THANkS DUE COL. RICHARDSON

The best thanks are due by all Alaska to Colonel Richardson for the successful fight he has made to secure d half million dollars for the wagon roads this year. The chairman Of the road commission wenr to work early on this and has fought hard all the years while in Washington. It seemed that the figHt could never be successful but the doughty Colonel must have beeu able to put up. strong offen- siyc or else he had the standing and pull as well as theability. We here in Seward have overlooked 'hls wagon appropriation to some extent because we had our thoughts concentrated on the railroad mon ies. We have hardly yet realized the fact that this appropriation of half a million for roads is an i'm meuse one and about four times greater than anyone expected. It
 means the construction of many new roads and the opening of many new roads and the opening of many districts. Well done, Colonel. - Seward Post.

TUE CALL OF THE NoRTHLAND

The 'ssue oT the Seattle Post In teIhgeucer for Sunday July l6, con tatus d vacation magazine number. One story written by u. N. Ayres is written on Alaska and tue traffic tU the Eondertul nortnland. The article $ well written and the au- tucr has logically penned his thoughts for thousands or readers Jo .cau. Quoting from the article Us follows:
 Many men have gone to Alaska; IaLy have made their fortunes ln .lc streams or the bowels ot the earth, aEd taken the toll Of yellow back 10 the states" with firm de,egm.LGtiUu to remain wuere tGe Hgurs sIue brlgutest and 10 ell Joy IAe wealth gained by hard toll. Ina inclination seguOm lasts I0r any grea- length of time, however. Inc call Ot the NOrtuIaud is echo eu to tl4 wauderer, and Is toe SJgUug io be overcome. Sooner Ol .Lter .Ley go back in," only t. lind tba- the spirit of diScOntent still remains with them. Tn, states may offer their besf in tn, way o, bright lights, musical com edles, Congeuial companiOnShip, and everything else tba. goes to makt lie worth living, but there is . certain spirit iu the NOgthland that is found in no other part Of th, glcbe. l. calls, and the man Ol the North answers.
 "Jusr what the call is would bt hard to explain. Mystery is tht keynote of the NOrth.-mystery anL silence. And because of it's mys tery and silence those who have lived through the cold winters Ol Alaska, with the ice and snow ant silence, CT the wonderful summers with the midnight sun and beautifL scenery, are never satisfied else where. The old friends have changed back in the States" but the friends of Alaskan days never change. The hearty welcome am. handsnake always remain the same.
 We find that the author has found ne real kernel of the allur ing attraction thar pulls men and women to the territory and keeps them within its confines.
 To the Garden City is allotted representative space, descriptive oI the surrounding country and indus tries. From Skagway the autho! takes the reader to the interior with a graphic description of the mammoth inside.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

The hours will come, and come to every man, when task-work quiV- erS and palpitates with life; but perhaps they only come because we navu been, faithful, with a certain grimness, through the days of gloom. Let a man hold to his life work through mood and melancholy Let him hold to 1t through heaC' lche and through heartache. For He that obseryeth the wind will never sow; and he that regardeth the clouds will never reap. ."-G. H. Morrison.

The First Speech.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27-"Justice
without aggression" is the keynote OF
President Wilson's policy toward
Mexico, he told 1000 clergymen as
sembled in Aeolian hall here at noon
today.
The foundation OF peace is justice
without aggression" the president de.
clared. adding that he was commit

to work out her own affairs.
The presidents address was in re-
ply to an earnest expression Of appre-
citation Of his efforts to keep this
country at peace.
You have paid me a great homer

unduiy honored me as . man. In my
efforts for peace, ! have been con-
stantly recognizing the spirit OF
America and have acted through no
conviction of my own. 1t is hard to
hold the balance when so many pas

is the purpose OF the people to main
tain that balance.
"One must search for the founda-
ton of peace. can find no better
foundation than justice without ag-

pressed on a national scale. America

OF peace. the president said: II well

will prevail. Peace does not mean In

PARTIAL PROHIBITION.
LONDON, Jan. 27-The British

The whole British mercantile ma

be placed under government control.
Neutral countries, principally the
United States, from which most Of
the articles on the prohibition list
were imported, are the hardest hit by
the action Of the government.
Imports Of wood pulp, glass and to-
baeco will be permitted only In limit

government will later prohibit the
importation Of furniture, woods and
other raw material and the export Of
rags and waste from which paper and
other products may be manufactured.
