RIGGS OPTIMISTIC.

SEATTLE. April Ex-Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., who has just returned to this city from sev- eral weeks stay in the national capital, addressed the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce today and referred enthusiastically to the interest now being displayed in Alaska by East erners. The attitude of Eastern businessmen and Congress toward Alaska changed, he said, when they obtained proper understanding of the needs of the Territory and the importance of development. "Ev- erywhere," the Governor continued, 'I was asked on this trip why the natural resources of the Territory were not being developed, whereas formerly the questions of Outsiders concerned only the climate. Every body seems to be interested in Alas ka now, and while 1 do not expect a large amount of legislation during the present session of Congress, the way has been paved for construc- tive policy" :-- IF: .=~ *..

MCCARTHY CASE ID END TON|GHT;;
 NIGHT SESSION

According to information received from Fairbanks today, there is cv- cry reason 0 believe +he Mccarthy case will come to conclusion to- night, during a night session of the court, and will go to the jury not later than midnight.
 The defense rested at l0:30 this morning, following which the prose- cution called a number of witnesses in rebuttal, and at 11:30 Assistant District Attorney Atwell began his closing address to the jury. Each side has been allowed three hours in which to present the closing ar guments, after which will come the courts instructions to the jury.
 Mrs. Mccarthy, the defendant. was on the stand nearly all day yes terday and gave the court a very complete history of her life with Dan Mccarthy, for the murder of whom she is now on trial. She told of nineteen beatings she had re- ceived at the hands of her husband. Once, in December, he had struck her three blows in the face, marking her up considerably, and on at least two other occasions he had knocked her down and then pumped on her with both feet. Her testimony was given in monotone, without feel ing and without trace of nervous ness. And when subjected to cross examination by District Attorney Roth, she held fast to her story, being at no time confused by the prosecutor. She left the stand at three o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 After the defendant had complet- ed her testimony, the defense called number of other witnesses to cor roborate her evidence, the number including Sam Godfrey, Mike Kelly, and Mrs. Henry Crook.
 Jim Sampson, partner of Dan Mccarthy, was on the stand last night, and told of his visit to the Mccarthy cabin after the shooting. He testified that Dan, who was on the bed when he reached the house. had assured him that "It was all my fault. I got what was coming to me-" And at least six times, Dan had urged Sampson to "call Anna so that I can fix things up." And when Deputy Marshal Miller had come into the room, the dying man had said to him: 'T want you to understand, I don't want any trouble over this"
 Sampson told of having made an examination of the bullet hole n the mattress and the hole in the wall, and was convinced that Dan was in the act of getting out of bed when he was shot. His testimony was very direct and unshaken.
 Pot O'Connor was called to the stand again this morning and ques- toned about the experiment con. ducted by Sampson. He said he was in the house when the examin- ation was made, and felt certain that Mccarthy was getting out of bed when he was shot. He said an iron rod had been inserted in the bullet holes to ascertain in what position Mccarthy was when the bull let entered his body. There was no

ting in the word practically" was
buncombe, and the News says it was,
then we are more than willing to cor
rect ourselves and offer our hum
blest apology for the mistakes.
The Esch-C Cummings bill, which the
News accuses Senator Lenroot and
Congressman Nelson of voting for,
and which both are willing to admit
and be proud that they did, is not such
bad bill after all when the people
come to learn its provisions through
other sources than the News. 1t
provides that the railroads can not
earn more than per cent on the
valuation of the railroads as placed
by the Government commission, and
not on the watered stock as the News
would have you believe, but if the
railroads should fail to earn less than
SIC per cent on the valuation as
placed by the Government Commission
mot watered stock then the roads
would have to stand the loss and not
one cent would come out of the public
treasury to make up the deficit as
the News would have it's readers be-
lieve. It is the most radical bill
ever passed by Congress in the pro-
lection of the common people. The
railroad boys, who have made a
study of the Esch- Cummings bill,
feel somewhat as did both Messrs.
Lenroot and Nelson about the bill.
They have since learned that both
worked and voted against the strike
clause Of the bill which was the OBJ
jectional feature to labor. They
have since learned that both opposed
the Plumb league plan bill which was
the rankest kind of class legislation
in the interests of few.
And remember you vote right when
you support Lenroot for the United
States Senate and Nelson for Con-
gress.

Back to the Right Tract
|r% HERE was broad American
ism, afreedom from narrow
partisanship, in the little
speech which Senator Harding made
at Worthington, Ohio, last week,
which by reason of its coolly unpre-
JUDGED philosophy of tone, was high
| ly refreshing in the prevailing heated
and growing hotter political atmos-
phere. Evidently inspired by the
ominous clouds overshadowing Europe,
and b. our own present escape from
implication in the calamities which
these foreign threatenings portend,
Mr.. Harding's words were pitched in
key of grave appeal to US to come
Understandings together in clear
visioned grasp on our bearings, in
the dangerous waters through which
we must steer our course to sound
American trerra firma once more.
I do not think I am pessimistic Che
said), but tell you, my countrymen,
there is just so much of menace in
the world this evening as there was in
the tumult of war. Civilization has
not become steady again. There are
wars in Europe today, threatened in
dustrial revolutions throughout the
world. There is an assault on our
inherited civilization, and / want our
country to steady down, to come to an
understanding of our Inheritance, and
let America stand as barrier against
the onrush of revolution and destruc-
ton throughout the world. We Of
America have had the supreme in
heritance, and it is the patriotic wish
of every citizen quite without regard
to political affiliations to preserve that
Inheritance. Some of US may differ
as to method, but beg to speak this
afternoon seriously and solemnly.
Let us hold fast to that which came
to US first through the sacrifices of
the founding fathers, and then
through those who gave us the pre-
servation of this Union, and cling to
the firm foundation, certain we can
always go on safely, and make an
effort to get back on the right track
and go ahead in the United States of
America.
Back to the right track: feet firmly
the old firm foundations Of our coun-
try built so wisely and so well by the
founder fathers" and by them but
tressed with that outward of the en-
tire structure--the Federal Constitu-
ton.
Back to ther light track; feet firmly
planted on the old foundations: away
with visions" and world heart break
ing folleries, and the tootlings of
"voices in the air." Back to the old
bedrock road of plain sound Amer
icanism, the old firm highway which
we have trodden to a goal of moral
and material achievement unmatched
in the worlds history.
That is an appeal which rings clear
to every real American, no matter
what his political affiliations. All
Americans worthy of the name want
to get back to the right track; back
to the old foundations. There may
be differences of opinion as to the best
and shortest road back. But there
is one thing that is very sure: that
the road by which we shall never get
back is the one which leads through
barbed wire foreign entanglements,
with a foreign super-government as
our guiding pilot.-Harvey's Weekly.
