A flash of lightning in the night will
reveal what years of daylight have
not discovered to the eye. And so the
flash of the Spanish war revealed
that lofty courage and devotion
which the American heart loves and
which you nave met again to decorate
and recognize. His qualities do not
need to be retold, for no man in. that
exalted place since Lincoln has been
better known in every household in
the Land. He is not conservative,
If conservatism means waiting till
it is too late. He is not wise, if wis
dom is to count thing hundred
times when once will do. There is no
regret so keen, in man or country, as
that which follows an opportunity un.
embraced. Fortune scars with high
and rapid wing, and whoever brings
it down must shoot with accuracy
and speed. Only the man with steady
eye and nerve and the courage TO
pull the trigger brings the largest op-
portunities TO the ground. He does
not always listen while all the sages
speak, but every day at nightfall be-
holds some record which II not com
plete has been at least pursued with
conscience and intrepid dissolution.
He is no slender flower swaying in
the wind, but that heroic fibre which
is best nurtured by the mountains
and the snow. He spends little time
in review, for that he knows can be
done by the schools. A statesman
graphing with the living problems Of
the hour he gropes but little in the
past. He believes in going ahead. He
believes that in shaping the destinies
of this great republic, hope is a
higher impulse than regret He be /
lieves that preparation for future
triumphs is a more important duty
than an inventory OF the past mis-
takes. A profound student OF history
he is today the greatest history max
er in the world With the instincts
OF the scholar, he is yet forced from ,
the scholars pursuits by those SUI

degree for those great world currents
now rushing past with larger vol

for many years before. The fate OF
nations is still decided by their wars.

WHAT BECAME OF THE MONEY?

According to a circular letter issued by
the Good Government Club to the voters of
Nome the city of Nome's present indebted
These warrants are heavily discounted. The
present city council has received sos, 900 in
cash during the present term, and the ques
ton is asked, ''What is there to show for it
except city hall and running expenses p"
The circular further states 'The very
ground upon which the city stands, and up
on which is your property, is in danger of
being absorbed by persons claiming it as
mineral ground Patents have been applied
for, for practically all the land within the
city limits. Our city council with city
attorney at a salary of $50 per month, has
expended uselessly over 81, 900 in extra at
torney's fees and expenses to fight these
applications in the land Office The city's
application for patent has been rejected
by the land Office by reason of the improper
manner in which they were prepared I'm
less the utmost energy and judgment be
used by the city the patents applied for by
private individually will be obtained, and

ent to either pay him or get off his ground. ="
These are strong statements and should
be strenuous arguments for better admins
tration of municipal affairs. The chairman
of the finance committee recently told at a
meeting of the city council what had been
accomplished by that body since they were
indicted into office He used words only
neither facts nor figures were forthcoming.
1t would, therefore, seem, if the present
council wishes to defend themselves from
the charges of gross extravaganza and mis-
management of municipal affairs, which are
daily made, the remedy lies in their own
hands. Let them produce detailed and
truthful statement showing the various
channels into which $50, 900 has been divert

A PROSPEROUS SEASON.

1t seems to be the consensus of opinion
that Nome and this section will have pros
porous season during the coming summer.
Let us hope SO. Most of us can stand lit
tie prosperity. The outlook for an "early
spring is encouraging unless all signs fail,
which they sometimes do. In fact, at the
present writing, the snow is disappearing at
an all to rapid rate, which augurs badly for
the spring cleanup. Given favorable con-
ditiOns, one of the most important being
plenty of water, the spring cleanup will be
a most satisfactory one, and the largest, by
far, in the history of Seward peninsula. A
lack of water will bring great disappoint-
ment and will be a serious set back
The volume of work next summer also
promises to be larger than ever before.
Several new and bona tide ditch propositions
will be undertaken and completed, and rail
road building will be prosecuted as never
before. Better and faster steamships will
connect Nome with the outside The devel-
opments in most of the mining districts will
be on a greater scale than ever before.
Capital is coming this way, and it should be
encouraged to remain. Many people are
also coming to this section with we'll defined
purposes, either to engage in mining or in
legitimate business. Therefore, taking il
all around, the outlook seems to be brighter
| than ever before

istic rulers, and the whole school of imperi-
alistic craftsmanship that now thrives among
us, look chiefly toward immediate 'markets'
and supremacy which shall be for the spe-
cal benefit of our commercial, imperial
selves rather than for Russia, whose genius
for monopolizng a fat thing is so much to
our distaste. In baking Russia in a war
with Japan, they do not appear to discern
that they would also be checking the adj
vance of the white race as whole, and rails
ing Japan to a height where probably she
could lead Asia and even throw back the
Western invasion of the East.

mans refusal to give women the rights and
privileges to which they are entitled, women
are today in AS branches of business and in
instances showing more ability than men,
"In one of the greatest financial instltu
tions of New York. said the doctor, mot
long ago, a well known man, drawing sal
airy of $4,000 a year, suffered a nervous
collapse The directors selected the young
woman who for ten years had been the ste
nographer She, the directors told me, had
done better work than the man she succeed
ed, and is doing it for $4,000 year. In
fifty years hence women will know more
than men. They have more time to read
and study, and they are improving their
time. Eventually they will vote and tell
the men for whom they shall vote. Eventu-
ally all the universities will be co-educa-
tional, and the women will carry off all the
prizes"
Perhaps. There is some truth and con-
siderable sophistry in DR.. Hills statements
The young woman who is filling S25 ,00O-a-
year position for 900 may be doing good
work. No doubt she is, but among labor
unions that same energetic, capable young
woman would be blacklisted. However, the
present generation of men need have little
fear of women compelling them to wear
stays and do the housewOrk while they
rustic the grub.

"BEWARE OF WOMEN"

Rev. DR.. Hills of New York, who
breaches to a rich congregation in Ply
mouth church, has been advising men to
beware of women. DR.. Hills referred to
women as competitors of men in the various
branches of industrial life, and not to the
wiles and snares of the female sex, upon
which Solomon expostulated from personal
experience. eff you do not want women to
outstrip you in the industrial race" DR..
Hills said to the young men of his flock,

want fifty cents, you would better stop
drinking poor whisky and quit gambling at
race tracks and in pool rooms" The rev.

THE POSITION OF JAPAN.

From the Oriental viewpoint, the success
of Japan in beating back Russia would most
certainly be desirable Japan is Oriental to
the core, despite the Western improvements
which she has been bright enough and Wig
orous enough to take on during the past
generation; and the hope of the backward
and ancient East in rescuing itself from the
Western domination rests in Japans leader
ship. Give Japan decided victory in war
with Russia, enabling her to establish her
self firmly in Corea and restore Manchura
to Chinaif she did not keep it herself
and what would be the effect upon the ORR
entail mind: Japanese prestige in Pekin
and China would equal, if it did not over
shadow that of all Europe and America, and
the Japanese ambition to modernize China
and save it, under japanese leadership
from the political supremacy of the white
races would become the most important fea-
ture of the situation in the Far East, says
the Springfield Republican.
Is it probable that England and the
United States, whose policy is now defined
in the phrases, "the open door" and "the
integrity of China" would be able to pre-
vent victorious Japan from taking the
leadership in a regeneration of the whole
Orient and in inspiring every Oriental race
now held in subsection, such as the HinduS
and Filipinos, with the idea that the white
mans rule could be ended? The possible
psychological effect upon the Oriental mind
of Japanese triumph in arms over a great
nd ,rh off q
chance for interesting speculation but that
aside. In case japanese leadership should
reinvgOrate China and bring the East into
determined opposition to the aggressiOns of
the West, what would become of Western
commercial explorations whether through
National fOrays or ''the open door," Would
not China reassert it's right to levy it's own
tariffs regardless of foreign desires or inter.
ests, as we do in America: and how long
would Japan resist the temptation to acquire
special commercial privileges at the expense
of the distant Western peoples? And why
should we or the British resist tendency
of the Orient to come to itself and mobilize
it's resources, under japanese direction, il
the idea of the integrity of China commends
itself to our minds?
The truth is that craftsmanship is con
trolled largely by short views. British and
American statesmen today are sympathetic
with Japan because of the selfish dread
which one feels for a formidable rival in
fortune hunting. The Republican also feels
considerable sympathy for Japan, but for q
different reason. In our view the Orient
has right to govern itself and to save it
self, if it can, from the degradation of being
conquered, partitioned and worked by

For the first time since his Undue
ton into the Office of chief executive
Gov. Vardaman in the afternoon exer
cised the veto power The bill which
comes under the ban of his disap.
proval is the appropriation measure
for the State Normal School, ne
gro educational institution located at
Holly Springs. The governors prin-
cipal reason for vetoing the bill is
that, in his opinion, the school does
not give the proper kind of education
for the negro.
After the reading of the message in
the house a motion was made and
adopted to make the matter the spe-
cial order for the succeeding day,
when an effort will be launched by
the members who are opposed to the
governors ideas on the negro question,
to pass the bill over his veto.
On passage the normal school ap-
preparation went through the house
by a vote of 70 to 20, and it passed
the senate by a vote of rs to 10. A
two-thirds vote will be required to
carry it over the governors veto.

members were opposed to the measure
on the ground that it proposed no def

pest, but the bill finally passed.

Code Commission Bill,

The code commission bill is now
ready for the governors signature. At
one time it looked as If revised codi-
fication Of the States laws, which is
so much needed, would not be Sc
cured. The house and the senate were
at outs on this question, but by the
appointment of conference committees
an adjustment of the differences was
secured. The senate amended the
house bill in two particulars, raising
the salary Of the commissioners to
$4,000 year, and made them one
elected by the house, one by the SEN
ate and one appointed by the COVER
nor. The house accepted the amend
ment in regard to the salaries and
the senate withdrew its amendment in
regard to the method of selecting the
commissioners, allowing them to be
chosen by the governor as the original
house bill provided.
