Miss Rorie and Hrs. Adams
 Charm their Hearers.

The recital given by Miss Ruth 2orie and Mrs. Eue Foris Adams. daughters Rev. and Mrs. T. o. Ror;e, Tuesday night, under the auspices of the Epworth League, for the bS15lit of church finances, was charming entertainment.
 The writer has heard about all the best singers that have appeared at Black $ Opera House the past eight years, and does not hesitate to say hat Miss Rorie' voice Is superior to all whom he has heard. Every note she utters is as clear, round and pleasing as the tones of the dove. If there is any fault at all in her singing. t has not been mentioned by any of the hearers who have commented up- 3n the occasion. Her piano select ions were also excellent indeed, lsav- ing no point for faultiinlirg. 1.-The Organ Builder was read by Miss 2orie with srl5nIid effect She is graceful in pose and gesture, speaks clearly, and slves good interpreta- ion to the pieces read.
 Mrs. Eue Adams, who appeared in several numbers readings. vocal and plano solos, and duets with her sis -er-aroused considerable enthusiasm. All of her work is meritorious and yell calculated to please even those sho might have critical turn Of nind
 If an arrangement can possibly be made by the League for another ap- pearance of these high-c!ass, cultured entertainers before the Brnkley pub lic, the opportunity will be utilized, for such performances can tut have de- light;ul. as we'll as wholesome, bene- iicial effect

The Miner has been patiently wait ing for the Alaska press, or at least that portion of it which endorses the governor $ assurances of support to the so-called Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition, to take tumble to it. self. The Juneau Record Miner, of late date makes the following sensi- ble suggestion in the premises :; Notwithstanding the fact that it was not intended by the managers of the Alaska Gukon exposition that the Alaska commissioners should have a meeting, it is highly important that such gathering take place in order that the interests of Alaska may be protected. The Seattle plan is to ask the next congress to make a big appropriation to help Alaska gather an exhibit and for them to handle the money. If this appropriation is for Alaska, the Alaska commission should handle the funds direct and see to it that they are expended in the interest of Alaska and not for Seattle. The commission has long enough been fifth wheel to the Seattle coach. Of course, if con- gress makes an appropriation for an Alaska exhibit, the collection of the exhibit and the expenditure of the money should be under the direction and control of the commission, if in- deed it was not created for ornamen- tai purposes only. But it's dollars to doughnuts that it won't be.

An exchange says: Hurrah for Texas. The state legislature in solemn, deliberate session, passed q bill requiring all hotels and boarding houses to furnish sheets nine feet long. We have always looked for great things from Texas. But in this case the action of the legislature would have been more to the point had it left a couple of feet off the sheets and incorporated with the act q provision requiring them to be changed at least once in every four weeks.

Whereupon a fnancie" curious to find where John w. stood six years ago looked up the newspaper files. In an issue of May 9, 1901, he found him quoted as follows: II feel like dog that has been kicked so hard it has to walk sideways. - Wherefore, if Mr. Gates meant to be taken literally it would appear that he did not escape unscathed in the late New York un- pleasantness.

THAT THIRD TERM IDEA.

Three times within the lives of men who have been active in politics have we had third term issue rais- ed. The first was in 1880, when Grant was induced by his friends to stand for q third term, although there had been four years between the end of his second term and of his third candidacy. Just after Me Kinley was elected a second time third term talk started. but he stopped it immediately by declaration that he would not accept q nomination,
 nor serve if elected to third term. The Mckinley talk does not count for very much because it did not get very far. The talk of Roosevelt for q third term is serious enough and

particularly those oi Alasha, to :. toe- ollection of the fact that simultan- eously with the birth of that settle ment was born the theory and spirit of self-government. which afterwards found expression in the immortal declaration of independence, and was made the corner stone of the Republlc then founded. From the very first the Virginia colonlsts claimed and exercised the right of local self-gov- ernment. an example which was followed by the people of the other colonies, so that while still subjects of the crown, the colonies were never- theless self.governing up to the time of the parting of the ways which led to armed rebellion. And that person has read and studied the history of the colonies to little purpose, if he or she does not know that it was the attempted invasion of that right more than any other cause which led to the revolution and a severance of political ties between the colonies and the mother country.
 The spirit of liberty glowed in the hearts of the colonists. who guarded and maintained the right to govern themselves, and were ever ready to defend that right against invasion tA no nvtr nf St- ance The very first Continental Congress, prior to the revolution, placed on record the solemn declara tion that ''the foundation of English liberty, and of all free governments, is the right of the people to partici- pate in their legislative councils.
 The great commoner, William Jennings Bryan is reported to have recently responded. at a banquet in Norfolk, Virginia to the toast "Tax- ation without representation is tyr amy" It is to be presu med that he spoke eloquently and to the point, from the standpoint of he history of the times and the circumstances under which that famous and truthful dec laration was uttered. It is more than probable, however, that he gave no thought or word to the fact that a new order of affairs now prevails, and that not only is the senti ment to which he responded practically ignor- ed but the principle and the ory of self-government utterly repudiated, in the case of a large body of Ameri- can citizens residing in Alaska. The sentiment to which he respon ded is not to be found in the declaration of independence, as justification of he stand taken by the colonies; on the other hand, the burden of com plaint all through that immortal docume lit is the invasion, or threatened inya- sion. of the cherished right of self government.
 Now that the time approaches for the annual celebration of the of the day which the fathers of glorious memory solemnly declared that "all govern ments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed only" and without coun ting the cost, to the maintenance of the cause of self-gov- ernment pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honors. it will be interesting to note how the orators selected to address Alaska audiences will apply the principles enunciated in the immortal decara- tion of human rights to existing polit- ical conditions in Alaska.
