The long valiant fight made by Delegate James Wickersham for ae- ton on the Alaska Territorial gov ernment bin is to end in victory at this session. After getting his measure through the House, Mir. wickersham laeored with members of the Senate Committee on Ter ritories until they agreed in favor of disposing of it at this session. Senator Jones of Washington has proven worthy ally.
 At the time an agreement was reached for a vote on the tariff bills, Senator Jones forced virtual agreement that the Alaska bin should be disposed of before the session closed. He did this by threatening to raise an objection to the unanimous consent agreement over the vote on the tariff meas ures. This forced Senator Warren, whose power as chairman Of the Appropriations Committee Is per haps greater than that Of any other member or the Senate, to agree to join with Senator Jones in securing early action on the Alaska bill. Senator Smith, Chairman of the Territories Committee having thf Alaska bin in charge, also promis- ed to bring it up before adjourn ment.
 The agreement was practically signed and sealed when Senator Jones closed discussion by saving:
 "I know that Senator smith is very anxious to have the Alaska government biu considered, and he is using every effort to that end. I am going to insist, so far as I am concerned. that the Senate take ac- ton upon it"

New York. Feb. g.--Thc situation Is
stu one that calls for conservation IN
business operations Neither az home
nor abroad Is there any abatement OF
the social and political unrest which
~ at the bottom OF present business
inertia This unrest. AZ everyone
KNOWS, has been seriously aggravated
by the continued high cost OF living.
Food prices have risen stili higher
during the last few weeks, both at
none and abroad, owing to partial
crop failures arising from che extreme
heat and erouth Of last summer.
Prices OF nearly all OF the necessities
OF life are high. since In few Instances
is there anything like an adequate
supply TO meet the requirements OF IN
creased population. In few cases
commodities have declined markedly,
particularly cotton and steel whore
supply greatly exceeded demand. We
now hear less ana less about the In
crease OF gold az a factor Ia high
prices and In this connection II ~
worth while noting that the world
production IN 1910 amounted to &fbi,-
7OC, 600, compared with &i54,lOO,OOo
Ia 1898, an Insignificant increase. SO
good a authority az Director Roberts
OF the mint thinks there Is no longer
any reason for uneaslncss over the
gold situation. he believes that no
further important increase OF supply is
IN sight. and that with "a growing pop
ulation and increased absorption or
gold IFS lnnhuonary effect has prob
ably reached high water mark. ~
this theory proves correct Il means
that producers, especially farmers
must Increase their product In order
that the relations between supply and
demand becomes more normal and we
shall thon have some relief in sight
from the resent high cost OF living,
which, AZ already said. has had so
much 10 DO with public dstemper
At home the political situation CON
tinues the chief deterrent TO renewed
activity. This disturbing Influence
must probably be endured until the
political horizon becomes more clear
some uneaeslncss has been shown az
the prospect of investigating the 500
called Money Trust" but this has
been lessened by hope that the investi-
