EDITORIAL
IIALY AND THE
SOUTHERN SLAV
iChristiaa Science Monitor)
There is muchj evidence in Italy,
today, cf a growing '.sire to bring
abcut a better feling, and to re
nicve suspicion as betwene the Ital
ian and the so/uthern Slav. Li'tle
nirre thn a year ago, whaf was
tvruie-' the Dalmatian question was
U" ;.utl down, Italy and by. Italians
>u ovUer countries. Daly's claims
to at Itast a substantial share of
Daimati. iu (he event of a victory
D-'ni itia, iu event of a victory for
A.lies, were vigorously oressed,
■ U-' the claims of the southern Slay
i.s vi.i^rousljj decried. There al
ways existed in Italy, however, a
;• oi moderation; u aarty; which
i ^u.zed that the great uuestious
" 't ever came up for settlement,
c. ultl net be setled otherwise than
oj compromise. This party urge
l.,ar the mater be debated' calmly
iVoro the broadest possible point
of view. It contended that the
. . claims of the Southern Slav,
:.i sni-'i matters as an outlet for
uis in.-U* on the Adriatic should
!>.- r.i.rl. aud fully considered.
This party has, it \vould seem,
boc-u steadily gaining ground, aud
on •> ijuite recently, the Italian
■M.n iii-r, of State, Sigiior Bisso-lati,
t.x>i cccasion to declare, through1
'hi Koris -Matin, that the. policy
c;' Italy was one of reproachment
wi• France on »he cue hand and
• he southern Slav on the oth$r.
In. fear is sometimes expressed
ab ;>ad, he said, that I'aly will
no* recognize the aerations of
the iouthem Slavs, but the Italian
race has suffered to much from op
pression itself to w isih to opDress
anybedy. "We will not act in Buxjh
u way- as to cause the formation of
aii irredentist movement against
ourselves. "We have a great and
liearlj defined task to perform on
'a? eastern side of the Adriatic,
and «.ait of it will be thrown op
en tc the door of commerce to the
southeri Slav, and place him in
commuuicatioin wiffci the West. Italy
seeks to be known in the Balkans
as an educatin factor, and not as a
dominatin power.
Tuose wlio are best acquaint
ed with, the posi'ion in Europe, hot
before and since the outbreak of
'lie present war, are least inclined
to attempt any anticipation as to
how matters will shape themselves,
'tir'forially or otherwise, oo the
conclusion of peace. There is, how
ever, it can scarcely be doubted, a
value in considering and giving
"rorainenca to such professions of
oo! icy as those ust indicated. The
formation of a strong putblia opla
ioi in favor of certain righteous
v'ews, whatever the ou'come, can
not fail of good; result. That the
st athern Slay should have access
to the sea, and should have an op
p-rt unify of living at peace with! his
neighbors, is a proposition that will
anneal *0 many as only common
justice, in ivhatever way jt is view
Canada has passed a measure pro
vidicg fOT a fine of $5000 and two

In compliance with, the^wiahes of
Delegate James Wickersham express*
ed a short time ago, says the
Juneau Dispatch, Emery; Valentine
has recommended' for appointment
at the United! Stapes naval academy
Raymond L. Johnson, nowj attend
ing the Juneau Highj School.
The young man is 18 yaers old
and was bom in! Juneau. Hia moth
er died several years ago, and his
father is living in. Taooma. He
has been raised by; his aunt, Mrs.
.Lockiee MoKinnon, and1 Ms appoint
ment meets with! general approval
of *11 who know him.
Prof. Henderson, of the Juneau
public schools, upon 1 earing of the
apoointment, complimented Mr. Val
en tine upon, the selection he had
made, stating that in hid studies
and deportment and other! personal
traits, *oa young man. had proved
his worth for taking the competi
tive examinations.
When informed of the honor,
young Johnson, was about the hap
oies' individual in Junaeu. H§ im
mediately went to Dr. Dawes and
found that he waa physically fit;
then visited Dr. Simpson, the eye
specialist, and found that he could
see cut of boht eyes without the
handicap of a stignatarism, or
whatever it is called, audi oroibably
wheu he reached Lome and no one
waa looking, he executed a few
hack-flop, hand-springs}
Anyway, in his exuberance of
Jo-, '* if saidi that he hugged his
aun* and slapped Lockie McKinno*i
on the shoulders and said, "Old
Scour, from now on you just watch|
mv tr&il smoke, and one of these
days you will be saluting me as
Rear-Admiral Raymond L. Johnson.
I-eav? it to me to pu* the map of
Juneau on the pages o£ history."
j All joking aside, the appointment
is on ehtat is deservgin in every re
sD-ct. Mr. Johnson will soon leave
[for Annapolis to prepare for the
competitive®! examination. It may
also bo stated that he is a cousin
of Simnson MoKinnon, who was ap
pointed some time ago and who is
no-" at Annapolis preparing for the
examination. Thus Juneau will
have two taking part in the com
petitive examinations.
ALASKA GOLD SEASON GOOD
The season's output of gold in
'he Nome, Alaska, district will ex
ceei $3,000,000 this year, accord
in? to Jafet Liudefcerg, tlhe mine
operator of Nome. "We had a
good atason at Nome this year,"
said Mr. Lindeberg, "and I am sure
the clesn-up will exceed any of
the lag* tUree years. We have
found a depoeit of tungsten whJclB
apparently is present in considerabl
quantities "Valdez Prospector.

NAMES FOR WARSHIPS.
National Peculiarities Displayed In
Choice of Vessels' Titles.
One of the ways nationalities have
of displaying their peculiarities Is In
the naming of their battleships. The
United States, systematic and business
like, goes to work an4 uses up all the
names of its states to paint on the
sides of its greyhounds of the sea.
Great Britain, self appointed mistress
of the waves, does not propose to have
that majesty challenged. So she goes
ahead and defies the world with such
hair raising names as Kevenge, Indom
itable, Inflexible, Invincible, Implaca
ble, Indefatigable, Victorious, Glory,
Vengeance, Valiant, Conqueror, Mon
arch, Thunderer, Colossus, Hercules,
Jupiter, Mars, Caesar, Hannibal, Lion,
Tiger, and so on.
Germany adheres to names of places
—places in the fatherland, of course
thus proclaiming the characteristic na
tional love of the home country.
France, full of love for freedom and
the things which make for human hap
piness, finds her most characteristic
warship names In words which trans
lated would be Truth, Justice, Democ
racy, Republic.
Italy, adorer of her great men in
statesmanship, war, science and the
arts, names war boats after Columbus,
Julius Caesar, Andrea Dorla, Conte dl
Cavour, Leonardo da Vlncl and Dante
AJlghierL
To be convinced that these customs
of christening are peculiarly national
one needs only to shuttle some of these
names. Imagine us In America stand
ing for a battleship named Indefatiga
ble! Or imagine the name of "Sweet
est Shakespeare" emblazoned on the
prow of one of England's glowering
fortresses of the sea!—St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
GRADES IN PRISON.
Sorting the Convicts In the Kamai
State Penitentiary.
Every prisoner who enters the Kan
sas state penitentiary at Lansing, Kan.,
la started as a first grade prisoner, but
some become second graders within a
few minutes after their arrival. When
they are put in the second grade class
they are deprived of ali privileges and
have to remain In their cells and work
all the time. If a prisoner stays a
second grader until the expiration of
his sentence be probably loses all the
good time allowed him.
There are three common methods of
punishment at Lansing. One Is the
"deprive" form, in which the prisoner
Isn't allowed any real Sunday dinner.
It Is imposed for slight insubordina
tion, such as impudence and swearing.
The second is "lock and deprive,"
whereby the inmate Is locked up In
his cell except at meal times. It is
Imposed upon men who refuse to do
the work assigned them.
The third Is the "jail." The "Jail" is
a large, ventilated room, but the only
thing that can be seen from it Is the
sky. Prisoners who steal from other
Inmates, lie, fight or commit other se
rious offenses are sent there. The
prison physician calls on the prisoners
in "jail" daily, and the guards bring
them food. The offenders have to stay
In the room all the time.
When the prisoners repent and re
deem themselves they are restored as
"first graders" and allowed all the
privileges again.—Kansas City Star.
Government Whitewash.
Government whitewash is made by
slacking half a bushel of lime In boil
ing water, keeping It covered during
the process; then strain and add a peck
of salt dissolved in warm water, three
pounds of ground rice put in boiling
water and boiled to a thin paste, oue
half pound of Spanish whiting and n
pound of clear glue dissolved in warm
water. Mix these well together and
let the mixture stand for several days.
Keep the wash thus prepared in a ket
tle or portable furnace and when using
have it as hot as possible.—Philadel
phia Press.
The Tyrolese.
Ton may find the artistic tempera
ment among the peasants in the vil
lages of Bavarian Tyrol. They talk
still of the King Ludwig, who lavished
money on palaces and died an Insane
suicide and murderer. You remind
them that they are still paying off the
debts of the mad king. They reply
cheerfully that they are glad of it, for
Ludwig loved music and gave us Wag
ner.—London Chronicle.
Eskimo Beliefs.
Eskimos believe that earth and air
are filled with spirits. The one drags
men into the earth by the feet, from
which they neser emerge, the other
strikes men dead, leaving no mark.
They often stop and listen and say
that Tuna of the wind is passing by.
Imagining that the air Is full of voices.
His Great Scheme.
"I have solved the crowded car prob
lem!" exclaimed the jubilant street
railway man.
"How?"
"We'll put a phonograph in each car
and keep it playing 'The Star Spangled
Banner.' Then everybody'll have to
stand up."—Washington Star.
Our Near Neighbors.
Mother—Don't you know, darling,
tftat we ar* commanded to love our
neighbors? Little One—Yes, an' I
s'pose that's 'cause we can get along
with most everybody else.—Exchange.
Dome of the Capitol.
The original dome of the capitol in
Washington was made of wood, cov
ered with copper.
Both man and woman kind belie
their nature when they are not kind.—
Bailey.
