REoRGAN1zING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The Empire believes the Republican party Of Alash' s,onld ba reorganized It believes that the wefar of the Territory demands and that it is the dut of those Republicans whose first interest Is the pio eressive development of the Territory rather tha' personal preferment profit to do the orgahlAhs'
 The rightful office of political organizations Is U work for good government and sane development O the country Both of the political parties ot Alask should be organized with that end in view There no reason in the world why both the Democratic an Republican parties of this Territory should not b. workilsss for similar Both should be striyinf to advance the best interests of Alaska
 But the Republicans cannot be organized into { useful party in this Territory by politicians who's highest conception of their obligations organiza- tion men, is to try to obstruct the government aho to make those charged with governmental responsi bility unpopular The Republican party ought to bt organized that in the event of a change in tht political complexion of the administration in the na ton itcoud aid it in it's work in Alaska. But that Will not be the case if it is organized by those who delib eratey attempt to deceive the people by misrepre sentation by those who would legislatures ant other organizations for the purpose of creating disrust contempt for those who striving witt might and main the public welfare. It canno be made party that will the people by thos whose sole aim is at the game of persona politics. be made useful by those who hay been seeking personal advantage revenge for fan cied grievances through discrediting honest an capable officials instead of cooperating with them fo the public welfare. It be done by renegades Wickites and discarded Democrats.
 If the Republican party is to be made into worth

nd useful organization the rank and hle of inc party hose think Of the development ot Alaska anu Ter public welfare they do of personal political ad antage, must take hold of it. The politicians Who rave nothing else to than to scheme and trade ana ockey for place and power must be thrust aside
 Such successes as the Democratic organization ln Alaska has achieved have been deserved They nave one because the organization has sought to be ol ubstantial public service In the things 1t has stood or it represented the best sentiment and aspla ions of the people Alaska. And, incidentally ana qually important it has given the people good clean nd progressive government It made mistakes in the election of the personnel of the public service but it as corrected the mistakes when they were discovered and. has not counted the temporary cost to the
 c iening of organization which necessarily re tilted from the shock of the corrective operations It as considered only the public good to be served by its .ctons.
 The Empire would like to the class Of itizens have co-operaed in the Democratic organ zaton take charge of the Republican party and make
 it strong purposeful, public spirited organization or the public good It would like to see them redeem
 from the hands of the politicians who are playing he game of personal politics.

New Law to Bring About Fair Deal
ING in Trade in Eggs.

The legislature just closed passed
a law governing the sale of eggs, to
be enforced by the state food and
dairy commissioner. Commissioners
w. b Barney, of the department,
says the purpose of the law is to
fpromote fair dealing in eggs ana IN
crease the market value OF those
sold by requiring that they meet GER
tain standards.
only such restrictions have been
placed on buying as are necessary, TO
prevent bad eggs entering market
channels and thus lowering the mar
ket value of eggs" he declares.
'These restrictions will not in any
way hinder free traffic in eggs by
honest buyers but will prevent de-
moralization of the market by Unfair
buying methods.
The law goes into effect May %.
After that date it will be necessary
for all dealers engaged in the bust
ness Of buying, selling. dealing in or
trading in eggs, except those retail
ers who buy direct from dealers
having an Iowa license and who do
not sell eggs in lots greater than

is estimated that the law will affect

The Law Suit.

The law suit is modern substl-
tute for brass knuckles and the

in methodical and SYSTEMATIC man
ner does not disfigure anybody but
the client who expects to win in the
supreme court A vindlctlve client

the law suit is pronounced success.

Law suits are conceived in hope
born of confidence and kept alive by
an expensive stimulant known as
the appeal bond This is a mild form
OF death warrant which enables a
cocksure client to talk turkey to
the supreme court by proxy, A
great many clients would prefer to
talk to the supreme court direct and
thus save the expense OF hiring, a
proxy, but are prevented from 40.
ing SO by laws against the use OF
prC fame language. 1t costs almost
as much to rent conscientious,
loose-tongued proxy for a nine-year
law suit as it does to run garage
in the winter time.
Law suits are always decided up
on the law and evidence, except in
Jury cases, which are usually deter
mined by one upright, iron-jaWed
juryman who was sued in 1894 by
the plaintiffs brother. The jury
system has been the salvation OF
many a client who has been Obliged
to rest his case almost wholly upon
providence and an unprecedented
blood relative in the jury box:
Most law suits, however, are. settled
by a supreme court decision render,
ed in Rhode Island in 1892 and
which, though dead, yet speaketh.
The law suit is an effective means
of separating brother from brother,
friend from friend, and both from
their money. After two brothers in
the church have gone to law over a
book account of S9.44 and have
chased said account through the su-
preme court and back. for re-trial
