Darwin came of Unitarian stock,
and was never much of a believer in
theological systems. In reply to a
question that had been put to him In
a letter he wrote over his own sigma,
ture: Il do not believe that any
revelation has ever been made" Upon
the questions of God and the future
life he was an out-and-out agnostic.
claiming that they were matters that
had never been settled and concern.
Ing which he had no right to make
any statement. He never once denied
the existence of personal God or .
future for men after death. but con.
tented himself with saying, Il know
nothing about them. one way or the
other"

shskespeare,s Greatest Play.

II is impossible to say which Of
Shakespeare's plays is the greatest. !"
II is safe to say that the greatest Of
his productions are THE Tempest, =
Julius Caesar" Hamlet" Lear"
Macbeth" and "othello." but to pitch
upon any one of these Elk, or of the
others, as being the greatest would be
bit Of objectionable temerity. II is
question Of individual taste and
judgment. Some claim that Hamlet"
bears the palm, others are found to be
in favor OF giving that high honor to
Macbeth" while each one OF his Is
or 20 greater plays seems the great
est" to some people. Perhaps the
most talked Of. If not the most popu-
lar, OF the Shakespearean dramas is
Hamlet" while the majority OF the
profounder Shakespearean critics
unite In pronouncing "The Tempest"
to be the high-water mark Of the great
dramatist's wonderful genius.

elaborate the cordial welcome which
they as representatives Of their dis
tricts wished to give.
The feature OF the discussion yester,
day which was especially distressing
to me was suggested reflection on
southern hospitality. The intimation
that somewhere in the south board
was charged has no foundation in fact.
and / never heard it intimated until I
saw it In this mornings paper.
In all my experience-and have
enjoyed the hospitality. Of many Sec
tions and countries of the world
never had more cordial, generous,
open and lavish welcome than had
in the southern states during my trip,
and the slightest hint that puts me
in the attitude of critic oS that hos
pitality gives me great pain. .-,.

HISTORY

Clifford Pincbot has become con yinced that the country is in bad shape, He is saying things today that only the socialists and anarchists and a few populists dared to utter not many years ago. Thirty years or more ago L. H. Weller of Iowa was in Congress. He saw the tendency Of capital to aggrahdize unto itself the resources of the land and the manage ment of the government. He was an enthusiast and cried out against the danger which seemed so iminent He was laughed at The press de rlsIyely called him Calamity" Weller and since that time every man who has had the temerity to sound note of warning has been called a calamity hOwler, until today the disciples of Weller are becoming as numberless as the sands of the seashore. Old newspapers that laughed at him are now using his same arguments for re form. Today Iowa has its tariff re- formers. trust buckers and Insurgents In both houses Of Congress.
 There Is nothing inherently bad in bowling out ones grievances. To pa tiently endure injuries is the attribute Of slave. When we all howl in con cer. there will be something doing in the way of adjusting things more to the hearts desire. History says that Napoleon usurped the throne of France. History is liar Napoleon was a republican until ninety per cent of the people became hypnotized with the belief that they couldn't get along without him so they forgot their republicanlsm and made him emperor
 Roosevelt can return from his Al. rican campaign tomorrow and come dam near making the same kind of monkeys out of the American people. -Ketchikan Miner.

ARE ALAsKANs AMERrcANsa

Jadglng by the amendment to the Beyeridgs bill made by the territorial committee Of the Senate the gentle men who compose this committee must possess. some singular bias against American forms of govern. msnt, for they have so changed the bill as to deny Alaskans even the paltry priyiledge of electing a minor ity of :he members of the legislative council that Is to conduct the affairs Ol Alaska-proHded the Beveridge bin is made a law.
 It is difficult to find any semblance or an excuse for this action. It must inevitably give rise to the question as to whether Alaskans, the pioneers who have developed and settled the great Northland, are really consider ed ss Americans by the legislators who make our laws. Certainly Con gress has shown us less soIcitude and fair play than has been accorded the FnipIBos, the Hawaiians and oth. CT alien races who have come under the paternal care Of Uncle Sam. From standpoint of sentiment, the sentiment Of a republican form oS government. that men should rule themselves, there can be no defense Of AlaSEans not having voice in their own affairs.
 Evidently the members of the ter. rItorIal committee looked at the mat ter from strictly business basis.
 Alaska has been systematically ex, plotted in the past by the ruthless hand Of commercialism. There will be less interference with Business if this exploitation is continued un, der appOinuye officers. It will also prove cheaper for the Interests" con cerned.
 That this is good logic is undeni. able. but 1t is rather disappointing to people who were raised with a belief in American institutions and who are endeayorfng to raise their children in aside Tor Business"
 However these reasons are merely sentimental. Sentiment must stand aside for Business.

ity. They sent the prescription all
right on request, but it always had
one or two constituents not known

not fill it, so it had to go back to

the advertiser which can only be OBJ
tanned from him at a price that af-
fords him a very excellent profit. U.s.

II is purely and simply a patent med
ieine or proprietary, not a regu-
lar drug. The druggist may stock it

and the remedy may be fairly hon
est, but the advertising is not. AS a
rule the remedy has little value, be-
cause it is cheapened To make a big
profit for the advertiser.
