“HONEST ABE’S" SUCCESSOR
“The heart of the world Is under
very plain jackets,” said President
Wilson in a recent speech to the il
luminati of France. “The heart of the
world is at very simple firesides. The
- heart of the world iB in very simple
circumstances; and unless you kno«
the pressure of life on the humblei
classes, you know nothing of life what
ever.”
In his academic fashion, withou
ever having been in touch with the
“heart of the world,” Mr. Wilson hai
arrived at some very true conclusions
Feted by kings while he was spenelin;
millions of the hard-earned cash o:
people in very simple circumstances
Mr. Wilson, with the eye of a scholar
could see that the heart of the work
was beating under very plain jackets
And in that aloof way of his he wantei
the kings, the princes and the aristo
c.ratic diplomats to make the work
safe for democracy and the democratii
party.
For these many years the heart o
Woodrow Wilson has been under i
frock coat and his brains under eithe
a mortar-board or a high silk hat. Fo
the last six months he has been cavort
ing about western Europe with royalt
and Mrs. Wilson and he have hear
their own hearts beat exultingly a
they sat beside kings and queens an
munched upon viands served fror
gold plate. He helped to accenuat
the pressure of life on the people b
presenting to congress a bill of $5,000
000 to cover the expenses of his las
trip. What the next bill will be th
people in “simple circumstances” ca
timidly conjecture. In it they are t
find, no doubt, one item of $1,000,00
for the renovation of the Hotel Crillo
—the Paris White House. And whe
the full bill is presented the heart c
the people in simple circumstance
will be beating more violently tha
ever under plain jackets. In fact, th
jackets are getting plainer and plains
as the administration’s bills gets bis
ger and bigger.
It may be edifying and instructiv
to recall the simple life of the Demi
cratic “Lincoln.” He looked out upo
the humbler classes from a charmin
coign of vantage in his boyhood whe
they trampled by with books an
slates to the public schools while “h
prepared for college with privat
tutors.” He entered Davidson colleg
at 18 years of age and from 1874 t
1902, with the exception of two year
of law practice in Atlanta, he kej
himself irTfoneh with the heart of th
aristocratic universities — Princetoi
Virginia, John Hopkins, Bryn Maw
Wesleyan, and then Princeton agaii
His biography tells us that in 188
he married the daughter of “a dii
tinguished family of Savannah, Ga
who passed away in 1914, one who wa
quite as charming, estimable and ai
compllshed as any member of her dii
tinguished family. In 1915 he marrie
a rich Washingtonian, who claim
Princess Pocohontas to be one of he
ancestors.
In this way Mr. Wilson has com
into absent-treatment touch with th
plain jackets of the world or, perhapi
Into closer touch when playing his fa’
orlte game of golf while humble ca<
dies have searched the lanes and bj
ways for the elusive ball.
VOICE OF THE ALA8KA PRES
The greatest need ot Alaska toda
is more and better roads. With a
adequate road system, the develoi
ment of the Territory would progrea
by leaps and bounds. And until w
have it, development is bound to b
backward.—Fairbanks Cltlsen.
Notwithstanding the indemen
weather, McCarthy has presented ;
very lively appearance during the pas
week, an unusual number of visitor
from Chltlna, Btrelna and Kennecot
having paid the town a visit, busines
conditions have picked up and alt<
gether a decided improvement is no
ticeable. This is due in part perhaps
to the recent petition presented to the
authorities to enforce the bone dry
law, and which has since met with
far greater success than was antici
pated.—McCarthy News.
The attempt of the First division
to secede from the Territory of Alaska
and become a separate territory, while
occasioning no surprise to the resi
dents of the Second, Third and Fourth
division, is so frivolous as to be
absurd. The claim by the residents
of that division, as enunciated by the
citizens of Ketchikan, that the First
division produces practically the
money to maintain the territory and
therefore the First should have the
bulk of the moneys appropriated is
another bit of bunk which will tickle
the risibles of residents of the terri
tory who will view the attempt of
the tail to wag the dog with much
merriment. If the citizens of the first
division are attempting to perpetrate
a joke we are willing to laugh with the
bunch, but if in earnest we would sug
gest that it take a look-see at the
figures before cutting off from the ter
ritorial payroll. We know not what
meat our Caeser has fed on to grow
so great.—Valdez Miner.
That the Masters and Pilots Asso
ciation has unanimously indorsed the
project to dredge Wrangell Narrows
is the word brought to Petersburg by
Captain Charles Glascock and Pilot
Howard Bulenne, of the steamer Ad
miral Watson.
These two men are working hard
for the project and say that even were
; Dry Straits dredged it would not be
i used, except possibly by a very few
boats.
“The use of Dry Straits means that
: boats will have to operate for over
1 twenty miles farther through one of
, the worst ice fields in Alaska. An enor
. fous amount of money would have to
l be spent yearly to keep the channel
• clear of sand and silt. Besides that the
1 current through there would carry ice
■ bergs from Le Conte Glacier out into
: Stickine Striats. We now have free
' navigation, as far as ice is concerned
until we leave the North end of Wran
' gell Narrows. Were Dry Straits
i- dredged we would haveto start watch
' ing for ice immediately after leaving
' ] Ketchikan. The heavy ice fields from
• the glacier would make it impossible
r to navigate Dry Straits at certain sea
1 sons of the year. The business of this
i section is in Wrangell Narrows and
1 after navigating Dry Straits we would
i have to come into the Narrows any
e way to serve Petersburg and Scow
V bay. Every man who Is in command of
a ship on the Alaska run, or who ever
t navigated a ship in these waters is be
s hind the project.” said Captain
a Glascock recently.—Petersburg Report.

Whether you’re felling timber, pros- B
pecting, or fishing, there’s a Goodrich a
Boot that will carry you farther and B
last you longer than any other you B

It’s not made like other boots—it's B
different, made IN ONE SINGLE I
PIECE with a sole tough as a tire H
tread that you’ll never need to half sole. „ B
In this ad we show only one style of B
Goodrich Footwear—the Brown E

Lehigh or the White Hip to better B
advantage. You’ll find Goodrich B
“Hi-Press” prices no higher than for I
ordinary boots—and Goodrich will ■
last you twice as long. B
