FABLE OF THE KID OUT WEST.
(Spokane Chronicle)
Not wo many years before' Bryan’s first run there was a
man by the name of H. Greeley who said, “Kid beat it—the
old man’s family is getting too large.’’ So the kid gathered up
his marbles and traveled.
Now the old man proceeded to grow self-centered and corp
ulent and forgot all about the kid who had disappeared some
where beyond the Mississippi. One day the kid, who had
grown strong and brawny emerged from his tar paper shack
out in the sage brush and says, “Pa, I can build just as big a
sky scraper as you can,” and he did it. Pa says, “Now don’t
get foolish.” Then the kid says, “Pa, I can raise more grain
to the acre than you can,” and lie did it. Pa says, “Now, don’t
get sarcastic.”
Next the kid says, “Pa, I can raise better fruit than you
ever saw,” and he did it. Then the old man says, “O you talk
too much,” and he got jealous and proceeded to tell the kid
where to get off at. The kid was full of ginger and he whacked
the old man one over the cranium and says, “Pa, take a bite
out of my prohibition and see how you like it.”
Then he gave him another whack on the pate and says,
“When you have swallowed that try some of my woman suf
frage and see how you like it.” Then the kid saws, “Pa, this
hurts me worse than it does you,” and he gave his center of
culture a solar plexus blow.
# Next he ran right through his pet literary field with his
alkali-smeared boots - on, then he took a running jump at his
chief financial center,, tjn-canned the Tammany pup and pro
ceeded to dictate to the old man who should run the ranch for
the next four years.
Then when the kid stopped to get his wind, the old mail
faltering and with tears in his eyes, says. “Sou. you’re a chip
off the old block—T am proud of you—you’re a better man than
your dad ever was.”
f? * * *
—and the son of the “Kid,” whose mother was a suffragette
grew strong and wise, and looking for green fields and pastures
new, came to Alaska, where there is much good soil and equal
rights, and prohibition, and he had his father’s (the Kid’s)
knowledge of modern methods, and in a few years he returned
to the home of his childhood and he double discounted his-fath
er (the Kid), for he had vast acres of grain, and cattle, and
goldjmines, and coal mines, and copper mines, and pulp mills, j
and salmon canneries,- and huge ships and—well history re-1
peated itself, only on a larger sale than it did for THK KID.
Our Juneau correspondent wires us that the upper house j
of the Alaska legislative assembly is hopelessly deadlocked, j
over matters entirely political in character. What is the use
of dragging politics in our legislature? Why don’t these men
elect a president without delay and get down to business!
There is much constructive work to do, and our representatives,
should be at it. That’s what they are paid for. They seem to
forget that they are merely representatives of the people, and I
the people want results. Those representatives that place pol
itics above all other considerations are unworthy of a seat in j
the assembly. We sent them down there to work for the best
interests of Alaska.; not to employ their time in haggling ovei
petty political affair. that don’t amount to a continental. Tin-1
assembly is no place for professional politicians.

“THAT MAN LOGEMANN” •
4th Ave. bet. E and F
Anchorage, Alaska
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10c-Only
very few republican members of tl;<
house want to prganixe the Si cty-fii
congress when it a:s mbb s. Moi t •
them are becoming convinced xlv .
there is to be a great <Joal of tn
for the next congress. It is sen v
ossible for the pi (short
to take ca;e of the deficit wliich :f; ■
the treasury, and it will devolve vya i
lire next congev-x to <lp\ iso ninth-,
of taxation which will pay the ve
great expenditures authorised by ti.
present., congress aart"-which. nu’st ■
continued for years to come.
The. republicans' who would like
organize the next house are those who
will he benefited in the s\vay of posi
tions and important chairmanships.
That is natural. All men look out for
their own personal interests first, and
good positions on committees and else
where is important to the average
member. But at present the majority
of the republicans think it would be a
good thing to lei^the democrats con
trol all branches of legislation during
the coming two years.
Extra Session Threat.
Two years ago President Wilson
was very glad to avoid an extra ses
sion of congress, and it is supposed
that he would be perfectly willing to
see the present session clear up all
business by the time it adjourns. But
he has set his mind on a program and
has already indicated a disposition to
call an extra session if his recommen
dations are not carried out. As a gen
eral thing a threat of an extra session
causes congress to work hard, and that
may follow the intimation from the
white house at this time.
Want Their Share.
The thunders of the economists in
the house will avail nothing when
there is enough of so-called “pork” in
sight to secure votes. Take the sub
treasuries, which have been pronounc
ed useless since the federal reserv ■>
act went into effect. When an attempt
waiy made to abolish them the citi. •
having such sub-treasuries rallied
their forces and voted do'vn the com
mittee on appropriations at every
point.
Large Black Population.
While 'the prohibition bill for the
Cisfrict of Columbia was under dis
evasion the statement was made in the
.'enn'e that there wore 100.000 negro.::
in Washington. Senator Gal linger, of
New Hampshire, who is well i iforim •'
in regard to capital conditions, though
the number was placed C > high, b •'
it. is a fact that nearly one-third of
the population of the raliona! canif
i.i black. The negroes have bee i con:
ing to Washington ever since the ci
war ended.
Constitution in the Way.
The constitution of the Unit
States is lfiade to bear a burden r.
every effort to pass legislation. The j
constitution was dragged in several j
times and held up as a barrier to ac- ■
tion during the discussion of prohibi- !
tion bill for the District of Columbia, j
For instance it was declared to be im
possible to let the peeople of Washing
ton vote on the question because the
constitution stood in the way. Then
it was also said that it was against
the constitution to say how much or
how little liquor an individual might
kep in his house. In fact, the consti
tution served quite a purpose in pro
longing the debate.
For the Babies.
Members of the house were striving
to secure an additional appropriation
for the children’s bureau and the cry
of lack of money was raised.
“We are going to appropriate at this
session of congress,” remarked Minor

will be for the purpose of possible en
