GOOD CITIZENSHIP.
(Sood citizenship consists in
more than being: a good neighbor,
a good husband and father or an
enterprising member of I he com
munity. ' The really good citizen
is ho who not only possesses the
altributes given, but who as well
lakes an interest in the govern
ment and gives his best, thought
and elVort for the constant bet
terment nl public conditions, for,
after all i* said and done, the
government under which we live
has very mueli to do with our
prosperity or adversity. The
blind partizau of either a polil .
ical organization or an individual
i- I)■ >I Ihr best uf citizens. Ill's
niindirectt*d zeal and blind fol
lowing may, and usually does,
lead '• I" conditions inimical to
our well being.
The really good citizen or per
haps best expressed in tin* term
valuable citizen, is lie who de
cides on the best course lo pur
sue only after having carefully
studied the needs of the commun
ity. state or nation, without pre
judice or bias and actuated on
ly in a feeling of the greatest
good to the great est number. It
i^ a safe proposition that a man
who becomes impatient or angry
when a political discussion does
n't happen to suit his views, is i
not the highest lype of citizen
ship.
The same can be said of t he |
citizen who is not amenable to!
reason or argument. Wind to|_:

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Since their nominations the
opinions of Wilson, Taft and
Roosevelt seem to be much sought
after.
The law, as enunciated by the
"floating court," should be re
versible having no permanent
moorings.
Both the Johnson-Flynn and
Wolgast-Rivers fights are anoth-i
er argument in behalf of out
lawing prize fighting.
Mr. Bryan and Senator O'Gor
man made a grave mistake in not
having consulted Teddy when
they drew up that platform.
Everybody has agreed that a
third party is not necessary but
Col. 'lloosevelt. Now Teddy make
the question unanimous for once.
It is quite impertinent 011 the
part of La Eollelte to inquire as
to what amount of money the
Harvester Trust expended in Ted
dy's campaign.
Every cili/cn who has located
a coal claim in Alaska should
vote for James Wiekersham, who
has endorsed Theodore lloosevelt
and his withdrawal of eoal lands.
There is a great similarity, at
least in results, between an old
fashioned Fourth of July celebra
tion and an aviation nuri. At
Ica.-d they collect about tin- same
dralli toll.
In the future Dr. Boyle had
belter make sure before he calls
upon strangers in the audience to
speak in behalf of Judge Wiek
ersham. There are many who
have experienced a change of
heart during the pa*t few months.
The arrest of Campbell at
Ruby City for I he murder of the
\elson brothers in the Kusko
kwim country, is another illus
tration of the evil doer returning
to the scene of his crime.
Some people can ligure up the
use of money and dole on the
education of young children. I! is
passing strange that, these $amc
people forget that every mouth
ful of bread lliey cat was taken
away from these selfsame deserv
ing children.
There are "hotIle-scarred jour
nal i-d.-" who have not fattened
on I lie proceeds of (lie crimp
shop; who ha\c not lived >ump
