IF IROOSEVELT HELPS
Yesterday's telegraph dispitches to
The Alaskan brought gratifying news
to Alaskani id the form of a statement
of Delegate Cale that President Roose
velt would use his good offices with the
next congress in behalf of granting to
Alaska its rightful heritage? territor
ial government. Fiom what the dis
patches say it would seem that, despite
the machinations of self-constituted
lobbyists for non-resideut corporations, ;
the ear of the President has been j
reached and the justness of Alaska's
claim made apparent to him. Should
this lie the case it will uot be) long
t>efore a recalcitrant congress will be |
induce*! by him to grant Alaska what
'he has so long pleaded for and which,
is sacredly hen as the home of loyal
Americans.
Once let the President be convinced
of the degredstion which Alaska r.a>
suffered? of the calumny which lias
been heape<! upon It- and be will act.
They may mike their tight against the
territory befor9 congress, and those
who shou d l>e its defenders may be
counted on to play their ludas part,
out, with an active Interest taken by
President Roosevelt, their failure to
further wroug Alaska is an certain as
the setting of the sua and their efforts
to do so will be as empty as the winter
winds.
A "SOCIETY" RRFORT
A Ksdsm editor, whose staff consist
ed of one bibulous reporter and a "so
ciety editress," was imoudent enough
to take a vacation last month.
During his at>seoce, the inevitable
happened the reporter went on a how
ling spree and left the young lady ?
whose forte was descriptive stories
of pink teas, :o "hold iiowr." j
the editorial and rews end of ;
the paper.
Again the inevitable happened? a big
lire broke out in the residence district,
and this was the account of it the
editor read in his owu paper a few days
later:
'?t^uite a number of people in this j
part of the city attended a tire last '
njight at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. !
Blank in Thirteenth street. S'<me
went iu carriages and buggies, but a
majority walked. The alarm was i
sounded about !>:30, and many who
attendrd the Are had just returned from
church, consequently they were
already dressed for the occasion. Mr.
Blank was not at borne, being out of
town on business; hence the affair will
be quite a surprise to him when he re
turns. Mrs. Blank wore a light perca'e
kiraoco and hud ber hair done up in kid
curlers. The firemen responded read
ily and worked heroically to subdue
the seething lUmes, Most of them
were young and good looking. They
were dressed in oil-cloth coats cut
-hort, with trousers to match, i'heir
lut rims were narrow in front and broad
behind and sagged down in tha rear.
The chief's hat was ornament- d with an
octagonal brass spike, which stuck up
above bis head like a horn, giving in in
the appearance of a unicorn. Wheu
the llames broke out through the
>econd story and cast a lurid hue over |
the surrounding buildings, the view ?
.vas one never to ba forgotten. At a,
late hour the sightseers went home. ;
and all felt that they had passed
au eveniug full of interest and oxcite
meut."
The "editress'' had unconsciously
hit off a splendid piece of "feature"
work, but it was in Kansas, and the
editor cut short his vaca ion to put au
end to the only thing that made his
paper worth reading.
With an American naval tieet worthy
to represent the power and majesty of
this nation in I'acitic waters, we will
hear less impudent talk from the Jap
anese. It was bigh time that President
Koosevelt called the yellow bluff, and
there is not a patriotic citizen but will
applaud this action which is an unmis
takable sign to the worlu that this
country is prepared to defend her own
in the name of justice and fair play.
Bveti at that, the engineer of the Bal
timore A Ohio railroad who attempted
to make a siding thirty miles away in
sixteen minutes and ran into a fast train
and killed ten people cann >t be properly
classed as :t mollycoddle.
The report that comes from Washing
ton that Alaskans do not want territor
ial government is another illustration
that one is even at. this late day, forced
to go away from home to learn the
news.
Doctors now declare lhat the peek-a
book shirt waists causes women to have
stiff necks. It also causes many men
to have rubber neoks.
