 Yours of recent date to hand. h. closed find s2.50. l would suggest for your peace of mind that with this money you buy rope and hang your self, as you will have more luck re- corning hell than you will in re- torming the lawyers of Alaska"

Or does he mean to say that in trying to reform law yers we are only singing psalms to dead mules? Or does he intend to convey both the idea that all news paper men go to hell and that lawyers hever reform?
 If this writer and old subscriber has conceived the idea that we are irving to reform the lawyers of Alaska he mistakes our mission. It has been our purpose to get as many 'f them as we can in the penitentiary,
