THE VALUE OF ALASKA

The most interested in the progress
of the Pacific coast and most confident
of its future are not always aware of
the solid foundation On which it rests.
Speaking of the north Pacific coast in
particular, represented by the cities of
which Seattle is the chief, their future
is made absolutely sure, less by the
coming development in trans Pacific
commerce than by the already exist
ing and solidly based prosperity of
Alaska. 1t is the growth and COM
merce of Alaska which has made Seat
tie what it is today. The city in size
and in volume of business is out Of all
and would long ago have suffered the
collapse that follows such shooting
ahead but for the fact that it does not
rely for it's business and its wealth
upon the state of Washington alone,
but more particularly upon the district
of Alaska, whose trade is nearly all
done through the port of Seattle.
Our Washington advices show that
for the fiscal year just ended the value
OF Alaskan trade made a new record,
exceeding $20,OO0,o00 in ALL These fig
Ires have no reference to such foreign
commerce as exists; neither do they,
as most people would suppose, cover
shipments of precious metals. They
include imports and exports of domes-
tic merchandise alone. That is to say.
there was business passing last year Of
strictly commercial character between
Alaska and the remainder of the
United States to the total of $4,000
600. This is very handsome trade.
When it is considered that Alaska
buys practically everything that her
people consume from the outside-food
supplies as we'll as clothing and manu-
featured articles-and that her exports
consist Of few articles in the rough.
like canned salmon and lumber, the
value of such a trade to the point
through which it is procured will be
appreciated.
The statistics are still more inter-
esting as indicating Alaska's place in
our future, and showing the Injustice
under which her people labor today.
in common with all others who are
denied the full privileges of American
citizenship. There is less difference
between the rich and prosperous
Alaska of today and the barren and
desolate waste which we supposed the
country to be when Seward bought it
than there is between Alaska today
and the Alaska of twenty years or
even ten years hence. The resources
OF the country have hardly been
scratched. 1t is going to develop in all
lines. Its wonderful agricultural pos
sibilities and its mineral wealth are in

1t is a great domain, and it's exist
ence where it lies is going to be one
factor in making Seattle the chief city
of the Pacific coast, assuring her a
future as much surprising that of San
Francisco as New York exceeds Sa-

 speeches on the tarif or the most vi triolie abuse of the other side. Maiori- ties have turned upon the baby-kissing endurance of budding statesmen. Mothers have trudged miles to win a salute for baby from the kissing can- didate. The fiddle played its part in the election of a Governor of Tennessee, but the triumphs of the baby-kissing polftican have been legion, and are still spOradically reported from regions where the fine old traditions are pre- served.
 The Red Lodge affair. however, is suggestive as another instance of the possibilities of small things shaping the destinies of men, and perhaps of na- tions.

 It is said that the natural tendency of the mind is to seek causation. It is related that Rhode Island pig, which was held fast in the fence. was the re- mote cause of the declaration of war with Great Britain in 1872 As the story was recently told in the Public Ledger, the logic of the case is irrefu- table. At the Rhode Island election in 1911 a precinct was lost to the Fed- eralists by one vote because a Fedora list farmer spent so much time rescu- ing the pig that he arrived at the polls too late to cast his vote. The conse- quence was that a war representative was elected to the Legislature by majority of one and United States Senator, elevated by one vote. was sent from Rhode Island to Washington and war was declared by Congress against Great Britain by a majority of one The Nation was plunged Into the conflict by a Rhode Island pig, and who can tell what mornentous results may follow the failure of the Montana statesman's kissing campaign ?-Phila- dlphia Ledger,

ABE HuMMEL ON ACTORS.
Famous Theatrical Lawyer Tells of
 Players as Witnesses.

A. H. Hummel, the well known theatrical lawyer, relates in the The ater Magazine for Christmas some amusing experiences with players in the law courts. Says MT. Hummel:
 I have found actors admirable wit nesses as a general thing, though there are notable exceptions to this rule. Most of them show the good results of their training, and they are not af- fiicted with the stage fright that mars the testimony of many persons who at tempt to speak to great audience for the first time. They understand that they must keep up their voices so every syllable will reach the men in the. jury box and all others concerned. When they are instructed to give concise an- swers to questions addressed to them. and to volunteer no other information, they are far more apt to obey than are persons in other walks of life. They realize that the lawyer is the stage manager for their court performance, and that he understands just where the lirnelight should be thrown and where the exit should be made. The talkative witness is usually detrimental to his own side. not only by weakening a climax, but by failing to impress upon a jury the exact point for which he was caIlad

THE KISS IN POLITICS.

}
 Rare Discretion Required in Manage.
 ment of osculatory Campaign.
 Tacitus observes that 1t would not be without advantage to examine those things, slight indeed in appearance, which are often the springs of the most important events. Another writer remarks that if you trace the necessary concatenation of human events g very little way back you may, perhaps, dis. cover that persons very going in or out of door has been the means of coloring with misery or happiness the. remaining current of his life. A stolen kiss, according to the current news paper items, has become burning political issue in Montana. It is charg- ed that one of the Republican candi- dates for the Senate of that State met 8 young woman in Red Lodge and kissed her without her consent, where at the flaming Red Lodge Picket, the leading Republican organ in the local- ity, bolted the offending Senator and demanded his withdrawal from. the. ticket; the County Chairman demanded his resignation; his fellow-p -partisans on the ticket resigned, and appeal is made to United States Senator Mantle, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, to ask for the osculatory candidates withdrawal.
 Without peering to closely into the Red. Lodge incident, something palliative or exculpatory may be said for the kiss per see in politics. A baby-k kissing cam paign, for instance, has been worth. more to candidates for the Legisla- ture, Congress, the Governorship, than reams of thunderous and convincing
