REGISTRATION I5
 GOING SLOWLY

Up to ten o'clock this morning but 12O persons residing in Skag- way had registered, of whom 22 were women. This is a very poor showing as 155 were registered last year, and it looks as though this years registration will fail to come up to that number unless the voters, men and women, wake up and get busy, whereas with the ad- 6ition of the women to the voting population of Skagway there should be at least 25O ballots cast at the election week from tomorrow.

WHITE PASS HOSPITAL DANCE.

The W. P. Hospital dance on Saturday night was an unqualified success in every particular. A large crowd was present, a num- Der of whom were visitors from whitehorse, Ft. W. H. Seward and Haines besides several people who are stopping in town waiting for tomorrow's train to the interior. The hall had been tastefully dec orated and many conveniences ar ranged for the comfort of the lad les who were in attendance as guests.
 The ladies on the various com mittees deserve especial praise for their very efficient work not only prior to the time of the dance but during its progress in serving very appetizing assortment of vi ands to allure the taste.
 The members of Prof. o. Sel- mer's orchestra were in most complalsant and happy frame of mind and in consequence excelled themselves in their rendition of the numbers on the rather lengthy pro gram.
 The Skagway band boys also re- eeived an ovation from the dancers for the excellence of the music in the four extra numbers which they kindly gave.
 During the evening q flashlight picture was taken of the hall and dancers by Joe Tiozyma of the Pullen house.

IN THE FRENCH ACADEMY.

A celebrated name will disappear
this year from the official list of
members of the French academy
that of Lamartine. Many persons
will, perhaps, be surprised to learn
the great mans name has still fig
ured on the list, but it is the custom
of the academy to give each men,
ber's name with the name of the
member he succeeded Lamartine
was succeeded by Emile Olivier in
the seventh seat of the institute.
Olivier died last year, so on the list
for 1914 Lamartine's name will be
replaced by that of Olivier and the
latter's name by that of his success
sor, Bergson, who was lately elected
a member for the seventh seat.

NO TIME FOR REAL THINKING
Hustle Of the Age Preciudes POSSIBLE
lily Of Patient Thought and Elabo-
rate Expression.

Our modern philosophical sys-
TENS seem to have got down to mere
punches of maxims. Such is the
increasing national tendency to hurry
in everything, philosophy included,
that we have not the time for elabo-
rate systems. The nervous restless
ness which pervades business makes
it practically impossible for us to
study in detail that to which great
minds in other years have given pa
tient thought and elaborate express
sion. So we think, write and discuss
in tabloid, compacting into a few
pithy sentences all the rhetoric, the
wisdom, the philosophy of the ages.
1t is fortunate that Plato, Socrates
and Francis Bacon lived in a time
when books were few. Had they
lived today the Republic" the 'Dia-
logues" and the Novum Organum"
would probably have been written in
concentrated paragraphs, strongly
epigrammatic, in order to find read
ers who could spare the time from
the copious accounts of the ball
games, the mass of cheap fiction, or
the latest sensational divorce. Now
adays the majority of the people
avoid solid" literature or anything
that calls for reflection. They want
to be amused, not edited they pre-
fer qualification of the senses to
the search for wisdom and truth.
Does the fault rest with a superficial
educational system, or is it the in
evitable tendency of an age given
over to material things, and which
has no taste for those higher intellec-
tual pursuits that ennoble characterp

There is much Of the sound old
quality of Americanism in the cur

young man in a humble position won
the hand of young woman whose
parents we're financially Independent.
When the youth, occupying a modest
post in a business where promotions
are slow, fell in love with the young
woman whom he afterward won, he
went straight to her father and asked
for permission to court the daughter.
The father offered the familiar re-
Spouse. "Whoever marries my daugh-
ter must be in a position to support
her." But he undertook a little ex-
pertinent, looking to the possible fur
thering of the young mans suit. he
took the youth into his employ and
observed him closely. Incidentally,
he paid him higher wages than he
had been receiving in his former po-
sition.
The gratifying result was that the
young fellow acquitted himself like
a man, manifesting such virtues as
industry, application and persever-
ance. He made good-and he's 60
ing to get the girl.
Not a thrilling romantic story, of
course. But we like it a great deal
better than we should have done if
it had dealt with arrogance and stub
bornness and an elopement. It's
merely a simple chronicle dealing
with the excellent department of two
men-yet it's the sort of thing, we
believe, that makes for the better
ment of the race, the endurance of
affections and the stability of the
home.
