CRACKSMENROB
SAFE OF LOCAL
=. LUMBER CO.
Total of $s2.5o Stolen from
\ St. Hilaire Lumber
Company.

After breaking into the st. Hilaire
Retail Lumber company's Offices on
DeMers avenue, and taking $3.50 In
cash from the safe and forcing their
way into the Hansen & Maves feed
store at the orner Of Fourth street
and Kttson avenue, two burglars
were frightened away from their
work early this morning by Patrol
man Chris Nelson.
Thought to Be Experts.
The cracksmen, who are thought
by the local police officials to be ex-
perts in their line. forced an entrance
into the st. Hilatre Retail Lumber
company's offices through a window,
and succeeded in breaking open the
safe. Thirty-two dollars and fifty
cents. the total amount of cash in the
safe, was taken.
The burglars then forced an en-
trance into the Hansen & Maves feed
store by 2 side door, and were engag-
cd In attempting to open the safe
when Ohicer Nelson, covering his
beat near the building, heard suspic-
ious noises, and tried the front door
of the building. The darkness made
1t impossible for him to discover the
location of the cracksmen to shoot,
and they escaped by the side door.
Search Is Made.
It is thought that the men have
left the city, although the city is be
ing secured for any trace Of them.

II PAYS TO BOOST.

There is probably no person in the world who does not value the appro- bation of his fellowmen and does not desire their appreciation of his ef- forts. This is one of the most neces- sary and valuable attributes of char
 aoter, because without it one of the
 greatest incentives to good work and which will be of benefit to mankind
 as whole, would be gone. The de- 1 sire for appreciation is the foundation
 of fame. perhaps of honor, and of
 much effort. All this being true, it
 follows that one should give approba-
 tion where 1t is due; and not only approve but express the approval.
 There is q story they tell of Big
 Mike Sullivan's interview with Presi- dent Roosevelt some years ago. Big
 Mike visited the president with a prominent Alaskan, who introduced Mike as being very familiar with the situation at Nome. The president presently asked How are you pleased with the judge?' Fine" said Mike; 'best judge in the land" How do you like the marshall" Couldn't be beat" said Mike. "Are the other of ficials satisfactory "Surest thing you know" said Mike. How are conditions generality" Best ever" from Mike. "Wen.' said MT. Roose- velt, "vou are the first man from AL aska who ever visited me that dld not have a complaint of some sort 10 make. How is that?" MT. President" said Mike, did you ever work ia a gambling house?' No, never did" sWell, MT President, I did, and there they pay boosters seven dollars and a half a day, but a knocker only gets the worst of it."
 Like Mike. we believe it pays to boost-not 10 boast without some foundation-not to boost indscrimin- cerely where a boost is due A fail ure may deserve a boost because of the intention to try. A partial success frequently deserves a boost; but there are a class of people who look only for the faults and discuss them. They critieise only from the point of view of the pessimist Such criticism is fre- quent,y heard of our legislature and it's acts. That our legislature has not been perfect we freely admit Its most

perfection for any of hts laws; but oa the other hand, it has done many good things. It has taken initiative in sev- eral matters that the subsequent vote of the people of Alaska shows meet the approval of most of the people. 1t has not passed a single act that does not show an intention to improve the situation, and just at the present time, when it is about to meet again, it seems fitting that the people of AL aska appreciate their efforts. So far as this paper IS able to judge the feel ings of this community, allowing for a certain amount of honest criticism the community is we'll pleased with its legislature, and we may reasonably expect even better things from it in the future. Several of the laws have been passed upon by the upper coutrs. We'll defined ideas have been express ed by the power that has the right Of determination as 10 the limitations that are contained In the enabling act Such decision as the late decision of Judge Bunnell as to the eight hour law have pointed out possible defects, and the legislators themselves have learned much of the verse needs of the differnt portions of Alaska Ruby Rcord.

Not satisfied with her atrocities on lani, she has decided to throw aside all rules of naval warfa.e and to run amuck, tc stab blinIly at any ana all, knowing no friend, holding no traIi- tion of civilization or humanity sacred
 Germany has gone mad. Frothing and now s2apping in all directions, she in all likelihood will or already has incurred the wrath of the few remaining neutral nations, and they out of sheer need of protection of their dignity and the highest ideals of their nationhood, will be forced to break off diplomatic relations.

 No fighter rushes wildly In all di- rectioas, striking indscrminately, save one who has lost hls head. When that state is reached, reasoning power has departed. mastery is gone and only depravity and panic remain.
 The mad dog never is satisfied to bite his enemies alone.

 Germany may use the limsy excuse for her indiscriminate sea outlawry that Britain armed all merchant ships for offensive purposes, but this pre- text will not assay Germany may bring out great numbers of subma- rines. but British and allied wits will match the enemy on land or sea at any time. Germany has reached her limit on land, and soon the great smash-in will come against her there, and the time is not far distant when likewise she will make her final spurt on sea and be forced to send out her surface fleet, which will disappear be- fore the British grand fleet like dew
