EDITORIAL PAGE
Today Che Dally Alaskan Is pub
lishing the latest news regarding
the new Stiver crcek gold dlscovcry.
The first luan to return from the
cainp is 'a Skagway and has told the
story. That story Is practically the
s ime as has heretofore been estimat
ed by Mii* newspaper. There Is ev
er- prouii -? of a splendid gold out
put ? but up to this time It has not
been proven. Gold Is there. Uold
caa be found on every creek. But
todrocU bus not been reached for
the simple reason that the strike
v.- as made late In the fall since
which time there has been no oppor
tunity to sink to bedrock. It is the
iu< st promising strike that chaucc
has ever held out to anyone, and
mining is but a chance at the beet
of tt. For tba treason It is one of
the moot fascinating of occupations
The man who takes a pick and
gold pan aud goes Into tho wild
places, is buoyed up with expect- .
?ncy of finding something Just be
youd his present surroundings. Likej
the hunter of game, bis facultleis
are alive In the pursuit of something
Accomplishment may always remain
lu the b ckonlng shadows Just out
or his reach, but the impulse to
auraue carries with It an exciting
satisfaction, a physical aud mental
l_- supreme Joy in Itself.
Sportsmen are beginning to learn
that It Is the hunt, not the mur
der of at: animal, that affords the
keenest pl< sure, aud now they are
hunting with cameras, aud vying
with each other In securing the
best photographic trophies, instead
of pelts and skulls and horns of a
slain beast. Perhaps the greatest
sportsmen in the world are the
prospectors who hunt with gold-pan
and pick. They get all the pleas
ures that the game hunter does, wit
oo'. contributing to the slaughter
of God's creatures, except In case of
food necessities.
Here Is a land that bolds out ev
ery promise for the prospector. It
Is the most accessible sold district
that has ever been uncovered In the
north. It le sure to be thoroughly
prospected, and when It Is, there
will be riches In abundance for thos
wlii make the discoveries and for
those who take advantage of the
many opportunities resulting from
the strikes. The sentiment of
chance Is strong within mankind an
Silver Cre?;k affords a promising
field for it to take Its full measure
Owing sometimes to tho inability
of district judges to always meet
their appointments at the various
terms of court, and in the cvont of
their failure to do so, a long delay
Is occasioned, Senator Sutherland
has Introduced an act to amend the
code by permitting tho clerk to ad
journ the session from day to day,
until the arrival of the Judge. Tho
amendments reed as follows :
If no judge attend on the day ap
pointed for holding court beforo
four o'clock In tho afternoon, the
clerk of the court, or any deputy
clerk, may adjourn tho court from
day to day until the arrival of the
Judge for a period not to ocxeed
two weeks: and any district judge
of the Territory of Alaska may ad
journ any term of court, whether
called by Mm or any other district
judge of the territory, for uny lengt
of time without being personally
present at the place of holding such
term of court at the time of adjourn
ment. provided such judge Is within
the Territory of Alaska at the time
Protect All Workers From
Industrial Accidents

CHERE IS -CRYING NEED OF GENERAL LEGISLATION RE
QUIRING CARELESS EMPLOYERS TO INSTALL SAFETY
DEVICES AND MACHINERY TO CARRY OFF DANGEROUS
DUST AND FUMES IN THEIR FACTORIES.
Illinois is the only state in the Union that has proper labor legis
lation at present. The logical thing would be to havo workmen's
? '-r.-.iti i ar.'l insurance against INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS
- \*D OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES as well. Thero are, how
r, many obstacles in the way of that.
In the first place, there is a general APATHY OF TIIE PUB
I.IC ".'hi''!: c.in be and is being overcome by educational propaganda.
Then there is the interested opposition to such legislation by some
PHYSICIANS who, thriving on large practice among workers in
such ' occupations, so far forget their social obligations as
to opi ? t > eniietment of preventive or remedial legislation to shield
In tl third place, there is the OPPOSITION OF MAN U
F \< "ITRERS, who fear that if they go to the oxpense of providing
:i-ive i ichinery and methods in their factories competitors less
no r in they will be able to undercut them in the price of their
'ict and thus undersell them.
