She is nearly always > cast lor a ballad or song specialty in every appearance. Miss Ogden is J very English. Her home is in Lon ? don, England. , Mrs. Lang is delighted with Alaska. "I think Juneau is such a quaint and picturesque place," she said, "but I've been puzzled over one thing. I would like to know whether that mountain (Mt. Juneau) was squeezed out of the town or whether the town just slipped like a skirt from the form of the mountain. It looks as if that great pinnacle might fall over some time and crush the place." Bert Lang is also an enthusiastic booster of the North. "Say, this is the greatest land on earth," he said, "I have never seen such grand scenery as is to be found in this section around Juneau?and health, my, this is a healthy place. I feel so good I want to go out and kill a bear." If the ice in LeBarge hangs on a little longer, Mr. Lang will secure a guide and take a bear hunt before leaving Gastineau channel. o?o?o Some Do.

RELIGIOUS PAPER PRAISES CABINET The two journalists of the Cabinet, Secretary Bryan and Secretary Dan iels, with timely and trenchant words, have rebuked the section of the Ameri can press that now is busy arousing the war passion of the nation by faked news, by distorted interpretations of orders issuing from Washington ofli ciasl and by unmistakable fanning of the flame of race prejudice. The vig or and candor of this attack upon a dis reputable minority of American journ alists will be welcomed by the press of the country, which, judged by a poll made by Japanese natiouuls resident in America, has been preponderatlng ly on the side of amity and mainte nance of good will. The Bismarck saying that "the windows our press smashes we shall have to pay for" is one that the present administration evidently has more firmly fixed in mind than was the case when, in 1898, some of the same journals now busy in throwing "saud into the bearings" were forcing the hand of the govern ment in negotiations with Spain. Under tne guise ui u pseuuiri/unmi-1 ism the sensational journalist may vir- j tually be a traitor not only to his coun try but to the highest civilization of' his time. Treason may mask under the face of ultra-loyalty to country. The nominal goal may be war for de fense of national Interests; the real, aim may be stimulus of a hectic crav ing for sensational newspapers. Nor is this charge of social treason against the journalistic war-promoter one that falls alone from the lips of idealists' like Tolstoi or Bryan. Evidence from responsible diplomats and from journ alists with consciences is corrobora tive. Candor of denunciation and vigor of action against journalism of a strife-provoking kind is not confined, in these days, to the field of interna itional relations. The national Con gress of mothers now in session in Boston has had laid before it by the I secretary of the Religious Education j Association an argument relative to j parental responsibility in choice of the family daily newspaper. it is, based on the fundamental premise that no home can consider as other than treasonable to civilization and decent family life any journalist who proposes to make the stable product I of his daily offering the record of hu manity's crimes and destructive acts. | ?Christian Science .Monitor. ~ ~ ~ U KJ U LONELY PROSPECTOR COMMITS SUICIDE E. J. Stier, Uuited States couimis "sioner lor the Kuskokwim district, has written an interesting account of the suicide about 45 miles up Stony, river, a tributary of the Kuskokwim, and 05 miles from Georgetown, of E. C. Tawuey, a lonely prospector. The man killed himself in February. The dead body was discovered in March, and Commissioner Stier took the wit-1 uesses, a jury and dog teams to the cabin of the dead man where one of the most expensive inquests ever held in Alaska determined that -the man had committed suicide. Tawuey, he coming ill and helpless, had shot his i dog aud then himself, using a 12-j guage shotgun. The body was propped up in bed; the gun barrel grasped in the right, and a string was tied to the trigger at one end and the other held in the left hand. One foot was in the bite of the string. The following note was found close at hand: "?Feb?abot 12?1913. " '.My leags al swelled up i can bear ly walk. 1 can hard ley breath cant sleap at night. Wood is getting im possible i guess 1 mite as well quite. Weake walk about 25 feet verry slow ly. 6-Skins go to bury me. '"MR. E. C. TAWNEY. "Tony.'"
