NOT FAIR TO FIRST DIVISION

The Nome Nugget Seward Gateway and other pa pers are taking the members Of the Legislature from the First Division severely to task on account of the suit Co test the validity of the distributing the Ton gass forest funds that are in the Territorial treasury. They are explaining to their readers that the Alaska board of road commissioners had compensated this Di vision for the loss of this money. which admittedly Congress meant to be expended in the vicinity of the contributing forest by apprepriatng $9Oooo to the First Divisions roads
 This is not fair to the First Division This Di- vision paid S42OOO into the road furd last year and there is evry reason believe that its tax for that purpose will be as large or larger this year When that ssoOoO was appropriated to the Division by the road commissioners 1t meant that 65 per cent to 75 per cent of the Southeastern Aaskas contribution to the road fund was going be returned to it. To put it another way the First Division not get any part of the s165OOO general appropriations for AasSas roads and was to surrender from 25fe to S0fo or what she paid into that fund. Now because South eastern Aasas representatives in the Legislature feel that in fairness to the people Of their Division they should not consent to the establishment of precedent that would mean that the proceeds from the forests Of this Division. which Congress has declared should be expended within the county counties in which the forests Ie are to be distributed all of Alas ka the First Division to be penazed by being com peed to see an even greater amount of her contribu ton to roads through the license taken away and expended in other sections of the Territory
 Some of those in the other Divisions are contribute ing nightly to the sentiment in the First Division for separation from the remainder of the Territory a sentiment that really. the good of the whole Terri tory. should not be developed at this time and one that would not be controlling if there more dispo sition to be fair.

THE LESSON OF ARCHBISHOP QUIGLEY

The discovery that Archbishop Quigley, of Chicago who died recently was practically penless when his end came notwithstanding that held in his name in trust for his church property the value of s7oooo ooo recalls that great deal of unnecessary things are said from time to time about churchmen being more interested in making money than they are in Chris tianity Archbishop ouigiey made money, of course. Not SO much as one his great abilities could have made in other lines. nor by any much as his unusual services were worth to the property interests which were under his direction. But the record is that he gave it all away He lived simply and was frugal vet he had no money when he died. But thousands literally thousands-and very large percentage of them were not members Of his church. many of them indeed lost souls according the dogma which he be-
 eved and taught were helped hard places at his expense He fed and minstered to the poor and sick
 whether the poverty was Of spirit purse or whether the sick suffered from heartache physical ills made no difference He recognized the claims of all who were in need and he minstered unto all according to the need.
 Fortunately Archbishop ouigley was not an eS- cepton to the rule among churchmen. Thoughtful ob servatou win disclose that interest in humanity and things unordly prevails as generally among workers of an religious denominations it did in the begin ming when the decpes of old took up the work of the eruened Nazarene and passed it down to succeeding generations.

 In some respects American student life is finely democratic In other ways. however. the colleges and the universities have become citades of snobdom This latter has resulted despite the unceasing efforts of some of the noblest minds
 American colleges were not organized in teh spirit of the European institutions which aid to fit young men for the inricacies of arstocratc society We do not divide students into the nobility the genray and others at least profess not to- But class lines are rather rgidy drawn.
 The contrast of riches and of comparative poverty vividly reflected the college campus. Societies. ferences. generation ago many educational auhori- notably upon the Greek letter raternities Not much success attended the effort The instinct for secrecy and for cannishness appeared powerfully developed in the human animal of college age
 happy aspect of this collegiate snobdom has been seen the fact that many of the poorer students have done better in later life than their richer fellows They have been the successs Doubss they have found sol- ace in that But the universities have been the los CTS The lack of democratic community life has tend ed to make the campus barren.
 Another effort is making for reform. President Hadley of Yale lately bewaied the too large allowances given to some of bis students. The University of Michigan has taken up the matter in positive wayf The plan of the alumni to raise million dollar fund for the Michigan Union looks toward providing club at which all the students of the university may meet
 The desire to democratze the undergraduates is wholly laudable The accomplishment will be difficult But if Michigan can achieve success where so many other institutions have failued the value of the unver sity at Ann Arbor to the nation will be enhanced many fold

COAL MEANS MORE COPPER
Seattle Tlmes.)

Seattle Times)
 Given needed coal from Alaska's own mines. the Territory will produce enormous amount of copper next year.
 This is the situation confronting not merely the northern land but the administration as wel-for there is question that Mr. Wilson is sin cerey desrous seeing this possession of the repub lie opened up material degree during his admins tration.
 The dispatch north of George watldn Evans, a Seattle mining engineer with instructions to survey land into units of forty each is hailed the f nal physical step toward the throwing otthe coal fields to private enterprise.
 However. a matter of fully great importance is the drawing of leases that will attract capital to the North. where the market for the fuel already exists and where 1t is certain that additional markets will ex- ist as more mining enterprises are developed With reasonable assurances concerning the security of invest ments. there is no question that the money will be forthcoming
 Copper is in big demand at present and will be worth more next year, should the war continue than long, Given coal the copper will be forthcoming and the nation as we'll the Territory will prosper to a corresponding degree.

Americans are prone to think of Ericssons Monitor invention made in war time and for the Civil War but as matter of fact Ericsson had been thinking about ship like the Monitor for 10 years before that vessel built The boat was the product of long engineering eSper- fence and the labors of number of men, In the light of these facts it is clearly wise policy which dictated the appointment of an advisory board for the United States Navy at this time when the nation has abun- dant time and calm in which to do its thinking

EXIT HARRY THAw?
(Chicago Herald)

(ChicagO HeraIdl
 It has been said cynically that the sins man com mits and the misfortunes which to him make up his important claim upon public attention Shakespeare seems to have entertained the thought although he expressed it differently May it be proved true by Harry Thaw officially more and for all time, may hope.
 His crime is a thing of the past. penalty he has paid and for years he has been public pest Let him be forgotten rapidly, if it be possible, as an ugly dream which daylight efaces. Let him bid an eternal adieu to the front page May the sordid armour which long has been displayed like soed linen in the nations front yard be relegated to the lehal chamber of dead scandals.
 In other way probably than by the latest verdict could the incessant noise about this young man be sic fenced He has his freedom such it is. He should cherish it. that obscurity which is the reward of de living may he for those early years so depor ably wasted.

 K H. Won Wiegand in the New York World, says that the Balkan States are staying out of the war be- cause they have money, ammunition and war materials for only three months conflict. Therefore they must wait until the psychological moment comes when they can inter- vene for their own interests with the least possible risks and greater chances of success. The probabili- ties of Roumania joining Russia are now SO small as to be negligible from a military standpoint. The question of ammunition passing from Germany to Turkey through Roumania is like ly to be solved.

A private message to the Stockholm Tidningen from Berlin says the war weariness in Germany is becoming strongly evident in wide circles of population and especially among the poorer classes. Great excitement pre- vails and a proclamation of state of siege is expected. The Dagans Nyheiter comments on this by say ing that even if exaggerated, one thing is certain-among the whole German population a longing for peace is strongly felt.
