The Rooublican par»y la formln®
I's ukttform at the Seward conven

prepare <Iu€es tsiie6 now coming be
fore the nation. The eolith
l>lauk "W« believe thai a nicest
thorough and complete preparation
f»r war is the nations greatest
guarantee of peace. We, there
fore, favor a complete sysu m of
coa^t deftnse, and an adequate
arriv and navy for any purpcse, itp
buil'. however, along such lines as
will u>>t endanger a si'irit of rnili
u.risju."
No cue will doubt the logic of
the ftamers of this plank that a
p.eyared nation is demand lug of
rosptci on laud and sea and that
preparecutsg for protection on both
laud and sea is one of the bent
guarantees for permanent peace.
Thio projection should eiteitd to

states government extends.

Legal work the country orer is
noted for being clogged. There is
hardly a judge on the benah but
what has oases piled up and with
a crowded docket. The more on
"he* part of the formers of this
association to secure the ap
iMiuuneut of another Judge for
this district shows 'that t-ue profess
ion is trying to render a service to
the ueople.
If 'he conditlona are true as re
presented by its advocates that at
torneys disbarred in o'her parts ef
tup country are being admitted to
practice in the courts of Alaska..
Th<> sooner the orgaoizatlon founds
itself and begins the weeding pro
tein the better it will be for the
profession and laymen at large. An
attorney is an officer of tbe court,
and should be held to an extreme
standard of conduct, morally, physi
cally and intellectualy. The coun
try is young and now is the time
to so form and shape conditions
for 'he profession that it will not
iiecouuo overcrowded and lowered in
:ts standards. The true staixtord
should be justice at all coets.
KIKE PROTECTION
The appointment of a fire war

districts and the aictira campaign
•\hiih la now being caitrltd on by
the lire warden for the protection
of t-rc.pt rty by preventative meas
ures rather than curing- methods
alaows that the Forestry and Land
;".ej ailments are looking out for
the welfare of this district.
The vrajrning has been sounded to
ill persons that extreme caie
should be used. Never should a
fire be l«ft burning, srodkera should
watch with precision the cast off
buttj. of cigars and cigarettes tint
•la flames will start thereby.
Fires are easily prevented If Mi<
,)CH>ple will only ailhcre to th
ul -s and regulations formulated by
t >e Fores-try departments. Many
t'ldusauds of dollairs of valuable
timber lauds are destroyed each
y»ir because the puiblic will not
v-lve beedance to the rules which
bear common knowledge.
A heavy penalty, which in cer
tain instances carries Imprisonment
with it has been made a law. Per
"'<ns negligently disobeying the
Forestry laws are just as guilty of
a breach of law as other minor
crimrs and should be forced to
*uff(T the penalty.
We notice that Sciuitor Wads
.vor'h found that he was toe busy
with his poditlcsil seat in Wasihin,;
ti a to answer the call of his coun
try and resigned his National Guard
l uniimission In New York. John A.
Logan when he went to t>*e front
resigned his seat In congress to
answer the call of his country. The
■Sfffiitor must regard that he is
niore important as a lawmaker than
as a fighter for his country.
The melting sncw and ice !n the

could not huve written the whole work
