Naughty they said he was, at first, severe;
But owned. as all men owned, the steady hand
Upon the bride, patient to command,
Priced. as all prize, the justice pure FROM fear,
And learned to honor first, then love him, then
revere,
Such power there Is in clear eyed self restraint,
Aud purpose clean as light from every selfsl,
faint
o man Of silent mood
stranger among strangers then,
How art thou since renowned the Great, the Good,
Familiar MS the day In all the homes Of men!
The winged years, that winnow praise and blame,
Blow many names out; they but fan to flame
The self renewing splendors of thy fame.
Soldier and statesman rarest unison;
High poised example of great duties done
Simply as breathing, worlds honors worn
AS life's Indifferent gifts to all men born;
Dumb for himself, unless 1t were to God
But for his barefoot soldiers eloquent
Irampng the snow to coral where they trod,
Held by his awe in hollow eyed content;
Modest. yet firm as Natures self; unbalanced
Save by the men his nobler temper shamed
Not honored then or now because he wooed
The popular voice. but that he still withstood;
Broad minded, higher souIed there Is but one
Who wos all this and ours, and all mems

ANNUAL MESSAGE
 TO THE CONGRESS
About 400 Words Devoted to AIaSka'S NeedS But no Reference Made to Territorial Government or Delegate to Con.
 greSS-An Able Document.

Washington, D. C., Dec 7.-The first regular session of the ffty-eighth con- gress convened today, when President Roosevelt's annual message was read No mention was made of territorial government for Alaska or of delegate in congress for the territory. The message is admittedly an able dOcu- ment, and deals particularly with the Panama situation, declaring that the government took the only honorable course in recognizing the Panama re- public and entering into the canal treaty. The message is outspoken on the question of labor and capital, and guarantees the rights of each.
 The Alaska boundary decision is re- viewed and the members of the com mission congratulated. An appropria tion is asked for the field work-mark- ing the line.
 An appropriation is asked to press the prosecution of parties implicated in land and postal frauds.
 The St. Louis and Portland exposi tions are commended, and about 400 words are devoted to Alaska's needs. The following is the gist of the mes sage relating to Alaska:
The Nome nugget., 1904-01-30

Special attention is given to the i'm portance of the cable, and recommends tion is made that it be immediately continued westward from Sitka. The president states that Alaska is rapidly developing and has great future as sured: it's mineral wealth is hardly tapped, and the fisheries. if wisely handled and kept under government control, will be another great source of wealth. He considers that Alaska is fitted for farming and stock raising, and proposes that land laws should be enacted and surveys immediately be- gun. The coal land laws should be amended so every man may make loca- tiOnS and secure patent under the ex. elusive control of the government. He says wagon roads should be built, trails and railroads promoted in all legiti- mate ways, and that more lighthouses should be built on the coast.
 He suggests that attention be paid to Indian needs and help extended them in adapting themselves to the new con- ditions of the country.
 He recommends that a commission be appointed to investigate conditions and needs of protection of salmon fisheries.

Bernier expects to be three or four years in the Arctic.
 The vessel is expected to arrive at Port Clarence about August 10 next and from there she will sail through Bering straits to Wrangell island, and as much farther north as possible, and will then drift with the ice.

When the district court opened this morning City Attorney McGinn, who appeared for the city councilmen who are asked to show cause why the an nual municipal election should not be held at the usual time, stated that he had not had time to prepare himself for this case, and he asked that it go over, and the court postponed the hearing until next Wednesday morn- ing.
 Ut is somewhat strange that the city attorney was not prepared to try the case at Once," said we'll known citi- zen this morning 'Some of the coun- cilmen who wish to hold over for an- other six months have stated that they were acting on the advice of the city attorney, who had looked thoroughly into the law.
 "There is report abroad, however, that they now want to hedge, and it may be that they intend to call spe- cial election for the short term at the next meeting of the city council on Monday evening""
 Another report is to the effect that the plan is for two or three of the four "holdovers" to resign" thus leaving the council without quorum. This,

But no councilman can resign, it is alleged on excellent authority, if his resignation would leave the body without quo rum; hence it will be evident that if any of these councilmen wish to resign they will first have to do their duty.
