BUGS ANo surTERFLiEs..

B. J. Prichard, one Of the delegates
from Wayne county, won fame for
himself through his vote on the Pierce
bill, which seeks to prevent. the spread
OF the San Jose scale and other dis.
eases affecting the orchards OF this
state. Perhaps Mr.. Prichard didn't
mean to do It, but he has been made
famous Just the same, as he has been
made the subject of poem, as 4 re.
suit. He sent q copy OF the bill to Mr..
Jos. S. Miller Of Kenoya, former col.
lector Of internal revenue under Pres.
ident Cleveland, and received In re:
turn the following. entitled Bugs and
Butterflies:"
BELL Prichard whom the voters sent
To Charleston.burg to legislate,
Made up his mind before he twent
To keep things going straight.
Bell played the game with skill,
And tried to put good measures

And bad ones MAIN and kill.
He showed them why It was he came,
From Trout's eternal hill,
To risk his health-likewise his fame

But when the solons in their might
Made laws for butterflies,
And sought to check the harmless
flight.
OF June bugs to the skies,
Bell bucked against the single trees,
And kicked across the traces,
Ashast that bugs and humble. bees
Could lose their resting places;
Yea, tumble bugs and humble bees
At last shall have no rest,
Condemned they are by laws DEGREES
To be the bug.man's pest;
outlawed they stand BY solemn act
OF those who legislate,
And bow submissive to the fact
They share q felon's fate;
But Bell, despite the cruel laws,
He tried his best to beat,
Stands pat, and hopes the bugs will

WHICH is RETrER7

There Is an element in our stale, q
few Of whom are at Charleston, who
a-e opposed to paying newspapers fni
publishing legal notices, financial
statements, etc. Which is better, Mr.
Taxpayer, to know exactly where and
for what purpose the public money
Is used, or to have It used any old
way by grafters. There can be but
little graft or misuse OF funds where
all public business Is legally adver.
tised.
Graft cannot well exist when all
finances must be duly published. The
persons who oppose legal publications
belong to the class who either have
no taxes to pay or who are gaping
for a rake-off OF some kind.-Tyler

PUT SOME "kIck" IN IT.

one results of dicussion of the na- tion's preparedness for war seems likely to be the formation of gen eral staff for the navy similar to that of the army.
 The occupation of general staff is to put into operation plans and re sources in time of war and sit around looking wise the rest of the time To be sure. we occasionally hear of the general stan testing some invention but really it is only about one year in twenty that the general staff is able to earn it's salt.
 We are going to suggest to Presi- dent Wilson and Secretary Daniels that if they have to appoint a general naval staff they put in one citizen who knows little or nothink about naval affairs The appointee should be some shrewd honest. courageous man who knows q thief from a professional eX- pert who can spot a faller or lobbyist on sight. and who has the courage to denounce man or body of men who seek to exploit naval affairs for selfish ends
 The idea that a general staff of di rectors, of army navy. railroads, or most anything else should consist wholly of experts or professionals is a mistaken one. It means a limita tion of views II means the taking of lot of things for granted that are not so or that are obsolete It means lack of publicity to which the public is entitled II means less explanation of the why There's no staff or as sociation that isn't better for having an honest, vigorous, kicking minority.
 This country doesn't need general naval staff that will stick together, cover up it's own weakness and look on silently for the fair repute of the navy. while millions are being wasted and war scares worked up for the benefit of contractors A general naval staff should mean brains, all sorts of brains. not merely brains bound upI n cold compress of red tape and

 He declared that the whole cost of the Thirty Year war, which it took 200 years to pay for, was equivalent to onlv four days expenses in the pres ent war. and the cost of the Napol conic wars 10 only one month of the present war

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

The DriscoH election bill introduced Fairbanks. and recently adopted hv the Legislature seems IS near fitted to the requirements of the Territory as could well be devised In general terms the law is patterned on the Australian ballot system and partakes of the best features of that system reduced to their most simple clements. Probably the most distinctive feature, however. is that provision which al- lows the qualified voter to east his ballot in any part of the Territory in which he may happen to be at the time of election. In this respect the law is eminently well adapted to meet the needs of a population, q consider able portion of which is more or less migratory and shifting This is made possible by provision requiring the signing of an affidavit hy the pros pective voter setting forth that he is duly qualified elector and thereby also obviating the necessity of the election judges passing on the quail fications of the voter While some exception may be taken as to the merit of this particular provision. as it is plainly evident that it may tend to allow certain abuses of the fran chise privilege. it is apparently the only feature which may be eharacteriz- cd as defective. In other respects the law is good and is also a vast i'm proYement on the present system which is about as poor as can bc em- pioyed. Instead of two or there bal bots as is customary at general elec- tions under the old law. the new meas ure provides for one ballot whereon the names of all the candidates are printed regardless of party affiliations As originally framed the measure pro- yided for the party designation of the candidate 10 follow immediately after the name but this provision was later eliminated by senatorial amendment, thereby permitting only the names of candidates and the voting instructions be placed on the ballot.
 As punishments for the violations of the law. penalties of from $50 to $250 in fines and imprisonments of from ten to sixty days are fixed
 
 Considered on the whole it is a well balanced measure and while a trihe lacking in some respects. seems we'll adapted to the requirements and will probably be found entirely suitable to the present needs at least. Conditions in Alaska are radically different from any other locality. Abuses of the elec- tive privilege are rare and it is sell dom that irregularities of any nature
