Alaskan Coal Fields,

1t was gold that led to the opening
up of Alaska, but it appears from the
annual report of Governor Hoggatt
that coal is the mineral now to be ex-
plotted If the country is to fulfill Its
destiny. Vast beds of high-grade fuel
known to underly stretches Of the
territory, and the governors faith in
those deposits is so great that he
makes them the chief topic Of his final
document to the government. upon
which he urges immediate action with
the zeal Of an enthusiast.
Superior coal of native production
is assuredly the necessity of the coun-
try; not only would the opening of
these mines solve problems in Alaska
itself, but the fuel would find a ready
market in the northwest tier Of states
and would be of advantage to our Pa
cific fleet.
Before the mines can be properly
developed, however, there is much to
be done by the government in clearing
up titles, eliminating alleged frauds in
patents and providing proper regula-
ton for such workings as are to- be as
signed. Many charges of trickery have
been made in connection with the leca-
ton of coal lands. Disposal of these
should be accomplished as rapidly as
possible, so that the departments may
expedite legitimate promotion. The
coal is there. the present generation
feels the need of 1t and mining should
be begun just as soon as the govern
ment can arrange satisfactory safe
guards against corporate greed in
those regions. This is a resource which
the people would like to see served as
well as conserved.

Home Stretch for the Canal.

Congressman Tawney's reinsurance
on the part OF the committee on appro-
priations. recently returned from Pan
anna, that the canal will be open for
traffic five years from the coming New
Years day, brings home to the Ameri-
can people with startling force a reali-
cation Of the tremendous strides that
the work has taken under the direc-
ton OF Colonel Goethals. The vast en-
terprise is at last on the home stretch;
the triumph is in sight.
with a view to a~ccelerating the
work and fulfilling this promise a bill
has been introduced in congress to
centralize the authority more def
nitely in the hands of the president by
the abolition of the canal commission.
The fact that this bill is fathered by
the congressman who have just in
spected the zone makes it apparent
that in the judgment of practical men,
as we'll as experts, the continuance Of
a commission but hampers the eff
Client engineer.
There is nothing radical in the bill.
1t merely holds the president response
BILE for the government Of the zone
and for the construction of the canal,
which is no new power for him except
for the provision that he shall admin
lister affairs at the isthmus through
such persons as he may appoint in
stead of through the commission whose
usefulness appears to have become ex-
hausted.
The people are eager to see the
canal finished. II officialism is found
to be clogging the machinery the bill
now before congress will undoubtedly
enable that body to clear away the
red tape and give Colonel Goethals, in
whose ability everyone has the fullest
confidence, free opportunity to com
plete the job within the time limit now
set.

schleH,s Pronosal to Pearv.

Rear Admiral Schley is plainly ac-
tuated solely by a n of justice in
proposing that Peary submit his claims
of Polar discovery to the same learned
body that declared Cooks proofs in
sufficient, for the admiral has faith
that both men reached the pole, and he
has been through the mazes of a bitter
controversy himself and knows how
easy 1t is for injustice to be rendered.
AS the Polar case stands, the Peary
proofs have been authenticated solely
by Americans who were friendly to
Peary in advance, while the Cook
claims have been rejected by men who
are believed by many to be the worlds
greatest experts on Arctic affairs. The
fact that Denmark had acclaimed
Cooks heroism made no difference to
the Copenhagen judges; they discarded
the evidence on its face value, thereby
manifesting the most rigid integrity.
Now let the same dispassionate crit
les pass upon the Peary claims. Ad-
miral Sehley already has shown by his
clear statement that the claims of Cook
are no more absurd than those of
Peary on their face. 1t will be inter
esting to have CopenhagenIs official
judgment and If Peary refuses to ac-
cept the schley challenge we shall
know what to think of his attitude,

While the question of age is entitled to
due consideration, there is a wide difference
between promoting a 65-year-old circuit
Judge to the supreme court and naming
a G5-year-old lawyer, engaged in private
practice. Judge Lurton has been on the
bench for sixteen years and he already
knows his trade. He has been dealing with
the same class Of cases and the same con-
questions that will come before
him as an associate justice Of the supreme

There is much to be said in favor of Sc
Letting supreme court justices from the

Judge Lurton's appointment has the addi-
tional merit of having been influenced by

courage and ability we're established
before Roosevelt had him made colonel

tested his ability as a fighter and as a

His subsequent rise was rapid, from
colonel to brigadier general of volun-

and later civil governor Of Santiago,
then military governor Of Cuba. After
his appointment as brigadier genera
in the regular army, his activities were
transferred to Philippine affairs. OF
late he has commanded the Department

His remarkable rise, based on merit
recognized by progressive men of the
nation, is an incentive to American

THE SUGAR VERDICTs.
Move for the "HiEher Up" Checked,
but Not stopped.
New York Tribue.

e va ~
The government has won not a complete
but a substantial victory in the sugar
cases. Indeed. its present failure to convict
the chief defendant in the trials, while
securing verdlets OF guilty against the evil
dent instruments Of others in the weigh
ing frauds, may in the long run most surely
lead to successful prosecution higher up
1t is impossible for a moment to conceive
that these poor fellows who now await
sentence themselves invented or undirected
carried out the elaborate system by which
scales were manipulated and sugar
was regularly struggled for a long
period in, vast quantities. 1t was
not their sugar and they had no
motive for the crime except that pro-
vided for them by some superior. They
had nc means OF carrying out such a
conspiracy without elaborate safeguards
which they could not provide for them
selves. II is evident that they were
mere puppets. The government is
rightly intent on getting at the princl-
pals and not stopping with the agents. SO
FAR these agents lave appeared content to
cast their lot with those whom they served.
The position In which they now find them
selves, however, is likely to give them
pause. The directors of the fraud nave not
been able to. secure them immunity. They
find themselves. whether or not by any in
tent OF their masters, 80 far the sole sac
rifice to the majesty OF the law. They
must look to the government for such
mercy as they are to receive, and. as was
limited to them the other day by the pre-
siding judge, their hopes for light SEN
fences depend on their readiness to aban-
don the policy Of shielding their principles.
Under such circumstances important
revelations may come at any moment. AL
ready signs OF confessions are 10 be seen.

employees. His task was to demonstrate
that such law is essential to health
morals and general welfare. To supper
this proposition there is adduced an array
OF medical testimony to prove that Their
is a definite toxin Of fatigue, analogous in
chemical and physical nature to other bac-
terial p~oisons; that its Injection into ami
mails in sufficient quantity will causa
death. and that normal fatigue is coun-
teracted by the presence In the human
body Of a natural anti-toxin, which is not
produced fast enough to counterfeit the
poison Of abnormal fatigue. Upon this
basis is demonstrated the special liability
of women to nervous and muscular fatigue
by excessively long hours Of labor. Hence
is proved scientifically the necessity OF rest
in the interest of life.
This is going much further than to prove
that the regulation 81 hours of labor for
women produces moral, social and physical
benefits. That is a proposition Of i'm
portance to the health of the living as
we'll as of future generations. But this
demonstration would seem to establish the
duty as we'll as the right OF the state, as
the guardian of life, to restrict the liberty
Of the Individual. This is an accomplish
ment of reasoning of wide Importance,
since in twenty-five states there are now
laws specifically limiting the hours of en-

when RAINING Goes to Egypt.

The forty centuries that looked down
from Egypt's pyramids on Napoleon's
army of invasion saw a wondrous sight,
but nothing to compare with that
which is promised the forty-one cen
turtles that will look down from the

Hoteb and Ptah. Full ~panoplied in
all the gorgeous splendor of his dress
parade glory, Colonel Tanning proposes
TO mount to the>highest pinnacle OF the
Hottest pyramid and thereon plant the
gonfalon of Dahlman Democracy tri-
umphant. This will be either the be-
ginning or the closing of another epoch
for Egypt. In the days of old Rameses
we can picture Colonel Tanning being
received at the gates of Thebes or
Memphis by the mighty monarch's
most valiant and noble warriors. Not
n of the shepherd kings but would
have stripped himself for the purpose
Of doing honor to this ambassador
from the dual courts Of Ashton 1 and

ingly on the thought of Cleopatra, her
sensuous beauty unadorned amid the
luxury of her splendid barge, all gilt
and ivory, lying in wait near the
Pharos of Alexandria, that she might
greet the distinguished guest from far
away Nebraska. And so on through
all the ages one may c%onjure up with
little stretch Of the imagination the
welcome that would have been ex-
tended to Colonel Tanning by any of
that long line of rulers who brought
Egypt down from the darkness that
preceded civilizations dawn through
all its lost magniicence to the present
day. But, alas! The only king of
Egypt Colonel Tanning ever met was

Railroad Threats of Boosting Freight

Pittsburg Despatch.

Hatea.
Pittsburg Despatch.
The talk in certain railroad quarters of
the necessity of an advance in freight
rates Is doubtless mainly inspired by the
wish to prejudice demands. for increases of
railroad wages. Yet in some degree it re-
peats the attitude during the depression
which took the form of a dogma that the
specific for insufficient business is to in
crease the charges Z to the patrons who
have been forced toacuts down their patron
age. -t IIsrsYlrr
The question toftuUages is entirely be-
tween the railroads and their employees. 1t
is to be decided byothen IN it's own merits,
and indeed has already been so decided in
some instances. But even supposing that
the railroads are compelled to pay a con-
siderable additional sum in wages, what
is their best hope sof doing so? 1t is by
rates that will allow their traffic to in
crease or by higher rates that will neces-
sarily cut off a portion Of the traffic2
The fact is that as the railroads during
the depression suffered less In loss of
gross and net earnings than the average
of business they nave during the revival
reaped among the largest gains. They
AVE done so from two sources. One is the
immense and almost universal expansion
Of traffic that has converted their pre-
vious returns of idle cars into sporadic In
stances Of car shortage. The other is the
decrease If not abolition OF rebates and
free passes, which. If they are anything
like as universal as railroad authority pro-
fesses, amount to a very large increase of
railroad income.
That these things a contributed i'm
mensely to corporate prosperity is indi-
Gated by the signal examples Of enlarged
dividends and net r ainss. The Penn
s~ylvania railroad, the New York Central,
the -Lackawanna, the Jersey Central, the
Southern and Union Pacific, the Adams
and Wells-Fargo Express companies fur
nish signal examples Of such increased
returns to stockholders. Under these cir
cumstances the reversion of talk Of in
creased rates is a species of foolishness
to which, 1t is observed, the most broad
minded railroad men do not resort.
