The general concurrence among the
newspapers down in the Kennebec valley
in the opinion that Mr.. L. T. Carleton of
Winthrop has all the qualifications need
ed in an insurance commissioner and that
it will be a severe blow to the state to
select anybody else is quite remarkable.
Without detracting from Mr.. Garlic
toms qualifications about which we know
but little we may be permitted to suggest
that perhaps there may be other candi-
dates whose qualifications may be worth

The article on Alaska which appears
In another column, was compiled from
notes taken by Assistant Engineer John
B. Coyle, U. S. R. NJ, who spent three
years in that territory and in the Behring
Sea. The story Of how we happened to
buy Alaska seems to bear out Sir Charles
Russelrs claim that the United States
had no thought of the sealing industry
when the purchase was made. And this
point perhaps was brought out in the dis
cussion which followed Sir Charles
statement; although the condensed cable
dispatch which we received did not men
ton it.

1t is not strange that the local direc-
tors of the Worlds Fair want to keep
the show oper Sundays, and to a person
acquainted with the conditions existing
in Chicago it seems somewhat ridicul-
GUS to keep it shut. But the government
voted aid to the fair on the condition
that it be closed Sunday, and the direc-
tors accepted the aid on this condition.
1t is difficult to see therefore how the
fair people can open the show without
dishonorably repudiating their obliga-
tions. To open the grounds without
opening the buildingsis certainly VIC
,lation of the spirit Of the agreement, and
the directors would stand better with Wis
itors to the fair and not any worse with
the government to repudiate the agree
ment altogether and open the buildings
as well as the grounds. Indeed there is
not much doubt that that will be the
final upshot of the matter if the grounds
are opened as is now proposed.
