WOMEN DO DRIVE
MEN TO DRINK
Judge R. Page of the district court
at Milwaukee. AVis., belivea in tile old
adage that some women drive men tc
drink. He has prepared ten command
ments showing tlie failings of wlvet
which most frequently cause drunken
ness. aecordlng to his experience.
Man is a lover of cleanliness and
when his dream of a tidy, orderly horn*
materialises Into a place of dirt and
disorder, he very’ often turns drunkard
to forget," says Judge Page He say."
that through this failure alone, womer
bring sorrow and disgrace upon them
selves.
"And don't forget the cooking,” Is
his warning “Many homes have been
destroyed because the wife could not
prepare a good meal.”
Here is the “Decalog of Judge Page"
which gives the causes of drunkenness:
First—Returning from their daily
labor* and finding their homes in dirty,
untidy condition.
Second—Returning home and finding
wife absent, no meal ready, no prepara
tion made for her return.
Third—Continued nagging without
cause, provocation or excuse.
Fourth—Continually quarreling with
other members of the family in the
presence of the husband.
Fifth—Demanding tilings beyond the
means of the husband and complaining
constantly of his Inability to furnish
them.
Sixth- Indiscretion in the disposition
of bis earnings, spendnig same for un
necessary things and forcing him in
debt for necessities.
Seventh—Incompatibility of disposi
tion, making no effort to make the
I home cheerful, offering no companion
ship.
Right—Forcing company on the hus
| band distasteful to him.
i Ninth—Soliciting and premttting in
terference of relatives in strictly fam
ily affairs.
Tenth—Wilful neglect of the child

ALASKA NOTES
(From »>ur Exchanges.)
Public opinion at Juneau is practi
cally unanimous that an Alaskan law
yer should have been named for IMs-i
trict Attorney for (his division. 11 ■
should have been so. The record has'
shown that real Alaskans make morej
satisfactory publis officials in the
Nurth than those appointed from the
Outside and the principle of home Is
best served by the appointment of men
to high place who come to Alaska to
enjoy Alaskan opportunities and not
for ttie sake of obtaining a salary.
The circumstances that the appli
cants for the appointment as United
States District attorney at Juneau were
both men of high character and excel
lent ability accentuates the injustice
of appointing a non-resident to the
position.
However, the appointment has been
made, and let us hope that the now
official will measure up to the fullest
expectations of Ihe appointing power.
The welfare of the community in
every way demands that District At
torney Smiser should have a fair
chance to make good. It not only
would be unfair to him to judge him
adversely in advance, but we cannot
I
afford to do it on account of the public
good.—Juneau Empire.
Of course District Attorney Spence
knew nothing about the intended res
ignation of Assistant Attorney Brii- !
baker, while in Cordova yesterday, but1
by this time lie lias no doubt been
fullj* acquainted with the fact that Mr.
Brubaker has taken over the business
of Judge Bunnell at Valdez, and if in
so doing it in any way' interferes with
his holding down a federal job. his
resignation will be tendered Uncle Sam,
us announced in The Times a week
or so ago.—Cordova Alaskan.
From Ruby Record.—Gordon C. Bet •
ties, one of the best known old timers
in Interior Alaska, has gone to the
coast with the intention of making his
future home at or near Knik. Mr. Bet
ties has for the past four or five years
resided on the lower Kuskokwim. It is
learned that he and his family, con
sisting of Mrs. Betties, Miss Elsie
Korinos and Ben Korlncs, departed
over the trail the first part of Decem
ber.
Because the Seward Gateway said
that "any man worthy of the name be
lives that governing himself badly is
better than to bo governed well by
others,"tho Douglas News reads it and
those who agree with it a lecture for
favoring self-government in order to
get bad government. This is not fair.
With so much suffering on account of
wars and earthquakes and cold waves
it is unseemly to make people laugli
over-heartily. The News is altogether
too funny.—Juneau Empire.
McCarthy.—The party* taken into
custody on suspicion of being connected
with the murder of Schornborn, in the
Chisana and brought here recently, is
ono James Kingston, of Dawson, an al
leged confidence man. Where the ar
rest yvas made or any particulars in
connection with the case are being
kept closely guarded by the deputy
marshal, who refuses to give out any’
information.—Cordova Times.
Cordova has started to clean out tho
undesirable citizens.
The great high wind* kept the water
olt Point hope open to the 18th of

Alaska's population i» said t" have
increased 3,000 last year. A still great
er increase is expect in 1915.
A Juneau man who sustained a serious
fall caused by a defective sidewalk, has
sued the city for 130.000 damages.
A Cordova paper, which states that
it is the only permanent daily In that
city, admits that it i* being ran at a
loss.
The cltv of Seward recently had hut
$36 cash in the treasury, but a flow of
money Is soon expected from licenses
and delinquent taxes.
Judge leanings, of the IT. S. district
court, has announced that divot.. will
not lie granted unless the plaintiff ap
pears tnenurt.
Cordova, solved the unemployed proh
j lem fora short time by putting t In* idle
I men to work shoveling snow from the
I sidewalks and roofs.
I Again is Cordova without a real ani
| trial cow. The only one in town was
shipped to Valdez. As a consequence
all will again have to fall back on tin
ned mill..
i
There is a strong probability that th»
development of the Alaska Treasure
mine at Nevada creek, a mile south of
the Treadwell mines, will he resumed
on a substantial scale this summer.
At Cordova, a Greek and a Scandi
navian made a bet on the outcome of
the Warsaw campaign, by the terms
I of which the loser was to walk to the
end of the dock and jump Into the hay.
Volncy 13. Leonard, a capitalist of
Houston, Texas, and personal friend of
Collector of Customs Pugh, writes to
Mr. l’ugli asking for information of
Alaskan cities, as lie is anxious to es
tablish a hank at some promising point
in the North.
A QUESTION
JF PRICE
General Obregon of the "Constitu
tionallsta” army of Mexico (1015 Car
ranza Model, self-starting, internal
combustion type) has been quoted as
naively remarking:
“Every day opportunities are presen
ted to mo for splendid business deals,
which I havo rejected with indignation
for to accept them would bo like sur
rendering into my enemies' hands. If
I were to remain in this city two
months, perhaps I should in the end be
overcome and cease to be honest. .1
am human and, therefore, capable of
being corrupted, but so far i have suc
ceeded in clinging firmly to my prin
ciples," This is very much like the
story of the army sergeant in the
Filipinos who was v isited for several
days In succession by an astute Chinese
sampler who desired to operate with
out molestation. Each day the celes
tial would lay on the sergeant's desk
tablo a pile of money, daily augmented,
gazing silently but enquiringly at his
vis-a-vis. Recurrently a silent yet elo'
quent gesture of the sutler arm would
indicate the scornful spurning of the
offered bribe. Finally, however, when
the liail reached the interesting sum
of $10,000, the gesture was transferred
to tiie right boot and made kinetieally
effective: while the silence was broken
| with "git the - - out of here, you
you're genin' too
near my price.” If the Mexican pa
triots would only fill Ross Tweed's
standard specifications for an honest
man (i.e.. "one who will stay bought”!,
perhaps someone eould arouse popular
interest in a movement to buy up these
manager dogs of Mexican politics.

SEA TRIP
P.Y EDWIN F. WEIC5I.E
THE HAGFE.—I arrived here re
cently after making the trip from Hull. ■
England, via Rotterdam, on a British
steamer. We left Hull with eleven
passengers aboard and came through
the North Sen and across the English
channel to Rotterdam.
The voyage was thoroughly exciting
for all of us. knowing as we did that
we were running the gauntlet of Ger
man submarines and floating mines
All th« passengers had life holts on j
constantly.
We saw no German submarines, and
for this we were thankful, hut we saw
and passed three floating mines, one of
them only fifty yards away The voy
age took about forty-eight hours, what
with the ship feeling its way along
at slow speed and always prepared lo
make a run for it if the periscope of I
a German submarine should tie sighted
above the water.
In ordinary times the trip from Hull
to Rotterdam is a matter of fifteen
hou rs.
When we reached Rotterdam we
learned that the betting there had been
four to one that our ship would not
reach port
