No suggestion OF tariff revision ap.
pears in the presidents message this
year. The business of the country and
those who earn and spend wages are
thankful for that The short session
OF congress. which ends March 4. 1907,
is much too short for tarif revision.
and Il viii not be undertaken. That
much seems certain. Neither is tariff
revision likely to be undertaken at the
session OF the sixtieth congress imme-
diately preceding the election Of 1908.
That election viii have an important
bearing upon the question OF tariff re
yision. At present some OF the most
aggressive and progressive" among
the Republican revisionists are not
very far from a disposition to join
hands with the Democratic minority In
forcing revision. Just now they are
reluctant 70 take that step. They may
be more willing in the sixty-frst con.
gress. IL lit is hard to keep a squirrel
on the ground" II is almost as hard
to keep a progressive revisionist
from embracing an opportunity to
tinker the tariff. Last months vote
at the congress elections has been
construed by the "progressives" as an
Endorsement OF their views. Present
Indications do not, TO say the least

wLL NOT REVISE TARIFF.
No Reason to Disturb Industrial Sta
bility and Prosperity.

Our morning contemporary IN Dc,
MOines ought TO know that the last
election did not turn on the tariff aud
II ought TO realize that the present
congress will not revise the tariff, for
the best reason OF all. that not even
the president asked for such action in
his message. That paper is simply
seeking TO continue the strife within
the party in the state. Il can pro.
mote nothing else by It's course. There
is the greater work OF regulating cor
porations and curblng the trusts.
which must be done outside OF the tar

conception of politics and duties.
While engaged In these important
duties. there Is no reason why the
industrial stability and prosperity
should be further threatened by tariff
legislation. The country viii DO very

To keep injecting issues which are
not germane TO the present work In

Let us fulfill the presidents pending
reforms and then we will be better
able to Judge how much reforming
there ought TO be on the tariff. And
rest assured OF one thing. and that Is
that II all the duties were lowered by
half. there would be the same dissat.

ever be so finely equalized as TO give
satisfaction To all. A tariff IA merely
a compromise and the next compro-

Col. Dow once Waited friends at

up his horse and remarked: Tho

For what purpose?" asked the
colonel.
For the passengers 10 treat. was
the reply.
But none OF as drink. and we don't

THE PRIMARIES

The Alaskan has no intention of as suming the role Of mentor for tonight's primary. This newspaper thinks that home rule would be 8 good thing for Alaska. It does not, however, believe that territorial government is all that has been rOsily pictured for it. Never theleSs it certainly is so much ahead of what we are getting at the present time that there is no comparison between the two, aud It is the opinion of The Alaskan that in order to get into line for receiving territorial government Alaska must show it's united entagon- ism against Governor HOggatt. Fair banks and the Panama country, Nome and the coast towns have already gone on record against him, and its up to the Skagway Republicans to fall into line. The time to frame up winning political matters for Alaska's betterment is to- night, and the opportunity to pass strong resolutions of condemnation of Governor Hoggatt's acts and select known friends Of territorial govern ment to go to Juneau should be taken advantage of or not regretted when too late.
