Daily Alaskan ?-* L M. JENSEN, PUBUSHER JOHN W. TROY, EDITOR SCBSCHIPriON RATES One ?wk. <Wltrere<l ly arrler One month, by mall fhm months, by nu'l Six mouth*, by nail On* year, by mall A H MIDSHIP OIV CITIZENS One of the disagreeable feature* of government in Alaska has been em phasized in the last week. Under the law, a* Judge Gunnison interprets It, juries hare to be drawn from the judi cial dlvisiou us a whole, irrespective of the location of the town at which the term of the court at which they are to serve will hold. As a result of this anomaly in government, of 'he 73 juror* petit aod grand, who were recently drawn at Juneau for the term of court which will convene next Monday at Ket kikan ooly a half dozen are from that section of the division for which the court will be held. M st of others are rem Junei.u ?od v'cin 'y and Skigway .?i'd vicinity. To meet th s demsvad on their citizeu ship several Skagwayans will be taken from their pl*"?a at business at a time of the year when their presence is rerv greaciy in demand to sit as jurors at a town 330 miles away. Their expense and inconvenience will be great at best and the los? caul-l very well be more than some of them a < e ? ole to bear. This is more than the law has a right to demand of men who have the affairs of business to care for an I families to . .75 ,?-?5 . 4.30 . ?.co support, except in great emergencies | wheie tne public good requires it. It is far more than the contl't'oos require of | citizens in thiscountry notwithstanding 1 the law to the cootrary. Judge Brown obviated this hardship by making an order directing the clerk of the court aud jury commissioners in preparing the jury lists to select the n?mes of persons only from the section of the district for ?nich the term of court at which the jurors to be drawn were to serve was .o b<i held. This the district attorney acd other lawyers have held was not in accordance with the law, and Judge Gunnison, ho ling likewise, annulled the order. It is not the province of a newsp iper to say whether JuJgeGunnison is light or Judge Brawn. However, the situa tion could be helped if the clerk of the court and jury commissioner would se lect most of the people from which tbe jury is to be drawn from those In the Ticinity of the place at which the court Is to be held. A DUTY AS WELL AS A RIGHT Id discussing the problem of govern ment in Alaska the Seattle Post- intel ligencer never fails to distinguished the wheat from the chaff. It always sifts the question down to the princi ples involved and to these it applies American theories o' government. The re*s!t is invariably a conclusion in favor of self-government. In discussing the question not loog ago It even went further. It held that Alaska is not only entitled to govern it self, but that it is its duty to do <o and that it should be compelled to exeicise that duty, in this connection, com menting upon Gov. Swineford s conten tion that a delegate in congress without a territorial organization would be val ueless, with which contention it agrees, the Post-Intelligencer said: ' The Post- Intelligencer has been in slstent la voicing this demand, even at a time whea m&o? of the newspaper* of Alaska were oppoeed to having a ter ritorial organization. It bellevea, In deed, tLat the people of Alaska should be compelled to experoise self-govern ment and make their own laws through their own legislative assembly, even If they were really contented with condi tions a? they are." The democratic party of Philadel phia has endorsed the nonpartizan ticket nominated by the newly organ ized city party. Mayor Weaver and the dem viatic members of the board of aldermen were endorsed.

ABIT OF AMATEUR DETECTIVE WORK [Original ] I suppose I inn considered n man of flue literary taste, though the only evi dence I have of this Is that my friends are continually asking my opinion of this or that book. One class of Action I always detested? detective stories. Today I rend every detective story I can get my bunds on. This Is the cause of my conversion: One summer my friend Charlie Coe asked me to spend some time with him at his country sent, lie hud there a number of guests. Including Virginia Carney, whom 1 had met before, and Miss Kate Taylor, whom I met there for the first time. Virginia Carney was inclined to literature of n refined type, and It was supposed that cn ac count of congenial tastes she and I would make a match. When Miss Tay lor told me that she loved detective stories It seemed to me that we could never have anything In common. One evening as I was hurrying down to dinner, being late, I saw a well dressed man on the stairs with an over coat on bis arm nnd a satchel In his band. On seeing me he looked a tri fle embarrassed, told me that he was a newly arrival guest, that he did not wish to disturb the host while nt din ner and be would lie obliged if I would show him to some room where he could make a toilet. The butler was in the hall below, and It occurred to me to turn the man over to him; but, not wishing to appear disobliging, I took him up to my own room and left blm there. I did not think of him again, nor did I see him. I played an exciting game of billiards after diuuer and from then til) midnight danced. The next morn ing early I was off with a fishing party ami did not return till shortly before dinner. On entering the house 1 met my host and told him of my success at fishing. He listened without showing the slight est Interest? indeed, was very freezing In his demeanor toward me. At din ner the guests treated me In the same fashion. No one refused to speak to me, but all avoided me. During the evening I went to Miss Carney and endeavored to draw from her the cause of my singular treatment. 1 soon found that, whatever the cause was, she had been as fully affected by it as any one else. But she gave me no satisfaction. Later, much depressed by what I could not understand. I went out on to the piazza and sat alone. Hearing a light step behind me, 1 turned, and there was Kate Taylor. I arose and bowed formally, not knowing what to expect. "You have noticed, ! suppose," she said, 'a coolness toward you. I doubt If you know the cause." "I do not" "A number of guests have missed since last night some of their valua bles, and a diamond brooch was found yesterday morning by the manservant who brushes the guests' clothes In the side pocket of your dinner Jacket" For a momeut I was thunderstruck, but the guest, or, rather, thief, whom I had taken to my room soon came back to my memory and accounted for ev erything. I hurriedly gave the girl an account of the matter, and 1 saw at once that she believed my story. Then I started to go In and explain the mat ter to the host. "One moment," said Miss Taylor. "Will he believe you?" "Why not? IK> you not believe me?" "Yes, but I did not believe you guilty in the first place. If I had I don't think I would be much Influenced by your story. In criminal cases you will notice that people range themselves on one side or the other and do not change their opinions whatever the evidence or the verdict" "What course do you advise?" "I have always had a fancy for de tective work. Suppose you do nothing for the present and leave the matter to me." I was glad to avail myself of any assistance. She asked me to tell my story over, questioning me minutely as I did so. Then we separated, It being understood that she was not to treat me auy differently from the others. The next few days were torture to me. Avoided by the guests and treat ed coolly by the host, I wished to leave, bnt Miss Taylor advised my remain ing, so I stayed on and every day was the more shunned. At the end of the fifth day, Just be fore dinner, the host asked for the at tendance of every guest In the draw ing room. I felt sure that my tlmo bad come; that I was about to be de nounced. When we were assembled, Coo addressed us: "My friends, r. robbery has occurred in this house which has thrown sus picion on one guest and has been un raveled by another." lie then told the story of my meeting the man in the hall and continued: "A lady took up the case, and, from the fact of the butler having been in the hall when or soon after the ussumed guest entered, she suspected him aud left money (marked) where it would tempt him. He was caught in the trap, and on promise of immunity confessed that he had admitted the thief while we were at dinner. The unexpected meet ing on the stalre had well nigh frus trated the thief's plans. Thinking he would be caught, he slipped the broach in the guest's pocket. Our valuables have all been recovered. The name of the exonorated guest I need not men tlon; the amateur detective is Miss Taylor." Every one in the room took me by the hiuid and congratulated me ou my vindication, but I have never since spo ken to an.v one of them except Kate Taylor, who U now my wife. 8. HUNTER nALSEY.
