long delayed denials
-Senator La Follette is out with a denial. He asserts
that the press reports of his infamous speech at St. Paul
were “grossly false." If they were “grossly false” why
did not “Battling Bob" correct the falsity at once. It is
not possible to believe that the Wisconsin aide to the kai
ser did not read the newspaper accounts of the speech the
morning after its delivery, and if they were “grossly
false” that he would have overlooked the opportunity to
set the people right. La Follette is not the >oit '>1 man
who would permit himself to be misrepresented without
vigorous protest. His whole record as a public man shows
that he has always courted publicity.
In connection with La Follette s denial, it is interest
ing to note that one of his distinguished compatiiots, now
residing in Berlin, has also published a denial. Admiral
von Tirpitz has declared that he did not say in the early
part of last February that the German l -boat would con
quer England by August 1. This may be true, but a nat
ural inquiry is. Why did he wait until the first week in
October to make the denial? As an officer and a gentle
man, how could he honorably permit the German people
to believe something he had never said? In the case of
La Follette whose seditious utterances at St. Paul were
carried by the Associated Press to every corner of the
I’nited States, why did he permit the “grossly false re
ports to stand unchallenged?
We are inclined to the opinion that the long delayed
denial was prompted by the demand from all sections of
the country, including the Republican State Central Com
mittee of Wisconsin, for the expulsion of La Follette from
the United States senate. The denial comes too late to
break the force of public opinion.

During the interim, between the last and the next

It is said in shipping circles that the vessels ot the
Alaska fishing fleet will not lay up between seasons this
year as has previously been the custom. 1 he scarcity of
ships has been a factor in the decision of the companies to
depart from their customary practice. The Alaska Pack
ers’ Association has about forty vessels and a dozen more
are offered by other firms. It is supposed that the ships
will carry case oil and other products to Australia, re
