MR. CUE UNO MR. ROOSEVELT AND THE
ROOSEVELT POLICIES
Mr. Cale's complaint agalast the
president It not made quite clear in the
interview published yesterday. But
ibis 1* clear, that Mr. Cale ba? sot
strengthened his position In Waahing
ton by permitting himself to go into
print In this manner.
Mr. Cale Is attorney at Washington
of the pooole of the district of Alaska.
The case o! the people la still in court.
It is at the bands of the president and
of congress that we are to gel what we
want, if we do get It.
If tbe president don't behave Mr
Cale should go the jury, which is con
gress and state his case. To rush into
print, with the case still in oourt, la
merely beating the air and Is very
likely to prejudice our interests. Mr.
Cale 8 -ems to have reference io bis
statement to the questlun of territory
in I government but be doee not make
clear ?hat Mr. Rooeevelt haa been do
ing in the matter to rouse his wrath.
Bat in the general statemen', that
any action Mr. Roosevelt may
take on this question is going to stam
peda the entire papulation of Alaska
against tbe Roosevelt policies, Mr.
Cale Is mistaken and quite miscon
ceives the spirit of Alaska. Tbe large
maj >rltv of us are for tbe Rooaevelt
policies because we believe in the pol
teles, not because they are Roosevelt's.
We are, however, enthusi
astic over them at this time, be
cause we believe that Mr. Roosevelt

it not merely mouthing but t? Id earn
eat in hit advocacy of them; not mere
ly that, either, but that he haa the force
to make food h!a advocacy.
The Alaskan ta pretty warm for ter
ritorial government ? it? readers know
that. But should Mr. Roosevelt refuse
to aeoond ua Id thla matter we shall atlll
be with him In his fight against grait
and tor the Impartial execution of the
.aws, We will go further than thai.
We will aay that were Mr. Roosevelt
died in hi* opposition of territorial
government, and were he rot barred by
hit promise made on the night of bis
election, not to be a candidate for a
third term, tbe Alaskan would be for
Roosevelt before the Chicago conven
tion. It ia thus we state the relative
value In our eyes of the Roosevelt poli
cies la general, aa against our desire
for self-government. la other words,
it ia mors important that those million
aire freebooters down In the states be
made to walk the lice. We want self
government becauae it ia a principle of
American manhoed that we should have
it; but we can afford to wait while the
subversion of Amarican institutions,
the has c principle, now so badly oot of
joint, ia being set right.
In still other words the Alaskan is
willing, if it be necessary, to submit
temporarily to that limitation of liberty
that obtains up here while those else
where who have over much shall have
that ezoess they enjoy trimmtd away.
Go to it Teddy and? only if we have to?
we'll be patient while wo wait? if wt
! have to.
When a man is added to the dead io
the lWt of feud victims Id Kentucky,
the aurvivor must be emitted to aet up
*a ? defenae contributory neglience on
the part fo the other fellow. Too
Slow. That the son* of that country
ahould take dropping th-ir fathers
however, seems to be prca.cg the
lim it % little.

O dear day !
Laughing gut from clouda that now rise
far
As aotne lost aUr
And alip away.
Softly I go where no one aees;
The sun is gold in the topa of the trees,
But tbe leaves underneath still pray, ,
Aod all th?* morning seniles at me, and |
all the birds call aown to mo,
"Greeting, Isolde "
Still through tat dew I pass and pass;
Then gently kneel, lent I hurt tbe
gr-a%
Aod again my Hall Mary say.
Not one least flower of bars can I lay
on her shrine? all wero scarcely
in bud laat night.
Yet, who knows . . .
God haa through my garden quietly
stepped,
While I still slept,
And at a!? a Ro?e.

Humor and Philosophy
DUNCAN M. SMITH
PERT PARAGRAPHS.
It Is really tragical not to be able to
distinguish between n Jolly and an op
portunity.
People who have the artistic temper
ament have been known to make an
entire recovery after thorough and
very present treatment by the big
stick.
As a general thing, we pay a Tery
high price for the prlvllego of being
rude and Impolite.
A man may acknowledge to himself
that he Is a fool, but be Is always sure
that he Is "not that kind."
Truth is mighty, but sometimes she
is prevailed upon by a smooth talker
to divide her empire with sophistry.
It is considered a great breach of
courtesy by a glib promoter to ask
any question that ho would find Incon
venient to answer.

up-to-date toilet preparations
They are as indespensable to health
beauty and happiness as food and it is
