SPEAKER COLLINS AS A HUMoRIST AND SOME
 PLAIN FACTS

There is significance in the humor of former Speaker Earnest B. Collins who says he is going in for mining instead of politics this year and if he makes a stake he will turn Democratic and then come back. The significance is that people have ceased 10 connect hard times and hard luck with the Demo- cratic party. The circumstance that one of the great depressiye waves that had occurred periodically throughout the United States for about a century upon the country just before the second CIeye land administration was inauguroteG and continued
 for three or four years gave pausibiy to the saying whenever business failed, that it had gone Demo cratic" From this condition great many of the people came t0 associate the Democratic party with hard times. But the last four years have dispelled that conception of things the disposition is to connect Democracy with prosperity.
 The fact is. Of course that party responsibility for either good times hard times has been greatly overwOrked by American politicians. In the first sixty years of the last century when the Democratic party controlled the affairs of the Nation there were three periods Of dire depression there were two such periods during the forty years the last cen tury during which the Republicans were in power most Of the time These periods came about once in twen- ty years. The hard time9 periods were in 1SI6-l9 lS37'4O 1S57'6O. lS73'77. 1S92IG All of them were the direct result of reaction from periods of high pressure business and overspcculaton. They were periods Of liquidation Men passed the limit of their capacity to carry debts and were asked to pay up and hard times resulted We have had one similar period in this century-the period that was naugu. rated by the panic Of 1907. The severity of this period was broken by the action of the banks in | suspendng specie payment and thus preventing whole sale bank failures.
 It is not likely that we shall ever again have period of depression which will be as oppressive as some of the hard times waves of the past have been The banking and currency law that gives us expan

A NEW ALASKA
lDuluth Heraldl

Duluth Herald)
 Hidden away in the more intensely interesting dispatches telling of the results of the election there brief story from Alaska that is strkingly significant of what may be expected in that country
 Briefly the story to the effect that several hundred hOmesteaders have arrived and settled in the section of country through which the United States government is building it's railroad: that these set tiers prOSpering, and that indications favor rapid increase of this class of newcomers.
 Think of that! Homesteaders going to Alaska instead of gold hunters It opens entirely new conception of that country. It means that instead of stripping unwilling land of it's sole wealth and then abandoning it, men finding that there is a continuous wealth in the agricultural possibilities Of the country, and going there 10 cultivate t and make it continuously richer and more prosperous. It gives a notion of Alaska of vastly different style from that of former days.
 Perhaps, too, there is another significance in this movement. Perhaps it is indication that men are not today insanely anxious for sudden wealth as they in i9 and Yukon days, but are better sat stcd to be industrious and prosperous with certainty without taking the risks and undergoing hardshps Ot the usually disappointed gold hunter. Perhaps.
