 Several special prizes have been offered in the different depart ments. -- --
 After the business session a short intermission was taken. At its close Miss Keenan read an interest ing paper on the theme chosen for the evenings program, "Adoles- cen"e." That her subject was well presented and unusually interest ing was evident by the appreciation with which it was received. Noth- ing further need be said about 1t, however, since by request 1t will be published in the Daily Alaskan early heXt week.
 Rev. L. H. Pedersen followed with a short, but instructive talk on the same subject. He emphasiz- ed the fact that 1t is the fathers duty to look to the education of his boys, at this period, iR those vital things that make for sound, clean men, for bodily soundness and cleanliness. If the fathers tnemselYe are not we'll enough in- formed to be the teachers, he point cd out that there were various ways by which they might get this information. He sounded the warn ing which is so often voiced now against letting the child pick ID from other boys" the knowl- edge of Himself which should come first hand from the parent.

FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE.

His Task Seems a Hopeless onS' Tee
 He Sticks to the Job.
 Every little while you hear somebody say: It isn't the expense l mind. It's the principle of the thing"
 United States treasury officials have found that the country is overrup with persons who feel just that way. Hero is one case: .- -
 Some years ago the crew of q gov ernmcnt revenue cutter gave an enter tainment of some sort, and, according to custom, assessed the cost of tho affair among those aboard. Each mans share was taken from hIs pay. One young man was not in sympathy with some feature of the entertainment and objected to having to pay his share 4G cost him only 30 cents, but 1t was tho principle of the thing.
 He began to write to tho aSsiBEnnt secretary of the treasury, who had charge of the revenue cutter service, and demand justice.
 That was years ago and the man hs9 averaged about two letters a week ever since. He numbers his letters, and the last one was numbered seven hundred and something. -..-..
 Two or three years ago he resigned from the revenue cutter service and iS now living In New York, but he is still after his 30 cents and the establish ment of a great principle.
 When Charles Dewey Hilles was an assistant secretary of the treasury Ae sent the man his personal check for 90 cents In the hope that 1t would end tho long correspondence, but 1t did not The man promptly sent back the check, saying that he did not want the money but justice, and that the 30 cents RuSe come from the government itself
 And so the correspondence goes o0 with no sign of ever letting up.-ctn- cinnati Enquirer.

WHO To VOTE
FOR AND WHY

We have eight men chosen as
nom inees for Commissioners and
two for Mayor. The Mayor has
the appointive power and pre-
sides over the Council, hence his
is an important office and the
man best-fitted for that office
should be elected. We want
men chosen as Commissioners
who are broad minded and who
will give the city the best adj
ministration, of course. AS Col,
ored people, we first want good
men - men who absolutely be-
lieve in a fair deal to all and will
give it. They all promise that,
you can't tell what a man will
do until he is tried, therefore
men who have had an oppor-
tunity to prove their veracity
and failed so to do, should be
spurned, but men who have pro-
ven to be fair and just should
be supported. We also want
men who will oppose the dis
criminatory laws or rather rules
there is no law sanctioning
discrimination in this state. So
the thing to do is to find out
how candidates stand on law
enforcement and equal recogni-
ton, PROF artionately between
or among III races and nation
alities and those who are fair
to all and will assure us that
we shall have just recognition
and that the laws regarding
public places must be complied
with. The men who will stand
by these laws, let every colored
voter line up with such 4 men
for commissioners and one man
for mayor and put them over.
But don't every individual ex-
pect to be a worker" and get a
large sum of money-and don't
go around selling your vote
you women be careful, don't
pollute the ballot before you get
it we'll in hand, you are proving
to be, some of you, worse than
the men whom you have been
condemming. We do not want
any stereotyped promises, we
want men to say what they
will do and say it in a way so
as it will be believed.

CONVENTION ARGUMENTS.

Voter, in New Orleans American
l hear various objections to it, but
principally by those wiseacres who
know what the constitution will be;
but strange to say these constitution
builders can never frame one to suit
themselves. They laboriously build it
up, article by article, and then in the
vernacular of the street, proceed to
kick the stuffing out of it."
The principal objection comes from
the corporations and office-holders. The
corporations are satisfied with the
amount of taxes they pay, and fear
segregation. The office-holder is salts
fed with the salary and emoluments
of his office and fears any change.
Let US see how segregation would
affect the parish and the ordinary tax
payer. The parish assessment is ap-
proximately $S,500,0O0; taxation 10
mills for the parish and 6A mills for
the State; or .O16A all told $S,5OO,O00
multiplied by .016A equals $138, 1875.
006A goes to the State. $S,500,000
multiplied by .0O6A equals $53,125,
leaving $4,000 for the parish.
The corporations of the State are
assessed approximately $2,120,OOO, leav-
ing under segregation $6,4SO,OOO for
the parish; but say $2,25O,OOO corpora
tons, which leaves $6,25O,0OO for par
ish assessment. $6,250,0OO multiplied
by .O16A would bring SOL, $3.50 for
the parish, as nothing would go to the
State. A gain for the parish of $751;
562.50 at the same rate of taxation.
Some object because a majority
of the delegates are lawyers. Framing
a constitution is essentially a lawyers
job if we get constitution which even
slightly approaches harmony in all it's
parts.
II not more than twenty per cent o.
the delegates were lawyers, that twenty
per cent would fran the constitution.
Not that the ordinary business man or
farmer is inferior to the lawyer in
mental capacity, but their training has
been different, A difference in train
ing does not imply inferiority in men
tai capacity.
