ALL AMERICANS ARE JEFFERsoNIAN.

An editorial writer in the States says the Re- publicans of the late years of the eighteenth cen tury and the early years of the nineteenth were the ancestors of the Democrats of today and that the Federaliss of that period the ancestors of the Republicans Of this period.
 While many historians have made this distnc- uon between the present day political parties as they did between the Democratic and Whig parties or the ante bellum days it is scarcely Justified by the facts While the remnant. the die hards of the Federaist Party those of them still living at the time, generally soaking, found their way into the Whlg Party, they few in number after the Jefferson, Madison and Monroe administrations that II would be more in accord with the facts say that the Whig Party an of-shoot of the old Repub- hean Party The Federalist Party went out of exist ence during the Monroe Administration It's first and only President John Adams, had long before become supporter of Jefferson, and his son. John Quincy Adams afterward President had been n Jenersonian leader for many years and was at that time Monrees Secretary of statc Even Hamilton Was leaning more and toward Jefferson at the time of his untmey death, and had he liyed un- questionably he would have been 4 slpnorter of Madison.
 When the Whig Party was formed there remained few FedeTalist die hards." mostly located in New England, of whom Daniel Webster who as young ! Congressman led the fight against all appropra- tions to carry on the of 1872, was the leader But the life of the Whig Party came to it through those who and had been Jefersonian to the core Henry Clay, more than any other individual, brought strength and vitality to the organization and he was born and bred Jeffersonian. He was the Administration leader in the House of Represen- tatyes during the Madison Administration and was the leader of the party there during our second conflict with Great Britain. The rivalry between Clay and Jackcon more than any other one thing caused the formation of the Whig Party. When Old Hickory beat Clay and Adams out in contest for party leadership, and Clay Adams and tho others after failing to popularize the name National Re pubicans left the old party and organized the Whig Party. It's strength from the anti-Jackson Je- ferscnan Democrats.
 Lincoln the first President of the present day Republicans, Clay and Webster Whie Politically speaking he a direct descendant of JeHersonianfm. So were Fremont and Chase and Bates and Trumbull and Logan nearly all the Republicans of the Middle West who gave success to the party. Lincoln and other founders of the present Republican Party quoed-Jefferson more than any ether American justification their political course in organizing their party
 The fact is that while those who followed Jack Eon retained the name the had ascribed to members of the Republican Party of Jefersons time -Democrats-the country had accepted Jefersonian

Gasoline Not an AutOcrat.
Cincinnati Enquirer. !

Competition against gasoline as a motor fuel is certain to continue for that must be obvious From time to time announcements made of more tor less successful experiments with various materials but 1t is only recently that specific of sup planting of the petroleum product by substitute actually recorded.
 It is generally conceded that alcohol is to be the chief competitor Alcoholic vapor engines are no fluid for commercial purposes in Germany was rea- lively huge in proportion, it's derivation being from potatoes. Now science is turning the cane fields and other sources of sugar yield.
 The South African railways have just awarded a six months contract for motor fuel for their motor transport service to company which makes the fluid from sugar distillate. using other wise waste materials in the stills It furnished at the rate of one shilling four pence gallon as against tender of gasoline at two shillings half penny gallon.
 The producers assert that their fluid is 90 per cent efficient compared with gasoline which means that even dscouning this figure it must be reckoned with in the future Professional inter- est in the outcome of this trial is widespread it be- ing the largest of it's kind and the most trying While the components of the fluid, which is tech nically known "Natalite" are not given ii is suspected that it is a combination of alcohol and volatile petroleum product resembling a number of such unions compounded in the United States and Europe
 What is transeendently important is that the future of the internal combustion engine seems to be assured by these continuing experiments provide against the possible loss of the natural supply.

If It Fits

A business man thinks by spending money on them he can hold his GUS toners, but he doesn't always realize he also might hold his wife that way.
 When you see the hostess start every time a dish rattles it is safe to guess she borrowed the china for tho dinner.
 Another nice thing about not spar ing the rod is that it so often af- lords parents a good chance to re- lioye their own feelings
 Many a young fello,w has found after he has gone broke, that just because a girl accepts his attentions it's TO sign she is going to accept him.
 At the WOmans Club they'll study most any kind of book but cook book.
 We arc told savages often paint themselves to keep warm and the next time we pass flapper who we arc going to try to remember hcw warm it is keeping her and re- frain from saying anything sarcastic
 It is a lucky man these days whose wife misses ham-and that goes two ways.
 Wives have better memories than their husbands and can always reeol- leet the pre-wedding promise their husbands have forgotten
 And now and then it seems to a fellow that his wife needs a new hat almost as often as the car does gas.
 IA wife may want a nice, big hall in the house, but she'll find the only hall her husband is interested in is alcohol.
 Man proposes, but it often takes the girl long time to coax him to do t.
 There are lot of hard-boiled guys who never seem embarrassed by any thing, not even whom they are financially so.

Yukon and Parliament.
Dawson News.


 The opening of the Dominion Parliament within the last few days brings to the fore again the annual question of appropriations by the Federal Government in aid of the outlying territories This problem is that up for consideration regularly that it has become recognized at the seat of government as a standing item. The principle of supporting, wholly or in part, outlying regions in their infancy until they sufficiently well along to stand their own feet obtains with all nations possessing new territories and undertaking their development. Yukon, being of the most remote and yet most richly endowed of the Canadian territorial divisions, deserves to be fosered in every way by the Federal Govern ment. At the same time 1t is to be remembered that the people pioneering this region subject all the Federal taxes customs duties and other producing measures. Revenues to be credited to Yu kon, directly and indirectly therefore, small item, and the mineral wealth which Yukon annually is producing is adding greatly to the Dominions yield and wealth and the mining industries here help to create in this Northand large market for Canadian and manufactured products of the older provinces and centers.
 It will be good business behalf Parliament this year recognize existence the large and rapidly growing silver operations of Yukon and the steady gold yield by making substantial grants to promote these industries and to help them to ex- pand. To promote these industries and thereby open this part of the Dominion to maximum production Yukon needs large road grants and modern radio communication more than anything else at this period. There other items which parliament might arrange in favor of this Territory just now but the crying need is roads and means of communication for the unproyided camps This Territory deserves to nave the road serving the Mayo camp thoroughly completed and made fit for heaviest traffe everN month of the year; and the overland roads roads serving the gold camp Dawson would be far more serviceable and less costly of maintenance if finished eff with modern equipment. This Territory deserves system of permanent trunk roads, the same as all tho provinces, and the best and cheapest way Tor the Federal Government to provihe such roads Is to advance such funds that the roads open will be made lasting and form the preliminary links of the eventual permanent Territorial system.
 To make the road work of today lasting and to eyDe tba ment will be actn wisely in appropriating sufficient to buy modern catcrpllars and other road equipment and Tn giving generous working grants The sooner this is done, the will the demand for Yukon roads diminish.

Alaskans who have learned to know Col. John c. Cotwals do not have to be told that he earned in full the Distinguished Service Medal that has been conferred upon him. His work in Alaska has proved his capacity and disposition render distinguished service in anything he undertakes. It is very appropriate that the Legislature has seen fit to make a public matter of the presentation of the medal It gives the people of this Territory whom he has served well for the last few years opportunity to show their respect and admiration for the distinguished army officer
