THE ELECTIONS
The most notable feature of yester- ,
jay's elections is the accentuation of
the fact that the American people are
freeing themselves from the octopus of
partvism. The phenominal vote Riven
William R. Hearst, on the ticket of a
newly created municipal party, for
mayor of New York, the great showing
made by William Travers^Jerome, in
his independent candidacy for district
attorney of the same city, the clean
sweep made lythe election of there
form ticket in Philadelphia, the elec
tion for the fourth time of Tom L.
Johnson, for mayor of Cleveland, the
third victory for Schmitz In San Fran
cisco. the election of John M. Pattison,
for governor of Ohio, and many other
things indicate that party ties have not
the saire effect on people that they once
had.
Probably the greatest surprise of the
day is the election of the democratic
candidate for governor In Ohio. It was
known that the tight of the temperance
people against Gov. Herrick would be
apparent in the returns. Particularly
was that evident when it becomi
known that the efforts to unite the
liquor interests against him were ouly
ptrtly effective. It was known alsc
that there is a terribly bitter factional
fight in Ohio between the administra
tion foices under the leadership of Sec
retary Taft and the opposition under
Senator Foraker. However, it wa3 not
thought the overwhelming republican
majority could be overcome. That it
was indicates a predilection to inde
pendent voting.
The result in New York was not sur
prising. The re-election of McClellac
was a foregone conclusion until a few
days before the balloting when the en
thusiasm for Hearst and municipal re
form alarmed the Tammany tiger.
The great vote for Hearst indicates
how well founded was that fear.
The defeat of Jerome for district at
tornev, while probably the most re
gretable event of the day. should cause
no surprise. He was strongly op
posed Hy the forces behind the two lead
ing mayoralty candidates. That be
made the great race he did was due to ^
Independent action by the people.
The re-election of Tom L. Johnson in
Cleveland refutes the charge that re
form movements always lack continu
ity. The people of the - best governed
city in the United St*tes" seem to
know when they are well off. i
Probably the most pleasureable inci
dent in the election was the part p'ayed ,
by Philadelphia in sustaining its re- '
form mayor and in administering a cas- j
tigation to the worst municipal ma- ^
chine that has been exposed in a long i
time. . ,
j"
Later? Ueturns received since the ,
foregoing wis placed in type show j
Jerome to have been elected district
attorney in New York county
The other day the Daily Alaskan
said the resolution favoring norae rule
for Ireland, whuh passed tile Austral- ,
ian house of representatives, failed to
pass the senate of that country by g ;
vote of 11 to 16. This information was
secured from a Pf ;ific coast paper but
was an error. As a matter of fact the
senate voted 16 to 11 In favor of home
rule for the EmeraM isle.
The general naval board at Washing
ton has recommended the coostrection of
three new battleships larger thaa'a-ry
warships that arc now atlja'. u It a'io
favors the construction of a great num
ber of torpedo boars It is belie veil the
president will endorse the recommenda
tions in his annual message to con
gress.

nounce that Mine. Nordica will socn

The dispatches tell us that the beef
;rust Has secured' control of the tan
ning industry in the United Stated and
ihat it will advance the price of leather
in such a sum that an increase in
the of cost of shoes will necessarily
follow. It is even suggested that the
trust is considering the advisability of
sontrolling the manufacture of the
sheaper grados of shoes.
Juneau has elected delegates to the
Seattle convention and it is believed
Douglas will follow suit in a day or two.
Southeastern Alaska will probably
have a strong delegation there after
all.
4FIER COAL
Many Claimants for Carbon
iferous Deposits
There are 67 applications now on file
in the land office at Juneau for coal
lands in the vicinity of Kyak and Ca
tella, according to P. M. Mullen, re
ceiver of public moneys at that office.
While all the applications are from in
dividual claimants, it is known that
most of them are members of what Is
known as the Cunningham syndicate.
It is claimed that they have opened
many veins from 40 to 60 feet in width
and that the mines are ready for opera
tion as soon as wharf and railroad shall
have been built.
The Cunningham syndicate takes its
name from Clarence Cunningham, of
W allace, Idaho. Among the members
are Charles Swetney, the Spokane min
ing man. Finch & Campbell, the Taco
ma contractors, and others.
All th. se 67 applicants are prepared
to make final proofs, and pay for their
property.
Mr, Mullen says there are very few
homstead applications.
QUALITY
An Essential Thing ill Sil
yerware
Quality Is what you should stand out
for when buying silverware or silver
plate. Silver means silver here and
everything in plated ware is the best of
its kind. Good taste, beauty and use
fulness were never seen in stronger
combination than in the new patterns
we are showing in silverware. All
sorts of tableware, single pieces and
sets, at prices as low as fine, heavy
durable plate can be sold for.

In i'lmca of Peace
In the first months of the Russia-Japan
war we had a striking example of the
necessity for preparation and the earlv
advantage of those who, so to speak,
"have shingled their roofs in dry weath
er." The virtue of preparation has
made his'orv acd given to us our great
sst men. The individual as well as the
tiation should be prepired forany emer

THE CHEEKFUL MAN.

"Kate Itself has to concede a greal
many things to the cheerful man."
The man who persistently faces the
suu so that all shadows fall behind
him, the man who keeps his machinery
well lubricated with love and Rood
cheer, can withstand I lie hard jolts
and disappointment'1 of life ijillnltely
better than the mail who always looks
it the dark side. The man who loves
shadow, who dwells forever in the
gloom? a pessimistic man? has very lit
tle power In the world as compared
tvHli a bright, sunny soul.
The world makes way for the cheer
ful man; all doors fly open to hint who
radiates sunshine. He does not need
an introduction; like tho sunlight, ho
Is welcome everywhere.
A cheerful disposition is not only n
power? it is also a great health tonic.
A depressed mind makes the system
more susceptible to disease; encourages
Its development beciu.-e it kills the
power of resistance. A cheerful soul
con resist disease, and It Is well known
among physicians that there is a great
er chance of recovery from exhaustive
diseases of a bright, sunny soul than
of a gloomy, despondent one. "Cheer
fulness is health; melancholy, disease."
Olooai and depression feed disease and
hasten Its development.? Success.

and we then begin to "age." Now, we
can train this organ, It appears, to

(iweloy a Hfelons Farmer.
"I would have been a farmer hat'
any science of farming been known to
those among whom my early boyhood
was passed," Horace Greeley wrote in
1868. "Farming as understood nnd
practiced by those among whom 1
grew up was a work for oxen, and for
we the life of an ox had no charms."
And In temperament Horace Greeley
was a farmer all his life. lie was
born on a poor little farm in New
Hampshire, and his childhood ex
periences of the vocation were those
of terribly hard work and a meager
living as Its reward. It Is no wonder
that printing seemed more promising to
him.? Oliver Bronson Cnpen In Coun

When Professor Jacob Cooper of Rut

Yale in 1852 Tutor Talcott said to Mr.
Cooper, "How much Greek have you
read?" "Over 3,000 pages," was the
reply. "You don't mean that, do you?"
paid" Mr. Talcott. "Isn't It 3.0C0 lines?'
"No, sir," was the reply. "When I saj
pages, I mean pages." In later life he
declared that if all the Hebrew Bibles
in the world were destroyed he could
