The little incident of the rescue of
a Japanese flag from burning, done
by an Americau. sailor before a mul
titude of people in the streets of To
kio while there were hundreds of
Japs in the neighborhood xvho did'nt
try to rescue it because they did'nt
think it worth while, will cover a
multitude of our sins in the slant
eyes of the little brown men: will do
more, indeed, to bring these two peo
ples together than a volume of sworn
pledges on parchment. For nations
are composed of men and women and
children, and men and women never
cease to be children. The hearts of
the world will glow over this fool lit
tle incident ? which could not have
happened other than it did. For the
sailor, seeing the flag about to burn,
could not haw helped rushing to its
rescue, flags being so large a part
of his education. But it is just be
cause he could'nt help it. just be
cause of the human fellowship re
vealed therein, that any war which
might have threatened with its mil
lions of treasure spent and the spil
ling of reeking gallons of blood, in
cident thereto, will now be called off
and all be forgiven. Kor this result,
could'nt help doing? this sailor ought
rather than for the deed ? which he
eould'nt help doing ? this sailor
ought to be taken to one side and
decorated.
ORIENTAL SPLENDOR.
It was a great stroke of interna
tional politics that Viscount Kaneko
mailt" when he declared to the of
ficers of Uncle Sam's war ships that
if he ? Uncle Sam ? would do the
business for all concerned the Mik
ado would at once stop building bat
tleships on her own account. Xoth
iiiK could have been finer. It was
to say that Uncle Sam was not to
be feared If he would give his
word for what he would or would not
do. fully armed: that he would be al
lowed to place himself in position
where he COULD over-awe any na
tion. his word being sufficient that
he would not so lake advantage of
his strength. Of course the wise Jap
knows Uncle Sam will not assume
any such responsibility ? not yet.
Hence it follows that Japan must not
be criticised for preparing to take
care of herself ? not against the
United States, mind you. but against
her own yellow kin of the orient ?
that's the inference. It was a fine
stroke. It was worth sending the
fleet over there to hear that. It is a
bit of oriental splendor in flattery.
Forest fires sweeping over the
states of Xew York and Illinois, a
blizzard burying the entire middle
west from Winnipeg on the north to
Denver, tying up transportation lines
over the country and In the cities,
as well as bringing much suffering;
a cloud burst in Oklahoma that
swamped the entire state, causing its
rivers to fill to the brim and over
flow the land, killing many and de
stroying much property. This was
the story of one day told in the de
spatches printed in last evening's Al
askan. It is to be hoped that this
was the complete list but it is not
likely. Of course the fifty-five earth
quake shocks in three days in the
Philippines is not worth mentioning
save as a reminder that on the day
before many of these gentle littl.- in
cidents of daily life down below were
recorded within the boundaries of the
states. And yet you say we have
nothing to he thankful for up here ?
or did you say that? To be sure
there was a beautiful fall of snow on
Wednesday in Skagway that indicat
ed that winter had come but today
the winter is past and spring is here
again and if you search you will prob
ably find strawberries in the garden.
God has blessed our home.
Ton millions distributed every four
nionthe in dividends by the Stand

this company has staunch friends?
