Too Many Laws.

One of the strangest political ten
denotes of our time is the suddenly
increased faith of Legislators in the
power of laws to enforce themselves
once they are reduced to writing
No belief has been so continuously
and thoroughly discredited yet none
is SO alarmingly alive. Every polit-
ical philosopher from Montaigne'
day to this hour has recognized that
the best government is that conduct
ed with the least law and machinery
A multitude of evils attend the
naive faith of Legislatures in the
Acknowledgement capacity Of law as
represented by words on a piece OF
paper. One is an inevitable weak
ening of respect for a government
born of a disregard for its more
outlandish aspects. Another is the
uninterrupted encroachment OF gov
ernment or the governed, A third
and most distressing evil is the
appalling expense attending the
creation of multitudinous new
bureaus and off ces provided for.
The time may come when a
candidate pledging himself to
nothing but the repeal of two laws
fpr every one created will be gener-
ally supported.

Kurrent Koment Kolumn.

The Klan owes a debt of graft
tude to The Commercial Appea
for the free advertising received
in its columns, The space given
il teckoned at regular advertising
rates, would have cost several
hundred dollars, but much OF 1t
WAS on the first and editorial pages
where it was worth much more
t IAN the regular rate. On one
day recently, the space contributed
would have figured seventy dol
lars. While it is true that the
paper mentioned has not intended
TO advance the Klan's welfare, it
is equally true that success is
assured any meritorious movement
it opposes. 1t might be interest
ing news to the journalistic gentle
men who awarded the c. A. a
medal as a reward for its valiant
services against the Klan, if they
we're informed that at the first
weekly meeting held after that
award was made the Memphis
Klan, without any unusual effort,
but in simple, matter-of fact
way, as a part of the days work
took in by actual count not by
estimate, or new members.
Perhaps the c. A. will advise
them of that fact. Perhaps. II
any enterprise except a monopoly
had so little of the good of its
patrons as that paper has it would
totter at once into the hands of g
receiver, and when adequate com
petition enters the morning news
paper field here, the owners oi
the Commercial Appeal will have
ample cause to regret that they
permitted gang of papists ane
plpel dupes to usurp its columns
However, much as we regret to See
potentially useful paper prostitu
ted to the propaganda work of ;
foreign un-American hierarchy
we are fortunate in that sucl
paper is SO ignorant of its owl
loss of prestige as to come on
openly against the Klan thus as
suring the unfriendly consider
alton of at least Is per cent of it
readers. We do not want TIL
Commercial Appeal to quit fighting
the Klan as long as it continue
to insult professionalism by keepin!
the pope's tools OH its staff. w
do not belive it can afford to qui
now, without having genera
housecleaning and openly reform
ing and aligning itself with tn
protestant people who make it
existence possible. Just simply
quit now without giving evidenc
of a change of heart would be t
acknowledge openly that it ha
been licked and licked badly.
it should decide to straighten Il
fire the papists and act decentl.
it will be extended a welcome, b,
if it dares quit fighting now ju
because it sees it is helping ii

PRINCIPLE IS UNFAIR.

The Tongess National Forest for the year ending last June 30th turn ed in to the Alaska treasury the sum of SIS 3,7O9.60. Under the terms of the law this money is to be expended in the County or counties"in which the National Foresti is situated. In the absence of county organization in the Territory a fair and reasona- ble interpretation of the meaning of Congress would be that this sum should be expended in the First nj. vision.
 However, the members of the leg islature from remote sections of Alas ka have insisted on dividing this money among the four Divisions in equal amounts. In other words, the Second Division with one-tenth of of the population of the Division which produced these returns gets as much of them as the First Division. The amount involved is not great, but the principle of the thing is out rageously unfair.
 The principle involved in this mat ter is an argument in favor of di- vision of the Territory into counties, or failing in that, the division of the Territory.-Empire.

CHASTEK BUYS VALUABLE
 FOXES IN THE YUKON

F. M. Chastek was a passenger south on the Admiral Rodgers on his way to Spokane, Wash. MT. Chas- tek took about thirty thousand dol lars worth of silver black foxes with him. Five of these exquisite creat- ures were purchased of Mrs. M. A. Simmons of Carcross, twenty-one from William Conroy of Atlin, and four from Ed Narcotic of White horse. Charles Goldstein of Juneau also bought six fine creatures from Mrs. Simmons and six from Sam Chambers.
 The writer had the privilege O. going with MT. Chastek to see the foxes in their crates which were awaiting shipment The beautiful creatures were paired and were placed two in a crate with the ex- ception of two crates which contain ed three each. These were mostly quite tame and came to the wire mesh over the crate and one took a little stick from the fingers of MT. Chastek and showed considerable curiosity in closely examining it.
 This herd of foxes will add much to the Hercules Fox Farms already famous breeds Skagway Alaskan.

FIFTEEN LOCAL MEN INITIATED
 INTO THE ELKS

An event in the fraternal annals of Wrangell which will be long remem- bered was the initiation of a class of | fifteen candidates into the Benevo- lent and Protective Order of Elks at the Redman's hall last Friday even- ling.
 The officers and a number of members of Ketchikan Elks lodge No 1429 chartered the Prince of Wales and made voyage to Wran- gell for the purpose of holding a special meeting here to initiate a class of candidates.
 The lodge was called to order at about g o'clock Friday evening, and for the next three hours there wal something doing every minute with in the walls of the lodge room. The ceremonial work was most Iimpressively carried out. Md. P. G. Charles, the Exalted Ruler, is ex- ceptionally we'll fitted for the task of imparting to the novitiates the beautiful teachings of the Elks ritual. He has such an agreeable and natural manner that it is not possible for the candidate to d ,tect any difference when he is speaking limpromptus and when he is reciting lines from the ritual. The Exalted Ruler was supported by very compe- tent subordinate officers, all of whom went through their respective parts without the slightest hitch. The Ketchikan lodge may we'll be proud of it's degree team.
 Following the initiatory ceremo- nies the members adjourned to the banquet room where chicken din- ner was served which with after dinner speeches lasted an hour and a half.
 F. E. Bronson. U. S. Deputy Col lector of Customs at this port, and chairman of the Antlers Club of Wrangell, acted as toastmaster. There were 67 Elks seated at the festal board, and many of these were called upon and responded with fe- Ilicitous remarks which created live ly interest and kept up the happy spirit of the occasion until it's close At the request of MT. Gurr, the toast master called on the Exalted Ruler to tell the new members some- thing of the Big Brother movement which is being fostered by the Be- nevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Mr. Charles stated that the purpose of the Big Brother move ment more than anything else is to train boys to become good Ameri- jeans. He told of having been in Seattle few months ago when the Elks of that city gave the boys a picnic at Woodlawn park. The only serious part of the days frolic was the delivery of short talk on patri- OtlSm dIter WHICH AmeTlCd Was Suus with the flag in evidence and more than 5O,00O boys standing at salute "a sight that was profoundly i'm pressive.
