SOMETHING TO CONTEMPLATE
There Is a phase in the character of
Washington, whose birthday was cele
brated yesterday, demonstrated in bis
life history, that it would be well for
certain people in Alska to contemplate
with much seriousness.
When, in resentment of an attempt
to govern them without their consent,
the Colonial farmers of New England,
untrained and unlearned in the art of
war, and crudely armed, joined issues
on the field of battle with the well
equipped, thoroughly practiced and
much experienced soldiery of the most
powerful nation in the world, Wash
ington was the wealthiest man in
America, and his interests were in a
section of the continent far removed
from the scene of confiict. His wealth,
education, training and social standing
were those of an aristocrat. Had he said J
the word, there was position and power
for him with King George and those
who would rule Americans from with
out. His material interests and those
of his close associates cried eloud
against being subjected to the uncer
tainties and probable burdens of a gov
ernment directed by the untried wis
dom of the masses.
But Washington considered nothing
except the call of duty, and to him
duty called where those principles of
government, that Anglo Saxon history
had demonstrated to be true and right,
were being outraged. The danger to
himself and the probable cost counted
for naught. His comfort, his property,
his social position, his life belonged to
the people and their right to work out
their own destiny in their own way
through self-government.
There was no selfishness in Washing
ton. There was no desire to ''stand
in." There was not the slightest tinge
of "yellow" anywhere. He stood for
right and truth without a single
"string" to the standing.
That is what made the",father of his
country great, and that is why his ex
ample has made the American people
rich ? very, very rich
NO FORCED MARRIAGE
The bill which passed the national
house of representatives to force the
marriage of Arizona and New Mexico
acd to admit them to the union as one
slate will not pass the senate. The
other day when Senator Beveredge.who
has charge of the bill, requested that
there be an earl; rote on it, Senator
Foraker, who has charge of the oppo
sition for the insurgents amooc 'he re
Publicans. promptly agreed to the prop
osition, and challenged Bevertdge to
permit a vote that minute. Beveredge
declined, when Foraker said: "Let
U3 vote tomorrow, the nest day, the
day following or some day next week.
You name it, and we will be ready for
the count." Senator Beveredge back
ed water then and wou'd not himself
agree to that which he had urped upon
the opposition.
Every democratic vote will be cast
against the bill, or for amendments, to
be offered by Senator Foraker. which
will kill it. It will require only 13 re
publicans to defeat it. Sixteen have
agreed to stand with Senator Foraker
and six more are doubtful. Some of
them will oppose it.
The republican senators who will op
pose the house bill without question
are as follows:
Foraker, Perkins, Flint, Carter, Bur
rows, Alger, McCumber, Heyburn,
Piatt, Fulton, Elkins, Gal inger, Scott,
Clark, of Wyoming: Warren and Bur*
kett.
The amendment which Senator For
aker will propose, for which at least
the 16 republicans named and all
the democrats will vote, is one that
will permit the people of each territory
to vote upon the question of union and
providing that unless the voters of
each territory favor the proposition, it
will fall to the ground. Such *n amend
ment would kill the bill, because it is
known that the people of Arizona,
certainly, and those of New Mexico,
probably, are opposed to it.
John Riplinger. republican nominee
for mayor of Seattle, has practically de
clared for municipal ownership and for
the initiative and referendum. He
very emphatically sa\ s he favors an or
derly and decent town, and that Seattle
will take no backward step should he
become mayor. He leaves very little
for Judge Moore, the municipal owner
ship candidate, to itand upon.
