It is possible that when we pass on
to our ultimate rewards our children
may inherit a better world than the
one in which we are living today. The
experiences thru which we are passing
may Undue us with knowledge and fur
nish US with the wisdom to apply it
for the good of posterity. Having
fallen into the pitfalls of life ourselves
we may have the resourcefulness to
teach our children. to. avoid them A
man never picks up the same hot polk
er twice And we ofEtoday have pick
ed up so many, and of such varying
degrees of heat, it is to be hoped
there will be but few left to scorch
the fingers of our offspring.
Your character is your own and you
value it above all things. How would
you like to have it besmirched and
blackened in the eyes of the world
Get in the race for president of the
United States. Your political enemies
will convict you of every sin in the
decalogue and paint you so black the
darkness of night will be Illuminating
in comparison. If you have made a
mistaken life it will be paraded for
the edifcation cf the. public. If you
have been circumspect your very vir-
tues will be distorted into diabolical
sins of omission and commission. For
the Rule of politics, you know, is not
of the Golden hue.
People who smart under the lash of
false charges and malicious accusa-
tions have at least one ray of COM
fort to cheer them thru life. In death
they will not be robbed of the fruits
of their virtues. When st. Peter halts
them at the gates he will have a rec
ord of their deeds so complete that no
single. incident will be omitted. Every
act will be judged in fairness and
without bias, and the divine spirit of
manevolence will prevail over ALL.
There will be no false charges or ma
licious accusations at the gates Of
Paradise. All who are worthy will be

In tie absence of fali information, but guided by verbal reports, it would appear that the city offers opportun- ity for developing natural gas in con- melcial quantities. This would provide incentive for the establishment of some industry demanding cheap fuel and power. Fishermen report that crab may be found in sufficient quant- ity to justify crab canning plant. Others report the halibut banks suf- ficiently close to warrant their con- alteration in connection with cold stor- ,ge Tho there is the codfish indust- ry calling for curing and marketing dried codfish and smoked codfish, which is rapidly challenging finnan ,addie as a smoked fish, and which IS being substituted for finnan haddie in eastern markets.
 Added to these possibilities is timb- CT suitable for wood pulp. By proper logging methods it will be possible to secure a supply of raw material and at the same time allow for reforestation which will produce timber of better quality than the present ancient grow tn.
 Standing back of these resources must be spirit of co-opperation and esprit de de corps wherein every cit zen, regardless of his financial stand ing in the community, is willing to lend financial and moral support to the man who is trying to solve the TO- blems.
 Every indication points to great influx of people from the outside dur ing the coming summer. It will be nec- essary to work out the problems and have whatever is to be developed in concrete form for the possible invest or. During the quiet winter months there is ample time to get together and thresh out the questions involved and when the steamships begin un- loading their human freight in Seward there will be something awaiting con- sideration of the man seeking invest
 tent.
 In the masure a community exerts itself in securing capital will remain the success of it's achievement. But homogeny of effort will prove one of the most valuable assets in it's accom- plishment.

 Progress in Alaska during the next year will be gauged by the measure of effort exerted by it's popuation plus a measure of government aid calculated to release the resources of he territory and place them within the reach of Alaskans and outside capital. Without entering into paternalism that would rob the individual of initiative and self-reliance it is encumbent upon the government to exercise liberality in it's dealings with the men who really have desire to develop the country, and suit ts activities to the needs of each and every center of population and source of natural resources.
 Coincident with this will be neces- sary for each community to inquire within itself as to just what resource is available for deve;ol ment. It will be necessary for someone to take the leadership, survey the field and bring prominently to public notice some especial resource or industry that may. be made quickly to exert its influence upon that individual community.
 In line with this program the city of Juneau has just set it's face to the erection of a great cold storage plant, and after groping through mare of difficulties finally found a way to in- duce outside capital to come in. Next spring a plant costing in the initial expenditure $400,00 will be erected.
 Each city and town has some nat. ural resources nearby worthy of con- sideration, and which may 6e the key to prosperity individually and collect ively. Juneau's is the halibut industry as we'll as the great mines on Gasti- neau Channel. sewald's may b some thins equaflly as important. It means. for sonmeone to discover it. E

COURT EXPLAINS
 JUDGEMENT IN CASE OF REV. HICKMAN
American Missionary Slew Major Upon Hearing Wife's Confession of
 Infidelity
By As.ssI.t.a Pres,

Bombay. April 10-The judgment in the case of the Rev. L. W. Jackman. an American medical missionary who re- gently was sentenced to two years inn prisonment for having shot and killed Maj. H. D. Cloete at Sadiya. Assam, sets forth that, although the accused had been for some days in state of mem tai torture and had. suffered severely, it was necessary to impose the legal penalty. The court maintained that human life was held sacred by law and that no man could be permitted to kill a human being no matter how griev- ously wronged he might be.
 Evidence was produced to show that Mir. Jackman committed the deed on hearing his wife's confession of inf delity. While the court held the deed was legally murder, the charge of mur- der was not framed because the com- miting magistrate allowed for tenn porary deprivation of self-control
 Strictly speaking, says the judgm ent, the proper course would have been to frame a charge of murder and leave it to the accused to prove there wasssud the magistrate used proper discretion in framing the charge.
 Although the judge did not doubt that the position of MT. Jackman was one of the cruelest in which a man could be placed, he would not admit the possibility of temporary insanity. saying the movements of the accused showed lie fully realized the nature of his act

OLD SAFE LEAKED

There is only one in existence. Ii has stood every kind of test under the sun. Fire doesn't hurt it. You couldn't blow 1t open. maybe, with six sticks of dynamite. It will last forever, seem ingly.
 It's an ice box made out of solid iron.
 No, this is not a keep lem cold forever advertisem
 It's just a story about an old iron safe that the purity squad ran across in the possession of Theo Ressio of East Thomas, whom, according to Bob Patton, they believed had a Cellar"
 The purity squad rolled up in front of Theo's grocery store in East Thomas S and told him they were going to search the house.
 According to information, Theo didn't mind. for no doubt he felt safe enough.
 They found the cellar, all right, and you had to get down to it through a trap door A trap door is enough to make any member of the purity squad interested so they began searching.
 But all they could find was an old iron safe They were aboht to go when Bob Patton suggested they turn the old safe over to look underneath.
 When the safe was turned over bot ties inside were smashed and precious "corn" leaked out through the door.
 Evidently Theo thought his safe was safe" or else he was safe from the Ilaunts of the police
 His trial comes up tomorrow
