AN EXAMPLE OF NULLIFICATI0N.

A rather insignificant incident recently has caused lot of comment on the theory and prae- tice of notification. A woman suspected of being in the know of criminal gang in an Illinois town was arrested She wearing trousers and sweater and was said to be good looking vigorous examination by officers failed to dis close the information that it was believed she possessed HHe alsens were aonr need however that if a4e were Led n ai for short time that she world cough I'D However. sae wa representea Il atom who was demanding that charges be fed against her or that she be discharged She was forthwith charged and con victed under a law that made it crime for a woman to wear mems clothing.
 Investigators of such things, melted by the incident. have discovered nearly all States in the Union have laws making it criminal of fense for women to wear mems clothing, yet the statutes are being disregarded in every one of them. It is said that there are very few women who do not wear trousers occasionally, and many in every State who them most of the time. The laws are being generally nullihed Who will not say that the notification is fully justified?
 The fact is that there is not State in the Union that is not systematically and willfully nulfying many laws. Notification is so gener- ally practiced that it is almost, if not quite the usual way of doing away with an unpopular law. It is nuliied first. Sometimes it is repealed but often it is simply nullined and dies of 5 atrophy
 Of course anyone must admit that the better way to dispose of any unpopular law is to repeal it. but the fact remains that the usual way is to nullify it.

Good News for Anchorage.
Anchorage Tin3es.)

The announcement yesterday that the Evans Jones Ceal Company had been awarded tract by the railroad for the delivery of 10000 tons of coal was exceedingly good news for An ehorage for it means that the payroll of the crew of fifty or sevnty- five employed at the mine will find it's way into the trade channels of
 1is city besides the outlay for supplies for op-
 safi0u Of the mine which will be mainly ex- aanded here.
 The extent of the contract with the railroad AYil assure continuous operation of the mine obyiatng the necessity heretofore existing of shutting down the mine because of lack of market for the product, and will make certain the development of permanent producing in dustry
 The announcement that the coal company will start a campaign to place it's product in other Alaska coast cities adds to the rosy hue of the local situation. as the consummation of that plan will give the railroad an increased freight mage from the mine to the water lines and assist in placing freight traffic of the Government line stable basis
 The high quality of the Evans Jones pro- duct and the Healy River product is well known along the railroad belt and when other Alaska cities become familiar with it's equality with outside coal now being shipped north, the Alaska product should be gwen the preference.
 Alaska coal from the Matanuska and Healy River field should supply every demand along the Alaska coast from Ketchikan Nome, not only for the residents of those cities and towns but for every cannery operating in the Territory. The hope can be made realty With the proper effort of cooperation. It would mean a greatly increased tonnage for the Alaska Railroad, south bound cargoes for the steamship lines from either Seward or Anchorage and the establishment of a steamer service Cook Inlet to supply canneries with coal to Inlet points and to the Westward. the latter of which would bring to Anchorage business firms a trade too great to attempt to estimate.
 Why not real cooperative action in Anchorage to try and make realities of these I'd ai1 bones and await for something to happen? Let's go out and get business that Is easily available and will mean much to the railroad belt and par lticuarly to Anchorage.

SOME MORE AMERICANA.

An Associated Press dispatch says the Wom- ems Foreign Missionary Society of Methodist Church at Seattle has started a movement to pre- vent the return to the United States of the former Maharajah of indore and his recently acquired American wife. It is declared that 1he reason behind the movement is the report that the couple propose to disseminate the Hindu religion in this country.
 Let us suppose for moment that India or any other "heathen" country would prevent the landing on it's shores of Methodist missionary and his wife and imagine the reaction on those church people who have declared this Hindu family, It is not difficult to vision them appealing to the State Department at Washing ton to use coercve powers to compel the admis- sion of the American missionary.
 Hindu has just much right to come to the United States for the purpose of furthering the acceptance of his religion as an American has to go to India, China any other place in
