banks, the board of trade and prominent
mercantile houses. He began the day
by receiving after breakfast little Bar

complimented the artist, promised to
treasure her gift and gave her an auto

The Prince drove about down town
without the accompaniment of huge
crowds. His visit included besides saw

prospect OF linen mill as an outgrowth

Such a mill would employ an average Of

short time, by promoting the general
growth OF business, double Salem's an.

THREE RECIPROCITY SPEECHES.

Those who read the text of Governor
Cumminss speech in the reciprocity con-
vention at Detroit will discover that the
Iowa executive is an out-and-out protec-
ZIONIST with a somewhat exaggerated at
tachment in the way of reciprocal policy.
He believes the tariff should be scrutinized
to see IL some duties are not too high and
even some too low-too low for what? To
insure to American labor and capital the

to that doctrine. Governor Cummins has

such cases if we can make arrangements

JUSTICE TO ALASKA.

While Congress is likely to spend con-
siderable time over the proposed admis-
sion of Arizona and New Mexico as States
there is danger that it will overlook the
claims of Alaska as it has done hereto
fore. Alaska is not asking for admission
as State, and probably will not for some
time to come, but it is asking for fair
treatment as Territory and is entitled to
it. President Roosevelt said in his recent
annual message:
l especially urge upon the Congress the
need of wise legislation for Alaska. 1t
Is not TO our credit as a Nation that Alaska
which has been ours for thirty-five years
should still have as poor a system of laws
as is the case. No country has a more val
fisheries, furs. forests, and also in land
available for certain kinds of farming and
stockgrowing. 1t is Territory of great
size and varied resources, well fitted to
support large permanent population
Alaska needs a good land law and such
provisions for homesteads and pre-emp-
tons as will encourage permanent settle
ment We should shape legislation with
a view not 10 the exploiting and abandon
ing of the Territory, but to the building
up of homes therein.
The land laws should be liberal in type,
so as to hold out inducements to the actual
settler whom We most desire to see take
possession of the country. The forests
Of Alaska should be protected. and. as a
secondary but still important matter, the
game also, and at the same time il is i'm
perative that the settlers should be allowed
to cut timber, under proper regulations. for
their own use. Laws should be enacted
10 protect Alaskan salmon fisheries against
the greed which would destroy them. They
should be preserved as a permanent in
dustry and food supply. Their manage
ment and control should be turned over to
the Commission of Fish and Fisheries.
Alaska should have delegate in the Con-
gross. Ii would be well IL a congressional
committee would visit Alaska and inyesti-
gate its needs on the ground.
No other President has presented the
claims of Alaska as strongly as this, for
the reason. perhaps. that no other has
understood them as well. President Roose-
Welt is at heart Western man and sympa-
thizes with the needs OF new territories.
He evidently appreciates the value of
Alaska. If Congress does not. A Territory
that contains 10000 square miles and a
population approaching 10000. with i'm
mense mineral resources and large wealth
in timber. furs and fisheries. is certainly
worth looking after. The product of the
Alaskan fisheries alone for the past year
Is estimated at value Of about $1,000. 900
the amount we paid for Alaska. The fu-
ture gold output OF the Territory Is be-
yond computation. Alaska has O larger
population to-day thar some of the West
ern states had when they were admitted
to the Union and 1t is q more homogeneous

One or two points in the complaint OF the
sheriffs that they do not receive suitable
compensation because they cannot collect
enough fees to pay their salaries are en-
titled to attention. In the statement pub
lished yesterday representative OF the
sheriffs is reported as saying that before
the present salary law was enacted, when
fee, the position was very lucrative one
the official often making a comfortable
fortune in two years. When, however. the
law was changed as to compensate the
officer with fixed salary, which must be
derived from the fees collected. the fees
at once fell off to such an extent that not
enough can be collected to pay the salary
The only reason the fees are inadequate
now is that under the present prosperity
there are few sherif's sales. That how
ever can be but one source of fees, and
should not be so important as to reduce
fee system, to insufficiency to pay a
reasonable remuneration under salary
system. In the same statement the loss of
fees in criminal suits is the cause assigned
for a considerable loss to sheriffs. Whose
fault is it that these fees are not coll
lected? Why are costs and fines imposed II
they are not to be collected? How could
sheriffs collect all their fees under the old
fee system, while, under the present law,
not enough can be collected to pay the
salary provided by law?

In his annual report, in discussing the
sending Of small sums by mail, Postmaster
General Payne said:
Millions Of our people live more or less
remote from any postoffice. and a very
large proportion OF them are not able TO
buy money orders or bank drafts without
great Inconvenience. IL is not unreasonable
to expect from the government that IL will
provide an easy, convenient and safe
method TO transmit small sums, say s. or
less In amount without putting the sender
to the inconvenience and expense which
now obtains in the purchase OF draft or
postoffice money order.
L urge upon Congress the Importance OF
passing some law so that our people may
have the advantage OF IL at as early a date
as possible. Hundreds OF thousands Of let
tiers carrying small amounts in silver or
postage stamps transmitted every year
through the mails. These letters are a con-
slant temptation TO those handling them.
