DESERVEb PRAISE.
(When Senator Hubbard said dur
ig the closing hours of the Second
laska legislature that the voters of
e Third division would have to ex
rcise great wisdom if they selected
man capable of filling the place of
enator B. F. Millard, who retires
om the legislature with the present
ession, he spoke by the card. Sen
tor Millard is one of the big men
if Alaska. He is a hard worker, a
igorous thinker and i rsipe in ex
lerience. He is a man of positive
■onvictions and possesses the cour
age t*o fight for them. There is not
a single “white feather” in his plum
age nor a bit of “yellow” in his
makeup. He has rendered excellent
service to Alaska as a builder, a citi
zen and a lawmaker.—Juneau Em-1

THE AMERICANS IN MEXICO.
The Herald has no apology to
make to anybody for its action in
publishing today the text of the sup-,
pressed cablegrams that have passed
between the American colony in Mex
ico and the secretary of state. These
cablegrams are published' because the
American people have a right to know,
and should know, the reasons that
make it impossible for their fellow
countrymen now in Mexico to leave
that country in response to the re
peated suggestions of the government
at Washington.
While the conditions revealed in
the communications sent by the
American colony at Mexico City
through the minister for Brazil has
been vaguely understood, the censor
ship at the Mexican capital and at
Vera Cruz has been so rigid that the
facts have come out only in piece
meal. In this correspondence the
high points are so clearly set forth
that there should lie no further doubt
concerning-the truth of the situation.
"Mexico is drifting toward total de
struction from which a mistaken al
truism is powerless to save it,” these
American citizens assert. "The pres
ent struggle does not represent the
efforts of a people to secure liberty
and civil rights so much as a clash
of personal ambition and revenge.”
This, in a nutshell, is Mexico to- j
day. Nothing can be gained by an
endeavor to misrepresent the facts.
These Americans in Mexico believe
they have a right to expect of their
government protection of their lives
and their property. They explain why
they cannot leave. They ask that,
the Mexican situation be accepted for
what it is and “not for what it might
be hoped that it might become.” And
by way 'of reminder they recall a
plank of the Baltimore platform up
on which' this administration came
into power, which reads:
“Every American citizen residing or
having property in any foreign coun
try is entitled to, and must be given,
the full protection of the United
States both for himself and his prop
erty.”—New York Herald.
DETRfiifCARS
ARE TIED UP
Strike Causes Complete Tie-up of Trol
ley Lines—Jitneys Making
Money Fast.
DETROIT, May 13.—All the street
‘cars of this city are tied up as a
result of the strike of motormen and
conductors, who demand higher sal
aries. The companies insist that they
are unable to make expenses at the
present wage, as the jitneys have ser
iously crippled their business. The
tie-tip is complete and not a car is
running. The company, however,
have wired to Chicago for strike
breakers and have asked the police
for protection for the new men and
it is expected a long fight will re
sult. j
Every automobile in the city is be
ing impressed into the jitney service
and the owners are making consider
able money by raising rates to ten
cents and are carrying all their cars
can handle. The police have been
asked to force the jitney owners to
dnjp to the five cent rate and not to
allow them to take advantage of the
distress of the people to raise rates.

AJUIBRARY
SEATTLE, May 13.—The Arctic
Brotherhood has made an appeal to

the best libraries on Alaska affairs
in existence and has secured many
duplicate copies of works no longer

The bureau has spent considerable
time and much money in securing a
large library of Alaska books and is
proud of the result.

FIGHT CMHEBTMFH
PORTLAND, Ore., May 13.—Four
old Indian chiefs have applied to the
courts for an injunction restraining
the cannery companies operating near
The Dalles, Ore., claiming that under
an old treaty between the Indians
and the government of the United
States they alone had the right to
fish at the "points now being used by
