THE TURNING POINT

It is ar old saying that when the days begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen. For six months the leugthon,ng of the day has been going on, and while it was true from four to six months ago that the cold did strengthen, yet it became not very rigorous in this locality. Now that the day has reached its limit and gives Us light for twenty-four hours, the temperature has become delightfully."- mild. While reports come from east ern cities of the excessive heat, and scores of people proStrated and not a few periShing, we in this misunder- stood land of icebergs are enjoying a delightful climate. Such a thing as ,unStroke in Seward or prostration from heat is never heard of and while we have to sleep in daylight we are never kept awake by an oppressive and Stutfy atmosphere. The pest of mos quitoeS that inhabit the interior will disappear when people come to dwell in the land and burn off the moss that for centuries has grown on the surface In few years the advantages of life in this northern country will become known to the world, and many thous- ands will come to make their homes in this land of marvellous resources of ag- ricultural and mineral wealth.

Awful Prospect

The Victoria Times, of the 2lst inst. muses thus:-
 No, it will not do to give the ladies the franchise. Just think of it, Un- tied States woman says she hopes Taft will not be elected. Why? Because he is too fat. None but nice, slim, sleek, natty candidates can hope to gain the confidence of majority of the fair sex. Which just goes to prove that almost any issue except the one that really matters would appeal to the intelligence of the lady voters. Just think of a parliament in Canada which would be a glass of fashion and mould of form.

CONFLICTING OPINIONS

The Panama Mine Owners ASsocia- tiou ha, been busy during the past win ter and spring in iuducjngmen locomc to Fairbanks on the plea that there k demand fo,. laborcrS, and S5 a day and board would be paid. The aSSo- citation induced the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with it in Seud.ug men To the Panama region. The call for laborerS has been respond ed Co by many hundreds of men. The cal has also come from the Nome re- gion through President II. (. Davis of of the Northwestern Development Company and states that there will be employment in the Nome mining camps this summer for 5000 men at S5 day and board.
 The opposite view of the situation is presented, according 10 the Seattle Times, by party familiar with the mining situation in the north, but who through fear that his business inter- eStS might be jeopardized does not want his identity discovered. This party states that the labor conditions in Fairbanks and the Panama are in a very bad way, that more men have been sent into the country than are needed, and that many of them are doing all kinds of odd jobs to get money enough to keep body and soul together. He makes the admission, however that the majority of. the men coming into the country are unable to endure the work of the mines, and hence give up their jobs in a few days after securing them. This practically admits that suitable laborerS are still in demand. The unknown writer claims that it is the purpose of the mine owners 10 get a large number of laborers into the country and then re- duce the wages.
 It k a difficult matter in the face of these conflicting opinions to know what the true situation in these min ing regions is. It is probable that the thoroughly competent laborer is still in demand, and if the law of the sur vival of the fittest prevails the incom- petent will be driven from tine field.

PUT OUT THE CHAPTERS

Formerly when an important elec- tion was approaching, the man posing as a reformer would be loud in his de- mands to turn out the rascals. Now the raScals are given a rest, and the grafterS are to be run to earth and no efforts will be spared to put them out and to put honest men in. These would be reformers will soon be busy with their tasks and if they are really in earnest in their pursuit of the grafter there will be bunch of people chasing themselves before many months are past, and some of them may even hit the trail in the wilds of Alaska.

AsErTINo LAwLEssNEss

The finding of the jury in the ease of Chester Thompson when he was brought before the court in Tacoma to test his sanity, and the consequent freeing of the man from prison has aroused very bitter feeling on the part os some of the people in Se- at,le in whose minds tine details of the wantou murder of Judge Emory are still fresh. This perhaps is not 10 be wondered at, but what is surprising is the melting to lawIe,sue>s indulged in bv one of the leading newspapers of the city in printing the following:
 We don't know whether Judge Emory has any real, live, burning friends in Seattle or not-but if he has and that murderer Thompson shows his head in Seattle and lives twenty four hours, the friends of Emory will be denounced as towards
 Admitting that the plea of insanity, when Thompson was first tried for murder, was but a ruSe 10 enable the accused to evade the penalty of the law, and that the later test of insanity promoted further miscarriage of justice, there is still no excuse for ad- vocating the return to the old Mosaic law of 'retaliatiOn and urging the nearest of kin to be the avenger. All that sort of thing belongs to a primi- tive age which the more enlightened of the human race have for many cen turies been trying to leave behind.
 Admit also that the friends of the murdered man think that justice has been thwarted, and that did they but follow their own feelings they would take the life of the murderer in return for the life that he took, there would still be no justification in such an act. Men are only too apt to follow their feelings when deeply wronged, and at no time are they so apt to do the wrong thing as when driven by im- pulse of outraged feeling.
 From large newspaper is expected large thoughts and an advocacy of those sentiments that tend to support

of his character. Grover Cleveland has often been called the man of desti- ny. Perhaps he was not more so than other men who make use of their ability to accomplish what lies in their power. In the life of man who be- comes great among men it is easier to trace the influence of the guiding hand ot destiny than it is in the life of one who is less in the public eye.
 Grover Cleveland was the son of a Presbyterian minister and was born in New Jersey in the year 1887. The family moved later to New York state and finally settled in Clinton, in the schools of which place Grover received his education. When he was sixteen years old his father died and Grover had henceforth to shift for himself. He taught school in the New York Institution for the Blind. Later he started for Cleveland, Ohio. to study law, but was induced by an uncle to stop in Buffalo. He there entered law office and was admitted to practice in 1859. A few years later he became assistant district attorney for Erie county and was afterwards elected sheriff of the county. In 1881 he was elected Mayor of Buffalo. His notable service iu that office led to his nomina- tion for governor to which office he was elected in 1882. His ability as governor made him candidate for president of the United States to which position he was elected in 1884 and again in 1892. AS president, Cleveland showed an independent spirit, grasp of public affairs and determination to do his duty that easily place him among the great presidents of the United States.

German Mining Men Coming

Some real German money barons are headed this way, and should arrive in Portland along about July for trip of general inspection of mining proper ties in this state. They will bring with them a mining engineer and a noted assayer from Berlin. The pur- pose of this visit is to decide whether they will invest in mining enterprises in this section or not, and it is under stood that they will inspect only such properties which are known to be good paying investments now and which show reasonable prospects of continu- ing to be so for some time to come. The identity of these capitalists is not revealed, but it is known that they have made reservations at a local hotel and that Portland will be the first stopping point for business purposes when they reach this country. Their itinerary and accommodations for their American tour are being arranged for through New York agents. British Columbia and possibly Alaska will be included in their jaunt.-Portland Telegram.

ies where spies may watch the clerks in the out going mall department. h. spector Mayer asserts that any man who objects to being watched is a thief. Little does the man who makes that assertion understand human na- ture. It used to be the custom in older institutions of learning constantly to watch the students to see that they did not cheat in their examinations. Such system of espionage is an of- fense to every honest man, and the practice of it leads to an attempt to outwit the spy, not for the purpose of being dishonest, but to defeat the aims of the reprehensible system. No man, however honest, can do his best work when constantly suspected of being dishonest, and the more honorable and upright he is, the less willingly does he submit to the surveillanceS. It would probably be difficult to find d more honest lot of government en- ployees than those engaged in the United States mail service. Now and then one goes wrong, but there is no surer way of making men dishonest than to be constantly suspecting them of an inclination to wrong doing.
 Then too, to add to the annoyance of the system man of inferior capacity and questionable honor is often em- ployed as spy, for no intelligent self respecting man would willingly en- gage in the occupation.
