HOGGATT HOMEWARD WENDS
HIS WEARY WAY

On April .".th Gov. Wllford U. Ilog
i*att was politely informed by the De
partment of the Interior at Washing
t< n, D. C., that his room was uior<- ;
liesireable than his company anil that,
it would be well for Inin to Journey '
homeward, and leave the business of
national legislation to those who are
elected to do it.
Sadly Hoggatt took his departure
i:oui tile national theater of politics
here he has so Ions played a pro
tiinent part; slowly he is coming
homeward, not with joy iu his heart,:
l>ui with the internal tires of chagrin |
guawing at his bosom.
His departure from Washington was
i rdered April ."?th: today he reached
s?an Francisco. At this rate of pro- !
i,ress our geuial governor should bi
ultli his loyal subjects about May l"
We are waiting him anxiously.
Perhaps Hoggatt*s own reluctance j
to return is accounted for by the fact j
that he does not anticipate a partic
i larly warm welcome from the "gam
blers and saloon element," who con
stitute about TS per cent of Alaska's
voters according to the Governor's
own statements.
MISSIONARY WORK
The massacre of several American
missionaries in Turkey is in itself,
ueplorable. but it serves to remind
us of the indubitable fact that these
men and women would not be killed 1
it they had been at work where they
really belong ? at home and not a
bioad.
It is an open question if foreign
missionaries have not accomplished
quite as much harm as good. They >
attempt to convert to Christianity J
luces who have been born and bred
to different religious ideals for cen
turies. On paper they accomplish
tuany conversions; in reality it is
liTdly probable that they make on<
teal Christian out of a hundred con
verts. In most cases the so called
Christianity of Turkish. African or
Chinese converts is hardly skin deep.
The missionaries breed strife.for a
variance in religious belief is certain
'o lead to trouble. Again most native
r^ces arc happier and just as well off
with their own peculiar religion, be
it Huddisia, Confucionisui or Moham-j
medanism. Religion is a matter ot
evolution and it is folly to try to
Miove a white man's religion into a
black or yellow race.
Invariable massacres have marked
the progress of the missionary in
China, Africa, Turkey and among our
own Indians. Other tangible results
art few.
On the other haud among llie slums
in our great cities there is a great
field for social settlement and mis
sionary work, and the work will have
gcod resu'ts If one half of the mon
ey that is being w.isted on foreign i
missions were spent at home every- i
body concerned would be better off. )
Six days thou shalt do thy work.j
and on the seventh day thou shalt
rest: that thine cx and thine assi
may rest, nr.d the son of thy hand j
maid and the stranger may be re-|
freshed. ? Exodus, Chapter 22 ? 12
It's a safe bet that Roosevelt has
a sincere longing for the simple life I
after the succession of banquets that
have been given him while he was)
enroute for Africa.
There is something organically J
wrong with the man. woman or child j
who does not feel the "Joy of life" !
after four such days as we have hail
tnis past week.

Thread by thread the strands we twist
Till they bind our nook and wrist.
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must untwine ore five we stand.
As we budded, stone by stone.
We must toll unhelpod. alone.
Till the wall Is overthrown.
But. remember, asi we try'
Lighter every test goes by.
Wading in. the stream grows deep ?
Toward the center's downward sweep;
Backward turn, each step ashore
Shallower Is than that before.
Ah. the precious years we waste
Leveling what we raised In haste.
Doing what must bo undone
Ere content or love be won.
First across the eulf wo fast
Kite borne thread* till lines are passed.

Ah you did that habit make.

As you yielded now refuse.
