HELP THE MINING EDITION.
On Sunday, May 251 h, the Min
er will issue a special mining edi
tion of sixteen pages devoted ex
clusively to the industry that is
bound to make Valdez famous. As
the time is short those business
men who wish to lake a special
display advertisement are re
quested to get their copy ready as
soon as possible.
The Miner has secured the ser
vices of Mr. James Fish to take
charge of this editlon and he will
make the rounds tomorrow and
the necessary space can he secur
ed through him.
it is believed that this edition
will supply the want of reliable
information of the Valdez mining
district and we will be glad of
the co-operation of those inter
ested in mining to make this issue
a great success.
AN UNFAIR ALARMIST.
Rev. Madison 0. Peters, o1‘ New
York, in an address to the Daugh
ters of the Revolution, has turned
into a prophet of gloom. He de
clares that “10,000,000 American
people are on the starvation line;
that one-liflh of the people of
New York city are dependent on
charity; 5.000 New York families
on an average, are dispossessed
every month for nun-payment of
reint, and one in every to who die
in New York is Imried in a pau
per’s grave.”
There are almul 100,000,000
people in Hie t oiled Stales. Does
anyone believe that one-tenth of
them are on the starvation line?
There are about 5.Odd.non peo
ple in New York city. Does any
one believe, that one-lii'lll of them
are dependent upon charity? lines
anyone believe ilial a nation could
prosper if conditions were one
lift It as laid as Dr. Peters declares
they are?
Dr. Peters is urging people to
gel liars to the farms and give
more allenl ion |u production. H is
cause is worthy, hul lie does not
help it by indulging in such gross
exaggeration.
WAR SCARES TO ORDER.
Germany has a real scandal
over the discovery that war senti
ment, has been manufactured for
•the. sake of increasing business
for the gun and armament mak
ers. A Berlin paper published
1,he text of the instructions sent
to the Paris agent of gun makers
telling him to "leave no stone un
turned” to persuade some popu
lar and influential Paris paper
I hat France is about to double
her orders for machine guns, and
to get the story into print. The
result, of course, would be to
arouse Germany to renewed ac
tivity and increased orders Tor
machine guns.
We are always threatened with
war in this country just about the
time Congress is considering the
army and navy appropriation
bills. The manufacturers of ar
mor plate and battleships can get
up a war scare whenever thfcy
need it.
CHANQINQ THE FLA<2.
Congressman “Red” Hayes of
California has offered a bill in
Congress to change the design of
the national banner. He pre
sents the idea that his design is
more artistic, that the present
and much loved pattern is neith
er artistic, nor becoming. Yet
many thousands of foreigners—
foreigners mind—have pronoun
ced the old flag the most artisti
cally beautiful of them all.
This Californian would place
the! stars in a circle surrounding
a larger five-pointed star with an
inner band of thirteen red stars
to represent the original colonies.
He considers that more artistic.
We are very sorry to disappoint
the California Congressman, but
his bill is scheduled for deserved
oblivion. Every thread of . the
banner carries its significance.
The stars and stripes and colors
have a meaning. More than that,
it is the oldest in lived design of
all the Hags in the world. Not a
nation but has changed its ban
ner since, the present design was
reaffirmed by law in ISIS—and
that rcaffirmal ion was but a
changing back to tin* original af
ter some dickering similar to
Ilia! tin* Californian would do
now.
Heller leave I In.* old Hag as if
has been for more I ban 100
years, as i| has been during tin*
periods of ils greatest aehieve
inenls in peace and war.
Tomorrow.
Ob, what is the profit in sor
row, and what's the advantage of
woe? We've troubles today, but
tomorrow file most of them sure
ly will go. Say, where are the
heart-breaking troubles that wor
ried you crazy last year? They
lloaled away like Ihe bubbles, and
so will the trouble now here. And
where, is the bit let* affliction that
drove from your bosom all hope?
It’s |raveled from ygmr jurisdic
tion, in vain were t lu* weeps I hat
you wupc. H’s foolish lo hunt
grief or borrow; it’s naught but
a habil of mind; the dawning of
every tomorrow leaves yesterday’s
burden behind. This life has so
much that is pleasant, tomorrow’s
so loaded with joy, the cheap lit
tle griefs of the present should
fail to distress or annoy. To
morrow’s so pregnant with prom
ise, the outlook’s so cheerful and
gay, that Richard and Henry and
Thomas should pass up the ills of
today. Tomorrow is happy and
smiling, a goddess bedecked with
a wreath; tomorrow Is fair and
beguiling, so let us quit gnash
ing lour teeth. Let’s be like
Ihe bygone tomorrows, and wear
just such smiles as they wore,
and thus we’ll discover that sor
row’s a snare that no longer can
snore. WALT MASON.
