The publication by the Alaska Geograph-
icai Society of Senator Summers speech.
delivered In the senate IN favor or tn.
purchase Of Alaska is very timely. II Is
stu valuable information to those who
wish to be well informed upon Alaska and
shows what u frsso statesman Summer real
iy. II Is also an opportune time for
its publication hy reason of the new prob
lens which have 80 suddenly arisen. If
we should so back To the records and hunt
up the dtSparaxing statements spoken and
written concerning Alaska IN and out OF
congress. we would understand why the
same Kind OF Spirit IL now manifested re-
earsing III. control of new territory, yet
today there could hardy re found a cor
porals guard in the United States who
wou,d favor the sale Of Alaska 10 any
other power or corporation for many mil
lions more than the sum paid FOR IT,
Thoughtful ana hopeful men viii find
they have nothing fo fear when they pom
der over Summers great speech and take
into consideration the events which have
transptr.d since the purchase 81 Alaska

somebody recalled the tale of the Hon.
Alfonso Hart. at one time lieutenant
governor Of Ohio
Hart was on the stump for Foraker
and was putting in his best licks in tho
rural districts. One afternoon he tao
kled a lot of Medina county farmers
and opened upon them in his usual way.
Friends. 3" he said, II know you are
sensible, hard headed lot of honest
toilers. You are not to be moved by
sophistry or foolish deceptions. have
only to look around me to assure myself
that you know good thing when you
see it. Now, let MS suppose one OF you
farmers has hired man. You may feel
little doubt Of him at the outset, but
you give him a fair trial. You like him
so well that you keep him another year.
And he serves you in way that IN
sures his Encouragement for still anoth-
er year and then another. ISL t that
| good business principle?'
Mr.. Hart paused and smiled down al
his listeners. Before lie could resume
however, a shrill voice from the middle
cf the crowd interrupted him.
Say" said the voice, 'hOw is /
when the hired man gets to thinkin h.
owns the hull darned farnr''
1t took the wind all out of Mr.. Hart
as he himself afterward admitted. =
