JUDGE E. M. BROWN.

The announcement bulletined yesterday by the PrOspector that the president had sent to the Sen ate the name of Fred M. Brown to succeed Judge ONerfield was received with great satisfaction by the people, of this town, and as many of the citizens of Cor dova and Seward had also re- quested the appointment of Judge Brown it will be received by them with equal qualification.
 For twelve years Judge Brown has been a citizen of this town, and in those years he has gained the respect and confidence of the community. He has held public office with honor to himself and to the town and his past life gives assurance of greater honors to come.
 The appointment is just re- cognition of capability and fitness and reflects much credit on the president, who made the appoint ment, and honor to the district, in which the Judge has lived.
 We congratulate Judge Brown upon the high honor which has come to him. We thank the pres ident for, the appointment of an Alaskan, who has earned by hon. est living the confidence of the community. The administration of justice in Alaska has taken an- other forward step in the cOnti- dence of the people.

THE ALASKA AND PANAMA
 RAILWAYS.

Delegate WlckerSham of Alas ka has just given the Senate COm- mittee on Territories his view re- garding construction of gOVern- mcnt railways there. He teStifies that the government would eff feet great economies in the transportation of its supplies if the railways now under the con- trol of the mnnupoliStS were eX- tended under control of the gov ernment. The delegate neglected to say how Alaska suffers under a monopoly which is controlled by government quite as securely as any railway could be. 1t is not to be supposed, OF allowed, that the government should op- crate it's railways differently from other railways under the control of the Interstate Commerce Commission. which was eStab- liShed for the control of all rail- ways. Neither did the delegate say what might be the limit of the governments loss on it's gov ernment railway over and above tany economies which it might take in the transportation of it's supplies. If the government should keep any balance sheet-- in defiance of time hOnOred neg lect to do soft could be balanced by suitable entry to the credit of experience gained.
 The people are also balancing their books of account with an- other government railway, that at Panama. In contrast with the glowing promises of what might be accomplished. for the relief of Alaska by a government railway may be set over the accomplish ment at Panama. Nobody has done this better than Frank Trumbull, who has just return ed from an inspection of the ca nal and the railway, and who has the experience to make ms OD- servations trustworthy and in- structive. He says:
 "The average capitalization of United States railroads is abt ut $6O,000 a mile. We paid to the French nearly S200,00O mile and we are spending about $200,- 900 a mile more to relocate and rebuild most of it. The gross earnings of the Panama railroad are about $92,00O mile per an- num--as against S11,000 mile average in the United States. The first-class passenger rate is fiv' cents a mile, and its average rat' per tonmile four cents, as agains an average of three -fourths O. one cent per ton mile in the Unit ed States; and when the railwa,
Valdez daily prospector., 1913-06-11

was threatened with congestion the company simply notified pros pective patrons that it would not take any additional business" Mr. Trumbull might have add ed that the government railway is still doing business with it's transcontinental competitors in the same bad old way. Altogeth- CT Alaska might well consider whether it would not fare better under privately owned and pub licly regulated monopoly than under government monopoly, which is as like the other sort as another pea from the same pod, distinguished only by a some what less regard for the regula- tions which it establishes for oth- CTS, and which at any time are liable to be imposed upon itself. Assuming that the appropriation of S35, ,O0O,0OO now pending should be authorized, it is plain that all of it would be marked off the net value to the govern- ment of it's coal lands, now so thoroughly conserved as to be worth nothing to anybody. That amount of money might construct half as much mileage as would be built by those looking to pro- fits for their reward. And if Pan- anna offers any precedent, the rates on the government railway would be above those on the pri- vately owned and publicly regu- lated roads. It would seem as though the entry to experience in the peoples balance sheet is about as large as the account would stand.--New York Times.

SOLDIERS IN MANILA NO MORE
CAN STROLL WITH DUSkY
BELLIES.

Washington, March 17-No more
can the American fighting man in
Manila walk hand in hand in the
moonlight with his brown-skinned,
starry-eyed sweetheart, for the war
department learned today that Col
onel George X. Hunter of the Seventh
cavalry has issued an order prohibit
ing the men of the Manila garrison
from appearing in public with native
women. The order was imperative
and read:
Members of this command are
hereby forbidden to be seen in public
in the company of native women, eX-
cept those men who are married to
such women"
Prejudice, caste and discrimination
has, not only, so inocculated and per-
colated through the white man in
America that it's baneful effects can
be seen throughout the various Amer
lean legislatures, but that even in
far-off Manila, selfish, narrow and
biased American colonel has seen fit
and felt the need to promulgate a
vicious order against women of color
and attempt to regulate the society
of his interiors by forcing them to
crystalline and perpetuate his petty
prejudices and caprices. No matter
how much character these maidens
may have, how worthy or respectable
and what their social position or in
fluence may be, yet these SOL
diers must not be seen in public
in company with these native
women" The right of man to
choose his associates is THUS abridged
and the treatment offered puts a pre-
MUM upon the white mans rascality,
lowers and disgraces the dignity and
virtue of the brown and black women,
creating a caste which causes enmity
to form in the hearts of the natives
against the American white man.
Such seeds planted in the breasts Of
these natives, who think, understand
and know, can only bring forth a
harvest of spite, grudge, rancor and
growing hatred against America. Is
America sowing the wind to reap
the whirlwind? Has not Spains ex-
perience been lesson to her? Such
an order ought to be recalled forth
with.
