OLD FASHIONED REPUBLICAN POLICY
Whether or not his utter defeat in his
own state will have dashed his taste for
battle remains to be seen, but Mr. For
aker wjs lately referred to as the (one)
Senator- Who-Is Not-Afraid. After the
presentation by the president of his last
outspoken message to congress the sen
ators were disposed to refer to it only
in private conversation- -the senator
from Ohio, who was fornenst the presi
dent and wanted everybody to know it
being the solitary exception. He
talked out in that august assemblage,
where every word is recorded and sent
broadcast. "If the next president of
the United States," he said, "will be
contcnt and proud, as any man might
well be, to execute plain, simple, old
fashioned republican policies, Instead of
his own, our prosperity will come not
only again, but permanently abide with
us.''
Just exactly this sentiment, probably,
explains Foraker's loss of grip upon
even bis own state. It is just exactly
became the present president refuses to
confine himself tos tuple, old-fashioned
republican policies that he has caught
the pub.ic heart and atrong support.
People had grown sick and tired of sim
ple old fashioned policy when they had
it? the framing of a resound ng plat
form for the purpose of the convention,
and then nothing doing until the next
campaign, a campaign that again
meaut nothing more than a few months
of fevered excitement to disturb busi
ness, and then a relapse into a placid
condition of corporate lust and outlaw
ry; a policy that brought public office
into public contempt, where it was
lalf-n for Kt*.iutt.U that aa oQlce-tlOlder
Ta? ^raftiuK for all that his office wou'd
staod itnd where the people, feeling
themselves help'rss in the matter, as
sented to it. This is the old-fashioned
policy lu both parties, and it is because
Mr. Roosevelt has shown us that this
condition is not essential in a republic;
ibat these ou'rageous abuses c n be
corrected if there is a will to do it, and
not only that, but that they are really
being corrected; it is because the present
president is doing the things that the
old policy only talked of doing that the
people want no more of the old-f<tsn?
loned policy under any name that It
may be offered.

Washington, March 2 ? Congressman
Sulzer recently spent some time in New
York, during which he piloted a part;
of Alaskans around the city. A bail,
given recently und>.r the auspices of
Tammany hall, wbs attended by at least
a dozen "sour doughs."
Among the Alaskans in Washington
recently was ex Governor McGraw,
formerly of Ram parb- City, who in com
pany with Mr. Reed was here lobbying
for the success of the Alaska exposition
bill.
Dave Meares, formerly of Fairbanks,
and a partner of Thomas Cale, has left
for Seattle. He intends returning to
Fairbanks over the ice.
Governor Brady was here a few days
ago, and is returning to Alaska 10 take
up agriculture as a means oHivelihood.
Be stated to several friends that he has
been ruined by Reynolds and tbe com

turn to the north to start life anew.
The ex governor will settle at Sitka,
where he owns some land which he will
endeavor to make pioductive.
Dudley Dubose, formerly of Nome,

Mr. Farrel, a partner of Mr. Cale's at
Fairbanks, was in Washington a few
days ago, after having spent a portion
her hurt, hesitating to go to bis s'de in
his e.xtremiiy? that's tragedy.
It was a brief hour of victory enjoyed
by the senator elect of Louisiana. It
has ever been like taking one's life in
one's hand to engage in politics down
in the sunny south.
Perhaps it is because the American
is more used to the kind of roads we

THE SNOW MAN
Out on the lawn when the sun wps
wat m
We raised the man of snow;
Rolled and molded his chilly form,
And watched his stature grow.
His head wa* a pond'rous icy ball,
His nose was shaped with craft;
He looked so fine, so white and tall,
That Dorothy gaily laughtd.
There he was left when the sun sank
low;
The south wind blew till duvn,
And when we looked for our man of
snow
His stitelv form wa? cone.
Dorothy stared through the window
pane?
Where was her snowy pride?
Her blu! eyes wondering looked again,
And then she softly cried.
Ah, little maid, with eyes of blue,
Here is a lesion drear;
Often the things most dear to you
Will fade and disappear.
Castles you rear in fond delight
Crumble and topple low,
Passing from sitrht in gloom of nigbt
Like to the man of snow.

J. W. Albright, a Nome attoroey, was
here for a few days witb a view to ae*
curing legislation that will enable the
miners of Seward Peninsula and other
sections of Alaska 10 secure a patent to
their claims without having them plat

It is obvious that not one c.u. ?.
