We note that the Treadwell, and we understand, several others of the big mining companies ofthis part of Ala ska, have stepped to the front and , aid their Territorial tax, when it is we'll understood there is DO legal way in which Co enforce its collection. We are pleased ts note that there are ciii. zens who wish to obey the law, even if there is no punishment possible for it's violation. If all men were built on that principle, the penalty clause at tached ,o laws would be unnecessary. It is wrong to kill or steal, but it is only the fear of the punishment that keeps some people from doing it. The Alaska legislature made some good laws, but there are thousands of good co citizens who will avoid obeyiug them just as long as lawyers and courts will help them dodge.

The following appeared in an 0ez- change not long ago;-"Amos Green and Miss Nettie Clark, both of this vicinity, were married here today Amos leaves four children by bis first wife and many warm friends"
 By a decision of the appellate court we are lead to understand that the Alaska poll tax law is null and Of no effect. The patriotic citizens who have taken the noble stand against the en forcement of this law, preferring to potlatch to lawyers, will now have their reward.

Hon. James WickershRm. Alaska's delegate to congress has taAen up the natter of the O'Conuor bridge across Gastineau, and is giving it his glorious support. He has introduced a bill in tbs House of Representatives appro priatiug the proceeds of the sale of tide lands at Juneau to build the nice, new bridge. Ln order that there may be no undue haste or confusion the Delegate has wisely slid in the little joke about the tide lands. But, when the Juneau tide lands ore sold there is going Go be bushels and bushels of coin to build the bridge. although, somehow we fear it will not be this summer, Jim, for tide lands are held as a sacred trust by your Uncle Sam, and turned over to the territory when it becomes a state. When that day comes and the towns of Gastineau unite to celebrate the opening of the bridge, theB should by all means send an invitation down Go Jim.

DECISION RENDERED
AGAINST WIN. YOUNG
Judge Brunot Holds That
Court Has No Jurisdiction
Over Governors Acts.

William L. Young. the depos-
ed bank examiner, lost out on
Monday morning in his suit
against Governor Hall, the audi
tor, and the treasurer to main
tain himself in office. District
Judge N. r. Brunot narrowed
the contention down to two
points and sustained Harry
Gamble, assistant attorney gene
raj, who appeared in behalf of
the state officials.
Judge Brunot held that the
court had no jurisdiction over
the actions of Governor Hall in
removing Young from the

Mr.. K. T. Catlett, prominent
resident of Rosa, who was cleo
ted to succeed the late Or. w. F.
Clopton as member of the police
jury of the fourth ward, took
his seat in the parish lawmakers
office on last Monday.
The new member had not
warmed his seat before he be-
gan showing signs Of fighting
blood. He made it plain that he
was representing the people OF
the fourth ward and did not hes
itate in saying that he would do
all he could for them.
Mr.. Catlett is truly progress
sive and has the interest of his
citizens at heart and judging
from his actions during the
meeting of the police jury this
week, it is a safe bet that he
will make one Of the best and
most progressive members of
that body. During the two day
meeting of the police jury MI.
Catlett made several talks of
interest, all of which were well

office of bank examiner, thereby
sustaining the governors denial
of such jurisdiction. The de-
cision further sustained the de-
Tense in that it agreed that since
the auditor and the treasurer had
not actually turned down a for
NAL demand by Young for mon
ey the mandamus petition was
premature.
Attorney j. C. Pugh, of
Shreveport, Young's leading
counsel agreed to the courts de
cision concerning the auditor and
treasurer and gave notice of ap-
peal from the decision of lack of
jurisdiction over the governor.
William L. Young filed another
manQamus proceeding against
the auditor and treasurer Mon
day afternoon. It is in effect
the same suit with the defects
for which it was thrown out
remedied.
Young alleges that the auditor
and the treasurer turned him
down fiat when he made a formal
and proper demand for 1915 sal
airy and s700 expenses for March.
The governor it appears, is ex-
|cluded from the second suit, the
question of the jurisdiction Of
the courts over his executive acts
being about to go to the supreme
court.

The HObSon Resolution for Amend
ment Fails in House by Vote
of 1S7 to 1S9.

Washington, Dec 22.-The Hobson
resolution to submit a constitutional
amendment for national prohibition to
the State legislatures was defeated in
the house tonight, 197 members voting
for and 1S9 against it.
An affirmative vote CT two-thirds
was required to adopt the resolution.
Immediately after announcements
o. the vote the house adjourned, the
crowd that ad packed the gallerie
throughout the prolonged debate dis
persing with mingled expressions O.
regret and jubilation.
Prohibition leaders declared tne
vote Of 197 for the resolution had
come up to their expectations.
Whether a similar resolution submit
ted by Senator Sheppard of Texas
would reach a vote in the senate this
session was not certain tonight.
Administration leaders were l.
clined to belieye it would not because
It could not pass the house.
Good Sized Vote.
Notwithstanding repeated public as
sertions that many members Of the
house would try to dodge a record
vote, tie roll call disclosed larger
attendance than the average through
out the session. To have carried the
house the Hobson resolution would
have required 258 affirmative votes.
II thus failed to carry by 81 votes.
