TO PREVENT SLIPPING.

In his message Mayor Clark sug-
gested that the cement sidewalks be
bushed-hammered to prevent slipping
That is good when the walks are not
covered with snow and ice, as they now
are. When the walks are so covered the
best way to avoid slipping is to step
short and put your foot down squarely.
But slippery sidewalks are not the
only things on which people slip in this
world Whatever walk in life they may
choose there is always danger of Slip
ping, for each temptation along life's
walks is as a slippery sidewalk. And
why do men so often slip UP on them?
Because they undertake to step too far
and in trying to bring one foot up the
other slips; their feet are not put down
squarely. In the race of life men try
and step too far in their haste to reach
the great prizes, and the majority Of
them slip, for their muscles are
strained and they lose partial control
of them. \ man becomes ambitious So
cially and in trying to reach heights
where others are he over-strains him
self by stepping too far; the conse-
quence is that he slips and falls down,
and very rarely is there any one to help
him to his feet, and even if there is he
finds himself bruised. if not manned,
for life. 1t is the same when man
becomes over-ambitious in politics.
More men slip there because they step
too far than almost anywhere else. The
man who steps too far can never put his
foot down squarely and firmly. A man
should walk squarely and firmly
through life, and every temptation that
arises he should be able to put his foot
sQuarely down on, and then he will not
slip. To take short steps and put the
feet squareIy down is the surest way Of
making genuine progress in this world,
for it enables one to keep his balance,
and to keep ones balance is to keep
ones head. It is but another way of
saying, Make haste slowly

AS the offering of the snuff box was

purpose. But the private cuspidor

PERPETUAL RELIEF FOR KLON.
DIKERS.

| Does General Merriam, commanding
the department of the Columbia, appre-
ciate the humor of his remarks, when
he says, concerning relief for the Klon-
dileers:
From present indications greater
relief expedition will be needed next
winter than this Hundreds are already
embarking for the gold fields without
more than sufficient supplies to last
during the summers prospecting. 1t
appears that thousands more are on the
way in a similar condition. While many
may come out at the end of the season,
others will stay with the hope of pur-
chasing supplies. The result may be
disastrous.
Therefore. it is my opinion that the
! Alaskan detachment of the army could
not be better employed than to watch
the trails and tally the men and pro
visions passing to the interior.
THE government would then have
definite information as to whether there
would be want or suffering in the Alas
kan territory next winter"
What General Merriam says about
the possibility of having to send more
relief expeditions to the Klondike next
winter is the greatest objection to send
ing one this winter. The only possible
Justification Cor the government send
ing any relief expedition to the Klon-
dixie is the fact, or supposed fact, that
there are several thousand American
citizens there who are in danger of
starving to death. 1t is also said that
those who rushed in last summer and
fall did not know the conditions, and
so We're not fully provided; there is
more excuse than truth in such state
ments. But it will be impossible hence
forth TO make any such statements
about those who shall go into the Klon-
dixie the coming summer unprovided.
II the government is going to constitute
itself an agent for the perpetual relief
of the improvident TO go to the Klon-
dixie with inadequate food supplies. all
who 90 in will be improvident or ex-
ceedingly wise for they they will say:
why should we worry about food sup
plies, when the government is making
ample preparations for furnishing US
with food?"
If there is no better use for the Unit
ed States army in Alaska than to keep
tally on the men who so into the Klon-
dixie and what amount of supplies they
carry. it had better be withdrawn.
This year Canada will admit relief
supplies for the Klondike free of duty,
but it cannot be expected that she will
let perennial relief supplies in duty
free; that would be expecting too much
If the government is going in for
paternalism, it had better be thorough
about it, and provide relief supplies for
the imDrovident everywhere through
out this country. If people want to
rush into the Klondike i'll prepared,
having full knowledge of the condi-
tiCns that obtain there, and having
been fully warned of what to expect,
they should be allowed to go and take
the consequence of their folly.
But General Merriam's suggestion
that preparation be made for relief
expeditions next year is the most hui
morous thing we have seen for a very
long time And he is so unconscious of
it, tool
