The Juneau Transcript says the Daily Alaskan did not support Thomas Gale through choice but because it was told to do so by the officers of the White Pass x Yukon Route. The readers of the Transcript possibly dc not know how silly that sounds. The fact of the matter is that the highest official of the White Pass in SkagwaY at the time of the election, and the official that is most active in public matters, was a supporter of Judge Murane. He acted in his individual capacity as an American citizen, as did every other official and employe of the railroad company.

WHITE PASS RATES AND THE
 PAPERS

The Whitehorse Star complains that the Dawson papers have not said word in condemnation of the White Pass freight and passenger rates since the beginning of the investigation by the Canadian railway commission.
 Why should they? The Dawson papers probably understood that the matter is now being investigated by a quasi judicial tribunal, and .the pre- sumption is that the commission will give everybody s square deal. They also understand, probably, that it is not public clsmor or passionate abuse of the railroad that is wanted Iby the railway commission, but sworn testi- mony and documentary evidence.
 Iu fact, in this.calling upon the news papers to support demand for freight reductions at this time there is 8 rehec- sion upon thecommissioners themselves. It is tsntamont to saying that they can be influenced by political interests or popular Ipreiudices. The principle involved it is much like the attempt journalists sometimes make to infu- euce courts and iuries, sworn to decide B case according to the law and the evidence. It is something that trequ- ently-too frequently, probably-re- suits in fines for contempt.
 The railway commissioners take 1t for granted, ss 8 matter of course, that the people want rates as low as they can getI,hem. They do not have to be told they have common sense. The demand for lower rates brought them here. They came to ascertain by personal in vestigation and blythe consideration of legal testimony as to whether the people are entitled to that or not.
 The Dawson people have assumed a dignifed position. They take thestsnd of those who ask for and expect a square deal. They see no reason to believe they will not get it.

The Juneau Dispatch speaks of Fair banks temporary advantage" on ac- count of the big vote that was cast in that city. It is difficult to see that the Tsnans gained anything by casting more votes than Southeastern Alaska. Southeastern Alaska gave the Tansna candidate 8 plurality. Thomas Gale would have been elected had there been not a vote boiled in either the Second or Third judicial division. He came within three votes of carrying Juneau against the man who was sup ported by all three Juneau papers Include Silver Bow basin in Juneausand he did carry 1t.

 Mir. Runner says he still has mining property at Fairbanks which will take him back there but further than that his entire interest is in Skagway.

The Juneau Transcript, in the course of & long winded editorial in which it tries to show that the few Juneau tories to whom it serves as lickspittle are IT, says that sll three of the papers of Juneau supported Gov. Swineford, who carried that town in the last election. There is rule of jaw which permits the jury to refuse to believe the terti- mony of 8 witness in anything when 1t is known that he has wiltully testified falsely in ss to any material fact. The same rule may be safely be applied to all walks of life, including newspapers. Perhaps, though, the Transcript thinks the great question as to whom the papers of that town supported is not material and that to lie about it is pardonable. The vote of Southeastern Alaska would justify that conclusion.

ton of power and for the transmission Of

vestigated for the War department the ap-
plirations OF persons and corporations for

tional briefs. In the afternoon Secretary
raft heard representatives OF commercial
bodies and corporations which have de-
Veloped power from the water of the Nj
agara river, who insisted that the grandeur
OF the falls had not been perceptibly inter-
fered with nor the volume Of water apprecl-
ably deprecated.
Secretary Taft said that tomorrow appli-
cations for permits would be heard. assum-
ing for the purposes Of argument that the
permits will be granted. The discussion
will he on the subject of distribution OF
