THE VICTORY AT COLMA.

= DINA is to be congratulated upon the victory
| achieved by her business men and taxpayers
over the gamblers who have been seeking 20
incorporate the district for the purpose OF making
place where their poolrooms could be run wide open
The plans of the gamblers were cunnlngly deviseQ'
and but for the exposure of them by The Call and the
earnestness with which the genuine residents OF the
district opposed them they would have been successful
and that attractive suburb would have been converted
into resort for all the rabbe of touts and toughs
that follow in the wake Of gamblers
The benefit accruing to San Francisco from the
resoute action of the good people Of Coma is hardly
less than that which has been obtained for Gonna
itself The establishment of a wide-open gambling
center to the city would have been almost as
pern1cious as was the notorious gambling carried on
at lnglesde The temptations to the unwary, which
were strong before, would have been renewed, and
we should have had repetitions of the old stories OF
women as well as men led to ruin by the evil infu-
ences of the poolrooms
Now that the victory has been gained it behooves
eny steal march while no one expects it The profits
which would accrue from gambling place of the kind
which designed for Colma large, and will be
continual temptation to gamblers. They will not give
up trying so long a chance for victory remains
They may next turn their attention to some other dis

A BOSTON VIEW OF 1T.

Y reason OF the fact that New England has GER
X tain large interests which can be promoted by
| } Canadian concessions the press OF that section
is inclined favor the pretensions OF Canada the
Pacific Coast. Indeed, some OF the leading New Eng
land papers disposed to grant whatever the Ca
madam Government may ask in Alaska provided it
yield in return what New England desires.
An illustration of this peculiar way of looking the
issues at stake between the two countries is afforded
by the comments of the Boston Herald the Alaskan
boundary controversy 1t begins by saying the Cana
dian authorities have reasonable desire to obtain
ocean port for their Northwest Territory that if we
occupied the position of Canada should make
most urgent demands for accommodations of that
kind and that ION the ground OF international comfy
can be fairly urged that this is a concession
part which can be reasonably asked for and
ably accorded" 1t then adds: "The ground for OBJ
lection on this side of the border is based almost
wholly on the selfish interests Of three four Pacific
ports that now have species OF monopoly in the
fitting of miners going into the British Northwest
Territory"
Having laid down those propositions the Herald
goes on to say:
The question of our relations with Canada should
be treated not by the desires of local special inter
ests but on the ground of broad national consdera-
tons The Canadians have great market the larger
part of which now possess and which we not only
want to keep but materially increase in the future
There will be objection to the statement that
relations with Canada should be treated broad
tcna considerations but few people outside of New
England will deem the retention Of our Alaskan pos
sessions unimpared local issue. If there be any
such thing as national policy, it surely be that
of protecting and maintaining the boundaries of the
republic. The local interests in the those
which New England would like to advance at the ex-
pense of surrendering part of Alaska to the Cana
dians.
Such selfshness as appears in the argument is not
on the side of the Pacific Coast. The demand of the
Canadians for Alaskan port appears to our Boston
contemporary quite reasonable, but what would it
think if Canada should desire port on the coast Of
New England?
