Doc" Baker was the star" bas-
ket shooter for the Hawkins team
Often the players on both teams
would stand and watch him take
two or three shots at the iron ring
without molestation.
Ladysmiths end of the score would
undoubtedly have been larger had
the local boys made any efforts in
that direction, but during tn last
half they frequently passed the ball
around the floor without any at
tempts at basket shooting.
Pugilistic proclivities inherent in
certain members on each team
caused near serious eruptions two or
three times during the game, but the
animOsities were of a fleeting ma
ture
Next Friuay evening the Barron
and Ladysmith Highs will clash at

SOCIET AND EALTN

Social classes are being formed in the United States based upon finan cial standings, which is certainly a thing which the people at large may view with much apprehension. The new copies of the World < Almanac for 1915. which were re ceived in Fairbanks only few days ago, contain 12 pages devoted to Americas s richest families, giving the descendants of the families and such other information as will tend to identify the living members of the families.
 The families listed in the World g Almanac are the Vanderbilts, tn, Goulds, the Astors, the Rockefellers the Morgans, the Mackays, the Have meyers. the Fields. the Belmonts, the Whitneys, the Letters, the Goelets, the Lorllards, the Carnegies, thu Armours. the Harrimans and the p Fonts.
 In our democratic form of govern ment, the sentiment is that each man should stand upon his person al worth and not upon the artificial prominence given to him by birth or family fortune But there seems to of money worship. The rich take every opportunity of promoting that sentiment and it is due largely to the increase of this tendency that the working class of the country is revolting against the rich.
 As matter of justice a rich man should not be blamed for his success. Indeed he should have some credit for accommodating money through his own efforts, but there is no reason why the rich should be worshiped on that account
 This increased tendency to show difference to the wealthy is the fault of the readers of the newspa- pers of the country. A newspaper studies the demands of it's readers and prints that which is the most desired. It has been found by the leading newspapers of the country that the public demands news and other comment about wealthy peo- pie, and therefore in order to get subscribers. they print that class of reading.
 Thus the American social aristoc racy that is being created in the United States is the product of pub lie curiosity, aided by a love for the power of money This class is being boosted by the so-called com mon people"

CRIME AND THE "ROW. "

The Times and News Miner of this city both lay the blame for the kill ing of Mrs. Harp a few days ago to the fact that the restricted dis trict had been eliminated. They both advocated the re-establishment of the district, that similar crimes may not occur in the future.
 There is strong sentiment in Fairbanks to the effect that the women of that class should be kept in a segregated district, but where such a district should be located is a matter on which there is consid- erable diversion of opinion. The Citizen believes that the present method of allowing the women to scatter about the city is diSgraceful and that they should not be permit ted to live in what are supposed to be respectable neighborhoods. It has no suggestion to make, however, in regard to where the restricted district should be placed. That is something that should, if possible, be left to vote of the people.
 But what The Citizen objects to is the suggestion made in the two
The Alaska citizen., 1915-04-12

daily newspapers of this city 10 the effect that the elimination of the TOW" had anything 10 do with the crime that was committed last week. Crimes of that nature occur in the most couSested parts of the large cities. where the police protection is supposed tO be the best
 In the Times there is an inference that the city should hire special police protection for the women O. the underworld Why not give the other people of the city the same consideration Such an argument will hardly appeal to the average person In this instance, the crime was evidently premediated which Is proved by the fact that the mur- ierer carried a rock with him when he entered the place, which he used
 in stunning his victim If a crim- inal takes it into his head to kill d person. he will find way and the mere fact that there are other houses and people near at hand will not prevent him from carrying out this intention. as has been proved thousands of times by crimin- al records
 The murder of a woman of the underworld II Iditarod a few months ago. was in the restricted district, and was so close to where other women were at the time, that a cry could have brought help. But the perpetrator of such a crime will not allow his victim to give an alarm.
 If the Times wants to have the old restricted district re-established, why does it not advocate such a thing without haeing to bring in such a weak excuse as the assertion that a restricted district will pre- vent crime. Tie editor seems to be ignorant of the fact that there is frequently more murder and sui eide in restricted district than
 in any other part of a big city.

ATTEND TONIGHT'S MEETING.

Tomorrow nights meeting of the Commercial club will be one of much interest 70 the people of Fairbanks. and il may be expected that if possible every public spirit ed man in this city will attend
 The most important thing to be discussed there will be the pro- posed road to be built to the scene of the Tolovaua strike. and there is no doubt that that is the liyest is sue confrontine the people of Fail- banks today Something should be done without further delay to deter mine a route, and if possible have a survey made so that if the Road commission consents to build the road work can commence with as little delay as possible.
 IL is now quite certain that the Toloyana will be good camp. It means much to this city to get a road there before one is built from some place on the Yukon. where the trade. in that case will origin ate.
 Some of the businessmen of Fair banks believe that the road will cost about >lo00 mile. while oth- CTS declare that it can be con structed at a much less cost One of the businessmen of Chatanika, who has been over the ridge route from that place to the Tolovana, declares that 5000 will put a pass able road through from Chatanika.
 l. has been suggested by some of the local merchants that a road should be built from this side of the Dome. 90 that in case of trou- ble on the railroad line it will be possible 10 send height directly from Fairbaa1 ro the Toloyana by means of autoa bile trucks
 Those men who have been to the Tolovana and can speak with some authority in regard to the condi- tions there and know something concerning the route. should be urg ed to be present tomorrow night. Information of that kind is what is needed by the club before il can outline its plans for getting the road built

THE SphSM'S SUBMARINE

This war in Europe is proving 10 be a source of education to the pub lie in many ways, especially geo graphically and historically. People read too. of war appliances and other things HOW of which they had never before been familiar,
 In just this way the editor of the News Miner has been studying the pictures in the magazines at the Panama club and has discovered or thinks that he has discovered, a kind of submarine that has an open deck. on which men promenade pre- sumably while the submarine is far beneath the surface of the water
 Just how this new kind of sub marine. discovered by the News Miner keeps from taking in water, even while on the surface. while the men of the crew enjoy the open air, the sunshine and the passing scenery, is not quite understood IL Is easy lp tblIIpI tiItIII utN C submarine almost any kind of an old submarine for that matter can be opened up in the quiet waters of harbOr where tie ordinary ocean waves do not exist. but by what magic one of these little cigar shaped craft can remain open with safety on waye-swept sea is another thing.
 The New5-Miner says the editor of The Citizen never saw a subma rine. This is only guess, and a very wild guess at that, for he has seen them, though they were not of the kind described by the News Min CT
 All this discussion about open-deck submarines resulted from an item appearing in the News Miner more than a week ago, in which it was asserted that when a German sub marine sunk British ship. the members of the crew of the sub marine were seen to laugh while the people from the ship were drown ing. The preposterous statement was questioned by The Citizen, and the latter seriously doubts the News Miners ability to produce a telegram conveying such a state ment.
