will. 1t gives satisfaction to human needs that
seem permanent human nature itself.
Why should we want to destroy the theatre
1t is the most democratic instrument of culture
we have Not everybody can understand SER
MONS treatises and books but any child can un-
derstand play. Civilization would now be many
centuries behind where it has come to had it not
of public influence.
The stage has given us Aeschylus, Sophocles,
Euripides, Beaumont, Fletcher, Shakespeare,
Ben Jonson, Moliere, Hugo, Racine, Bernard
Shaw, and host of the greatest geniuses of all
time.
1t has given us Agamemnon, The Eumenides,
Oedipus Tyrannus, Everyman, Faust, Hamlet,
She Stops to Conquer, The Middle Class Gentle
man, Servant in the House, Man and Superman,
Candida, and hundreds of the most precious mas
terpieces of human thought in possession
Such men as Goethe, Schiller, Addison, Oliver
Goldsmith, R. L. Stevenson, Arnold Bennett, Thos.
Hardy, Longfellow Lew Wallace, and countless
others 1--WE name them wholly at random) have
been glad to present their works of genius on the
stage.
And the players themselves! Can any other
profession name nobler lot than many OF them
In recent years we have had Sir Henry Irving,
an E. H. Sothern, William Faversham, Julia
Marlowe, Maude Adams, a Sarah Bernhard
and others too numerous to mention.
To condemn an institution so fruitful in great
results seems to us a rather highhanded piece of
business The theatre has had its crimes to an
swer for, it has sins peculiar to itself which are
coming home to it with avengng power, it is
stained with vice and crime; but what human in
stitution isn't?
We have always thought of plays we have
of books; some are thoroughly bad, in
different and some are very good. To throw all
plays to the void would be vandalism compar-
able only to an attempt to burn the worlds
| libraries.

The Wilson Program

congressional committee of which Mr.. Pujo
was chairman, issued a report in which it was
shown that very small group of New York
financiers practically control the industry of the
country. Through the Morgan company alone
this group controls corporations with aggre-
gate capitalization of twenty-five billions.
Their method of control has been through a
system of interlocking directorates. In this way
they have kept death grip on credit have mo-
nopolized great natural resources, and by occupy
ing strategic point in the nations industrial
development have been enabled to lay their tax
across the shoulders of every person in the land.
Beverdge called this small class "the invis-
ible government Roosevelt described it as the
power of predatory wealth. Bryan spoke Of it
monopoly through vested interests Presi-
dent Wilson frequently refers to it as the power
that "shackles trade All politicians and lead
of the more progressive type have looked
upon it as the chief menace of democratic coun-
try, with it's free institutions.
The Democratic party pledged itself before
election to GUST this class from its position of
control. The president began by setting himself
resolutely to the carrying out of this anti-mo-
nopoly program.
Feeling that it had entrenched itself behind
the tariff he first directed his energies against
that ancient buwark of privilege. Believing
that another foothold of monopoly was furnished
by an ineactic currency system, he then con-
centrated attention on that.
These two achievements to his credit he now
turns to direct battle with monopoly. He
determines to destroy it root and branch by leg
isation aimed directly at it. Just what his pro-
gram is nobody, as yet, can feel certain, but it
is pretty generally understood that he will want
the interlocking directorate system destroyed
any restraint of trade defined unreasonable
and more understandable Interpretation made
of the Sherman antitrust law.
Many will doubt if this program will avail to
accomplish it's end many will fear that the presi-
dent will not find easy sailing in his next un-
dertaking in his last but all must feel that he
has thus far undertaken his difficult task with
Ia Observation-Disclosures and energy most com
commendable.

WILSON PLANS
FOR A FARMERS
CREDIT SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. is
Another step in the legislation pro-
gram as planned by President Will
son was made known here today when
it was announced that special mes
sage on rural credits would shortly
follow the special message to congress
on the matter of trust legislation
The President proposes to have con
gress take up the matter of establish
ing credit system for the American
farmers as soon the trust Ques-
tion has been taken up. From present
indications congress will have a busy
summer and the results will mark the
Democratic session as one of the most
conspicuous by the results obtained
The special message dealing with
the regulation of the trusts which
President Wilson has been working
on since his return from his vacation
at lass Christian, was completed last
week and was then discussed with the
members of the cabinet The mess
age will be delivered to both houses
of congress by the President on Tues
DAY. Although no details have been
given out to the public officially 1t
is known that President Wilson urges
strlcter government supervision of cor
porations dealing with public utilities
and advocates the determination of
the practice of the interlocking of di-
rectorates. The Democratic trust plan
differs from the Roosevelt and Taft
system in that the corporations are
permitted by the government as long
as they serve the people but as soon
as the trusts endeavor to monopolize
the industry, the government will step
in and supervise the business for the
corporation according to the principles
as advocated by the government
1t has long been known that Presi-
dent Wilson has a penchant for as
sisting the farmers of the country
who under the present system in
vogue are Disseminated against in
ch way that they are labornS
under the greatest of difficulties. He
proposes to establish a credit system
for the men of the soil such as is
now in use in Europe and which will
with which to carry on their industry
and to harvest their crops. When
the new rural credit system is a law
of the land the farmers will be able
to secure credit at any of the govern
ment banks, and government funds
will be at the disposal of the agricul-
turalists.

KAGOSHIMA. Japan. Jan. lS.-Nu-
merous subterranean explosions have
been felt here today. Professor ONO

REMOVING WRECK
OF s. s. O[YMP| IA

VALDEZ, Jan. 1S.-Four divers ar
rived here yesterday from the Outside
on the steamship Mariposa who will
work on the wrecked steamship Oym-
pia. The Olympia was wrecked in the
bay in December 1910 and at the time
of the accident the vessel had on
board Judge E T.. Cushman and all
of the court officials of this division
at that time. Since that date the
Olympia has rested almost completely
under water and has stood as sort
of sentinel to all other vessels en-
tering the harbor. withs tanding the
waves and all of the storms which
have occurred in the meantime.
AS soon as the preliminary arrange
ments are completed, the divers will
commence the work of taking the
wrecked steamer to pieces. The parts
will be shipped to Seattle as junk
and may be used there in repairing
some of the other Alaskan vessels
which may have the misfortune of
having an accident The work OF
clearing the bay of the derelict has
been in view for some years but be-
cause the funds were not available.

HUNDRED MEN
IN NEW CAMP

GORDONA, Jan. 1S.-One of the late
arrivals in this city from the Nelchina
district made the trip here in five
lays, taking the old trail from Matan-
uska country to Copper Centre ana
going from there to Chitina. The
recent arrival states that the Chitina-
Nelchina trail is in fine condition and
that the majority of those who are
going into that district are using that
road.
1t is estimated that there are about
hundred men working in the Nelchi-
ma now although there are about as
many more who have been in the dis
trict and have gone out to get sup
plies and are now on their way back
Since the good finds We're made last
fall much prospecting has been done
1ut no new diScoV cries have been
made recently. Most of the work is
being done on Olaf and Crooked creeks
where many holes are being put down
The latter stream has a very promis-
ing outlook and it is predicted that
much better finds will be made there
soon, although the present prospects
are not encouraging.

MEX1CO CITY, Jan lS.-It is re-
ported on good authority that Presi-
dent Huerta is planning to recall
Minister FREDERICK Gamboa to the For
eiSn Affairs office and that Querido
Moheno will again be appointed to the
position of minister of finance which
he held some time ago. Gamboa was
very successful in his dealings with
American representative n. O'Shaugh-

Huerta is thinking of Tesuming his

LIKE To HAVE
OUR GENERALS

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 1s.-Provisonal
President Huerta is again drinking
heavily and during his drunken spells
gives vent to his opinions in their true
light. and speaks his mind canddly.
While discussing the revolution to-
day he paid a high tribute to the
American soldiers and showed that he
held them in high esteem when he
said that he wished to God that he
had only a dozen American generals
and that with them he would soon be
able to crush the marauding rebellious
forces.
Rumors are again prevalent to the
effect that he is to take charge Of the
federal forces and this time it Is
reported that he will assume the lead

putting down the rebellion is to gain
popularity and the friendship of his
soldiers so that he can carry the presi-
Dental election which is to be held
next July He also hopes to renew
the confidence in his government by
showing a firm hand in the control
Of his soldiers.

FARM CLEARING
HOUSE WANTED.

WASHINGTHN, y. c., Jan. 1S.--At
the instance oE Emil Rettig, a farmer
Of Opportunity Y saington. Senator
William l. Borah, ot Idaho, yester-
lay introduced a bill in the upper
house which provides for the estab-
iishment of farmers clearing house
The plan is similar to the system in
vogue at cooperative stores but un-
der the Borah bill the clearing house
will be under the supervision of the
Government and it's object is to elm
mate competition. In this way all
farm products could be marketed at
the clearing house and there sold
to the ultimate consumers at a low
er price than now asked, but the farmers
would gain the profit made by the
middle men and Spectators who
handle the products and charge their
commissions.
In a memorial from Farmer RettiG
which accompanied the bill. it is stat
ed that the trusts have helped the
people more than the government has
and an urgent appeal is made that
the farmers, the producing people of
the nation, be assisted in the plight.
that they may obtain the funds which
rightly belong to them and which are
needed in improving the farms and
fields.

MAIL COMING

CORDOVA, Jan. 1S.-The steamship
Mariposa arrived here Friday from
Seattle, bringing a large shipment of
mail for Fairbanks and the Interior.
Part of the mail matter consists
of the mail which was carried on the
wrecked steamer Jeanie which left
Seattle December 10th. Most of the
first class mail carried on the Jeanie
arrived here over a week ago but the
Mariposa brought the balance of the
shipment most of which consists of
second class matter
No mail was lost in the wreck of
the .Jeanie as the officers of the boat
succeeded in saving all of it though
some of it was badly damaged by
water. 1t was taken back to Seattle
by a returning steamer and after be-
ing sorted again was sent North. The
Fairbanks mail left Chitina yesterday
morning.
