ROOSEVELT AND THE iOUTH
It Is no wonder President Roosevelt
is making himself popular in the South,
but it will not be strange if he gains
that popularity ai the expense of the
favor of the narrower classes in the
North, in thecourse of a speech deliver
ed down in .Georgia to an [audience to
which he was introduced by Senator
Alexander Stephens Clay, iu referring
to the civil war, be said:
"All Americans who are worthy the
name feel an equal pride in the valor
of those who fought on one side or the
other, provided only that each did with
all his might arid soul and mind his
duty as it was given him to see his
Uaty."
However, while that position may
sound strange as emanating from a mac
in high station, surrounded by men
who taiked so much of rebel brigadiers
a few years a^o. it is directly in line
with the writings of later Jay histor
ians. Uenry Cabot Lodge, the poli
tician and historian, who represents in
part Massachusetts in the United States
senate, has written and spoken from
President Roosevelt's standpoint for a
great many years.
Witte is again the right hand man of
C'iar Nicholas at the head of the Rus
sian government and more secure in
his position thin ever. It took ability
as well as luck for a man to become a
hero as the result of an inglorious war. i
Witte had both.
Miss Roosevelt probably wishes the
popularity of the Roosevelt family
were not so great. That #00,000 duty
is a considerable sum to pay from a for
tune that is described as modest upon
articles that she is m honor bound to
retain.
In deciding to send the mail for Eagle,
Circle and surrounding country in by
way of Valdez the posto.'liee department
may serve American mail carrisrs a
good turn, bu'. It will work a hardship
on the people of Eagle and surrounding
country.
Someone should kill the man who
makes pictures for the Seattle Post
Intelligencer and destroy his tools.
Those pictures are simply awful.
ALASKA LIBRARY
HAS CARETAKER
The Alaska library now has a home
and librarian all its own The houie is
in the second story of the customs
house, over the postoffice, and the libr
arian is Leo XaKokofT. He received
the appointment from Gov. Rrady, but
will have to be confirmed by congresa
before the position will become ofllcial
and carry a salary.
Few people are aware Alaska boasts
a library of 30,000 valumes. It is a fact
nevertheless. Laura Jean Libbey, nor
Conan Doyle. nor even Richard Hard
ing Davis figure as the authors of any
of these books. They are all books of
reference, including history, travel and
government, state and territorial re
ports. ? Sitka Cablegram.

before he told me that I could turn
his ununited life into oiie of Inexpress

Unfortunately for us both, there was
no ground on which he could get a di
