ALISKAKS READY TO ACT
A philosopher of much wisdom once
said that "God helps those who help
themselves," and the people of Alaska
are awakening to the necessity of lay
ing the suggestion to their hearts.
Never before has their been such a de
mand for action on the part of the peo
ple. The press of the southeast, the
northwest, the Interior and of the
westward are saying, "let us act."'
Senators Patterson, Fulton and other
senators and Representatives Sulzer,
Lacey and other members of the lower
house of congress are ready to stand on
the floors of congress and fight real bat
tles for us. It is our duty to uphold
their hands ani make them the leaders
of Alaska's cause. If we do not do this
the milk and water leadership of cer
tain western congressmen and the Seat
tle chamber of commerce, which is
always ready to compromise our rights
away before the battle begins, will as
ser. Itaalf.
The people of Alaska are beginning
to realize the significance of the situa
tion and from all over the district there
is going up a demand that the entire
district shall be represented at the con
vention when it shall have met at Seat
tle. If Alaska shall be as completely
represented at that convention as it
now appears it will be there will be an
opening of Seattle eyes. Many of the
professional Alaska servers will learn
how little they have understood the
real sentiment of the people they have
pretended to represent.
The people of Alaska are getting
tired of being lead by those who are
not of them and by self-seeking Judases.
They are about tfl_aaseri.
While the green eyed monster
often plays important parts io
the gatte of politics as well as in
ln?e it is not likely that the recent
apparently friendly conference at Oys
ter Bay when Senator Lodge seemed to
be taken back into the good graces of
President Roosevelt was responsible
for Senator Foraker's attack on the ad
ministration policies. Senator Foraker
has never in Jthe past permitted even
jealousy to interfere with his fight for
political preferment.
Major A. V. R. SDyder, of Wrangell,
having been appointed T*nited States
court commissioner for that place, has
retired from active control of the
Wrangell Sentinel. His son, George
C. L. Snyder, succeeds him. The latter
promises to continue the paper along
the broad lines followed by it under the
management of his father.
It has been said that "he who hath
not music in his soul is fit for treason,
?trategems and spoils." That will
hardly agree with the popular idea of
President Roosevelt, yet it ts said that
he knows but three tunes. He only re
cently learned to distinguish the "Star
Spangled Banner." (when played by a
band.
Who is this man Hamilton, that is
touring Alaska as the official guide of
Mr. Churchill?? Juneau Dispatch.
Why, he is the man who, according
to the Nome Nugget, refers to citizens
of this northland as "Alaskan skunks."

At Commencement!
(Original.]
The decennial meeting of my class at
college was a very enjoyable affair.
Having been out In the world ten
years, we bad had some experience
and were still young. At th? banquet,
held at a place where other class din
ners were in progress at the same time,
we exchanged experiences, and it came
out that every man had been at least
reasonably successful.
When I bad had enough of the speak
ing, In order to escape the heat and air
laden with tobacco smoke I went out
on to a balcony. The only seat was by
a window opening Into a small room
where sat four venerable men at din
ner. I could not help overhearing
what they said and soon became deeply
interested. I made out that they were
graduates celebrating the fiftieth an
niversary of their graduation. It was
not long before I had all their names.
They were Alcott, Bates, Ovlatt and
Wells. They were telling their experi
ences.
"My life," said Alcott, "has been one
succession of failures. As you all re
member, I was graduated one of the
lowest men In our class."
"That's because you wouldn't study.
You might have been one of the first,"
said Bates.
"At any rate, I stood low. I found a
Job at reporting and slaved along, try
ing to make a decent living and rise
to something better. But whenever a
man was wanted foi a first class p-wl
tlon some one else was chosen. I did
some scribbling and occasionally hit
off something that pleased my friends,
but not the public or the publishers,
which brings the same result. In my
old age I am still scribbling and for
small pay."
The next man's ex[>erlence was that
of Bates. "I was a good man at talk
ing in a crowd while In college and,
as you remember, was the orator on
class day. Soon after getting out Into
the world I drifted Into politics. Most
of my life has been spent In congress.
I was supposed to represent the people
of ray district. That was all bosh. I
represented the political boss. There
were certain perquisites to my office
that enabled me to accumulate some
money, but I was obliged to dlvldo
with the boss, and he finally wanted
the lion's share. Then I announced
that I would retire. I went out of of
fice with a fine send ofT. I should have
been sent to? but I'm getting too con
fidential. I wish, Tom Alcott. I had
your record. It Is at least clean."
"Come, doctor," said Wells, "It's
your turn next."
"My record." said the doctor, "Is
worse than Bates'. On graduating I
chose medicine for a profession. At
that time we doctors knew very little,
comparatively, and worked In the
dark. I had a streak of bad luck that
would have consigned me to expulsion
from the profession had it not been for
a plausible, sympathetic way I had
with me that especlaly caught the wo
men. By dint of overcharging the rich
I managed to make a few fees every
year that gave me a living, but It's
only lately since some new discoveries
In medicine have beeu made that I can
say my fees have been honestly
earned."
"Well, boys," said Wells, "I suppose
It's up to me to Rive you the worst
failure of the lot. I have no right to be
here, for, as you know, I was rusticat
ed three times and shortly before grad
uation was fired by the faculty for
general cussedness. If I had known
these confessions would be in order I
would have stayed away. However,
mean as I am, I'm not mean enough
to let you fellows do all the confess
ing. I made up my mind to get rich,
and I have got rich. And how have I
done it? It would take a volume to
tell all of the mean things I've done.
I began by trying to get things for less
than they were worth and to sell them
for more than they were worth. I
Jewed everybody down to starvation
prices for what I bought, irrespective
of their necessities or the value of
their wares. By this means I rose
steadily until I organized my own
company to do business and elected
myself president I soon saw that If I
didn't kill off competition, competition
would kill me. The consequence is
that I've ruined everybody that has
sought to succeed in my line except a
few who are now with me in the trust.
That's my record, and if you can find
a meaner one I'd like to know It"
Soon after the confessions were all
in the old men broke up from their last
class meeting, and I went back to the
banquet room of my own class in a
very thoughtful condition. Commence
ment took place the next day, and
among the oldest graduates I found a
man who was in college with the men
whose confessions I had overheard, and
I asked him if he knew them. -
"Know them! Of course I do! I
knew them in college, and know them
now. Bates represented his district in
congress for thirty years and was an
honor to his country. Dr. Oviatt stands
very high In his profession and would
have been rich had he not spent the
most of his time attending the poor
with no pay. Wells is one of the most
prominent business men in the country,
and his success is only equaled by his
munificence. Alcott is the only one
who has not accomplished much at
earning money, but he is truly artis
tic, and true art Is unremuuerative.
Alcott has written some beautiful
things, but they are all too refined for
the public taste. There are not four
better men in the world than Alcott,
Bates, Oviatt and Wells."
What meant the discrepancy of these
two views? Were the men who had
made confessions right, or was their
standing in the community as they de
served? I leave the problem to be
solved by better minds than mine.
