Bobby Service wrote the “Trail of ’'98,” but it was 1898 whén he came North preceded him in 1897. But * ’ seems to be the accepted date in literature, and when we have a carnival in celebration of Alaska's heroic epoch, we have a mnight devoted to the “Days of '98." But it's all wrong. However, getting back to the original, Mr. Walden h written an interesting book and it is, generally speaking, an authentic of con- ditions in the da of which he It is worth reading. It is fair to say that while the author con- stantly refers to the “stampede of '98,” the ‘‘rush of '98,” etc., and never the stampede or rush of '97, in his narrative he recites in detail the inci- dents of the desertion of Fortymile in December, 1896, and of Circle in January, 1897, when every- body in those camps rushed to the Klondike after receiving the news of the richness of the claims that were staked after the ery by George Carmack (Cormack, he spells the name) in Aug- ust, 1896. The real richness of the claims was not disclosed until the men who had located early In the game had reached bedrock after the freeze- up.

While the Liberal repres will not be large, it will be. com: posed as many of the strongest men of the party. With Mr. Pattullo as the leader, if Dr. MacLean should refuse it, the Liberal Party will be strong enough to make itself felt. That will be particularly for the reason that the opposi- tion will represent important section of the Province—ocne that the Government cannot af- ford to neglect.

A letter is a “paper.” But a vibration conveying the same information as might be contained in the letter is something outside the constitutional guaranty. Users of telephone and telegraph will now be without that protection they heretofore have imagined they possessed. Their privacy is no more immune from invasion. It is this privacy which the bill of rights assumes to protect. If its letter is at fault its intent certainly is not. In this view the decision Is not only illogical, but out of harmony with the spirit of democracy, and potential of grave danger. It is something more ‘serious- than the description of Justice Holmes felt called upon to give to it—"‘dirty business.” It assuredly is very grave business. Assassination Defeats Own Purpose. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) A shocked world has just read of the brutal assassination of Alvaro Obregon, recently elected as President of the Mexican Republic. For four years he had served his country well and had won the respect not only of the United States, but of the world. After an interim, he was on the eve of a second period of usefulness to his (ountry and to pacific international relations. A one-armed man, defenseless, he was sit- ting at a banquet when his murderer shot him down with five bullets fired at close range. Whatever may have been his purpose or pur- poses, the assassin defeated his own ends by his cowardly act. The murder, cold-blooded, will merely serve to strengthen and intensify the Mexican people in their adherence to the policies which Obregor represented-—the policies on the basis of which he was elected to carry out which he would have lived usefully. Whatever wrongs, if any, Obregon's slayer have been attempting to call attention to his foul act will for the moment he lost sight of in the public reaction of horror to the assas- sination, The people of the United States, as the citi- rens of all countries, will deeply sympathize with Mexico—a country now doubly bereaved by the h a few days ago of its brave aviator, Car- and now by the cowardly assassination President-elect.
