On the fourth of next month the
legislature of Alaska will meet. lTn
fortunately one of the members -of
th? new house has resigned, and
other* have expressed Intentions of
resigning t?s soon as they can land
?omething else that pay* more If
there are any more pat riots- for-cash
who have in contemplation the use
of the honorable place given them
by the people, for the purpose of
boosting themselves Into better jobs.
?e hope they will get their Jobs
? nd resign before the legislature is
assembled in law making power.
When the men who were elected
to this legislature went before the
people last fall and asked for sup
port. they entered Into a solemn
and binding moral contract to as
sume duties and make sacrifices for
the general good The people of Al
aska trusted them and if they are
honorable men in the fine sense of
the term, they will not betray the
trust by using the suffrage of Al
askans as a stepping stone to creep
Into a more paying job.
While admitting that everyone ha
a right to better his condition. If he
can do It without the sacrifice of
honesty and honor, we as firmly
Balntam that a political contract
entered into is as morally binding
as a civil contract, and the man
who would break the former, can
not be trusted to keep the latter
When the gentleman from the
north sent In his resignation to the
governor. he was actuated by busi
ness reasons no doubt, but the
fact remains that he has deceived
his constituents and has shown that
a few dollars with him is paramount
to patriotism or the good of the
general public. His business is
probably no more pressing r.om- than
hitherto, and had he wished to
personally conduct it at si: times,
he had no right to go before the
people an J ask their politi?al sup
port
It will be better for Alaska if all
the cash patriots resign b? fore the
meeting of the legislature, because
cash will l.ave its Influent e upon
them when they are able to really
Injure the country The man who
contemplates resigning at he first
paying opportunity should resign
now and maintain his self respect
to some extent.
The person who swaps off patriot
ism for cash is not actuated by the
high Ideals which his political
platform preached, nor the high
Meals which we insist on iustilling
Into the minds and consciousness of
our children
The United States Senate is to be
congratulated upon its passage by
DMrlr a unanimous vote of the bill
ottered by Senator Nelson of Min
nesota stripping all trials of anti
trust cases of the star chamber
features that judges have hitherto
thrown about them
The bill provides that la taking
the depositions of witnesses in any
?utt in equity under the anti-trust
law and in hearings before any ex
aminer or special master, "the pro
ceedings shall be open to the public
as freely as are trials in open
court; and no order heretofore or
hereafter made by any court ex
cluding the public from attendance
oa any such proceeding shall be
ralld or enforceable "

Boston. Feb t ? "The feeling
between Canada and England to
day is much similar to what the
feeling was between Kngland and
the Thirteen Colonies in 1775, and
It will ultimately end in absolute
freedom for Canada," said Henri
Bourassa. the leader of the Nation
alists
"The greatest question of the
day In Canada Is that of contribu- 1
tlon to Great Britain. Canada is a
transcontinental country and as
long as we are not represented in
affairs of the Empire, we should be
under no obligations to the Empire.
It is the same thing over again of
your original Thirteen Colonies- .
taxation without representation. An-j
tl-Imperialists and indeed many oth-j
?T political classes, have turned
against Borden because of the dis
satisfaction he has created by advo
cating a $35,000,000 appropriation
for English warship#
"Opposition argument* that we
receive protection from England and
should therefore contribute to it, 1
is but the merest incident. With no ?
representation abroad, wo should
no more contribute than did the ,
thirteen original colonies. Canada 1
needs no navy. Canada does not <
need co;u?t protection, especially the |
mouth of the St. Lawreac*. <
"We dont desire to secede from
Great Britain, but we would much
rather undergo natural development (
of independence under the NationaJ- ,
ist idea than to have constant frlc- ^
tion, disagreements and distrust un- ,
der 'mperiallsm. Independence is (
the moral outcome of any colony. (
As far as the United States is con- ,
oeraed we believe that we can get (
along without your help. We need
no favors from you," the speaker
added.
M.\ Bourassa said the sentiment
in favor of reciprocity is principally
in Western Canada, which he
thought was due to the poor trans
portation facilities which created a
long wait between harvesting and
the retailing of money for the same
"These facilities Improved," he
said, "and you will no longer hear
from Western Canada the cry for
reciprocity."

Reparteo of tho U*l Car.
Everybody who rides on the Brook
lyn avenue owl car knows Old St, the
conductor, and Old 81 knows every
body on the line and never fails to put
his passengers off at the right corner.
He is blunt In speech, but witty.
Ij?st Sunday nlgbt several couples of
young people living out near Thlrty
Orst street hoarded the car and began
laughing and talking In loud tones, try
ing to "kid" every one on the car.
Finally one of the youths spied Old SI,
whose shirt front was somewhat worse
for a hard day's wear.
"Say, Mr. Conductor." be shouted,
"why didn't you put on a clean shirt
tonight for Sunday V And his com
panions guffawed
SI never hesitated a secona. but came
back with this:
"Because you were net at home and
your mother had no one to send my
washing by " The crowd bellowed,
and the young folks got off at Troost
avenue and transferred ?Kansas City
