HIDDEN IMPuRITY

"If American women knew how
much Of our Coffee lies on the ground
for days. before the berries are finally
swept up and harvested, greater care
would be exercised in purchasing
this food. For this Coffee is impure.
But its moldy color is lost in the roast
ing, and the partial decay is concealed
until it comes up harsh and bitter in
the cup. This fact is not generally
known to imporI ers, for few of them
have studied conditions existing prior
to the arrival of their ships in port
So writes F. c. Harwood. And Mr..
Harwood knows. His long experience
in the tropical coffee growing coun-
tries, his deep intimacy with planta-
ton owners, his close study of their
customs, their methods and the
Tricks of their Trade has acquired
for him fund of knowledge which
places him far in the leadership of
coffee connoisseurs, both here and
abroad.
Denison's Coffees are selected by F.
c. Harwood, personally, and it is here
that his power in the Coffee Industry
manifests itself to the qualification of
Denisons Brands. His wisdom and
critical discrimination is appreciated
by Coffee Growers the world over, and
their respect gives him first choice OF
the worlds finest crops. Thus, only

Changes in Auto Laws.

Much ado was made early In the
legislative session to change the auto
mobile laws. particularly in respect to
the distribution of the license moneys.
At the wlnd-up it is found these
laws are not generally modified and
the distribution of the funds remains
exactly as it was, rs per cent to the
county OF origin, and 25 per cent to
the state highway fund, all to be used
for highway purposes outside of cities
and Incorporated villages, after the
cost OF administration of the law is
deducted
One OF the Jew laws provides that
any person who drives an auto vehicle
on public highway while intoxicated
shall be subjected to fine not to ex-
coed 800 or to Imprisonment from
five days to three months.
Another act provides that a garage
keeper who keeps posted conspicuous
iy fee bill. may have a lien on any
auto vehicle left to be cared for. II
is practically the same as the hotel
keepers lien.
The speed limit law was amended
to forbid driving faster than eight
miles per hour through the grounds
of any county or state hospital or poor
farm.
Cities and villages are given author
ity to enforce ordinances regulating
automobile traffic not in conflict with
/ the general laws Police officials are
! given the right to exceed the speed
limit when in pursuit OF criminals or
law offenders.
The license fee is unchanged, So for
an automobile. 50 for motorcycle,
and $40 for a dealer. including four
| sets of number plates.
Secretary of State Donald has made
up the record of auto vehicle licenses
for the fiscal year and apportioned the
moneys TO the counties, Total receipts
for license fees was S417,925. Follow

THE ELECTION.

The Nugget has no desire to cavil at the results of Saturdays election; the sovereign people have spoken and We must abide the results be they for better or for worse Yet withall we feel that the stand assumed by this paper; that the interests of this dis uiet could be best safeguarded by one "r the other of the outside candidates who could al least be on the ground was well chosen Whether the result of the present election he faithful reelection of the wishes of the majority of the people of this district or not We cannot say. but we are nevertheless content to believe that such is the case and therefore We are perfectly willing to take off our hats to the winner with what grace we possess. It is also readily agreed that in all pro- bahilitv the new senator elect will most likely prove as efficient a public ser want as any other provided that he gets to the legislative seat in time to enter actively into his duties, which. by the way. is d possibility verging closely on improbabiity.
 Yet this possibility is apparently the desire of the people of the Second Di- vision and while the Nugget does not agree that this decision is a wise one it is perfectly willing to let the matter rest, being aware of the fact that re- gardless of whether the new senator elect gets to Juneau in time or not, the district will be none the worse off in all probability. and the public will have received some valuable sugges- tions from the results of the late elec- tion which may prove serviceable at some later period

 ADVICE.

There remains only a short time now before our territorial legislature will convene for business; and of course those of us who are always ready with perfectly good advice. will from now on avail ourselves of the opportunity and oblige our lawmakers alrght--about what should or should hot be done in the way of lawmaking
 This is merely suggestive, but If we are to continue under the present organic law---our power to legislate being of the comic opera nature-the first thing we would suggest to the lawmakers to do would be to introduce and immediately pass an act repeating every doggone law enacted by the last
 legislature, and begin anew. The reason for this is found in the fact that three quarters of the laws enact cd by the never to- be forgotten last legislature. are worthless. and leave cloud on the other quarter as to their validity
 As a second suggestion. we would advise that a law be passed to compel congress to give us the power to legis- late 10 our hearts content, and without any restraining appendices; such as must be approved by Congress" etc
 The third suggestion would be to re- peal a large bunch of laws contained in our codes which are detrimental to the best interests of the few. In the event that the above suggestions fail e have any support, We would offer he following as a substitutes and that $. to pass no new laws, of whatsoever lind or nature, as new laws are dan gerous.
