Leavenworth, Wash.
My Dear Sir:
1t is with much pleasure that learn
of your intention to become candi-
date for denomination for election to
the Legislature from the fifty-sixth
district.
have said before and say now that
representative owes it to his district
to accept a second term in the legis-
lature as there can be no one in his
district who has not had the experience,
who can so effectively represent his
district, as the man who represented it
at the last session; his experience OBJ
tanned there and the acquaintance
made, particularly enable him to obtain
the best results.
1t seems to me that this view Of the
matter is particularly applicable in your
own case because as one of the new
members of the, last session you made
an extremely good record and have
every confidence in your ability to
more than excel that record in the
next session.
Trusting that if you are in Seattle
you will not fail to look me up and
with the best wishes for your success
in the coming campaign, l remain,
Cordially your friend,
Frank c. Jackson.

My Dear Mr.. King,
I am in receipt Of your kind letter
of the 1st. 1t is very gratifying to
know that those who were in touch
with my work in Olympia approved it.
I thank you for your kind words.
am much surprised to learn from
your letter that you are meeting strong
opposition in your campaign for re-
election. The people of this state
seem slow in realizing that the work of
legislating requires some experience.
There is too much OF tendency to
send new men. The conflicting and
fragmentary condition of our laws is a
result of this tendency. II your dis
trict could realize the importance that
little Wahkiakum county secures by
sending Mr.. Megler back time after
time I think that your problems would
be solved. A county never acquires
standing by sending new men all the
time. In your case you have thor
oughly earned a second term. You
entered the house stranger from a
small county, without influential asso-
ciates, and by your own ability and
energy gave your county prominent
recognition on all committees which
most vitality affected its interest. Your
work on the Judiciary Committee was
particularly valuable. In view OF all
this, any one who says that Chelan
county was not we'll represented either
is not sufficiently informed to speak,
or wilfully misstates the truth. II you
are returned you will become one OF
the leaders of the house. If any other
is sent in your place he will have to
spend one term at least becoming ac-
quainted with the leaders and acquiring
the standing that you now possess.
Knowing you and your work as I do,
and as an old neighbor in the House,
l feel personally that you ought to go
back. You have my best wishes, and
if can be OF any service to you in
your campaign, remember that shall
be glad to be called upon.
With kindest regards, I am,
Very sincerely yours,
Albert H. Beebe.

But for steady company give me the fish How restful they ne with their mouthlngs, as regular IS If they were governed by a balance wheel. How quiet. too. for not one word of murmurcd protest or of chat tering fault finding do they ina!ct upon us, How philosophical as they bosk in the sun the livelong day or seek the occasional shade of the modest snrlg of greens which forms the conventional GarnIShing of their wa fcrv abode, How easily grNtlned are ,hclr simple tastes! Surely with their good manners their quiet department nrl their stoical bearing goldfish are the ideal companions of the mature man.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SEATTLE TO, WARD ALASKA AND ALASKA TOWARD SEATTLE IN THE MATTER OF THE BIS FAIR

The wlsest and sanest thing that has been written about the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific exposition up to this time in or out of Alaska from the Alaskan stand point, which has come under the eye of this newspaper, is this that follows, taken from the Ketchiksn Miner. AL sska's responsibility in her own behalf, ln securing to herself the full benefit of a great opportunity and Seattle's re- sponsibility toward Alaska in the prem ises,-In the use of her name are both seen and pointed out. The editorial follows:
 "As the time draws near for the opening of the exposition winch the people of Seattle planned so enthusias- tIcally in one day, the success Of 1t be- comes more and more a matter of seri- ous consideration to Alaska. However optimistic and energetic the people of Seattle may be over the project, some facts are very apparent. First and fore most, expositions have been overdone, No general worlds fair can command public attention that does not equal that at St. Louis, and perhaps none will equal that far generation to come' The only hope for any exposition inter- esting the public is one that shall do one thing well, that is shall be the most complete and up-tO-date exhibit of some one country or industry ever made. It is understood that this is the object of this exposition. It Is to place Alaska and the Yukon adequately before the world. II it does, it will be unique among expositions and attain historic importance, but it it be but 8 subterfuge to exploit Seattle, and in her pockets, and that Alaska exists but in the name of the fair. then it will he an abiect failure.
 "Secoud, exorbitant prices, and the constant appearance of graft, no mat ter how worthy an exposition, will repel intelligent people and send them home disgusted. not only with the city that has thus imposed on them but also, DO natter how unjustly, with the cause the exposition repre- sents.
 "Third, an unprepsred exposition is worse than none at all. To find on opening day unfinished buildings, grounds filtered with lumber and rub blsh and uuinstalled exhibits, presages failure from the start. St. Louis, to avoid this postponed the great fair for year. Norfolk, Virginia, prided her self on opening her beautiful James town exposition on time. 8ut it was 8 fatal mistake. Her pride ruined her. The fatal day came while the exhibit buildings were nearly completed and the Lee parade was finished, the exhib. It's were in boxes on the cars. The government pier was mass of scafIold- ing, the state buildings were empty shells, and the grounds unprepared. The result was a disappointed public, who felt that they were duped, black eye in the press, ,and despite the fact that Jamestown became, before the summer was over, one of the most beautiful exhibits Of historic buildings and Southern life and hospitality ever seen, her grounds were deserted. She closed her doors Q fnan- clal failure, and it will take Virginia many years to recover from her expo sition experience.

 Stanton.

Boston, Jan 21.-Bili Papke of Valley Falls, Ills, who claims the middle weight championship of the world, de- feated Walter Stanton of San Francis co in four rounds at the Armory Ath- letic association her tonight.
 Stanton started in excellent form and throughout the first round landed heavy rights and left on the body and face. driving Papke from one end of the ring to the other. The punishmenet however. did not seem to affect Papke, who appeared to be sizing up his man.
 In the second round Stanton started in with a rush and the round was prac- tically a repetition of the first until near the close when Papke landed a hard left on Stantons jaw drawing blood.
 In the third round Papke started in to fight and soon had Stanton tired Papke used the Loop e-loop' punch in clinches with good effect and Stan ton was very weak whene the round closed.
 In the fourth round both started fighting like whirlwinds. wrestling each other to the floor. In close in- fighting Papke drove his man around the ring and with a heavy blow tt the stomach hoored Stanton to the count of nine. Stanton came back and landed a dozen hard blows to the body with either hand but Papke was too strong and with d succession of punch es sent Stanton down again.
