perhaps, on a general and instinctive distaste for censorship of any sort. with it's invariably offensive sugges- ton that we-we.-as well as our weaker brothers need to be told by certain official persons what we shall and shall not see and hear. To help out this feeling there is the vague impression that prizefghting, though bad in itself, is somehow related to the admittedly noble art of self-de- fense, and by another impression, somewhat more definite, that this par ticular prizefight was neither very shocking nor very reprehensible, since the wounds inflicted were mere scratches and the amount of blood shed in it too small to pain any ex- cept morbidly delicate sensibilities.
 In spite of all this, the exclusion of the fight films from the country was entirely commendable For one thing the federal law, with which most of the state laws are already in har- mony and soon all will be, compelled the action taken For another thing, the action taken will have a most dis couraging effect on the commercial ization of boxing, which, when done for money, is most miserable occu- patton, full of fraud and in every way demoralizing. The blow to the would be exploiters of the public interest in a sport only commendable at it's rare and almost impossible best is severe and therefore satisfactory.
 Even those who are thinking, lit tie resentfully, that they wouldn't have been measurably hurt by seeing the fight films must confess that they haven't missed much. And should they say that worse and more harm full pictures appear on the screens every day in every city, they need only be told that while their conten tion may be true, it is quite irrelev- ant to the questions at issue.-Ex.

WANT CLEAN SALOONS.

The people of Valdez have declared in favor of granting liquor licenses The fight to have the saloons retain ed was made by the business men of Valdez, who felt that a change would work an unnecessary hardship on this town, SO long as neighboring towns still continued wet"
 The saloonmen, however, should not fail to realize that they must conduct their business in such man. ner as to entitle them to the contin- ued support of the business men of the town, failing in which, they are certain to be driven from business. Saloon keepbs have built up in the minds of the people much opposition because of the violation of the laws that have been made for the con- trol of their business.
 If the laws of the territory are obeyed, much opposition now made against the liquor business, would be removed The law provides lHdl drunken men are not to be served with liquor, that minors are not to be allowed in their places of busi- ness, that natives are to be prevented from securing intoxicants, that drunk en men are not to be thrown into the street to offend the women and chil- dren of any city, and that disreputa- ble women shall not be allowed to frequent saloons or to occupy rooms above them.
 If the law is obeyed saloon keep CTS will have no trouble It is the abuses of their trade that has brought upon them disrepute and the wave of prohibition that is sweeping the country.

.LEEHEY. DENIES
 BALLA|NE CHARGES
Claims Seward Townsite Owner Is Not Truthful-Says Seattle
 Wants To Aid Alaska.

SEATTLE, May 5.--Maurice Lee hey, a member of the executive com mittee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, today issued strong de- nial of the charges made by John Bal laine, of Seward, who insists that the Alaska Bureau of the chamber had opposed the purchase of the Alaska Northern railroad by the government and had boosted for and strongly urged the president and Secretary Lane to purchase the Guggenheim road operated out of Cordova.
 The business men of Seattle are not interested in the towns of the north," said MT. Leehey, ito the ex' tent of wishing to have one of them favored over any other, but is will ing to work for any legislation that can be secured to better conditions in the north and push development of the resources of Alaska to the. end that the prosperity of Alaska may be reflected in Seattle.
 Seattle wishes to see all the towns of the north prosperous, wishes that all the mines in Alaska might be opened and added to the producers, wishes that business men in Alaska should be prosperous and that the workers of the territory shall receive as high wage as possible, but never has member of the committee tried to push the interest of one town over that of any other.
 We have always tried to work in cooperation with the people of Alas. ka and their representatives who have come here on business and have kept us informed of conditions in the north. We will continue to work in cooperation with the people of the north for the advantage of this city and the people of the north, whose interests are identical-the greatest possible development of the north"

SNORING.

A physician who writes for the daily press goes to >some pains to tell his readers why people snore, and, presumably, informs them how to cure the "evil." But we did not read the article. We are not interested in why people snore, nor in anything to prevent it. The people who snore seem to get so much pleasure out of it we would not for the world sug- gest to them how they might avoid making the music. Besides no one is disturbed by his own snoring.
 Nobody will admit he snores, so it would do no good to suggest a remedy; there would be no one to take the remedy. The average man who snored will swear that he was wide awake when you accused him of snoring-and that settles it.
 You can hear fifteen varieties of snores on a Pullman car, and call the porter to go down the line and disturb the snorers so you can go to sleep, and every mothers son of them will abuse the porter for arous- ing them. Each will state that he wasn't snoring, but that it was the fellow in the adjoining berth.
 There is something so earnest about snore that we rather enjoy hearing it. It keeps one guessing whether the snorer will not ultimately explode. How the human anatomy can withstand the strain which we hear along the curtained pathway of a sleeper, we do not know. It would rend any other fabric than the hu. man tissue. It would wear hole in a piece of tin. It would warp a sEeet of iron. But the snorer goes through it serenely, and meets you in the lavoratory next morning looking bright and cheerful and you cannot discover that he has suffered any ill effects from the violence through which he has passed. No we are not interested in why people snore, nor in prevention of the music.- Ex.

Mexico's Destruction.

Terrifying as some aspects of the
European struggle have been. there
is nothing in the whole world so for
lorn as the plight of Mexico, and no
topic so enshrouded in gloom. There
is more hope in the worst corner of
Europe than in the brightest spot of
Mexico. In the period of Huerta's
dominance our authorities at Wash
ington pinned their faith upon Car
rama. He seemed to represent the
people, and to have fair prospect
of leading the way to peace and re-
generation. Later on the Admins.
tration was obliged to give up Car
rama as wholly disappointing, and
to make Villa, with his well-regard-
ed assistant, General Angeles, the
object of their prayers and hopes,
General Obregon has of late seemed
to hold the center of the lurid stage,
and he is in the field while his chief,
Carranza, fingers at Vera Cruz. A
high authority at Washington re-
marked in private confidence the
other day that vigorous American
leader could take a large trainload
or two of provisions and a million
dollars in cash, and march straight
to the City of Mexico with 100000
loyal Mexican troops, who would be
glad to serve him for daily bread
and small regular wage. Mexico
to-day is an anarchy, not an organ
lied political sovereignty. A mill
tary dictatorship doubtless will estab.
lish itself upon the ruins. 1t is
thousand pities that responsible
Mexican citizens who have property
and lawful interests in that country
are so lacking in wisdom and COM
mon sense that they do not urge the
United States Government to take
up the task of recognizing Mexico
in an altruistic and neighborly spirit.

BY John AIIardyce
'HaOw's that garding of yOUTn, Mr..
Rochester," inquired John Roches-
'ter's neighbor, surveying the little
strip of spaded ground over the fence.
."Wa'al, swan! Coming up, amt it :"
It's mighty SLOW" said John
Rochester, impatiently.
The old man tUgged at his gOatee
refectively. 81 dunno" he said.
PLANTED it two weeks ago, didn't
you? You got to wait and have pa
tience, you know. They say all
things come to him who knows haow
to wait"
He stalked away over the flats,
leaving John Rochester standing
modify in his little garden strip be-
side the tumbledOwn colonial house
he occupied alone.
The proverb came home to him
with bitterness. All things come to
him who waits! He remembered Les;-
bias despalr1ng cry that morning
when he last saw her:
But you waited too long, John!
You should have told me years ago."
John Rochester had inherited a lit
tie money from his father, the bulk
going to his younger brother, who
displayed that business aptitude
which he had never possessed. John
was nothing but an author. He never
aimed at anything but the scribbler's
trade, but he had that fatal fire
which cannot be quenched, though
it can be dampened. For Is years
he had toiled, struggling to win fame
and achieve success.
At 80 a little sport of popularity
with his stories had enabled him to
turn to novels. But here he failed dis
maIly. The critics roasted him IN
mercifully. They condemned the very

sort of tales and books that the pub
lie wanted. It was a fatal error, but
eXcUsable, John believed, under the
circumstances. He awoke to realize
that he had sold his soul and he had
not been paid for it.
For his first two novels were utter
failures and his publishers had re-
fused to accept the third. q
Then the iron entered the mans

room during those two feYerish
