BUSINESS MEN" AND SELF

The Juneau DisDstch says the "busi- ness man" does not want territorial government. What does it mean by that statement? Thst a few business men of Juneau and few others-7ery few-scattered here and there over the territory do not want it? Probably, for lt knows, or should know, that the business men of Fairbanks, of Nome, of Skagwsy and most of the other towns of Alaska are in favor of 1t, and voted for 1t when they voted for Gale and Wsskey and Swineford for delegates to cungress.
 The Record Miners contention that that business men see nothing but senti- mentality in selt-government for Alas ks's is a libel ou the real business men of this district. The real business men of Alaska do not see "extrs expense" in self-go7ernment for this district. There would be no "eztrs expense" and those who have looked into the ques- tion know 1t.

They see, in short, all the practi- cal benefits from laws made by those who understand the conditions, and they see them administered by men chosen by themselves. They see officials the servants and not the masters. They see practical government.

ROOSEVELT AND THE MACHINE

Some people think that because Prest- dent Roosevelt makes terms with politi- cal machines and bosses, as he did with the stand pat at''congressional machine year ago, and ss he did with the Penn sylvsnis and Ohio machines during the recent campaign, that be is su insin' csre dsmsgogue, but the inference is upvsrranted. There is every reason 10 believe that these Compromises are as distssteful to the president as they are to others, and that they are forced upon him more frequently than be would like 70 have them. He enters into these compscts because he believes they ofer the best means by which results can be obtained, and he is strenuous seeker for results.
 President Roosevelt is intensely practical. He is thorough believer in the old maxim that a half loaf is better thsn DO bread; and, while it has not always appeared immed- estly, after each "com- promise" be has gotten his half loaf and the bread secured has been FOR THE PEOPLE, as he understood their need.
 There is the test of President Roose' velt'S sincerity. He has not traffcked with the machines and bosses to make himself richer or to build up political machine for selt-sgrsndizement or other sinister purposes, hoWbeit he IS admittedly ambitious for power and glory. enjoys the exercise of the one and is ,ickled with the sense of the other.
 President Roosevelt is 8 practical politician of great skill and shrewdness; but be uses his practical experience, shrewdness, skill and sll the power he can develop lbe is persistent culti- vstor of power) in the cause ot good government for the people-as be understands good government. The mschines, the bosses and the special interests divide the powers of govern ment with him. To Let the assistance of their power. when necessary, he will exchange his power. and influence Tor It
 Liken the governmental authorities that be to a board Of arbitration for the purpose of settling the differences be- tween the people and the special inter- ests. President Roosevelt is the arbi,er of the people. The machines and bosses represent the interests. The president, that he might get something for his people, plays practical politics Be gives and takes with the others. Washington did that. Jefferson con- sented 70 it on one notable occasion, hough he regretted that he had done so the remainder of his life. IL was Clay's common rule of action. Lincoln was forced to it, as has been nearly every statesman who has gotten results since the beginning of time.

GUIDED BY THE TREES.

The indians are guided by the trees
more than anything else. If you look
across the lake you will see that the
tops of about half of the tall pine
trees bend slightly toward the east,
says Recreation. There is a distinct
trend to the forest, always toward
the east. On this the Indian relies
implicitly, and it does not deceive him.
Again, If an Indian, travelling in the
forest. makes a loop and intersectS his
own trail. he knows it Immediately,
without seeing any footprints, because
of the character OF the timber.
One of our party, accompanied by an
Indian, Big Paul, as guide. shot
moose. Big Paul had never been In
that country before, and, as 1t was
stormy day. without the sun to guide
him. he became confused in his sense
of direction and had to wander around
somewhat in order to find the camp
again. But on the following day he
led us three miles through the forest
to the carcass. He did not follow the
back trail, but went apparently by in
stinct. ] followed him with my COM

and then TO the left, but he went to the
moose. Now and again he would point
to something he remembered partlcu.
larly. Here" he would say, "is the
rock where you set the compass
down." or. This Is where We were
when we heard the shot" Then he
would point to the ground. where to
our asphalt-pavement-trained senses
there wasn't anything at all to see,
and make no comment, but would
smile at rs little and go on. BY and
by he came out exactly at the moose.
All could get out Of him was that he
went by the trees.
In addition to noticing everything
else. your guide sees trails that you
cannot see, and notices the bitten
twigs that you do not discover have
been browsed OF until he points It out
to you. When twig seems to have

NIGHT UNIVERSITY
HIGHER INSTITUTION OF LEARN.
ING TO RUN FOR THE DAILY
TOlLER.
First School Ever Founded Where
Student Could Pursue Collegiate
Course After Work Of Day
Was Done,

In the larger cities of the land peo-
pie have long been familiar with the
all-night restaurants. the owl cars that
Iun at intervals all night long, and
other all-night features of swift metro
politan life. Recently in New York
there has been opened an all-night
bank, and Chicago and other cities
are arranging to follow the example
thus set, but up to the present time
no one has ever thought of the night
university.
There has been the night school for
instruction in the elementary branch
es of the English language and for
special courses in bookkeeping, Ste
biography and typewriting, mechanical
drawing, ETC., which would fit for a
business career, and then there have
been the educational lecture courses
under the direction of the university
extension work of the various univer-
stiles which have been conducted at
night, and then there has been the
night law school, and the night med
zeal college. where those employed
during the day could fit themselves
for professional life, but there has
never been any school where one
could pursue a complete university
course at right But now it seems
there is to be such a school founded,
and Chicago is the place where it is
to be located. 1t is said all the de-
tails of organization have been per-
fected. the land purchased and the
plans for the buildings drawn. In
corporation papers have been filed at
Springfield asking for charter for the
p Chicago Night University. The in
ctrporators are Mrs. Marguerite War
ren Springer, founder; Prof. l.. D..
Rogers, Prof. Rufus Wright, DR.. Paul
Burmaster, Hon. Willis George Emer-
son. Prof. A. NJ. Killey, Prof. C. G
Smith and DR.. Ida Wright Rogers.
Ground for the buildings has been
purchased on La Sale street, opposite
Lincoln park, an ideal location.
The Chicago Night University will
he open to everybody, young and old,
-ich and poor, male and female. 1t
will offer special advantages to those
who are employed during the day and
who wish to gain an education, either
IN the liberal arts, medicine, the law.
electrical engineering, dentistry. phar.
macy or any other branches taught in
universities.
1t will also have preparatory

the town. The county around is ideal

Bryant had wonderful memory.
Hi5 familiarity with the English poets
was such that when at sea, where he
was always too Ill to read much, he
would beguile the time by reciting
page after page from favorite poems.
He said that, however long the voy-
age, he had never exhausted his re-
sources. He was scarcely less famil-
lar with the languages and literatures
OF Germany, France and Spain. Greece
and Rome. He spoke several living
languages easily and correctly.
