THE sLAcKER QUESTION

More regulations have been re- ceived by the officials of Fair banks regarding the stacker cases, and every ruling made by any of the departments seems to be in favor of these duty dodgers. Press dispatches from the States show that courts are imposing exceedingly light sentences on men convicted as slackers and treating them too leniently, says the Fairbanks News Miner.
 In the case of the men who are of foreign birth and who do not speak the language of the land and who are not able to read English, there may be some ex cuse, although the chances are ten to one that every stacker knew what he was supposed to do to keep within the law. But for the American born, or man who reads and writes, there is no excuse in the world and it is dis gusting to read of courts through out the whole country giving these men a few days in jail, and then restoring them to the posi- tions enjoyed by good patriotic citizens.
 To many old. time Northerners it would be the height of pleasure to see the judges of the calibre of old Judge Dugas, of Dawson, who used to size up a prisoner along the following lines on the bench:
 Well, your counsel has argued we'll and forcefully for you. You come from good family. You have never been convicted of crime before, and you. have some witnesses to say they think you will make good citizen when you get out. The court will tale all of that into consideration and be lenient. You will be confined in the penitentiary for term of not less than 25 years."

CHRISTMAS TUESDAY
 NEXT

Without the door let sorrow lie; And If for cold it hap to die, We'll bury t in Christmas pie, And evermore be merry. And Jack shall pipe, and Gill shall

 And all the town be merry. For Christmas comes but once a year, And then they shall be merry, Though others purses be more fat, Why should we pine, or grieve at that? Hang sorrow! care will kill cat, And therefore let's be merry.

Youths Will Cur Big Figure in
National Tournament This YeaH

Followers Of amateur golf are al
ready Specializing on the possibAi'
ties of boys in their teens winning
American amateur golf titles next
year and even the hest PLAYERS are
not disoounting the 1916 play Of such
phenomenal youngsters as Bobby
Jones and Perry Adair who took the
measure of Chick Evans and Ned
Sawyer in match play and who other
wise qualified as dangerous factors.
Unless the unexpected happens both
Jones and Adsir will play much bet
ter golf in 1917 than they did in 1916.
Jones is IS and Adsir three years
older
The remarkable success Of these
youngsters in golf is sscribed by
many critics to their nop-analytical
confidence in themselves.
They learn 70 make strokes and
their confidence carries them through.
They do not think of the possibili-
ties of failure-in fact they believe
the streke successful before hitting
the ball.
older players study out their shots
and are more apt 70 make mistakes
because they figure in the possibili-
ties OF failure.
For this reason it is argued that
perhaps Jones in 1--WE years OF Adair
in two or three will not reach the
eminent position in golf which
their youthful records would indicate.
These questions arc, of course,
purely psychological and may ar may
not be true.
It is certain however. that the
American links will be invaded by the
army Of promising youngsters this
spring who will make the present
generation Of great amateurs look TO
their laurels.
