duct, the distinction that marks off
those who do well and wisely from
those who do i'll and foolishly. There
are good citizens and bad citizens in
every class as in every locality. and the
attitude of decent people toward great
public and social questions should be
determined. not by the accidental ques-
lions of employment or locality, but
by those deep-set principles which
represent the innermost souls OF men.
The failure in public and in private
life thus to treat each man on his own
merits, the recognition of this Govern
ment as being either for the poor as
such. or for the rich as such. would
prove fatal to our republic, as such fail
ure and such recognition have always
proved fatal in the past to other re-
publics. A healthy republican govern
ment must rest upon individuals. not
upon classes or sections. AS soon as
it becomes government by a class or
by a section it departs from the old
American ideal.
Downfall of Republics.
II Is, OF course the mereSt JrulSm TO
say that free institutions are of avail
only TO people who possess the high

take advantage of sucn institutions.
The century that has just closed has
witnessed many and lamentable in
stances in which people have seized a
government free in form, or have had
ii bestowed upon them, and yet have
permitted it under the forms of liberty
to become some species of despotism
or anarchy because they did not have
in them the power to make this seem

stances the seeming liberty may be
supplanted by a tyranny or desPot.s7a

In either case the same goal is reached.

Lack Of Courage Fatal.

- ON@NbN oN0As
Many qualities are needed by a PEG
I pie which would preserve the power OF
| government in fact as well as in
name. Among these qualities are fore
! thought, shrewdness. self-restraint. the
courage which refuses TO abandon ones
| own rights. and the disinterested and
kindly good sense which enables one 10
do justice TO the rights of others. Lack
Of strength and lack of courage unfit
men for government on the one
hand; and on the other, brutal AFRO
gance, envy. in short, any manifesto
ton Of the spirit of selfish disregard,
whether OF ones own duties or OF the
rights OF others, are equally fatal
In the history OF mankind many re-
publics have arisen. have fiourished for
a less or greater time, and then have
fallen because their citizens lost the
power of governing themselves and
thereby OF governing their state and
in no way has this loss OF power been
so often and so clearly shown as in the
tendency TO turn the government into q
government primarily for the benefit OF
one class instead of a government for
the benefit Of the people as a whole.
Again and again in the republics of an
eient Greece, in those of medieval italy
and medieval Flanders, this tendency
was shown. and wherever the tendency
became habit it invariably and in
evitably proved fatal to the state. In
the final result it mattered not one
whit whether the movement was in favor
of one class or OF another.
Outcome Equally Disastrous.
The outcome was equally fatal. whether
the country fell into the hands of a
wealthy oligarchy which exploited the
poor or whether it fell under the domi
nation of a turbulent mob which pIund-
cred the rich. In both cases there re-
suited violent alterations between ty-
ranny and disorder. and final complete
loss of liberty TO all citizenss-destruc
tion in the end overtaking the class
which had for the moment been victor
ious as well as that which had momen-
tarily been defeated. The death kneu
of the republic had rung as soon as
the active power became lodged in the
hands of those who sought. not to do
justice 10 all citizens rich and poor
alike. but TO stand for one special class
and for its interest as opposed to the
interests of others.
The reason why our future is as
sured lies in the fact that our people
are genuinely skilled in and fitted for
elf-government. and, therefore, will
spurn the leadership of those who seek
10 excite this ferocious and foolish
class antagOnism. The average Ameri-
can knows not only that he himself in
tends TO do about what is right, but
that his average fellow -countryman has
the same intention and the same power
TO make his intention effective He
knows. whether he be business man, pro-
fessional man, farmer. mechanic, en-
ployer. or wage-worker, that the well
fare of each Of these men is bound UP
with the welfare of all the others: that
each is neighbor to the other. is actual

fundamentally the same ideals, and that
all alike have much the same virtues
and the same faults.

children's Coughs and Colds.

Mrs. Joe MeGrath, 327 E. 1st St. Hutchinson, Kan, writes: "Ihave given Ballard's Horehound Syrup to my children for coughs and colds for the past four years, and find it the best medicine I have ever used." Unlike many cough syrups, it contains no opium, but will soothe and heal any disease of the throat or lungs quicker than any other remedy. 25c, soc and S1.OO at J. Heubner's Drug Store.

The Kayak District.

The Kayak district is the only oil dis trict in Alaska that has passed beyond the problematical stage, though Cooks Inlet and Cold Bay will probably be es- tablished as future producing points before the end of the present season.
 The Kayak district covers an area of about seventy miles along the coast of Southern Alaska, extending from the main St. Elias range on the north and the Malaspina glacier on the east to Prince William Sound on the west and the Gulf of Alaska on the south.
 The general topography of the coun- try is level or slightly rolling, with a few scattered hills, ranging from one to two hundred feet in height. A line of foothills, however, lying near the glacier, rise to height of between two and three thousand feet.
 The geological formation is broken and irregular, showing signs of violent eruption. Light gray shale and slate are found ali over the region where oil seepages appear, and this embraces the entire area named, including lowlands, hills and mud flats, with the exception of considerable extent of ground leading up to the glacier. This shale formation ends, apparently, west of Kostrakral Lake, and English experts pronounced this to be the limit of the oil belt. Sufficient indications seem to have been found, however, to convince the Alaska Development company of the presence of oil some distance east and south of that point, as they have staked the entire area surrounding the lake and reaching out several miles in both directions.
 At Cape Sucking, point about four teen miles east of Kayak, is another tract of oil land. Much of this land has also been staked by the Alaska De- velopment company, and this is one of the points at which that company in- tends doing extensive work during the present season. Some difficulty will probably be experienced during the early stages of work at this particular point, owing to the absence of any bar bor nearer than Kayak, and the inter- vention of a portion of Malispina gla- cier between the oil field and that har- bor. This difficulty will be permanent ly overcome, however, in the transport ing of oil by laying pipe line along the coast, through which the oil will be conveyed to steamers in Controller Bay.
 Oil has also been found on Big Kayak Island, and the entire area of the island as we'll as every foot of ground in the entire district, has been staked.-North- western Miner.

FORECASTS BY LEADERS
Fusion Leaders Confident on EUe OF

Buoyancy prevailed in the fusion ranks every
where in Brooklyn yesterday. 1t came from the
irresistible conviction that Low would carry 'he
borough by majority of 5000 to-day Ihese nave
been figures that the campaign managers nave
been sticking to for a week more. but the same
confidence has not been expressed by everybody IN
the rank and file. On Saturday there were some
signs of disbursement Yesterday. however, vic
tory for Low seemed to be in the air.
Jacob Bremen, chairman of the Republican cam
pagn committee. said:
Things look better to-day than they nave ever
looked Unless there is cyclone or an earthquake
will win tomorrow. The campaign IS over. we
satisfied with what We have DONE ana await
the result with confidence.
Frank Harvey Field, chairman OF the Citizens
Union Campaign Committee. had this last word:
Good government in this city now De deIeated
