THE AGE IS OPTIMISTIC
Daily ar* we given illustrations prov
ing that this is an age of optimism.
For instance, mark the improvement
io the popular estimate of George Ed
ward Adams, the assay office embezzler,
since he made all the reparation to
?octet; for his crime thai he could, by
confessing and announcing that he will
tell the truth in {aid of those who are
seeking to determine the imount of his
defalcations, and since he went off to
jail saying that he will live out his
sentence and then live down his crime
by being square with the world for the
remainder of his life. Mark, also, how
quickly the people took the gold-bar
thief, Mlller.of Fairbanks, at his word
and loaned a helping hand when he,
haart-fick of crime, went buoyantly to
prison impatient to serve out his sen
tence and begia life again
The old phlloeophlsm, born in a brain
under control of the spell wrought by
pMslmism,' that Opportunity knocks
once at each man's door and. if not
bidden to enter, departs to come no
more, has fewer adherent# than of yore,
and the sign Is one that weighs heavily
oo the credit side of the optimist's
ledger. The accepted aoctrine seems
to be that of Judge Walter Malone.the
Tennessee lawyer, who. writing in an
swer to an endoraemeetof this old here
sy aboutOpportunity by Senator legal Is.
five us the following:
" They do me wrong, who say I come
no more
When once I knock and fail to find
you in:
For tevery day I stand outside vour
door,
And bid you wake to rise and tight
and win.
" Wall not for precious chances 'past
away;
Wait not for goldau ages on the
wing,
Siach day 1 burn the records of the
day.
At sunrise every soul is born again.
" Laugh like a boy at splendors that
have 3ed,
To vanished joys be blind and deaf
and dumb,
My judgments seal the dead past with
its dead,
But never bind a moment yet to
come. "
Ridgway's explanation of Gov. Hog
gatt's ideas about self-government for
Alaska might be satisfactory insofar as
they refer to Mr. Hoggatt's persona!
convictions but they do not clear away
the fact that he is aupporting a plan of
government, as a servant of the people,
which he knows they have repudiated
by an overwhelming majority. It does
not justify him ia attaching himself to
a little ring whioh has been industrious
ly and wilfully misrepresenting the
people aad doing its level best to
destroy all the effect of the delegate
bill and the election held under it.
But granting all that Ridgway's says to
I*
be true, and most of it undoubtedly is
true, ll proves Gov. Hoggait unfitted
for hit position. He has too much con
tempt for the people to be their gov
ernor.
After all, our greatest complaintin
this mail service question is against the
government. If the Federal author
ities think the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company is not doing the work it is
paid for, it should compel it to do it
tf poaible.lf impossible the fact thatthe
steamship company got the best of the
government in making a mail contract
should not operate to deprive the peo
ple of the best mall service that the
facilities will1 permit, if no other
remedy is available the government
abould pocket iu loss and pay for the
best service obtainable from th? boats
on the Alaskan route.
?S <1111 ?
Many Alaskan steamship companies
have carried Alaskan mails free of
charge to the government and the pec
pie for the purpose of accommodating
their patrons. The Alaska Steamship
Company, the oldWashington & Alaska
Steamship Company and others carried
mail to Skagway for many years with
out receiving any pay at all. Some of
the steamship companies operating oc
the Nome route do so every year for alj
or a part of the season. It would be
no harts for others to emulate the
patriotic example.
Becauso Delegate VVaskey took his'
seat on the democratic side of the
chamber of the house of representa
tives it need not necessarily be under
stood that he has aligned himself with
the minority party. A11 the territorial
delegates haye U eir seats on the demo
| cratic side of the chamber. The re
> publican majority is so large that there
, is not room on thair side of the house
for all of their own members. Some of
had to take seats with the unterrified.
People should use more than ordin
ary precautin in guarding against fire.
The best way to protect the city from
conflaeration is to have no tire.
"SWAStTka"
A Uoo<5 Luck Charm For
Skagway Ladies
The Swastika is the oldest cross, and
the oldest symbol in the world.
Of unknown origin, in frequent use
in prehistoric times, it historically first
appeared on coins, as early as the year
315 B. C.
The ancients were great astronomers
and it doubtless served as a calender to
them. It has been found in our Indian
Rugs and in the baskets of the Alasica
Indians. It makes a very pretty orna
ment and one beaten out of silver coin
by a native silversmith will doubtless
come as near bringing good luck to the
wearer.
The Swastika has been discovered on
this continent among the ruins of Mex
ico and central America, and is at the
present time, frequently used by the
Indians of Alaska as an ornament and
amulet.
Found among the relics of all ages
and peoples, from time immemorial the
Swastika has been considered as atalis
mac: a charm, to drive away evil, and
bring good luck. long life and prosperity
to the wearer.
