livery ouce In a while wo hear a
lot of thoughtless sympathy express
ed for someoue who has not been
"outside" for ten or fifteen years.
We haven't the statistics with us.
hut it is a safe wager that _ not
sixty per cent of tho people of the
stales, especially the oastorn states,
h:tvt> ever been a thousand tulles
from tho place of their birth ? and
It takt? a thousand mile Jauut to go
front Skagway to the uearcst state.
Wo hare known poople, you all
know them, who hare never been
outside of their townships, yet they
are not looked upon with commis
eration. Thousands uever get out
side of (heir states and hundreds
loutlnually dwell within their coun
ties, and find pleasure and content
ment there.
Instead of looking elsewhere for
pleasure, the true believers will
find it ~I1 about them. The hap
piest people on earth are tho busy
oaett. The persons who are en
gaged in doing something, do not
require a lot of Japanese latnerns
and torch light processions to fill up
their Uvea. The mopers are the
discontented. Diversion la a health
ful and splendid thing, but a contin
ual round 'of pleasure loaves the
soul withered aud the capacities
blank.
The only newspaper man in Al
aska that said auything about wit
nessing the recent eclipse was
the editor of tho Seward Gateway.
1 iie eclipse occurred at two o'clock
in the morning.
Tho evident disposition of the
.'?laska Legislature to pass a strin
gent white slave law Is pleasing
to good citizens. The people of the
Un.ted" States have set the seal
of tholr disapproval on the traffic
? u human beings. They have doter
ined to put an end to the business
of selling women. Those lowest of
l-umans, the procurers and the mon
who live from tho profits of woman's
shame, must so. That it is the
purpose of the Alaska Legislature
to put Alaska in line with the other
state; and territories that are mak
ing this fight for decency is plain,
aud It will merit the praise that
it will rtcelve for doing its" duty. ?

Art an Aid to Business
By HARRISON S. MORRI$. U. S. Commissioner to the In
ternational Art Exposition at Rome In 1011
fOR THE MERE EQUIPMENT OF A BUSINESS LIFE ART IS
NOT A BAD FOUNDATION. THE STUDENT LEARNS EX
ACTITUDE AND PATIENCE AND ADHERENCE TO FORMU
LAS AS THEY ARE REFLECTED IN NATURE. AND, MORE
OVER. THE ABILITY OF HARD OUTLINES OF BUSINESS WITH THE
SWEETER COLORS OF ART WILL BE FOUND NOT ONLY A MEN
TAL AND PHYSICAL BENEFIT A3 YEARS BRING THEIR WEIGHT
OF DUTY. BUT THE POWER THAT FLOWS FROM THE KNOWL
EDGE OF ART AND ITS PRINCIPLES WILL BE OWNED BY ANY
ONE WHO HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH MEN.
"KNOWLEDGE IS POWER." A little knowledge is not a dan
gerous thing. It was a dangerous tiling to tyrants and oppressors to
those who wanted to monopolize rights that bolongtd to the ignorant.
As long as tho people could be kept ignorant, so long would usurped
authority last. Thus the so called "ruling claw" invented the motto,
"A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS A DANGEROUS THING,"
because even a little knowledge frees the mind from dcpendenco on
others. We are free, just in tho degree that we know.
Art is really OUR PLAYMATE and handmaiden if we go
cheerfully along with her.
Newspaper Reflects the Reader
By Dr. TALCOTT WILLIAMS. Director School of Journalism.
Columbia University
CHE newspaper is a human agency. Like all human agencies,
it IIAS I I'S LIMITATIONS. It has its relations and af
fairs that limit it, just as men have relations and affairs that
limit them. It it part of the great web of social life, and that
is why it is valuable.
Every day of the year every newspaper prints news, opinions and
appeals of which many men related to it iu the business world disap
prove.
IT IS THE READERS THAT COUNT. AND. AFTER ALL. A NEWS
PAPER IS WHAT ITS READERS MAKE IT. IT IS THE KIND OF
NEWSPAPER IT IS BECAUSE THAT IS THE KIND THE PEO ?LE
WHO BUY IT LIKE.
Tho newspaper account is FAR more accurate than the ave. ige
word that passes from mouth to mouth among men. In the main, the
neu -paper is far more truthful than the community it represents, uid
as for righteousness the newspaper is BETTER THAN THE j V
OF ITS COMMUNITY.
