The moments are quickly passing,
and we stand like som$ traveler upon
a lofty crag that separates two bound
less seas. The century that is clos
ing is complete. “The past,” said
your great statesman, “is secure.” It
is finished and beyond our reach. The
hand of detraction can not dim its
glories, nor the tears of repentance
wipe away its stains. Its good and
evil, its joy and sorrow, its truth and
falsehood, its honor and its shame we
can not touch. Sigh for them, blush
for them, weep for them if we will, we
can not change them now. The old
century is dying and they are to be
buried with him; its history is fin
ished and they will stand upon its roll
forever.
The century that is opening is all
our own. The years that are before
us are a virgin page. We can in
scribe them as we will. The future
of our country rests upon us. The
happiness of posterity depends on us,
The fate of humanity may be in our
hands. That pleading voice, choked
with the sobs of ages, which has sc
often spoken to deaf ears, is lifted up
to us. It asks us to be brave, benev
olent, consistent, true to the teach
ings of our history, proving “divint
descent by worth divine.” It asks us
to be virtuous, building up public vir
tue upon private worth; seeking thai
righteousness that exalteth nations. Ii
asks us to be patriotic, loving oui
country before all other things, mak
ing her happiness our happiness, hei
honors ours, her fame our own. I
asks us in the name of charity, in ths
name of freedom, in the name of God!
In a republic the public has rights
that every element in the countn
smaller than the whole population is
bound to respect.
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion of the purpose in keeping i
flock of sheep on the White Houss
lawn, but probably it is to raise mors
wool to pull over people’s eyes.
There are only seventy-one Americai
soldiers left in France, but Senato;
Smoot says there are still 250 press
' agents left in the Washington depart
' ments. Told you it would be harder
- to demobilize the press agents than
’ the soldiers.
0 The time is coming in the United
5 States when it will no longer be possi

with commercial chaos or starvation
•
if their demands are not granted.
7 Senator Kirby of Arkansas says:
1 ::We Democrats have no candidate
] for President, and won’t have until
we hear from the President.” How
- much mental wear and tear it does
save a rubber stamp senator to have
someone in the White House to do all
his thinking for him.
Lloyd George declares: “De Valera
is putting forth in the United States
the same views in the. same terms
that Jefferson Davis used.” But the
views, coming from DeValera, do not
seem to be as popular with British
officialism as they were coming from
Mr. Davis.
Wickersham is a dead cock in the
pit, politically speaking, in Alaska. His
■ recent attempt to dictate to the resi
dents of the territory met with the
1 fate that it deserved. He telegraphed
from Washington to his friends and
the press urging support of ‘Herron
' and “defeat Hazelet at all hazards,” but
the voters refused to do ’er.
The Bolshevik government has is
sued a proclamation denouncing the
Russian railway workers for taking
too many holidays and suggesting
what will be done to them if they
don’t stay on the job a little better.
The Bolsheviki have made the star
tling discovery that even in a Social
ist heaven you can’t eat without work
ing a bit once in a while.
Not, not all the unrest in the coun
try is due to labor. On the contrary,
much of the unrest is due to the con
j scienceless exactions of the big and
i little influences which keep pushing
prices higher and higher every month
without regard to actual costs or val
ues in the effort to get while the get
ting is good. Every man who wants
to be honest is willing to admit that
so-called big business is not the only
big sinner in this matter. The trouble
is nearly everybody’s doing it.
The name “Yankee” came from a
Chinese phrase, “Yang jung,” by way
of East India, where the words were
corrupted to “Yang Gee,” according to
Teh Yi Hsieh, Chinese labor leader,
who recently arrived in this country
to establish relations with the Ameri
can Federation of Labor. “Yang Gee”
means “you are a young foreigner.”
Mr. Teh believes the word Yankee was
first applied to New Englanders by
English or Dutch sailors who had
learned the phrase in the Orient.

RESIDENT REPUBLICANS WIN
The election of John C. McBride t(
be the leader of the Republican part}
in Alaska by a large majority can no
fail to be gratifying to the substan
tial people of Alaska—and by substan
tial we mean the permanent residents
of Alaska, whether they be business
men or workingmen, prospectors oi
professional men, engaged in mining
or fishing. It means that the resident
Republican people of Alaska, those
who live in Alaska, have one of theii
kind—a sourdough who has made good
and is here to stay—to represent them
in the councils of one of the great po
litical parties.
Fortunately, in the Democratic party
there was no opposition to a similar
citizen for national committeeman. Mr.
Donohoe has been a resident of Alaska
for more than a score of years, and
he has been, like Mr. McBride, the
new Republican leader, a hard-work
ing citizen who has thrived from his
industry and ability. Mr. McBride, the
Republican leader, is a pioneer mer
chant. Mr. Donohoe, the re-elected
Democratic national committeeman, is
a pioneer lawyer.
The election of George C. Hazelet
for delegate to the Republican national
convention is gratifying to those who
are opposed to mud-slinging politics.
Mr. Hazelet is one of the most sub
stantial of Alaska’s leading citizens,
and a worthy representative of his
party.—Juneau Empire. »
