AN ALASKA ANNIVERSARY
Wilmington, Del. News)

Wilmington. Del, News)
 Fifty years ago Tuesday was consummated one of those notable real estate deals involving large sessions of property that have figured conspcuously in the history of our country. On that day Brgadier- General Lowell Harrison Rousseau, who had been named by President Johnson Goveronr the Ter rtory of Alaska, formally received the Territory Alaska from the Russian government, from which it had been purchased.
 little more than fifty years before the interest ing event, the United States through deal arranged by Thomas Jefferson, secured from France large section of country called the Louisiana Purchase, which was the greatest acquisition of territory ever negotiated Alaska comes in size and import ance and other acquisitions followed the Mexican War. After the war with Spain acquired the Philippine Islands, paying twenty millions of dollars for them, to say nothing of the cost of long war before succeeded in entirely reconcilng their un- ruy inhabitants to the change of ownership.

Juneau lead all the towns of Alaska in subscrp- tions Liberty Bonds and the First Division lead all the Divisions But they ought to lead, because Juneau is easily Aaskas first city and the First Division is not first in only by any means. Howevern there is glory enough in the million and half from Alaska for all the towns and all the Di- visions. All of them did well. Alaska is American and patriotic to the core, and every day she is hbiting the evidence of her right to govern herself After the demonstrations that have been made of patriotism and capacity for organized effort since the beginning of the war, should be any where to oppose full Territorial form of govern ment for the Territory.

ONE OF UNCLE SAM'S BEST BUYS
(Wilbur, Wash, Register)


 Alaska has been possession of the United States fifty years, yesterday being the anniversary the day ons which the U. S. flag became the symbol of authority. Much contempt expressed for the purchase of Alaska from Russia, the time but the seven millions paid has been proved to be only a trifle as compared with the wealth hidden in that northern land. The trade with the United States alone last year, amounted to many times the cost. Every year, Alaska pays for herself several times over. It was of Uncle Sams best buys.

MRoNG IDEA on NUMRERs.

IL Is passing strange what wrong
idea the average person has of num-
bers of people in a crowd, and what
gross exaggeration it leads to.
Nothing more nearly emphasizes
this fact and exemplifes ii than the
mob" said TO have been gathered
outside Of the Court House, in this
city the night that Snowden. charged
with the Brandon crime, was taken in
to custody
Papers of repute, reliable news
papers. grossly exaggerated the
number of people outside the Court
House on this particular night One
Baltimore newspaper said there were
5000 people another said 600,
when. in reality. there were not 200,
and most of these were colored peo-
pie. many of them being women. By
actual count there were Isl people
around the Court House that night.
There was no mob and no sem
blance of a mob The majority of the
mass" of people were colored, and
certainly these had no thought OF
mobbing one of their own race.
Why cannot newspaper reporters
of metropolitan" dailies be more
correct in their statements why can
they not be more exact, and less
sensational?
The Brandon murder has been
featured to the highest degree. II
has been PLAYED upon on all keys of
all instruments. until the public mind
is so disturbed it can think of moth
ing else.
The yellow journal is the crime Of
the newspaper age, and while the
morbidly inclined are its patrons. for
the most part. the better class despise
it's sensational methods
The press Of today is responsible
for many things. even the war. some
people say.

JUDGE RRAsHEARs.

The death Of Judge James r.
Brashoars yesterday afternoon came
as a great shock to this community.
Few OF even his most intimate friends
knew he was indisposed, and the news
OF his death was received everywhere
with an expression Of sadness and
deep regret.
All who knew Judge Brashears hon
ored him for his upright, noble char
acter. his steadfast Christian faith.
his high sense OF honor
The death Of this good man is little
short OF a calamity to this community
lie was a born gentleman, and he
lived up 10 IT, No one was ever too
humble or TOO lowly for him to speak
a kind word, and his sympathy was
ever with the poor and unfortunate,
she downtrodden and those who find
difficulty in helping themselves along
LIES rugged pathway.
Few knew the extent of this good
mans charity. how he dispensed
aims right and left, in his own quiet
way and he will be sadly missed b.
the needy and afflicted
No mans death has. in recent year,
fallen as a pail upon Annapolis and
PASSPORT as has the passing away of
Judge James r. Brashears, a man
who stood for right and justice, a man
who had no prejudices, one of high
ideals and who lived up TO them. A
man whose honor and integrity were
beyond question. Modest and unas-
Stunning. without Ostentation' he was
more fond OF his home and homelife,
and cared little for social life out
side His home was his castle. and
he its king. He lived near TO nature,
and only a few days before his death
he wandered about his farm and look
ed at his crops. of which he talked in
his delirium before his death
Judge Brashears was never asham-
cd Of his religion. He was a regular
attendant at church and scarcely
missed a Sundays service, until the
Sabbath he was taken III He loved
his church which will miss him sadly
In all walks of life he was a Christian
gentleman and stood for all that tends
tow upright Christian living.
When the summons came, although
II came suddenly and unexpectedly,
he as prepared to go. and had so lived
that he wrapped the drapery of his
couch about him like one who lies
down to pleasant dreams,
