It is recorded that Lord Mansfield. the famous English judge of the sec ond half of the eighteenth century, lis- tened impatiently to un argument Of Sir Fletcher Norton upon a case in- volying certain maRorial rights.

The Democratic candidate, with the ruu backing of the administra- ton, finished a poor third in the racee, making a miserable showing
 Such democratic strength as has been gained in Alaska in the last two years, not being due in any way to the influx of population must have been gained upon the principle that there is money in be- ing a democrat today. The num- erical resuls of such a gain in this territory is too small to mention the gain being located around the centers of district government. In the past two years Delegate Wicker sham has done his greatest work for Alaska and has received his widest commendation and en- couragement from Alaska. There is every reason why the Wickersham strength should have increased eX- tensively in Alaska in the past two years, and no reason why the demo cratic strength should have increas- ed. As Delegate Wickersham two years ago beat the democratic candi- date nearly three votes to one, it stands to reason hat the wicker sham majority this year should be five to one oyer the democratic candidate.
 Figures won't lie, and here are the figures for the democrats.

The federal tax of one-half of one

fixed to all fire insurance policies to

sioners of the state of Florida is that
the companies issuing these policies
should pay this tax.
Under the provisions of section 30,
acts of 1913, Laws of Florida, agents
of insurance companies in this state
are forbidden paying this tax. The
payment of this tax by insurance
agents in this state would constitute
a rebate, forbidden by the section OF
law referred to and would subject
them to the penalties prescribed by
said law.

THE sENATE's FORESIGHT

AS the Springfield Republican jul
diciously reminds Colonel Roosevelt
the United States senate long ago cut
the ground from under his argument
that the United States is morally
bound to protest against violation of
The Hague conventions and the viola
ton Of the neutrality of Belgium. In
c0nsenting to the ratification of these
conventions the senate, on April 2,
1908, Colonel Roosevelt being presi
dent, passed this resolution:
Nothing contained in the conven-
ton shall be so construed as to re-
quire the United States of America to
depart from it's traditional policy of
not intruding upon, interfering with or
entangling itself in the political ques-
tons of policy or internal administra-
ton of any foreign state: nor shall
anything contained in the said con-
vention be construed to imply a relin-
quishment by the United States of its
traditional attitude toward purely
American questions"
additionally the senate has been
zealously watchful lest we compro-
mise the Monroe doctrine by depart
Ing from Washington's wise advice to
avoid entangling alliances. In 1906,
Colonel Roosevelt being president, it
authorized the ratification of the AL
geciras convention about Morocco in
a resolution intended for the protocol
OF the conference. This resolution
declared that the United States was

income exceeding ordinary expenses
by sS3,7S4,452.07. Nearly thirty-three
and half million dollars, pouring into
the treasury the last day, brought the
total receipts for the year up to 1884,
343, 10000, a million and half above
Secretary McAdoo's original estimate,
and turned into a surplus what had
promised the day before to be sub
stantial deficit.
Corporation and income tax pay
ments furnished the stream OF gold
at the finish. From this source came
$26, 161, 7S2.2S between the opening and
closing of the treasury on the last
day. Secretary McAdoo and other ad'
ministration officials were pointing to
the total figures as proof of their

HOUSE PASSES Lever BILL
INTENDED TO REGULATE PRAC.
TICES OF NEW YORK
EXCHANGE.
Author Claims the Bill Will Save
Southern Cotton Growers Mil
lions of Dollars.

Washington.-The house substituted
the Lever bill for regulation of cot
ton exchanges through prohibitive tax
es for the senate measure proposing
regulation by means of prohibiting the
use of the mails and the telegraph
for so-called gambling transactions.
The house put the bill through I'M
der suspension of the rules by a vote
of "a to 81, and sent it back to the
senate. If the senate fails to agree
to the substitute, the differences will
be taken up in conference. Senator
Smith, author of the senate bill, is now
campaigning in South Carolina, and
consideration of the substitute may be
delayed until his return, though Sena-
tor Smith of Georgia or some other
Southern senator may call it up in the
meantime.
Both the senate and house measures
aim to regulate alleged evil practices
on the cotton exchanges which the cot
ton producers contend keep down the
price of cotton. The senate bill through
the postoffice department and the in
terstate commerce commissions jul
risdiction over the telegraph would
prohibit the transmission of quotations
and lists of sales of cotton that did
not comply with the requirements as
to Standardization prescribed in the
bill. Both bills would regulate, though
they would not prohibit, transactions
in futures.
