It is a sinister thing for any republic when any strong, unscrupu lous man becomes as popular as Roosevelt is in the United States. ' The popular idol is ant; to abuse his power. Caesar destroyed the Roman republic through his popularity, as Napoleon later shattered the .French republic, Two divergent; views of Roosevelt, showing how he is regarded by hero-mad worshipers. and by opposing pro gressives, are given below.

The Juneau land offlco has notified Fran F. Da vis of Lake Mills, Wis., Arnold L. Scheurer of New York City and Jas. J. Ryan of Katalla that their filings of soldier scrip on the shore lands on Controller Bay, Alaska, haa been re jected because of non-compliance with tho law In filing. Tho land was fjied on, February 13, 1911. On Ap ril 20, 1911, Sonator La Folletto in troduced a resolution in the senate culling on the secretary of tho In terior to furnish. all facts connected with the coal entries mudo upon the lauds withdrawn from tho Chugach national forest reserve, and later re stored to tho public domain by order of President Taft. It was alleged In tho nowspapors about that time that Rlchrtrd 8, Ryan, said to bo a repre sentative of tho Guggenheim-Morgan uyndicate, had been permitted, through connlvauco of President Taft oud Secretary of tho Interior Ballln gor to obtain control of the wholo of tlio waterfront of Controller Bay. ' In July of that year was publish ed what purported to bo a lettor from Ityan to Balllnger, which began, 'Dear nick," and onded, "Dick." Both Dallingor and Ryan denied all kuowledgo of tho 'letter. This loiter niontloned "Charley Toft" ns having used his Influence) In faVor of Ryan. A congressional commlUeo started an Investigation of Ryan's qlalms, but poveral months lator suddenly drop pert tho mat tor. 'fhe land office's jiresont action Is expected to bo the last chanter of tlio story. ran no more question his authenticity and his strength than we ean doubt the velocity of a eyelqne. He is more than a man. He is a destiny. Uo encases in the flesh the dynamic force of the age that gave us Edison, Gomncrs and Mrs. Eddy. Hut the Titanic forces within him arc controlled by a curious power, an, instinct, marvelous and inexplicable, that is not entirely human. Socrates called this power his daimon. To Napoleon it was-his star. Still nameless' in "Roosevelt, this power constitutes tho secret of his success. "In Theodore Roosevelt the paradox of the century is made incarnate. For this reason, to some, he seems incon sistent. That appellation, just, when applied to a shop keeper, is inadequate to describe the orbit unintelligible i .. i ;..: a i.i... jk.i .. .i a . i' t iu iiicuiucrity oi inc eccentric maiict oi ijemus. xsoose- velt, in spite of apparent evidence to the contrary, never contradicts himself. He cannot contradict himself. He himself is a contradiction. He is a radical. He is con servative. He is both. "The insurgent and the conservative are, in him, per fectly and cunningly balanced, lie is in sympathy with both great time currents. Lie gazes into the future and roots in the past. He vibrates with the great radical move ment whose colossal spasms convulse the land, his soul can thrill with the rage of "Voltaire or'Oanton, but he is also strong enough to oppose himself to the madness of poten tial Robcspierres. Life is not logical. History is not log ical. To Roosevelt the great antinomy is revealed. If truth be the moon, Roosevelt, unlike most men, can dis cern metaphysically at lelist both sides of the mys terious disk. "Like the Bible and the English constitution, like woman, like life itself, Mr. Roosevelt is above consistency. He is as fundamental as the Ten Commandments. He is as sound as the Constitution. He has the intuition that makes of woman a superior creature. He is as right as life itself. He may manifest himself, like Proteus, in many aspects, some revolting to hyper-sensitive minds. But he who follows him cannot go wrong in the end." Better King Log Than King Stork. The other view of Roosevelt, of the Roosevelt the demagogue and opportunist, is set forth in the calm, log ical language of Louis Post in the current issue of the Public as follows : "In one of his recent campaign speeches, Mr. Roose velt recurred to his usurpation in the Panama case. Lt is a startling disclosure of his notion of what he means when he talks' of 'carrying out the will of the people.' In the Panama case, so he himself says, T guessed in ad vance what the will of the people would be and I guessed right.' If he hadn't guessed at the will of the people, and carried out his guess as their will, there would have been masterly debates but no canal so he further says. In stead of letting the people express their will in advance, he guessed their minds in advance, and, as he adds, 'took the Isthmus, started the canal, and let them debate' him. And now he justifies his usurpation because he 'guessed right. Couldn t that be said for Caesar? Wasn't it habitual with Napoleon? "And what reason is there for hoping that Mr. Roose velt, if again in power, would limit his guessing at the wil of the people to public works and the invasion of weak nations? Suppose he should guess 'in advance what the will' of the people would, be' about invading a powerful nation and thereby beginning a great war out of which he might emerge as 'the Man on Horseback'! Not to guess at the people's will, if the conditions for such an invasion and its consequent war were ripe, might open the way for masterly debates but no Avar; whereas by making the in vasion and starting a war, he could 'let them debate' him instead of the war. And wouldn't he 'guess right' in such a case also? The war once begun, wouldn't it be the peo ple's will to prosecute it? Or, if-not their voluntary will, couldn't Mr. Roosevelt use treason statutes to guide the will of the people in the direction of verifying hi. guess? "There is nothing in our piecent political situation more ominous than Mr. Roosevelt's popularity. It is the popularity at a democratic crisis of a demagogic despot in the confidence of plutagogic schemers. Better by far Talt than Roosevelt, ll the choice be indeed so unhappily limited. Better King Log than King Stork. Better an Aristocrat full-fed with conservative traditions than a Progressive hungry for personal power." Early last fall tlio Medford loo & Storage, ooinpany hognn laying pious tor a mnU'iiiil iiu,voa in tlio output of their plant in this oily.

Tlico vnnnw .lie now filled to onpaeity and will no kept full to accommodate the locn' demands iu July and August nod Tot the ioing of fruit cars during tlnwo initio mouth; nnd in Scplcmhci'. The fact that the company Ihm doulilcd its Mis-.iulc out put of ice will surely be a hit of news of no small concern to the fruit growurs of the valley just at this time when there i such u magnificent promise of a lar ger fruit crop limn over before. It is certainly gratifying to know that there will bo no shortage of ice al a time when it U most needed and when upon this need depends the iroc.' and safe marketing of the fruit of the valley.
