The Future Alaska.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Russia has done wonders for Sibe-
ria and for all of extreme northern
Asia by the great railway it con-
structed from ST. Petersburg to the
Pacific, and the Siberia of today is a
most prosperous province of the en-
pire, one becoming noted the world
over for It's marvellous agricultural
development during the last thirty
years.
Given the railway now proposed for
Alaska, the next ten years will see
that territory transformed, made a
most important section of the ma
tional domain, a participant upon a
large scale of the business activities
of the republic, at once an influential
factor IN our domestic and foreign
commerce.

Good for Mrs. Rachenbaok

From the New York Sun.
On bitterly cold day recently Mrs.
John Rachenback, of South River, N.
j., having disposed her eleven chill
dren in q manner calculated to con-
serve the heat and keep them COM
Portable, took up the work Of wash
day, conscious that il her house was
unpretentious it was clean, and that
If her means were not large she was
not an object of pity or an applicant
for charity.
To this woman's home-a home not
in any essential unlike those Of thou
sands of worthy, self-respecting
Americans-came an agent of the
State of New Jersey with a camera.
He took a photograph of the room
crowded with children and went his
way.
When Mrs Rachenback next heard
of this photograph it was displayed

Stockholders of small Means.


From the Providence Journal.
A Socialist speaker in Boston is re-
ported as saying: During the recent
Lawrence strike the mill owners re-
fused to grant two loaves of bread a
week to their employees, but they de-
clared a dividend OF 60 per cent. to
stockholders" How many Lawrence
mills did anything of the kind. 1.-THE
whole scheme Of dividends Is wrong
continued the speaker. Dividends
should cease" This sort of talk, it
need hardly be pointed out, is foolish
in the extreme. The idea intended
to be conveyed by such vaporings is
that stockholders are a rich class set
apart in the community from the
wage-earner, whereas the fact, Of
course, Is that thousands of laboring
men and women have become stock
holders in q modest way and are
vitality concerned in every such men
acing outburst as this. The number
of Misunderstanding stockholders in
the United States is yearly increasing
and it Is highly gratifying that this is
so. 1t gives constantly larger num-
Der of persons a material stake in the
prosperity of the country.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

in public by an agent of the State
Board Of Health as an illustration of
bad housing conditions and as a
warning to other mothers. Mrs. John
Rachenback, probably to the utter
amazement of those who displayed
the picture, was hurt and wounded by
this assault on her manner of provid-
ing for her children, whom, it may be
assumed she loves as much as does
the State.
Mrs. Rachenback did not whine or
dissolve in tears or indulge in ineffec-
tive scolding. She demanded that the
picture be withdrawn. She received q
promise that 1t would be. That
promise was broken. Thereupon Mrs.
RachenbaclS went to the place where
ii was on exhibition and when it was
thrown on the screen she arose from
her seat and announced:
81 want you to take that picture off
the screen.
"If you don't, III bust your ma
chine"
Whereupon the person in charge of
the exhibit, without q word of apology
to Mrs. Rachenback, took the picture
eff, not because its projection consti-
tuted an indecent invasion of u citi-
zen's rights, not because It's exploita-
lion in the manner in which 1t was
u5tu Wis al llutlGilSlDlt
to Mrs. RachenbaclS, but because he
feared that the spirited woman would
carry out her threat.
Mrs. Rachenbacls's conduct is here
set forth at length because she did
exactly what should be done under
such circumstances and furnished an
example to other citizens similarly
situated; and in the expectation that
the incident may attract the atten-
ton of somebody in authority in New
Jersey who possesses sufficient power
to prevent the repetition of such
grossly improper incident, and In the
hope that it may inspire in others Il
determination to fight for those rights
of privacy that jacks in office delight
to override and invade when dealing
with persons whose share of this
worlds goods is so small as to sug-
gest that they may be exposed to in
dignity and impunity. i

Opening of the Panama Canal.
From the Hartford Times.
According to Colonel Goethals, the
first ship to pass through the Pana-
ma Canal will not be the Oregon or
the Fran or any other picturesque
vessel, but either the Cristobal or the
Ancon, which belong to the govern
mentally owned Panama Railroad
Steamship Company. and which are
engaged principally In the prosaic
business Of carrying cement to the
isthmus. This decision may be rather
distressing to the spectacular and the
romantic, but It is a businesslike pro-
ceeding in harmony with the canals
purpose and the manner of the
canals construction.
The ships may be made to serve q
useful purpose on their journey
through the canal. And if anything
happens to them the loss will not be
really serious.
widows Who Have Lived Long.
From the New York World.
News comes from Knoxville, Tenn,
of the death Of "Parson" Brownlows
widow, at the age Of n1nety-flve. Few
people knew that until so lately there
remained this living link with the
whom Tennessee expelled because Of
his bold attacks upon secession, but
afterward recalled to be its Governor.
Yet how many widows of distin-
gulshed men have survived their hus-
bands so long that they have seemed
to trail phantoms Of history through
the living realities of a later genera
ton.

eral George Pickett's widow is still
alive. Alexander Hamilton's wife
survived him full fifty years and died
at the ripe age of ninety-seven.
To go further into the world, Frau

NATIONAL FOREST
 MONEYS COMING

Territorial Treasurer Walstein G. Smith has been notified by the aud itor of State and other departments for the Federal government that his claim for $S1 1,SO3.O4, on account Of AL askas share of receipts from the sale of timber in the National forests To- cated in Alaska for the years 1906 to 1912. both inclusive, has been trans mitted to the Secretary of the Treas ury for issuance and transmittal of warrant.
 This money under the law must be devoted to schools and roads within the Territory. The law was designed more particularly to apply to<the na: tional forests in the several States and difnitely provides that the mon- ey must be appropriated prorata among the counties in which the na- tional forests exist. There are no counties in Alaska and the comptroller of the treasury has forwarded the de- cision that the moneys accruing to the treasury of Alaska through the national forests must go to the Terri. tory at large.
 Treasurer Smith says that it will be up to the legislature to appropriate the money in this fund in accordance with that decision and in the mean time the money will be deposited in the banks of the Territory pending ac- ton by the legislature.

OUTLOOK GLOOMY
 TO LONDON TIMES

LONDON, Aug. 26.--An undercur- rent of pessimism over Englands mill tary chances runs throughout an ar ticle of the Times military expert, which says in part:
 Lord Kitchener does not find un- der his hand the means for waging war on great scale. We are dread; fully in arrears.
 "The president generation by it's efforts and its very patriotism is call ed on to make up for neglect, selfish ness and calloused indifference to de fence which has characterized one peace.loving nation.
 What Is the situation? We are fighting a nation of 70,0O0,O0O people, It is in arms to crush us. France has thrown the whole of her manhood in- to war. She can do no more. Russia is a mighty power with immense ca pacity for defence but with untried and improved offensive powers.
 we must take 1t that Germany will fight this fighS>through as the Kaiser said to the last breath of the last man and the last horse. Under such con ditions war may be long, very long.
 There must be no question of peace except at our own terms, even if all our allies are struck down. We should continue the war until the enemy has relaxed her grip. We are fighting for liberties and for the very existence of Europe"

coLoRED WOMAN CHARGED
 WITH COAL FRAUD

Yesterday afternoon an elderly col. ored woman, whose name could not be learned but who claimed her res idence was down on lower Front street made complaint at the United States marshals office that she had been duced the truant to come home for the neighbor into paying S2O for a small lump of very black coal, weighing less than an ounce, under the representa-. ton that 1t was charm endowed with mystic powers sufficient to bring her absent spouse back to his own fire side. Court house attaches say that this is the highest price ever paid for coal in Alaska so far as known.
 The complaining woman declares that her willy neighbor claimed to be a voodoo priestess and would under take to make a charm that would in- duce the truant husband home for the sum of S2O. She wanted her man and parted with the twenty. After days and days of weary waiting she be- came suspicious and commenced an in. vestigation with the result that the article sold as charm developed in- to nothing more than a lump of coal hence the complaint. It Is being in. vestigated.
