a detailed account of which will appear in the society columns of the Daily Alaskan on Monday. At the places of public entertainment, The Golden North cafe, the Pullen House and the Pack Train restaurant, everything that could be desired in the way of a Ghristmas feasts was served and each of them was accorded very liberal patronage.
 In the evening the Christmas tree at the Arctic Brotherhood hall was an attraction that drew almost everyone in town to witness 1t. The lall had been beautifully decorated for the occasion and a goodly sized tree, hung thickly with iHcandescent light globes, aglitter witk silver and gold and loaded down with presents, was viewed with impatient eXpec- tancy by the scores of boys ani girls present, none of whom had been overlooked when the dis tribu1ion was concluded shortly after nine o'clock. A good-humor- cd crowd packed the main hall, while the aisles, ante rooms and reception room were filled with those unable to find seats. A spec ial train arrived from the north end Of town shortly after seven o'clock p. m. with a big crowd from the vicinity of the railroad shops and after the exercises were over re- turned them to their homes.
 Quite 8 number of those who at tended the Christmas tree exercis- es later dropped into the Nugget movies, where a very excellent eX- hibition was given
 And thus ended Christmas, 1914 in Skagway.

that we first learned of this wire less system" said Cant. Beasley. We were met at the entrance of a village by number of natives. They had evidently been expecting us. and when We asked how they knew that we were coming they pointed to a crude looking arrange ment suspended between two tree stumps on a horizontal bar. Through our Indian interpreter we learned that it was a wirless apparatus for sending and receiving wireless mes sages from the various tribes throughout the Amazon valley. The little transmitter was the hollow trunk of a tree suspended from the pole so that the base was slightly Of the ground. Inside it had been arranged very mucn like our violinS.
 Tt was explained that when the instrument was Smartly SLruck WlIh q small hammer a vibration was ere ated that carried for miles over the hills. The receive" is very similar to the transmitter except that it is placed on hardwood plaform the base of the hOllOweG tree trunk being grounded on the platform. When the message is struck in the neighborhood village, sometimes 30 miles distant, this receiver catches the vibrations, causing a jerky, singing sound. understand that this sound system can be read by the members Of the tribe and that in this way news of victories and ether happenings are told through out the countryside
 "In this way the Indians all along Our route heralded our approach, and we were met by the inhabitants all through the Putamayo, Nappo, Beni, Madre di Dos, and Lower

The people of Skagway passed Christmas in much the usual way although, outside of the Methodist Episcopal Sunday school exercises On Thursday night. the services at the catholic church yesterday and the Arctic Brotherhood Christmas tree last night, the observanCes were confined wholly ta the homes. in many of which beautiful evergreen trees, festooned with variegated de- corauons and hung thickly with all manner of gifts for the youngsters as well as for those of more ad- yanced ages, were to be found and where the distribution of the things that sagged the Oler-laden boughs caused the hearts Of the little re- cipients of these offerings of love to fill with q flood of rejoicing and happiness.
 The exercises a- the Methodist Episcopal church on Thursday even- ing, at which very excellent pro gram was rendered by the children of the Sunday school, reflected a great deal of credit upon the Of ficers of that organization for the perfect manner in which they had instructed those who took part. The church was filled to overflowing wiht parents and others, and it. was a very appreciative and sym pathetic audience before whom the children made their appearance.
 At the Catholic church Christmas was ushered in with Midnight Mass and a sermon by Rev. Father Fur Lell at 12 midnight A second mass took place at S:3O a. III Christmas uay and a third mass at II a. m. There were good congregational at at all.

ARE NATIVES CITIZENS?

At our last election, several na- , lives were allowed 10 vote at Kake, Alaska. The judges of election, af- te rigid examination of the appli- cants for a chance to cast their ballots unanimously allowed the privilege. There was deep appre- hension on the part Of the judges that their action might cause seri- Ous complication, but nothing thus far has been done, and while there is ample time yet, the chances are much in favor of the correctness of the proceedings, says the Ketchi- kan Progressive.
 A little reflection leads to the be- lief that a wrong has been commit ted these many years against the natives in withholding their right to vote. Common sense, the treaty with Russia, the Constitution of the United States and everything hav= ing any bearing on the question, is evidence of that. And that regard less of what congress may have said 10 the contrary, education or civi- !ization has nothing to do with the question. Many man can De found in the civilized south as well as in the great middle west, who cannot read or write and is no more civilized than the natives of Alaska They are familiar with their lm- mediate environment, and that is about all one can say for those Vot-' CTS, But if that constitutes civi- lization and gives the right to vote, as much can be said of hte Aiaskan natives. and for the same reason they must have a right to vote.
 It is only few days ago that a missionary who has resided among the natives of Alaska for more than 25 years said that the natives should be given all the privileges or nm American citizen. that they were entitled to such. In speaking or the liquor question, the same man said 'I wish the natives had all they wanted, that is to say, the privilege of buying it on their own responsibility, instead of getting as much as they wanted by bribery or through lawbreakers." Quite sensi- ble, to say the least.
 The farce of administering justlee through the courts to those who furnish liquors to the natives, IS enough to disgust every right think

Hill selection OF seed is urged b,
every institution interested in the i'm.
provement OF corn. By selecting corn
from the standing stalks in the field
one can consider other things besides
the ear itself. says A. D. Wilson NJ
the university farm. St. Paul The
helght OF the ear on the stalk and the
strength of the stalk may both be
considered, and whether or not the
ear grew on stalk that had the
whole hill TO itself or had to compete
with two or three other stalks can be
determined, while II one waits until
the corn has been cut tfre +. -s,rs
can not be considered.
Early selection of seed corn from
the hill has many important adyant-
ages over the selection later in the
season. In the first place it enables
one to select ears that are known to
nave matured at the proper time.
while II the selection Is deferred
and weather conditions continue fav-
orable some of the later maturing
ears may be selected, because they
are likely to be larger and heavier
While the large, heavy ears are de-
sirable. one can not proftably select
them at the expense OF maturity be-
cause corn that will not mature is
bound to be an improbable crop.
Early selection from the hill avoids
tne danger OF the corn being injured
by frost while it is still damp in the
musk. 1t also allows for ample time
lor the corn to become thoroughly
dried out before freezing weather.
which is very important in maintain
ing strong termination.
