Cabman as a Politician

Once" says T. P.'s Weekly, "the
future kaiser, when IN incognito with
the then prince of Wales and Prince
Rodolphe, aired his political opinions in
Vienna tavern. The largest. the most
congested' of a group of cabmen who
were present took exception to his
point of view. With clenched fist he
advanced toward the prince. Then.
changing his mind, as though disdain-
full of dealing with so feeble an adver-
sary, he contented himself with ex-
claiming, his great, red hairy hands
grasping the princes shoulders: No
good insisting. youngster. You would
have better chance of setting fire TO
a river than of understanding anything
about politics. William, in the mean
time, took his number and sent him
the next day magnificent knife or
namented with arms and initials, in ad-
dition to this inscription ITO pro-
fessor of politics. His pupil of a day.

we all realize that as these great
Valleys develop and prosper so must

WHAT THE SEATTLE EXPOSITION
SHOWS

Editor Call: Everybody in California
who can do so ought to visit the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition at
Seattle. The Alaska building is nat
urally the center of attraction. The
fair is going to do more for Alaska
directly and for the whole Pacific coast
indirectly than even its most enthusi-
astic promoters dreamed.
Alaska, with practically SOC, 900
square miles, as large as all that part
of the United States east of the Ohio,
is rapidly coming into its own. In
few generations. probably within the
next % years, Alaska will have mill
lions of people.
AS Alaska prospers so must the Pa
cific coast. Now is the time for San
Francisco to get back her prestige in
Alaska. There will be enough busi-
ness for Seattle and San Francisco.
