ALASKA ONLY ASKS CHANGE" t"
THE Salt-Lake Telegram. comment
 ing upon the Alaska situation

THE Salt-Lake Telegram. comment
 ing upon the Alaska situation
 says:
 If the government would only take it's clamps off Alaska and give the peo- pie the same chance that was given those, say, in the Mississippi Valley, it would be but few years until Alas ka would be claiming Statehood and would back the claim with abundant proof that it possessed all the requi- sites to justify the claim"
 This leads the Seattle Times to say:
 "Only a madman would continue conditions in the Northland that make it a menace to the Pacific Coast in time of war and an undevelOped wild erness in time of peace.
 "Only a wild theorist, welded to his own ideas. would deliberately tie up the resources of American territory, when American farmers are going in to other lands in search of the Oppor- tunity that could be theirs under the Stars and Stripes.
 Alaska only asks a chance. It knows that it possesses the resources to care for the people who may come. It is certain to be given that chance in due time-and when it comes the de- that will ensue will aston ish the United States"

W ANT ED-A LEADER IN NEW
 YORK
O-O


 THE greatest peril to the success
 l of the Democratic party in the
 Nation appearing on the horizon today is the apparent lack of capacity of the State of New York for self-gov crument. The menace is to the Demo cratic party rather than the Republi- can. Progressive or any other because that party happens to be in control both in that State and the Nation. So lar as conditions ill New York are concerned the other parties are in as dcplorable a state as is the Democrat ic party. Everywhere there is inca pacity-both as to leadership and as to the interest that the intelligent ele- ment or the voters take in public af- fairs.
 What the Democrats of New York need is d leader with intellect and character and personality sufficient Co attract the support and confidence ol the masses. The demand is for such a man as Silas Wright, or Hor- atio Seymour, or Samuel J. Tilden, or Grover Cleveland, or David B. Hill. One Ot the stature of any of these as nearly in touch with the best of this day as were any of them in touch with the best of his time, would save the day in New York and be a world of help to the Nation.
 Fortunately the Democratic party of the Nation Is ill the hands of a leadership that will probably enable it to work out the principles for which it stands without the aid of New York, but nevertheless the demOralized con- dition in that State will continue to be a menace to the party as long as it continues to exist.
 The situation is one that places an obligation on the 65O,OO0 supporters of the administration of President Will sou in the Empire State that is not a light one. There should be among their numbers some place a man of sufficient calibre and sufficient under standing of the best thought of the day to take the lead and place the con- trOl of New York in competent and clean hands. It is the duty of the re- spectabIe Democrats of that State to find the man and to give him the sup port necessary to make his efforts fruitful.

The killing of John (BulD Young, the Wyoming heavyweight prizefight- er, by Jess Willard with a blow on the chin, similar in all respects to that by which Arthur Pelkey killed Luther McCarty at Calgary, is responsible for the announcement that Pelkey, the most likely claimant of the champion ship of his class, will withdraw from the ring. Now if the other prizefight CTS would have the decency to follow Pelkey's example it might be said in truth that McCarty and Young died in good cause.

CROSSING THE TRACKS

Crossing railroad track just
ahead of flying locomotive saves
half q minute, which is very val
liable in your business. Further
more, it demonstrates to gaping
spectators the velocity of your
automobiles or the PAGES IF your
horse. 1t is a favorite rural
amusement, and helps break the
monotony of rural life.
The tendency to miscalcr late the
swift advance of an approaching
engine is so common an incident
that it gets only very modest pub
licity. But when a millionaire real
estate operator and Arctic adven-
turer like Osgood Pell of New
York dies from a crossing accident
it receives considerable newspaper
space not so much from the start
ling character of the event as from
the prominence of the individual.
One suspects that a reason why
deaths on grade crossings are num-
erous, is the fear CT seeming over
cautious to ones companions or to
on lockers. Prudence is consider
ed more or less humorous quail
ity.
An enormous amount of money
is being spent by railroads and
municipalities, to abolish grade
crossings. Costly fills of earth are
made, stone and cement are haul
ed enormous distances, and the bill
appears in the railroad fares.
1t never occurred to our grand
fathers that this was necessary.
When crossing track, they pull
ed up with a gentle whoa Dob
bin. The driver looked both ways
and listened axiously. Dobbin
always looked and listened. If
there was a train half a mile
away, the driver might proceed,
though ready to jump at any min
ute if it approached at any unex-
pected speed. Overhead bridges
and underground passes were not
required in those times. If the
American temperament were not
so goaded on oy the Hurry Spirit
the locomotive engineer would lose
his present involuntary task as a
public executioner.

President.
General liucrta declared that he
would deliver the position to anybody
who was legally named. 1t is under
stood that special general elections will
he called at an early date to select a
successor 10 Madcro. In the meanwhile
fluerta has assumed the post of Gov
ernor-Gcneral and has appointed Gen
cral Banquet military commander OF
the Federal district.
All this was done without the agree
mcnt and without the knowledge Of
Felix DiaZ. General IIucrta played the
bold stroke of taking Diaz at his word,
given some days ago, when he said
lie was not fighting for personal ambi-
ton. but merely for the removal of
AIadcro.
News of iiucrtas coup was sent to
DiaZ through the American embassy.
1t was very late al night before the
final peace papers were signed by both
parties.
The first official act of General lgu-
crta in his new capacity was to send
notification to the American alnba ssa-
dor. as to What had been done. Tho
note asked Ambassador Wilson 10 adj
wise the other members of the diplo-
matte corps and President Taft that
the battle had been closed thus ending
danger 10 the lives and interests OF
foreigners.

1iucrta Cskcd the ambassador TO per-
nit his oincc to be used as channel
for negotiations with tho rebels in the
effort to bring about Il complete un-
dcrstanding. Amba ssador Wilson re-
piled by agreeing to act as mediator,
and an exchange of notes was begun
which terminated in complete ac-
cord.
The formal transfer OF troops from
the rebel zone took place early this
morning. In the meanwhile tho gov
crnment lines had been removed and
the heavy cannon dragged back to
headquarters.
The demonstrations of the night by
the populacc over tho overthrow OF
Madcro were not without serious dis
orders. Marco Hernandez, brother
of tho minister of tho interior Rafael
Hernandez, was killed in tho streets
by rurales when he refused to cry
viva flucrta." A dcmonstrative crowd
surrounded him and insisted that he
join I'm the shouting, but he deiantly
replied:
viva Madoro" He was answered
by the pistols of tho rurales, whose
bullets killed him instantly.
Another Instance of disorder was the
firing OF the building occupied by the
Nueva Era, Il newspaper organ OF the
Madero administration.

was arrested In the coup d'etat, was
held prisoner during the night in
