In the present unfortunate condition of affairs fin China 1t is interesting to know the manner in which the presi- dent of that country acted. The far Eastern bureau of New York has is- sued some remarkable facts which throw bright lights on that country and It's affairs and seem to show. that the president who Is now lighting the revolution is really progressive leader.
 When the President of the United States wishes to appeal to e." people he calls in the newspaper men 6nd they do the rest President Yuan Shih Kai does the same-and morc-he calmly sends a statement to the press of the United States and Europe and supple ments that with Q confidential and straightforward letter to several hun dred influential citizens of his own country in all parts of the land. In recent confidential letter. written In many instances to personal enemies and to luke warm supporters of the republic, he takes up many delicate points and handles them with great daring. Even the thorny question ol

finance and foreign loanS does not frighten him, and In dealing with it he hns outlined to his reactionary bretheru . program which shows that he Is master builder.
 Yuan then goes on to say that the
 moneys derived from foreign loans will
 be used for the payment of back debts.
 foreign and domestic. and for the fol-
 lowing additional purposes: to build
 and equip modern schools. colleges and
 military academies for railways and
 roads in at least twelve states; for the
 scientific and accurate survey of
 more than 1s5. 900 acres of public
 land; to move thousands of poor people
 from overcrowded centers to fertile
 but unoccupled sections; to dredge
 rivers and harbors; to open coal and
 iron mines; work salt lakes and cut
 valuable hardwood: to build asylums. hospitals and schools In sixty four cities; to drain and reclaim 100000 acres public land in eight states; to build adequate and modern govern ment buildings at Pekin.
 Then follows this straight tip to each recipient of the letter: Have you, as e worthy and patriotic citizen. any objection to ofYer to one or more of these items of intended expense? If you have will you graciously com- municate your reason for so having?" It is safe to predict that there will be no objections.
 Even since Yuan shih Kai was call- ed to the presidency of the new Chin- ese republic many tongues at home and abroad have wagged doleful tale of the viper that the guileless republi- cans had taken to their bosom. of the coming empire and It's Emperor Yuan l. Perhaps he could be king. Ger tainly. he has all the money and all the troops of the country in his hands. Yet we see him making personal ap- peais to his enemies. giving reasuring at midnight and holding cabinet meetings at half past one in the morning. directing absolute safety Tor foreigners and patiently working at plans that will put China in the first rank of the nations of the world.
 All this may be plotting for a king dom, but to the world at large 1t looks like the building of a republican edifice from the ground up. Yuan Shin Kai has become one of the worlds great figures.

Official Paper
NOME, ALAekA, JULY 2s. 1918.

The licenses levied by the first Alaska legislature and which are pub lished in this issue deserves study as the people must begin to pay the licenses next week. The fish indus try seems to have been taxed pretty we'll and Ut present this fact will not cause us much worry.
 It is seen that itinerant and tram sient merchants are taxed $z00 psr annum and the only objection to this would be that the municipalities would seem to have the first right to such revenue but the bill may have the ef- feet of curtaiiing that sort of business and that would be blessing.
 Some of the licenses are placed on ind, stries which are 50 few that It Is hard to see that they will add much to the territory's revenue. Our friends the scavengers. for instance. are sup posed to pay S25 per annum but they are so few and far between that little will come from them. But on the other hand, their votes are also few. so. hang the scavengsrs.
 Public messengers are in the same class-that Is politically and numeri- caliy. so why should anyone bother about them?
 White men owning reindeer must pay a license of 26 cents per head on each animal and that ought to bring the territory a revenue of something like seventeen or seventeen and a half dollars per snnum. more or less.
 Lodging places must pay $lo per annum so We may hope to see all such forward unless hotels are included forward unless hotel are included without being specifically named.
 It would seem to be that the real revenue of the territory will come from the fisheries and from the tax on freight. All freight entering or ieav- ing the territory Is taxed at the rate of 10 cents per ton.

What shall .one say when the regis tered pilot of the ship of state refuses to face anything but fine weather and a smooth sea?
 MT. Bryan Is not willing to super intend the foreign relations of the
 United States if there is going to be
 any serious trouble about them He
 says: T made up my mind before | accepted the office of Secretary of State that I would not take the office if I thought there was to be a war during my tenure"
 Now that Mir. Bryan's mind is thoroughly made up about 1t. he says he feels sure there will be no storm while his discriminating hand is on the helm.
 These assurances may reveal a ten- der heart in Mir. Bryan. But they ex- pose the incompetence of his political thought. The implication is that wars are simply sinful and that they occur only when unjust or unamiable men are put by unhappy accident into places of power.
 Mir. Bryan has lived and prospered SO we'll by the mere facility of hls tongue that he seems to have lost all sense of those real and passionate con- tradictions of human interest and hon. or that spring out of settled rights and moral convictions and that cannot be disposed of by any form of words.
 Imagine. for example. what could happen if Mir. Bryan's free and un- limited coinage of fine words were to be applied to such an issue as that raised by the suggestion that the ma tional honor." of Japan requires the admission to American citizenship of hordes of Orientals on equal terms with Germans or Frenchmen.
 Imagine. if you can. the meek sub mission of the American people to judgment of Hague lawyers that thia country ought to consent to be orien- taIixed within the next twenty years'

EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS
SPENT FOR RECLAMATION

in the man who is actually tilling
the soil and not in the speculator
who is trying to get the unearned
increment of the value of the
land, due to the fact that the
government has made a great in
vestment in irrigation works.
This is not as easy as it seems,
as each man who has obtained a
piece of land to which water has
been brought by the government
is tempted to sell it to some new
conner, and thus realize the profit
on the land without the labor of
cultivating crops. Thus land
prices BECOME enormously inflat-
ed, and one of the problems con-
fronting the reclamation service,
as we'll as owners of private sys-
TENS, is that of getting real
farmers to cultivate the soil. To
do this these farmers must be at
tracted by cheap land and the op-
portunlties Of making a profit
themselves rather than to enrich
the original entryman or owner. +"
