ROOSEVELT ANI) RUSSIA
That suggestion that Roosevelt become the Moses ot
Russia is certainly inspired. Here is the very job for
which the colonel was manifestly created. Russia needs
a man with granite backbone and adamantine jaw—a man
who can tank his way through every obstacle, who is
afraid of no opposition, who will fight till the last revolu
tionist falls into step. She needs a leader who can lick her
discordant, chaotic elements into a coherent whole, line up
her millions of fighting men into an army and then go in
and wallop the Kaiser to a finish.
There is the kind of programme that would give the
belligerent energies of Col. Roosevelt full play—he has
never yet had a job when he could really let himself out
and do his darndest: but here it is—waiting for him. As
President of the United States T. R. didn’t have any scraps
beyond fighting off office-seekers and Democrats with a
rear guard of Standpat Republicans. Even in Africa,
hunting lions, he had time to write books and newspaper
articles, to say nothing of Outlook editorials.
Rut if he goes over to lead Russia out of the wilderness
he will, for once, have his hands full—he'll have a field big
enough to keep him busy, mind and body. When he gets
through, when Russia is a well-established Republic, work

No commonwealth in the U. S. should be so solidly
Democratic as Alaska, for the reason that only the Demo-1
erats have ever given the Territory a chance. And as
this Territory should be Democrat in politics, the Third!
Division should have more of a tendency toward that par
ty than any other Division. The hig prosperity of the
Third District, the large increase in population, and the j
domination position that this division holds at the present
• ime in the Territory, is directly attributed to the action
of the Democratic party in the United States.—(Anchor
age Weekly Democrat.)
