After he had delivered lecture to nearly l00 hundred students of q primary school in Tokyo one day last month, a Japanese professor offered to present the school with the picture of the greatest man i'll the world $ history if the pupils would decide who was that man. An election was ordered in which George Washington lead in the voting by very large plurality The second choice was an American, also, Abraham Lincoln. Several other Americans, including Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt received votes. That would indicate, at least, that the children of Japan are not possessed of preju- dice against Americans or of race hatred.

A CONTRAST.

Our task in the Philippines, which are soon to have accorded them the privilege of self-goyernment, to the extent at least of being permitted to chose representatives for legislature of their own, says that able and wholly non- partisan publication, The Outlook. is very far from completion. For instance, Goyernonr Ide points out that school provisions can be made for only half a million children, while million and a half are clam bring for admission to the schools. At present, he holds, the great lack of the Filipino people is middle class There is a small, very small, body of highly educated people, some of them educated abroad, a mere handful and then there is the great mass of untrained uneducated and
 ignorant people. and between the two classes there is a tremendous chasm yet to be filed" To meet fully such problems as this of education is inn possible for the simple reason that the Philippine Government is poor. And it is poor because Congress re- fuses to do justice to the Philippines in the matter of tariff. There is still an opportunity for next session of Congress to take the action urged upon it again and again by the presi- dent and by all friends of a right policy in the islands. The export tax on hemp. Judge Ide declares, has taken between one and two million dollars from the poverty-stricken in- sular treasury and employed it for the benefit of the cordage trust: the coastwise shipping law has extended a doctrine wise in itself and for our own coastwise trade to situation where it can work only hardship and injustice the prohibitive tariff on sugar and tobacco is not only "a mon- sterous injustice. but gives the Filipino the feeling that the Amer ican colonies had when subjected to discriminating and ruinous trade reg ulations by Great Britain" These are the words of an administrator and organizer of recognized ability and of six and half years experience in the Philippines. If the views they express are not just and sound, Con- gress should have the courage to state that fact and refuse to act upon them: if the views are right, then Congress should be ashamed of reason ess inaction.
 In this connection the Miner would like to remind The Outlook that it might very protitably give some part of its attention to conditions pre- vailing in Alaska, where there is no such need of education preliminary to according her people the privileges of local self-government. If it will inquire into the situation the least bit carefully, it will find it can very readily afford to spare some of its sympathy to people of it's kith and kin who are even worse oil, from political point of view at least, than are those of the Philippines.

Clifford Pinchot. the government forestry expert, whose salary has been raised to s5, ,00O year, is one of many rich young men attached to the public service whose salaries do not meet their living expenses by several thousand oel.ars every year. Mr. Pinchot took up forestry as a sort of a fad soon after graduating from Yale and then sought position in the government. service in order that he might turn his fad to practical ac- count. This he has done most success flu fly.

sELF-GovERNMENT AssAURED

SELF GOV ERNMENI ASSAU RED.
 Why the federal government should break from a territorial policy it has pursued for more than a century, why it should withhold from Alaska a right and . privilege it has granted other territories of less moment in material wealth and in population, are questions not easily answered. Without Thyme or reason, Alaska seems to have been put upon the ''un- fair list. 7" However, the robust and loyal American citizens who live in the northern country. and who have dedicated their talents and energies to its development, need not despair l; there will be day of reckoning and wrong will be righted.
 Alaska phenomenal growth is an eloquent reminder that in very short space of time the federal gyern- ment will be compelled, on account of the bulk, importance and value of Alaska's resources. and productiveneSs, to yield the just and reasonable de- mands now made in behalf of the territory. IL is so written in tie des tiny of the nation, and men who are now standing in the light will be for gotten in the day of Alaska's tri- umph. Seattle P.-I.

Recently it became apparent that certain influences had organized to postpone territorial government as long as possible and were seeking by insidious methods to enlist all the national political influence they could obtain. At once the great majority of the people of the territory, whose attitude towards self-government had been that of quiescent approval, were aroused to lighting mood. The fight is on and will be continued actively until territorial government wins, whether il be two years or twenty seward Gateway.

The Chicago InterOcean, speaking of the widespread interest in copper at present, says that an output from Alaska ore deposits is eagerly looked for by consumers in hopes that it will lower the price of copper. It says Tn the United States, the largest producing country in the world. the chief mines are to all intents and purposes cleaned out of copper for four or five months to come, and big producers in other parts of the world are in much the same position.

Doctor Gates Wonderful Work

their dear children, or some near ard

wondrous work in relieving the suffer

afflicted, in every way afflicted. If
you are ailing, no matter what your

ailing, or who has failed to cure you,
do not defer hope, but write DR..
Gates, and say how you feel, and if
you receive a favorable reply, then
go to Minneapolis at once, and see
this man who has brought happiness
to SO many suffering ones. It is true
that his charges are considered high
by some, but what is money when
weighed in the scale of life with
health? If he can do for you what
no other ever did, relieve you of your
suffering and restore you to health, it
is worth all that you can afford to
pay him, and a great deal more. He
charges according to the service nee
essary to render to give you the de-
sired results. To the poor, who are
ailing, who show him that they are
really unable to pay, he makes no
charge. Believing firmly in that pas
sage of Scripture, "For inasmuch as

"And he came with healing in his

Nippon, who was cotemporaneous
with Julius Cesar, was one of the
most noted and famous natural heal
ers that the world has ever known.
His biographer says that he was un-
lettered, a simple, plain-minded man,
not given to boasting, but loath to
tell Of what he had done; Of a shy,
precious nature that oftimes caused
him to shrink from the great con-
our CT people that pressed to see
him. People with every Imaginable

with canes, on crutches, in wheel
chairs and OH stretchers, wedged
their way into the presence of this
great nan whose touch of hand made

Killed.
Grand Forks-Joseph Lochoch, a
carpenter who had been employed by
the Great Northern at Devils Lake,
was killed in the Grand Forks yards
of that road. His body was found
an hour after train No. 6 pulled east.
The head was completely cut off and
"a found inside the rail. The body
vas on the outside of the rail. No
portion of the body was mutilated
except the head and neck.
The head and body lay in such po-
sitions as to indicate that Lochoch
stumbled and fell face downward on
the track, or deliberately laid his neck
on the rail in order to commit suicide.
The latter theory finds favor with
many who viewed the body. On Loeb
och's body was found s2U0.31 in cash,
a return pass from Devils Lake to St.
Paul and a membership card indicat-
ing that he belonged to Eureka lodge
No. PSI, st. Paul, of the Brotherhood
of Railway Carmen. The card was
