 brought about in the attitude of the British people toward-the two po- uucal parties of England, the London Times says: This amazing government has prodted by it's error" The "error" was, Of course, the determination to pass and enforce the home rule bill for Ireland. pursuant to the declared policy Of the Liberal party prior to it's victory at the polls. It may be that the Times is right It is pub Iished in London and it's editors con slider British politics with all the ad- vantage of first hand information and long familiarity However, on this side of the Atlantic opinion is more likely 10 be that AsQuith and his party and home rule have prOftted by the amazing" spectacle of the preaching by the Unionists Of armed rebellion against the government. and by Union ist encouragement of sedition in the army
 over here it looks nightly as though the "error" was committed by the op- position and not the government, and that the profit has gone where it Of right belongs.

If Congress only does as Cabinet mem bers have asked 1t to do, when the Alaskan of the future looks at the Ter ritorial capitol building he will think of McAdoo: when he considers the liberal land laws, the administration of Federal governmental functions and the developing railroad it will be the kindly and handsome face of Lane that will present itself before his mental vision. and all those who travel up and down the coast will bless the memory of Redfeld for providing safety to nav igation.

OEATTLE newspapers are exhibit , ing a peculiar brand of appre-

They are giving columns of space to Representative Humphreys campaign literature abusing the Pres ident and Cabinet and the majority party in Congress.
