TODAY — LINCOLN’S BIRTHDAY
A recent writer on Lincoln as a
“lover of mankind" has likened him
to two other great men who have be
come a common possession of our
Anglo-Saxon race. Although they
seem almost as far separated from
each other as from Lincoln himself,
both Chaucer and Sir Walter Scott
reveal to the careful observer the
qualities that provoked a comparison
* apparently so remote. These are the
qualities of a lover of mankind.
Chaucer displayed them in depict
ing, with sympathy for all. the group
» of widely various characters who made
their immortal Canterbury Pilgrimage
together. Scott displayed them not
only through the creatures of his im
agination. but also in his recorded re
lations with all his fellow beings. In
that respect Chaucer is at a disad
vantage. because he lived long before
biography had attained anything like
its modern abundance. Lincoln, later
•than Scott, and more tempting to bi
ographies because of his high place,
is the most fully recorded of them all |
—although there is no single book
about him that seems so sure to per
sist as the “Life of Scott,” by Scott’s j
son-in-law, Loekhan.
It is in the very variety and extent i
of the studies of Lincoln’s character |
that the strength of his hold on the j
imagination of the world is shown.!
Many years have now passed since ]
the great emancipator met his tragic j
death. Through all that period inter- i
pretations of his character—historical, I
analytical, poetical—have steadily in
creased in number. The bare facts of
his unique, yet strangely typical and
significant career, arrange themselves
in perspective like the acts of a great
mythical figure, a King Arthur of the
new world, a lialf-divine hero like
those that we associate with the most
distant antiquity.
But he belonged to no such period.
His age is one of the most amply re
corded in all history, and the records
of his life are so intertwined with
those of men and events quite with
out poetic or heroic suggestion, that
his feet can never be wholly removed,
from the earth. Indeed, it is much
better that no such possibility exists.
We need to know that out of our com
mon life can spring so extraordinary
| an example of the development of
| which our human nature is capable.
When all is said and done, when his
wisdom, his patience, his sacrifice are
fully remembers, we shall delight pre
eminently to recall him as the friend
ly, humorous, accessible lover of man
kind.
ARTIFICIAL EGGS NEXT
While scientists may never be able
to produce a contraption that will
take the place of the time-honored
hen as a layer of real eggs, they have
solved half the problem, so far as
practical results are concerned, it is
said.
Prof. Bunker of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology announces
the successful production of a cheap
substitute for the whites of jeggs,
which he manufactures from beef
serum. This new material is design
ed chiefly for use with other mater
ials in cooking, and for some pur
poses it may in time become a ser
ious competitor of old Biddy’s pro
posals.
Enormous quantities of dried
whites of eggs are shipped to this
country from China for use in the
baking industry and in the making
of candies, so that if Prof. Bunker’s
egg substitute fills these require
ments it may have considerable com
mercial value.
But it will hardly cut much of a
figure on the breakfast table as a
component of the well known and
justly celebrated “ham and.”
Federal Judge Thomas has award
ed the government a judgment for
a million dollars against Gerald
Chapman, mail bandit and condem
ned murderer, who wants to serve a
previous sentence of 25 years before
being hanged. He will now probab
ly want time to earn that million to
pay Uncle Sam.
General comment on the recent car
load of Howard-Jesson bituminous coal
which was distributed about the town
has been exceptionally favorable, ac
cording to local reports.
The first carload of ice for the rail
road’s icehouse on the Seward wharf,
arrived in town Wednesday from Wa
silla. The icehouse has a storage ca
pacity of 300 tons and from this period
on it is expected ice shipments will
continue until the building is full.

'THIEF IN PARADISE
BIG THRILL DRAMA
If you like romance, vivid color,
tense drama and pictorial beauty in
your screen entertainment, don’t miss
‘‘A Thief in Paradise,” being shown at
the Liberty theater for the last time
tonight. The story opens with a vivid
episode in the pearl fisheries of the
China coast and progresses swiftly to
San Francisco, Burlingame and Del
Monte, Calif. It is the story of a man
whom Fate has made a failure, and
who seizes the opportunity to mas
querade as another man in one last
effort to regain his self-respect. His
accomplice in the impersonation is an
Eurasian girl, who falls in love with
him and stops at nothing to wiq him.
In the role of the other man, he meets
and eventually marries another girl.
The dramatic possibilities of this sit
uation are worked out to the ultimate
limit.
Don’t fail to see this picture, as it
is being shown for the last time to
night.
The assessed valuaton of real and
personal property in Seward is esti
mated at 81,300,000, figuring on the ba
sis of fifty per cent of its real value.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
