recently the report of Prof. R. Leske of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, who finds that bacteria can live for of time in coal, result that substantates previous reports of Dr. Lipman.
 Close on the heels of the German substantiaton comes another report from the University of Cali forna that Dr. Lipman has extended his studies to materials other than coal and rocks He finds
 living bacteria in soil that has been sealed in bottles for from 25 to 33 years in the department of plant physiology. And he likewise finds living organisms in earth sealed for 65 years With the bacteria were living plants known algae.
 Working ever backward from the present, further work in Dr. Lipman's laboratory gave evidence that tha organisms in soil (never wet that was taken from the floors of old Spanish missions 50 years old.

Unemployment Insurance.
(NeW York Times.)

President Roosevelt has endorsed the Wagner Lewis bill for unemployment insurance and includ- led it among the measures which the Administration
 hopes will be adopted at the present session The bill would impose Federal excise tax of per cent the payros of all establishments employing ten or more persons with the exception of certain
 specified groups of employers including governmental
 agencies This tax would become effective in the fiscal year beginning July l. 1885, and the first icollections would be made in 1886. Each employer would be permitted to offset against the tax such sums he contributed to employment insurance under State laws To the States themselves would be left form of insurance to be established and the administration of the plan. They could pre- scribe Statewide funds, industrial pooled funds, Tor individual They could determine whether lcontributions should be made by employers, by employees by both and whether the State itself should bear a share of the burden.
 The bill has been endorsed by MT. Roosevelt
 because he believes that unemployment insurance has become "an essential part of program to build a ample and secure life"; because the Democratic platform of 1892 pledged that party to the adoption of such system under State con- trol and because while insurnce plan could be lexpected to cope successfully with a major de-
 pression it would "act a stabilizing device in our economic structure / retarding the rapid downward spiral curve and the onset of severe crises" To these arguments Senator Wagner adds two others; that the proper time to plan such la system is when the experience of widespread Unemployment is fresh in the publc's mind and
 that the of the Federal taxing power is neces- isary order to meet point usually made against independent action by the States themselves Ily that the expenses incidental to State law would handicap local employers in interstate com
 merce
 Thus far five chief arguments have been made against the bill: CD that it is of doubtful con- lsttutonaty; CD that the proposed tax is too high; (3) that, while collection of it would not begin until 1886, this does not allow sufficient time for industry to recuperate after the severe depression through which it has passed; (D that the Federal Government would obiga-
 tions in return for the additional income it would receive, and (5) that the plan would penalize rather than reward individual employers who volun- tarily put into effect unemployment insurance plan in any State in which law did not exist, since they would be compelled to pay the Federal

 They had also invited Clia, and in the verbal witticisms of her friend, and the quiet understanding of the two wives, Judith found real solace.

The Rev. John B. Stevens, pas tor of the Presbyterian Church, of Juneau, was chosen as ministerial commissioner from the Presbytery of Alaska to the General Assembly of the church, to meet in Chicago in May, at the annual convention of the Presbytery in session in Juneau.
 Everyone was planning to attend the Altar Society dance to be held in the Elks Hall on Easter Mon day, April 13, according to all in dications. Special ferries were be- ing run to Douglas Island and Sheep Creek at 1:30 the following morning to accommodate dancers from those places.
 Perry E. Jackson was chosen manager for the Juneau baseball team for the 1914 season at a meeting held the prevoius evening. One of his first announcements was that there would be no piracy on the part of either Juneau or Douglas He had a conference with Manager Ferris of the Treadwell team and they agreed that each would refrain from trying to get players away from each other.
 Excavating was to begin for the new Messerschmidt building on Second Street within the week The building was to be one of the first absolutely fire-proof build ings in Alaska Architect c. w. Winstedt had been commissioned to proceed with the working plans and start the building at once. It was to be constructed of reinforced concrete throughout with metal windows and door frames and out side doors of metal.
 Weather for the previous 24 hours was clear with a maximum tenn perature of 67 degrees and a min imum of 34

THE TREND OF THE SUPREME COURT.

These are days in which the direction of mind of the Supreme Court is a matter which concerns all of There any number of things naug- urated by the Roosevelt Administration which are likely to be called before the court. The whole temper of present legislation has swung to the long line of dissenting opinions for which Justices Holmes and Brandeis stood steadfastly.
 But the majority of the Supreme Court Justices have been alignng themselves with the current of thought for which thse two members noted. The most recent illustration is the majority view of the court in the decision in the New York State milk control law.
 Chief Justices Hughes who as practicng at torney represented of the largest aggregatons of corporate wealth. and who therefore received the appointment from President Hoover the protest of those who called themselves liberals, has led the in what might be called the liberal point of view Likewise Justice Harlan F. Stone, ap- pointed by President Coolidge and hailed as a con servative, has been viewing things eye-to-eye with MT. Chief Justice Hughes and Justices Cardoza and Roberts Curiously enough it is Justice McReynods who Attorney General fought MT. Hughes in the trust when he represented great corporations who things from the more conservative view piont.
 Tn all this there is the hopeful symptom that all elements of the American people look to the safety and confidence If there is any legal mind in the land which may be expected to the historic constitutional rights of capital it is Chief Justice Hugi.ess, and those who viewed his ap- pointlnent with suspicion the very who earlier acclaimed the attitude of Justice McReynods
 There have been times in American history in which pubic estimate in the Supreme Court was mostly partisan as in the Dred-Scott case, but surely this is not the case today.

DEATHLESS BACTERIA.

At intervals in the last few years, Dr. Charles B.

LOOPHOLES

INTERNAL Revenue Bureau officials, under
the Mellon regime, took for granted the in
come tax returns prepared by the House of
Morgan, ION the assumption" says the sem
ate banking committee, "that preparation by
that firm ipso facto established the correct
ness"
Apparently the revenue officials saw Moth
ing strange in the fact that seventeen of the
Morgan partners paid no income tax in 1880
and that no Morgan partner paid income
taxes in 1881 and 1892 No one has contended
successfully that any of the Morgan partners
violated the law But the average citizen can
not help but believe that the revenue officials
at least should have inspected returns closely,
and should thereupon have informed congress
of the loopholes in the law through which the
tax payments were avoided.
In summing up its findings, the senate
committee also points out again that other re-
turns, particularly those of partners of large
banking houses, were exempted from adequate
scrutiny
This is somewhat reminiscent of the Har-
rison bank case That defunct institution kept
its doors open several months after federal
banking authorities knew it to be insolvent.
And federal law enforcement officers took no
action against the banking authorities who
failed to perform their sworn duty to close
the bank.
Like the banking authorities, the revenue
officials were paid salaries by the taxpayers
to do the very things they failed to do. And,
SO far as the public knows. their negligence
has remained unpunished-an invitation to
future laxness.
Before the senate committee closes its in
quiry, it should scrutinize again the Revenue
Bureaus collection methods.
