terlor, and good wagon roads connect ing the various mining camps with the railroads. With access to the different parts of the territory thus facilitated, the cost of landing supplies at the camps would be greatly reduced, so much so, indeed, that even low grade ore could be worked at a profit. With coal reu. dered readily accessible, smelters would be built near the copper mines, and ore that cannot now be shipped out with profit would then become valuable be cause of the great reduction ia the cost of putting copper on the market.
 , With railroad running into central Alaska would come also the develop ment of the agricultural resources Of the country, and there would be raised within the territory itself the hay and grain to feed the cattle and horses, and the fruits aud vegetables to meet the greater part of the wants of the people. It can readily be seen that with the building of a railroad into central Al aska, new era of progress and growth
 will begin, and the country will develop

ALASRA'S NEEDS

Seward Gateway: More than the usual number of men have visited dit- ierent sections Of Alaska this summer with a view to developing gold or cop per or coal claims that were known to be Of value. Alter looking the ground over aud counting the cost of placing the product on the market they have been compelled in some instances to abandon work already begun, and iu others have declined to incur the ex- pense of shipping lu the necessary ma chinsry and supplies.
 There is an abundance of coal and mineral of various kinds scattered all over the territory, but they are so far removed from the base of supplies that expense of developing the ground is too great to warrant the undertaking.
 Alaska's greatest needs at the present time are railroads leading into the in-

TAFT ON LABOR

We come now to the question of labor. One Important phase of the policies of the present administration has been an anxiety to secure for the wage earuer au equality of opportunity and such positive statutory protection as shall place nim on level in dealing with his employer. The republican party has passed an employers liability act for interstate railroads, and has es- tablished au eight hour law for govern ment employees and on government cons struction. The essence of the reform affected by the reiormer is the abolition of the iellow-servant rule. ard the in- troduction of the comparative negli- gence theory by which an employe in- iured in the service Of his employer does not lose all his right because of slight negligence on his part. Then there is the act providing for compen- sstiou for injury to government em- ployes, together with the various stat utes requiring safety appliances upon interstate commerce railroads for the protection of their employees, and limit ing the hours of their employment These are all instances of the desire of the republican party to do justice to the wage earuer. Doubtless a more com prehensive measure for compensation of government employees will be adopted in the future; the principle in such cases has been recognized, and in the necessarily somewhat slow course of legislation will be more fully embodied in definite statutes.
 The interests of the employer and the employe never differ except when it comes to 8 division of the joint profit of labor and capital into dividends and wages. This must be a constant source of periodical discussion between the employer and the emplOye, as indeed are the other terms of the employment.
 To give to employees their proper position in such controversy, to enable them to maintain themselves against employers having great capital, they may well unite, because in union there is strength and without it each luli- Edual laborer and employe would be helpless. The promotion of industrial peace through the instrumentality Of the trade agreement is often oue of the results of such union when intelligently conducted.
 There is a large body of laborers, however, skilled and unskilled, who are not organized into unions. Their rights before the law are exactly the same as those Of the union men, and are to be protected with the same care and wstchfuIness.
