WISDOM FROM ABOVE.
The Great Father whose throne Is
in Washington has made a mlssionary
t.ilk ubou Alaska at long range. The
president is said to be the best in
formed man on Alaska in public life,
barring the few who have been in the
territory and made a study of it. If
this is true it justifies the suspicion
that Washington hasn't made a min
ute scrutiny of the territory. No
body supposed that the administration
and congress take much time off to
bother about Alaska. They have
c" er business to look after and Alas
ka would not wonder at neglect if
government mandarins wouldn't
claim to know it all whenever they
do casually glance this way.
President Taft seems to think
Alaska lies just beyond the Philip
pines .He ran the eastern archipelago
with a commission for a while until
he felt that the bronze population
could appreciate a kindergarten legis
lature and he persuaded congress to
let them have one. In his view Al
aska has not reached that stage of
development and a commission looks
to him like a good fit for the ter
ritory.
The press dispatches do not make
it 'ear Just what kind of territorial
government in Alaska the president
opposes. It already has everything
that goes with an organized territory
excep* a legislature and county
organizations. Nobody has been
heard to favor division into counties
a' his time. Nine-tenths of the peo
ple favor a local legislature because
they believe that such a legislature,
made up of just such indifferent
material as the average state legisla
ture, can legislate for Alaska more
wisely than a commission of eastern
politicians who need the salary. They
hope some day to convince congress
that this is so.
In the meantime it is useless to
become excited and make an unseem
ly fuss, because the cards are stacked.
Some day governmental wisdom will
learn that Alaska is quite as civilized
as the Philippines. Until then let us
keep on shouting for the old flag and
an appropriation. The more appro
priations the better They always
come in handy ? Valdez Prospector
Two gatemen at the Seattle A.-Y.-P
were suspected of "holding out" and
as a result President Chllberg dis
charged every gateman at the expo
sition, thus stigmatizing them all as
- thieves. President Roosevelt took a
somewhat similar action In the
Brownsville affair when he disgraced
an entire regiment of troops to pun
ish a few men. This wholesale meth
od of convicting many honest men to
reach a few crooks will never be pop
ular In this country.
THE WELCOME MAN.
There's a man In the world who is
never turned down, wherever he
chances to stray; he gets the glad
band in the populous ?own, or out
where the farmer makes hay; he's
greeted with pleasure on deserts of
sand, and deep in the aisles of the
woods; wherever he goes there's the
welcoming hand? he's The Man Who
Delivers The Goods. The failures of
life sit around and complain; the gods
haven't treated them white; they've
lost their umbrellas whenever there's
rain, and they havn't their lanterns
at night; men tire of the failures who
fill with their sighs the air of their
own neighborhoods: there's one who
Is greeted with love-lighted eyes ?
he's The Man Who Delivers The
Goods. One fellow is lazy, and watch
es the clock, and waits for the whistle
to blow; and one has a hammer, with
which he will knock, and one tells a '
story of woe; and one, if requested
U travel a mile, will measure the
perches and rods; but one does his
stunt with a whistle or smile ? he's
The Man Who Delivers The Goods.
One man is afraid he'll labor too
hard? the world Isn't yearning
for such; and one is always alert, on
his guard, lest he put in a minute
loo much; and one has a grouch or
a temper that's bad, and ono is u
creature of moods; so it's hey for for
tho joyous and rollicking lad? for the
One Who Delivers The Goods! ? Walt
Mason.
Monday was the forty-second birth
day of Alaska under the government
of the United States. Pew coun
tries can show so much development
for so few years ? and Alaska Is but
in her merest infancy .
Joe Cannon denounces the Insurg
ents and defends the tariff. "Tils is
a boost for the Iusurgents and a
condemnation of the tariff, coming
rom old Standpat Joe.
I loathe it, I would not live al
way; let me alone; for my days are
vanity. ? Job. 7-15.
To him nothing is possible who is
always dreaming of his past possibili
ties. ? Carlyle .
The color question as personified
by Jack Johnson is still serious.
