 The law that builds up the people is the law that builds up industry. What price could the millions, who have found the inestimable blessings of American citizen ship around great industrial centers, after coming here from lands of oppression, afford to pay those who organized those in- dustres? Shall We not recognize the great service they have done to the cause of hu- manity Have not seen what happens to industry, to transportation, to all commercial activity which call business when profit fails? Have not seen the suffering and misery which it entails upon the people?
 Let us recognize the source of these fundamental principles and not hesitate to assert them Let us frown upon greed and selfishness but let condemn envy and uncharitableness. Let us have done with msunderstands, let strive to realize the dream of democracy by a prosperity of n- dustry that shall mean the prosperity of the people, by a strengthening of our material resources that shall mean q streng gthening of our character, by merchandising that has for its end manhood, and womanhood, the ideal of American citizenship.

A WORD ABOUT JURIES.

Too often people look upon jury service as a right or a privilege like that of voting for instance to which every person is entitled. That is not the ea,e at all Jury service is duty that is owed those have right to have their disputes or thef suilt or innocence of crime determined by jury. It is like duty render military or police service when the public safety requires it, to give aid in time Of flood or coniagraon, and many other extra ordinary services to the public. Like other public service duties it is that should be required of those are fitted to render the necessary service. The public good is not served, however, if people are put on the jury who not fitted for the service Ineompetents on jures add the public and that of tigants retard rather than further the of justice and is not recognition of any ones right privilege.
 Jury lists should be comprehensive. including those from all the walks of life and the different localities the territory be served In short they should be representative of the various communities But they should be selected just select people for other services-because they fitted to
 Tho taking of a voting list in full for jury list, particularly where people have been thoughtless absurd not to provide lieracy test for voters, is neither scientific prudn and it serves neither justice any other good cause, unless it be to chow up the redieulousnoss of refusal to enact an election literaey test law.
 It also is very proper to take into account other things in choosing juries If there enough people from whom choose those without calling those whose health whose services the jury would cause injury to some other public service important work cause undue hardship 1t is a recognized proper of discretionary authority to excuse people from service. The Empire favored the clause in the law permitting women to claim the right df exemption from jury service. It did so because it believes that there enough people in Alaska to give every tigant his right jury ice without requiring serve on juries against their will.

Making a Newspaper.
(Prince Rupert News. )


 A newspaper is not charitable institution. It is established for the double purpose of serving the community and providing a means of livelihood for the owners. When it ceases to do the latter, the former service also fails.
 The cost of printing newspaper and providing proper foregin and local service is very large. Just now the cost of publishing the Daily News is about thousand dollars month. To meet this cost the subscription price is hardly noticeable The income is derived from selling advertising to national advertisers, local merchants and those who promote entertainments public meetings, fairs. theatrical per formances and other gatherings of public or semi public nature.
 In every newspaper office there is constant diff ference of opinion between the management and those who want advertising published without cost in the columns Also there is a constant stream of matter that through the mail that is really advertising and that it is attempted to get in news. This finds is way into the paper basket.
 The management of the newspaper judges whether matter is advertising. News is published free of cost Advertising matter be paid for if published It is only by guarding carefully against free publication of advertising in the news columns that newspaper exist At the most the margin between profit and loss is very small

NRS. DILLARD CHATS ABOUT
 HER REGENT EUROPEAN TRIP

Mrs. J. E. billiard, who spent the summer abroad, talks interestingly of her experiences in the old coun- tries and gives a few of her inn pressions of the different peoples.
 Tre most instructive, the most thrilling, at the same time the most strenuous three months or my life.
 However, we were fortunate in keeping well. There is surely some thing wonderful in an atmosphere where one can walk all day, sleep all night, and digest all kinds of food. free life, an inspiring program, aINi the undivided attention of an ardent love is conclusive to good health and happiness of any woman.
 We had such a glorious time! would gladly work for three years for trip like we made. l shall al- ways be very grateful for the oppor- tunity of living in the land of art, an- cient and modern, sunshine, supersti- tion. sacredness and fraud. My inn pressions are varied. My thrills were many and my frights weH plenty. Canada, England and Wales are opponents of beautiful country, magnificent castles, thrifty and happy folk.
 France combines the qualities of work and play. Country people busy, while city people seem to be having one continued street holiday.
 Belgium, Holland and Germany, where the women and dogs do most of the work, celebrated for its splen- did cities, ugly smells, worthless money, and unhappy people, the un- rest of Germany makes me sad, the rudeness of Germany makes me mad.
 When I think of the beautiful country of Sweden, happy thoughts of blue-eyed, flaxen- haired, polite people, crowd my mind. The gentle men lowing like dancing masters, take by their high prices our last cronan.
 Austria and Switzerland display the most beautiful of natural pie lures. From the glacier, covered mountains to the poetical Swiss home and their picturesque people.
