CRITICISM,
There are many people m the world
who can find no more pleasing occupa
tion than looking for a chance to c riti
cize. Restlessly they roam to and fro,
conning the thoughts and acts of
others, seeking for flaws and watching
with a. patience worths- of a I jet ter
cause for an opportunity to point out
some mistake or omission on the part
of others, it matters not in the ma
jority of eases if the fault be great or
small, so that it furnish an excuse for
letting loose their views as to the right
or wrong of it. The smallest failing
furnishes a pretext equally its enjoy
able to the habitual critic as the gros
sest error and is siezed upon witli equal
avidity, In either case all that is de
sired is the chance to loose a carping
tongue.
•Velther do they care if the object
of their fault finding propensities dis- |
play a thousand merits to offset a
single failure, for it is seldom your
opinionated critics will allow even the
most grudging concessions to the v ir
tues because the manna of their ex
istence is not what is good and above
reproach.
Merits are not what they are seeking
and only that which may be disparaged
finds favor in their sight. It is true
ihnt criticism is a mighty force In the
caustic or kindly nature*,4 y*f« either a
does not justify the habitual critic in
using his club on any thing and every
thing which may not meet with his
egotistical approval.
Tho professional critic, be lie paid
or merely a volunteer, is seldom con
structive and is rarely equal to a larger
labor than tearing to tatters that which
others have created. It is a proverbial
fact that literary critics are seldom able
to write a good book and the best
judges of the merits or demerits of
painting and sculpture are those who
have no acquaintance with the brush
or chisel. While these facts arc* in a
sense outside the question they never
the less apply in a certain degree
The habitual critic will seldom be
found to be without personal faults in
plenty but this fact is usually lost to
Idmacdf for that he is so busy with the
shortcomings of others that he can
spare but little time to attend to the
correction of his own errors The
principle trouble with this type of seif
constituted arbiters is that their habi
tual practice of fault seeking leads to
the warping of their judgment to such
extent that they can See but little save
error in all which does not emanate
from within themselves. Such beings
are to be pitied for surely theirs Is any
thing but an enviable existence.
Although It would probably be dif
ficult to make them realize it. neither
man nor woman who allow their minds ,
in fall Into a state where but little save
that whtch admits of dissension can
appeal, cannot fully realize the full Joy
of living Faults are everywhere and
nothing in this world is perfect but it
is in the nature of things that there is
a virtue to atone for every fault and it,
it indeed a cankered and perverted
soul that cannot see and appreciate th.i
good the beatifui and true rather than
the gross and the unsightly.
LANE'S POPULARITY
It was rather an extraordinary poll
of bankers, lawyers and merchants
which tvas taken by the Lawyer and
Hanker, a legal and financial journal
,...u,•>,„« ,,, r.,I w , »rics ns KfoertTTe
it asked its subscribers, the large num
ber of whom are Southern men natur
ally, to express their preferences for
presidential candidates for the election
I of 1916. Of the Republicans who re
sponded the greater number expressed
a preference for Mr. Justice Hughes,
of Hie supreme court of Hie United
States, while Mann, the Republican
leader of the house was second
The ballot for ttie Democratic nomi
! uoe furnished the surprise. Franklin
K. Lane, secretary of the interior, re
ceived 1.119 votes, as compared with
I 70S for Mr Wilson and 700 for Speaker
• Mark. The great plurality for Sec
retary Lane might indeed have been
| larger were it not for the strong prob
ability that a considerable number of
the voters were aware of the fact,
{which the 1,119 evidently overlooked,
II hat Mr i.ane. as a native of Canada,
j is not eligible for the presidency of
t lie United States
Is it a remarkahie tribute to a
strong man.
The ballot was taken before the re
• cut repoit of Secretary Garrison, of
i l he department of war, or the proh
! abilities are that that gentleman would
i have figured strongly in Hie ballot.
It is accepted as a matter of course
jthat President Wilson will be renoni
;inaled in 1916. The probabilities are
jthat this will be the case Hut tills
[straw vote shows that the idea that the
resident is so highly popular in his
own party that there could scarcely

BERRY DREDGE ALMOST
READY FOR OPERATIONS
I'
With good weather and a fairl> got cl
trail, Nels Rasmussen, of Cir If, has
succeeded in landing i>raotienll> ail of
the machinery for I he Berry Aref.ge,
which is to be operated on Mammoth
deck during the coining sununtr, m -
cording to Captain Nat C. Bowman, of
Eagle creek, who is in ti wn for a fen

back in Fairbanks late in thT*prosem
month, according to ids presold cal
culations Jack Lindsay, who is em
ployed by the owners of the dredge, is
in town now. buying some nccepssnry
parts for the plant.
itogurdlng general conditions in the
Circle district, Captain Itowmau says
that tint outlook for tin1 corning season
is good, and there probably will bo
a greater number of men employed
than in several years. The dredge will
employ in the neighborhood of titty
men. it is rumored, and a number of
other smaller outfits will employ quite
a few.
At tin- present time. Andy Nelson
is taking out a winter dump on Mam
moth creek. On Deadwood and In
dependence creeks there are a few
small outfits taking out dumps, and a

ATTORNEY GENERAL TO
PASS ON SESSION LAWS
•Awing to the mixup caused by the
territorial laws imposing duties on fed
eral officials, and the Infer acts of con
gress requiring federal officials* to per
form such duties as are imposed by^
the legislature, provided they do not
interfere with their other work. Mar
shal Erwin has written a long com
munication to the attorney-general,
asking for instructions as to what
course he shall pursue. R.v a decision
rendered hv the comptroller of the
currency, on October I. 1913, the federal
officials were forbidden to ineiir any
expense in performing duties imposed
by tile legislature. Ry an act of con
gress, approved August 29,1911, die
federal officials are ordered to carry
out the instructions of the legislature
and to meet the expenses in the same
titan tier as provided by acts of congress
provided it does not interfere with
other acts of congress
Now the marshal puts it up to tliej
attorney-general to decide what ads
interfere with tlie laws of congress, and
Which must he complied with hv the
officials he’v.
