President Roosevelt's speech AT Sea+-
tie was striking and nnemora Bile one
IN the picture he drew of the future
possibilities of Alaska The president
mas shown on different occasions that he
possesses the high quality of states
fnanshlp OF being able to see coming
events in his minds eye and to forecast
the future with the confidence that
comes OF conviction. It is an exercise
OF imagination which, when controlled

Besides possessing this kind of ina .

historical studies have been such as to
give MIN unbOunded confidence in the
growth of the republic and the uncon-
querable spirit and expansive power of
the American people. He has traVersed
the field of national expansion from its
beginning, and some of his books show
how thoroughly imbued he is with its
spirit. His Life Of Thomas H Ben

are full of 1t. In his speech at St
Louis ne gave the acquisition of Louis
lana new irIerest by the wealth of his

At Portland Ore, he recalled 1.-The
greatest single pioneering feat on this
contInent-the voyage across the CONT

ed out the ripe craftsmanship of JEFF
feFs0n and his fellows by giving to the
United States all of the domain between
the Mississippi and the Pacific and re-
minded his hearers that they were part

and Infinitely greater in it's future"
So arguing from the past. his magma
ton constantly projects itself in the
future.
In Washington the president got his
first sight of Puget sound. the great in
land sea that extents a hundred miles
into the state. This was enough to
rouse the magma ton of a much duller
man than Mr. Roosevelt. Seattle is
three thousand miles from Washington
city. Tt was about q hundred years
ago that the Lewis and Clark explor-
ing expedition first demonstrated that
that part of the continent could be
reached overland. It was nearly fifty
years later before our title to Oregon
and Washington was confirmed. Until
1886 England claimed all that region.

Puget sound to the nOFthWard towards
Alaska. although from Seattle TO Skag-
way is 200 miles by water, and to

the president said:

Ananias Fisher His Diary. May 80.
This is the story of a man: a printer
by trade and jack of all trades in the
bargain. Push the Printer he might be
called, for that is not his name. He is
just the sort of man that Ebert Hub
bard. Fra Elbertus, would like to Sit

he came to Topeka. He had been work.

The altitude was too high. The air
was too thin. There wasn't enough solid
oxygen for him to breath and get his
fill
The Printer came to town with a head
full of ideas, heart chock up with de-
termination, an apron full of defaced
type, an old press that had to be kick
ed twice for every impression and
can of almost petrified ink.
The Printer didn't have large stock
with which to compete with the large
printing houses in the city but he had
an idea that with him there was 70

anything. He could print red hand bills
with tomato catsup, if he didn't happen
to have red ink, and he could use the
reverse side of wall paper if he didn't
happen to have just the right kind of
paper in stock.
Soon after the printer came to To-
peka the Karnival Knights began do
