societies, operating the Home and For

ringtOn. of El PasO, who was re-
ported i'll, the foreign society was con-
vened by Mrs. Ayers, and Mrs Swear

Ceived from the sister society, and

Russia's Sugar surplus.

The fact that the center OF the
sugar power dwells in Europe in
stead of the United States may offer
no comfort to consumers compelled
to meet the steadily rising price OF
that staple, but It is a matter OF
much interest 70 hear that European
conditions now hold out promise OF
lower prices.
Shortage of the raw material in
most sugar growing countries has
added to the odds against the con-
sumer, for it has been easier for
the dealers to keep prices up with
that in their favor than II would
otherwise have been. Yet there Is
one place. namely Russia. where the
sugar crop has not been short. but
unusually abundant. But the Euro
pean combination, known as the In
ternational Sugar Conference with
headquarters at Brussels. has held

Alaska's Chief Need.

Secretary of the Interior Fisher
says that what Alaska needs more
than all else is a trunk railroad line
from the ocean to the great interior
valleys OF the Yukon and the Tan
ana, opening ZIP the country so that
its future development may really be
possible" This must come ahead OF
the coal mine development and the
governments urgent duty is to see
that the railroads and coal interests
do not fall into identical private
ownership. for, as the secretary
points out, that would be only TO in
vite a repetition, OF such combina-
lions in older sections of the United
States.
Secretary Fisher--and President
Taft before him--says that Alaska
is entitled to territorial govern
ment better adapted to It's peculiar
local conditions and needs. There
are now $1,000 people in the penin-
sula, about half OF whom are white
and they are an energetic, peaceful
set. They are there to promote the
welfare and interests of the United
States, Alaska and themselves. They
should have from the home govern
ment all the help II can give them
and IL would be a hindrance and not
a help to them and a perpetual bur
den to Alaska not to thwart selfish
exploitation at the very outset.
In the full text of his most recent
speech on Alaska, Secretary Fisher
reveals a mine OF information and
commits himself firmly to the propo-
sition that 'the existing coal-land
laws applicable to Alaska neither
promote development nor protect the
public and all its coal fields are with
drawn from entry" Surely this state
of affairs will force itself so strongly
on congress that II will enact laws
TO fit the present and the future.
President Taft long ago declared II
to be his intention to bring this mat
ter before congress in December and
that is why he sent his secretary OF
the interior into the great northwest
territory, that he might be fully
armed with firsthand information
and Secretary Fishers own observa-
tions and conclusions, experimenting
his own as a basis of action, or one
thing we may be certain, the day of
wilful neglect of Alaska is over.

Aldrioh Answers Bryan.

The speech made by Governor
Aldrich in answer 20 Mr. Bryan's
appeals to insurgent republicans to
vote the democratic ticket, in our
judgment covers the ground in a
most admirable way. The governor
shows plainly that no republican. in
surgent or regular, has anything TO
gain in the cause Of progress and
good government by putting the
democrats in power in Nebraska and
clinches the argument by comparing
the record OF achievement OF demo-
Gratis and republicans in both state
and national arenas. The democratic
party has always been the party Of
bourbonism and stagnation, while
every step forward worth while has
been accomplished by republicans.
Governor Aldrich demonstrates that
there Is more true progressiveness,
and more true progresslves, in the
republican party than in the demo-
cratic party, and suggests that II Mr..
Bryan is sincere instead OF inviting
republicans to Join in electing demo-
Gratis, he should join the republicans
and enlist under the only true ban
ner OF progress.
This is also the answer to Bryan
worshippers like Edgar Howard who

appeals to republicans TO turn demo
crat. He proclaims that Bryan was
progressive in the days when It re-
quired courage" deliberately shut
ting his eyes to the conspicuous oc-
casion when Mr.. Bryan for lack OF
courage turned in for Judge Parker
against Theodore Roosevelt. II has
been Characteristic OF Mr.. Bryan to
preach reform and independence OF
party from the house-tops. and then
to embrace and champion every can
didate bearing the democratic label
no matter how reactlonary or dis
redited. True, for once last year he
bolted Mayor Jim" In revenge upon
the brewers, but swallowed others on
the same ticket intellectually less de.
serving. And right now in going
around the state Mr.. Bryan is taking

hibits the nominees on the demo.
cratic state ticket, brewery-scented
and corporation-ticketed, rather thar
break with his own party, which he
admits is dominated by the undo,
sirable and untrustworthy elements
Governor Aldrich hits the nail or
the head when he asks, why, indeed
should any republican in Nebraska
cross over to help strengthen the
democratic gang even though Mr.
Bryan be willing to take the risk?

NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.


Grand Island Free Press (dem.): Won't
someone please gag Mike Harrington?
He has made altogether too much noise
for good democrat.

no reason why he should be demo-
