Evil of Slavery.

Lincoln had a fixed unchanging faith
in the virtue of our political institutions
lie looked upon slavery with dread, not
only because it was a monstrous wrong
but because it imperillcd the republic
With true prophetic Agenius he declared:
"A house divided against itself cannot
stand. l believe this government cannot
permanently endure half slave and half
free.
He was as patient as destiny He was
neither moved by those who would go too
fast nor deferred by those who would
not go at all He knew that slavery must
perish or the republic die. and he believed
that the republic was immortal.
HE was Christian though not pro-
fessor of the Christian religion. When the
hour was darkest he sought the eyerlast-
ing throne for strength and guidance He
believed in an overruling providence in
the affairs of the great republic.
HE chose with rare discrimination men
suited to the arduous work In the cab
met and in the field. He did not hesitate
to call about him the nations greatest,
lest they should overshadow him. Few
men in American politics were ever more
sharply criticised and more cruelty I'M
peached than he. Criticism is indeed too
polite z word. Abuse is more appropriate.
His detractors are now forgotten and his
figure has risen into historic proportions.
Each day brings its questions and its re-
sponsiblites. They will be solved a Lin
coin so1ve~ his by bringing to their con-
sideration patience, patriotic purpose and
an enlightened judgment. Difficulties may
arise which for the moment seem to over
tax our capacity, but If we bring to their
consideration the unwearying patience,
that sublime faith in the ultimate triumph
of truth, over error which inspired Abra-
ham Lincoln, that solution will be at
tanned which is in harmony with the prin-
cipes which lie at the foundation Of
American institutions.
Is Inspiration.
SIN hours of doubt and uncertainty In
the course of our national career we may
turn to the life and service of Abraham
Lincoln for inspiration We find in 1t all
an Illustration of the fact that men honor
most those who best serve their fellow
men, and who seek to exalt their day and
generation. The question uppormost in the
DAYS of Lincoln. uppermost today. and
which will be uppermost tomorrow. is the
ouestion of securing men everywhere In
those rights which find their enunciation
in the immortal Declaration of lndepend-
ence.
National unity for which Lincoln stood
was established through sacrifices which
no one but omnipotence can measure.
Great as they were. the end accomplished
was worth the cost
at is given to us to see hut little
way into the future. What the morrow
will bring forth it is not permitted us 10

A Call to the Republicans of
 the District of Alaska.
JUNEAU, ALASKA, ArausTs, 1907,

JUNEAU, ALASKA, AAGSS1 OS 1SO'.
 The Republican Territorial Commit tee of Alaska, in obedience to custom, hereby call upon all who believe in the principles of ths repub blican party and endorse it's policies to unite under this call in the various cities, towns and set dement's wherein they reside aud select delegates to the Republican Territorial Convention, to meet at the City of Ju- neau, Alaska, on the 14th day of No yember, 1907, for the purpose of elect ing six (6) delegates and six t6) alter nate delegates to the Republican Ma tional Convention which shall be held in the early summer of 1908.
 In the selection of the date for the Territorial Convention, the committee has encountered the manifest difficult ties resulting from the remote locality of many interior settlements and the climatic conditions prevailing in the second and third court divisions, ren- dering it impracticable for the dele gates from those divisions to receive notice of and attend a convention at Juneau, or at any other point in Alaska, in the spring of the year 1908, and thirty days prior to the National Con- vention.
 Therefore, with the approval of the National Executive Committee the date named for our Territorial Convention has been selected to facilitate general attendance from all sections. It is hoped that delegates will be elected who can attend the convention in per son.
 The primaries and meetings for the selection of delegates in each settle ment and town hereinafter named, should be held at the earliest opportu- nity without further notice from this committee.
 The committee desires to be under stood that in apportioning the repres- entation to the various localities below mentioned, that the said localities should also embrace their respective territorial vicinities.
 Delegates to the Republican Territor- ial Convention have been apportioned as follows:

The Way It Read

The editor of little western paper was in the habit of cheering up his subscribers daily with a column of short, pertinent comments on their town, their habits and themselves. The department on account of it's inti- mate personal flavor was the most popular thing in the paper.
 The editor, as he saw 1t growing in favor gradually allowed himself a wider and wider latitude in his remarks until the town passed much of it's time conjecturing what "he das't to say next"
 On a hot day when the simeon whistled daily up the streets of the town depositing everywhere it's burden of sand the editor brought forth this gem of thought;
 "All the windows along Main street need washing badly"
 The next morning he was waited on by platoon of indignant citizens who confronted him with the paragraph in question fresh from the hands of the compositor, and informed him f1ercely that he had gone too far. After hasty and mortified glance he admitted that he had. It now read:
 "All the widows along Main street need washing badly."-Everybody's.
