This is the time of year when the residents of the western part of town mostly need a walk con- meeting Stikine Avenue with Front Street. This walk should be built for several reasons. First, there is no reason why the people should be compelled to walk an extra hun dred yards in all kinds of weather Cup hill at that) in order to reach the business part of town, when a paltry $500 or $400 will construct a substantial walk along the shore line on a level. Second, every ar- ticle of freight, coal or provisions going to the west end of town must be taken over the hill, and during freezing weather the present route is so slippery as to make it danger ous to take a heavy load. Third, if fire should occur in this end of town, the time which would neces- sarily be required to drag the heavy apparatus over that hill would give the flames sufficient headway to make it unmanageable, and would dossibly result in the total destruc- tion of this end of town. A num- Der of the citizens of this part of town have offered to contribute quite literally of money and work, and with the help of some of the merchants who often have to de- liver loads of merchandise in this part of town, good walk can be built. The customs department has granted permission to construct the walk along the reserve, and it would require but little hustling to put the walk in. If the walk is not built, some man will establish a general store in this end of town and get almost the solid patronage of west end residents.

The other day, down in Porto Rico, the president of the United States was in a large crowd on a river bank, when one of the people who were doing him honor was thrown into the stream from a fractious horse. The president of the United States started to pull off his coat to go to the aid of the unfortunate, when the unlucky one was pulled from the torrent by other means. This is Theodore Roosevelt all over. He is a strong, vigorous, athlelic, well-trained man, healthy, hearty and ready at all times to use his splendid faculties for the good of anyone in need. He has none of the false dignity that attaches to his pre-eminent office; he is just a plain, whole-souled man, who does not draw fool lines of demarcation between himself end the world of men He is a typical American, view him from what standpoint you will.

in the office of the commissioner. In case of fire, it is necessary to load these records onto a cart or some other vehicle in order to get them to place of safety. There is also money to be accounted for ct times, and this must be placed in private safes about town. This is condition for which there is no excuse, especially since the govern ment is go strict about the account ing which must be made by it's representatives. 4 big yyult, either of steel, stone or brick, should be provided where the moneys and valuable documents could bs kept and where moth and rust do not corrupt nor thieves break through and steal. Such a vault could be used by the customs officers, the commissioner and the marshal, and could easily be built at either of these officers headquarters, But we should rather see it installed in new building erected on the site now occupied by the shell known as the United States court house.

 On insular affairs the president recommends citizenship for the Porto Ricans; lower tariff rates, or free trade, for the Philippines; pro- vision for educational and internal improvements in Hawaii, and the consolidation of all insular affaiis in one department of the govern ment, preferably the department of state or the department of war. A complete reorganization of Alaska's governmental system is recom- mended.
 The message contains about 2S,- 900 words. It is healthful and helpful in tone, simple in style, and, marked by the presidents pronounced tendency to moralize on public questions, should prove of intimate interest to the Ameri- can people.

Under the caption of "The Gen. tleman From Alaska" the Seattle P.-I. says: "The Hon. Frank H. Waskey, one of the delegates in congress from Alaska, seems to be real sensation at the national capital; according to MT. Clark's advices, "a good many persons, even among the well-informed class, seem to regard it as mighty strange that so remote a region as Alaska should have a representative in congress-" and MT. Waskey is said to be the object of much amiable curiosity. They express the usual surprise, too, when he tells them it is milder in winter along the coast region of Alaska than it is in the nations capital, which shows what a big country this is. But why should MT, Waskey's presence at the national capital rouse so much emiable curiosity? What manner of men did the people of the na- tional capital expect from Alaska? Alaska is real clay; like the rest of the world, of quality richer, per haps, than the average clay, its dust and gravel heavier with the grains that glisten, but still clay, of the earth earthly; it was quite natural for such country to send t9 the American congress a plain, straightforward American citizen, such as residents of the capital have found in MT. Waskey. Still, Alaska is not easily realized, and one of the important duties which Mr. Waskey's position imposes is to convince the really provincial natures of the genuineness and inn mensity of this territorial wonder. How best to do this must rest with the intelligence, industry and good judgment of the delegates whose presence at Washington has arous- ed so much "amiable curiosity" He might make his way smoother by tracing limerick" on his cards, which would serve the double purpose of putting his new and oorly-informed aoQuaintances per fectlY at ease, and at the same time keep him in constant touch with the important duties of his posi-. ton

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President Rooseyelt's message, communicated to the ffty-ninth congress at it's second session, is an interesting, and, in many par ticulars, remarkable paper. Cues. lions of domestic and insular inn port call forth a series of recom- mendations, all of them more or less important, some of them new in the domain of public discussion, and all freshened and frightened somewhat by the presidents meth- od of treatment. The message is a strong plea for higher ideals in the social and economic life of the na- f. .. In 3 general way, without s. ecific recommendations, the pres iaent discusses lynchings and in- temperate writings, capital and labor, tie Rio conference, Cuba, the second Hague conference, Gen. tral America, the work of the agri- cultural department, and the Alas ka-Yukon-Pacifc exposition.
 The clear note of the message is in the recommendation of citizen ship for the Japanese. The presi- dents plea for international moral ity, having to do with Frisco's exclusion of Japanese from public schools in violation of a treaty stipulation, is one of the strongest executive utterances of recent times; but the recommendation that the civil and criminal laws of the na- tion be changed in such way as to enable the president at all times to enforce the treaty rights of aliens, will rouse noisy protests because it will be accepted as another evidence of the presidents desire to extend the power of the executive depart ment beyond the safe limit of the constitution, says the P.-I.
 With the view of promoting and protecting American interests In Morocco, the president urges the prompt ratification of the Algeciras convention.
 The recommendation of a consti- tutional amendment authorizing congress to legislate on the subject of marriage and divorce, and poly-' gamy, is feature of the messaee, and an important concession to the popular demand,
 On the larger economic problems of the nation, particularly the cor porate problems, the president speaks plainly. He recommends a , tax upon inheritances, graded &C., cording to the degree of relation ship, and presses the need and wis dom of an income tax upon the attention of congress, provided such a measure as will stand the consti- tutional test can be drawn. To, strengthen remedial laws already in existence, the rate law, the pure food and meat inspection laws, and others relating to corporations, he asks that the federal government . ultimately be given further control , over corporations engaged in inter state business.
 On other domestic questions leg ;islation is recommended; Prohib- ;iting campaign contributions by corporations; giving the govern ,ment the right of appeal in crimi- nal cases; preventing the setting aside of judgments or granting new
