ALASKA’S VOID ACTS.
In the opinion of the attorney gen
eral of the United States, all of the
acts for raising revenue passed by the
territorial legislature of Alaska are
void, because the acts provided for
the work of collecting taxes to be
done by the federal officers of the
territory, instead of providing a
number of addi ;onal officers for the
purpose. The Alaska laws provided
that commissioners and clerks of
courts should do this collecting, and
made provision for their payment.
The organic act for the territory pro
vides that no federal officials shall
hold office under the government of
the territory.
The opinion of the attorney general j
Is severely technical, but the prob
abilities are that the courts will take
the same view. There are two rem
edies; one the calling of an extra ses
sion of the legislature and the pass
age of a law creating the necessary
new offices, with provision for filling
them and paying the officers. The
other, simpler, far more economical
and far better, would be for congress
to pass a simple act giving validity
to the laws passed by the Alaska leg
islature. I
There are precedents in abundance
for this. It was a common practice,
when their were a number of terri
torial legislatures and when territor
ial courts had decided against some
necessary legislation because conflict- j
ing in form with the organic act of t
the territory, to appeal to congress to |
reenact it. which congress almost uni
reenact it, which congress almost uni- I
formly did.
There are no valid reasons why ex
isting federal officers, like court!
tieiks and commissioners, should not
do th.'s tax collecting for the terri
tory. instead of requiring the creation :
of a similar number of salaried offi
cers, to be paid out of the tax re
ceipts. On any direct presentation of
the facts it is hard to see how any
member of congress could find an ob
jection to interpose to an act to vali- j
date the acts of the Alaska legisla
ture.—Seattle Posl-Intelligencer.
NOT THE DANCE, BUT THE
DANCERS.
In all the heated and protracted ar
gument concerning the tango and;
Other lately devised dances, it is to
be noted that condemnation comes
chiefly from persons whose habits of
thought and standards of conduct im
pel them to denounce dancing as a
pastime whenever opportunity offers,
and that, in the sane judgment of un
prejudiced observers, the new' dances
are objectionable or not according to
the way they are danced. The tan- ,
go can be a graceful and beautiful ,
dance, it can be, and Is, made ugly
and vulgar by dancers who lack a
sense of decency. Precisely the same
things could be said, and were said,
in former years of the polka and the
waltz. An applicable moral, neatly
expressed in verse, lingers in the
memory:
Said the Uev Jabez McCotton,
“The waltz of the devil’s begotten!”
But Jim made reply:
“Never mind the old guy,
To the pure almost everything’s
rotten.”
The psychological reason for the
recent revival of dancing has not
been discovered. Perhaps the popu
larity of the Russian ballet dancers
and the new development of theatri
cal dancing gen; "ally have influenced
it somewhat. Perhaps social man
had grown overtired of the strain of
cares and responsibilities and felt
the need of more relaxation than
can be obtained by sitting silently
to look and listen while other people
do things. Anyhow, within two years
people whose "dancing days were ov
er” have found new dancing days and
nights, while youth is dancing more
furiously than ever before. That the
craze has its comical side is indis
putable, that much of the dancing one
sees is pretty poor dancing nobody
will deny, but that thef contemporary
dance is essentially immoral is not
true. Every dancer is not a satyr or
! a hilding. In fact, in the present
| state of society the snpply of such
i is limited. The tango is as innocent
1 as any dance when the dancer is in
| nocent. When it is immoral it ought
to be discountenanced for its immor
ality, not just because it is' the tan
| go.—N.. Y. Times.

Twenty-five dollars isn’t much

clothes; when you come to know what
first-class quality of materials and

mind as to style that price commands,
you will almost think it isn’t enough
to pay. We carry a large line.
