"the school" book question
The Alaskan has received an un
signed communication in which stric
tures sre placed on the members of the
school board for their actions in refer
ence to the changing of books in th.
city schools. Tne question is one
which lies between the school board
and the teachers, who understand what
is best for the interests of those whom
they have in charge, and The Alaskan
ia willing to allow the mutter to be de.
termined by their Rood judgment. Of
course, it hope* that in every instance
possible matters may be so arranged as
to permit of the using of the books al
ready in the possession of the scholars,
aud that no one be placed to any unnec
essary expense that cju be avoided.
Where there are several children in
one fjmily who are attending school
and each one needs new books, It works
a hardship on the head of the family to
obtain them, and this should not tie lost
sight of bv the school board. It has
been suggested that in instances where
the pirents of a scholar who has been
attending school are unable to buj the
books, the school board see that the
books are provided free. This is a'!
very well, but there is no girl or boy
who would care to have it known, and
It seems that such things are always
known, that they are using free books.
The Alaskan suggests that the question
be settled a', once, and that the school
board, some of the teachcrs, and those
who hive children and are interested
in education get together and arrjnge
a plan that will be satisfactory to every
one concerned. It can be doce ? ith the
exercise of some patience and tact, and
there i- no need of indulging in talk
which creates dissension in the school
work. The school board sbou'u imme
diately call such a meeting as would
bring out all those interested and have
the matter settled satisfactorily, onct
and forever.

MOOD'S CONDUCT
for some time past, in fact ever since
he left Idaho, W. D. Haywood has been
going about the country addressing
audience- of more or less radically in
clined socialists. In all of his speeches
be has bitterly denounced the admin
istration and asserts the intention of
the Idaho ofticia'.s had been to "railroad
him to the gallows."' It is not yet two
month- since Hay woo J, in hi- cell at
Boise, pleaded with leading socialists
to keep Debs quiet and not permit him
to make speeches throughout ths count
ry. as he, Haywood, claimed, it would
butt his case. That being his opinion
at that time he certainly must have
changed his line of argument or else he
has little consideration for his accused
friends, Mojer and i'ettibone. They
have not yet been tried and. if Debs'
wild talk hurt Haywood's chances be
fore trtal, why will not Haywood's
bitter denunciation of Idaho and the
President hurt the case of Nloyer and
Pettiboue when their trial cjhim on to
be heard V The Portland Telegram
along these lines says:
"We do not believe Haywood or his
friends will gain anything by intemp
erate speech and denunciation of the
President. There are tbou-inds upon
thousands of workingmen who do not
believe Id the methods of the Western
federation of Miners a> exemplified by
the Haywcod management. There are
thousands of others who, while they do
not approve of what the mine owners
have done, are just as little pleased
with what the federation has done.
They canr.ot be brought to believe that
two wrongs make a right. Haywood
was acquitted, and all things consider
ed, it was the best possible outcome of
that protracted legal struggle. But
while Haywood was not found guilty,
the result of the trial did not leave
a pleasant taste in the public mouth,
and the public is under no delusions
with reference to Haywood and his
lieutenants.
"This being true, the more conspic
uous Haywood makes himself the more
certain be is to create a revulsion of
public feeling toward him and his

of AUcarne, In Chile, Prof David Todd
of Amherst college, and his wife,
Mabel Loomii To-lit, are now studying
the canals on the planet Mars with a
powerful 18-lnch telescope, endeavor
ing to find out if the planet is inhabited.
A letter has just been received here
from Mrs. Todd giving some account ot
their location and undertaking. The
desert of Atacama was chosen a- the
first station of the expedition on ac
count of the dryness of the air. The
region lies on a plateau 8,000 feet above
the Pacific. The snow-clad Andes tow

I'rof, Todd's temjiorary observatory
is a day's journey to Iquiqui. He is
now making arrangements to take a
series of photographs of Mars with
telescopic lens. The pictures are then
to be greatly magnified.
The scientific world his been eagerly
conjecturing for year* Thether that
far-off globe is inhabited, and it is
hoped that the investigations of the
Amherst astronomer* may throw some
definite light on the interesting ques
tion. Mars is now nearer the <arlh
than at any time in the last 15 years
estimated at 35.050, 000 miles.

"IMAGINE IRISH POLICE IN ROME" IS
CAUSE OF LATEST MOVE AGAINST
PLACK HAND
New York, Aug. 29? New York, next
to Home in size a? an Italian city, has
an Italian vote which has come to be
regarded by native politicians as a force
which must be reckoned with in every
political campaign.
IVdrones lead this vote. Reputable
Italian- American citizens also have
gone into the game, and the citv has an
Italian coroner, in Italian born judge,
an Italian born assistant distri ;t attor
ney and other public officers of that
race.
Now. the police commissioner seems
to have recognized the force of the
statement made by F. Marion Craw
ford. the novelist, when he was discuss
ing the situation of the Italian in New
York:
"Imagine a squad of Irish policemen
maintaining order in Rome."
General Bingham is planning to put
a numtxr of uniformed Italian police
rneu oa the force chosen and equipped
as they are in Italy, to cope with the
Black Hand and perpetrators of crimes
characteristically Italian. They will
be assigned especially to the Italian
quarter* in the boroughs.
