The Skagway chamber of commerce requires no defense against calumny when it is emitted from a source as well known as is the professional knocker. As far as Skagwayans are conc srned the names on the roll call of their busi- ness mems organization speak for them selves for the capacity and integrity of the chamber of commerce. It Is only when the foul falsehOOds are rePub- lished in reputable newspapers, whose editors are not familiar with the situa- tign, that they can do harm.

WILL NOT PERMIT LODGING

In speaking of the proposition for reciprocity in those things which do not compete with the products of the United States, the Oregonian says:
 "As for reciprocity in nOn-eOmpeti- tive products there is no such thing. You might as we'll declare for the dis armament of the peace society or the Iquefactiou of water or the government ownership of the capitol at Washing tou.n
 A time has come when the question of lodging reciprocity will not be tol- erated. A candidate for office must be either for against real trade reciproc- ity, which means that he must favor an exchange of markets, or he must be opposed to further trade expansion.

Chamber of Commerce To

There will be a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night at which the celebration of the Fourth of July will furnish the chief topic ofinterest. It is greatly desired that there be a large attendance at the meeting as the question of celebra- ting on Saturday July 2 instead of Monday July will be discussed.
 This matter has been discussed con- siderably by the business men of the city and the opinion seems to prevail that it will be a good thing to have the sports take place Saturday instead of Monday, as there could be much better attendance secured on that day.

UNIQUE POLITICS

Joseph W. Folk, St. Louis reform prosecution attorney, who is almost cer- tain to become the next governor of Missouri, has amPlifed the ePigram- matic utterance Of former President Cleveland that public office is pub lie trust" According to Mir, Folks idea a public office is not only public trust but a position on a political party committee is party trust. He re- gently said:
 "Party committees should be the servants of the people of the party, not their masters. No oficehOlder ought .o be allowed on the state committee, To permit this inevitably leads to the building up of machine to use the party for personal ends,'
 Mir. Folks principles may appear unique to politicians, but so did those of Mir. Cleveland iu 1882, when he ran for governor of New York. The lat ter's unique" views made him twice president of the United States and stranger things have happened than would be the promotion of Mir. Folk from the executive chair at Jefferson city to that bigger executive chair at Washington.

Russia to gain the harbor at the end

Does Japan want to annex Korea!
No. It is satisfied to maintain Ke-
rea's sovereignty with the expectation
that its natural advantages of stu.
alton will give 1t the lions share OF
Korea's trade.
When did the trouble between ia
pan and Russia begin?
IL began in 1895 when by war Japan
had forced China to recognize Korea's
independence and to grant Japan the
south end of Manchuria. Russia fore
ed Japan to give up Manchuria, seized
the surrendered territory and secur-
ed a timber cutting concession in the
Yalu valley in Korea.
What brought on the present cri@-
is?
Last year Russia advanced the
claim that the timber concession ex-
tends to the valleys of all rivers tribI-

to annex Korea?
Il did not. But Japan took the
ground that its procedure meant vir-
tual annexation and SO issued a pro-
test.

Last Friday, February ~. was the
95th anniversary of the birth of Alb
raham Lincoln, the great emancipa.
tor and ideal American. The day was
fittingly observed in various parts of
the country and many beautiful trib.
utes were paid to the life and charac,
ter of the man. by some. indeed, who
knew him well. who had heard his
voice and felt the warmth of his
handshake.
Time does not seem 10 dim the lus
ter or halo that surrounds this great
character. As the years recede the
man and his deeds appear to expant
and fill completely the intervening
space between his birth and thu
present.
AS much as we revere the name OF
Washington and as willing as we ar,
to concede him first place in tn,
hearts of his countrymen. there wa.
something so pathetic. so brave ant
noble in the early struggle of Abra
ham Lincoln for an education that II
some respects his name Is dearel

ington. The latter vas one of tn,
richest men of his time. aristocratic
and, as was the custom. a slave
holder. For all that he was al
American patriot without guile
brave. able and true.
Abraham Lincoln was born in pov
erty, in a cabin without a floor ant
hardly a door. He lived the life O.
the lowly, he knew their trials ant
their sorrows. and knowing them h,
never forgot them. But nature wa,
generous with him in two ways. II,
was endowed with physical and men
tai strength and he brought then
both into play In his struggle.
against adversely and the obstacles
that beset his pathway to a well
earned fame.
The children of the poor will new

life. how he read books by the ligh

II should prove an inspiration t.
many. who, in these modern times
see fiji 10 complain of their disadvan
tages.
But there can be but one Abraham
Lincoln. Time came when the worlt
needed such a man. He met the de
mand; he filed the measure. II,
was large in brain and heart. ant

ungainliness was but another instanc,
