CONGRESS HAS ADJOURNED.
Tlu> second session of the Sixtieth
congress of the I'nlted States has ad
journed after a ninety day session
without passim; any legislation of pai
ticular ben. -lit to the people and with
out rede ?mm;; one of the preselection
pit Uses of the Republican party. The
chief work of the last session was a
Litter embroligo with President Uoose*
veltand the granting the usual appro
priation bills ? only they were a trifle
larger all arouud.
President Taft has called a special
session of congress which will con
vene March 13. The revision of the
tariff will be the principal order of
business, it is to be hoped that con
gress will make reasonable and radi
cal changes in our preseut tariff.
In the meantime the Republican
party is pleugtd 10 me passage of the
parcels post and postal savings banks
bills and a better system of currency
circulation. There is also need for
laws prohibiting child labor and regu
lating gambling in stocks and market
commodities.
The next congress can make a re
cord for itself, or it can Idly fritter
ite time away. Bui the people of the
I'nited States are slowly awakening
to the dlrelection of some of our na
tional representatives, and one by one
the weeding out process is going on.
It is not too much to hope that some
day this country will have represen
tatives who will really represent.
THE JUNEAU RECORD.
There would be more sympathy a
inong the press of Alaska because of
the fire which destroyed the office of
The Daily Record of Juneau if that
paper bore a different character. It
is owned, however by a, cl.que of weal
thy stockholders, among whom is Gov
llogKatt, and has always been used to
farther the particular interests of
these men. It has always opposed
-home rule and other policies for the
betterment of Alaska. Its course has
been one of abuse and misrepresent
ation and it habitually publishes de
liberate and malicious falsehoods,
when by so doing it can farther its
own ends. Sympathy under these
conditions would be hypocritical.
The Valdcx prospector, which was
recently burned out. is Issuing a one
page three column paper. It will be
back its normal size by March l.V
Editor Kichi" is showing a spirit that
will never be downed.
Congress has adjourned and the
baseball season has commenced. The
newspapers always have something of
Interest to print.
Blizzards continue to rage in the
? astern states while southeastern Al
aska is eojojine blue skies and balmy
zepbers.
"Honor thy father and thy moth
er."
Alaska needs home rule.
LAUGH A LITTLE BIT.
HERE'S a motto Just your flt:
l-augh a little bit.
When you think you're trou
ble hit
Laugh a little bit.
Look misfortune In the face.
Brave the beldam's rude grlmac*.
Ten to one 'twill yield Its place
If you have the wit and grit
Just to laugh a little bit.
Cherish 'his as sacred writ.
Laugh a little bit.
Keep It with you. sample It.
Laugh a little bit.
Little Ills will sure betide you.
Fortune may not sit beside you.
Men may knock and fame deride r?u.
But you'll mind them not a whit
If yxi laugh a little bit.
