TWENTY MILLIONS IN eoLD
Seattle Times.D

The world gasped when. in 1897 the first treasure ship reached Seattle with ton and a half of gold. That shipment. with the manner of proclaiming the news to civilized nations, was enough to start fever throughout the globe.
 Nowadays the announcement that Alaska is produc- ing forty tons of precious metal or approximately S2O- 0OOO0O the year 1915 is mere incident The gold comes and goes. matter of ordinary consequence
 Agricultural Alaska. and Railroad Alaska have talk en large hold on attention That fact probably ac- counts for the rpesent state of the public mind. In 1897 it was the British Yukon that delivered its thrill ing shipment of royal metal In 1915 American Alaska has more than twenty-six times as much-and there is not even tremor.

ROOSEVELT SEES HIS END

Charles Willis Thompson, writing in the New York Times says Col. Roosevelt regards himself out of po- ties not from choice but because the people of the country have turned against him. The inrestng phase of Mr. Thompsons article is not the suggestion that Col Roosevelt cannot "come back" but the view point he suggests of Col Roosevelt himself That Col. Roosevelt is a shrewd politician and who observes closely has always been admitted None has been quick CT to catch the drift of public opinion to it to advantage But there has prevailed among many close students of public affairs the conviction that the for ner Presidents egoism would prevent him from real zing that he had ceased to possess the confidence of the American people
 Mir Thompson speaking Of Col. Rooseyelts frame of mind. says:
 Theodore Roosevelt regards himself as out of politics. not by his own choice. but by nee essty. He has been he thinks, gradually crowded to the wall and fenced in And he sees no prospect of altering the situation.
 He would like to take active part in the formation of the lines which the Presiden tal campaign of 1916 is to be conducted but as he looks at 1t he is hamstrung- If the peo- pie who are staying up nights worrying about what particular brand of devitry he is incu- batting knew what really in his mind they would feel calmer
 Some months ago private letter from him to @ supporter in another state found it's way into print. or part of it did part in whch the Colonel said that the people were tired" of him. It was a forcible way of putting what he was thinking Of and did not state all that on his mind; so it misunderstood. It was attributed to momentary detection over the de- feat Of 1914; but it represented settled com viction that is stronger now than then.
 This is not the result of depression the gloom of a downcast statesman who has met defeat It is not gloom at all. It is the clear eyed perception of a fact, what he thinks of 8 fact He is by all odds the abest politi- cal political observer in the country, with perfect genius for sizing up political situations and he never lets the wish be father to the thought. He faces unpleasant facts. In truth, # there is a defect iu his mental apparatus 1t is that he goes tco far In facing them He meets them rather more than half way.
 That there is substantial basis for Col. Rooseyets conviction that the people have become tired of hin none will doubt. That it took him long time to dis cover tiff he has really discovered it-is also un questionable There is also ample evidence that those who believed him incapable Of discovering had sub stantial basis for their estimates.
 When Col Rooseyel entered the campaign of 1s1. he was convinced that his popularity was such that majority of the American people would follow where he would lead He expected success that did not come
