THE LAST WORD !
Now, iluit tlie Danish West Indies, which were re
c aitly acquired for the tidy consideration of $25,000,000,;
■ ave lieen.iechristened and at present bear the new, if j
romewhal inaccurate designation, Virgin Islands, we may'
; gain turn our attention to usual and ordinary interests; •
being fully assured the while that when anything new
° * I
happens it will bear the imprint of something or somebody;
feminine.
What v ith women copping off all the honors at college, |
grabbing b.g financial jobs, writing the best sellers, picket- j
ing the president’s residence, naming the warships, oc
cupying seats in congress, and such like doings, it would
seem that Ernest Kenan’s famous theory that at the last i
great day men will be judged by women, must have slipped j
a cog and come upon us prematurely.
We’ve seen a piece in a down-east paper in which a
chap says the tobacco habit can be cured, and how women
folks can put something he has to sell in a man’s coffee
to accomplish that result without his knowledge. That is
’list the wav he savs it.
v %r «
Passing over the illimitable possiblities of miscon
struction of our gnarled and knotty English idiom, wej
mist the nan with the stuff to sell will lie able to grasp'
the intended i leaning of the following words: Any man
who would wish to cure the tobacco habit is a Jonah; and)
any man who v.mid beguile a woman into the perpetra-i
tion of such a crinu as outlined has the conscience of aj
Pain, the character of a Judas, and the sympathies of a
Herod.
And aT that, mayhap this down-easter thinks he’s do
ing good, and calls himself a reformer.
All of which suggests the further thought that a man
who reforms himself will lie quite busily occupied with
out pestering about the inconsequential habits of other
folks.
In this last matter we speak as one having authority,
we ourselves having been a reformer for years, and still
suffering at times momentary recurrences of the old
symptoms.
Even passion and prejudice will find it difficult to con
strue as treason the following words, which we copy
from page b.blO of our esteemed contemporary, The Con
gressional Record, of March 15, 1017: “I hope our ships
of state can be steered away ffom these troubled waters
and the dangers of wreck. But, if, unhappily, war should
come, it is needless to say that when the dread die is cast
the gaps will be closed. Then, right or wrong, we will
stand for America, and I need not say that no man of us
all will more willinglv bear his full share of the burden
and toil of war.”—(From speech of Senator William J.i
Stone, of Missouri.)
Talking about ships hitting rocks and going ashore
on the Alaska cast: they have a ship out west called
Dora that is said to be able to travel overland. Some of I
the people out there solemnly aver she hit a rock, mounted I
it and slid.* off at the other side like a British war tank.|
She came through the great Katmai eruption like a ship |
of the Stvx. and once lost her wav and come out at Hono- i
* *
lulu. She’s some Dora.—(Juneau Dispatch.)
Folks who claim to know, and who probably do, tell
us that a pound of corn meal has four times as much
nutritive value as a pound of potatoes. If a pound of
potatoes costs three times as much as a pound of corn
meal, and your income is limited, what’s the answer?
The country needs a few Paul Reveres, but Mr. Taft
is hardly sufficiently wieldy for the job .— New York

medical director of Morningside hos
pital, in which is set forth in a very
interesting manner, complete informa
tion regarding the work of that in
stitution. The report is dedicated to
the governor and legislature of Alas
ka, and is intended to give them a
complete idea of the accommodations
afforded the insane patients who are
received from this territory.
Dr. Coe takes cognizance of many
accusations and criticisms whirl have
•• j
been directed against Alornitipside
during tho fourteen years of its exis
tence as a public servant, and givc*<j
his t‘i«rv point and arguments The
r port also contains many beautiful
illustrations of Portland, and the
country adjacent to the hospital.
The train runs only as far as Mile
37 now on account of repairs to
bridges which the pile driver crew is
making in that vicinity. The train
will arrive tonight at a late hour on
account of a delay at the end of the
line.
