<RA OW that another city election is promised, the names of a.num-.
 ber of we'll known citizens are mentioned for cOuncilmanic and school trustee hOnors. Amorg these are sev- eral who ars-well and favorably known. For instance, there is Joe JOurden, who has had more good and. ill luck in Alaska than falls to the lot of the average Alaskan, and, God knows, most of us have had our full share of both. The writer first became ac- quainted with Joe on the Yukon river. Joe gave him q friendly tip to keep off certain sandbar in4the mighty Yukon on certain spring morning in June, 1898; but the warning was unheeded, and no regrets have ever been ex- pressed, for the genial JOe's acquaint- ance, which has since matured into friendship. was there made. Joe prob. ably knows more about sandbars and water. being in the liquor business. than any other man in Nome, having lost small fortune in the Xn,sonfiver. He is also an expert on fire matters, having been thrice burned out.-twice in Dawson, once in Nome. It is, there- fore, not to. be wondered that his friends are urging him to 'stanI' for the city council as the English say. They probably want him for chairman of :. the ire committee.

OF the proud Caucasian race? How
degrading it seems to penalize merit
and unleash against it twin monsters
OF prejudice and hatred!
President Roosevelt, if there is any
one having patent of nobility through
birth, has right to deem himself an
aristocrat Of aristocrats He is no
northern mudsill. but by direct descent
draws his blood from one of the old
est and most conspicuous of the knick-
erbocker families. But long ago his
soul awoke to the truth that rank is
but the guinea's stamp and mans the
gowd for a that and he has had the
strength of will to follow the doctrine
He asks before comforting his friend
ship, not whether a man be rich or
poor, or obscure or famed, white or
colored, but whether he is man. Let
praise be given that there are enough
in this country who approve this stand
ard to make it unnecessary for either
the president or his recent guest to
be disturbed in the slightest degree by
the ebullitions Of prejudice. President
Roosevelt entertained Booker Wash
ington, not as he was colored man,
but as he was a man of worth and
character, meriting the same honor
that would be accorded to any other
person of like achievement.

ROOSEVELT & WASHINGTON

One day last week President
Roosevelt invited Prof. Booker
T. Washington to dine with him
at his home in the White House,
which according to the newspa-
pers is the first instance in the
history of our country where any
PRESIDENT ever invited a colored
man to dine at his private table
and to receive him as his guest;
and simply for this act many Of
the southern papers, statesmen
and high officials are denouncing
the president, and seemingly
very indignant over the matter.
In another part Of the paper we
print some of their utterances,
also an able editorial from the
Daily Leader of this.city which
voices our sentiments exactly. It
is indeed a pity that our country
is to have such shallow, narrow,
selfish, prejudice, mean class of
so called American citizens, who
claim to be leaders and statesmen
from a certain part of the United
States. Certainly if God himself
should come down here and have
a colored gentleman to sit down
at the Lords supper, those pro-
fessed southern christians would
refuse heaven. If man cannot
be taken for his honesty, charac-
ter and ability rather then his
color, then there is nothing IN
this merit system.
