 the drama of youth aud shows us that however important we may. have regarded our affairs, the march of time made of them. petty details.
 About all our early heroes. the or ators who enthralled us, the athletes who dazed us with their skill and en- durance, the men and women whom we regarded as of superior clay, these have fallen into the long sleep and nothing matters to them now. Yet in their day our little world revolved around them.
 So it has been with humanity from the beginning It has mistaken its temporary stay for a permanent con- dition. It has planned and schemed and labored and fought, and waxed great with its temporary importance, and in the end it has passed like the snuffing of candle, and with it all its hopes and fears.
 Perhaps some of us, even now, are attaching too much importance to our problems of life. Despite our fears, there is nothing cataclysmal likely to happen through the falling awry of our personal plans. No doubt we should live longer, and more happily, if we accomplished our responsibili- ties without worry. It might take a bit of the friction from life if we re- called, from time to time, that this old world will move along quite as we'll without us; that the sun will rise, the birds sing, the children play. the soldiers go to war, humanity will love and hate,. aud ships will go out to sea, for long time after we have ceased to play our little parts in the shifting scenes of human life on this sphere.-Cordova Times: ...

IT. PAYS TO, ADVERTISE.


 Joseph Beecham, who died the other day, demonstrated that if one has something to sell worth selling fortune is only consequent upon let ting the world know about it.
 Beecham was an English farm boy whose greatest ambition was to be a horse doctor. He invented a pill and brought it before the public with such results that he was decorated by the Czar of Russia, in order probably to avoid sampling his pills, and created a baronet by his king for the same reason. He accumulated a personal fortune of $140,000,0O0 out of those infinitesimal. globules of misery and caused the world to marvel.
 Beecham was never satisfied if his name was not before the public. He on every fence and bill- board and spent millions of dollars in the newspapers advertising his pills. ....
 Wherever men read the wonders of Beecham's Pills were dilated upon in large type. People became curious and took his stuff to see if it would cure them, and 1t generally did of taking the pills. As we. remember them they were not the dainty little pellets patented by an American gen. tleman named Carter, but large, clumsy globules of mysteriously mixed drugs, and with a taste like a spinster's kiss at a church social one of the six for a quarter variety. They made up in bulk and deadly accuracy for what they lacked in daintiness.
 But they sold-through liberal ad- vertising; but whether the purchaser got anything out of them but a sur prised liver is hard to say.
 It illustrates the potency of adver- Using to the nth power, when a poor. unknown farm boy could make a pill for horse and convince human be- ings it would cure every i'll flesh is heir to. :'.-

PROHIBITION DOUBTFUL.

Notwithstanding the fact that the people of the Territory have voted by an overwhelming majority in favor of prohibition, the question arises as to how prohibition is to be brought about. It will be noted, says the Pe- tersburg Report, that the proposed act, in Section 4, barely says that, if approved no liquor licenses shall be granted after January l, 1918.
 To discontinue the granting of li- censes would require change by con- gress in the Organic Act, as at pres ent the power of making laws for licensing sale of liquors in Alaska is vested in the national law-making body.
 Further, the proposed law is silent as to illicit selling, and there is no re- striction whatever on the shipping in of liquors in any quantity.
 Also, measures would be necessary for securing from other sources funds Sho oNAOoAo' AhS Organic Act prohibits the levying by municipalities of taxes in excess of 20 mills. Most towns in the terri tory now levy up to the limit, and in addition have the license money. A movement to amend the Organic Act so as to permit higher tax levy would meet with strong opposition from many sources, on account of the greatly larger proportion of the ter ritory's taxable property-mines and canneries-being owned by outside capital.
 Mercantile and other business en- terprises, aside from liquor dealers, already pay substantial license tax under federal act, in addition to mu- nicipal taxes.
 In consequence of these condi- tions, the only method which ap- pears available to make up for loss of license money would be for the legislature to enact a poll-tax meas ure, and such tax would necessarily have to be pretty stiff-probably not less than $25 per poll.
