Alaska Proves
10 be Place for
Strawberries

Washington, Jan. l1-More than 100
varieties of Strawberries now grow in
Alaska, according to the annual re-
port of Alaska Agricultural expert
mental stations of the department of
agriculture made public here today.
Because Of the climatical conditions
in Alaska it was a hard problem at
ilrst to get strawberries to thrive, but
by hybridizing cultivated varieties
with pollen from the wild native Alas
ka strawberry, of the coast region,
splendid results were obtained. The
most remarkable feature about these
hybrid plants is that they were decid-
edly more vigorous than either parent
yielding more, growing anger and
seeming suited to almost any climate
in the territory.
In connection with the growing of
apples, the experts in Alaska wrote
that only trees with crab apple blood
produced fruit. An apple is being
made to hybridi2e the crab apple with
the ordinary eating apple in hopes of
getting fruit that will stand the cli-
mate and be acceptable to good table
use.

The Rosary
One of the
Very Best

Rowland and Clillord.s play, "The
Rosary" is repeating this season with
remarkable success This play, as
everybody remembers, was the hit of
last season, when it broke many house
records The play was written by Ed
ward E. Rose, author Of "The Prisoner
Of Zenda,' and many other successes
and has become as much of fayOrito
with theatre gocrs throughout the
country as any of Mr.. Roses former
dramas. The play from the start tells
how Bruce Wilton has amasscd for
tune which he layishes upon his wife
Vera. Their home is happy one un-
til there creeps into it note of men
ace, No one hears Of it at first except
Fr. Kelly priest, the former tutor
Of Bruce. Quietly be goes to work to
find the person who is causing the ad-
verse influence in the household
Almost on the verge Of discovering
the cause, calamity descends upon the
Wilton house Bruces fortune is
swept away and in such way that he
believes his wife the cause Of his ruin,
Husband and wife are separated, the
home is destroyed and yet the cause
Of all this disaster is unknown. FER.
Kelly, however, with resOlute zeal,
perseyeres in his work, to fathom the
mystery and finally succeeds in his
undertaking, lie finds the one who
caused all the misery and eventually
restores the home The scenic envi-
ronments Of The play are extremely at
tractiye, and place much credit on
Rowland and Clinord's efforts. The
play will be seen at the Grand opera
house Tuesday next with the cast con-
sistlng of Harry Terry Jean Ward,

glas Lawrence, Roy Laidlaw, George

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.

The bourbonism which denounces
as secession" the present admins
tration's proposals to extend local
self-government in the Philippines is
hopeless indeed.
All parties in the United States
have declared in favor of Philippine
independence some time. The only
question is when that time will ar
rive. The Wilson administration pro-
poses to try out the matter by giving
the Filipinos a little more control
of their own affairs, and seeing what
use they make of it. A more practi-
cal common-sense method of ap-
preaching the problem could hardly
be devised.
The Philippines have cost thou
sand million dollars of American
money and an unknown number of
American lives. They are a source
of weakness, not of strength. They
cannot be depended upon in time OF
war without vast increases in our
military and naval forces. Sound
craftsmanship, as we'll as American
principles. demands that we start
them in business for themselves as
soon as possible.-Chicago Journal.

WILSON THE FUTURE HOPE.

Essentially 1 am republican, but
l am for my country, before any
party. The most serious menace to
the government of this country and
the liberty of this people today is
Theodore Roosevelt. He is, as he has
always been, the tool of the trusts
and the servant of the interests.
Make no mistake about that. He can
not be beaten by a republican, who
ever he may be. And if popular gov
eminent is to be preserved in this
republic he must be beaten. Unless
Woodrow Wilson does something
there is now no reason to expect he
will do, he can beat the imperial
pretender and l do not believe any
one else can
The republican party should reor-
ganize on some lines and nominate
the best man it can and we should
support him with all possible force
and strength, in the hope that one
more good, substantial drubbing will
permanently eliminate Mr.. Roosevelt
from American politics. But the
hope of this nation in 1916 is Wood
row Wilson-not the republican
nominee.
And so. while we may have many
afsagreements with Mr.. Wilson's de-
tails, let it be understood first, last,
and all the time, that unless he be-
comes materially different from what
he is now, he is the real hope of the
republican party and the nation in

MONROE DOCTRINES, TRUE AND
FALSE.

Americans who are always urging
the abandonment of the Monroe doc
trine are as trying to the patience of
thise who are forever subjecting it to
distortion. The suggestion that
there should be international action
in Mexico has no more relation to the
North American act; yet newspapers
want to wipe out the Monroe Doc
trine at the first step.
In it's briefest terms the Monroe
doctrine is declaration against the
extension of monarchy on this hemis-
phere. For many years we were con-
tent to let it go at that Now, how
ever, the Monroe doctrine is any
extreme view of overlordship which
the lingo or imperialist sees fit to
take.
Under the true Monroe doctrine we
stood ready to protect Latin Ameri-
ca from the aggressions of kings and
emperors bent upon conquest, not so
much for the benefit of Latin Ameri-
Ga as for the safety of ourselves.
Under the spurious Monroe doctrine
we have more than once undertaken
to schoolmaster weaker nations, to
relieve them of their rightful re-
sponsibilities and to bully friendly
European powers wronged by revolu-
tionists and dictators.
Joint action in Mexico can have no
bearing upon the true Monroe doc
Urine except to make it more binding.
Joint action in Mexico would kill the
false Monroe doctrine in every tur-
Dulent Latin-American state and in
this country also.

THE TARIFF AND WAGES.

There is a tendency on the part OF
some employers to assume that the
only way they can cOunterbalance
the effect of reduced tariff protec-
ton will be by cutting wages. 1t
was this view that Secretary Red
field was discussing when he said he
would investigate factories which cut
wages following the enactment of the
new law, and already cases are ap-
pearing in which the services of the
secretary for that purpose are likely
to prove useful.
One case of that kind is that of
the potters and their employees. The
employers proposed an immediate
cut in wages to make up for the re-
duction in the tariff. The men re-
sisted and compromise was reached
where they are until sufficient time
has elapsed to show just what effect
the tariff reduction is having. IT,,
when the time for further negotia-
ton arrives, the manufacturers
should feel that they are not making
enough money they will doubtless
charge the trouble to the tariff and
reney the plan to reduce the wages.
If that situation should arise both
the public and the men will have the
right to know whether the tariff law
is actually working as the manu- fac
turers say it works or whether their
inability to make both ends meet is
due to some other cause.
Wages are not the only thing for
which the manufacturers spend mon
ey, nor is a reduction in wages the
only method by which they can save.
If the manufacturer is paying too
much for material, using wasteful
methods, or carrying staggering
load of debt, he has no right to
charge his trouble to just tariff law
nor has he the right to make his en-
ployes pay the cost of his own mis-
takes. 1t will be into questions like
these that the Secretary of Com
merce will inquire, and if incompe-
tent manufacturers try to make their
employees carry the burdens of incom-
petence he will let the world know
the truth.-St. Louis Republic.
