Values in Hawaii and Alaska.

Hawaii has been extremely prosperous
since it came permanently under the
American flag in 1900. The assessed value
of property has increased one-half in
that time, the value of the sugar crop
has more than doubled, the deposits in
the banks have trebled, and the deposits
in savings banks have quadrupled. The
irrigation system is the marvel of the
engineering world. and the quantity of
sugar produced per acre is far in excess
of that of any other spot on the globe.
THE Alaskan islands and mainland
cost us $7,5OO.O0O, an expenditure that
many believed to be quite unjustifiab.e:
yet for many years the annual value OF
the sealskins alone Appropriated the
cost of the entire area, while at present
the value of the canned salmon sent us
from Alaska in a single year is twice as
much as the entire possession cost

accept Gen. Huerta as the logical product
of the abnormal Mexican situation and as
more likely to restore order than Madero.
Ambassador Wilson commended the firm
ness and prudence of the new provisional
government to Washington, but since
President Tafts administration was
drawing to a close, he decided not to ex-
tend recognition, lest it might embarrass
the undeveloped Mexican policy of Presi-
dent elect Wilson.
The latters intentions were sharply re-
vealed in statement on Iatin-American
policy issued March II, 1913. Without
mentioning him, 1t was directed straight
at Huerta, and has controlled every step
of the Washington government since. The
President said:
1--WE hold as / am sure all thoughtful
leaders of republican government every
where hold, that just government rests
always on the consent of the governed,
and that there can be no freedom without
order based upon law and upon the public
conscience and approval. We shall look
to make these principles the basis of mu-
tual intercourse. respect and helpfulness
between our sister republics and our
selves.
1--WE shall lend our influence of every
kind to the realization of these principles
in fact and practice. knowing that dis
order. personal intrigue and defiance OF
constitutional rights weaken and discredit
government and injure none SO much as
the people who are unfortunate enough to
have their common life and their common
history so tainted and disturbed.
I'VE can have no sympathy with those
who seek to seize the power of govern

of peace, but we know that there can be

FISH SLAUGHTER
 ON WEST COAST

The story of the slaughter of her ring at Klawock recently by heavy storm that drove the fish into the bay, and cast them upon the shore by the million, was not exaggerated accord ing to Isadore Goldstein, who came up from that section on the Curacao yes terday. He says that one literally had to wade through fish knee deep along the beach. After the storm subsided the bay at Klawock froze over partial ly and tens of thousands of dead her ring were imbedded in the ice, and this together with the live fish in the water below, made a sight not often seen, and certainly no where in the world but in Alaska.
 Mir. Goldstein says that the people of the West Coast are prosperous. At Klawock there are about twenty-five white persons, and 300 natives. He also visited Ketchikan and Wrangell, and he says these towns are doing good business and the outlook for them is excellent.

An Atlin B. C., dispatch to the Skag- way Alaskan says: A horrible tale of death reached here when a party of Indians brought George Redmond to Ruby creek in a half frozen condition. Redmond and Gus Sandberg had been trapping this fall on oDonnen river and when the report came of the re- cent strike on Silver creek by an In- dian, they started over to the Teslin country for the purpose of prospecting and making locations. Later they were seen by Indians and given some pro- visions as they were about out
 Redmond reports that they had reached Silver creek and had made their locations south of Teslin lake and were on their way back to record their claims, but ran out of grub and had nothing to eat for several days. The weather was bitterly cold and with no food, sandberg sickened and was unable to go farther. Redmond could do nothing for him because of his own weakened and frozen condi- tion and had to walk around the dy-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25,-A prop osition to enlarge the Supreme Court of the United States, thereby increas- ing the Democratic membership and making the tribunal more progress sive has been submitted by Mr. Gore. the blind Senator from Okla homa. He introduced a bill fixing the membership of the court at eleven, instead of nine, as at present.
 The bill caused a sensation. Sena- tor Cores friendly relations with Pres ident.elect Wilson gave the bill spe- cial standing. Mir. Gore is among the most radical of progressive Demo- crats.
 The bill is supposedly intended mere ly to form the basis of possible com mittee discussion. It would hardly be passed by the Senate as at pres ent constituted. The chances for such an enactment in a Congress Demo cratic throughout would be good It is not expected that even a report can be secured on the Gore bill be- fore adjournment of this session. The time is too brief for debate if a re- port should be submitted.
 The opinion prevails among Sena- tors that Mir Gore has taken into con sideration the fact that but three members of the Supreme Court are Democrats. These are Chief Justice White and Justices Lurton and La mar. An enlargement of the court to eleven members would give the Democrats five and the Republicans six. On that basis there would be fair chance that the court would be
 Democratic before the termination of President Wilson's term.
 The Judiciary Committee will have the custody of Mir Ceres bill, That committee is reactionary but contains three progressive Republican mem bers-Cummins, Borah and Brown. These by cooperating with the Demo crats could establish a working ma iority and favorably report the meas ure if desired
 It is assumed that Mir. Gore does not care to have action on his bill at this session, because President Taft

Repre- sentative Foster of Illinois offered an amendment to the Postoflice appro- priation bill that after July 1, 1913, or dinary stamps of any denomination might be used. Mir. Foster explained that many complaints had been re- ceived regarding the distinctive stamp.
 Representative Cannon said that to do away with the distinctive stamp would prevent the government from ascertaining the amount of revenue derived from the new system. The author of the amendment explained that he had provided that stamps used for parcel post should be so marked bv the sender. Mir. Cannon insisted that this would result in confusion,
