MLD General Sherwood, VH of Ohio, indicates that


 he is becoming petulant over the cries of economy raised against his pension bill, and Ill all interview this week he spoke his mind upon some policies of the political leaders. He asks: "Did we not recently run in debt to ths tune of $50, 900, GOO in Panama bonds, and did any of the journals of prUfesslng economy issue a whimper or enter a protest a. gainst this $5o,ooo,ooo addi- tional debt? Has 1t come to this, that we can run millions of money into debt on a doubt ful experiment in Panama without a whimper from cold blooded commercialism, while the same element is in nerv- ous panic and agony when it is proposed to devote a few millions of our surplus reve- nues to make comfortable in their last days OH earth the men who made the Panama Canal a possibility" General Sherwood says, that the pen sion bill as 1t passed the House, will, if enacted, cost the Trea- sury some s43,ooo,ooo-

The member of the committee asked him which of the score of bills he favored and men toned the provisions of seve- ral. The inquirer admitted that he knew nothing of the provisions of any. of them; of the long hauls of the United States compared with the short hauls of Europe; that 1t had been estimated that such sys- tenn was likely to result in a deficit of $15o,ooo,ooo yearly; or that half of the farmers of the country were not receiving rural free delivery.

u0%IRST of all, let me
 N say this: It's largely

J
 the local dealers own fault if any trade goes from him to the mail order house. How do l reason to arrive at such a conclusion? Is this wise. Either he is wrong in the mat ter of his prices, making them too high, or If he is fair in that respect then he is derelict in not being thorough enough ill his measures to convince the public ot that fact.
 And right here let me say that 1t takes more than gene ralities ta carry conviction to the public i'll this. The mail order houses don't depend on the bpad claim that they are selling cheaper. Whether they are actually cheaper or not they give definite prices on par ticular articles. It is this, most ly, that has impressed the public.
 ''So my advice to the aver age retailer might be summed upas follows:
 Make it a cardinal principle of your business to c.on6ne yourself at all times to fair prohts..N matter how tempt ing circumstances may be, hold to this point. Maybe it's an altruism, but in business as in everything else, only that which is right will survive. Any method, such as exorbi- tant profits, that dues not take the interests ofthe public into due consideration will inevitab- ly react OH the party employ  ing it in the long run.
 "But, it is one thing to be fair in the matter of profits and another to convince your public of that fact. This is a case where a man has an ina lienable right to blow his own horn, as the expression runs. Certainly he owes 1t to his own business and himself to do so. He can not very well overdo this feature as long as he uses proper degree of dig nifty about 1t.

ANYTHING FOR DELAY.

Governor Walter F.. Clark's
 suggestion that congress should not adopt territorial bill for Alaska until a joint committee of congress visit Alaska, will un- dOubtedly be adopted by the sen ate majority as q subterfuge against giving home rule to this northern territory. The wants
 and necessities of the big inter- csts demand this and the Rcpub- lican party does not propose to run counter tO the claims of those who furnish il with it's immense slush fund. Alaskans have no vote, while Inc Guggcnhcims, MorRans ct al have plenty money lo place where il will do Inc most good and bring in the greatest returns. Hence we have a right io conclude our hopes of self rule will be deferred until congress Sional committee visits Alaska and reports what is best for us. How long arc we to he governed by visiting statesmen2 When are we to be accorded treatment giv- en other frontier countries? We
Valdez daily prospector., 1912-04-29

have had committees of congress visit us before--cabinet officers as we'll. Their visits have dcm- OnStrated that no good at all comes from these excursions ut public expense. What can a body of men unused to the experiences of Alaskans accomplish in a few weeks gadding on our outskirts during the summer months? |? These committees are no more qualified tO legislate for Alaska than for Patagonia. Such com millec as has been so arduUuSly urged by Governor Clark, in the interest of the large curpOra- tions, will only afford the people of Alaska another opportunity to impress upon it's members their desire to govern themselves, and this will not be news to either the committee or the politicians in Washington, hence we are forced to conclude that a cOngression- al committee will be sent to Alas ka for the purpose of side-step- ping the main issue until after election, when the canneries, rail roads and other big interests will resume their undisputed sway Ov- CT this much imposed upon land.

UNPOPULAR ADMINISTRATION.

It cannot be denied the admin istratiOn of President Taft is de- servedly unpopular in Alaska. This unpopularity it not political in it's nature, but is based almost wholly upon the apparent antag- onism of the government to the people who arc building up this vast domain. The president ap- pears to be distrustful of Alas kans in general and to lean upon the politicians and interests for his inspiration in matters per- taining to the welfare of the ter ritory. The administration is re- pletc With crimes of omission and commission. Not a single act of his has redounded 10 the ben eft of Alaska during the three years of office. He has insisted and still urges commission form of government. He has fail ed to take one single step to an null the infamous executive or dcrS of his predecessor, who ihrottled all enterprise in Alaska. He has complained of Rooscvelts disregard of law, and yet has per- mitted of congressional acts be- ing disregardcd and nullilied dur ing the three years he has been in Of'ice..
 Mr.. Taft and his administra- tiOn have been endorsed by the Republican convention, but this endorsement carries with it. lit- tie else than the stain of the worst form of political robbery. To boil it down tO it's essence, Mr. Taft has been endorsed by Shack Irford, national committeeman: Clark, governor; Hnggatt, ex- governor, and. the federal office holders. It is not departing from the absolute truth in declaring that an overwhelming majority of Alaskans are hoping that they are enduring the last year of Taft's administration. Anyone but Theodore Roosevelt would be preferable 10 Taft

THE NEW ORDER.


 actionary press and public speak CTS, notably the president, against the demand of the peo- pie to control their own officials and to compel the enactment of such Legislation as they may de- sire. There is really no occasion for the frenZied denunciatiOns portrayed by the publicisls and speakers. We feel certain the people can be trusted in matters of government. They will make mistakes and they will rectify their errors. They never will be quite as bad as the Stephensons, the Lorimers, the Guggenheims, Aldrichs and their ilk. There is no occasion for alarm over the iniative, referendum or recall.
 The American people have genius for Self-gOvernment, love of fair play and self-cOntrol. After all it has been the people who have finally decided all great questions affecting the veal or woe of this nation. The iniatirc and referendum are merely in struments by which the people wish to make their wishes more directly and more cXpcditiously felt. Oregon, by the use of these political methods, has not suffer- ed, but on the contrary has gone ahead by leaps and bounds. No one will claim the state is mis- governed, save it br the politic- ians who have lost their vOca- ton. The rccall--0f the judic- iary if you will, will create no revolution save in the character of the men who fill the bench. We do not believe any judge will be recalled by reason of de- cision rendered, but he may be recalled for placing himself in the attitude of defender of certain in- icreSts.
 When judge or body of judges lose their standing with the pe0-
 
 the law, there is most general Iy the best of reasons for the public mistruSt. as has been so well evidenced in the cases of the supreme courts of Washington and California, An honest judge need have nO more fear of the people than he rntrrlaincd for his father and mother during the days of his minority when the "recalr' hung over him.
 The fact iS the people have come tO the conclusion that the affairs of government have slip ped from their hand. That We have SO far departed from the teachings of Thos. Jefferson that they have determined tO extend the active list of governmental work SO as io include all citizens. the majority of whom shall rule. This new order of things will simply mean "a condition re- uuirinG wider publicity in public matters" It. will do away with the "nliddlcnlan and his profit" as they say in commercial life. Those rractinnarirS of the Taft stripe, in attempting to stem the tide of an awakening public Scn- iImcnI are as futile as Mohanl- cts attempt to have the moun- lain come io him. We believe ihis country needs at this time more of ''thr rule of the people" and less crntraliZatiOn in Wash ingiOn of bureaus and agents not responsible io those who pri- marily are the cause of their be- ing there.
