THE SIGHT CONCLUSION
la oar issue cf yesterday, appeared a statement
over the signature ©f Mr- Chas. H. Cosgrove. Presi
dent of the Cc-rur-t'-rcuG Club, in whtch be discussed
the most v.tul sjaest-.oa that ever confronted South
eastern Aas'u. and particularly the residents of this
co-maturity: and that is the loss of a commerce that
has been the backbone of our prosperity for many
years. As heavy a burden as this loss imposes, add
to it tie fart that our loss is used to enrich a for
eign country: a rival town, makes it doubly annoying.
Hence the strenuous effort So cure our iH by apply
ing the proper resnedy- And thus far no remedy
•-ts been offered with as ranch virttse as the on*
suggested by essr worthy citisen, Mr. H. C. Strong,
vbse devotion and faith in ear ecesrsunity and ter
ritory caaaaot be ^acstiossedt mi who is now devot
ing his hr-,o and tnocey to oar best .merest.
' The remedy suggested by Mr. Strong to the Wash
ington officials was aptly described is Mr. Cosgrove's
article, area shows that with its appMcatxre. oar rons
nserre will return without causing the least injury
no a—titr but the l—.habitants of the - - tv.gr ^>xts
to which cur tenraeiw has slipped away. In the
remedy, ore can easily see an eJemen; of fairness
Moreover. it strictly complies with the wise old role,
“Charity begins at home *
For several mtenths past, the businessmen of
th-s eomreunity have been racing their brains is an
etsaeaver to discover a ways® stop this toss. How
ever. when success seemed ready to crown their ef
forts- tier would butt up against the best interests
of the f..-herme~ This, above all things, was to be
avoided for the simple reason that the fishermen
need protectee®. Having that is sr.-ad. it was up to
sc meet- so discover a remedy that would help as
wttfcosn any less to the fishermen; and credit is
wholly aue tt Mr Strang to have discovered it- Bat
he ceeis :ur support to convince the Washington
officials that the remedy must be applied. There
fore. let us tm-te: or better stiii, lev everybody write
a tetter to Secretory Redfirid and impress oe ais
mind the necessity for action.

IT SERVED THEM RIGHT
Every fall, the meet prosperous Alaskans follow
the birds and go south. There they enjoy luxuries
while we *V»M stiffs' who are not favored with this
world’s goods have to remain at home and stand the
consequence of our faulty judgement or misfortune.
Be that as it may. we know that we cannot afford
to spenjd the money. With others it is different
They make it easy and consequently they spend it
in ease. And. in a way, you cannot blame them
much either. This good fortune, however seems to
lave played a trick on them this winter, as every
resuming has a tale of hardship to tell, which
is either that they have gone through terrific storms,
' floods or something. To all of which we say, it ser
ved them right. The hardship they report as having
endured on this winter’s visit south, however, is mere
ly a drop in the bucket compared with what they
will have to endure in the hereafter. And. H will
i serve them right.

THE GREATEST SOCIAL SERVICE '
Capital cannot move a wheel without labor, nor
can labor advance beyond a mere primitive existence
without capital. But with tabor and capital as part
ners. wealth is created and even greater product!
vrty snade In the develoftfueBt of this
partnership, the greatest social service is rendered by
that tain who so co-operates in the organisation of
industry as to afford to the largest number of men
the greatest opportunity for self-development and
the enjoyment of every man of those benefits which
his own work adds to the wealth of civilisation. Hus
is better than charity or philantropy; it helps men
to help themselves and widens the horiion of life.—
! John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

THE-MADNESS OF ST. PAUL
(From the Kansas City Star!
What do the people of St. Paul mean anyway?
They want Louis W. Hid for mayor. M. Hill is a
mere railroad man. president of the Great Northern,
and cannot be expected to know anything about the
business of running a city. Fancy a city being run
like a railroad, with a time schedule for doing things,
with responsible officials to see that they are done
and with a f.nss-hearsed financial department to see
where the money goes'
This is mere madness. Before going a step far
ther the people of St. Paul should at least demand to
know if Mr. Hill is a Republican or a Democrat.

The Montgomery. Ala., Journal says: "There
could be no mere fitting time than the present, while
there are wars and rumors of wars, for a practical
recognition of the South as an integral part of the
United States-” The South has the president of the
United States, four members of the cabinet, a large
percentage of the diplomatic corps; the speaker of
the house and the house leadership; the chairman
ship of the twenty-three most important committees
of the house and almost an equal percentage in the
senate and control of all the legislative machinery of
the country. What mote does it desire in the line
of “practical recognition.”—P.-I.
