Putting It to the Touch.
(New York Times.)

President Roosevelt has rightly received high
 praise for the extraordinary vigor and resolution with which he moved to take up the tremendous tasks which were thrust upon him at the very threshold of office Decisions which brooked no delay he made out of hand Into situations which
 were bad enough to parayze ordinary Executive he flung himself with direct courage. Had he not
 succeeded, the failure would have been disastrous to his prestige. But he boldly rsked all in order to win much The question now arises, however, whether he ought to press his good fortune too hard
 Whatever may be said of the farm bill, it does
 not rank in the public mind with the critical meas
 ures which had to be adopted respecting the banks Tor with the Economy Bill which the President drove Ito enactment with amazing speed. He can hardly expect the farm bill to like triumph for him. He himself forced in honesty to say to Congress that he is not thoroughly convinced that it will work. He comments it only as desperate remedy for desperate disease and evidently regards 1t as la form of that experimentation" which he spoke lof during the Presidential campaign as desirable. Recalling the sad fate of the Farm Board which President Hoover summoned Congress in extra ses- sion to create in 1929, MT Roosevelt might be ex- cused for going a little slower with his plan of
 farm relief But he gallantly identifies himself with its fate be it good or ill., thereby showing his
 chvalrous spirit Yet it is not at all certain that
 Congress or the people will regard this particular measure as wise Farm organizations are for it, but what will the great mass of consumers think
 of this form of sales tax resting heavily on food?
 President Roosevelt must be Of the political hazards he running through advocating this leg isation that, in sense, he is fully as darlng lin putting it to the touch as he was Tn openly Idefying the American Legion one day and the Anti Saloon League the next

1 "aVeH you gone completely mad?" she asked, facing about, to where between her and the balcony, the figure of Raisul loomed dark against the starlit sky
 [ Completely mad" replied Raj sul. Mad for love of you; love at first sight. I saw you at noon on a day in May, and I loved you at a minute past noon on that day, desperately, devotedly, madly, as you say. I loved you then, I have loved you every hour of the day and night since then. I love you now, and I shall love you every hour of the day and the night un- .til I die. And then in Paradise or i Heaven-or He'll shall still love lyou for the whole of that Eternal Day or Night tell you l Would you kindly tell me in- stead, where my husband is?" in terrupted Margaret icily. And I'll tell him something. I'll tell him to give you the finest horse whipping that ever a gentleman gave a cad"
 RaiSul laughed lightly.
 My dear, the poor Jules couldn't understand you, for he's far too drunk. And if he were sober he wouldn't understand you, for he's far too wise. He realizes, as you're going to do, that there's no law here except mine; there are no po- lice-except mine; no friends-ex- cept mine; no servants-ex xcep t mine; no ansport-except mine; no weapons-except mine; no food or water-except mine; no hope except in me.
 For the Kaid, my father, rules in Mekazzine as Allah rules in Para dise-and I rule the Kaid" And you call yourself a gentle man and you .. ."
 Raisul laughed again.
 Not a bit of it, my darling.

 | Thomas J. Kehoe, the genial pur- ser on the Admiral Sampson, was making his second voyage in AL aska waters.
 The Gold Belt Addition was be- coming a choice residential sec tion and B. D. Stewart had just purchased one of the most beau tiful lots in the district and plan ned to build a modern home on it at once.
 Thomas G. Mcdonald, well known athlete of Seattle, was aboard the Admiral Sampson enroute to the i Interior where he planned to en- gage in the mining game ] Denny Malloy returned to Ju- neau after an absence of several weeks in the States.
 A large crowd attended the Star temperance dance in Douglas.
 Harry w. Fisk, forestry agent at Katalla, and his wife, took passage for their home aboard the Ad- miral Sampson. Their visit here which they enjoyed, had been in- voluntary, as the ship on which they were making the trip from Cordova to Katalla two weeks pre- vious, had been unable to land, due to stormy weather.
 Captain Jensen was rapidly fall ing in love with his new ship, the Admiral Sampson which he brought to Juneau from Seattle in 67 hours.
 Simon Hellenthal had secured a lot in the Gold Belt Section and was figuring on building. An interesting bit of legal work was necessary before Joseph Mo- Donald could be put in charge of U. s.

Jos eph Warren, representing the State Department, had warrant signed by President Taft, which had to be returned to the State Department. A supplementary warrant had to be issued by Judge Thomas R. Lyons before Marshal Faulkner had any lawful means of taking Mo- Donald into court for trial.

 LIFE IN THE UNKNOWN

NEW YORK, Feb. 21, (P)- SWarms of bacteria instead of the long dreamed "Martians" an ''super-men" constitute the first evidence of life in space announc- ed by scientist.

 This discovery of the lowiest known forms of life is not alto gether an anti climax, for in one respect it tends to verify mans fond wish that life elsewhere may be like what he knows on earth.
 "These bacteria" says Professor Lipman, "are similar to forms common on our earth, and proba- bly, identical with some of our forms"
