The Kennel Club Cabaret for
the Denent OF the big dog race
Saturday night was one OF the
most interesting an entertaining
events OF the winter and was well
attended. The various numbers
on the program were the best in
the vauueviile line that have been
seen In Nome for long time and
were greatly enjoyed from hrst to
last PARTICULARLY effective num-
bers were rendered by a squad OF
the soldier lads from the fort; by
DR.. Sharpe and his bevy of dane

scream from start to finish and
the work OF both was OF the pro-
tessional order. DIR. Sharpe and
chorus were excellent and the
soloiers made great hit with
their audience in a realistic rep
resentation of soldering on the
border. Songs and dancing were
interspersed with bright dialogue
and concluded with wall climb
ing stunt that brought down the
house. The buresque turn of the
King of Mirth and Jollity" was
also good one and the partici-
pants, Messrs. Sharpe, Perrine
and Kerr made decided impress
sion as comedy stars. Miss Gym
thia Reed was clever in a medley
OF bright songs and Mrs. Runyon
fully sustained her program title
OF MONIES Sweetest Singer" in
rendering two delightful solos.
Miss Johnson and James Began
as the Ching Chings were very
effective and immensely pleasing
to the audience. Harry Pigeon in
his exhibition of bag punching
was good but owing to the defec-
tive apparatus did not have an
opportunity to show his remarka-
Bile abilities to good advantage.
The remainder of the program
was also good. The queen contest
formed not the least interesting
feature Of the evening and the
rapid rise of the votes was watch
ed with intense interest. Mrs.

THE GUNS BEGIN TO ROAR.

Senator Roots speech at the Republican
state convention in New York points unmis-
takably to the main course of the national cam
paign Republicans are preparing to wage.
The tariff, Panama Canal tolls, the govern
ment shipping bill, disorganization of the dip
lomatic service and even the Philippines will
be relegated to the rear as minor points. The
real smashing blows will be delivered on the
twain subjects of Mexican and European poll
cies.
Senator Root 3 denunciation of the foreign
policy of this government is SO nearly akin to
the breadsides which Theodore Roosevelt has
been hurting at Democracy that again is en-
phasfzed the approach of Republicans and Pro-
gressives to common political ground 1t
is recognized that they are seeking a basis for
harmony, and obviously here is a ready made
basis. In demanding foreign policy which
depends less on the passage of time and the
exchange of notes, and more on prompt and
fearless assertion of American rights and read
mess to act upon the assertion, Senator Root
might be quoting from some of the colonel's
recent magazine articles, platform speeches or
newspaper interviews.
Senator Roots address is all the more sig
niicant because he is already chosen by rumor
as the next secretary of state One observer
Of Washington affairs recently said that no
matter what Republican is elected president
providing of course it isn't Root himself-it
may be regarded as a certainty that the New
York statesman will be asked to accept the
portfolio of state
Coupled with the condemnation of Mr.. Will
son s foreign policy the Republicans will also
make preparedness" one of their main issues.
The failure of Secretary Garrison's continental
army scheme will be pointed to as an illustra-
ton of the administration unwillingness to
support material expansion of the military
and the alleged lack of encouragement which
the war secretary received from his chief will
in general be well to the fore as a campaign
argument
With Bryan and his pacifsts shifting the
administration on one side, with Roosevelt and
his anti pacifsts shifting on the other, with the
Republican leaders and stump-speakers smit-
ing around miscellaneously, national Democ-
racy is very likely to 60 into this presidential
campaign on the defensive. 1t has no concrete
military program, which is its greatest weak
ness before the country just now. War condi-
ti0ns have helped to make the new tariff law
either imperative or operating IN the wrong
direction. The one piece Of Democratic legis
lation to which it can point as valuable in a
national sense is the federal reserve act. And
campaign speech on the federal bank law is
poor material indeed with which to meet the
FIRE of political cannon loaded to the muzzle
with such resembling phrases as our Mexican
and foreign experiences have furnished. /
