SOME REFLECTIONS UPON THE INFLU
ENCE Of WEAK NEIGHBORS AND THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POWDER AND
OPIUM ? AND OTHER THINGS
A few days ago the Alaskan remark
ed that "China will never be happy un
til she has had it out to a finish with
Japan, but she should hare waited until
she was ready, if she was not ready.'' It
soeim about the right thing to do to re*
peat that? not that it make* much dif
ference one way or the other. The hu
miliating spectacle which the Mongo
lian allowed hisaelf to star in on Satur
day?the vast, unweildy, pipe-dreaming
Moniro'.ian? would be one of the won
ders of the time if there had not been
so roanv such spectacles recently in
that quarter, extending as far west as
St. Petersburg. It only gives rise to
the thought that nations? the great
nations of the earth? are nothing more
than the men at the head of them?
which is to fay they are nothing more
than individuals after all. Here is a
nation which ha-> so many millions of
population that at the time of its first
encounter with Japan the world fairly
shuddered for the little fellow, declar
ing that China cou'd sacrifice man for
man until the Japanese were extinct
ar. 1 the los-> would hardly be noted in
the provinces of China We know
what happened and the world had a
ri^ht 'o think that China would not
have so soon forgotten. With such
neighbors whereby to judge the metal
of the world we can the better under
-'.ard where Japan gets the right to be
?o c city as to be objectionable to white
people? forgetting for the moment
the color of Uussia.

Thr- F re net which at a receDt date
was so srreatly on the nerved of the rest
of the worM that when the nearby na
tions looked up at Iter col lossal form,
c'ad in regimentals, they trembled and
often recalled that the better part of
valor w?? to run? the French have, or
had, a way of putting powder in their
coffee cn the eve of battle instead of
sugar. It is not to laugh, ei'her. It
wa* ist this sort of thin); that enabled
the French to walk so persistently to
ward victory Not, if China will take
note of thai fact, will rebuild that old
wall of h< rs and get behind it for safe
keeping for a few years while she cures
hei>elf of the opium babit by loading
her pipes with powder, wt shall have a
belter report to make of hor? one way
or anothar.
An 1 for ourselves, we must remera
b: :\ recalling the thought a few lines
above this, as to nations being nothing
more than individuals, that in our case,
when we had one Jimmy Buchanan at
Washington we came very nearly go
ing to pieces: but when we replaced
him with the large stature of Mr. Lin
coln we straightway found our verta
bra. Ard now that we have Mr.
Eloosevelt we, every man of us, feel that
we cou'd eat the Standard Oil any day
for lunch. And the best p*rt of It is
that, so feeling, we can.
MARSHAL SHOUP
That Marshal Sboup should be re
appointed is only the hnppeniDg of the
expected. Marshal Shouo his held the
marshalship of the first district a long
time-so many years that most of us
have forgot. en the number? and th^
duties of that office have been faith
fully performed, cleanly and to the sat
isfaction of every man. A federal
officer in Alaska who has not been crit
icised for cause is one to keep in place.
Some of the thinking along political or
ecoconrc lines that Marshal Shoupdoes,
the Alaskan may not agree with, but
that he is a clean, capab'e and honest
official, perfectly sincere in his think
ing, everyboJy in the district knows
and it is pleasing that Mr. Roosevelt
understands It.
There seems to be a great difference
betwoea a sentence and a supersedeas?
whatever that is? according to the
workings of the two as witnessed in the
c?ae of John R Walsh, former million
aire ? perhaps still millionaire? of Chi
chago, convicted of bank wrecking
through illegal methods. The sentence
followed the conviction, properly
enough, and this would have landed
Walsh in the penitentiary for live years
where the jury, who heard ihe testi
mony, thought ho belonged. But the
supersedeas ? whatever that is?
which immediately followed, granted
him bis liberty immediately and indef
initely. It is very strange.
Mr. Cale cries enough. Very well
it ia no discredit for a man to have
tastes and to listen to them if they are
good. Mr, Cale hears the call of the
wild.
IN THE OPEN
Here's what I love? the blue sky above
And the wide clear space,
The mounting plain, the guiding rein,
The wind in my face.
To ride and ride, where the land
spreads wide,
To the darkening hills,
In a splendid race to the open place
And the life that fills.
To ride and to rest on the hill's high
crest,
Under open sky:
And to sleep without fear, where the
stars are near
And God close by.

HEWEIT ADVERTISING ALASKA
Frank Hewitt, the popular enter
tainer, writes to Dr. L. S. Keller from
Seattle to say that he is prep wing to
start on his Alaskan tour, and will ap
pear here in May with all new pictures
and new acts. He says he is, with his
talented family, playing all the towns
along the coast and to standing room
only, without exception. He says he i?
booming Alaska "for all it is worth,
and personally has talked nuny people
into going to that country. In doing
so," he says, "I feel confident I am
bettering their condition, and it is a
pleasure for me to advertise the great
north."
The following clipping from a news
paper enclosed with the letter, is evi
dence of the effect of the Hewitt show
as an advertiser of Alaska.
"The movine pictures were appreciat*
ed by everyone, and are the best ever
seen here. The picture entitled "A
trip through Alaska" is a marvelous
picture and will prove a strong adver
tising medium for the great Alasks
Yukon exposition, alto summar touri^is
will be enticed to visit Alaska and Yu
kon when once they realize the beauties
of this country. You take one of the
Pacific Coast steamers City of Seattle,
Humboldt or Cottage City, which car
ries you up the sound past and among
magnificent scenery fri>m Seattle to
Skagway. Then on the White Pass
railroad to Whitehorse and their boats
to D?wson, where you take the North
ern Commercial company's boats from
Dawson to Nome, These pictures give
a fine idea of what is known as the 'in
side passage.'] which is the mo.?t popu
lar route for touri.-ts, owing to the scen
ery and the delightful climate. "
DON'T MENTION IT, MY BOY
Whitehorse Star: Howard Carey,
the young man known as ".Missouri,"
who was sent from this place to the
Tenakee, Alaska, hot springs by the
people of Whitehorse three weeks ago,
was most liberally treated by parties at
Skagway to whom he carried letters of
introduction, among them being Land
lord Runner, of the Fifth Avenue hotel,
and Dr. F. C. Norman. The la'ter doc
tored the v?une man for a week free of
/
charge, obtained medicine for him at
Britt's at cost, and had "Missouri" on
bi9 feet and walking ouite well before
allowing him to proceed on to the
springs. During all that time the in
valid w?s given free lodging, board and
every attention at the Fifth Avenue
hotel.
Such klndre's on the part of the
Skagwav people is greatly appreciated
by the Whitehorse people, nearly all of
whom contributed toward sending the
young man away for treatment.
The Fifth Avenue hotel has unlimite
accomodations. Steam he*t and every
thing modern.

Try the Cuticura Remedies.
CURED BY CUTICURA
AT EXPENSE OF 75c.
"My little boy in the Spring of 1001. when
only an Infant of three months, caught th?
Cuban Itch from one of my neighbor's babies.
oort's uruhc wuk iiuui
bis head to the bot
tom of his ;feet. Ha
would itch and claw
himself and cry all
the time. He could
not sleepday or night.
I had to wheel him In
-his carriage most all
the while to keep him
still. He could not
bear to have his cloth
ing touch htm, and
only a light dress U
all he could wear. 1
can't begin to speak
in words the suffering
the poor child had to
endure. 1 called one
of our best doctors to
treat him, and he said
he had the Cuban
Itch, and his treat
ment did not do any
good. He seemed to
set worse. Ho suf
fered so terribly that
tnv ihusband said ha
believed he would
have to die. 1 had
almost given ud ho do
when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura
Remedies. She said she cured her little girl's
ear. which was nearly eaten up with the
eczema, I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and
one box Cuticura Ointment, and I washed
hirn all over with the Cuticura Soap and
applied the Cuticura Ointment and heat onco
fell into a sleep, and he slept with ease for
the first time sinco two months. When he
awoke I applied It again, and It gave him
much ease, and after three applications the
sores began to dry up and improvement began
to show, and in a few days the hide from tho
bottom of his feet and inside of his hands
began to peel off. I only used one cake Cuti
cura Soap and one box Cuticura Ointment to
complete the cure of the dreadful disease, and
in Just two weeks from the day I commenced
to une the Cuticura Remedies my baby was
entirely well. Tho treatment only cost me
75c., and I would have gladly paid $100 if I
could not have got it any cheaper. I feel safe
in saying that tne Cuticura Remedies saved
his life. Ho Is now a boy of five years, and
Is as well as anv child you ever saw. Mrs.
