ALWAYS HELPING US.
Recently the Seattle Chamber of Commerce met and ap
pointed J. li- McPherson manager of the Alaska bureau, ant
hereafter he will have charge of all the work pertaining to tin
development of Alaska. Here is an instance where the righ
man is in the right place. McPherson is heart and soul foi
Alaska.
Speaking of Seattle’s doings for Alaska always brings tf
mind the notion that it is for selfish interest. While it may b<
for selfish interests, yet we cannot deny that those people art
nlwavs trying to do something for ns that others appear to ht
entirely indifferent about. Still those others would like t(
have a slice of tin* melon just the saint1, but when it comes tf
contributing ho its cultivation, they are not there. They wil
take whatever we want to give them in the way of trade ant
will appreciate it ami all that, but any further than that the)
are not there. On the other hand, while Seattle wants all slu
can get—-possibly more from Alaska, at the same time it wt
happen to want a boost she is there with the push.
Ever since the Nome camp was struck Seattle has hat
nearly mi; our trade, but she magnanimously paid in help am
otherwise. Everything Alaska has ever asked for Seattle has
been ready to help, and' did help. The fish question is thr
latest addition to her long list of efforts- None will deny tjiai
wo are confronted with a serious problem, but the moment wt
let it be known, the moment Seattle took it up, and now witl
McPherson at the head, she is working to remove that which it
strangling us. Ami what is more, she will do it, too, befort
she lets us go.
Seattle has done us many little tricks that we did not rel
’ish, and we have often promised to have nothing to do witl
her. but here she comes again with a smile and' extends anothei
helping hand. Yes, sir, Seattle may have been naughty a
times, but despite all that we love her still. We can’t help it
it seems.—Ketchikan Progressive.

Did' it ever occur to people that Hit1 change in the attitmb
of President Wilson from being the great advocate of peact
into his insistence that we must be prepared for war took plnct
just about tin- time that his marriage engagement was an
nouncod?
Copies of tin1 last report of the agricultural departmen
of its work in Alaska have been received. It contains a gen
eral statement of all that was done in the territory, bavin;
been written by C. C. Georgeson, who has charge of all tin
stations in Alaska. In addition, there are a number of article:
written by the superintendents of the various experiinenta
stations.

NUDE ART AND THE SCHOOLS.
AA'e have entered a new period. The ghost of Anthony
Comstock has enlarged the /.one of its authority, and even Sai
Francisco is beneath its spell. Bon vivant San Francisco
Think of that! Tin* remnant of the Barbary Coast well nun
look to the salvage of whatever is left of itself.
The authorities, after having had the children of the citj
turned loose for several days on purpose to see the fine art!
at the exposition, suddenly awaken to the suspicion that it is
all wrong, and that nude art is a crime. It is proposed to d'rap<
the stone and bronze, and veil the paintings- Particular sin
ners, it is alleged, are the stores whose windows expose to pub
lic gaze “September Morns” and other forms divine, but witl
not so much as a belt or a garter to check the chill on Sui
Francisco’s winter gales.
The chief of police is quite certain that children’s eyes
should not rest upon nude humans delineated in metal or ii
paint; the superintendent of schools, in doubt, leans somewha
in opposition to the use of aprons. He prefers nude art to be
nude, and sees no damage therein, except to those who already
have been damaged by false training, or a lack of training.
Artful dodging indeed is required of the modern, if he i>
shocked by anything except clothes, to escape the sight ot
iegs, masculine and' feminine. If the really beautiful things
> created by genuine artists are hid from his horrified eyes
there still remains the magazine advertisements, the window
dummies, and other devices of publicists who magnify tin
comforts of underwear and stockings that fit like divers
tights.
Shall we remove the delectable Ladles’ Home Journa
and Woman’s Home Companion from masculine view, anc
purge the pretty windows of hosiery? And who will vote ne
gatively to the proposal to expurgate from the magazines th(
inhumanly long-legged undressed youths, drawn by artistf
who have somewhere discovered new marvels in anatomy witl
which to demonstrate a mode of undersuitings which, if tliej
snugly fit the painted models, would not fit a single live being
so far as the books have described the vagaries of the humar
figure?

Delegate AVickersham has evidently switched from state
hood' for Alaska to a full form of territorial government.
