It isn't always advisable to fig
ure an immediate dividend on every
Invest Kent. There are hundreds
of public Improvement* upon which
no one can calculate a return In
dollars ami cents, but which at the
same time are the greatest dividend
producers to the community. It is
almost impossible to spend money
Tor public improvement without re
aliting an adequate benefit to the
entire citixenship, yet it would be
difficult indeed to say In what par
ticular case, and to what extent
anyone was materially benefitted.
For the past month or si*
weeks Skagwa.v has been the mc*i
brilliant 1 \ lighted city in Alaska
with strings of electric lamps cross
ing the street nt intervals of half
blocks This has been done by the
merchants, who are beginning to
feel that the expense is too much
to be borne individually, and con-:
template 'heir removal after the
holidays. It is true that the mer
chants receive some individual bene
fit from the extra lights, and It
is equallv true that the city as a
whole is also benefitted; on the
other hand U is an absolute injury
to both merchant and citlien to
permit the renio\al of the extra
lights, therefore It seem* very logi
cal that the city and the merchants
should pool their issues and main
tain a ? ei| illuminated business dts
II is a psychological fact <
crime is lessened under the effects
of efficient street lighting, and It
is also true that busin??ss is stimu
lated by the same means There
are mighty few people mho are go
ing to light up a smoky old lantern
for the purpose of goi np, out at
night to buy supplies, on the con
trary. darkness Is a seductive agent
for the commission of robberies and
chicken stealing
The dastardly work of the man I
who teat Kxpr?*se Agent Taylor in
to insensibility and robbed the of
fice in Skagway the other night
will arouse the indignation of every
right thinking citizen of the North
Few such affairs have taken place
In the North Skagway had one
? ase of the kind last year. It is
singular I hat a similar robbery
should take place In a similar office
in steamboat row in the same town
this year The matter cannot be
sifted too thoroughly. As the ex-1
press company which is vlctimi*ed
in this instance has had more ex
perience fighting holdup men and
running them to their lair* than
any other comjsiny on this con
tinent. the Skagway outlaw may l
yet be brought before the court of
justice
One thing is certain. If the mur
derous footpad is brought into court ,
and convict*! he should be given
the limit. Milk and water sentences
are too common these davs for such
grave offenses For such work men
in Canada have been given life. The
states would have far fewer hold
ups and far fewer footpads, de
faulters. safecrackers, sneak thieves,
gold dust robbers and society rene
gades If the bench would bind to
gether to put the rascals behind
the bars for life and the respective
states would so amend their laws
that the demoralising parole system
be abolished. The habitual crim
inal is too much at liberty. Any
tendancy to continue to assault and
rob should mean continued jail
terms. There Is no reason in re
I easing a degenorate of criminal
type every few months to prey on
the industrious classes of society,
and then 'o hire a eorpj of sleuths
to round up the criminal.
A plain holdup In Dawson in the
early days in which no one was In
jured resulted In one man being
given fourteen years. That sen
teme hid a wholesome effect No
man ever has been sandbagged or
held up at the point of a gun In
this territory since. If the attempt
?'ver be treated the limit should
j be given a^ain.

koners bovond the reach of this ter
ritory v .is pTtii a mild sentence.
?ml paroled recently. Now ho to j
ander arrest .".pain If convicted Of
the second offense, he should be
given the habitual criminal decree,
and Kept behind the bars. In the
first instance he robbed the hard
working prospectors of the North of
their gold in an America* juvvi y of
fice Now hi Is accused of counter
feiting If there is oie place a
prospector's gold should he wife it
is in h government office If crim
inals are detected behind the count
er in the civil service they should
not be nllowed to get off on picnic
cond'tiors after a few >eari?
It is all well enough to instruct
the criminal in Jail and elevate him
front slum conditions and to aban
don t h- thought that he is fit only
for hel . t-ur when It is known the
criminal instinct is so inbred as to
make eradication hopeless, then
keep the Kan where he will not
prey on others.
Alaska has had n number of gold
robberies. Yukon has had some
