Being ReguIar.-Some Democratic
politicians who don't like Roger Sulli-
van are supporting him for U. S. SEN
ator for no better reason than that
they want to be regular.
Some Republicans are supporting
Sherman for the same reason-or
lack of reason. .'.-..st
But did it ever occur to YOU that
nobody has to be regular except a
man who wants to run for Office some
day? "
Ninety-nine per cent. of both Re-
pubicans and Democrats are not Of
ficeholders and don't expect to be.
Being one thing or the other makes
no difference to them, so far as their
daily bread and daily life are con-
cerned. The average partisan is a
Democrat or Republican because his
father was before him, or. because. he
got started that way and let it be-
come habit. It doesn't get him a
cent.
His party never did anything for
him and never will Each party is
run by the organization, and the or
CARNATIONS are run by the office
holders. The so-caIled public servants
are the party masters.
To a man who owns himself and
controls his own provided he is
not capitalist-there can be no
argument as to the respective merits
Of Roger Sullivan, Larry Sherman
and Raymond Robins.
Sullivan got rich through the Og-
den Gas franchise, and his interests
are the interests of the pubIic-serVice
corporations. Sherman has been a
mere tool of these same interests.
Robins has been a workingman and
has always been a partisan of the
working class. His interest has been
in humanity, while SulliVan's has

ONE MANS OPINIONS
Darn the Lawyers.-Graham Tay-
lor, who hands down from high-brow
heights swell humanitarianism for
the Daily News, offers as an argu-
ment for the election of John E.
Northup as county judge that North
up was preferred by 900 lawyers
while Judge Scully was preferred by
only 317.
Thatssa darned poor argument,
and would be just as poor if the fig
ures had been t'other way around.
Then Taylor proceeds to say that
this judgment comedies with that of
the public-spiTited citizens as to the
qualifications of these two candidates
for the county judgeship."
What l want to know is, how in
thunder Graham Taylor knows what
the judgment of public-spirited citi-
zens is. l think it is a safe bet that
there are public-spiTited citizens who
favor Scully, others who favor North
up and still others who favor Cum
nea; and don't think Graham Tay-
lOr knows enough to speak so gener-
ally for pUblic-spirited citizens.
He may think he knows. That is
often evident by his cocksureness
when writing stuff for the News. But
l think Taylor only does little think
ing himself, figures out what Law
son wants and then assumes that all
public-spiirted citizens ought to want
what Lawson wants whether they do
or not.
My own judgment is that Northup
was picked long ago by the trust
newspapers, and advertised in ad-
vance of the primaries by being made
a special states attorney with a spe-
cial grand jury, and then given lots
Of special advertising in the news
papers that are Dlaying the game.

EVENTS or INTEREST FROM THE SEAT
OF GOVERNMENT
Washington, y. c., Jan 81, 1914
BY E. jones.
ALASKA REDIscoVERED.

The most important thing
ever done in reference to Alaska
since the United States pUrch-
ased it for a song, was the pass
age by the Senate of the bill
providing for a railroad in that
country. The House of Repre-
sentatives will undoubtedly con-
cur in the Senate measure
which will give to that great
region railroad one thousand
miles long. The road in itself
is important, but the fact that
the United States has declared
that it proposes to back the
Alaskan proposition to theextent
of $40, 900, 900 means more than
simply a streak of rust, screech-
ing locomotives, and freight
cars travelling through a barren
waste. In short the isolating of
Alaska is to be brought to an
end, and ran aggressive policy
to develop the great resources is
to be carried on-our greatest
storehouse of wealth are to he
opened. The generalimpression
is that Alaska is a frigid region,
whereas the mean annual tenn
perature of Sitka is about the
same as that of Washington, D
G. Likewise it is learned that
Alaska has numerous deep land
looked, ice-free harbors; and the
coast line is 1900 miles long.
while there are six thousand
miles or nayigable rivers in the
country. OF course, portions of
Alaska are extremely cold, but
it is a region of great variety.
The siXty-five thonsend people
of that country have certainly
showd their patience, and now
that the government has joined
the boosters club there will
doubtless be a great movement
toward the rich region.

HIS HOPES ARE FALLAcloUs.

A Chicago inventor claims to have produced 8 steel so hard and strong that even the biggest of cannon can- not penetrate or crush it with their missiles. And such steel, he asserts, if used in the construction of forts, will make their taking impossible and so put an end to war.
 His argument is difficult to follow, even admitting the impregnability of his forts, but why admit it-why not use the plausible assumption that the shells of the besieging enemy will al- so be made of the new steel? In that case the impregnable forts .f6ques- tionably will be battered down, for any material in rapid motion can de- stroy the same material at rest.
 The Chicago man has simply re. vived the ancient puzzle-what would happen if an irresistible force were applied to an immovable body? War will be ended. if ever, by changes
