TIME TO OPEN ALASKA

In a recent issue Harper's Weekly asks Can We Govern Alaska, or Cant weg ad then proceeds to make these sane observations: It is. high time for little statesmanship on the Alaska question The very name of the vast province is getting to be a synonym for rows, crimiua- Hous, bad temper-and nothing doing. We must prevent robbery and prevent vulauy, of course; if there is steal ing. it must be stopped, and the peo-I ple,s rights must be protected, But surely there must be some honest and safe way to open up AIaskas wealth and give it a chance to develop. Else congress- had better confess its ina bfHy to attend to it's business. Here, il is torty-tour years since We bought the country for a song. It has paid prodigiously on the investment It is going to pay better still Yet from first to last we have made a disgrace gul mess oG our spasmodjc attempts to govern iL The chairman of the house committee on territories prom ises to make a thorough study of the whole subject and bring in a compre- hensive bm in December. Heres hol- ing he will make good, and that after while we may pronounce the word Alaska without shame.
 Nobody who knows anything at all about Alaska or Alaskans will now pronounce AIaska's name with feel ing of shame. There isn't anything to be ashamed of so far as Alaska is concerned. The trouble is with the enemies of Alaska and the un- happy failure of Che federal govern meut to do what it ought to do for Alaska.
 But Alaska will be opened in spite of the muckrakers and those who are foolish enough to believe their silly swibbHngs,
 Hapers is right in saying that "it is btgh time for a little statesman ship on tae Alaska question; that is precisely what the Naskaus think, and !, may be that after Secretary Fisher. of the interior department has visited the northern country the desirable kind of just and honest and couagcous staJesmauship win ma ter5auzs in Alaska's case Maskans and their friends at least win hope so.-Seatuc P,-L

Thracians. the Iberians, the Celts or the Scythians. The man who didn't get drunk every day or two was re- garded as queer.
 Eat, drink and amuse yourself. All else Is vanity" said Sardanapalus. the last king of the Assyrians. and those words were written on his tomb.
 The ancients were so fond of drink that their most popular god was Baccus. Their feats in honor oi Baccus, Venus and Saturn were characterized by debauches from which the most advanced inebriates would shrink in horror and disgust. The average gourmand of Athens or Rome ate and drank more in a single day than We do in week.
 The antiquity Of drunkenness is not known. but one of the most an cient accounts of a jag is that Of Lot, which Is told in the Book of Genesis. The Persians, were famous drunkards in the old days.
 The Greeks were moderate drink CTS until they began to copy the lux ury of the Persian feasts. The Ro- mans Initiated the Greeks. Then the whole world went on a mad drunk. It was a saturnalia.
 In the beginning no wrong was thought of drinking and the moralists even advised drink to dispel melan- choly. Hlppocrates upheld drinking and earnestly advised people to drown their sorrows in wine.
 When shall we live If not now?'' was the giddy advice of the sober Seneca.
 The Romans carried over indul. gence to an extreme never equaled in another age. Guttony and intem perance reigned and huge fortunes were spent in a single repast.
 Claudius was noted for the rare wines he served. He often had 500 guests at his table Like Tiherius. be died from eating the wrong kinl of mushrooms.
 Caligula owes his niche in the hall Of fame to the drunken banquets with which he made even Rome mar vel. The excesses made fashionable by such potentates as Lncullus. Nero. Terres, Tiberius. Caliguia, Vitellius and Domitian really began in the Gays of Pompey, and they mark the beginning of the end of the republic.
 At the feasts of these rulers the Rmphorae-enOrmous vases, somo with a capacity of many barrels were full of wine, which was dipped up by youthful servants and handed to the guests, while young girls sang and danced.
 Of the many feasts given by Vi. tellius not one cost less than S1.50O, and his reign was almost a COntinu- ous debauch. Commodus was a no- torious drunkard, and Septimus was not much better Several died of over indulgence in the flowing bowl.
 It was famous sport to see a guest drink a sup of wine for every letter in the name of his mistress.

WORLD NEARER TEMPERANCE
 THAN EVER BEFORE

The world is nearer real temper. Ance today than at any time in its history, says the Chicago Inuer-Ocean. Teetotalers may not believe this, buI n they read the following they will realize that the world at least Is forgetting how to get really good and drunk" There are few persons gho have gained regulations for the amount of food and drink they habit oally consume, but only a few by comparison with previous genera tons, this is a most Rbstemious age. The men of 50 or % years ago were great drinkers, but for pointers on how to get drunk and spend money Is necessary to turn to the an cients.
 Ceasar on 6 certain occasion. while drunk on wine, is said to have given Eutchyus, his charioteer, a tip amounting to SS0.000, the largest money tip on record. The most reck- less of our modern millionaires thinks he's making an awful splash when he tips his chaffeur S20 note.
 One of the Caesars fed his charger on wine and barley in a golden vase One of his dinners cost half a mil non dollars. His supper bill for four months was S20,000.0o@
 Philip of Macedon was a drunkard. He always left the banquet table staggering Alexander the Great, his It took him two days and two nIgnts to sleep off a royal jag. He died of drink at the age of g.
 Dionysius, the Younger. tyrant Of Sicily, went on sprees which lasted three months at a time. He lost his eye-sight through over indulgence.
 Nero was in the habit of sitting down at noon and sticking there un- tii midnight. eating and drinking all the time
 Timerius was sincere drunkard. After becoming emperor of Rome he vas drunk so often that his army nicknamed him 'Biberius," meaning uppler." He had two pals, laccus and Piso. with whom he went on sprees. At the weeping stage they deplored the prevalence of dunken- pess
 One time Tiberius had a vacancy for the Quaestorship and there were many applicants for the job. The man who got it drank whole pitcher of strong wine which Tiberius him. self had filled. The successful appli- cant had neither position nor '-pull. .' but Tiberius said the man who could drink that amount of wine was the man for the place.
 Tiberius was as crazy about eating ss drinking. He gave Sabinus sS,000 knr writing q skafch in which au oyster, a thrush and a mushroom figured as characters. Tiberius was very fond of mushrooms and died from eating the wrong kind

UNSEEN EMPIRE"
IS UNSETTLED

ADropos of what Professor David
Starr Jordan told Honolulu the other
night about the relationship of big
finance to war, are the following re-
marks of Henry Clews of New York
in his latest special letter received
here. Although the Moroccan crisis
was brief affair, this eminent author
ity looks for "a considerable period
of continued unsettlement in financial
circles as a probable consequence.
In other words, Jordan's unseen EN-
pre- becomes long disturbed by a
short jeopardy of war:
'As was to have been expected, our
own market has this week Larticipat-
ed in the general feeling Of interna-
tional financial unsettlement. Politi-
cal affairs abroad have not at least
on the surface, shown increased
strain. But an attitude of uneasiness
has nevertheless been apparent in for
eign banking circles and it is not at
all unnatural that this should spread
to this side of the ocean, especially in
view of the active sales of American
securities by foreign holders that nave
taken place.
AS has been repeatedly emphas-
lied in these advices, the cable and
the telegraph have converted all the
great financial centers of the world
into a single market, of which the
various branches, such as London,
New York, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam,
etc, act instantly in harmony. Any
broad-minded view of financial condi-
tons today must, therefore, be the in
ternational view; and we can hardly
expect a strong and confident market
in New York when the great financial
interests in London and Paris are so
obviously concerned over the political
outlook Taken altogether, the for
eign situation is undoubtedly better
than week ago, but underlying con-
ditions are so varied, so complex and
so bound VI with international dignity
that it is fair to assume that a con-
siderable period of continued unsettle-
ment in financial circles is still among
the immediate probabilities before har-
mony is finally restored"
