WILLIAM HENRY SEWARD
Today is the lOSth anniversary of
William Henry Seward, that eminent
statesman and patriot who, more than
anyone else, was responsible for the
purchase of Alaska by the United
States from Russia in 1867.
Seward was secretary of state in
1807. Russia wished to withdraw her
colonies from Alaska, and Seward,
with unusual far sighted ness, foresaw
tte day when Alaska might be of
great value to the United States. Pro
bably Seward did not dream of the
undiscovered resources of the country
but he had traveled In the western
states and knew that it was not a
barren waste.
The purchase of Alaska met with
bi'ter opposition at the time and
many senators and congressmen de
rided the Idea and said that the $7.
200,000, the purchase price, might as
well be thrown away. That original
S7.'.;00,000 has doubled itself many
times in the 42 years that Alaska
has been a part and parcel of the Un
ited States. How many more times
it will be doubled can hardly bo
hazarded.
The memory of Seword will be al
ways kept greeu In this northern
country. In the purchase of Alaska
he merely made a good Investment
for the United States government;
but he was in Lis official career, one
of the biggest and best of the Am
erican statesmen.
DREAMS AND GRUB
1 wandered o'er the sunlit lea, and
gathered roses as I went, and all the
wild birds sang to me, and filled me.
with a sweet content; my neighbor,
of a grosser mould, toiled in the field
the whole day long, lured ever on by
lust for gold, and blind to Beauty,
deaf to Song. I lay beside the sob
bing stream, all through the golden
s- miner day. and journeyed on a nia^
ic dream to fairy regions far away;
the sky was blue, the day was hot ?
as hot as ever weather was; and still
my neighbor sternly wrought, and
hoed his beans without a pause. Alas,
the days of June were gone; I heard
the voice of winter rave, and shiver
ed in the arctic dawn, and wept for
summers in their grave; ray empty
cupboard brought to mind my sordid
neighbor's bounteous store, and so 1
dared the shrieking wind, and got a
huudout at his door. ? Walt Mason.
Nothing enobles a person more
than work. Without work man can
not preserve his human dignity.
That is why idle people are so anx
ious about their outward greatness.
They know that without this setting
they would be despised by all.
If you would not work, humiliate
yourself or use violence. ? Count Tol
stoi.
Servants have ruled over us: there
is none that doth deliver us out of
their hands. ? Ezekiel, Chapter 5 ? S.
Alaska needs home rule.
THE PLOW.
ACOTTNTRY Ufa Is sweet
In moderate cold and heat.
To walk tn the air how pleM
l ant and fair.
In every Held of wheat!
The fairest of flowers adorning the bow
ers
And every meadow's brow.
So that I say no courtier may
Compare with them who clothe In gray
And follow the useful plow.
Tbey rise with the morning lark
And labor till almost dark;
Then, folding their sheep, they hasten to
sleep.
While every pleasant park
Next morning Is ringing with birds that
are alnglnx
On each grten. tender bough.
With what content and merriment
Their days are spent whose minds are
bent
To follow the useful plow!
