1t is claimed that a novel contribu-
ton basket for churches has been in
vented BY a Minnesota man. If a
person drops in a quarter or more in
the box there is silence: if he drops
a dime in a bell rings, a nickle sounds
a whistle, and penny fires a blank
cartridge. If one pretends to be
asleep when the box is passed it
awakens him with watchmans rat
tie, and a kodak takes his picture.

A Rockies Lament

He'll all summer
They took me from my comfortable
home and put me in a vile tent.
They took away my good clothes
and gave me a suit Of redhot khaki.
They took away my good name and

They took me from my good job

They made me 60 to church on

Sixty Veniremen Called Before the

Were Secured.

FAIRBANKS, April AFTER
sixty venirement had been sum-
moned to court, the selection of a
jury was completed late last night
in the Gray murder case, and the
arguments were begun when the
hearing was resumed in the district
court this morning. The case is
proceeding speedily today and it is
expected that all the testimony will
have been introduced and the case
turned over to the jury by tomor-

In the selection of the jury, both
the prosecution and the defense eX-
hausted their preemptories, and it
looked for a time as if it would be
necessary to call a second special

-FOUR REEL LAUGH
At SHOW 10N|TE

A snappy Paramount picture will
be projected at the Coliseum this
evening and promises to be laugh
producer all the way through. The
picture is entitled the "Wild Goose
Chase" and stars Ina Claire, one
of Broadway's best hits.
"The Wild Goose Chase" deals
with the love story of college boy
and a charming girl. About the
time they first meet and fall in
stantly in love with one another,
their stern parents, order them to
marry each to an unknown mate
The reason for this is that the
grandfathers of the two young peo-
pie are two rich old gentlemen of
France, and these two men, accord
ing to European custom, offer to
provide large sums of money if the
young people marry whom they have
picked out for them.
To escape the enforced marriages,
the man and girl both leave home
and happen to join the same wand
ering theatrical troupe, which meets
with many trials and tribulations
1t is not until the very end of the
picture that the young people, fin
ally learning each others real names
find that they have been on a wild
goose chase, and are running away
from each other together. The
story turns out all to the merry
as what they both desire and what
their grandfathers desire is one anc
the same thing-their marriage.
Popular prices will prevail, 25c
for admission, with reserved seat;
two-bits extra. The show will star
at eight o'clock. ".-...:"

Superintendent of Transportation
w. B. Raeburn returned from a
trip to the end of the line yester-
day and reports that the road above
20-mile is in such shape that haul
ing is out of the question for the
present.
A four-horse team, travelling
light, takes all day to make from
20-mile to 35-mile, and in the in
stance of Kenneth Case, residency
engineer from 43-mile, he was forced
to leave the double-ender he was
using at 35-mile and continue the
rest of the way on foot. -. t.
Mr.. Raeburn says that as soon
as the roads are in shape the haul

No Premature Roosevelt Offensive

COLONEL ROOSEVELT is too much occu-
~ pied with the war in Europe, with CIV
ing expert advice to the government upon
military matters, and passing criticisms upon
an administration charged by the American
people with the prosecution of the conflict,
to run for Governor Of New York. His mind
is absorbed wholly with questions of imme-
date warfare. with international as we'll as
national problems and with the kind of a
peace which must be made, to allow any such
diversion as campaign for the goyernorship
would involve.
The former President has acted wisely.
He has assumed that the nation leans upon
him for great service in this crisis. He does
not hold office as the representative of any
large or small body OF the American people
NO official responsibility rests upon him. He
has not been charged by his fellow-country-
men with any obligation, but he conceives
il to be his duty, nevertheless. to dictate the
whole policy of the government. II his mind
were taken from the problems of the war,
the whole business might go to pot. If he
allowed himself to be made Governor of the
greatest American State. he would feel him
self betrayer OF the interests of the 110,-
100000 American people who depend solely
upon him for wisdom and guidance in the
present emergency.
This, at least, is the view the Colonel takes
OF himself in his very characteristic state
htOaI oSSHH'hS tHe support "a luOSe 1Oi-
lowers who have urged him to accept the gov
ernorship nomination. His self-appraisal is
not altogether modest but then he is never
guilty Of undertaking his Importance when
he takes the country into his confidence. He
always proceeds upon the assumption that
he is the supreme leader OF party and people
alike.
II will be suspected, notwithstanding this
dedication on the part OF Colonel Roosevelt
TO the war; that he is exercising more dis
cretion than valor in declining the governor
ship nomination. He has nothing to gain by
being nominated by being elected 10 an
office which he held twenty years ago. and
he has a great deal TO lose, or at least to
risk. ii he were defeated in either the first
or the second round OF the coming contest, he
would start into the 1920 campaign with
heavy handicap. His own party people
those Of them who are looking 10 him as
new Moses-would wonder il he had not
lost his grip and the people who are tenn
peramentally and constitutionally against him
would make enormous capital out OF such
Reputation.
But the former President is at least too
shrewd to take TIE chances involved in a
governorship campaign. He knows that he
has swift. running start for the Republican
presidential nomination two years hence and
he does not propose 10 waste his ammunition
upon premature offensive. He will hold
himself il reserve for the final dash for the
White House.

The Census Bureau has issued sta
tistics OF the finances OF American
cities. They are not encouraging.
They show that most OF the cities. big
and little, ure spending more than they
collect. and are falling into debt more
deeply every year. Efforts to check
this disastrous process have caused the
adoption OF the Commission form" of
government In more. than 100 Of the
2l9 cities OF above 10000 population.
and they seem TO haYo been successful
Ut least In many instances.
The broad fact Of the census bulletin
is that l2o OF the 219 ran behind their
revenues an average Of $500 per
capita. The local fact OF the latest
full returns now available, those for
the fiscal year OF 1916, is that the city
OF Richmond ran behind far more than
that.
Richmond Is one of forty-four cities
in tho United states with populations
between 100000 and 100000 which for
census purposes are classed together
and known officially as group g." Of
which Jersey City, with more than
100000 people. is the FIRST, and Lynn,
Mass. the last. barely squeezing in
with--f6er3l6. The figures are census
estimates for 1916. Richmond Is
placed as the thirty-sixth American
city, and her population is given at
l5i,3l6 She is seventeenth in her own
group, and all comparisons OF her con-
ditons with those of other cities
should be confined to that group to
convey an intelligent Idea OF her
standing. Her net per capita debt at
the end OF the fiscal year 1916 was
S7i.07. Five cities Of the forty four in
her group owed more TO the head OF
population than she did these being
