OUTLOOK IS HOPEFUL

Backed by favorable report by the senate committee territories there every believe that bill providing for the construction under the auspices of the government will ultimately pass the congress, and there prospect that the will be pushed through at this session. Indeed the situation before appeared suspicious While bills have been introduced with this end ill vew has reached the advanced stage in its that has been achieved by the which the senate committee recommends for passage.
 The dispatches tell that the congress will consider currency legislation this session. This fact should greatly aid the progress of the Alaska railway b because aside from the tariff is the important pending before the congress.
 Another encouraging thing Is the fact that serious opposition to the bill has manifested itself The has the active support of Senators Ptma Chamberlain and Jones' and known to be favored by Senators La Toilette tow Poindexter Smith, Clarke Hughes Lewis and others.
 In the House. Delegate James Wckersham may be relied upon do yeoman work in its behalf and Congressman Scott Ferris chairman of the house committee territories will undoubtedly prove advocate And there others too mention.
 President Wilson is avowed believer in the federal building of railways Alaska and Secretary of State Bryan Secretary the Interior ane and the latest convert Secretary of War Garrison, open advocates of the policy.
 On the whole therefore, the outlook most encouraging for speedy deveranee from the tagnaon which has been the blight of this great resourceu country which awaits adequate transportation facilities to blossom the Steward Gateway.

A APPROACH DESERVED

member of the Japanese imperial diet has given inter. view in New York which, badly manged in the reporting, American psychology timely criticism and misunderstanding
 The wisest and the American people, the most useful of visitors remarks is his polite ebuke of irresponsible attitude toward We ourselves have appreciation of the folly of this attitude and is be hoped may have visitors who will speak with candor against it. We
 trust sincerely that Mr. Iakegosh estimate of the chances of conflict between Japan and the United States correct whether is not and whether with any country possible probable to considerable extent depend upon whether persist n the ignorance and carelesnes he deplores
 Speaking of our light manner of discussing war; Mr. Takegohi that Japan has learned its terrific reality and the people are deeply impressed with the horror and waste and peril of the arbramen of He justly reminds that have been blessed with great prosperity and peace long that not truly apprecatve of the blessings of either
 Nothing could be timely than this criticism The most outstanding fact of American character today is that the spoiled child of nations We talk of precisely the braggng child talks of ghtngwhout thought of ability or readiness, without of and consequence.
 This traditional folly It endures today after many staggering lessons which have refused to learn. Each generation takes up the aace which historians and public do explode and which the people continue to cherish We think improvise the trenmedous achievement of though history proves the contrary. We think supremely competent and nvncble and that our eventual success ill each conflict it. It nothing of the We not competent, nvincble. Very few of people disclose many examples of incompetence efisnes want of patriotism poltroonery of 1872.
 Today with the science of and military establishments developed to high stage of ompexy and perfection hold to vaor ignorance and illusions based and the misreading of our own history.
 Our Japanese critic is however asray when he draws the Russian for analoges, especially his remarkable reference to the Russian fleet which neither large fleet It the tragic imitation of navy ever afoat the Our not what it should be- but it ranks we'll to the front Furthermore statesmen realize and Sir Edward Grey publicly said the other day. the United States have capacy and if they desired it, create both military and naval force greater than anything the world has seen Danger of arises from the fact that while this known to statesmen not to their peoples and from the further fact that statesmen cherish the that humatng initial would induce the United States to make peace.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION

For the period of readustment necessarily following tariff revision the advantage of reformed currency system hardly needs argument The seasonal tension of the fall may be embarrassing than The situation in Europe to be slowly clearing far possibilities concerned but not be greatly relieved in other important respects The readustmens indicated by reduced tariff schedules may be discounted satisfactorily avoid serious disturbances Financial experts that fundamental conditions with sound Nevertheless wise currency legislation could be completed before adjournment of congress the factors of uncertainty would be very much weakened and novel element of confidence and security would appear
 Hope for expeditions results currency legislation hangs principally upon the influence of the president the leaders over congress If the foolish proposal of further money trust'' .ishHg wins strong backing II every popular fallacy we'll intended device must be thrashed ninabe debate the session would better alone There R however, hope that sound legislation the lines recommended by the monetary comm though modified to meet the most intelligent criticisms of the original plan be obtained It IS important that effort the president make to get sound bill enacted provid. for lons and the proper utilization and mobilization of their Tn time Of need should be honestly and vigorously backed by Progressves and Republicans we'll as by Democrats

PEDDLERS OF GLOOM.

Peddlers of gloom detriment to community.
 Gloom IS one ot the poorest of ll tse lighter luman assets.
 Meanchola is disease of the mind which finds many ways of expressing itself in the ordinary affairs life It is not necessary for person to be afflicted with manaca choa, or meanchoc mania, order to become nuisance and general derment to the community.
 Just plain ordinary but constant complaining will do work.
 Men and women who constantly complain who knock and who nothing but dark forebodngs the of the day, who smell disaster and ruin in every rng which to them their fellows detrimental nuisances and yet conuny has its fair quota of these peddes of gloom.
 They the rift in the couds they the smiling contagion which makes their fellows happy and fills their lives with the light and laughter of buoyant hopes and beautiful dreams to true for always they are depressed by fears that ancul and vain There not much of sweetness life these of shadows for they browse in hised pastures and feed unwecome things
 They become chronic guner and lose completely that pose of mind which would give them outlook upon the play of forces which enmesh them
 Often the good bad in the world is in ourselves
 Our biggest problem, as a rule, is in the mirror
 If we frown, problem frowns.
 If smile our problem smiles and difficulties seem to melt away.
 Pedders of gloom speak of hard mes and instantly the misery money grabber hurres his vault with his god buries locks the heavy door, and ghoulshy predicts rise in the per centum.
 It is the way of the world
 There not enough money in the world to qudate the debt gloomy talk and gloomy predictions have unoaded upon us What and need today and tomorrow is fewer pedders gloom and and of sanity and good cheer to peddle sunshine.

IDITAROD OUT OF DEBT

During the last twelve months the complexion o municipal affairs Idarod has undergone great change ago The city was overburdened with deb 1t handicapped by an extravagant body of councos and weighed down by an overpad and underworked official sa In fact for several

 Since November the change that has taken place the conduct municipal affairs must be gratifying all who have business other interests in the city. Faced with heavy debt and the necessity of meeting running expenses the established rule of from which they have not deviated The result is that within less than five months every of indebtedness has been and there Is cash balance the treasury to forward next years account
 Most of the councimen have expressed the opinion that assessments will be unnecessary in fuure that federal license moneys will be sufficient meet all We with them but submit that when councmen propound such

ARIZONA WANTS
 CONFERENCE
Southern MethOdists of the 18th State Request Gen eral Conference of Church to Erect New Annual Conference

The Arizona -istrict conference of the Los Angeles conference of the Methodist Episcopal church south is anxious to be erected into an independ- ent conference The members of the conference in Arizona feel that the dignity of the state demands that there should be an Arizona conference of the Southern Methodist church, even if it is a missionary conference. To this end therefore a memorial was prepared yesterday at the meeting of the Arizona preachers held at Bethel church which will be sent to the gen. eraI conference which meets next year, asking that the Arizona con ference be erected and that its boundaries be conterminous with those of the state.
 The general conference of the church which meets every four years is the only body that has the power to erect the annual conferences or order them to be organized. This IS tre reason that the Arizona district conference through it's preachers could not declare themselves into the Arizona annual conference at the ses- sious held yesterday. To secede in the. Southern Methodist church from
