OPTIMISM.

It's grand old world, and life to you
Is what you choose to make it,
Forget the strife in your daily life,
If you don't like it, shake it.
Don't envy the chap that wears smile,
For he has his troubles, too,
But little mirth on this old Earth
Let's lots of sunshine through.
All sorts of people make up world,
And you chance to be one of the sad
ones,
Try, for while, a continual smile,
And you'll find yourself one Of the
glad ones.

OFFICIAL PAPER.

THE MuSHER.

Under the caption Hunting Sear and Polar Bear" Captain F. F.. Klein schmidt. whom is so we'll known in this Northern country, writes an inter esting descriptive story, which was published in recent issue of the Pa cific Monthly, in which he gives a good description of the wearing apparel of the Alaskan musher. Capt Klein schmidt says:
 Most people have in mind [ ure of dog team travelling in Alaska. a man sitting. huddled u pin furs, in sleight. cracking a long whip behind a string of dogs. Such a sight is never seen- except in drawings by artists who never saw Alaska. \ good dog musher is a good foot racer You are dressed according to the temperature and the gait you are running with your team. It's as dangerous to dress too warm as It Is not to have enough on. Your usual full dress for travelling or hunting consists of the following garments:
 Beginning with suit of heavy wool en underwear, you put on a pair of woolen stockings. next pal of sealskln or deerskin pants tsome men use blan- ket lined oyerallsD: next you slip on n pair of socks that reach a little over your ankles. made of dcerskin tfur in- side) or sheepskin: next a pair of Es- kimo boots called mukluks. made of sealskin, or reindeerskin: then you put on sweater: next light fur blouse with hood. usually made of squirrel or lawn. fur inside This Is called a parka or artego

A knit wooden. or very light, fur cap completes the out. ht You can readily see you have here a combination of garments that will allow quick interchange to shit the conditions you meet on the trail Much of the time. Of course. you win not heed all of the parkas."

ROAD TO PROSPERITY

The proposed trade agreement with Canada opens a new chapter in politics
 It presents a new kind of issue-an issue that evokes the latent statesman ship of the whole American eIectoate to combat hundred little armies of sectional privilege and special interest
 The president in promulgating this agreement has risked a bold stroke of public policy trusting to the soundness of the proposal and the common sense ot the nation to sweep aside the spe- cial pleadings of groups and factions.
 There can be no question that MT. Taft has proved his sincerity as a tarin reformer and shown the country an open road that leads straight toward better times.
 lie speaks with cautious under state ment in saying that the proposed new trade relations with Canada will at least make hard sledding for the gam blers in foodstuffs.
 The truth is that the houser1eener ana the cupboard will reap enormous benefits.
 Let the people but back up the presi. dent in this brave initial move toward the overthrow Of trade privileges. and they will be in a far way to clear all the roads that have been cumbcred bv monopoly.
 The question presented is crucial lest "i American public spirit and the American capacity for those large views tat are indispensable to a self ghv' ming people.-Ex.

AS a matter of fact, the skilled men in many trades are now drawn form for eign lands
 The tremendous industrial progress of Germany in recent years every stu dent of the subject credits largely to the numerous-almost innumerable- trades schools scattered all over the empire. There is not a trade or in dustry preparation for which a Ger man boy or girl cannot find a school ready to supply him withal In the situation offered here Indianapolis has an opportunity to be a leader in the movement for trades education The plant, of large value. is ready to it's hand. All 1t has to do is accept if and proceed to use it at moderate expense for this practical cause. It is estimat- ed that the proposed tax of cents on each s11O0 of valuation will produce a fund ample for the conduct and de- veolpment of the school We believe the legislature will meet the wishes of the great body of citizens of Indianap- oils and will be serving the hest inter- ests of the cty and the state if 1t shall pass the proposed bill.

 The attention of the street committee being called to the condition of the road between the north approach of Snake river bridge and First avenue west, had the desired effect. for they promptly put men to work also a scraper team and made the street passable so children and women could pass and repass without having to wade through many feet of mud and water.

When the ice commences to move there will be such geat pressure of water back of it, it is liable to jam and pile up many feet in height much the same as it did during the early days of the camp.

George Washington Dies;
Little Friends Mourn
George Washington is dead.

George washington is dead.
No one knew he was ill., So he died
without medical attention.
George was patriarchal colored man
who was about as we'll known in the
neighborhood of his home at 2707 X
street northwest, as is the father of his
country in history.
He was a particular friend of the
children. and used to allow them to
play about the front yard of his house,
where he has lived alone for the past
five or six years. The youngsters
missed him for the last few days. This
morning one of them peered in his
window and saw his prostrate form on
his cot.
Since George died without medical at
tention the coroner was notified and he
will investigate the case this afternoon.
