A WIDE JURISDICTION

The magnificent" distances of Alaska are shown in the follow ing from the Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer; Frederic Brown, United States district judge for the Third Alaska district, with headquarters at Valdez, is a guest at the Frye on his way to Los Angeles to re- join Mrs. Brown, who went there two months ago for her health. Judge Browns position is un- usual inasmuch as he exercises judicial sway over about a fifth of the circumference of the earth ora 5000 mile strip east and west, jurisdiction extends as far west as the I8oth meridian, or nearly to Japanese waters. Needless to say he does not hold court at either extreme, but during the summer months he comes close to it, as he then embarks on the revenue cutter McCulloch and

ous things as this that president is willing to stake the peace and security of the nation and the lives of its citizens. There is no doubting that the international law is founded on spirit of strict and impartial justice but this fact does not stand in the way of its being disregarded or broken whenever it shall suit the purpose of any of those nations. that are strong enough to defy the cnti- cism which such action begets And that is about all the punish ment that follows even the most serious infraction of its principles criticism. Considering the alto gether dubious character of the law it assuredly seems that com mon sense would lead the presi-

 impossible for the country to be
 1unged into the horrors and de- ..astations of war merely because tat doubtful code grants certain privileges which are apparently privileges only so long as no one objects. Regardless of the terms of international law 1t would seem to be the part of discretion for the president to heed the in- tere5ts of ninety-nine million of people rather than the interests of a few hundreds who might
 .ecklessly insist on their right to travel on the armed ships of bel
 igerent nations, even though the. knew that such action would tenf

S25.OO FOR
 HERRING

The herring fishing industry of Canada has great opportunities before it just now. The North sea, the main source of herring supply .or Great Britain, is practically closed to fishermen, and in that fact lies the chance for the Do- minion to furnish the needs of those whose supply has been cut off. Canada has the richest herring fisheries in the world. These facts were brought out by Prof. E. E. Prince, of the marine and fisheries department at Ottawa recently
 ho said that the Canadlan her ring is quite as good as the Scotch fish, yet Scotch herring were sold from $Io to SIS a barrel, compar- ed with Canada's S2.so barrel, The herring is also as nutritious as beef steak and so makes excel. lent food.
 Recently" said MT. Prince, "an American firm offered, through the government, to purchase fifty thousand barrels of maritime her ing, provided that quality equal to the Scotch product could be guaranteed at the unprecedented price of S2s a barrel. This order alone amounts to a million and quarter dollars"

NOME, ALASKA MAR. 3, 1916

The prospect of an early settle ment of the submarine question through the action of the presi- dent Tn agreeing that the matter be decided once for all by test vote on the McLemore resolu- tion warning Americans to keep away from armed ships of the belligerent nations, will probably be received with pleasure by the rank and file of the American people, many of whom doubtless believe that the matter is finally taking exactly the proper course at last. As the president sug- gested in his message to Chair man Flood yesterday: The coun- try would like to know just where congress stands" The country already knows just where the president stands and 1t is proba- ply no bad guess to say that the nation realizes that the attitude of the chief executive is one that is not only very much against the spirit of democratic government, III that 1t savers nightly of ont man rule, but also that it threat ems to place the country in a sit nation of the most critical char acter with war as a possible re- suit.
 With a prospect of this kind in view 1t would seem that it would be the height of disdom for the president to submit the settle ment of the whole matter to con gress instead of relying on his own ideas of what may be the wish and desire of the American people. Instead we find him set ting himself in stubborn opposi- ton to the congressional body and openly denying their right and privilege of saying how far the country may be led into dan ger. The presidents insistence that Americans have an absolute right to travel where and how they please regardless of the con- sequences is doubtless we'll taken if we are willing to accept the in- ternational law upon which he bases his contention as the final word in international procedure. II this flimsy code were something more than a mere bundle of doubt full interpretations of certain forms of conduct backed up by nothing at all save a tentative agreement that is really no agreement at all when you come right down to facts, the nation would doubtless De perfectly willing to abide by its dictates and stand pat on any and every action taken by the president under it's provisions.
 But, the present struggle is dis closing plainly enough that the so-called law is law only when it happens to fit the views of the nations, especially those who are in a position to disregard its pro- visions. Germany and Austria have broken it repeatedly; Eng land grants it regard only when it does not conflict with her inter- ests and it is doubtless a fact that 1t would be equally disrcgarded by any of the other nations if it should daappen to conflict with their desires. Yet it is oyer such 6 dubi-I

BY all means let us avoid electing
a man for circuit judge who IS ad
dicted. or has recently been addicted
to the habit of drinking liquor.
Mississippi is making great strides
these days in suppressing the liquor
traffic and reducing the amount Of
intoxicants drank within Its borders
and it would be shame and step
backward for the man who presides
of that court which passes upon Of
lenses against the liquor, to be a
drinking man himself, for his sym
pathies would surely he with the
ticker crowd and his rulings would
be in all likelihood favorable to them
and make it hard to enforce such
statutes, There are men in this ju-

picion at this point. SO let US make a

BY reading the letters to the
home paper" which so many of the
legislators are writing. we are get
ting pretty good insight into the
sentiment of the present Legislature
upon a number of pending measures
of portance, as of course such
communications reflect the views of
their authors, as we'll as convey
their estimates of the business done
and in course. Among the big ques-
tiOns which the ointment sounds
out on pretty freely. is that of the
constitutional convention. The
Northern delegation seem free to ad-
nit in such letters the need of some
,elief to South Mississippi for better
equalization of taxation; more pre-
sentation and more equitable dis
trlbution of the common school
funds. But they express themselves
as believing that they will be able to
defeat the constitutional convention
at this session, which will probably
be done by giving hope of readers of
some OF the large looming evils that
are arguments for its being called, -
by setting in motion constitutional
amendment measures, which after
all are present hit and being sep
erately submitted are voted in by
the people, which is impossible to
do in voting in at the polls on a new
constitution, as the latter would
have to be ratified in whole, or a sol
id lump. The Fl RAIDS position is
that of being willing 80 receive re-
lief through any channel and con-
tent to wait on the convention if e.
nough relief is granted through the
amendment route when it is seen
that the convention can be had until
later on.

Hattlesburg Daily News.

AS a matter of principle, this paper
refuses to publish liquor advertise
ments. AS a matter of public. the
legislature should prohibit by law all
newspapers, magazines or bill boards

goods. If it is bad thing to buy or
sell whiskey and other alcoholic
drinks in Mississippi IL IS bad thing
to permit newspapers, through their
advertising columns, to encourage the
importation and use OF this outlawed

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
