JUDGMENT AFFIRMED
There is not a thing to say today
except "I told you ?o."
The returns at this writln; are so
far from complete that there is no such
thing as drawing comparisons on any
thing like tine lines Sufficient that
it appears at this writing that Mr.
Taft will be served by the electors
of the country much as was Mr. Roose
velt a little better in spots and some
what loss considerately 'n others. The
verdict is affirmative once more of the
sanity of the voter when he goes in o
the bos. He may run to hear an
orator, ?nd be pieaaed and declart his
satisfaction at the entertainment af
forded, but when it gets down to the
serious business of voting he remarks
to himsef. "you must sho me,"?
and votes for Taft whom he feels can
do it. It i? no news to you, gentle
reader, that the country is safe. It i9
a matter of immense satisfaction to us
all that we do not today enter upon a
period of nncertainty, confronted with
one fact done that there is about to
to ens.;" an upheaval, a grand chance
o* the per-onel of the government
with Cod alone knowing what strange
policies were about to ht> upriing upon
us.
The prevailing order has been con
tirmei' and approved with a poilti*e
nsas of conviction that will send Mr.
Roosevelt away from the Whttehouse
with a deep sense of ?ati. faction and
Introduce Mr. Taft into his place, to
carry forward his work, knowing just
where he is and what is expected of
him. That's all there is of it. The
sermons have all been preached. The
arguments have been made ? judge
ment affirmed, ?s we siy in court.
A GOOD SUGGESTION
John P. Cluni. postmaster at Fair
banks. has resigned his position there
to return to the division of inspector,
and incidental to his resignation the
Tanana Tribune makes a suggestion
to remedy the endless postal troubles
of Alaska, and one which may be
consldervd with hopes of a solution
of the aggravations of the mail ser
vices in the Yukon.
The new scheme is to have a sort
of bureau established in the north
with a special director. The Tribune
commenting on the matter, says:
The suggestion lias been made and
it has met with the support of influ
ential men. that in a territory as re
mote from the headquarters of the
post office depariuentt as is Alaska,
that the office ol' director of |H>sls
should I to handle the
postal affairs of the country. Such
office was established in the Phil
ippine islands during the early days
of the American occupancy, and the
director was practically clothed with
power to run the nostal affairs of
the country as. in his judgment, he
deemed best.
"It is possible that a determined
campaign on the part of Alaskans
for the establishment of such a bu
reau would result in success. In the
consideration of a suitable man to
fill the office there could be no sec
ond thought. .Mr. Clum is so thor
oughly equipped for the position by
reason of his wide experience and
knowledge of conditions in the coun
try, that there is no doubt an earnest
effort to secure his appointment
would meet with the approval of the
department, and the opportunity for
useful service would be greatly in
creased in the larger field of labor
open to him.
"The suggestion for the establish
? M? ??! ii ii mi
rnent of the bureau will shortly bo ' '
broached to the department In an of ' j
ficial way. and It Is commended to <
the consideration of all people who ?
give a thought to the welfare of :
the territory lu the hope that the
Idea may be more generally advo- i
Cfcted und good results may be ae
compllshed towards securing the
added advantages which would come
to us by reason of the creation of
the office."

MR. HEARST
And now to think tha*, Senator New
lands is to be-elected in Nevada just as
Mr. Hearst was al<out to move from
New York or San Francisco -wherever
he lives? and take up his residence in
tha desert with the expectation of se
curing a seat in the senate, as a step
ping stone to the presidency next time.
This Is one of the unkiodest of many
unkind cuts.
Mr. Hearst is kept guessiog as to
which WHy to turn. Rather think it
is all over with Mr. Keatst. And this
recalls tba thought of what immense
power William R. Hearst had to wield
with bis five great newspapers if he
could but have realized the great truth
that a man may not ooost his own per
sonal cause with his own newspapers,
and the great truth that the maker*
of presidents have a place in the
economy of -the country that is really
greater than the holder of the oflice.

NOBILITY.
t I ^RUE worth Is In being, not seem- I
I Ink- -
| In doing rich day that goes by
^ Some little good? not III tho dream
ing
Of great things to do by mid by,
For whatever men say In blindness
Aud spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly ns kindness
And nothing so royal us truth.
We get back our mete as we measure? i
We cannot do wrong and feel right.
Nor can we give pain and feci pleasure.
For Justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow.
The bush for the robin and wren.
But alway the path that Is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
'TIs not In the pages of story
The heart of Its Ills to bogullc.
Though he who makes courtship to glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile.
For when from her heights ho has won
her.
Alas, It Is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred us honor
And nothing so loyal ns love!
We cannot make bargains for blisses
Nor catch them like tlshca In nets.
And sometimes the thing our llfu misses
Helps more than the thing which It
gets.
For good lleth not In pursuing
Nor gaining of great nor of small.
But Just in the doing, and doing
As we would be done by. Is all.
Through envy, through malice, through
hating.
Against tho world early and late.
No Jot of our courage ubatlng?
Our part Is to work and to wait.
And slight is tho sting of his trouble j
\Vhos?- winnings are less than Ills worth, |
For lie who Is honest Is noble.
Whatever his fortunes or birth.
