PROGRESS AND “PROGRESSIVES.’’. Senator Wheeler rays 'lie Is a self-made man. Tjiat (recalls that there, bias never been a tlfne when eir cum; tanccs were ro advantageous for an ambitious lioy to make something of himself as now. Senator Wheeler had opportunities tx> work and acquire an education that were not lavailatble to those qf tho American generations which precoded him, anti those who are now growing toward maturity ha¥e better opportunities than those which were available to Senator Wheeler. The fact that n larger percentage of ttie leaders in (political and business life in the present, generation are “self-made" Ilian in any previous generations of Americans and the further fact that more youths today are working their way through schools ol higher education than ever before justify three oonciusiona This condition, which must be admitted to exist, suggests a sew angle to the controversy that has been waged in the columns of certain newspapers over the meaning of the term ’'progressive" as ap plied to modern American politics. People ask, “What is a progressive." The better opportunities of the youth if yesterday over those of the day before and (lie better opportunities of those of today over Have >f yesterday would seem to suggest that after all llhose people who have been developing America, increasing her material prosperity from day t-, day, bringing into use the resourcs of the country, the organizers, the toilers, are the roal “progressives" rather than the foul-finders and 'the promoters of class, racial, relligiops and sectional (hatreds, the Inriigators of envy, discontent and disloyalty, the com munists and revolutionists. Final “progressives" ure those wiho lead toward progress. DAWSON NEWS CELEBRATES ITS QUARTER CENTURY. The I)afwwon Dafily iincws recently celebrated its 25lh birthday anniversary. The iNevva was estab lished by (Capt. Richard Roedlger and aesoci'atca in 1899, tiie first issue appearing July 31 of that year. It la, liierfore, the oldest newnpaper of continuous publication in the North, and its record Justifies it In saying that: Then, a. now, the policy of the News was to use its efforts for ilio upbuilding of the Yukon and the prosperity and happiness of the people of tire Territory, nil of whom, through long association in tbusihoss artd so cial life, we liave learned to regard as per sonal friends. For most of Us life. Charles R. SoLllemelr, one of the ’best newspapermen iwho over cattle to the North, has been editor of the paper. It has been enterprising, loyal to the interests of Its country, ethical In all Its practices, and a real newspaper_ deserving of many more quarter centuries of life. ALASKANS VOTED SOLIDLY AGAINST K. K. K. The Alaska delegation to tho Democratic Nationalj Convention voted solidly —all six votes'—against the Ku Kliix Klan. The Alaska member of the Resolu tions Comm iliac was one of the fourteen signers of the minority report on that plank—the repo-t which fawn'd denouncing tho Ku Klux dCLan by name. Tin report was voted for by the solid delegation on the roll rail upon that question. The minority plunk was voted down by a majority of one in the cinvention, but that was due lo the unit rule that wan in effect in so ipany of the Western and Southern States. LABOR SHOULD HAVE A VOICE. The suggestion of John W. Davis that labor si ould havea voice in the management of (lie Indus tries in which it is employed in the interest of stability is wise. There would be loss unrest if labor was in the know as to the management of I he concern: which employ it. If the workinmon knew how hard tho managers of employing companies have to work to meet payrolls, to keep up equip ment and development in order to make their com panies going institutions, and to make them yield fair roturns for the thousands of Investors scattered thoughout tlie country, there would be less unrest in the land. If tlliey bail this knowledge and shared in the burden that those men who, through the ap plication of ability, energy and integrity have been called from the ranks to serve tin managerial positions, it would breed tolerance and the spirit of co operation. OLDEST PAPER IS NO MORE. The recent sutpcnsion of the Skagway Alaskan closed the life of the publication with the longest con tinuous career of any newspaper ever publisher) In Alaska. It was established by Oscar W. Dunbar, pioneer Oregon printer and nwfpaperman, many years publisher of the Astoria Budget and brother of Judge R. O. Dunbar, Justice of the Washington State! Supremo Court from the time of the admission of the State until hie death. The drst issue appeared February 1, 1898 Mr, Dunbar sold the paper I within a few months after its establishment to George W. De Succa who was its publisher until 1901 when he sold it to I. M. Jensen and George S. Town, r.ow of the Gateway Printing Company in Seattle. Mr. Town retired after a year or two and Mr. Jensen sold it to the late Dr. Keller in 1907. It was published by Dr. Keller until his death in 1922 and then by Mrs. Keller until she recently sold it, when it was suspended after a lifetime of more than 26 useful years. Tho suspension of the Alaskan leaves the Nome Nugget the oldest newspaper in the Territory of continuous publication. La Follette wants a campaign fund of $3,000,000. If either of the old parties should go out boldly for a campaign fund of that dimensions Senator La Follette (would call it a corruption or slush fund but In (Ills case it Is a collection for moral uplift.

One wonders why scientists iftbuld ascend the Jungfrau t> make their observations in order to get a few thousand feet nearer Mars which at best Is 36,000,000 miles away. A Wholesome Program. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) That blatant or emotional pacifists, rabid radicals | and demagogic politicians are not to have things alii their own way 'Is Indicated in the proposed j I program for National Education Week, November 171 tc 23. as designated by the Bureau of Education of 'lie United States Department of the Interior in' 'co-operation with the National Education Association! and the American Legion, to be given at the exposl-i I'ticn held in New York City. There is inspiration | to be. derived from a reading of a program so | | patriotic and so comprehensive with reference, to the met vital interests of the nation and the world. The program includes: Constitution Day—“The Constitution: the Bul wark of Democracy and Happiness.’’ Patriotism Day—.“The United States Flag Is the Living Symbol of the Ideals and Institutions of Our Republic.” School and Teacher Day—“The Teacher: the Guid ing Influence of Future America.” Illiteracy Day — “Informed Intelligence Is the Foundation of Repreeentative Government." Physical Education Day—.“Playgrounds and .Mb it tic Fields Mean a Strong, Healthy Nation." Community Day—.“Service To Community, State and Nation Is the Duty of Every Citizen.” For God and Country Da.y—"Religion. Morality and Education Are Necessary For Good Government." I lie heart of America is sound; It will never become depraved so long as the forces of education, religion and patriotism function at ilicir normal impulse, responsive to their normal Inspirations and aspirationc. In the above program we find the epic smng of American destiny-—.the song of rational pro gem.. the ennobled desiires for a nobler future the essence of civic virtue, the core of loyalty, the exal te,t.on of devotion to tlio constltuiton and the flag anil the sanctification of service. So long as men and women hold to those higlh ideals America never can sink to the level of moribund nationalism to the depths of ribald internationalism proclaimed by the I cnins of the world and by them baptized in the lilmd of those who behold in country something more than a monstrous Saturn, doomed to the eter jnal devouring of its own children.

A cynic Is a bird who thinks it isn’t necessary for a man to wear a wedding ring because when he Is married he always looks it. The reason we know the couple sitting in the hammock is the moon light Is not father and mother is because pop Is sitting on the front porch cooling off and mom’a in the kitchen washing up the dishes. Another sad thing about life is the number of girls with divine shapes who are too poor to go to the seashore where they could show them off. From the way they act you would think some couples had married -be cause they disliked each other In stead of loved each other so much. Another grand thing about bring a bachelor Is he can spill anything he wants to on the restaurant's clean (If ever) table cloth without anybody bawling him out. They now can locate ships at spa by radio, but a lot of men will con tinue their present pastimes until it Is plausible to locate absent hus bands by It. The reason we don't believe a woman when she declares she only had her hair bobbed for comfort Is because she really wanted comfort she would have bad it clipped.
