HOW WILL WE Dt) IT?
A party of two hundred young
I iit.-. representing the Eastern and
MiiM to western sections of the Uu
i»e<l states, are to be our guests
this summer. 1X> you not think it
..d\i^:l>!e Xor soaie sort of a pro
gram to be arranged for their en
tri! ii ;ment? Hera is a chanoe for
the Commercial Club to get Into
communication with the agency
. >o .soring this expedition and place
befor. tUeai the advantages of
cirr civ and the fact that we will
offer cur services, in a reasonable
way, fur their entertainment.
A good send off given this jolly
set cf yung peple will go a long
way toward bringing before the
various sections of the United
Siatis our metropolis. Tho hospi
tality that exists in our city can
::ct Ke equaled in any city in this
territory. Ail that we need to do
is »o iafonn them that we are
ready ;.:.d willing ti> J>e sponsors
iur a good time iu this city during
th< ir sojourn here. Parhape it
would be advisable to arrange for
an educational series of lectures or
ixj.editions for their eulightm&nt
of A'aska. We have the material,
the men and the willingness to
off.. war service—all that is need
ed, is to set the wheels »' locomo
tion running condition.
IIS If TO YOU
Mr Votur, on April the fourth,
you will in called upon to express
>o:ir opiiikw, at the polls, whether
or ot ycu think a change is neces
sary in the method of electing city
officials. What have you done to
inl.' m yourself of the conditions as
t!if txist? Is our present system
antiquated? Would a change altar
th conditions that now exist?
From the present status of a£
fai.< \,ry few citizens have even
t ikeu ihe trouble to go 'lirough the
m. >ary prerequisites for eligi
bility to express their choice :|t the
i oils. Only seventy five out of a
\ i. population of two hundred
:J venty four have registered.
Yoli-'j is a duty which every citi
;:eu owes to It is city, society and
uimseif. Without your assistance
v never can hope to make munici

| ment of, by and for the people—
but h?w can. that neucleua for popu
lar government be exorcteed, un
less you, as an Individual, take up
on vaursclf the duty and. carry it
to completion, which ia your just
share la maintaining this arm of
the governmental powers which i3
granted you.
' During that long period of
"watchful waiting" It would have
been an excellent idea to have pre
pared a little mora for what every
one foresaw was sure *o come to
past;, sooner or later.
PITH AND POINT.
The wages of sin are always prompt

How much easier It ia to avoid debt

advice tban to make them use it..

No one knows how lonK it will take,
but they're lighting it out ou the same

| Men who fail—tJie fellows who are
always there with an argument and a
reason why not.
The Kreat trouble with the man who
gets there with both feet is that ho
thinks the world is tils dournmf.

THOUGHT FX>R THE DAY
There may sometimes be a ques
tion whether we should tell the
truth to others who cannot see it
or understand it; there can he
no question at all that we should
tell it to ourselves. And when, a
man has loarned to toll the trutn
to himself, the problem of telling
it to others becomes comparative
ly simple.—President Hadley, Yale
