THE WORLD DO MOVE
At the best our outlook is limited.
Times and conditions make the sum
ot nunum know ledge seem, paltry, in
deeu. The follow ins speech wiu>
uiaue before the I'niled States Senate
la 1M4 by L>auivl Webster in oppos
i:iou to purchasing lands 011 the pac
ific coast. Could Webster have Uvea
to see Uit$ change!
"What do wo want of the vast,
v ortiilcss area, this region of savage
and wild beasts, of deserts of shift
ing sands and whirlwinds of dust.
> cactus and prarie dogs'.' To what use
could we ever hope to put these de
serts or these endless mountain rang
es, impenetrable and covered to their
bases with eternal snow? What can
we ever hope to do with the western
coast of three thousand wiles, rock
bouud. cheeriess and without a siugl>
harbor on it? What use have we for
such a country? ,\lr. President, I
will never vote one cent from the pub?
lie treasury to place the Pacific coast
oin* inch nearer Boston."

NEED OF THE TOWN
The pessimist is bad for business.
It is the pessimist who undermines
prosperity and disturbs confidence,
which after ali is the true
basis of prosperity. Take a
way confidence and substitute
doubt and timidity and the crops may
be great, money may be plentiful and
prosperity evident, vk it won't stay
so, for fear will slow the wheels of
industry as nothing else can.
Talk sunshLue.
In one office in 1'ocatello there is a
sign: "Business is good. If you have
a grouch, forget it. We havn't time
to talk hard times."
That sign contains the essence of
the philosophy of proserity.
If times are dull, talking about
(hem despairingly will not improve
them and may make them duller.
Optimism helps: it can't hinder. ?

A DIRECT PERSONAL APPEAL
Don't grumble if your paper is not
always flush up to the high standard
of your ideal. Charitably remember
that no editor is capable of getting
up quite as good a paper as you J
could yourself. ? Toledo Recorder.
Cease from anger, and forsake
wrath; fret not thyself in any wise
to do evil. ? Psalms, Chapter UT ? S.
Tln-re is such a thing as retribu
tion and the deposed Sultan of Tur
key Ls now gett'ng a taste of it.
It's hard to be cheerful ou a dull,
dtrk day ? but you feel better for
having tried.

SKAGWAY'S GRAVEYARD
A veil of reuiluiscent tears
Kaugs o'er the days of old.
Haugs o'er the fast receding years
When we fought with the cold for gold.
O graveyard quiet, O graveyard small
Thy sight lifts memory's veil
And my heart beats fast as I recall
The wonderful tale of the trail.
Whom thou hast lured, O Skagway
trail,
He never more comes back;
For thine is a charm that works
without fail,
O land of the pack and the track.
liccno Alexander.
