MIR. STIMSON AND THE TARIFF BILL

While not appearing before the Senate Con- mittee witness, MT. Henry L. Stimson has gone on record approving heartily the tariff bill now facing severe test in the Senate. Taking position quite contrary to that of his party in Congress the former Secretary of State welcomes the tariff giving wide powers to the Executive to make binding reciprocal tariff pacts for period of years
 This is a significant endorsement MT. Stimson has familiarity with foreign economic problems based active direction of them for four years. He knows the issues involved He is Republican and is not moulding his views to support a party. Indeed he is admirably candid in supporting the delegation of unprecedented powers to Democratic President His opinion is doubly valuable because of his utilization with the G. O. P.
 The Stimson address, broadcast recently over a nationwide hookup ought to have it's most important effects among the Republican members of the Senate If is indicated in recent Washington press reports in the face of MT. Stimsons endorse ment of the bill, they continue to wage violent warfare on it, they will inevitably create the presumption in the public mind that they are concerned with party strategy than with the economic well-beng of their country. Senator Reed, who apparently has succeeded to Senator Reed Shoots mantle spokesman for the high protec- tionsts, might well pause and consider his tactics before pressing them further.
 With his demonstrated capacity to survey prob lems realistically and to rise above party partisan value of elder statesman of the party out of power He in strong partisan when he in office, though his loyalty to the G. o. P. never questioned in the slightest degree. Now that he is private citizen MT Stimson has an greater detachment and impartiality. These qualities are of the utmost value in establishing new governmental policies

arrived. and no doubt before, Du. l fresne had been drinking. and drink ing with a sombeT intentness that
 revealed sullen purpose. Perhaps. thought Harper, that
 was the explanation of Andrews dour looks as he had lowered over the dinner table. First it had been highballs. and now brandy. Harper had grave doubts as to the wisdom of this mixture. but thus far the only apparent effect these potions had produced was a certain top heavy dignity of speech and move ment. a heightened glitter of those cynical eyes.
 The detective-officer suddenly be- came aware of his hosts counter. scrutiny. The latter's position. with his back to the fire, gave him a de- cided advantage in any exchange of glances. Harper could see little of his features save the glint of his rimless glasses.
 You'll do, Harper, you'll do. very well indeed" Dufresne pronounced gravely. You've got the proper men, tality for handling case of this
 kind. You showed that to me by your very first move-searching this place before assigning your
 men to their posts"
 That was nothing but the sim
 plest routine procedure" Harper deprecated.
 Dufresne twirled the goblet gently in his fingers, looking thoughtfully into it's contents. "Tll wager both Markison and Barry would have ac- cepted my mans word for it that no one could have got in here and hid. The fact that there was no one here
 makes the point no less important" Harper nodded. Perhaps he should
 have felt more flattered by the good
 opinion of this man of power, but
 he could not shake off that uncom-
 fortable feeling that pricked the
 back of his mind. There was some
 thing about this assignment that
 was incongruous. feeling that des-
 tined events had already decided to
 take the course of perversity. Some
 how. the power of the police mar
 shaled against this anonymous
 threat seemed futile, hollow pa-
 rade of force. Yet it could not be
 reckoned so by any practical stand
 ard.

ANOTHER PROHIBITION" VICTIM.

Nothing so demonstrates the force of habit as two recent actions taken by the Ketchikan City Council, of which has already added another to the long list of Prohibition victims. The law givers of the First City by ordinance have decreed that no person within the corporate limits sell liquors having alcoholic content greater than IT per cent True they failed to provide for any penalty for violations which made it all the more puerile The second instance is found in Council manic resolution which declared that no employee of the city could engage in the manufacture sale of alcoholic liquors.
 The first of these two products of the Prohibition complex harms one. As was to have been ex- peced those individuals and firms who hold regular retail liquor licenses doing business without interruption They have the authority of the Terri tory to do so, and there is no reason why they should fear prosecution from the municipal author ities. That persisted in, would inevitably lead to expensive damage suits.
 The second ukase of the Council had more fortunate results Lawrence H. Kubley, for almost a decade and a half, had been Chief of the Voun- teer Fire Department. He was recently reelected by the members of that organization for another year. He has devoted a great deal of time, study hard work and sacrificed his personal interests at times to build up the department which has made enviable record for efficiency. But because he holds retail liquor license and conducts retail liquor store in addition to his other businesses the City Council has dismissed him Fire Chief That, too, just week after the Council had formally approved his reelection by the De- partment.
 Such proceedings ridiculous they are unjust to MT. Kubley. He is not criminal because he a retail liquor store. No charge of m- morality lie against him that score. He is only the victim of intolerance the same intoler- that fosted Prohibition on the United States and kept it there for so many years.

MAY II, 1914

 Lieut.. Mears and Thomas Riggs, Jr., of the Alaska Railroad Com mission were on their way to Se- attle where they were to open an office before they came to Alaska. MT. Riggs was well known through out the Territory through his work on the boundary survey, and also through his half brother, Francis Rotch, who spent much time in the Territory.
 One hundred thousand dollars was paid out on monthly pay day at the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company, the preceding day, to the employees of the three divisions. There were between 800 and 900 mn employed and the payroll for May was to show a considerable increase.
 MT. and Mrs. Samuel Guyot had taken temporary apartments at the Hotel Cain until they were to move into their own home on East Street.
 An enjoyable outing cruise had been enjoyed by party of Juneau people on the launch Grubstake the previous Sunday. The trip was made to Admiralty Island and return. Those enjoying the cruise were, MT. and Mrs. Charles B. Joy, Judge and Mrs. J. B. Mar shall, MT. and Mrs. George B. Mccarthy, MT. and Mrs. Walstein G. Smith, Mir and Mrs. F. c. Met calf, Mrs. J. H. Cobb, Miss Edith Kempthorne, Miss Lavina Wilson, Miss Gladys Tripp, Miss Gertrude Mallette, w. J. Lewis and F. N. Galloway.

 Grover c. Vim, Oren F. Hill. Thomas E. Williams and Roy c. Wilson returned the previous eve ming fro ma cruise to Pybus Bay. Admiralty Island, where they had inspected a large deposit of low grade ore. They had also put in part of the time stalking brown bear but brought no trophies home.

 The dinner itself had been excel. lent each succeeding course testi- flying anew to the soundness of the hosts choice. All during the meal Dufresne had deftly ignored the ob. ject of Harper's visit. Time and again the detective had brought up the question of the attempted shoot.

ing that afternoon and the matter Of the anonymous letters Dufresne had received, only to have the talk adroitly steered into other channels.
 Harper chose comfortable chair near the fireplace and Dufresne seated himself opposite. In few mo ments Andrews appeared with the coffee and brandy He served them silently, his footsteps inaudible on the deep rug. When everything was arranged. he produced a bulky en- velope and handed it to his master Here are the papers, sir" s
 Dufresne slit the envelope and drew out some folded sheets, clipped in binder of blue paper. Will you pardon me while look these over? It is business matter that must be taken care of at once, as the papers must be filed by midnight. Help yourself to the cigarettes"
 The room in which they sat was spacious. high-ceilinged. and even in the subdued lighting it was ap- parent that unerring good taste had tempered the richness of it's furnish ings. Outside. the snow whipped in furries against the panes and the wind swished past with a mournful sound suggestive of open, desolate places. There was nothing to indi- cate that they were twenty-eight stories above the street level of a teeming city.
 WHEN Dufresne had finished his W perusal of the new contract, An. drews stood ready with a pen. Du. fresne signed the document and re. turned it to the butler. Give this to MT. Harris and say that I'm much obliged to him."
 "Is Andrews the only one of your staff here at the hotel, MT. Du- fresne?" Harper asked.
 My chauffeur is quartered here, too" was the reply The others are at my home. The house is not open just now. Mrs. Dufresne has been using the opportunity to have some of the rooms done over. At present she is visiting some relatives"
 ''I suppose she was very much up set when she heard about your mis hap"
 Naturally" Dufresne answered shortly. and in what struck the de tective as peculiar tone. His host rose and went to table near the hearth. A flood of soft light poured

 Sergeant Harper nodded at this rather singular introduction. Rarely had he seen such appealing loveli- ness as was pictured here. The clear features beautifully modelled, soft wistfulness about the eyes, curving lips haunted by the ghost of smile, these remained vividly in his mem- ory.
 Pierre Dufresne stood with his back to the fireplace. The slender master of this lofty sky-house. alert, dark, immaculate in his well-cut din- ner jacket, looked more than ever the true artist. the connoisseur of wealth and power, as he stood squarely upon his hearth, cigarette in one hand, balloon glass grace fully balanced in the other.
