MILD WEATHER IS JUNEAU'S
 IN PAST THIRTY DAYS

The opinion advanced by some that Juneau weather is very severe is shat tered by glance at the weather re- port of the last thirty days, as ob- served by I. J. Sharick, volunteer U. s. observer.
 December was the warmest day during thirty days time. The maximum temperature on that date was 49 above and the minimum 46.
 The coldest day in month was on November 21, when the thermometer fell to 29 degrees above zero. On that day the maximum temperature was p degrees above zero.
 With the goose-bone prophets still studying the elements, however, the prophecy that Alaska is going to ex perience severe winter still holds good.

LOCAL BACHELOR MAY
 BE MARRIED SOON

Having ask ed for and been granted an indefinite leave of absence, U. 5. Deputy Marshal Hector Mclean, one of the most popular officials in First Alaska division judicial affairs, board ed the steamer Jefferson Saturday night and unceremoniously took his leave of Juneau.
 Deputy Marshal Mclean departure has given rise to the rumor that the trip has more than mere objective point In short, it is reckoned that Hector Mclean will not return from Seattle, or whither he went, alone.
 To anyone who has not had the pleasure of really knowing Hector Mclean, his actions for two or three days prior to the sailing of the Jeffer- son differed little from his accustom- ed habits. But to his friends it was ap- parent that MT. Mclean had something unusual on his mind. A mere leave of absence from duty at the marshals of fee is not a criterion of marriage, but failure to get reservation south by steamer until the last minute of sail ing smacks of matrimonial intentions.
 Marshal Mclean is a conscientious official and will surely be back at the coming session of court, which convenes January 3, where he is needed.
 Meanwhile all eyes will be focused on northbound passenger lists for the names of MT. and Mrs. Hector Nc Lean.

DEMOCRATIC RESPONSIBILITIES.

Democracy's responsibilities have
begun. For the first time in de-
cade and a half the democrats are in
control of the house of representatives.
With the aid Of republican insurgents
they can dominate the senate, for with
all vacancies filled, that body viii
stand so republicans and AZ demo-
Gratis Judged by their actions in the
past, there are at least five insurgents
who may be willing to line up with
the democrats in the revision of GER
tain schedules of the Payne-Aldri2h
law 1t is the purpose of the demo-
cratic leaders Of the House to afford
them an opportunity to demonstrate
exactly what kind of revisionists they
are.
The situation confronting the demJ-
Gratis holds forth great possibiliti 5,
and yet it is abound with perils With
out doubt the course they pursue and
the results they achieve at the extra
session, which begins April 4, will
foreshadow unerringly whether or not
their party will be successful in the
national elections i'm 1912 The quas-
ton uppermost in the minds OF men
in both parties now is:
"Will they steer clear of the shoals
and land the party craft in a safe
haven, or will they steer it onto the
rocks?"
The vote OF the country last NJ.
vember was more a manifestation OF
lack of confidence in the republicans
than certificate of unquesJioning CON
fidence in the democrats A major
ity OF the voters expressed the opin-
ion by their ballots that the repubi-
cans had not given sufficient heed to
the public interests and resolved 70
give the democrats a trial at the con-
duct Of government affairs.
This experiment is now about toj
begin, although the democrats areI

CGrantland Rice.)

The little boy smiled in his sleep that
night,
AS he wandered to Twilight Town.
And his face lit up with a heavenly
light
Thru the shadows that drifted down;
But he woke the next morning with
tear-stained eye
In the light of the gray dawn's
CLEAN,
And out of the stiffness we heard him
cry,
I've lost my dream-my dream
And he told us then in his childish
way,
Of the wonderful dream he'd known;
He had wandered away from the land
of play
To the distant land of the Grown;
He had won his share of the fame and
fight
In the struggle and toll of men;
And he s0bbed and sighed in the break
ing light,
q want my dream again."
AS the years passed by the Little Boy
grew
Till he came to the Land of the
Grown;
And the dream of his early youth came
true,
The dream that he thought had
flown;
Yet once again he smiled in his sleep
When those near by might have heard
him weep,
q want my dream-my dream!"
For he dreamed of the Yesterdays Of
Youth,
And the smile of mothers face;
A hearth of old-time faith and truth
In the light of an old home place;
He had won his share of the fame and
fight
In the struggle and toll of men
Yet he sobbed and sighed in the break
ing light,
81 want my dream again.

somewhat handicapped by the fact that
republican sits in the white house.
Nevertheless, the opportunity is pres
ent for them to make good in large
measure, in view of the political com
pleXion of the senate
The leaders of the house have indi-
Gated quite early their general ideas
of revision, though they have not yet
gone into specifications. Speaker
Champ Clark, who is to be, and Rep
resentative Underwood, who is to be
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee, are in favor of schedule
by-schedule revision, that is to say, the
passage of separate bills dealing with
individual schedules of the present
law. Two vital matters in this con-
nection must be determined: First,
how many of these bills should there
be, and second, how deep shall be the
reductions of the present duties.
Already, as is perhaps natural, there
is a division of opinion on both points.
The rank and file are beginning to ex>
press their views. Some advocate the
reconstruction of every schedule in
the law. Others favor recasting four
or five of those which contributed 50
largely TO the unpopularity of the
Payne-Aldrich act, and to the defeat Of
the republican party in the last cams
paign Aside from the two problems
mentioned is the question whether tho
duties shall be levied upon strictly
revenue basis and the element of pro-
lection to American industries entirely
eliminated.
No matter how rigidly the democrats
practice economy, it will be impossible
to reduce materially the annual appro-
priations, which now approximate
three-quarters of a billion dollars net.
More than half of this is raised from
customs duties and just as soon as
the democrats begin to lower the rates
they must take into consideration the
very important fiscal problem of how
to make the governments income
equal to the outgo. 1t has always
been dangerous for the party in pow,r
to create deficit in the treasury.
Therefore, while it may be COM
paratively simple matter to cut the du-
ties on cottons and woolens, say %
or 80 per cent, or to put sugar, on
which between $50,O0O,OOO and 100000
GEO is annually collected on the free
list, it is not quite so easy as it
seems on paper to make up the losses
in revenue which follow the reduction
or abolition of prevailing rates.
Undoubtedly it win be proposed that,
as means of supplying possible def
ciencies, congress levy a tax upon in
comes. This plan was vigorously con-
tended for when the last tariff law
was under consideration. Democrats
and republican insurgents combined in
an effort to insert such a provision,
but were forestalled only by the sub
stitution of the recommendation of
the president, of tax of l per cent.
upon the net earnings of corporations,
and the adoption of a resolution sub
hitting to the states the question of
amending the federal constitution 50
as to specifically authorize congress
to tax individual Incomes.

Once in a while the sun shines out
And the arching skies are perfect
blue;
Once in a while, mid clouds of doubt,
Hopes fairest stars come peepiug

Our paths lead down to the meadows
fair,
Where the sweetest blossoms nod
and smile,
And We lay aside our cross of care,
Once in a while
Once in a while within our own
We clasp the hand Of a steadfast
friend;
Once in a while we hear a tone
OF love, with the hearts own voice
o blend;
true,
And on life's way is a golden smile,
Each thirsting flower is kissed with
dew,
Once in a while.
Once in a while in the desert sands
We find a spot of the fairest green:
Once in a while from where we stand
The hills of paradise are seen;
And perfect JOY in our hearts we
hold,
A joy that the world cannot defile;

gold,
Once in a while.
