INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
 ENDORSED BY ROOSEVELT

New York, Friday, Feb. i6.-- Thrudurc Roosevelt has an cdi- tOrial in the current issue of The Outlook on "A Phase of Industrial JuSiice.'
 After describing visit io a model factory and dwelling on certain phases of the relations between employer and cnpIoyc, Mr. Roosevelt says:
 "Thc president, in recent message, has recommended the creation by congress of com mission t0 look into industrial conditions in this country. It. is earnestly lo be hoped that Re- publicans and Democrats, wise prOgrcSSiveS and wise cOnServa- lives will back up this action. Such a commission could not but do good.
 "If properly made up, it would approach the matter of industrial relations without prejudice as between employers associations and labor unions. It would look at the matter from the point of view of the public interest, with concern to work for the prevcn- ton of unnecessary labor dis putes and for settling those that do arise on just and permanent basis.
 Surely there is now wide spread and deep public interest m this vital subject and in an ear- nest desire to know whether our existing mechanism for prevent ing and settling labor disputes, and fur helping the cause of so- cial justice as regards both en- ploycr and wage worker cannot b. improved.
 Undoubtedly the remedy in large part, must be found in the action of the several states, rath- CT than in the federal govern- ment, and undoubtedly it must al- so in large part be found in VOL untary arrangements between employer and employees and in q higher general recognition of the need of justice and fair dealing. But only an inquiry by the fed cral government can be really au- thoritative and satisfactory, and can really cover all the different sides of the matter and throw full light on all the puzzling, baf- fling, complicated and vitally i'm portant questions involved"

Alaska is being turned over to the theorists of the United States, as a preserve upon which to try out their theories.

TAFT FAvoRs TRUSTS.

President Taft's message To congress dispells all hope of eff fectivc regulation of trusts while he remains in office. As was ex- pectcd, he warmly cOmmcnds the supreme court for it's decision in the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases, and makes it plain that he will use all the power at his com mand to prevent any amendment nf the sherman antitrust law. True, he is not man of innexible resolution, but ihis lime he is certain tu stand pat. 'IIc has talk "n the whole dose put up by the supreme court and will do his best in hold it down. This is made evident by his declaration that "SuEErstrd remedies to replace the antitrust law have produced nothing hut glitlrring Ernrrali- ties and have offered no line of distinction OF rule of action as definite and as clear as that which 'h' ''l'i'i ''lili lSfll lay S down in enforcing the statute" '"
 Among the suggested remedies to which the president refers is a bill by Senator La Toilette mak- ing plain what constitutes unrca- S0nablc restraint of trade, insur- ing the punishment of offenders and providing a way to make them disgorge ill-g0tten gains. AnOth- CT bill by Congressman Henry, one of the leaders of the Democratic majority in inc lower house, de- lines specific OffenScs against the sherman law that makes impris- 0nment and felOn's stripes the punishment of individuals con- rictcd of violating it's provisions. If either of these bills passes both houses the president will prompt ly exercise the veto power. As there is no chance of such a veto being ovrrriddcn, nothing will be done, and the Sherman law will remain in ills present manglcd condition until new adminis- iration assumes control of the national govcrnment.--San Fran cisco Bulletin.

from the possibility of acquisi- ton by the prospectors and min CTS of Alaska. Title to our placer and hard rock mineral resources will remain vested in the govern ment of the United States, and no man will be able to get patent or title to any mineral ground he discovers and seeks to develop. This does not sound reasonable to us people of the north, but in quiries in Washington, D. C., in dicate to us that this is just what is coming to Alaska, and we can not see how Alaska can possibly escape the program which is be- fore congress today as to the fu- ture conduct of Alaska's affairs and resOurces.-Fairbanks News Miner.

GIVE VALDEZ a SHOW.

The point made in the message from the Valdez Chamber of Commerce to the Fairbanks mass meeting is well taken. It is suffi- cient for the people of the inter- for to endorse the plan of build ing government railway from tidewatcr on the south coast tO the Panama valley and the Yukon and let it go at that. IL does not concern us whether the coast terminus is Seward, Valdez OF Cordova. We are nat telling the government how it shall build the road, except only that it shall eX- tend as far as the navigable Wa ierS of the interior. It is most likely that Seward will be chosen as the coast terminus. Neverthe- less, il is only fair that Valdez he given a fair show to present her advantages, and get the coast terminus if she can. We should at least refrain from putting any thing in the way of Valdez in her efforts to win the prize. The plan of submitting all the evidence to a board of engineers is the fairest of all. It was with this very mo- live that the Times, in adopting it's slogan, refrainrd from men tioning the name of any coast port as the southern terminus of the railway. Fairbanks Times.

The INAUGURAL CEREMONIES.


To be sworn into Office on the 4th
Of March and defer the inaugural
ceremonies until the last Thursday in
April, meets the hearty approval OF
President-elect/ Wilson. This plan
would undoubtedly be conducive to
the physical welfare Of a great many
persons who expose themselves to the
traacherous March winds when an in
auguration is taking place. or recent
years the disposition has been in the
direction OF more elaborate spec
tacular display in connection with the
induction into Office OF President
Of the United States, and in connec
ton herewith the worst weather of
the entire year has usually been en-
countcrod People line the streets
and stand for hours to watch the
parade and the elaborate program Of
festivities that goes with it. The new
President is compelled to expose him
self bare headed in the open air dur
ing the delivery of his address. Many
are chilled TO the marrow and the
crop OF pneumonia victims is large.
In a country that has 50 much re
spect for simple democratic customs
there are many who believe the in
augural ceremonies are taking us far
out OF our true sphere The display
is approaching the magnitude OF roy
al ceremonies IN foreign lands, total

THIS SESSION.

This session OF Cougra does net
promise to be rccora u.agor. There
is but little bu iines5 uymaudlng at
tention, although NOR Iould be look
ed after than what will bee. Since The
Democrats will soon assume control
of the government, tine Republicans
seem determined to not make an at
tempt to enact any special legislation,
but rather let all matters go by de
fault and place as much responsible
ity as pos 3ibla on the new administra-
ton.
This being true The Democrats
should meet the issue squarely. They
should not dodge anything. They
should seize every opportunity and
prove to the people that they are wor
thy of the confidence reposed in them.
After the appropriation bills have
been passed. and the Archibald case
settled there Viii lac 10 need of pro-
longing the session, unless some ques-
lions of vital importance demand inn
mediate attention Such a thing is
not likely. because the minority party
in the house does not desire to go on
record for having accomplished any
thing good. Under such circumstan-
ce3 1t would be The part of wisdom
and prudence TO make the session as
short as possible and give all a rest
before the extra session is convened.

well that the value of farms is con

money to buy farm now than it did
ten or twenty years ago, and for that
reason more cultivators must hire,
and of those who buy a greater pro-
portion must borrow money.
'In twenty years the average mort
