SAY APPOINT TAFT
TO SUPREME EENSE
Washington, Jan. 11. The most eventful
J matter of the week has been the apparently
1 reliable report that President VnUai is now
j considering slating ex-President 'iuft fvjr
i the position of chief justice of the United
States suprmee court. A sVnp oi disap
proval is noted in both Democratic and i
Progressive papers, the former positively re
fusing to accept the report as in any way j
authentic. As the rumor has not been con
firmed by either Taft or Wit on. it may
have been only a feeler thrown out to gauge
public sentiment, which in this instance
seems among the Progressives and Demo
crats to be unmistakably hostile
In addition to renewed attacks upon Jaft.
the Democratic papers are submitting j
lengthy lists of Democratic judges who.-e j
fame is nation wide as able jurists and who
are under no such cloud as Taft.
Chief Justice White has reached the age
j limit, and it is to fill the expected vacancy
| that the President is now said to be consul
1 ering the name cf Mr. Taft. It has been
the life ambition of the ex-president to at
some time fill the position of chief justice of
the United States supreme court.
The report has stirred up considerable
criticism of such a possible appointment,
! and the President is included in the criti
| cism. All the hard names that Taft re
ceived while he was a candidate for Presi
dent at the last election are now being re
vived to show Prsident Wilson how the ap
pointment of a reputed reactionary would
be regarded. Some of Taft's decisions
while on the federal bench are cited to show j
his unfitness for the position, and the en
meeting of the Chicago real estate board.
“Make all cities with 2,000,000 population
or more separate states,H he said, “with
representatives in congress." He also said
the state of Illinois gets a major portion 1
of its revenue from Chicago* while Chicago
has only a minority representation.
Trenton, N. J. The state supreme court
has set aside the conviction of William
Ilaywood, who, with two others connected
with the Industrial Workers of the World,
was convicted on a charge of being dis
orderly in connection with the recent strike
of the Paterson silk workers. The others
involved are Carlo Trcsca and Adolphy
Lessig. The men were sentenced to six
months in jail. The opinion of the su
preme court holds that the mere fact that
a person walking along the public streets
in a peaceable and quiet manner is fol
lowed by a crowd is not sufficient to jus
tify his conviction of being a disorderly
person on the ground that he obstructed
and interfered with other persons lawfully
on the streets.

mity cf organized Kii» r is also brought out.
Some Progressives conside rsuch an appoint
ment as a possible means of taking an in
direct slap at Roosevelt and the Progres
sives.
On the other hand, there are those who
look upon the contemplated action of Presi
dent Wilson as a graceful tribute to the man
he succeeded, and it is thought that should
the appointment be offered Mr. Taft would
gladly accept it. He has always been more
of a jurist than a politician, and the posi
tion of chief justice of the United States
would be eminently fitted for him, in the
estimation of his friends.
FOR THE BIG DANCE
Camp Flat No. 20, through its entertain
ment committee, is making elaborate ar
rangements to entertain a big crowd on
Saturday evening, February 21, at a mas
querade ball and banquet. Messrs. Goslow

LADIES' SOCIAL
VERY SUCCESSFUL
“Ladies’ night” at Arctic Brotherhood hall
last Wednesday was one long to be remem
bered by those in attendance. It had been
hinted that the ladies in charge had some
surprises in store for their guests, and it
was known that elaborate preparations had
been made for the function, and expecta
tion ran high. It is not too much to say
that a more enjoyable entertainment was
never given in Iditarod. Card playing, vo
cal and instrumental music and other forms
of entertainment, a supper and a dance
formed the varied program provided.
Great pains and artistic ability had been
exercised by the ladies in the decoration of
the had for the occasion, and the result was
a scene of light and ccdor that was ver>
pleasing.
The program commenced at 9:30 with a
progressive whist tournament. Sixteen
| hands were played, and the winners were
j as follows:
Ladies’ prizfcs—First, cut glass carafe, Miss
Wolfe; second, cut glass nappy, Mrs. Baird;
consolation, egg beater (“something you can
beat”*, Mrs. Malt by.
Men’s prizes First, art brass smoking

j While the tables were being set for sup
I per one of the surprises of the evening was
sprung in the introduction to an Iditarod
audience for the first time of the Iditarod

gram was rendered:

The “Iditarod String Orchestra” is com

econd mandolin, W. B. Thomas and II. C.

; Wood; guitar, T. L. Thurston and Harry

The orchestra, which is of recent organ
1 Ration. won the heart" of the audience from
| the outset, and il" performances were
roundly applauded. Its s> lenoid work, after
. -mpar: tivcly few rehearsal", was the sub
j ject of much commendation, and the mem
| ;»ers were heartily cmgratulated. Its ren
i ditinns showed the re.-ult of careful and

i inents.
! Jimmy l arreil. in hi? monologue, made a
; iecided hit. His clever mimicry created so
i much merriment that the point of one of
hi? stories was almost lost by the audience.
Another pleasant surprise furnished by
i the program was a vocal solo by Percy G.
j Charles. The genial representative of the
majesty of the law sang in a very pleasing
manner, and was obliged to respond to an
encore. The rendition by Mrs. Charles of
“A May Morning" was most artistic, and
won for her unstinted applause.
The banjo and guitar duet by Messrs,
i Larson and Thurston was also greatly ap
| predated and enjoyed.
The Sapper
On the completion of the musical pro
gram a dainty supper was served by the
ladies, consisting of salads, sandwiches, cake
and coffee. The varied assortments of cake
and sweetmeats provided by the skilled
hands of the ladies of the city were a rev
elation. Each seemed to have vied with the
other in the production of these dainties, and
the result was most gratifying to the palates
of the guests, who did justice to the spread.
! One cake which was the subject of much
| admiration was covered with a frosting and
adorned with the emblem of the Arctic
l . .
| Brotherhood, a g Id pan containing nuggets,
I done in chocolate, and also a miniature
1 tlag. It was furnished by Mrs. Acheson.
The Dance
After supper the floor was cleared and
dancing was indulged in until a late hour.
The music was furnished by the orchestra,
and although its members weer a tritle
timid at the start, they soon gained confi
dence, and rendered the dance music in
splendid time.
To the ladies of Iditarod, and especially
the committee in charge, Miss Maltby, Mrs.
Charles and Mrs. Joseph Smith, Camp Idit
arod, Arctic Brotherhood, and its friends
are indebted for a truly delightful enter
tainment, and they are to be congratulated
upon the success of their efforts.

ART GF SLED-BUILDING
WILL BE REVOLUTIONIZED
George Dreibclbis is building a -led that
is the fond dream of the do.-iguer and con
structor. It will revolutionize the art of
j building sleds in Alaska. The .-I'd in ques
j tii n is an entirely new model, built on lines
that have never before been attempted in
j the North. The material used in the foil
I struction is native birch worked down by
! hand, oil fii.i. hed and tempered. The body
1 of the sled is fitted with a limousine top,
I merely as a conee.v'ion to Outside ideas in
palatial runabouts, and in compliment to the
M rcedes and Paahard t e ;ple. Among the
new ideas expressed in the make-up is an
automatic brake that throws itself auto
atically when the forward end of the sled
ped, as in going n hill, thu
1 the necessarv drag when it is needed. The
f
bn.; is fitted with a trail finder that also
| works aut mm Tally, being thrown into
! near as soon as the sled attempts to leave
| ihe trail. A 1 ikuuueter is ooneeale<l in the
| boot that operates a music box, placed just
above the brake, that is set in motion as
: soon a.- the si. d is traveling live miles per
' hour, and ; Ly • c.-Fiim mly as 1 or as the
l team maintain.' thi.- gait or better, and stop
j as soon as the pace falls below this speed.
! The bed of the .-I d is a fireless cooker ( f
| the latest improved model, and a li do <>iu ;
j silk tarp forms a cover for the load in the
! diytime, and can 1 • converted into a sT- :
j ing tent, a dining r • >m or a boudoir in one
^ minute's time when night overtakes the
driver on the trail.
Patents have been applied for on all the
new ideas, and the “tout ensemble” is ailed
