PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON, who saved Alaska


sham will no doubt freely admit In those days some men were running Guggenheim organs for money, who are now running "dinky" Wickersham papers-for what?
 f. Nobody tried to interrupt the delegates speech and no riots were threatened.
 5. Judge Wickersham did deny all connection with the Johnson mine assessment bill, but he did not comply with the Prospectors' challenge that he read Congressman Johnson's wire to him holding him responsible for the bill.
 6. Judge Wickersham did attack the road commission for charging that it had opposed the railroad bill, but offered no proof except his own word The head of the road commission is on record in writing in favor of the railroad bill.
 Barring these little slips the Dis patch dope" is approximately correct in slip-shod way.
 (Note.-It is noteworthy that the Delegate did so to Fairbanks in spite of the alleged rosy telegrams)

Election: Nov. 3, 1914
HITTING THE PIPE

One of the freaks of the Alaska delegate campaign is the earnest eff fort of numerous citizens in divers towns to prove that if their candi- date is elected he will deliver to their aspiring hamlet the government rail road, with rolling stock and freight and passenger tariffs attached. If they all realize on this hope it will be an electric line because the 1000 miles ordered by the bill will have to be stretched some.
 Purveyors of vital information in nearly all of the coast towns claim t. have assurances that the present dele gate to Congress will put the rail- road just where they want 1t. Doubt less most of them are dreaming, or fabricating. It is only fair to Judge Wlckersham to say it is improbable that he promises railroad to every town that is wishing for it. Excite, able partisans stretch few pleasant remarks into promise and try to cash it into votes.
 Acquitting the delegate of the sus' picion that he circulates false prom ises of pretensions in this railroad business it is about time for the provincial statesman to quit 1t. May be so they will overdo it. It may seem clever to lead a guileless voter around behind the barn and set him down on an inverted horse bucket to tell him that eff Wickersham is elected we will get the railroad" If that wrinkle is worked in too many towns 1t will pan out like promising the postoffice to ten men and having them all find it out before election.
 The delegate from Alaska, whoever be may be, will have no more to dc with the location of the government railroad line than he will have in the termination of the war in Europe Wherefore, let the political promoters come down to earth and try to bar ter substantial reasons for yotes.- Valdez Prospector.

SLATE CREEK SHIPS
 S3o,oOo IN GOLD DUST

That the Slate Creek diggings are still producing is evidenced by the shipment on the Alameda yesterday of $SO,0OO in gold dust from the claim of Jack Miller on Slate Creek.
 MT. Miller stated that the season had been very favorable for all op- orators on the creek this year, as they had an abundance of water. Much dead work has been done this sum- mer and the outlook for next year was very promising. Most of the gold shipped yesterday came from the Miller Gulch claims, which has produced to date about half a mil lion dollars.-Valdez Miner.

catholicism"

Some time ago The Tidings called
attention to the growing use of the
term Catholicism" and branded it
as disrespectful and improper. We
are glad to see that The Pilot, of Bos-
ton, is Of the same mind. We quote
from its issue of March Z:
ITO add the suffix ism to q word
is ordinarily to attach to 1t term of
disparagment or contempt In max
ing this assertion we realize that
the appellation Catholicism is some.
times used even by Catholics, and
without intent to be disrespectful.
But the religion of Catholics is not
an 'ism,' and men who wish to be rever.
ent will not use the word Catholic.
ism after their attention has been
called to the misnomer."
This is eminently to the point. We
hope that Catholics who try to be
liberal when they talk about
Catholicism" will find a more appro.
pirate term to apply to their Church

THE HILLS OF TooREEN.


Within the seas Of Erin there is
many a lovely place.
Pronounced by poets and 'storied
men to be of matchless grace,
But though others praise those
places, and paint them bright and
green,
Ny feeble pen shall ever praise the
hills Of old Tooreen.
When standing on those lofty hills
the scene for miles around
More beauteous is than any that in
Ireland can be found.
Such lovely scenery. I will maintain,
could not be seen
Except by a spectator on the hills Of
old Tooreen.
When to those hills each Sunday eve
the neighbors come along.
The air resounds with echoes clear
and gems of brilliant song;
The fiddler. too, his notes will play.
while o FER the carpet green
The lads and lasses whirling are on
the hills Of old Tooreen.
Just hearken to the merry strains
that float on evening air.
Bout heroes bold that lived of old
in Erin g valleys fair,
Or yet about the glorious days poor
Roisin Dubh has seen
Such verses ring each Sunday on the
hills of old Tooreen.
But now the songs concluded, and
the sprightly dance begins,
The fiddler plays his very best.-he
tightens up his strings.
Then jigs and reels are danced ga
lore till fall the shades Of ZEN.
And twilight shadows deepen on the
hills of old Tooreen.
And then, when deepening shadows
are pierced by Aurora Is blaze.
They all desert those lovely hills, and
homewards wend their ways;
Not one would dare to linger when
the evening star is seen
IT'S said that fairies sport upon the
hills of old Tooreen.
love those hills Of Tooreen. love
each blade of grass.
o Ter which often rambled on a Sun
day after Mass;
With comrades gay and blithesome
every Sunday I'd be seen,
Peregrinating DER those hills that
rise above Tooreen.
Bad cess from time! Those friends
are gone that loved long ago.
And hearts seem cold compared with
those I one time used to know;
Gone has each stalwart bouchal. also
each fair colleen,
And everything is changed except the
hills of old Tooreen.
o! glorious hills. whose verdan,
crown is not far fro mthe sky.
To you until some other time III
have to say goodbye;
So I'll lay down my rustic pen til
something unforeseen
Shall win it back to praise again, tn,
hills of old Toreen.
