cuse him for wanting to be a pauper.
 The world really does not owe any man a living. unless he earns it. Society owes him fair chance with every other man to earn a living. and men in need. who are able b died, should be provided with the means of earning bread. when out Of employment. and not with cash donations. The cash should 20 to the helpless and infirm, of which every community has it's share.
 It is just as wrong for the work ingman to live eff the earnings of others as it is for the rich to squander that which they have not earned. This experience of the Coast cities brings us face to face with the realization that the good and the worthless arc pretty we'll distributed among the rich and the poor alike. md that We find the selfish men in every social class

LEASING COAL LANDS.

C ngress is now considering the plan of leasing the coal lands of Alaska. If some plan can be found by which the government can get it's just share of the wealth that the coal mines contain, then the leasing plan will probably be the best, for it is not probable that the govern ment could really earn more by its 5wn development of the mines,
 Next to the building of a railroad, he development of the coal mines of Alaska will do more to bring the territory to the front than anything else just now.
 At the present time, the uni,ed States is shipping large amounts of coal each year fir m Australia to San Francisco and other Pacific
 orts to be used in its navy and its transport service. While the govern ment is paying revenues to for elgn country II IS ledNlnS US vast coal beds untouched.
 The steamers that visit the Alaska
 oast are using coal mined in Cana ia. and an export duty on the coal is being paid to the Canadian govern ment. Even the railroads that have already been constructed in Alaska must buy this foreign coal, although hey are close to natural beds of this product that narrow minded Republican administration refused 70 allow t5 be mined.
 It has been charged that the con- seryation policy was backed up by foreign coal interest, which wanted to dispose of it's products to American buyers, but this seems only to be supposition.
 Instead Cf sending our money to foreign countries to pay foreign coal miners wages and their bosses big revenues, We should keep our money It home. provide work for our own people and the United States gv- ernment should get the benefit of some of the natural wealth that is found within it's borders.

MORE ABOUT KLoPscH.

Self-respecting newspapers. Ike sef-respecting individuals, naturally hesitate about mentioning the nam IS 5f degraded individuals fir whom they have no sentiment of toleration But from news standpoint they must be mentioned and editorial attention must be directed to their unworthiness. simply to put the pub lie on it's guard. It was for this reason that The Citizen published the result cf the trial of Louis klopsch last week on charge of contempt or court. and made editorial comment concerning that individual
 Klopsch has been accused in the columns of this paper of being q thief. a degraded associate of fallen women. of being a c7wardly black mailer. and. in short, of having no moral instinct.
 Any man who has in him any man hood. would have resented sucn damaging accusations if they were not true and subject 10 proof. But Nlopsch has mt even denied the truth Of these charges. and his only answer to them has been silly allega- tions charging the owner of The Citizen with the inability to edit his own paper.
 The Citizen is not going to de grade itself by seriously discussing the foolish statements in the paper published by Kl psch, but it is ready and willing to go into court at any time. if so required, and prove the truth of the assertions it makes con corning Klopsch and his untitness 70 be a part of a respectable com munity

TRYING.

What matters the things y-u have
 failed to do? The breeze is cool and the skies are
 blue, The streamlets sing and the plains
 are wide What matters it that you failed?
 You tried. You tried to do it and failed that's
 all; You tried to climb and you had to
 fall; There yet are prizes for you to win. And there's fight in you. Sail in.
 Sail in. What matters the goal you have fail
 ed to make, Pass up the grieving, forget the ache; The winds are cool and the skies are
 blue,
 you; And there are goals you may yet attain, And there are heights that you may yet gain; Go to 1t laughing and eager eyed. The men who fail are the men who tried. The men who fail are the men who went At thing worth doing until they were spent. And it wasn't failure You'l try again And you will win to the goal, and then You will see how deep are the skies and blue When the ones you love shall be proud of you. And what will your failure be to you then? Men never fail who dare try again.

COUNCIL WAS NOT AT FAULT

In justice to the members of the city council an explanation is due concerning the much discussed ques- tion of paying the teachers for the time the schools were closed in January
 Previous to the present school year, the teachers contracts called for nine months work. without specifying the exact m mcnths in which the teach ing should be done Thus it has been possible in the past to close the schools, if necessary. for a time and to extend the teaching term a little later in the summer season to make up for the loss.
 The councilmen have explained that when the suggestion was made to withhold the pay for part of January, they were under the inn pression that the time could be made up at the end of the season. and that 1t was not their intention to deprive the teachers of a part of the salary due them for the year. When it was explained to them that the con tracts this year specify the dates for opening and closing the schools, the council paid the full January salar- les without further hesitation.

THE JAPANESE PROBLEM.

Photographic dispatches of the last few days state that South Carolina is following the lead set by Californ- ia in passing law preventing Asiatics from owning land.
 Such laws are the natural result of racial differences, which Japan with all her threats will nCt be able to prevent The sooner the Japanese people come to realize that there exists wide social chasm between them and the white people. which neither education nor anything else for all concerned.
 It is just as contrary to the laws white people to mix socially with the Asiatics as it is for coal oil and water to mix The latter is prevent ed by the difference in their specific gravity, while the former is made impossible by the difference in their .emperamental elevation.
 The demands made by the Japan ese on the United States regarding their rights here are not in conform ity with their treatment of white people in their own country. White people in Japan are not permitted to live in the hotels inhabited by the Japanese, but are forced to pat ronize institutions specially conducted for white people In almost all other matters, the Japanese make a dis tinction between their own pe0ple and foreigners, but at the same time they have the presumption to insist that the United States must give them equal privileges in our country with our native born people.
 When a few years ago, the people of San Francisco decided to put the Chinese and Japanese in an Oriental school and to keep them from at tending the same schools with the white children, Japan made such bluff that President Roosevelt had to use his "big stick" over the school board of San Francisco to pacify the Japs.

HELP FOR UNEMPLOYED,

Pacific coast cities have been con- fronted with serious problem this winter in the caring for armies of unemployed men, who came westward to look for work that was not there. The real cause of the lack of work everywhere has been due to the general financial stringency that pre- vailed last year throughput the coun- try, but it is hardly just that the Pacific coast cities should be required to provide support for people not really belonging there.
 In Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, the city govern ments took up the matter Of provid- ing the men with work enough to keep them in food. but it was not possible for the cities to do more than this, in view of the great num- Der of men needing work.
 The really sincere men, these who are honest enough to want 10 earn heir own living, did what work was offered to them, and the best of them, realizing that the city was no place for a man under those conditions, went into the country and accepted what ever was to be obtained, pending a change in the general conditions of the country
 It was found, however, that there was a large number of men who would not accept the work offered them and on the assumption that the world owed them a living insisted that they be provided with money enough to live upon without having to accept the jobs offered.
 Everyone will admit that the work ing man as rule has a harder load to bear than anyone else and that he should be protected in every way possible from the greed of the rich At the same time the really honest working man, the one who has man. hood and personal pride. does not want anyone else to support him while he is able to earn his own living. He may feel that he is not getting his just share of the wealth of the world, but that will not ex-
