Criticism of Modern Ways.

Today the tendency is, not to en
deavoT to make youths strong to re
slst, but to try to remove all stress
from them They must not be given
nard tasks at school; indeed, the CRY
IS that children must feel that school
IS play They must not be taught
obedience and respect, lest they be
servile- They must have much smuse-
ment All this is dependent upon the
idea that life is meant for pleasure
and that work is curse.-Dr. Charles
". Burr.

David ciaH.

On the 9Th of March David Clay died.
He was an old man. No one seemed TO
know his age. He had no relatives liv-
ing here. He was poor, the county
took him to the hospital, and then
buried him. He always seemed. to be a
man of mystery. No one was a close
friend to him. He had seen better
days. He was well educated but some
thing in his life seemed to have poison
ed his view of humanity. Thus passed
away one of the strange unique charac-
ters of our western civilization.

THANE LEADING AS GAME STOPPED ON
 ACCOUNT OF RAIN

After two weeks or impatient wait ing for good weather, and after sev- earl postponements at the last min ute on account of leaking skies, the boys of Perseverance and Thane de- cided yesterday to start their series of seven games for President Hay den's silver cup in rain or shine
 The game was started in a fine drizzle and was clean and hotly con tested throughout the first seven in- nings At this point the weather man decided it had gone far enough and opened his valve little far ther. drenching players and specta- tors alike.
 Mir. Brewster official umps. stood the wetting fine until eight and one.third innings had been played, and then called the game, Thane IS, Perseverance 9.
 As there had been a strict under standing between the two captains that full nine innings must be played the game was declared mo game" and will be played over The score of 13 to gives no indication of the relative strength. as pitchers and players alike lad great difficulty in handling the wet and slippery ball. The next game will be played either at Treadwell or Juneau.

NO DISPLAY OF AMERICAN FLAG
 CAUSES TROUBLE

Juneau longshoremen caused a pat riOtic demonstration on the water front this morning that was some af- fair The incident following SO clos ely on the heels of flag day was all the more remarkable. The demon stration was Of short duration but was intense while it lasted
 The trouble was caused when the steamer Princess Ena. freighter be- longing to the Canadian Pacific Com pany, pulled into port As the ship pulled alongside the Pacific Coast Dock. the heaving lines were cast 10 the dock.
 Don't touch them. was the word quickly spread among the assembled longshoremen and dock hands. and the lines were allowed to slide or into the water They were pulled aboard the ship and again thrown but again were allowed to slip from the dock.
 By this time the captain of the ship was becoming warm under the collar and some hot words were heayed over the side Of the ship to land on the heads of the longshoremen.
 The words landed on Che broad backs Of the longshoremen unheeded and bounced back to the Ena.
 Whats the matter with you blank ety blank trucS engineers. anyway" inquired the captain in no uncertain terms. His attention was called to the fact that the American flag should be displayed from the fore. peak. Someone had blundered but when the flag was put up. and the Canadian flag also displayed at the stern. the lines were taken and the demonstration was declared off by mutual consent
 The Princess Ena is making her first trip to Alaska since crossing the ocean to Vladlvostock with full cargo Of war munitions The Ena is in command of Captain W. l.. Gilchrist. and has 300 tons Of Brit ish Columbia coal for Juneau She is just returning from Skagway where she delivered 7S cattle. 10S hogs, one horse, 1900 cases of gaso- line, SO tons of powder and 225 tons of general cargo. which was for the interior.

BLYTHE WRITES OF
 CONDITIONS WHICH
 sMoTHERso ALL HOPE

Writing of conditions that preSSas, ed at Chicago. Samuel G. Blythe de picted conditions which brought about Q listless spirit at the Republi. can convention. He said:
 Large amounts of money have been spent. are being spent. and will be spent in Chicago for all sorts Of outward and visible politi- cal signs Of inward and cherished political hopes. and all of these ex. i pendltureS are and will be useless so ' lar as results are concerned.
 Banners, hats. flags. badges. head quarters. press agents. literature. drinks. and those other commodities that. as custom assures us. go to i'm. press the impossible mind of Amer. icar citizen and delegate that the Honorable Thus-and-sO. is the peo- ple's choice for President. have been paid for In liberal even prodigal supply. but essential is lacking that will so furthest toward making this convention what it was planned to be by the gentleman who planned it and built it. A quantity should be laid in and administered in large an frequent doses.
 q refer to nerve tonic. There are various old guard architects and constructors Of this convention various. but not all-who fall into nervous chill every time they get the thought that possibly the machine may break down. and RoOse- welt secure the nomination There are various of them who have hour ly panlcs over that dread contingent cy. They shiver with apprehension. They sweat with terror They are scared as an elephant over mouse. as Q rich man over the loss Of his fortune. as a negro at a ghost.
 They are very much scared.
 They haven't the courage of their own conviction. nor the pluck of their own pluckings. They tremble and they have begun to trim. Nerve tonic is needed. for after spending three years of effort and political maneuver to make this convention what it is today, they are in great trepidation for fear it Isn't what they made it at all, but something entire. ly different.
 Roosevelt hangs over them. i'm bends on them. obesses them. They say. valiantly. that he cannot be nominated. and some of them are so terrified they are beginning to think the only way they can prevent the catastrophe is by hurrylng up and nominating Hughes There is not one of them. of course. who wants to nominate Hughes who doesn't detest the idea Of naming Hughes, to whom the thought Is abhorent; but the timid ones are all aQuiver over the mere intimation Of such a contingency. and they see in Hughes their protection against this ogre of Oyster Bay. That is why. barring the shouters in the hotel lobby. the Hughes movement continues.
 Now. mark you. Hughes is not now. and never will be the real choice of the men who assume they control this convention They may take him. but they do not want him.
