GOOD OUTLOOK FOR ALASKA.
Speaking In this city, Gov. Walter
?. Clark, of Alaska, said In de&ttng
with the problems and difficulties
which await him in the northern cou
tfy. It will be his policy first to "turn
to the people of Alaska," and then
to the men of Seattle who have -giv
en an unusual amount of earnest and
devoted study to the needs of the
territory.
Gov. Clark is beginning right. The
people of Alaska should be his first
concern, and they will welcome & pol
icy which wili give them some sort
of voice la the administration of the
affairs of the country. Of course pond
Ing a change which will give Alaska
the status of a territory, thus grant
ing the people the rights to which
they are fairly entitled under the
constitution, popular control in Alask
will not and cannot exist in its best
and broadest sense.
But among the intelligent and patrl
otic men of Alaska, Gov. Clark will
find a support which will be worth a
great deal to him, and it is not haz
arding a great deal to assume that the
immediate result of such a policy
will be found in a more efficient and
more satisfactory administration of
public affairs in that section of the
country.
' It cannot be fairly said that the
people of Alaska aave been given a
"square deal" in all particulars. Tru$
their delegates in congress have made
efforts to do the right thing by them;
but among officials there have been
differences of opinion which made It
impossible for the delegates to do
what they wished and ought to do.
The new governor seems to appreci
ate the m?d of official harmony In
Alaska and he Is equally quick to rea
ize the importance and value of tak
ing the people of the territory into
his confidence. Kor Alaskans, It is
aa encouraging outlook. ? Seattle P. I.
CAPTl&US CRITICISM
One of our subscribers objected be
cause la an article last week we call
ed a woman a woman. Our critic
thought we should have spoken of her
as a "lady."
The word "lady" is one of the
moot abused In the English language
Originally it was used as a title, the
wife of a lord being called a lady.
Later it was used in referring to
people who possessed those admir
able traits supposed to be common ?
but alas how rarely found ? among
the members of the nobility.
Of recent years and particularly in
America the word has become any
thing but complimentary. A little
story will illustrate this. Reading an
advertisement- calling for a scrub wo
man, a woman of this vocation went
to the house in Question.
"Are you the woman that adver
tised for a scrub lady?" she asked.
Woman is a word of fine and sim
ple dignity. To say that a woman is
womanly is the highest praise. To
call a woman a lady is like "gilding
the rose or refining a lily." ? Haines
Pioneer Press.
SUCCESS.
A tall and stately citizen pursues
bis stately way. "That man is worth
five million bucks," we bear admirers
say; and folks salute him as he goes,
and wear the servile smile, and while
he lingers in their view, they talk
?iiout his pile. It's good to have five
million bocks, or half a million less,
but' being wealthy doesn't mean that
you are a success. Of all the gifts
thti gods bestow, the commonest I
wot, l? that o< raking n the scads
tiH friction roatew- them hot. There
Is 110 cross roads In the laud but
has its plutocrat, some Village Aator
bilt wh6 hoards, and grows exceeding
fat; but villages are Tar between, to
Judge troui late returns, which breed
a future Millet or a follower of Burn?.
It's good to have five million bucks,
if they're not counterfeit; it's nice
to chase yourself aroui.d and feel that:
you are It; but If you have no other
claim to confidence and love, the
Jumplng-off place you should seek,
and give yourself a shove. I'd rather
keep a-plugging on, with little to dis
burse, and journey to the bonoyard In
the county -poor farm's hearse, and
have folks say 1 tried my beat to do
my little part, than le^ve a lot of
rocks behind and not a mourning
heart. ? Walt Mason.
Wiillam Fairbanks, superintendent
of the Northern Commercial company,
says that business this year was as
good as last year and that he expects
an Improvement next year. This hard
ly bears out the opinion of some pes
simists that the country is on the
"bum." Alaska Is Just at the thresh
old of an epoch of wonderful lndust-I
rial progress.
I know not whether laws be right,
Or whether laws be wrong;
Ail that we know who lie In jail
Is that the w&ll is strong;
And that each day is like a year, i
A year whose days are long.
? Oscar Wilde.
But when Jesus saw it ho was much
displeased and said unto them, Suf
fer the little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not; for of such
Is 'he kingdom of heaven. ? Mark,
