EDITORIAL PAGE
Charles Ingersoll, the how-not-to
do-it member of the new Alaska legis
lature from Ketchikan, came in for
a li tie reprimand at the bauds of
I elegate Wickersham at a jolut
meeting of the legislature the other
day Charles is a lawyer aud quotes
nicely from the classics. Though !
he has been out of college for many
years he can still squeeze in enough
l.aiin phrases and Emerson obscuri
ties to utterly befuddle his hearers
It might be said of him as was for
merly said of some of the Latin
poets :
"They o'ten wrote things that no
one understood, and not iufrequent
1 things they did not understand
themselves.'*
Charles opened the lower house of
the legislature with some of hl>
musical utrerances. The most M
niisite tiukiiug cymbals aud melli
:lu us brass, lu word a as delicate
?s honey-dew he told how It could
? ot-be-done, and In the telling he
had the applause of every lily fing
ered exploiter of labor and prosper
ity strangler in Alaska.
Now Del .-gate Wickersham is also
a lawyer, and It !s said that he can
v.hisper a few sugared uothiugs
h.mself when the lights are turned
way dowu iow. But in public af
tairs the difference in them i9 that
Wickersham is a potential force in
argumeut and oratory. He is a con
structive talker when requirement
occasions It.
Every member of the Alaska leg
islature has promised to do certain
things. They have promised to pass
. n Australian ballot system, they
!i \e promised to abolish fish traps.
their platforms swell with pregnaut
promises of reform, but those prom
ises are long Id the filling. Wick
irsham, with the voters of Alaska,
want those promises fulfilled, they
tlo not waht lawyers, or anyoue
else, to spend legislative time In
finding oiit how-not-to-do-it.
Speaking on the subject we quote
the following from the Dally
Dispatch:
The Dispatch extends its congrat
ulations to the gentleman from Sit
ka. On the bills introduced, Mr.
?houp has Introduced four out of
seven. Most of them are iu com
pliance with the platform on which
tbs First District legislators were
elocted, and they are all good bills.
The Dispatch most respectfully
cal's attention of the other sena
tors to Uxj fact that this is now
tlo middle of the session, and none
o* them have introduced a bill.
There are still a few platform pledg
?* which have been overlooked.
Ther? is, for Instance, the goneral
eight hour bill, and then again
tuare is, for anothe: instance the
memorial lor the abolition of the
fish trap. Of course all of the leg
l! lators mean to accomplish the en
actment of all the measures promls
e' on the platform on which they
were elected, and probably they do
not realize that it is quite important
to get in early with any bills which
are to be p ssed. It often takes a
great while to get a bill through the
committee, and along about the mid
dle of a session of legislature, a
calendar gets very crowded. Let
as not forget that it was so th?
people get enacted into law the
things which they desired that they
agitated so long for "Home Rule."

Greater regard for her health is gradually
CHANGING WOMAN'S FASHIONS.
When woman ceases to follow the prevailing fashion
and adopts a fashion suited to her peculiar figure then we
shall have reached an IDEAL STATE.

WomaL has entered upon such an evolution now because ahe ir
BEGINNING TO SEEK PERFECT HEALTH and the splendid
type of beauty that only perfect health can give.
Women in giving greater consideration to matters of health are
USING TOWARD A ZENITH OF TIIK MOST PERFECT
RACE OF WOMEN THE WORLD HAS KNOWN.
I am sure the early Greek women put health before fashion.
When our American women follow this example, which they are be
ginning to do, we shall have a superior race.
tt * *
Women have followed fashion almost religiously. If the prevail
ing style calls for small waist and slender figure both fat and slim
women trv to meet it, REGARDLESS OF THE INJURY TO
THEIR HEALTH AND GENERAL APPEARANCE.
I arn not so su-e but that there were just as many frail women
among the ancient Greeks as we have today.
Women who wish to improve their health should quit health fads.
