Aldrlch, in the Occidental lobby last night You sec" he continued athe Grand igloo is the legislative body for an the subordin- ate Igloos and it it was located in Juneau it could meet about the same dime the legislature meets and that would be or considerable advantage. Besides nearly every member elect ed to the legislature is 9 memher of some one or the several Jsloos.

 Nome Igloo. owns its own home a hall. club room and hotel. combined. It Is very comfortably situated and io @ prosperous condition. The Fair banks Igloo always opens the social season in Fairbanks with a grand bah. It Is universally successful
 While enroute to Juneau on this his last trip out Senator Aldrich institu- ted three Igloos Of Women Pioneers ot Alaska. which are auxiliary to the older order. There arc now four wo- mons Igloos. at Nome. Ruby and Fair banks, and Valdez.
 The qualifications for membership in the Yukon Order of Pioneers Include the provision that the candidate must have crossed the divide into the Yu- kon basin before January ], 1900, while the Alaska Pioneers have placed the limit one year later. Nome was the last frontier to be conquered by the great stampede or 1900 and all who came to Alaska prior to January ], 1901. are eligible, providing they meas ure up to the other qualifications.
 Senator Aldrich. says that Juneau is by right entitled to prominent place among the pioneers. It was the first rendezvous for tho reai old pio- neers.

PEOPLES FORUM
Public Sentiment and the Law.

Editor Virsinian:
sir.--For some time have been considering
submitting view a certain condition obtain
Ing in the city of Richmond, but fearing that the
paper to which I was considering so Emitting
the view might decide that was a dssemina-
tor of n long range opinion without their con-
suttation. and that it might not be expedient
20 publish this view in even ncons pfcuous
column, or that only fooing. has caused
a delay. AS a resident of Virginia and one In
tcrested in every phase of her welfare 7 re-
specially submit a few thoughts to your col
umns. promising that will not be offended IL
they are ignored and that will be brief.
The view is with reference to the law pro-
Vidins for the abolishment of the aggregated or
red light district in the city OF Richmond. The
whole gist OF the argument hinges the ques-
ton expressed in words or in substances in
several OF the Richmond papers: Is this law
cxpedient one? VIII this law increase the moral
healthiness OF Richmond? VIII not the enforce
ment Of this law tend break down the large
mass OF immortality conferred in particular sec
ton of the city. aud will not the final result
be smaller fragments Of hmm orality scattered
over every section of the city: the sum OF these
ira grnents being greater than the original mass
The proposal of such questions and their at
tempted speculative answers Is q preSupposttron
Of the Law. Those who are engaging in such
press work are either consciously uncon-
spiouay closing their eyes stopping their ears,
and turning their backs on the real logic of the
issue and as II blessed only with a mixture of
speech and silence trying to discover the
reason FOR and the 'eXpedience of this law.
All law at all times is always reasonable
everywhere. All law at all times is always
yXpedient everywhere. Such exists until public
opinion in some form demands an alteration.
Someone will put forward the argument that
the law does not represent justice, which ar
cument will he admitted, but we, as struggling
humans are trying to make the law the emblem
If justice ana it does not follow that we should
emulate opinion or justice at the expense OF

peal this dormant law. ] aimos. ncsitaSc- when

Granting for the sake of argument that there
Is such thing as dormant law existing in the
city of Richmond at the present moment, can
the men and women OF Richmond allow pro-
Duct of the centuries. which has the rich
est blood of nations to sleep for even a week 8
time? win the people of Richmond be offended
if with courageous modesty / ask that they
align themselves in performing their grand but
simple duty. and make this a living law; that
they enter into the accomplishment not with
spirit of anarchy, but with a spirit OF good
fellowship? Public opinion is the strongest
known fortress
But returning to the two differences: First.
either The Nreinian is consciously or uncon-
sciouslv trying to deceive the reading public OF
the existence of such a law, the gudances OF
the law are not able, unwilling to line up
to their oaths of officers As understand it the
law is in black and white and The Virginian is
not trying to fool anyone. therefore the second
inference is the one that holds. The solution is
up 10 the citizens of Richmond. The citizens

These are personal viz VS.. not an attempt to
incrminate personalities, We can never see
ourselves as well as other people see us.
and / cannot afford to take much time TO
offer all the above as mere suggestions, but as
planes OF hastv and wcll-defned action.
