Here And There In
 The North
T Future of the North

Now that the United States gov ernment has become apprized of the fact that the greater part of the un- appropriated lands of the republic has been taken up by settlers, they will perhaps exercise a little great CT care in opening up land to entry. At the rate which has prevailed in the past, all of the fertile land would be appropriated within twen- ty-fve years. Even of the acerage still remaining, large proportion of it is situated on mountain tops and other inaccessible places.
 It is rather gratifying to Alas 'kans to know that one-half of the available land left in the United States is situated in the territory where they have made their homes, that a large amount of it is covered with timber, which after numbering can be converted into good agricul- tural land. The statement was made on the floor of the House of Representatives that the valleys of the big rivers in Alaska are capa- ble of supporting a population of 500, 900 people engaged in agricul- tural pursuits. This may have been an exageration, but those who have penetrated the wilderness know that in some places wild grasses and native fruits and ber- ries grow in almost unbelievable profusion. It is natural to sup pose that where wild plants will thrive, hardy cultivated varieties will do as we'll, il not better. Just at the present time almost every body in Alaska is engaged in searching for mineral, but perhaps the day will come when they will turn their attention from mining tc farming. -EX.

THE POWER OF oRAToRY IN THE
LIMITED STATES SENATE.

IL would be very remarkable cir
cumstance, indeed, if Senators Call
niger and Smith should vote against
MIR. Aldrich's cotton schedule as a re
suit of Mr. LaFollette's illuminatiye
speech Oratory is rare, and rarer
still is the kind that makes converts
on the spot. We don't subscribe to
the stupid notion that speeehmakmg
in the senate is so much time wasted.
The most powerful are not the most
palpable forces. nor those most easily
measured, nor the forces whose eff
fects are most immediate.
Yet, though we put this high ap-
praisement on speechmaking, it is not
any speech to be supposed that ospe-
cially so bourbonistic standpatter as
Senator Gallinger will be made re
morseful by any speech that any man
can make Dripping water may have
power to destroy the pyramids, but it
can not move them The power OF
Senator LaFollettes speech viii be OF
similar kind 1t will not move Sena-
tor Gallinger, but 1t is conceivable
that 1t may ultimately destroy him
politically.
1t is apropos to say that the only
notable speeches made in behalf of
the overburdened consumer during the
present consideration of the tariff
have been the deliverances of repub-
licans. one by Senator Dolliver of
Iowa and the other by Senator LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin Senator Cummins.
also of Iowa, and Senator Bristow of
Kansas distinguished themselves some
what. and in the same manner as Sen
ator Dolliver and Senator LaFollette
have, but not in the same degree. The
chief merit of the Dolliver and LaFol-
lette speeches is that they have treat
ed the subject in concrete way. They
have eschewed academic reasoning
and sophomore outcry and concerned
themselves with schedules They have
dealt in facts and figures. rather than
in theories The quality has made
their speeches pertinent; for, as IL.
had already been decreed with the
assistance of democratic senators, that
the philosophy OF protection was to
govern the making of the bill. about
the only task left to those who felt
any real concern for the tariffs vic
Tins was to endeayor to keep the
rates down to the lowest possible
notch This Senators Dolliyer and
LaFollette have done They have not
combated the protective principle, but
have sought to prevent an abuse of it.
and in doing that they have discom
fitted Mr. Aldrieh more than have all
the other senators combined-DallasI

PRESIDENT WILL
NOT VETO BILL
After Consultation With Taft Senator
Aldrich Says There is No Fear
of Veto.

Washington, ID. c., June 9.-The sen
ate and the house leaders directing
the course of the tariff bill through
congress and who will be members OF
the conference on the bill after it has
passed the senate, took measures yes.
terday to ascertain whether there was
any foundation for the report that
Taft would veto the bill.
They have reached the conclusion
that there is no basis whatever for
the reports.
Cannon. Aldrich and Payne indi-
vidually have been to the White
House several times, in the last few
days. They say that if the president
is dissatisfied with the course the
bill is taking through congress, he
has concealed his concern success
fully.
This evening the president told one
of the republican leaders that no one
nau authority to suggest he had in
mind a veto Of the tariff measure.
Aldrich yesterday talked with the
president for some time. When he re-
turned to the capitol. he told his col
leagues that the president did not
appear perturbed about the tariff sit
uation. and had expressed implicit
confidence in the members of the fin
ance committee.

THE CORPORATION NEWSPAPER.

William j. Bryan IN his lecture,
"The Price of Soul" at Kansas City.
Monday night had the following to say
Of the interest controlled press. which
is indeed pertinent:
The corporation has entered the
field of journalism until now the CON
scienceless corporation-owned news
paper instead of molding public senti-
ment in regard to right and wrong
merely sees that the blind public
hears all good and nothing bad about
the gasping company which backs the
sheet You cannot tell who the stock
holders are. These papers usually
are anonomous or of unacknowledged
ownership. They are owned by rail-
roads and franchise holding corpora
tions
THE corporation pays the editors
to chloroform the public while it in
its greed picks the public pocket You
cannot tell when you read an editorial
how much it cost to put it there for
reading. It's the same way in the
news columns. The paper is paid to
distort the news even. Editors on
such newspapers have told me of be.
ing compelled to write editorials they
did not believe in. May the time come
when the soul question will enter the
newspaper business and when an ed
itor will refuse to write a lie no mat
ter from whom il comes"
