JUDGE RUNNELLL ARRIVES TO OPEN COURT TERM
 AND DISCUSSES PROBLEMS

Judge Charles F. Bunnell of the district court arrived in Idi5arod last Saturday for the coming term of court here which is to open on Monday morning next. The judge was kept quite busy greeting the nu- merouS friends he made here during his former visit, and had lost none of his geniality which made him so popular at that time.
 To The Pioneer he stated that he re gratted sincerely that he was unable to hold the teru of court here during the win ter season, as he realized that business was necessarily hampered during the short sum mer season by the fact that so many men were out on the creeks at this time and that it was difficult to secure the attend ance of principals witnesses and jurors. Evidently the matter of a grand jury had not been given consideration, and as the judge stated that there were but six cases apparently ready for trial, the term is apt to be of short duration.
 The long series of criminal cases which have taken up the time of the court at Fairbanks during the term just ended have delayed the business of the court and there are many important civil cases awaiting trial at Fairbanks From remarks of the judge it is probable that this will be the Inst term of court here for some time, as thc opening up of Worl, on the government railroad at Nenana will enlarge the judges labors and will make imperative the redrc- ton of the time spent away from Fairbanks, It is also quite likely that the deputy court clerk will be discontinued at this point orders to that effect having been received from the department of justice.
 Attention was called by Judge B2nncll to the difficulty created in the hclhng ol terms of court in small contcrS of PoprIa- ten such as Idi,arod and Ruby by a Ia" passed by the last territorial legislature, In the endeavor to get rid of "prafassonal jurors the law provides that no person shall be qualified to serve as a grand or petit juror. who ,h.N have served on a grand jury or on d regular par2I ot a petit jury within two years r"A, before such juror is being eHa,nioej cn !is yoir dire' Under this law it warE. be !rH. possible to try B sorje, Of crlmng) case here. and it would be extremely dil1aJit to carry on the ordinary bushes, of the Court in case grand jury were c2lIcd.

The following announcement appear
ed in the Topeka Capital . few days
ago:
"A good roads dinner, lecture and
moving picture exhibition will be given
complimentary to the farmers, at the
Commercial Club tonight, starting at
Z o'clock"
Kansas farmers proclaimed with .
flourish of Kansas trumpets recently
that they owned more automobiles,
in proportion to population, than
their brethren in almost any other
state. Then they found the cars
wouldn't work. Ruts and mud and
mire prevented. Hence the new idea:
a campaign for good roads.
A start is to be made by construct
ing a highway from Kansas City to
Topeka, 70 miles. At the dinner an
nouncement was made that the road
is to be built without porcine attach
ments. The farmers themselves will
foot the bill and the road will be KAN
sass own.
A district is to be formed includ-
ing lands within two miles on each
side Of the highway. and the cost, $5,-
625 mile. will be distributed over a
territory Of four square miles. maxi
ing an average levy of $2.20 an acre.
The farmers are enthusiastic. They
figure that the road will more than
pay for itself in very few years. It's
a good Kansas idea.-New York Sun.
1t IS a good Kansas idea, and It
might be adopted in other states, even
where federal aid supplements special
road building provisions. A city Is
known by it's streets and state by
its highways. Good roads are not only
a money saver to residents but q mon
eymaker by inviting and pleasing Wis
itors. We cannot have too much good
road and the more we have the better
the selling or owning value of the
property it serves.

Cuba and Mexico.

Henry Watterson, the veteran editor
of the Louisville Courier-Journal and
grand old man Of Democracy, Is out
spoken in his contempt for "watchful
waiting" in Mexico. He has passed
several months in Cuba and draws
sharp contrasts in our policies operat-
Ing toward Cuba and Mexico. He is
not complimentary to President Will
son. He has no illusions about Mexi-
co.'s future under the Wilson hit or
miss treatment.
Mr.. watterson suggests that Cuba
would have its regular and succeeding
revolutions and unsettlement of busi-
ness, as per the old schedule, If 1t
were not for fear Of Yankee interven-
ton. Uncle Sam intervened three
times in its affairs, restored law and
order and cleaned its house. Cuba
Is now very much like a growing boy
who has been subjected to parental
control, and who knows that II he does
to his case. Thus. Cuba today is be-
having itself and has peace and order
because 1t feels that 1t can retain con-
troll Of it's own government in no other
way.
Comparing this condition with Mr..
Wilson's free hand to revolutionary
leaders in Mexico. Mr.. Waterson says
Of the presidents policy:
HE backed and he filled: he would
and he wouldn't: he marched up the
hill and then marched down again.
All the while the havoc and the loot
ing went forward, and now that we

kerando's whiskers who shall say
where we shall land, and when?"

years, Mr.. watterson is Of the opinion
that IL a firmer policy had been pur-
sued. II Mexicans had been required to
settle their affairs or submit to inter-
vention, peace would long ago have

EdQina Over Toward Protection.

Protective duties in the guise of

er Characterization Of the purpose of
the tariff commission bill introduced by
Hon. Frank Doremus. Mr.. Doremus is
a Democrat from Michigan, a strong
protective State, and chairman Of the
Democratic National Congressional
Committee.
Section 2 Of his bill (H. r. 11072) pro-
vides that 1t shall be the duty of the
commission, in cooperation with the
Federal Trade Commission, to investi-
gate "the possibilities Of establishing
new industries in the United States,
and to recommend to tho Congress the
encouragement Of new industries in all
cases where natural conditions, in the
judgment Of the commission, justify
the belief that such industries can be
made permanent"
Speculation Is rife in Washington as
to whether this bill represents another
eleventh-hour conversion on the part
Of President Wilson, for the purpose
Of catching votes, or the first move on
the part Of the Democracy to align IT.

with the approval of Democratic lead
ers, 1t puts the party where the Repub-
lican party was in 1860 when, in its

General Government by duties upon

adjustment of these imposts as to en-

not until the goth Of the month. but the
leaders are preparing the platform.
They cannot quite agree. or, rather.
they fear the delegates may not agree
to their desires on moral issues, so
they are hesitating on prohibition.
Some of the plank nailers wish to put
in that shaky old plank favosing re-
submission. again; but others are for
forgetting the question Of prohibition
altogether.
Some Democrats remember the Cur
tis declaration that the people might
know what to expect if he were elect
ed. and the manifest decline OF Democ
racy in the two years just passed. They
remember the sickly whine OF the Gov
ernor that he is helpless to enforce the
law and the disgust it created among
decent people.
These Democrats know the DISPOSE
ton Of the people If the question is re-
submitted for decision. They know
that at the present time the trend is
against Democracy and the sentiment
steadily and forcibly increasing against
the liquor interests and all connected
Herewith. They know that for De-
mocracy to place itself for resubmis-
sion at this time would be tactical
blunder that would prove costly to
Democratic candidates and to the
booze providers Of campaign revenue.
We predict that the Bangor conven-
ton will say nothing on prohibition.
And on woman suffrage the Demo-
Gratis Of Maine are likely to maintain
discreet silence. Some Of the most
astute politicians Of the party favor a
plank "skinning round the edges" OF
equal suffrage. thereby hoping to
soften the party record on the question,
but not pledging anything.

to sanction the action Of the Legisla-
ture at the polls.
But the real talk Of the platform

devoted to an endorsement Of Presi-

tional affairs and Governor Curtis ad-
ministration Of State affairs. They
will pat Senator Johnson and Dan

that unless he can have two years in
which to straighten 1t out, conditions Of
the States business will be worse than
