Vri.U'KS O.N THE DELEGATE
How small certain editors and
ot er folks who have been, kicking
i f tiie roof about the shortcomings
oi* the delegate, must ieel when
'iia geuial Judge Wiokersham come
to towu and overlooks all their at
tacks and spends his tim« consider
ing 'hings ox" real imi»ortance to Al
aska.
Wickt :^ham li -s receivedi column
of knocks by some papers in Alas
ka tiie reason, being his enemies
have had a hard time to make out
.. case and therefore build uj> onfl
on many words.
Were they able to j>oint in one
t-mashing sentence to some wrong
that the delegate has inflicted up
on the iwvie of Alaska there
\.oi:lJ be no need for further com
meut.
As it is, the delegate ha® been
f . hting an uphill battle, having
to educate the nation, as it we re,
»j »he needs of his constituents
and then secure legislation from a
bedj- in which, he has no vote, in
st'i'e of the seekers af;ep special
privilege.—Seward Post.
WILL PROVE FEEDER
Apparently both th«| American
and Cauadian governments arts in
terested ia providing feasible au
tome tile read from the mouth of
Taku *o tlie Atiiu district. Old
timers have known for yeans that
this route is the best for reaching
Atliu and surrounding, country
which is rich in mining and other
r«v-ources. Tlie Taku river val
ley forms a natural cleft for a
roadwaj from the coast to the in
'ericr where a roadway could, he
maintained at a minimum cost. As
a trade artery to Jueau it would
i>roie ci great value. Moreover,
its sctnic at'ractions alone, would
attract heat? summer traffic. Then,
agalr:, there is good land along the
routi, for farms, and an easy meth
od would be provided where sports
men cculd easily reach; the big
garre conn', v o" the Canadian wilds
from Juneau in a short time and at
a nominal expense.—Dispatch.
HARMONY* IS CHEAP
How many of us ever stop* to
tal: k how inexpensive harmony is?
How many of us ever stop to
♦hi: k how pleasant this old/ world
woui1 l>e if we purchased harmony
which, practically costs nothing in
stead of discord that i3 bo ex
pensive? "U'e dare say very few
of ur- ever think of that, and. most
of 119 gc on with, either a grouch
or a chlr on our shoulders ready
for a scrap or a knock any old
time. As a matter of fact some
of us delight in being contrary;
ju«' to diaulay our cussadness.—Pro
giessivc-iliner.
THE PARTY FOR SERVICE
There is an old Indian saying
4 old men for council and.' young
men for war.."- That very forcibly
applies to the Republican] .pa*ty,
-which is the party for public ser
vice. In most instances men of
mature age and judgment sit in the
high councils of the party. Very
s'ldom are young and: untried men
found holding re ponsibl^ public cf
ficea The jounj; Ujeu must work
♦heir way u® fro® th§| ranis nud
give a practical demonstration; oi
fitness loit holding office bet'ory
they; arg intrusted with,' beaivy offi
cial burdens. Only M rendering- $t
Mcien*. public service can, 0, party
maintain ami peffftetuate itself an4
therefore it is Tital to the party's
beet Interests tq select itg officers
with the ffroatst car®,
ABOUT as terribly a, thing* as
we ever knew o<f in) the; line of
grafting is tha~selling oX on-eTs vote.
That ought to bq one p£ the most
sacrtd thinga wq hajve. The fe«l
lot i» all that stands between, us
and national ruin. Whenl thfi fran
chise, and' especially thcj franchise
of the heme owner becomes coinrupt,
tb*re Is danger that the) bottom
may drop out of American] institu
tions, It is a great thing to, vote,
but »he greatest thln^ off all Is* to
vote right just as ona believeu h«r
ough* to vote, and not as sorieibady
elsH wants him to( vote. The man
who gives away- hia vot$ doew not
vote himself. He gives som§ oth
er man a chance to) vote twice—a
ri^ht 110 law ever meant any one to
have, ■ '• |
CHARTING THE GREAT LAKES.
Unci* Sam Has a Steady Job In These
Periloua Water*.
Summer after summer the fleet of
the lake survey Bails the broad ex
panse of the Ave lakes and the score
of bays and Inlets searching for dan
ger spots that may claim their heavy
toll of human life and vessel tonnage.
Since 1S41 the United States govern
ment has been silently carrying on
this work, a herculean fight against
the Jagged rtof and the unseen shoal
that menace navigation. Sounding
lines have been plunged into black
depths of 95,000 square miles of water,
and still today there are areas that
have not been charted in which pass
ing barks may founder.
Probably no frequented waterways
(n the world are so hazardous as the
great lakes. At no time Is a steam
er on them more than a comparative
ly few hours from shore and period
ically fierce storms arise, fully as
violent as those experienced on the
ocean which play with the steel ships,
battering them helplessly about threat
ening to engulf or sweep them ashore.
Over $5,000,000 has been spent by
the government since 1S41 for the
prosecution of the work of charting
the lakes. Locked in heavy timbered
boxes, protected from fire in immense
vaults in the old postoffice building. De
troit, are over 1,300 field charts, dating
back to ISIS, when a survey of Lake
Erie was made by officers of the Brit
ish navy. With few exceptions the
maps are the result of the scientific re
searches of United States officers and
surveyors.—New York Sun.
Some People Never Satisfied.
We lived for awhile In a Korean
bome, eating Korean rice, pickles and
seaweed, padding about in stocking
feet, sitting on our heels in lieu of
chairs, sleeping on stone floors -with
our heads resting (?) on the customary
pine blocks which the Koieans much
prefer to pillows. But we had these
experiences only when we deliberately
sought them. The orient is the orient
de luxe to those who wish it so.—Chris
tian Herald.
Railways In Shakeapeare'a Time.
An American lady at Stratford on
Avon showed even more than the usu
al American enthusiasm and fervor.
She had not recovered when she reach
ed the railway station, for she remark
ed to a friend as they walked on the
platform, "To think that it was from
this very platform the Immortal bard
would depart whenever he Journeyed
to town."
Inquisitive. 5T1
Her Mother—My little srfrl must-al
ways be sunuy tempered and goodj.ua
tured.
Little Elsie—Say. mamma, how old i
do I have to be l>efore I can be mean,'
cross and spiteful?—Boston Globe.
Having Fun In New York.
"Did you have a good time In New
York?"
"Great! We paid $5 each for $2 seats
for a show that wasn't worth 50
cents."—St Louts Globe-Democrat
Guaranteed.
Sparke —So you've bought n car,
O'Brien? Well. It won't take two
months for the novelty to wear off.
Barke—Well, If It does the agent
must replace It—he guaranteed every
thing for a year.—Washington Star.
