A TRAVELING PRESIDENT
Mr Taft. once the itinerant secre
tary, has no idea of subsiding into a
stay-at-home chief executive. He de
>ires to visit Alaska tiiis sumuier and
inquiries regarding the journey are b j
i:;g made for hiiu.
What he designs is not merely a j
pleusaut outing through the inland |
passage from Puget Sound to Sitka
;.nd Juueau. but to penetrate into tile
\ husk an mass, to see the upper Yukon j
the coal measures, the copper country j
lac timber stretches, the vast areas !
that some day will support millions j
of American farmers.
Since Kooeevelt shattered the tra
ditions thai confined a president of
(Ue United States within the "three
iuile limit" of our coasts, any presi
dent, it is to be presumed, is free
to visit any of our over-sea posse*- :
s!ons. Of these Alaska is easily the
most important, although not as prom
i;:entlv in the public eye as our ins
idar dependencies. It is a' least as
miHtruuit that President Tsift be ac
quainted with the "lay of the land"
!:? Alaska, as in the Philippines or
I anama or the West Indies.
Alaska differs from our other over
sea potasessions in that she alone of
i? rs a future home for millions of Am
II leans. Alaska is as unoccupied as
'."as the "wild west" forty years ago !
Xeither brown men nor yellow, nor
Wen i>f the latin stocks oppose colo
r.izatiou by our own people. States!
as essentially American as Oregon '
?xnd Montana can be carved out of
'he Alaskan territory.
The vast peninsula, moreover, is'
. a her probably than any equal extent
i ? the American domain. And its ex
tent exceeds that of the original thir
t< en states. If the needs of our isl- j
amis >? ??111 important al the moment,
'he needs of Alaska are in reality ten ,
ttdd more sii. Alaska will become a,
cetnber of our body politic, whereas ,
the others at best can be but hang
< rs-on.
.Much Alaskan legislation must|
eome up in the near future, and if
the president obtains some first-hand
knowledge of conditions, such legisla
tion will, no doubt, nov only be ex
pi d:ted but made judicious. ? Minnea

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
WELCOME to the day return
ing.
Dearer still as ages flow.
While the torch of faith Is
burning.
Lotus as freedom's altars Blow!
See the hero whom It Rave us.
Slumbering on a mother's breast.
For the arm he stretched to save us. |
He Its morn forever blest:
Hear the tale of youthful glory.
Wlille of l.rltaln's rescued band.
Friend and fixt n-pcat the story.
Spread his fame o'er sea and land.
Where the r?"l cross, proudly streaming.
Flaps above the frigate's deck.
Where the golden lilies, gleaming,
Star the watchtowers of Quebec.
Look! The shadow on the dial
Marks the hem of deadlier strife.
Days of terror, years of trial.
Scourge a nation Into life.
Lo. the youth become her leader!
All her bullied tyrants yield!
Through his arm the Lord hath freed
her.
Crown him on the tented fleld.
Vain Is empire's mad temptation.
Not for him an earthly crown.
He whose sword hath freed a nation
Strikes the offered scepter down.
See the thronoless conqueror seated.
Ruler by a people's choice.
See the patriot's task completed.
Hear the father's dying voice.
Father, we whose ears have tingled
With the words of doubt and shame.
We. whose sires their blood have mln- 1
gled
In the battle's thunder flame.
Gathering while this holy morning
Lights the land from sea to sea.
Hear thy counsel, heed thy warning.
Trust us while we honor thee.
?Oliver Wendell Holmes.

There is certainly an mr of refine
ment and stylo about the
EATON, CRANE & PIKE
writing papers, but those are by n
means the only requisites that they
possess. These papers aro beauti
f> ? to look at, agreeable to the touch,
take the stamp of the monogram die
to perfection, have a most pleasing
writing surface, and arc absolutely < <i
rect as to size and shape.
We carry many of the Eaton,
Crane & Pike writing papers, and can
recommend them all.
We also, recommend other lines of
our complete stationery stock, such n
blank books, tablets, writing material
a fine assortment of Waterman's and
Parker's Fountain Pens, etc., etc.
