ALASKA CIRCULATION ARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION NATIONAL MEMORIAL FOR GEN. GEORGE ROGERS CLARK. A few weeks ago Congress gave belated recognition to one of the greatest of our country's founders by providing for a statue of Albert Gal-| latin to stand on the steps of the Treasury| Building at Washington alongside of the statue of Alexander Hamilton. This praiseworthy action was appropriately followed a few days ago by the appropriation of §1,000,000 for the establish- ment of a museum at Vincennes, Indiana, in honor of Gen. George Rogers Clark, “The George Washingten of the West.” Gen. George Rogers Clark wi one of the great outstanding Amerlcan heroe: who rendered service that made his country great. It was he, with a small army of frontiersmen, made up mostly of Kentuckians and Virginians, but including a few hardy sons of Western Penn- sylvania, mostly Scotch-Irish adventur that saved for the United States the Northwest Ter- ritory of that period, a section of the country now included in the areas of Ohio, Indiana, IIli- nois, Michigan and Wisconsin His little army had the of Gov. Jefferson of Virginia, whose a great and powerful North American Republic never failed and whose cour- age of convictions ever led to effective action. At the Dbehest of Gov. ed arms, powder, lead, for the patriotic frontiersmen Clark to Kaskaskia and the on the bank of the Louis and thence Mlinois to Vincennes, where the Brifish triumphantly defeated, and the Northwest Territory made available Jefferson, Virginia furnish- clothing victualing who followed Gen. other British posts Mississippi near St. and east across were for American settlement and to be caryed into American States, It is true the equipment of the army left much to be desired, but it must not be forgotten that the Old Dominion was pour- ing out deeply of her best blood and resources to the armies under Gen. Washington that were fighting for freedom along the whole coast from Massachusetts to Georgia. The Kentucky and Western Virginia settlements, and (u their names and acts never be forgotten!) French mer- chants and citizens of St. houis, pieced out that the foundation for the expansion of United States came automatically with the mination of the Revolutionary War There should be a monument to Gen. Clark, and beside it one to Jefferson, in every important town in every American State and Territory west of Pennsylvania and north of the Ohio. It was Jefferson who visioned the United States as a 80 the ter- Pacific power, and it was the matchless genius and bravery of Gen. Clark that commanded the first step in the achievement. Jefferson’s second step came when he had Virginia cede the North- west Territory to the National Government., Vir- ginia’s parting with her soil to make the State of Kentucky, Jefferson’s 'purchase of Louisiana and his sending an expedition to the Pacific Coast were further steps in the march of Amer- ica toward a selected destiny, directed by the great author of the Declaration of Independence. It is a rather remarkable coincidence that a younger brother of Gen. George Rogers Clark, Capt. William Clark, was joint commander, with Capt. Merriwether Lewis, of the exploration party that crossed the continent from St. Louis to the Pacific at the mouth of the Columbia River. America has never recognized in full measure il her monumental and statuary art her obliga- tions to the great Virginians who marked the path and in large measure led the United States on her glorious way from the Alleghany Moun- tains to the Pacifie Coast, who won the North- west Territory, purchased Louisiana and Florida and laid the foundation for the acquisition of Texas, California, Alaska and Pacific islands There are magnificent memorials at the National Capital for Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Sherman and others of the Nation’s great. There are many testimonials to lesser lights as, for instance, the great statue of Garfield at the Pennsylvania Ave- nue entrance of the Capitol grounds. But no- where is there monument or other memorial for the author of the Declaration of Independ- ence, the Father of the Constitution, and the great men who carried the country from Inde- pendence to continental grandeur, making a country that was worth saving by Lincoln and Grant.

Nothing but the light from that Book can lighten that twilight or dispel the fog. For myself I say that if I did not feel our work was done in the faith and hope that some day the kingdom of God would overspread the whole world, then I could have no hope and could do no work, and I would give my office over this morning to any one who would take it. Seward Is Optimistic. (Seward Gateway.) As an indication of confidence the citizens of Seward hold we would call attention to the numerous real estate transactions since the school bond election. A new wave of confidence as to the growth of the city seemed to have come in overnight following the election which gave Seward a brand new school. There is a different spirit manifest; more unity, all of which spells progress. Together with the Lowell Creek project, the new school and the many new buildings in pros- pect, as well as repairs and alterations to others, it is conservatively estimated at least $300,000 will be expended in the city this year. All this revolving around the regular pay- roll. Not so bad, is it? $300,000 in one year! Ed Howe used to say that the cnly thing an editor could attack with impunity was the man-eating shark.
