HUMAN CHAMELEONISM.
”1 lik’ America. American clos’ vera pret-tee, better than
the kim ono. American ladies vera kind,” and Madame Mat
sunaga, bride of two months, resident of the United States one
month, smoothed the folds of a smart American frock compla
cently, searching in her limited vocabulary for words to express
her liking of American architecture, opera and people. Under
tlie native politeness of every Japanese, the expressions from
the little lady of the Japanese consulate are indicative of a
spirit of adaptability and an eagerness to leani from Occiden
tal peoples that have astounded the world in the resulting pro
gress of the island nation.
However much Americans may dislike to admit it, the Jap
anese are becoming important factors in the markets of the
world. American traders and manufacturers can team valuable
lessons from their erstwhile rivals. Often more can be obtained
from a people or a country by a willingness to recognize their
individuality and conform to conditions as they are found,
rather than force Americanism on people to whom centuries of
different breeding have made them objectionable. Adaptabil
ity, sympathy and a recognition of the rights of others to their
own lives and individualities and' tastes, will help Americans
to keep pace with the growing competition in the foreign in
dustrial field.
HOME FOR OLD WOMEN.
A home for old women was not proposed before, probably,
because no one thought of the need of it. No doubt we all lived
under the belief that no old woman would be left without the
necessaries of life in this territory if their wants were known,
and we were probably right. It is safe to say that no old wo
man need want in Alaska if she only let her needs be known,
but a woman is slow to do so.
Now, however, that the subject has been broached it must
strike everyone as being one which should' not be ignored. It
is a subject which touches so sympathetic a cord that to men
tion it is to make a man fairly shout for the establishment of
such a home, and to shout for its establishment even if we be
lieved no women would ever enter it. It is a ]>oor consolation
to any old or disabled woman to know that the state will care
for her when all other hope is passed, but it is some consolation
at that, and many a good old lady might have the terror begot
ten of a desperate outlook driven away by knowing that if all
comes to all she would have a roof to shelter her.
Establish a home for her. It can never be a home in the
proper sense of the word, and all Alaskans hope that she would
never have to use it, but establish it and remove from many an
old woman throughout the territory the fear of the future. —
Juneau Dispatch.

BRANDED RIGHT.
That Governor Strong has made himself popular is shown
by the action of the* legislature in adopting a resolution endors
ing his reappointment to the office. The reason for his popular
ity is not far-fetched. The governor is both Republican and
Democrat, with the former attribute predominating, and hold
ing in check his Democratic tendency. He has checkers within
himself, so to speak. The same may be said of the attorney
general, the Hon. George B. Grigsby. The best part of himself
is Republican, and being able to see with both eyes, he per
ceives merits in Democratic principles—his office, for instance.
Today, if you look back at the record of every good Democrat
you will find a streak of Republicanism that stiffens up their
manhood and makes of them the best office holders. They
have the “staying” quality.—Ketchikan Progressive.

With the big news of the great allied advance on the west
ern front, with further news of the triumph of democracy
throughout Russia, and with the developments that may bring
the United States into the war nt any moment, editors in Paris
are facing the discouraging situation of being forced to tell it
all on a single sheet, a government rule for the conservation of
the paper supply having gone into effect.
-:o:
The closure would prohibit any senator from speaking
more than an hour. This should arouse much less indignation
than a rule forcing a senator to listen for that length of time.
---
That unrelenting plugging finally will get you there is
again exemplified by the allied success on the western front.
-:o:
Destruction of the records of political offenses in Russian
archives appeals to the imagination.

Hons of Siberian Exiles may be the name of a future patri
otic- organization in free Russia.
-:o:
The Russians will now find it easier than ever to move af
ter having captured Van.
-:o:
At any rate we are not to be driven into war as a counter
irritant to a railroad strike. ~~—

The soldiers are getting a chance to stretch their legs a bit
on the western front.

Like all men who lose their jobs, Nick Romanoff is sure lie
was double-crossed.

Now that the allies have taken Peronne they ought to feel
better.
