Third Parties Do Good.

All these new parties make for good
in the end. They SOW the seed, and
these terminate and grow, but others
reap the harvest. The spirit of Pop
ulsm was carried forward by Bryan
and Roosevelt, and now the progress
sives are bearing it along. So even If
the Peoples party died its labor was
not wholly in vain. The Prohibition
lists never elected a president or any
other official to speak Of, yet county

Reason For Joy.
Well, one can hardly blame the CON-
rades for their joy. They have been
working for long years now, and this
glimmer of hope must be as balm in
Gilead. When year after year the
small vote would come in they would
bravely pat each other on the backs
and say, 1--WE do not want to grow
too fast; we are trying to make Social
lists, not victories; we prefer it this
way since it assures us that every one
is a thorough convert before he joins
u.s." etc. 1t was cheerful way to
look ut it, almost pathetically cheer
full, since it was quite apparent that
they were not growing too fast. No
danger in that direction, at any rate.
But this is all changed now. The tide
Is their way, their ships are coming in,
and the millennfal dawn is fairly
blushing in the east.
Well, here is hoping that they do not
awaken too soon. 1t is pleasant

Land Prices Above Averages,

Land PrlceS ABOVE HteraSSs,-
Priced at even only half a cent ton
In the ground, the best Alaska coal
lands are worth from $50 to $500 an
acre, values far above the average
price Of bituminous coal lands in the
United States. -.
The market for the coal of Alaska
will be- found within the territory itself
and in the Pacific states. The present
market for coal In Alaska cannot sup
port the large mining operations re-
quired for commercial success. The
Pacific states are now supplied by the
coal fields Of California and Oregon
and in minor part by the fields of the
Rocky mountain region and those Of
British Columbia and Australia. Some
Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal
is also shipped to the Pacific coast.
Alaska's coal must compete with these,
and especially with fuel oil from Cali
fornia.
The completion Of the Panama canal
may enable eastern operators to de-
liver high grade coal on the Pacific
coast at prices about the same as
those that can be offered by operators
in Alaska. Other competing fields will
be those Of Vancouver island and New
South Wales.
More railways are essential toAthe
development and success of coal min
ing in Alaska At present the vast ter
ritory has only about $40 miles OF rail
way, distributed among nine different
systems.
The present industrial advancement
Of Alaska is small compared with that
which will take place when railways to
tidewater are constructed. AS 1t Is the
coal which will furnish the export
tonnage necessary to support railways
built for opening the coal fields. 1t Is OF
first Importance to the valuable terri
tory.

rather far cry from squeezing In one
congressman from Milwaukee to elect

There have been many third parties
in the land, from the days of the old
Knownothings and Free Sellers down
to the Greenbackers, Prohibitionists

same glad song. Only little longer,
brethren, for the light is breaking and
the truth will prevail! Well. In the
end the truth did prevail after fash
ion, but not through their parties. The
Greenbackers elected many congress
men and governors Of states, yet the"

ulists in little more than two years
jumped up to a strength Of nearly
100000 votes, had twenty-five or thir-
ty congressman, six or eight senators
and more than that number Of COVER
nors. Yet they likewise took the long
trail. Exactly so, retort the Social
lists, but the Greenbackers and Popu-

have resolved never to fuse. Well,

may not. The Prohibitionists never

L.esume of Socialist IDEAS
It is impossible to put the Socialist
demands into brief compass and do
them Justice In word. they call for
the collective ownership of the means
of production and distribution. Gov
eminent ownership and municipal
ownership are not genuine Socialist
doctrines, yet are advocated by some
members of the party. as stepping
stones to something beyond. Capital
is regarded as the surplus product OF
labor and. since it becomes in turn
tool of further production. should not
be left in private hands. Since labor
produces all wealth the wOrkers-and
by this is meant all wage earners-
should stand together for their own
class. In other words. they should be
class conscious.

he had gone all over the homestead
tracts and had interviewed all the
homesteaders who were still on the
land. 1t was also his intention to have
an interview with Manager Ross of
the Hakalau plantation. Whether the
Kaunamano or the Hakalau homestead
matters would finally find their way
into the courts, he could not say. His
intention at present was merely to
gather data.
Mr.. Smith has found that about
four-ffths of the settlers had already
left their holdings. In every case
where the settlers had left the cultiva-
ton of the house lots had ceased, and
many of the trees which had to be
planted according to law were now be-
ing choked out ~ weeds, indicating
that the tree-planting phase of the
agreements had in such cases been a
failure. The houses were in nearly all
cases small, apparently in most cases
no larger than was absolutely neces
sary to provide a shelter during the
years in which residence was compul
sorry. On the other hand, there was
nothing in the law to compel settlers
to build larger houses, and the fact
that the settlers had moved away
might or might not have legal bearing
on the matter. On the whole, said Mr.
Smith, it might well be said that there
were two sides to the question, anC
