Now is the time for all good dem
ocrats to quit chewing the rag
about the Bailey matter, whether
they are satisfied or not. A maj
ority of the legislature, elected by
and representing the democratic
party, has declared in his favor, and
there is nothing to warrant a con-
tinuation of the strife. Six years
hence the voters individually will
likely have another chance to ex-
press their sentiments regarding
Mr.. Bailey at the polls, and until
that time at least there should be
no cause for division.

HELPING INDIANS WISELY

They have a woman's society at Nome Uhat tiS doing more to solve the Indian question in Alaska than all the Washington appointed government officials iu the district. This society IS teaching a community of Eskimos how to earn living and care for them selves under civilized lconditions. The Indians are being taught to work, to use their money judiciously and to keep their bodies warm and clean. They are taught that these are the first necessities to their existence. They are instructed in the Three R's." and to use the English language correctly, but that is made matter of secondary importance.
 These Nome women have helped the Indians to build an hospital, bathhouse, laundry and school house combined They help the Indians to get employ ment and teach them how to do their work so they can hold their jobs. Then they advise them as to what to do with their money.
 Until this policy shall have been adopted with all the Indians of Alaska there will be more or less money vast ed by the federal government and missionary societies. Too much energy is being used iu trying to impress upon the Indians the necessity of accepting a particular scheme of salvation and to i'll their heads with chaotic ideas of scierce and "bOo6 learning" while their greatest need is to know how to use their hands and to care for their bodies. \ clean, healthy, well clothed Indian, in a clean warm house, who knows how 10 do something well, is worth hundreds of these diSsoIute things with a smattering of education, living from hand to mouth, protesting religion when broke and rioting in debauchery when lush with money.

President Roosevelt has run against a snag. He has discovered that Senator Foraker is not so easily beaten as he thought when it comes to the political game. The Cincinnati republican machine has served notice on him that if a negro is appointed to position iu their city, Son-in-law Nick will never sgaiu be nominated for congress or given further political honors. Son. iu-law Nick has gotten all his ta7ors by playing with Boss Cox and the other machine men. Now these men say to him that he must stay the hand of his father-in-law or there will be retri- button. Of course Senator FOraker is entirely ignorant of this latest move.

When a boy breaks away from the ties of home and maKeS his way in the world, he s,wheu he gains recognition, heralded with pride as d self-made man. This bit of philosophy is advanced on account of the stock cry that is heard from many that This territory is not yet ready for self government" This can be taken as the sage advice of men who have little confidence in themselves and au utter lack of it in others. This country is now ready for self-government, and it has population made up O; seli-made men far in excess of that of mauy other territories when admitted to territor' ial government.
