The oth^r duy traffio polloomaa on
one of the busy Market street corn
ers felt a tug at his coat. Looking
down he saw a little 3 year old girl
who was waiting with her mother for
a chanee lo eross the street.
Just the sight of the sweet litflo
face caused a tug at his heartstrings
and he acted on the impulse of the
moment.
"Want to blow' the whistle?" he
asked her. "Sure," said the little girl.
And proudly she grasped the whis
tle, puckered up her lips and blew
twice, as he told her. . Immediately
the traffic going up and down Mar
ket street stopepd and the waiting
lines of automobiles and tvagons on
cross street got into motion.
There's no sermon in this. Just a
littel touch of human nature to leav
en the seriousness of an editorial col
umn.
That traffic policeman probably has
a little girl of his own at home—and
it's dollars to doughnuts he’s a
mighty good policeman.
Just think of the human heart of
a man who can stop long enough in
business to make glad the heart of
a child! on’t you think there ought (o
be more of us like him?—San Fran

"HOCH DEM JONES!"
—
A German-American association of
Spokane, the Spokesman-Review
says, adopted resolutions approving
the coures of Wesley L. Jones In the
United States senate, and then rose
and drank a "hoch for him for Ids
filibustering speech of Saturday night.
Think of It!
That speech will pursue him unto
political death. It stamped him as
unfit—unworthy the confidence repos
ed in him by this loyal .patriotic slate
of Washington. It gave aid and com
fort to an enemy at a critical mo
ment In the republic’s history.
"Hoch dem Jones!” German sym
pathizers were quick to Interpret his
attitude of course. Now let him, by
way of compensation for his base

J philippic, get all the aid and comfort
[ he can out of his performance from,
I hyphenated quarters. The common
wealth, ttself unhyphenated, has em
phatically made known, through the
legislature, its undiluted and unde
filed Americanism.
The Spokesman-Iteview says:
"Senator Jones' conduct* Is not so
responsible as that of the twelve sen
ators who went to the last ditch, but
he has not exculpated himself by seek
ing cover at the last minute. In a
critical hour in his country's history,
when the German government defies
our just plea for humanity and law,
he is found pleading for the kaiser and
against the president.”
Excepting Judas himself, as exem
plified in the perfidous spectacle by
"Gum Shoe” Bill Stone, recreant
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, Jones' conduct, the Post
Intelligencer holds, was quite ns rep
rehensible and unforgivable ns that of
one of the twelve filibusters who en
compassed the shameful betrayal.
IU abetted them, holding the floor
and killing time and accompanying
I the conspirators to the very last
ditch. Signing the round robin at
the eleventh hour did not help the
situation or exculpate him, or palliate
' his miserable role, in the very least.
A senate made tip of men like Wes
!y I* Jones, the Spokane paper adds,
would be a poor staff for the ad
ministration in time of difficulty and
peril.” And poor stuff as well. Down
with the tribe!
“Hoch!” forsooth an for shame!

ALASKA'S BUSY SEASON.
Work on the government railway in
Alaska enters upon an important
stage this season, and every arm of
government activity is to be exerted
to finish the 500 rn'iies of tracklaying
necessary to completion within the
next two years. Approximately 5,000
men are to be employed, and such of
these as are not now in the north are |
preparing to leave Seattle during this '
month.
The government engineers are to
install, before fall, a railroad bridge
across tire Susitna rtver at Indian
creek ,the largest bridge on the sys
tem save that to be bu'ilt across the
Tanana river. There are to be three
200-foot steel spans, and the length
of the structure, with approaches, j
will be 820 feet. The cost is to be'
$200,000.
Grading and tracklaying into the
Susitna valley, north of Ch’ickaloon, is
to proceed with the coming of spring.
Anchorage and Seward are to be
connected by rail this season, if pos
sibe. Rebuilding of the old Alaska
Northern railway Will be completed.
Grading will also be undertaken on
~l
L the north portion of the line, between
u Fairbanks and Nenana, and from
. Nenana southward.
Freight transportation facilities to
> Alaska are to bo taved to the utmost
during the spring and summer. Halls,
ears, locomotives, lumber, equipment
and supplies are going forward In
i large quantities. The government Is
to utilize its transportation service
to assist in the work ,nnd barges are
also to be used.
With the large tuorist traffic to be
stimulated by Seattle’s more favora
ble passenger rate from the east,
steamships in the Alaska service are
to have a busy season. Alaska com
merce, general business and tourist
travel are to make records In 1917.

THE WORLD IS BETTER FOR
THEM.
Did it ever strike you as a bless
ing to meet big men; to have big
men among your acquaintances? Not
big men in the sense of bulk or size,
or chiness or even position; but men
with big motives, big ideas. Men who
see both sides of a story. Men who
give and take with equal grace and
suffer others with charity. Those men
and women as well, make you for
get the little folks with narrow minds
I and make you feel better for that.
! When we meet such a big man, he
becomes an inspiration, a fountain of
purity of character from which much
good can be directed if we are so in
| dined. After coming in contact with
such a man, how small the “small
man" looks in comparison; yet the
j latter makes ns much noise, has the
same power with his vote and in fact!
1
can and does contribute all to the
restlessness of his environment;
whereas the big man with big Ideas
is an inspiration for good.—Ex.
