It was Taft oa the first ballot at the
convention yesterday and it will be Taft
on the flrat and only ballot in Novem
ber. And that will be an excellent
thine for the United States of America
and more especially an excellent thin)?
for lue district of Alaska.
It will be remembered that Mr. Taft
a couple of weeks ago when the repub
lican platform was under consideration
by the leaders at Washington, made a
special demand of the men at work on
it that the lloosevelt policies which he
knew he wffuld be expected by the
country to carry to a conclusion, since
Mr. Roosevelt would not allow himself
to t>e nominated, be definitely stated
and defined in the platform. This was
done, a^d Mr-Taft has been nominated
on that platform and will be elected
president upon it. He will, better than
any other man in the country, carry
forward the work begun by the presi
dent together with what he will himself
inaugurate. Thus much for the country
at large.
Mr. Roosevelt, though a resident of
New York, is a man of the west. He
Las shown this in many ways but none
more so than his advocacy of a western
nun to be his successor and for the
place of second in command.
Mr. Taft has bad more to do with the
out: vine possessions of Uncle Sam than
than any of his statesmen and has
jjro"vn in his sympathy with them until
he understands their needs and temper
us does no other man in the whole
country. To this sympathy and to his
efforts is due more than any other
agency the support given to the road
commission, the development of the
telegraph system, the installation of
wireless and other work of the war de
partment. Tfcat this man, therefore,
who is pecularily our friend should
oecupv the otlice of president, where
the labor that yesterday required tht
best strength of his strong right arm
may cow be accomplished by a nod, is a
matter upon which Alaska particu
larly?in common with all the broad
land bv A isk i pnrticularlj? may well
congrat iv-t.f. For of course h's
election i. es without saying Hurrah!
therefore, HURRAH FOK "mT!

good one from both standpoints --of
politic* and of men. The man may be
? good on* though unknown, and being
from the populous state of New York
may serve to make it unanimous.

MORNING IN THE NORTHWEST
By Arthur Strlnge.
Gray countries and gritn empires pau
away
And *11 the pomp and glory of oltled
towos
Goes down to dust; and youth Itself
shall age.
But, oh, the splendor of this autumn
dawn,
This passes not away ! This dew-drench
ed range,
This Infinite groat width of space,
This cool, keen wind that blows like
God's own breath
On lifo's once drowsy coal, and thrills
the blood,
This brooding sea of sun-washed soli
tude,
Tnis virginal rast dome of open air?
These, theso eadure, and greater are
than grief!
Still there is strength; and lire, oh, life
is good !
Still the horizon calls, the morrow
lures;
Still hearts (.dyentuious seek outward
trails;
Still, still life holds its hope !
For there is air and God's good green
ness spread !
Here youth audacious fronts the com
ing day I
Here are no huddled cities old In sin,
Where teem reptilious mirth and gold
on ease
And age on youth so [mountainoualy
lira !
Here life takes on a glory and a
strength
Of things still primal, and goes plung
ing on !
And what care we for time-encrusted
tombs ?
What care we here for ceasless drip
Of tears in countries old in tragedy ?
What care we here for all carta's
outworn,
The dream outlived, the hope to ashts
turned.
In that old East so dark with rain and
doubt ?
Here life swing! glad and free and rude
and youth
Shall drink it to the full and go con
tent !
