GERMANY W1XS AGAIN
If German arms were unable to conquer the Entente forces and Ger
many bad to swallow the bitter pill of defeat, she has had no little consola
tion since the end of the tight in rolling the apple of discord among the al
l.es. Step by step she lias succeeded in w,uuing delays and changes un
til now it looks as though she would have two years in which a Moritorlum
would be declared. She has—one is inclined to say—purposely decreased
the value of the Mark that greater confusion might result. She has plead
poverty, inability, every possible excuse and has gotten away with it; so
li.ut today she appears as the victor in the diplomatic game, with her ene
mies almost at enmity. Just where the onus of blame for this condition
lies it is hard to say, but there is little question that French hatred aud
fear are signal factors in producing this result So determined is France
to wreak vengeance that her hatred, probably more than any other factor,
has produced, if not sympathy at least support, for Germany in the most
unexpected channels. There is a manifest lack of unity and firmness in
dealing with Germany which will probably reduce very materially the rep
arations it was intended she should pay.
FOR POPl'LAR VOTE OX PRESIDENT
The movement has started for the election of the President and vice
President by Popular vote. Senator Xorrls hi.s presented a resolution in
wh.ch this idea is embod.ed. There will be opposition from both pa.' las
to the question and there will be men in both parties favoring the ques
tion. Twice in the history of the country, the Democrats have had a Pop
ular majority vote for President aud the Electoral vote placed a Republi
can President in the chair. Once in 1S76, when Hayes ran behind Til
tien by 250.935 votes, yet received a majority vole of one in the electoral
college; again in 1SS8, Grover Cleveland had a majority of 62.6S3 inthe
popular vote, yet Harrison had 233 of the electorial college to Cleveland's
1S8 With a slight support from the Republican side it would appear that
the question would be carried and the fight for the change be on. It will
be remembered tl.at the opposition to the election of U. S. Senators was
\ery strong, but the benefits by most are considered sufficient to warrant
the change as Senators are more responsive to the will of the people when
elected by direct vote than Wi.en elected by the State legislature. The move
ment appears to be in the direction of popular vote rather than away from
It.

"Doctors and ministers hold one thought in common." says Dr. Cope
land. New York senator-elect. "They cannot understand why the average
man is so indifferent to his preparation for the future."
The doctor worries because his silly patients won't take care of their
bodies and the minister worries because bis silly parishioners won't take
tare of their souls, when both agree that health of body and soul is mostly
a matter of taking thought, anc the rules are plain.
And that isn't all. "If the individual is indifferent to the things
having to do with his own happiness." adds Dr. Copeland, "what can be
expected of nations, which are simply great groups of individuals?"
What. Indeed? Since national purposes are far le?s clear than those
of individuals, and the more people, the harder it is to agree. So we
blunder and blunder, as individuals and nations, merely "muddling thru,"
except for occasional great moments of insight and clear purpose.
But even so. the muddling isn't all waste effort. It is by their mis
takes that people and nations learn. Democratic people insist therefore
on the rigbt to make their own mistakes, instead of being saved from
tl.em by paternal government.
The only trouble is that the process takes so long. As Lord Byron
said. "We live to learn, yet slowly learn to live." Man's greatest enemy
lb his own indifference.—Selected.
LOL1S SCOTT KELLER
When Dr. L. S. Keller breathed his last in Seattle a few days ago, Al
aska lost one of her best ai.d most patriotic citizens and. Skagway lost a
resilient who has stood by ler through prosperity and adversity for more
than twenty-Hire years.
For more than fourteen years Dr. Keller was owner and publisher of
the Daily Alaskan and, while he made mistakes—as all newspaper men are
bound to do—when he came to cast up life's balance sheet its showing .vas
very largely in his favor.
Without Dr. Keller Skagway will not be Skagway to hundreds of olil
timers who have known both for a quarter of a century and the writer is
one of those oldtimers. He wa0 our personal and intimate friend and as
such we esteemed and will miss him.
And to Mrs. Keller, the little woman who lived only for her husband
and her home. true, loyal and untiring, we extend tha. sympathy aud con
dolence which words can not express but which she will understand as
fully as though clothed In faultln»s diction.—Stroller's Weel 'j.

Christmas Eue
in the Kitchen
Copyright. 1911, W»«iern N«w»pap«r union
By ELEANOR E. KING.
N THE kitchen of an apart
ment building In the city
was seated a large, husky
man with a little girl of
about seven, on one knee,
aud a bo; of perhaps six, on the other
knee.
"But grandpa, I don't s»e why Santa
Claus doesn't come," said little Doris.
"We have waited so long out here In
this old kitchen."
At this. Master Fred laboriously
climbed down from his grandpa's knee
and ran over to the kitchen door, and
then to the window.
"Isn't it disgusting, grandpa? I
can't even see him coiulng."
"Well, yon know," said grandpa, as
Fred climbed £ack upon his knee,
"Santa Claus was a little boy once
himself, aud he knows how impa
tient little boys are. He has a hard
time, though. Every year h# has
more boys and girls to bring toys to
than he had the year before."
"Bnt grandpa," sai l Doris, "I never
knew Santa Claus v js ever a little
boy."
"Oh, yes," asserted grandpa firmly.
"Once upon a time a group of fairies
were playing
around In mi
open place under
some trees nnrt
they found l
little baby asleep.
Tliey took the
bahy to their
queen. The fair
ies loved the little
baby, so they
becsed the queen
to let them keep
him and take
care of him. The
queen consented
and the little boy
'Clans' thrived un
der the care of
the fairies."
"S-h-li! Grand
pa. I think he's coinmlng, interrupted
Kred as he attain ol Imbed down
and ran to the window. "Nothing
doing." he said with much disgust and
gave a signal with his arm like the
flagman does when telling a train to
go.
Grandpa obeyed the signal and con
tinued: "He lived under the cure nf
the fairies until he grew to be quite
a man. Then the queen ordered her
fairy workmen to build 'Clans' a hut
as he was a mortal and could not live
the way the fulries did. any longer.
'Claus had lots of thue when he got
Into his new home and he occupied It
by carving things. The fairies had
taught him how to whittle and he be
gan making all sorts of toys.
"There was a village some distance
from his but and every time he heard
of a little boy or girl down In the
village who whs sick, he took them
one of his little toys. The children
grew to like him ever so much. After
a while he became acquainted with
so many children that he found It
hard to get around and see them all
so often. He decided that he would
work all year making toys, and then
go around and find out which of the
children had been good, and leave
them presents.
"When the fairies heard of this
plan they were delighted and cave
Santa Claus four
reindeer and a
Med 10 help him
out
"After man y
year* of this hard
work Santa Clans
r>eran to show
that he was grow
lUK old. The
fairies realized
that Santa Claus
was a mortal ami
would die, S"
they—"
"Santa Claus
has coma," some i
one shouted from
the front room.
"Hurry and
finish, grandpu.
What did they do?" gueried l>»ris '
nervously.
"They gave Santa Claus everlasting ]
life so that he cotiUi make little chil- '
dren happv always." finished grandpa, j
"Oh, I am so glad," said both of the I
kiddies.
"Now, to see what Santa brought,"
said grandpa, and all three mude *
rush for the parlor.
