DISAPPOINTING APPOINT
MENTS.
John Randolph Tucker, Jr., of
Virginia, and F. M. Saxton, of
Oregon, appointed to be United !
States disrtict judge and district
attorney, respectively, at Nome,
are doubtless capable men and
good Democrats. Certainly the ]
junior Sir. Tucker will make a |
splendid judge if he possesses
knowledge of the law, ability and ,
character approaching ii: any I
con' id(Table degree those pos- ,
sesseil by the original John Ran
dolph Tucker.
However, the appointments will
cause justifiable disappointment
to the people of Alaska. We had
not expected them. They consti
tute violations of a declaration
of (lie Democratic platform that
we had not looked for. Other ap
pointments to high office in the!
territory had lead us to believe j
that Alaska was through for all]
time with carpetbaggers and |
earpetliagism. and we were total
ly unprepared for the action that
has been taken.
Let us hope that the future will
disclose some special reason for
these appointments—however
specious il might he—and that
the reason may be one that will
not extend further.--Juneau Em

NOT OPINIONS OF RAINBOW
CHASERS.
, Si ereiary Daniels, of the Navy
department, stated at Portland,
Oregon, that he believes that, al
though the Pacific Northwest has
made great growth in I lie last few
years, ve| Hus is a me "" bagatelle j
in comparison with iii * griwlli;
that lies before II after I lie open-j
ing (if the Panama eaiiai.
Seerelar.v Lane of the Depart-;
incut of Hie Interior had uol j
long before spoken of tin* ini— j
incuse resources of Alaska where!
grass grows waist-high in sum- |
mer on (ib,000,000 acres of (ilia-|
hie soil, lie has failli that, if]
Congress will appropriate money j
to build an Alaskan railway, I In*
two following veals will see an
Alaskan immigration of perma
nent selllers that "will pale into
Insignificance the rush to the
government lands within I he na
tion itself.”
These I \v«p forecasters m me
future (if I lie last West are nei
ther exploiters nor uniinfornied
rainbow chasers. They are prac
tical men of affairs, well ac
quainted with conditions in the
regions of which they speak and
with their resources and capaci
ties for development. The speak
ers are sineerel' expressing the
■honest convictions of their sober
judgment.
What they slate simply 'dices
the, deliberate conclusions of ev
ery man who has traveled through
the Pacific, Northwest and Alas
ka, studied their unparalleled
wealth in forest, fishery, farm and
mine and their upique strategic
advantages in relation to tin*
commerce of Australia, China,
the East Indies and Japan, and
finally collected on I tie previous
progress of empire in the United
States and Canada during tin*
nineteenth century.
AJ1 momentum that has been
gained by Americans during these
hundred years of our conquest
of a continent now bears on the
onward advance of these Pacific
- states. The pressure of popula
tion from the East, especially in
congested cities, and from Eur
ope impels immigration into the
vast vacancies of the West. It
cannot fill to flow more freely
and fully from European cities
through the canal than over the
transcontinental rail ways.--Spo

Measured values
You may go and get measured for
a suit of clothes, but who meas
ures the values you are to get?
The largest makers of men s
clot hing have set up a standard
in ready-to-wear clothes at one
known price. They are called
STYLEPLUS CLOTHES
$17.
The values that go into this
special suit are measured. The
scientific plan of manufacture
on a big scale makes it possible
to keep raising the standard of
values—to add more hand tai
loring -to give even finer fab
rics, linings and trimmings.
When you buy a STYLE
PLUS, you are sure of the very
best that unequalled buying
power and unequalled manufac
turing methods and facilities
can give, plus correct style.
Come in and see our big assortment for Fall and
Winter. Sizes for every shape— styles for every taste.
Try a STYLEPLUS this season and be
better dressed for less money. It is the suit
that measures up to the standard of good
clothes, at several dollars less than good
clothes can be made by unscientific methods.

CHARACTER.
01‘ all human assets, character
is the most precious. •
Tile only difference between
prosiae clay and clay that shines
is in character. Men and women
who have character have hearts,
consciences, souls; they are full
of love and sympathy, full of a
line feeling of kinship with the
universe; they are not merely
close lo all that is, 1ml they are
in very fact a part of il.
Kven our villianous lago la
mented the loss of his reputation,
for il was I lie "immediate jewel"
of his soul.
t'.linrarler is not lo lie measur
ed in terms of money. Money
does mil make il. Oflener mon
ey unmakes il. Men easily be
come worshippers of gold. They
crave and love Ihc glittering os
tentation and power of il. Lark
ing souls with the light that fad
elh not, they wish their pockets,
their purses, lo shed somewhat
of Ihc resplendence which they
covet.
But no really big character can
lie squeezed into a man's pocket.
The man who carries his char
acter in his purse has an empty
purse; and usually he lives an
empty life.

Touchstone's quibbling over the

When over 50,000 voters of
San Francisco declared in favor
of a bond issue to build sixteen
miles of municipal street rail
ways, and less than 1 4,000 were
against the proposition, the pop

ership was definitely expressed.
The city already operates a road
from the ferries to the ocean,
and this is making a profit of
