of moment in the Baltimore platform have been written into law.
 Mr. Wilson would have liked longer discussion of the extra session propo- sition. but the spontaneous co demand that the party come right up tO the scratch forced him to a prompt decis- ion. and no doubt formal statement of his acquiescence will be made in a few days. MT. Underwood's recent avowal that bills revising the tariff are in course of preparation for early ac- tion lets the fact be seen that the deomcratic leadership isa a unit on mode of procedure.
 However, something like a year must elapse before the new tariff and other radical departures can have gonI into effect and been subjected to the crucial test of the working out pro- cess. If Messrs. Hadley. Cummins and Kenyon would only hold off till then, instead of organizing a new progress stve party on the jump and challenging the Bull Moosers to a fight for the title, they might find all sorts of re- publicans eager to let begones be by zones and enlist together under a common banner in a grand effort to restore the status quo.
 While the Hadley -Cummins Kenyon movement proves that the progressive leaders still have no realizing sense of the folly of allowing personal ambi- tions and individual programs to out weigh the issues on which the bulk of the people are agreed. a year of un- derdog life at the mercy of the minor ity ought to be a plenty. unless politi- cal history and human nature have broken loose from their mOorings.- Ex.

So in a larger way will the great qualities which President Taft was supposed 10 possess dwindle to the view as he goes back to the plain mister. IL must he acknowledged that Taft manifested fine qualities since his defeat. He has shown a courage and resignation which any man might well be proud of, but great qualities in the defeated never create the en- thusiasm which they create when ex- hibited by the successful.
 on the other hand President Wilson goes into power surrounded with a halo which could never come from mere human qualities any more than could fire come from a flint without the action of an outside agent. Presi- dent Wilson is. however. a type of the men in whom government is safe.
 His words during his inaugural ad- dress show the sterling and humble heart If the man:

The legislature has passed its first resolution all right, all right.
 The first days work was to petition President Wilson to appoint no one in Alaska to jobs unless bona fide AL skans. That shows our legislators to he right on the job from the jump and it also shows that legislation can take a back seat for the moment until mat ters of infinitely greater importance are dispensed with.
 However, the resoluti, asking the president to make the report of The Alaska railway commission an impor- tant feature of his coming message 10 congress is a good move. That ls r. is something that no one could object to although it might sound little like putting President Wilson wise and asking him to forget the tariff. the Panama acnal, conservation, the trusts and a few other minor matters in favor of our railroad.
 But that's all right. The legisatur" did what was right and all Aiaskans should do their little best to get rail- roads built. but will Presiden. Wilson not think 1t just little bit queer to have a legislature talking about jobs and railroad building in the same breath?

The Tough Old Boys at Gettysburg

The wonderfully vitality of the vet erans at Gettysburg, whose ages aver aged about 70 years, is a subject of uni versal comment. It was fully expected that in the torrid heats of southern Pennsylvania and with changes of diet and water and the fatigues incident to sightseeing over wide field there would be many fatal prostrations. The army physicians were amazed to find that these men bore the heat and fatigue as well, if not better, than an ordinary pic Dic crowd of the same size under similar circumstances. The explanation is given that the two armies in the Civil war were composed mostly of lads under 20 years of age of good physique and high spirit who became thoroughly seasoned and hardened by their experiences in the war. The physically weak and less adventurous died off or got discharges or have succeeded to infirmities since the close of the war. The world never saw a finer spectacle than the review of the Union army in Washington in 1865 after Lees surrender. The many thousands of men who passed under review by Lin coin and Grant were the flower of American manhood, toughened by many campaigns and physically sound to the core. The Confederates who broke ranks at Appomatox to return to their homes and begin life anew were of the same splendid type. The two armies at that time were incomp arably the best soldiery in the world.

Conscience Makes Cowards.

A quiet, bashful sort of young fellow was making call on girl one evening not very long ago, when her father came into the parlor with his watch in his hand, says an exchange. It was about 9:30 o'clock. At the moment the young man was standing on chair straighten, ing picture over the piano. The girl had asked him to fix it. As he turned, the old gentleman, a gruff, stout fellow said :-
 "Young man, do you know what time it is?"
 The bashful youth got off the chair nervously. "Yes, sir," he replied. "I was just going"
 He went into the hall without any de. lay, and took his hat and coat. The girls father followed him. As the caller reached for the door-knob, the old gen. tleman again asked him if he knew what time 1t was.
 "Yes, sir,' was the youths reply. "Good night!" And he left without waiting to put his coat on.''
 After the door had closed the old gen. tleman turned to the girl.
 "What's the matter with that fellow?' he asked. My watch ran down this afternoon and I wanted him to tell me the time, so that I could set it."

Letters From the People
Was it a Trick?

To the Editor of The News:
 I read in your paper recently that there would have to be another town meeting to build either one of the roads that the town decided upon in special meeting several weeks ago. That is the result of splitting the appropriation in order to try to satisfy all factions. It looks like a victory for the anti-good roads people, who seemed willing all at once to vote for roads when the motion was made to include both roads instead of one. Evidently they knew that the plan would not work, when it was put up to the state highway commissioner, and that instead of having two roads built we would not have any. They could vote for the motion easy enough, and then laugh at the good roads advo- cates. They were too clever for the ''progressives." "r
