Human Greatness.

Contempt of all outward things which come in competition with duty fulfills the ideal of human greatness. This conviction, that readiness to sacrifice life's highest material good and life itself is es- sential to the elevation of human nature, is no illusion of ardent youth nor outburst of blind enthu- siasm. It does not yield to growing wisdom. It is confirmed by all ex- perience. It is sanctioned by con- science-that universal and eternal lawgiver whose chief dictate is that everything must be yielded up for the rightly. F. Charming.

Origin of the Japanese Race.

The Japanese are mixed race, sprung from Mongolian immigrants in prehistoric times and from an in digenous population, remnants of which are still found in the islands of Jezo and Saghalin. The prehis- toric Mongolian ancestor probably migrated from the Chinese main- land through Korea. Modern eth nologists also attributed d share in the formation of the Japanese peo- pie to the Malay as we'll as the Mon- golian races.

Learning to Reason

A cynic once said that the world was composed of millions of people, mostly fools. The reason, he gave, was that so few people use their reason. Without thinking a man gives up his position as a man. But is anything more needed than just reason to make a man? If so, what IS it? That will be the theme at St. Philips Church, Sunday evening, January I4. All are cor dially invited.

In Alaska the term roueh h

In Alaska the term rough neck" has an appropriate meaning distinct from any of the above definitions. Far from being a term of reproach, it is in large measure complimentary. It refers to that large class of Alaskans who, meet ing and combating natural obsta- cles in an untamed wilderness, overcomes them and glorieS in the task. The Alaska roughneck may have been reared among refinement or luxury, or he may have been a product of the slums; but the trials and difficulties met with in the Northland lend that touch of nature which mak $ them all kin. The roug hneck of today is apt to be the capitalist of tomorrow, and even then he is not ashamed of being designated as roughneck."

The following paragraph in an swer to a query was published i the Literary Digest recently:
 Roughneck is slang term for tough or rowdy, such as a member of one of those gangs that at one time terroriZed the people of the slums of New York or Chicago. The term is also used to denote a person who lacks manners or refine- ment, in contrast to one who has a good address and the ap- pearance of culture, as, 'Oh. he's a rough neck! In the Evening Post (New York) of August r, 1903. We find the following: His (Sam Parks) stated income amounts to union wages from his union of rough necks, as the iron- workers call themselves, as walking dele gate" Also in "Colonel Croc- kell in Texas,' published in 1836 we read: You may be called a drunken dog by some of the cleanshirt and silk stock ing gentry; but the real rough neck will style you jovial fellow.n

Water resorts by the Lake and palm gard ems did a roaring bushes, but the suffering in the poorer sections has become intense. The heat today is again terrific ani the entire middle west is sweltcring under it. Many deaths directly traceable to sun stroke are reported in this city to- day while the records or other cities also show many fatalities due to tine heat.

his evil ideas in vain. All the world will be free to enter and hear the union discussions, and the possibiI- ity of a capitalist frame up, political or economic, will be non-existent.
 Otis, with his savage enmity to organized labor and his complete intolerance of all working class rights, with his amending misrepre- sentations and his vile calumnies in his papers, proved the virtue of open unionism ard the real strength of economic solidarity. The ques- tion is whether the workers will realize to the full the benefits that are to be received from such a po- liCy.
 About Otis private character the less said the better. About the dead say nothing except what is good, said the Latin proverb. In any event it will do TO good to resurrect the evil that dead men were in the flesh, however it may be regretted that the evil than men did lives after them. No man has been so ftly appraised by Senator Hiram Johnson or the brilliant editor of the Iconclast at that time as has been Otis. Scorching words of scathing denuEciation a whipping in the flesh with rods dipped in yitriol would not exCoriate the flesh more cruelty than the terrific flashing to which Otis was subjected. Now he is in his grave. He is entitled to an accounting no more from his frie nds or from his enemies
