The above, from the trenchant pen of Editor John w. Troy, is praise indeed, for as is well known among the older residents of Skag way, Nr. Troy for several year lived here amid the hustle and tur moiI of stampeders, packers Sand railroad workers, when the town was in it's infancy and the w. P & Y. R. yet in embryo. He after ward stayed long enough to sec and realize that the Skagway valley had productive capacities undreamed O by the ordinary observer. How true this was, is amply proven by the two exhibitions of horticulture and agricultural products that hay taken place here. The exhibits were of wondrous beauty and al most abnormal size and were view ed and spoken of by outside visitor with surprised delight.

 The crudensss of the earlg days when the town was filled with eag CT, feyerish argonauts, bound for th golden Kloudike, has long since dis appeared. and peace reigns where once the roar and surge Of the maddiug crowd alone wore heard.

form the vatican law courts, no one
at Rome ever pretends that such in

direct and subtle but efficacious ways.
Even while Patrizi is threatening
to expose what he alleges has been
done by the duchess attorneys in this
respect, the latter are declaring that
there is no mystery at all about the
Irecent favorable decisions for Count
IBoni. They are asserting that it is
already common gossip that the de-

after he had come to Rome and made
known that at Paris he had been a

MEASURING SUCCESS.

He was man of middle age looking
back over the trail he had made and
spoke in disconnected tone: Il have
failed of most of the dreams I had
when l was a boy. The things I meant
to do I have not done. the things
have done have been the things
meant not to do when l was a young
man and laid out my course in life. But
as 1 look back on it I am convinced
that tried. I failed but l tried and
that is some satisfaction
But the man hadn't failed in fact.
Perhaps he hadn't travelled the roads
he had mapped, but he had travelled
far.
His estimate Of himself is not the
estimate those who know him best put
upon him. They would not admit that
he had failed. Wealth and high honors
he has missed, but he is a good man.
And the roads to that goal are uphill
all the way and long. Who reaches

ought to be for the man who attains
it the chamber of content and peace.
cess than this: that the race has been
run honestly thru with all the strength
of the runner, that from start to the
finish line he has striven to the limit
Of capacity and understanding There
is no victory except of striving, no
victor save he who has tried" The
only real basis for sense of failure
is the knowledge that he has not
tried"
One came into the world. poor and
a pilgrim. His sandals marked the
dusty highways of Judea and His life
was spent among the poor ana
despised. In all His sojuorn on earth
He held no high honor, met no praise,
and entered the cham
Der of peace by the via crucis. And
in His humanity, He too sorrowed as
over failure and wept as one who had
suffered loss.
History is not to be written within
the lifetime of those who make It,
Neither is the SUCCESS or failure OF a
life to be measured by itself. For we
mistake defeat for victory and hail the
laggard as victor before the dust of the
contest lifts and the course clears.
Perhaps We have done the things we
had hoped we might not. have failed of
those We expected but to the man who
has striven with all his strength and
understanding belongs the crown.

WHAT THE CONTRACTOR SAID

It was on Chicago & Northwestern

gether discussing matters pertaining
particularly to the branch of the build
ing business In which they were engaged.
These men were talking business, not
morals discussing men as regards their
efficiency ard not as citizens.
They spoke of various "iobs' here
and there, spoke of men capable of
putting in" these jobs properly,
praised some and deprecated others. In
the course of this discussion of me-
chanics one of the experts spoke to
one Of the others: There's a man III

agreed with him that the seven year
period is more than sufficient to utter

an untrustworthy. incapable whom no
company bent on building up and re-

Governor Clarke has asked the legas
:ature to investigate the white slave
traffic in this state. We do not believe
there is much real traffic in Iowa. 1t
is a sort of itinerant immortality that
we have in this state. But an investi-
cation may not be out Of order. How
ever, the suggestion that two-year
commission be created is not good. We
have too many commissions now in
this state. They are simply in each
others way. The most they do is to
draw salaries. Professional Investigate

a considerable force in this state sup
posed to prosecute the offenders. We
have ninety-nine grand juries. several

forcers if the ones we have do not do

There is neither reason nor occasion
to wax maudlin over Haley. The prison
may be old and unsanitary; the punish
ment is such as to sooner or later have
it's physical and mental effect upon the
man confined but what is to be done
about it? Is Haley to set himself above
the rules and by determined contumacy
win what other prisoners earn by good
behavior? What would the Tribune
suggest? Flogging, or any Of those
other medieval forms Of punishment?
Just what course have these news
