These are but a few, but all vitally effecting the future growth of Alaska. The Democratic Party in the Territory, as throughout the nation, shouldered the burden of hoisting this country up from the pit of Republican mis-rule. It has achieved in great measure its goal, and now, as the conventions reveal, it is preparing with revived enthusiasm and further sound policies to carry on, hand in hand with the National Administra- tion, toward greater advancement for Alaska and better opportunities for her people. Woman’s “No.” (Ohio State Journal) How long and how ardently shall a man court a woman hoping that shell say s” when he pops the question? And how much credence shall he give to her negative replies when he does propose? Doesn’'t a woman, especially a coy one, sometimes mean “yes” when she says “no. Back in 1900 a San Franciscan who is now 70 years courted a girl who facetiously told him she would never marry. He took her declaration at its par value and gave up the suit. But she did marry —somebody else—and after her husband died he! first suitor, evidently awakening to the fact that she | probably hadn’t at all meant what she told him proposed and was accepted pronto. He probably kicking himself because he didn't know enough, back in 1900, to put a little less faith in his girl's negative answer, and a little more ardor into his| wooing. The Biblical story of the wooing of Jacob is romantic and tells the tale of a suitor who just| wouldn't give up. Enamored of Rachel, the daugh-} ter Laban, he toiled seven years for the old man to! get her, and then Laban pulled a raw deal on the young man and passed off Leah on him. But Ja- cob buckled down seven years more for Rachel,| and then the father-in-law wouldn’t let him lflk(‘] his wives until Jacob had worked a third seven years | on Laban’s farm. Most lovers, balked as Jacob was, | probably would have made the best of the bargain, | taken Leah, though always sighing for Rachel, an(i‘ gone their way. | Advice To Mr. Roosevelt (Birmingham Age-Herald) His primary duty—he should never forget—is to discharge the obligations of the Presidency, as im- portant as it undoubtedly is for him to win the elec- tion. He will have to decide which is the more im-| portant. On the surface the latter may seem more | pressing and of greater significance. A careful reading | of history will disprove this theory. | President Roosevelt has shown courage and fear- ) lessness on many occasions in the past ,but if he is| to retain ‘the confidence and respect of the people he wis to serve he must doubly show his force of character and his devotion to the duties of his high | office during the coming year. Mr. Roosevelt himself | doubtless realizes that the best way for him to be a| good candidate is to continue to be a good President. If we were that Afghan diplomat, Mahboob Al | we'd be mighty sure the litite woman didn't call us| by our first name in public. We'd sort of hate to have | | her look anxiously about the room and ask: “Where's Mahboob?"—Boston Herald. | Americanism —- theory; to Demanding self-government in delegating it to any group strong enough| are a Congessman.—(Akron Beacon-Journal.) oo Daily Lessons in English By W.
