The fact that several towns in Southeastern Alaska. as result of the wet and dry election on Mon day, of last week, retained their sa- looms by very narorw margins shoul serve as a warning to liquor deal CTS that they must walk the straigh and narrow path in future if they are to be permitted to continue in the business. In the majority O. cases the unpopularity of the li- quOr traffic has been brought about by the saloon men themselves who have violated the law re- peatedly by selling to drunken men as long as the latter were able to pay for their drinks, permitted brawls in their places of business and permitting fallen women to ire quent their resorts. Strict regula- tion and observation of the law by saloon men will do more to retain the business than any other mea- sures. Otherwise, it will be clasSed as undesirable and will be voted out of existence by the masses.- Whitehorse Star.

 The flower lover is usually poet and poets are often, sympathetic flower lovers. Bacon has put on record his sentiment that because the breath of flOwerD is far sweet CT in theair (where it comes and goes, like the .warbling of music) than in the hand, nothing is more fit for that delight than tG know what be tha flowers and plants that do best perfume the air We, or modern times are more apt to think of what flowers will best grow in the house, what will last longest worn for the corsage, what will best ornament our dinner tables and so on."
 "Our early New England poet, Lowell, too, loved flowers as they grey naturally and humbly. Dear common flower he said, that grow'st beside the way, fringing the dusty road with harmless gold Not blossoming to be bought with gold or to enrich the grower, but of its Jwn free will giving good gifts to every weary traveller.
 q think perhaps there were more flower lovers in the world before we had conseryatories and hothous- e. and yet we imagine that our eff fort to grow more flowers, to grow them more elaborately and eccen- tricalIy proves us to be artists full O, love of thg-beautiful. But these poets who really see straight, who know Nature, who are inspired by her, do not write of floral eXhibi- tions or prize chrysanthemum shows or the height and depth of con ssrvatories; rather they, as did Suenser of old, tell you of roses red and yiolets blew and all the sweetest flowers that in the forrest grew "-C.

RECOGNITION HAS COME LATE

A large section of the American press and Of the American public Imagined at Prof. Samuel P. Langley of the Smithsonian. institution, Washington, D. C., when his aero drome at Whitewater, Va, in Decem- Der, 1903, met with its second and final defeat. Further expenditure of time and money by congress on such ridiculous experiments" was widely condemned. When the in yeutOr insisted that the fault was not in the idea behind the aero drome, but simply in the mechan ism, little attention or respect was paid hlm. The statement that the machine fell through lack of power ro fly" he said, lis 8 wholly mis- taken one. This" he added, "is but one of the large chapter of ac- cidents that beset the initial Stages of any experiment so novel as. this. ' Eut the press and the public, hay ing had their laugh, were too busy about other things to give further heed 10 Professor Langley and his absurd" lying machine during the remainder of his career.
 In later days when the aeroplane WAS a proved success it was seen that 'ts construction was practical ly on lines laid down by Professor Langley, and the Wright broth CTS were quick to acknowledge their indebtedness to the man who had failed" Since then it has been proved that the .aerodrome with some slight improvements in it's machinery was capable of flying. Since then some of the. foremost in veutors of the United States have p1id tribute to the genius of Lang ley. The founding of the Langley aerodynamic laboratory of the Smithsonian institution is a national monument to him. At the Pana- ma-Pacific international exposition, as our San Francisco des- patches tell us, marked recognition is bestowed upon the man now uni yersally recognized as the pioneer constructor. of heavier-than-air fly ing machines.
 Th- quiet, scholarly man who worked out the idea of the plane -nIthemat'cally. and whose theory has been pronounced, in these later years, correct in every par ticular, lacked just a little practical Knowledge, or a little practical ad- vice The apparent failure was due primarily tc the refusal of Q clutch to loosen at the proper mo ment. Clutches have refused to loosen or to tighten in thousands O. other instances before and since, but the whole world has not been looking on, aud the whole world has not been impatient or uncharit- able. If the telegraph, the tele- phone or the automobile had been dragged into universal derision be- cause of early failures in mechan- ism, it is impossible to say how long the world would have been obliged to wait for perfection in these great couyeniences. The Wright brothers very. wisely be- took themselves, their invention and their experiments to the sand dunes Of western Indiana, and when they seemed to fail, as they did repeatedly, there was no company to ridicule or discourage or dishearten them.
 Recognition and honor have come late to the name of Langley, but have seldom teen given more un- grudgingly.

OUR THOUGHTFUL
EMPLOYERS
Rats Used to Test Value of Foods
Kansas Takes Initiative.

The state of Kansas has undertaken
the job of finding out what meats and
other foods are to be used by the
housewife in her efforts to reduce the
cost of living. Twenty-four white
rats are to be experimental on to find
out which are the best and cheapest
foods for wage slaves to exist upon
and produce wealth and reproduce
their kind
1t is really wnderful how these legis-
lators look after our interests. How
thoughtful of these men to use white
rats to experiment with. There are
thousands of hungry people, but if the
officials were to experiment on them
with different kinds of meats and ce-
erals and fruits they might die of star
walton or over-consumption. There are
tons of meat in the cold storage plants
and millions of heads of cattle grazing
in the fields, but it would never do to
place these at the disposal of the
hungry workers, for they might
choke themselves by eating too much,
and they might even get fat and lazy
and insist upon lying around instead
of producing wealth. There are mill
ions of acres of vacant land in the
hands of spectators, but it would
never do to compel these spectators
to give up their land to enable the av-
erage man to use it, because we would
then depopulate the cities and thus do
away with the average mans pleas
ure of hunting job. 1t would also
blot out the beauties of the country as
constituted by the frests with their
giant trees. Think what an eyesore
it would be to see fields of wheat, veg
etables and fruits and rowing cattle
instead of the giants of the forest
Yes, we are indeed lucky to have
such great men in our midst. To think
that these men should go to the troub-
lie of determining by experimenting on
white rats, which are the cheapest and
most nutritious foods makes us swell
up with pride.
There are plenty of the choicest
cuts of meats but they are not for the
common wage worker. There are
plenty of delicious fruits, but they are
not grown for u.s. There are plenty of
all kinds of eatables and wearables,
but we did not produce them for our
selves, hence we cannt be entitled to
them. If the markets of the world are
glutterd with the unstable products
Of our labor, we should content our
selves with knwing that we have done
our duty in producing these things,
and that if they cannot be sold to the
heather Chinee" or the dusky Indian,
that we should take our medicine like
the soldier on the battlefield And
should be die Of starvation, we have
the satisfaction of knowing that we
shall get our reward in heaven.

The United States Industrial Rela-
lions committee is sitting in Chicago,
hearing evidence pro and con in the
telegraph operators fight for higher
wages and recognition of their union.
President Newcomb Carlton and Vice
President Brooks of the Western I'm
ion Telegraph Co., both admitted that
the wages OF the operators are too
low. Edward Reynlds, general man.
ager of the Postal Telegraph, declared
that wages are all right as they are,
They are paid as much as they could
earn in any other work." he said
While President Carlton was willing
to grant wage increase, he was out
and out agin' the unions.
He admitted the principle of collect.
i've bargaining and said that "a re-
sponsible organization" of Western
Union telegraphers could be dealt
with. Our oppositions to the union
are well understood" he said "and
we will fight"
Konenkamp, president of the Com
mercial Photographers union, referred
to some of the Western Union meth
DDS as criminal and the operators
conditions as Slavery" He continued
that If one union suffered because of
Its leaders personality, he would
pledge that within 80 days after the
western Union recognized the union
they would all resign.
Edgar Barrett, a Western Union
employe, admitted that he was former
~ employed as a "spotter." Henry
Lynch, telegraph operator, claimed
his unionism forced him into exile in
Winnipeg, Canada.

A. 1t is, of course, always in order

the best method There is always con
siderable expense attached to probat-

where nothing is done and an admin

There is Il better method. The laws
of this state, Sec 5919 of our code
provides that husband and wife may
enter into an agreement covering any
and all of their community property
to the effect that upon the death of
either of them, the property shall vest
in the survivor, ipso facto. But this
is In the nature of deed rather than
