FURTHER DECLINE IN ALASKA

Governor Clark Of Alaska, in his re-
cent report, notes decline in the white
population Of that region during the
last two years, alleging as one of the
reasons for this decline "the remarka-
bic public calumnies about Alaska
which have kept capital without its
borders -
We suppose that that is Governor
Clark's cautious way Of protesting
against the rumpus made by Pinchot
and his allies in their attacks upon
every one who has undertaken to do
anything by way Of developing the re-
sources of Alaska. The Guggenheims,
who have built the railroad up Copper
river and opened the rich copper de-
posits there. have been the subject of
this calumny right aloug. Every one
who undertook to open q coal mine
there has had the vials Of abuse poured
out upon him without measure or stint,
and even worse than that, the official
dom of the United States has been in
large degree turned toward the de-
privation of his legal rights of every
one who sought 10 develop Alaskan re-
sources, and every possible effort has
been made to prevent any one deriving
any benefit or profit from Alaskan in.
vestments
With regard 10 the white population
OF Alaska, Governor Clark speaks of 4
moderate decline in it. The total popu-
lation Of Alaska was given in 1900 by
the Federal census at 63,592. In 1910
the population was 64,356, gain Of
but 764 in the ten years. The moderate
decline mentioned probably brings back
the population to what il was in 1900,
or perhaps even lower.
This is a pretty bad showing for
American enterprise and American in
genuity and perseverance. But Ameri-
cans are not TO blame. Their own
Government is against them through
out in this, and the impossibility of de-
veloping a new region in the face Of
| the hostile attitude OF the Federal Gov
ernment and its offcialdom is thor,
| oughly demonstrated in the case OF
! Alaska. It is impossible for any ex-
| cept those of enormous wealth TO fight

have been able 10 maintain themselves
because they can command immense

zen OF the United States is not equipped
for such a fight. and so he has 10 stay

HoIAowNRss OF PLOT REVEALED.

XA1 ERE it not for the seriousness of the situation
w created by the trial Of Mendel Beliss Jew,
in kev Russia. for the so-called ritualistc murder
Of a Russian boy. the plea made by Mr.. Schmakoff,
representative OF the anti-Semites conviction OF
the accused man would be laughable because Of its
very Inconsistency. NJ schmakon said the Jews re-
gard Christians as animals to be destroyed without
compunction. He added that he did desire that a
severe penalty be inflicted upon Bess but insisted
that the jury convict him it might bring Joy to
millions of anxious Russian mothers.
Let us pass the that the history Russia
shows that the Russians regard the Jews animals
to be destroyed without compunction and that it
would be exceedingly difficult for NJ. Schmakon or
any other fanatca anti-semite TO produce authent-
Gated records committed by Jews against
the Russians. Let us confne attention to NJ Sch
makoffs assertion that he and his Jew-baiting and
Jewhating friends DO desire that penalty
be inflicted upon Bess, but that they do desire
viction.
The prosecution has attempted to show that Beliss
and at least one other murdered the boy and drew
blood from his veins in order that It might be used
for rituastc purposes II be sincere in that
tenton il alleging a crime henous that the
possible penalty should be inflicted upon its perpe-
traitors Then why should NJ. schmakon or any other
OF ant-Semites say that in of the
conviction Of the prisoner he would desire that
penalty be inflicted? Surely, when the gravity
Of the charge is considered, such a plea reveals the
utter honowness OF this Russian plot place upon
the entire Jewish and its religion the stigma OF
the murder of the Russian boy. II anyone doubted
before that II ant-Semite plot the plea made
by NJ. schmakof for a light sentence for a man ac-
cused Of such outrageous crime would serve to
that doubt

THE DAY AFTER.
rom the Elkton Vhig.

From the Elkton Wing.
II is not the custom or the Whig to
hold an election post mortem. When the
ticket is defeated we accept the result
with good grace, though we cannot fail
to sympathize with those who have to
60 down. We confess to much surprise,
however, at the results of this county on
Tuesday last. We confidently believed
that the people of Cecil desired a change
in the management of affairs and would
register that desire at the polls We
were mistaken in our judgment and pre-
dictions. The Democratic tide is Just
now at the food and it swept over Cecil
as it swept over the othO ARTS of the
country. The Republican ticket, with
the exception of the State Senator, was
submerged and our regrets go out to our
friends that had 10 suffer.
On the other hand we are sure those
friends, though defeated are broad
enough and generous enough to Join us
in congratulating those who are elected
and in eNpressig the sincerest wishes
for a successful and therefore acceptable
administration of affairs at their hands
The Legislative ticket is divided-the
State Senator being Republican and the
three members of the House of Della
gates all Democrats. We venture, how
ever the hope that a mere difference in
party label will in no wise affect their
mutual devotion to and cooperation in
the things that make for the highest
welfare of cur comm county. We are
Marylanders and Cecil comtians before
we are Democrats or Republicans, and
with this slogan stirring us we may hope
to work in unison for the mutual well
fare.

THAM AND HIS FIGHT.

Felker OF New Hampshire. The struggle between him

DON'T BURN THE LEAVES.
From the Georgetown Union Republican.
One of the most important contri-
buttons Of nature to tne fertility of the
soil is the great mass Of leaves that
fall when frost comes. They decay and
compensate the soil for what it has
done; they prepare it for future de-
mands. Their falling and their restora-
tion of soil fertility illustrate the great
law Of compensation in nature.
1t Is common at this season of the
year TO hear complaints about the
leaves They pile up in the yard and are
considered unsightly, and many are
gathered up and consigned TO the flames
regardless of the waste involved in their
destruction.
Don't burn the leaves. Withered and
dead, they~still have their natural func
tions to perform. If you must keep
them off the lawn, place them in a Sc
cure place, sprinkle dirt over them and
let nature prepare its natural fertilizer
for the soil. Sprinkle it in the flower
bed next spring and note the result. Put
it about the trees hisa keep them in
health.
Nature is wise in all its plans Since
the first tree spread its arms the falling
leaves have aided in soil replenishment
and helped sneeor all forms Of plant
life. Why not permit the plans of ma
ture TO be carried out, for producing
that which nature delights to produce
for the comfort Of manl Don't burn the
leaves.
