ABOUT POLITICAL LEADER
SHIP AND POSSIBILITIES
In the movement of the people to
take charge of government in the
United States, national, state and mu-j
nicipal, and to whip the_bosses and'ma
chines into their kennels, the republi
can and the democratic parties each
have one great national leader. The
republican party has Theodore Roose
yelt, and the democratic William Jen
nings Bryan. Kach of the parties have
many leaders who, by reason of their
local battles have become national
characters and who are amply capable
of becoming leaders of nation-wide
movements, but as yet the great tri
bunes of the people who hold the strat
egic positions in the national political
situation are these two men.
The question as to how the political
upheaval, which is yet in its incipient
stages, will affect the two great politi
cal parties depends very largely
upon whom the party organizations
mey choose in the forthcoming contests
to command the battle. If the repub
licans shall follow Senators Aldrich,
Elkins, Spooner and Foraker, Speaker
Cannon, the New York machine, etc.,
rather than the president, or if they
should make a palpable compromise,
and the democrats should accept as
their leaders Bryan, Folk, Jerome,
Tom Johnson, Gov. Montague and oth
ers of their kind, the republican party
may|be overwhelmed in the elections
next year and in 1903. If, on the other
hand, the republicans accept the ur
trammelled leadership of President
Roosevelt they will, in all probability,
win natiional elections for some years
1
to come.
This, of course, is b.ised upon the as
sumption that the democratic and re
publican!] parties will remain intact,
which is by no means assured. It is
not a: all unlikely that there will be a
practidal reorganization of jolitical
parties before another presidential
election shall take place, and that the
reform leaders of both of the great par
ties will be working side by side before
that time.
The recommendation of the grand
jury that vaults be provided for the
offices of the United States commis
sioner and the deputy clerk of the dis
trict court at Skagway. is to the point.
These records aro of incalculable value
to the people at the north end of Lynn
canal. Their des:ruction would cause
irreparable loss. This] recommenda
tion of the grand jury should be acted
upon without delay.
Telegraphic dispatches say President
Roosevelt has promised to urge con
gress to grant single statehood to Okla
homa and Indian territory. The term
"single statehood" means the union of
the two territories and their admission
into the Union as one state.
Fred Wisemen, formerly d:;>uty mar
shal at Haines, was one of ih doputy
marshals who assisted in the recapture
of Hendrickson, the lone highwayman
of the blue parka, who terrorize! Fail
banks for so long a time
With the temperance vote solidly
against him and the liquor vote divided
it is not a wonder that Gov. Herrlck, of
Ohio, was defeated for re-election.
fORTBFMEN
Mental Capacity of Women
Is Inferior
The new woman was at a discount at I
the Skagway public school debate
yesterday. TLe.following resolution was
the subject of a lively discussion that
brought into question the relative abili
ties of men and womw:
"Resolved that the mental capacity
of women. is as great as that of men."
The bebaters for the affirmative were
Miss Viola Myrick and Miss Mina
Sowerby. Miss Emma Boone, Miss
Ethel Waste and Miss Sophia Rull
championed the cause of the stronger
sex, and they succeeded in convincing
two of the three judges that the
superior strength of man applied to his
mental capacity as well as to his
physic. The judges were: Rev. N. B.
Harrison, Prof. J. T. Lee and Mrs, H.
| H. Draper.
An interesting literary and musical
program followed the debate. It in
cluded recitations by Miss Ida Dillon,
Miss Virginia Stivers and Miss Alma
McBrien: piano solos by .Miss Edith
Dunn, Miss Eva Wildt and Miss Fay
StineDaugh, and a vocal solo by Miss
Myrick.
The program 'next Friday will con
sis: of an impromtu discussion upon a
subject is be assigned at the time.

MR. and MRS. HOLLAND'S
FLIRTATIONS
[Original.]
Harry Holland was an all roam!
good fellow. He loved Ills wife nni:
their two little children devotedly, bu!
dlfl not hesitate to risk his and theli '
happiness by what he considered harm
less affairs with women. Clara, hi* j
wife, was one of nature's peeresses,
and every one who know the couple i
wondered how Hollaud could be even ;
amused with other women. Neverthe
less he would get up an affair with i
some creature who had neither brains
nor principle and whose beauty was
often entirely "made up." Clara pre
tended not to uotlec these freaks, fully
appreciating what it was to start even
the slightest breach between her hits
baud and herself. Was not his, hei
and their children's happiness all at
stake? She argued that every man
has his weakness, and this was the
only weakness of which her husband
was guilty. "My wife is a sensible
woman." Harry would say to bis luti
mate friends. "She knows it's a man's
nature to rove, and It's a woman's na
ture to be true to one man. She's tho
angel of the household."
So lung as Harry flitted from one
flower to another? some of them win
and paint? there was no great harm
done, But at last a woman got hold of
him who kept him danciug attendance
jpon her so long and so constantly
that the affair became the town talk
Then rumor began to undermine Mrs
Holland's good name. "You see how
it Is," said thinking persons; "one slu
leads to another. Clan Holland has
been at last affected by her husband's
want of principle. TU ;y won't hang
together long. What a <>ity for the
children!"
Harry didn't exactly like the situa
tion aud cautioned his 'rife. She did
not say, "Cense your attentions to othet
women and I'll eense accepting favors
from other meu." She simply said,
"Oh, Harry, we don't either of us mean
anything by It f* This was not satis
factory to Harry. For th>* tirst time he
began to think his wlfo was not tbo
angel of the household after all. He
began to think of the terrible results
that might accrue from his wife's con
duct. What if bis family should be
broken up, his children separated from
him? It would be the woman's fault
but that would not mend matters. One
would suppose he would begin to set
matters right by devoting himself to
his home and letting other women
alone. But the charmer who at the
time held possession of him was not
Inclined to give him up.
One morning as he was going In to
breakfast the postman called, aud IXol
land took the mall from him. dancing
over the letters, he saw one addressed
to him In a woman's hand that he did
not reeoguize. He thrust It in his
pocket aud after breakfa'it, while read
ing his paper In the lihrvy, opeiKxl it
tt read:
Keep (in eyo on your wlfr. She Is pic
turing to skip out with C. i'
Holland sat so long in the library that
his wife at last came In and asked him
why be delayed going downtown, a>
usual. When he looked up at her it
was with an agonized expression.
"What's the matter, Harry?" she
ashed.
He handed her the note. She read It
toolly and handed it back to him.
"Well?" he said.
"Well," she repeated, "of course the
game's up."
"What do you mean?"
1 mean that tl.is farce may as weL
?nd sow as at any time, We are b .tt
more Interested tu othei-9 than In our
home and our children. Vet why should
I do as that note Indicates aud ui.ikc
the scandal all the worse? \'ou,_ being
u man, can commit some flagrant act
that will give me my legal freedom,
and I can marry again, whereas if 1
run away with another man while I
im your wife our children will be dis
graced."
Holland looked at his wife stunned.
She went on:
"Dou't blame me for this. I was
happy with you and our dear little
ones, who must now suffi-r. but you ed
ucated me with your theory that great
license should be given the husband
and father, aud from thlj I grew to as-,
sume equal liberty for the wife aud
mother. You might huve kept a steady
course for the children's sake if not for
mine."
Uer voice trembled and tears started
to her eyes.
"Tell me," he gasped, "Clara, have
yon done anything criminal'/"
Bhe stood with her back turned to
him without a reply. He fell back In
Ills chair. She turned and saw an ashen
pallor, eyes glaring at vacancy, every
evidence of a mental torture which If It
could be transformed to the body
would have delighted an Apache In
dian. She turned her eyes appealingly
toward a portiere screening the adjoin
ing room. Alice Ilollaud, Harry's sis
ter, brushed aside the curtains and
stepped Into the room.
"Harry," she said to her surprised
brother, "I wrote that letter for Clara
and made her promise me she would
not undeceive you after this Interview
till I should give her the word. She Is
lis pure and Innocent as a little child
I advised her some time ago to hegi
the- preliminaries that have led up I
this lesson. If it Is not enough to uiak
you mend your ways the next one wil
be very different and Irrevocable."
The man's face Indicated the change
occurring within him as he listened to
the words. When they were finished
he took his wife In his arms. Then at
AJice Holland's beck their children
bounded In from the adjoining room
and were Included In their parents' em
brace.
narry .Holland needed no further les
ion. HOPE HOPKINS.
