WHAT AIS ALASKA?

In an address before the National
Republican club of New York, at its
annual Lincoln dinner Secretary of
the Interior Albert B. Fall said:
Alaska, acquired by Lincoln and
his secretary of state at a cost of
$7.OOO,O ,O00. has paid this country
$500, 100000. and has for the last
twenty years been practically closed
to the business men of the United
States. Oil has been flowing into the
Arctic ocean at Cape Fleming for
years. perhaps centuries, and was only
recently discovered. What is believed
to be one OF the greatest oil fields OF
the world is I'm the Arctic near the
Aleutian Islands.
TT has been known for years that
there was a great deposit of fuel of
some kind along the Arctic circle in
Alaska. A recent expedition discov-
cred a deposit of caIinel coal lying
from ten inches to ten feet under the
surface, over an area 600 miles long
by 125 miles wide. The greatest cop
per mine in the world is IN Alaska and
new deposits Of valuable minerals are
being discovered constantly.
THE Republican party acquired
Alaska and the Republican party
should make its development possible.
The Republican party stands for bust
ness and the creation Of wealth. 1t
will do its duty and develop Alaska. 4"
Then why doesn't the party 90
ahead? Who is holding it? The peo-
pie of the United States are ready and
willing to give their consent and have
been so at all times. BY all means
let the development of Alaska pro-
ceed.

How to Break Off a Match.

How to Break OH a MATCH.
A mother writes:
"My daughter is in love with a most
unworthy man. and insists upon mar
rying him. I have reasoned with her,
plead with her, tried in every way to
| convince her of the miserable fate
that surely awaits her if she becomes
this mans wife, but to no avail. She
/ is deaf to my entreaties and prayers
| Can you tell me any way in which 1
can prevent this foolish girl from
wrecking her life by making disas-
trous marriage?"
There are a good many ways by
which undesirable marriages may be
broken off, but the one way in which
they never can be broken off is the
way that parents nearly always
choose. And that is by the strong
arm method. Opposition is the first
aid to fool weddings, and is responsible
for more i'll advised unions than any
other one thing on earth.
Especially is opposition fatal
measure to take with a girl. Every
woman is partisan by nature. She
rallies instinctively to the attacked
side. She is always with the under
dog, and you have only to criticise one
of her friends to put her on the de-
fense, and start her out with a search
warrant to find his, or her good points.
Besides, opposition rouses her fight
ing blood. Forbid the house to a
young man and any girl with the
spirit of mouse will meet him on
the outside, even if he bores her to
tears. Abuse a man enough, and
whether a girl was interested or not in
him before, she will champion his
cause until she imagines herself in
love with him. Forbid a girl to marry
a man, and nine times out of ten she
will do it because she considers4it so
romantic. and herself SO like a movie
heroine with hard hearted parents.
Nevertheless, match can be
broken off, and perhaps no better
method has even been advised than
that adopted by Colonel Newcomb in
dealing with the acute heart attack
of his nephew Arthur Pendennis. You
remember that the colonel raised no
objections to the match. He said
nothing of the disparity of age be-
tween the boy and his very mature
sweetheart. He offered no objection
on the score of the ladys morals and
social position, both of which were
dubious.
He merely remarked, as he looked
over one of her love letters. ''Ah.
see that she spells affection with one
f." and that turned the trick. The
youth who was prepared to fight
family objections to the last ditch,
went down before the first sneer.

DIR. Duddings' Own Experience.
Later, DR.. buildings was on trial in
this same county for killing a man in
self defense. Candidates for the jury
were asked as usual if they had any
objection to capital punishment in
proper cases, and out of $50 men
fully 100 were told to step aside after
answering that they did object. Those
who were chosen would probably have
refused to consider any specific case
proper for capital punishment.

Duddings explains, because people do
not know much about it and because
of the belief that it is deterrent OF
crime. It is safe to say that no Grim

he commits a crime. And there is
just as much law breaking in states
where the death penalty is often pro-

strong sentiment against it.

JUST FOLKS

BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

THE PROMIsER OF PUPS.
There are three promises in life which all
men very glibly make.
And one is fish as yet uncaught. the ses-
ond's game the hunters take.
The third is cOmmonest Of ALTO him
should go the silver cup.
The friendly, smiling, genial man who glad
ly promises q pup.
The fisherman will promise fish to all who
chance to pass his way,
The hunter smiles and says TO You. III
bring Won ducks some lucky day: -
But still more liberal is he-for there's no
chance TO check him up
The man who turns nobody down but
always promises pup.
There are three. Promises men make which
no one thinks to see fulfilled:
Upon the pledge of fish game We long
ago have ceased to build
But mean indeed would be the man with
whom you CHANGED to dine or sup.
Who would not crafty your wish and
gladly promise you a pup
The code of homer calls for strict OBJ
serVance of the given word.
Yet who would hold this merry three to
pledges made, would be absurd;
'Twould be indeed a endder world IL deatf,
should ever gather up
This gayest of philanfhropists--th man
who promises n pup.

Those who are opposing the sales
tax-in the belief that by so doing they
can place the burden of the soldier
bonus entirely on the rich, are doomed
TO disappointment. They can rest as
sured that whatever taxes the rich
are called upon TO pay they will col
lect from the ultimate consumer, as
they always have done. In addition
they will collect their living expenses
from the same source. The rich as a
class are not producers. How, then,
can they obtain money with which to
pay taxes except from other peoples
labor? The chief merit Of the sales
tax les in the fact that none could
evade it. Even the investor in tax
exempt securities would find in it n
tax which he could not dodge. He
would pay out of profits and not out
oC earnings as does the wage worker,
but he would pay. His income would
be taxed in proportion to his living
expenses.
