and others to use as an entertainment
fund is backed by an argument fresh
in the public mind On their way to
the Pacific, Admiral Evans and his
officers have received courtesles from
the governments of most of the South
American countries. These courtesies
must be returned or make America
seem mean before the world, and the
bills for the return entertainments
have been paid out of the pockets Of
Admiral Evans and his fellow officers.
The issue raised by Secretary Roots
recommendation is more than social.

PAY OF AMERICAN DIPLOMA rs.

With administration leaders in both
branches of congress urging the strict
est economy in the matter of appropri-
ations, there is slight prospect that
congress will consider favorably the
recommendations of Secretary Root for
liberal appropriations to build resi-
dences in foreign capitals for use of
American diplomats and consular
agents, and for fund to be used by
diplomats and other officers of the
government in entertaining guests of
other countries. The recommendation
will probably be discussed with the ef-
feet of giving the American people and
congress some interesting information
on conditions abroad which make
diplomatic and consular life unattrac-
tive except to men with long purses.
Americans are prone to smile or
sneer at the elaborate receptions in the
courts of Europe and at the participa-
tion of Americas representatives in
such functions, contrasting these af-
fairs with the times when Ben Frank
lin and James Madison represented this
country in Europe and refused to take
part in such functions. But times have
changed, however. Compared with
those of other countries, the pay of
American ministers is small, although
they are royalty entertained at their
foreign posts and must do a great deal
of entertaining in return or be dis
credited socially. This formal social
life is as much a part of the official
duty of the European diplomat as any
act connected with his position. AS a
result 1t has become our custom, al
most necessary, to appoint only very
rich men to diplomatic positions at
European capitals. Ambassador Reid,
for instance. pays more each year for
rent of his London residence than his
salary would amount to for a four
years term. In the diplomatic service
many ministers and consuls are com
PEELED to live in boarding houses or in
cheap residences, or pay cut of their
own pockets the money necessary to
place them in the same rank with the
representatives of other countries.

CHICAGO IS AFTER BUSINESS

Two hundred members of the Illinois Manufacturers Association have secured a special steamer to tour Japan, China, Corea and the Philippines. The trip is in no sense a pleasure trip, but is gone into by the big merchants solely to acquaint them with the business methods and demands of the Far East. They expect to return home in several months with frst-hand knowledge and experience concern ing the Orient, and to lay success ful plans for doing a bigger and more profitable business with the Asiatic countries.
 It is such undertakings as these that are more and more enabling Chicago to make good oh its claim to the title of "the great central market" First the Chicago mer- chants took numerous trips into the various states to educate their countrymen about Chicago, and now they afe going to foreign lands to educate themselves to corner the foreign trade.
 If the "Windy City" continues its progressive tactics, which seem to pervade all the city's activities, somo other metropolises will have to begin 10 d. big things to keep all the trade flom going to the big Illinois trade center.
 It is also the intention of the Chicago Association of Commerce to erect a building at the Alaska Yukon-Pacifc exposition which is to be held at Seattle next year to exploit Chicago in the Pacific Northwest. H. A. Stevens, who is a member of several committees of the association and H. A. Vince Ter, chairman of the ways and means committee, visited Seattle recently to look over the progress of the exposition and to determine on the location for a building. Three sites have been selected ten tatively, and just as soon as the committees having charge of the matter meet, a permanent site will be selected.

their business relations with the paper. Right here we must say that in dealing with the important topics covering the welfare of a people, a paper is compelled to say things that do not please all alike 1; if it did, it would be wishy-washy rag, and not a newspaper.
 We regret deeply this loss of the patronage of men for the benefit of whose business We have worked and even denied ourselves. Our regret is not only for the loss of the patronage and kindly feeling, but we are frank in admitting that If it remains as it is, it will be a severe blow to our earnings, which, God knows, were small at best. If we can not make ends meet finan- cially, we shall be compelled to "shut up shop" However, thank Heaven, we have earned an honest living ever since we were able to work, and can do it again, else where, though we should prefer to remain in this, our chosen town. We have no ill-feeling against any of these men. And we ask them to go back over the years that this paper has been published and weigh, deliberately, the position of the paper. If it has ever been guilty of willful attempt to injure the community, then it has no right to live and be part of the busi- ness circles of the town.
 But if it has striven for the i'm provement and betterment and pro- lection of the community and the entire district, we believe all will agree that it is entitled to the pat ronage of the people of the com- munity and district.
 Further, If the paper is com pelled to cease its labors, its pub fisher can leave with the consola- tion of knowing that he has been thoroughly honest and square in his dealings, and has paid every cent of debt incurred in dealing with all. If this is not true, we shall be pleased to settle any in- debtedness yet outstanding.
 In concluding this statement we desire to thank all of the men for their patronage and the pleasant business relations of the past.

SHALL THIS INDUSTRY DIE?

SHALL IHiS INDUSTRY DIE
 The ALASKA SENTINEL was es- tablished in the year 1902 for the reason that it appeared to its pub fisher at that time that newspaa per was needed here to exploit the many natural advantages and op- portunities with which this section Is endowed; to induce a good, en- trgetic, class of people to come and settle here and assiet in the devel opment of Alaskas resources; to- attract trade from the outlying towns and camps, thereby helping the towns merchants in building tip good businesses; and for the additional and especial reason that q town of the size of Wrangell sit nated apart from the larger places, should have a newspaper to up hold and strive for the purity, dig hity and betterment of the com- munity where it is published.
 It is the duty of 8 newspaper to work, not only for the immediate section Or town in which it is pub iished, but also for the entire state Or district of which it is a part. None can say that the SENTINEL has n6r striven for the benefit of the toIYh ever since it was estab- iished.
 So the paper was established, and, encouraged by liberal ad- rertising patronage. was run until lhe fall of 1905, when it passed to 2 new management, the present publisher taking charge.
 During the years prior to the taking charge by the present pub fisher, the types had become old, and one of the first things he did was to put in new types and new machinery, in order that the paper could De made to look more at- tractiye and that the business men might say with pride of their job printing that it was done in our own town"
 Thgn, believing in the business Instinct of Wrangell's business men, and that this instinct would cause them to stand behind the institu- ton that had stood up for them, we chose Wfang5ll as our future home, and brought the woman of onr choice to share the successes and failures, the smiles and tears, of fife in our chosen home.
 Then came the disastTou5 fire of 1906, which struck such a blow 10 the community. We shared the loss, but knowing that the town was too good, too sound, to quit, but more money inte the business and went ahaad boosting the town and its business.
 To prove that the paper is ap- 5reciated, we have but 10 state the 1act that the fire destroyed the book containing our subscription 'ist, and many of our outside sub. .cribers did not get their paper for a time Letters poured in by the score, asking us what the trouble ,yas. the substance of the letters being Il want my Wrangell paper 90 l can see what is going on at Wrangell." We will leave it to anybody who has ever read this paper if they ever saw the town, or the best interests of the town spo- ken of in any but the highest terms.
