Tudqe Written Retires

Some Douglas people will no doubt remember Judge James W. Witten, who visited Douglas some 10 or II years ago ID the interest of the general land office of the United States. or him the Washington (D. O. Herald says:
 Secretary of Interior Lane yesterday accepted the resignation of Judge James W. Witten, as chief law officer of the General Land Office.
 "In accepting your resignation" Sec. retary Lane wrote, CT want to express to you the high regard which ] have for the character of the work you have performed during my administration. I have thoroughly a preciated your CO., operation and interest. l understand from those who have been in the de pertinent long time that your services extend over a period of more than twenty years and that during that time the government has had Che most con scientious and efficient service from you"
 Judge Witten, in his resignation, as signed as his reason for quitting the public service the fact that the salary received was not an adequate compen- sation for the work demanded, and he will enter the practice of law in this city. Judge Witten entered the Gem eral Land Office as principal examiner under President Cleveland's adminis tration, and was later made the chief law officer of the bureau.
 He was detailed in 1903 to make ex. tensive investigation into economic and other conditions in Alaska, and was later assigned to duty as the lead. ing attorney for the government in the trial of important cases in Seattle and Alaska.

An allrail route from Chicago to Alaska, recently urged in congress for Che protection of the new government lines in Alaska, is taking shape. Two announcements from headquarters of the Grand Trunk Pacific relate to this. It is considered possible that before the completion of the new union station in Chicago both passengers and freight will be transported over such a new railway route. Upon the completion this spring of branch of the Grand Trunk Pacific Co the international boundary from Regiua, through route for messengers and freight from Chi cago to the Pacific ocean at Prince Rupert will be established A conuec- tion at the boundary, a port of entry named Northgate. has been made with the Great Northern system. This will give the Grand Trunk Pacific an en- trance into St. Paul over the Great Northern rails, and over the Burling- ton rails into Chicago,

The Nome Nugget comes out pretty strong on the side of government own srship ir the following editorial: "The government viii eventually take over the telephone and telegraph systems and run ,bem Che anne as it at present manages the postal systems. The time will undoubtedly also come when the government will manage the railroads as we'll. The beginning of government control of two of these great necessities, the telegraph aud the railroad, will be right here in Alaska. In fact Alaska is being made the government expert ment station in the management of utilities. This is a very excellent thing and will put the territory far ahead of the rest of the United States iu certain very important essentials. The people of the territory even now do not have to pay the dividends of an over-capital- ized telegraph company. When the rail road comes the people of the territory will not have to pay dividends on the Watered stock or the unnecessarily high salaries of officials who control the board of directors. In his govern ment ownership and management of the railroads there will be a wonderful benefit to all of the people who live in Alaska and in time the experiment begun here will prove that the only proper and equitable method of mau aging public utilities is to have the government take charge"

The doctrines of socialism are as varied as the winds of Gastineau. They range from the seeming sublime to the ridiculously rotten. lt all depends on the source, or which willing mouth makes the announcement. As a general thing, the more willing the mouth the more rotten are the notions. Some socialists are SO sane that their ideas are attractive, and men of all political beliefs adopt them as their own. At this socialists roar, but why we could never tell. The proposition to allow the prisoners in the federal jail to work on public roads and highways was ap proved by every one until the socialist organization spoke. They condemn it in the most severe language. With their superior knowledge of matters and things they know that it would be a "brutal" thing to do. Like the preach CTS, they believe, perhaps, that the curse of Che Lord was the command to work. So they do as little of it as pos sible. Juneau aud all of Southeastern Alaska need roads, and good roads. Not within the lifetime of any who are now living will the U. s. government or any other government build an the roads that are needed in this country Why should not those who have sinued against organized society help to build the roads that will be a lasting benefit to tbis aud succeeding generationsY All the work that they may or will do will simply emphasize the need for more roads. Why not, thenY

The Skagway Daily Alaskan is some what worried about the condition of the stomach of the editor of the White. horse Star. The Stroller says: There is no cause for alarm. If the tables were turned, however, there would be reason for grave apprehension, as the editor of the Alaskan would have to cable to London, Chicago or San Fran cisco for permission to take a pill.

Alaska is not alone in her troubles. New York has started out to enforce Sunday laws. AS a start a number of photographers were arrested for taking pictures on Sunday. The next helpful work will probably be the arresting of all small boys found playing ball on that day.

THE SAGE AND THE DRUGGIST.

A sage was asked once if his ambi- tion was to become widely known as a prophet. "Yes," he answered, "but with qualifications. desire all ad. vantages of being a prophet with none of It's disadvantages"
 Does the job of a prophet then, have disadvantages?"
 It does, and of the most serious kind. The reputation of being a pro. phet Is like life insurance: you have to die to get it."
 The sage is quite right, but forth. nately for me, to become known as a good. druggist, one has to be Tive one," not pleasant memory" And what does 1t mean to be Tive one? One has to successful to
 be called "a live one" have never yet seen "a live failure" To be successful in business you have to give the people what they want"

PRESIDENT WITHDRAWS
 JONES' NOMINATION

WASHINGTON, July 24.-President Woodrow Wilson yesterday withdrew the nomination of Thomas D. Jones, the Chicago lawyer, for membership on the Federal reserve banking board. In withdrawing the appointment, the President wrote that he is not willing to allow Jones to continue as the Sen- ate's football.
 Opposition to Jones was on the ground that he was corporation law. yer and a director in the National Harvester company.
 Jones Is one of the leading lawyers of the Chicago bar, ranked by many authorities as next to Judge Wilson as the leading lawyer of the city. He is wealthy, making his fortune in min- ing development and operation. He is said to have become associated with the harvester trust at the solicitation of the working men when there was trouble between them and their em- ployers. Since he became associated with the company there have been no labor troubles.
 There was strong opposition to his confirmation among farmers who dis like the methods of the National liar. yester company.
