CONGRESSIOft A L MACHINE
AGAINST ALASKA
The congressional rine and bosses,
about which the Daily Alaskan com
mented yesteril.iv, are the very same
that are prevention the people of Alas
ka from receiving a recognition of their
political rights as American citizens.
They are fighting against the extension
of representation in the affairs of the
nation] to more Western communitties.
They have the situation, as it now is, I
well within their grasp.and they do not
propose to jeopardize their position
more than possible.
A territorial government has become |
to be recognized as a stepping stone to '
statehood. If Alaska should be made a
territory it would imply a promise to
make it a state at some future time. '
This. Senator Piatt, when alive and the
acknowledged boss of the congressional
ring, said could not be.
Western senators and congressmen
are r.ot all or the opinion of these Cast
em congressional bosses, but there are
so many of them who are begging ap
propriates and other favors from the
machine that they are afraid to cross
it, therefore Alaska comes under the
ban of congress.
The Douglas News strikes a popular
chord when it suggests that the time is
past when traveling showmen canse-J
cure fancy prices for seats at cheap j
theatrical productions. Of course, j
where towns are as far apjrt and trav
eling expenses as high as they are in I
Alaska, people do not expect tosecure ,
seats at as low rates as obtain in the i
states, but they are beginning to. insist
upon getting somethig like their
money's worth. The N'ews puts it this
way:
"The fact of the business is that the
peopL* of Southeastern Alaskan towns
are not so much different from those in
the cities and towns of the states, and
when it comes to paying six bits or a
dollar for a 25-cent show they are not
there. If any aggregation of perform
ers wish to put on a good show at a rea
sonable price they will get a good
house most any time.''
A Minnesotan complains because the
Ba:ly Alaskan included Representative
Tawnev in the congressional ring, and
he po nts out that once or twice he defi
ed the ring. It is true, it is authorata
tively said, that Mr. Tawney did declare i
himself to Speaker Cannon and other*
of the bosses once or twice, but his pur- j
pose seems to Lave been accomplished j
when they opened the ring up and took
him into it. His tight resulted in rec
ognition, bettsr assignments and si
lence. Mr. Tawney was fighting for
Mr. Tawney. He won his fight, but
the ring is still in existence.
The movement that originated at the
dinner given by ihe Rev. Mr. Glenk
Wednesday night to some of the young
men of Skagway to start a young men's
club and a public reading room is
worthy of support. Sucf: an in?- i' u'ion
would be capable of doing much good in
Skagway to both the meabers of the
club and to the town generally.

Whldlrrn of Danr?rii.
One day a stranger strolled Into the
?ld Berry tavern at Danvers. A mim
Der of men were seated In the office
and were asked by the newcomer, "Win
you kludly tell uie where I may find
the Whittler house?"
' A young business num. not a native
of the towu, to be sure, but who had
lived In It a number of years and be
longed to New England, spoke up, say
lng: "You mean Joe Whittler, the con
tractor? lie lives at Danversport"
"No. no; I refer to John G. Whittler."
"John G. Whittler? Never heard of
him. The only other Whittler In this
towu Is Clarence Whittler, Janitor of
the town house. He lives on Esses
street."
The stranger became both amused
and Impatient and said: "I am talking
about Joliu G. Whittler, the poet. lie's
dead, you know. I want to find out
where his home was."
"Oh, well," said the young business
man, with a sigh of relief at Ids ability
to Impart information, "if It's anybody
who's dead go right over to Will Cros
by, the undertaker, across the street.
He'll tell you all about lt."~Boston

The Hope of Misfortune*
Pain Is n soul tonle. Sorrow often
brings out the best there is in us. Ilap
plnpss does not develop character. It
glvos It surface brightness and decks It
with prismatic bubbles. It takes the
deep reaching arm of misfortune to
trouble the depths and bring out the
pearls that lie there. The most mag
netlc faces are lined by thought and
noble care. Strong, unselfish love, even
If misplaced and unappreciated, en
nobles the lover. It Is the frivolous
vanity born emotions th-it fritter away
character and make faces Insignificant
To foil lu high aim after earnest and
honest effort Is not failure. The gain
It brings In strength and discipline will
appear in other directions. Mi fortune
has often In the history of the world
been the menus of making a poet, ora
tor, philanthropist, scientist or states
man out of a person whose career but
for the misfortune or physical disablH
ty would have been commonplace ?nd
Influence limited.? Medical Talk.
The Glauming.
The "gloaming" I by origin :ik!n to
gloom. The root lilea Is to look covert
ly from beneath the brows not with
full open eyes, and so the gloaming is
that time of day when the sun, sinking
below the horizon, shin.s obscurely un
der the advancing shades of ui^ht, a>
eyes may gleam dimly from lowering
brows.
Byron, the poet, wrote. "As gloant
ing, the Scottish word for t .vill lit. ba>
been recommended by n. m;. literarj
men and particularly by '>r. Moore In
bis letters to Uurns, I bavi ventured t ?
use It on account of its harmony."
The evening star is called tl.- "sjloam
Ing" star In Scotland, and Lowell's
"The snow had becun in the gloam
ing" aud Hogg's "'Twlxt the gloaming
and the mirk. when the kyc come
hame," are familiar lustances of ltd
use.
Rice a* n Soporltlc,
"If people would eat plenty of rice
they would not ueivl drugs to make
them sleep," said a New York drug
clerk, pausing for a moment In put
ting up a sleeping potion for a wo
man. "There is much said about rlcc
as a strengthening food, but few Amer
icans know that it has soporific pow
ere. If properly cooked It has. Rice
Bhould l>e washed many times until the
water no longer appears milky. It
should then be soaked a few hours,
salted and boiled rapidly about thirty
minutes. . When cooked in this way It
can be eateu each day with relish, and
the persou who cats it sleeps well uu<1
dreams not at all."
Gnjiton'M Point of Vleiv.
"Ze American, ah, he is3 a vet fuun\

"What's on your mind, Oaston?"
"Today 1 see a beautiful lady, elevalt
