MANLINESS AND GENEROSITY

Whatever station history may ul- timateiy accord to Agustine Birrel and John Redmond it will say of one that he accepted disaster with simple msn1iness and with the other that he shared with generosity the burden of responsibility for the human and other wreckage of the Dublin insur- rection.
 Those were manly confessions which both the recent secretary of Ireland and the Irish nationalist lead CT made in the house of commons on Wednesday. MT. Birrel attempted no shifting of blame on others: he frank ly declared he had been too cocksure; ]; he had underestimated the desperate folly of the leaders of the outbreak and their dupes; he had not forseen
 these terrible consequences; he had not given due warning; he had failed in his duty, his hope and his aim to maintain unbroken the unity of Ire
 land in face of the common foe.
 Mir. Redmon, to whose gallant as istance' in that duty, hope and aim the fallen minister had paid striking tribute, generously assumed probably more than his share of the error. He confessed that he had concurred in the view that the danger of such an outbreak was not real, might have in- fiuenced MT. Birrel to treat warnings lightly, and felt that he had incur red some of the blame MT. Birrel took upon himself.
 When Englishmen can thus blame themselves rather than Ireland for an Irish calamity, and when Irishmen
 can thus confess that not "London's' alone was the misjudgment of Ire land, real progress seems to be mak- ing toward a healing understanding. It adds to the faith held by both and
 expressed by MT. Birrel that "this was no Irish rebellion" in the true sense, and that the convictions of the
 real Ireland are accurately expressed by the half million men of Irish blood
 who are fighting on all the fields of war.

a disease breeding spot to healthful place in a few months under these same regulations, and it is better to avoid an epidemic of typhus by being cleanly now than to sacrifice hundreds by Wickersham's desire to make polit- ical capital out of what was intended as a protection to the workingmen.
 If Wickersham and his obstruction ists at Anchorage succeed in killing this measure, and an epidemic breaks out the coming hot weather, will they shoulder the blame? Not they! They would loudly yell that the Govern ment was butehering poor working men by not exercising proper sanitary regulations.

HIGH SCHOOL DOG
 RACE CLASSY EVENT

The Nome Nugget of March 4, (by the way one of the last papers receiv- ed from that northern port), states that the Nome high school dog race started promptly on time with large crowd on hand to witness the youth full contestants tackle the winter trail behind the swift race dogs borrowed for the occasion from every kennel in town. The teams started at two min ute intervals and the crowd evidenced lively interest as each team sped over the starting line with the youth or maiden driver holding on to the rear end like approved dog mushers.
 Peter Sather proved the winner of the event, making the distance to the bridge at Nome river and back to town in the fast time of 29:33. Dan Kelley was second only few seconds behind the winner, his time being 29:55. Three seconds behind was the first of the young lady entries, Alice Peterson, who negotiated the distance in 29:58. Fourth place fell to Miss Kate Bongard, who arrived in 30:55, with Eric Sather fifth in 31:1O.

A LOT OF FUSS OVER NOTHING.

Wickersham's papers are making a horrible noise at Anchorage over the proposed passage of bill allowing the Commission police powers in the sanitary and other affairs of the city. Just where the occasion for alarm comes in we fail to see,, as yet, as it is identically the same bill that has been passed on every government work of any size in the past fifty years, and is designed to protect the health and morals of the employees of the road. With several thousand men allowed to dump filth and refuse at any point they pleased, and with dis solute women and whisky-peddlers following the army of laborers along the right-of-way as the track advanc- ed into the interior, it would be hard for the Commission to accomplish anything unless it had discretionary powers.
 When the Commission took charge of Panama they transformed it from
