DEBATES OUGHT
 T0 BE PUBLIC
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.

Washington, April 23 ---CSpeciaD Secrecy in handling public questions is the cause of a great many mIsun- dersmmdings Nearly every senator will assert that secret sessions of the senate are necessary to consider treat ies and other matters pertaining to for eign governments.
 It does seem absurd that in a repub- lie one or two men may make treaty with foreign government and that it may be taken into the secret session of the senate and ratified and the people know nothing about it, no matter how it affects their interests. But that Is the way things are done, although occasionally information concerning treaties reaches the public, but not in official form.
 If there had not been so much se- Crecy in the consideration of the y-Pauncefote treaty relating to the Panama canal We might now know what was in the minds of men when that treaty was considered. We can find many men who assert that ney- CT for a moment was the coastwise shipping supposed to be included in the term "al nations" which is now the British contention. The debates of the senate at that time should have been made public in order that we might understand what was the con- struction put upon the terms of the treaty which is now causing so much trouble.
 Field Days In Congress.
 Tine manner in which the galleries Of congress- are packed when discussions take place on Panama canal tolls shows the keen interest which the peo- pie have in the subject There has been no topic in recent years which seems to have aroused so much inter- est as this subject of canal tolls.
 A Possible Graveyard.
 Many years ago John L. Wilson of Washington used to refer to proposed waterway in his state as the ditch which would be the graveyard of q great many statesmen. His prediction was true, as several statesmen of Washington went out of public life on account of the Seattle ditch"
 nave also heard the prediction made that the Panama canal was a ditch that would engulf many states men. Looking over the membership in the house of representatives and know ing how a great many of the members feel there is a possibility that the graveyard business is going to begin at this session. This canal tolls ques- ton is one that cuts both ways. Men who support the president are accused of opposing the Democratic platform, and men who oppose the president are accused of withholding their support from the administration. Both of these make campaign material In many con gressiOnal districts.

HAPPY IN FAR

Old On fitting Camp of White
 Pass Mushcrs Is Per manent City,

D. w. Hagen in the Portland Telegram of April 14th.
 It may be that sometimes at night, when the chilly winds are rushing down from the North and the snows on the mountains are shift ing, the spirits of the huadreds of "mushers" who lost lEoir lives seeking the gold camps aIong the Yukon river again v-sit the scenes of their camps on the Skagway Leach; maybe they look down the Lynn canal at the steamers blowing hOmeward; maybe their cries are in the night winds. But no one will ever know what dreams came to these men as they shouldcred their packs and staarted out oyer the White Pass trail from SEagway The city from which they started is still resting on the upper eHd ol the canal: the trail is still "here the first "mushers" found it, bu, the romance of the early gold days lives only in the memories of the men who were here in those stirring times.
 Today skagway is one of the prosperous cities of southeastern Alaska. There is not an idle man in the place, a most unusual con- ditiou for >u Alaskan city at this time of the year.
 One thousand happy folks live here and more families ure coming in every month, taking @p house keeping in real homes with yards in front of them and nice gardcns in the rear, with flower beds along the walks. There are fine flower gardens in this town, beautiful gardens that would de,igh. the eyes of Frederick V. Holman and other famous Portland rose lovers; pan sies grow so large that one has to see them to believe the size; some are three inches in diameter sweet peas as pretty as are to Ee found any place are grown by SNagway housewives, while school children own beds of asters and other pOsies.
