Persistent rumors to the effect that
Capt. Ernest w. Gibson is to be a can
didate for appointment to the Office of
Judge of the BrattlebOro municipal court
add public interest to the question of
who is likely to hold Office after the ex-
piration of the term of Judge A. f.

former if he was to be candidate,
Capt. Gibson, who is now states at
tOrney for Windham county, stated as
definitely that he was not. When asked
if he would accept an appointment as
municipal judge he did not state posi-
lively that he would do so, but inti-
mated that if it was handed to him he
might take il, there being no special
reason why he should not.
Capt. Gibson is one of the four sug-
geSted for this appointment, the others
being the present incumbent Judge Ciud-
worth. Attorney Arthur V. ID. Piper and
County Clerk William r. Daley, as
previously mentioned.
The appointment viii be made by
GovernOr-elect James HartneSs after he
takes his seat as governor, and doubt
less the sentiment of the attorneys in

consideration by him.
As TO the qualifications Capt. Gibson
is abundantly able to perform the du-
ties of the judgeship. He has served in

years each. He has made an especially
| fine record as states attorney, and since
he took up the duties of that position

WHITE OR YELLOW-WHICH?

In passing a resolution debarring Orientals from entry into their section of the district the Stewart Citizens Association performed an act which it would be well for the citizens of Hyder to emulate
 But unfortunately, there is no Git izens' Association in Hyder.
 In the last number of the Miner a front page editorial urged that "get- together" meeting to be held here, giving as the main reason the formu- lating of building regulations for the protection of the town against fire, but stating that other matters of equally vital importance should be acted upon. Two of these other matters which it may be we'll to mention are the adop- tion of sanitary measures and a decis- ion as to the Oriental question which the Stewart residents have already settled for themselves.
 Is it going to be published to the outside world that Stewart is a white mans town but that the scum of China is welcome in Hyder?
 God knows the pioneer settlers of Alaska are men. Were they not men there would be no Alaska, for brawn and brain have been combined in build ing up the Territory.
 Being men, are they going to lay themselves liable to the contempt of their Canadian neighbors?
 We may have been too cary going here in Hyder.
 There was time last fall when 8 little cooperation and little firmness on the part of our citizens would have prevented the camp from receiving the black eye which has been handed to it at the Premier.
 The Miner is not suggesting that Hyder butt into the Premier's affairs.
 But it is suggesting that if any more representatives of the Yellow Peril land here they be shown the way to climb back up the gang plank.
 As to meeting of the citizens, the Miner last week passed the buck.
 Now it's your deal.
