 How often Col Roosevelt hits the bulseye! Here is sentence taken from his preface biography of the late Booker T. Washington "The simple fact is that here in America we are all in the end going up down to. gether"
 We have choice. We all committed It is as every mothers and fathers daughter of embarked upon ship running from the port of mencement to the port of destiny, and without lifeboats or wireless call for help. other of rescue from the wree-snk swim, survive perish all together, whether like it not whether love fellow voyagers whatever varying senti- meats beliefs and hopes
 We are simply fated to be Americans, whether wish be Destiny has decreed status regardless what think whence came We all, the divers kinds of here together and in the words of Benjamin Franklin shall have to hang together shall hang separately Our welfare is common, but disaster is suffered individually, far feelings go.
 Hence it behooves for selfish sakes and our chldrens sake to get rid of this ridiculous notion that Europe has claim upon us, that Europeans siding here for fortunes sake What we are is Americans who must pull together perish together.
 We need despair of democracy. Democracy is neither failure experiment. It is here for us to make it what We wish and will The fault will be ours and not the systems if neglect heritage and do not exercise chance"
 Besides is a very fine distinction to be American citizens of the Great Republic free think speak do desires lowered with an opportunity such ordinary man woman in Europe ever had can have And children who Europe would be cannon fodder or toers with little of hope here make them selves pretty much what would like.

WE MAY AS WELL TRY.

Hardly over the turmoil if not anlmosltY cauS~ ed by the last election yet we must think oI our coming municipal election that is fast approach ing. Really it is very much as the man sald' Life is one damned thing after another only with us it is one election after another. Be that as it may, we must nevertheless begin to think about the coming municipal campaign.
 Having in mind the fact that Alaska will soon be "bone dry" and since it is due to the women's vote why not turn over our municipal goTern- ment to the women? The revenue that we ere about to lose owing to the elimination ot he saloons, has always been material help: but with that. the men folks who have governed our municipalities in Alaska have had considerable worry over the lack of revenue with which to 1efray the expense of municipal @oVernment' Tn the future they will have to make un the loss of that source in revenue in some manner which means more worry; and according to se1eetlsts. worry kills more men every year than all the doctors put together-incredbe as 1t may seem which is saying a whole lot
 At the Umatilla Oregon municIpai election recently, every woman candidate was elected in- cluding the mayor. In speaking of the case, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says;

TWO ESSENTIALS IN LIFE.

The two essentials that help us along most in life are trust and courage. Apart from the trag- edies brought on or invited by sin due to the in fraction of the laws, large part of our troubles come from worry distrust and apprehension.

FORTRESS WHILE RUSSIANS
CONTINUE FLIGHT.
Attempted to Stop cadorna's Further
Approach to Trieste.-Neariy 1,7oo
Men Have Been Captured BY Ital-
ians IN Corixia.

While the Russians continue their
flight before the Germans in the re-
gion Of Riga, the Italians. after a few
days Of comparative idleness. again
have started their great offensive on
the BainziIza' plateau against the
Austrains and to the northest Of
Gorizia.
In the south, however, from the
Brestovizza valley to the sea, the Ital-
ians have boon compelled to with
stand violent counter-attacks by the
Austrians, who are endeavoring to
hold back General Cadorna's lines
from further approach to Triest.
The Austrians at one place momenta-
rfly forced the Italians to cede tor
ritory. A counter-attack by he Ital-
fans not alone retrieved the lost po-
sition but resulted In the capture of
more than 400 prisoners. On the
Bainzizza plateau, northeast of CO.
rizia, the Italians have made further
gains, capturing an important Aus
train position near Ocrogio.
No details have been vouchsafed
concerning the battle which is in
progress northeast Of Gorizia, and no
confirmation is at hand of the re.
ported capture by the Italians Of
Monte San Gabrielle, the last dominat-
ing position held by the Austrians
north of Gorizia.
Nearly 1.700 men have been cap
tured by the Italians in the fighting
in the Gorilla sector.
Again the Italians have sent their
airmen over Pola. the Austrian naval
base in the Adariatic, dropping bombs.
the explosions of which have added
materially to the damage done In pre-
vious raids.
In the region of Riga the Russians
are retiring eastward and northeast
ward all along the line, pursued by
the Germans.
