"sTAR sPANeLED BANNER"
 IS TO BE IGNORED

The centenial of the writing of the Star Spangled Banner" will be ob- served this year by extensive cele- brations at Baltimore for the week beginning September 16th, and the Star Spangled Banner Centenial Com mission is making an effort to have the school children of the country made familiar with the song and the story of it's writing.
 The Department of Education in Al. aska received letter from Robert E. Lee, executive secretary of the asso- citation, dated April 18th, in which 1t is said:
 "The Centenary of the writing of the Star Spangled Banner will be observ- ed in an appropriate manner in the City of Baltimore, from September 9th to the 18th 1914. As this great patriotic event is one that is of vital interest to every person in the coun. try, it seems fitting that the import ance of the celebration and its true character should be spread broadcast. In view of the world conditions of to- day, more opportune time could not have been selected, and it is the be- . lief of the Centennial Commission that the story of the incidents that inspir- ed Francis Scott Key to write the Ma tional anthem should be placed before the school children throughout the land. We respectfully request, there fore, that you cooperate with us, and that in your Territory every child be made familiar with this matter We shall be grateful for any suggestions you care to make as to how this should be done, and if it is your desire, we will send literature for distribution"

CHISANA OFFICIALS
 ARE MAKING GOOD

The miners and prospectors of the Chisana camp are well pleased with the two government officials in the new mining camp and report that Frank Hoffman and Tony Dimond as United States marshal and U. S. com missioner have made good.
 Both men are old sourdoughs and have thorough knowledge of the work they are called upon to do. Neither is narrow.minded and in spite of the fact that 600 men from all sections of Alaska have gone into the camp, which is miles away from any other officers of the law than Frank Hoffman and Judge Dimond, they have maintained peace and quiet in the camp where gun fights and claim jumping were expected to bring on un- ending trouble.-Valdez Miner

The development work at the millsites has been in progress for a less period of time and is still in progress but a
 great deal has been accomplished here. The little pilot mill has been erected and has now been in operation for several weeks.

ALASKA BUREAU IS

The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce is seeking ad' ditional specimens in Alaska for its exhibit in the Chamber of Commerce quarters in the Central building.
 R. H. Stretch, assistant secretary of the Alaska Bureau, writing to the miners, commercial organizations and chambers of commerce in Alaska, " said:

JEFFERSON AND WILSON.
Seattle Sum-


 Democrats today are sitting down to dinners designed to honor the mem ory of Thomas Jefferson, first of great American Democrats. This is well, though 1t would be better if Americans generally were gathering to accord this tribute to the man who typifled the true spirit of the Nation; he was no more Democrat in the party sense than was Lincoln a Republican.
 But we do things largely through parties, and today through one nation. al party We are keeping alive Jeffer. sons memory. Study of the life and career of the third American Presi, dent cannot help rousing the thought that we are witnessing something of a reincarnation in the person of our twenty-tighth President, Woodrow VII. son.
 Jeffersonian democracy is a sounding phrase used more often thoughtlessly perhaps than otherwise. Just what 1t means, however, is not difficult to de. fine. The man who says, as many are fond of saying, 'T'm a Democrat with a small d." really sums up all there is of Jeffersonian democracy.
 Jefrerson's life seems to show that all men literally were equal in his sight, he himself of no more weight in the scales of eternity than any other and possessed of no more right to the pleasant things of life. Left to Jefferson alone, the Declaration of h. dependence would have contained a clause ending slavery in America; such a clause, drafted by him, was strIck. en by the more conservative patriots who joined in signing the instrument.
 Many fervid party orator will draw an analogy between the careers of the two great Americans, Tefrer. son and Wilson. There is this to be said for these orators:
 'History-as made a century ago and made now-will support their argu. ment.
