roads in Alaska A paper is being cir
oulated and signed in the Alaskan towns
for general distribution among the
Washington voters, explaining how
Alaska suffers, and Washington as well,
on account of the lack of practical in
formation about Alaska on the part of
the Washington Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes, to whom other members of
Congress naturally look for leadership
in Alaskan matters
A specific invitation is given to a
Seattle man to enter the Republican pri-
maries as a candidate for Congress-
man-at-large on the one issue of
government-owned system of Alas
kan railroads, in harmony with the
Fisher programme. Alaska is to be
credited with an original idea which
should be winner. Her interests are
so interviewer with those of the State
of Washington that she has a right to
ask that Senator or Representative
from the latter Commonwealth shall by
implication be hers also.

Assessments for Benefits.

We cannot believe that the Distric
Commissioners expect one of their sug
gestions in regard to street railway ex-
tensions to be enacted into law. They
propose that when these extensions arC
made, the property owners along tht
route shall be assessed part of the cosI
as benefits
If the street railroads were owned BY
the municipality, so that the community
shared both in the cost and the profits
this proposition would not only be feast.
bic, but just. There is no suggestion
however. of municipal ownership. ant
there would be a bitter legal contest
before any property owner would con-
tribute a single penny to the develop,
ment of a private enterprise in which he
held no stock and in the success ot
which he could not participate 1t is
indeed, a serious question whether such
4 proposition as now emanates from the
Commissioners would stand the test oi
oonstitutionality.
The principle involved could easily
be reduced to an absurdity. If property
owners are to bear the cost of street
railroad extensions, they might also be
assessed for benefits when gas mains are
projected into suburban districts, or
when outlying communities are afforded
additional telephone facilities. The Com
mIssioners are, as a matter of fact. car
rying the idea OF assessments for bene-
fits to an extreme. They are obsessed
with the idea that the cost of public i'm
provements should be borne almost il
not quite entirely by the individual prop
erty owners in the immediate locality
affected We submit that this is not the
broad view which should obtain. Ii
is practically universal rule that what
is done for the good of one is also done
for the good Of all Departure from the
observance of this rule is certain to
create sectional jealousies and dissat-
isfaction. 1t would retard the develop
ment of those localities in which wealth
and population do not already obtain. 1t
would constantly supply already favored
sections with additional advantages,
while other portions of the District
would be kept in their present state.
: We repeat that we do not believe
there is the slightest possibility that
Congress will compel property owners
to pay for street car extensions. At the
same time, there is in the suggestion an
indication of tendency on the part of
the Commissioners to adopt a policy
which may easily be more injurious than
beneficial

Lady Warwick's Abandoned Tour.

Lady Warwick has not found the
United States a fertile field for her So
cialism. She came-for two weeks-but
she did not conquer; she failed to pos
sess the magic of sensation, and last
week she sailed back to her own native
shores, a saddcr, but unquestionably a
wiser, woman.
The English noblewoman found that
the crowds whose keynote is vulgar Gu
rloSity, which congregate on the streets
merely to gaze upon highly press-agent-
ed scions of European nobility. are not
exactly the folks who buy tickets to
sociallstic lectures. She might, in an
earlier day, have won Success of Gu
rioslty;" she does not do even that now,
because she fails to interest the serious
thinking American public, whose sup
port cannot be won by dilettanti or
drswing-room theorists.
Lady Warwick mapped out long and
prosperous tour for herself in the Unit
ed States. That she failed so promptly
and decisively is one more sign that the
day of Barnumism in this country is
past.
