REPRESENTING BIG INTERESTS.

On March 15, 1908, Judge Wicker sham joined in telegram to tht judge of the Third judicial division o1 Alaska, taking sides with the operat ors against the miners in the Tanana strike of that year.
 On April 8, 1908, Judge Wickersham wrote to My Dear MT. Birch" that "I have entered upon the practice of law here, and represent some of the most important interests in the ter ritory, and the outlook for returns is satisfactory"
 Like as not the judge spoke a mouthful, or more accurately, wrote a handful, when he registered that allegation on paper. Could it be pos sible that the Northern Commercial Company, or the banks, or the big mine operators were among "the i'm portant interests that had retained for their service Judge Wickersham's unquestioned legal ability?
 It is strictly legitimate and honor able for any lawyer to act as ad wiser to big corporations. It is nc reflection on Judge Wickersham that he did it or was willing to do it, but why when lawyer goes into poli tics should he rage as the heather do against everybody with little 1naZuma

WARS TOLL IN HUMAN LIVES.

Despite all the efforts of the pow CTS engaged in the European war to conceal their losses, the unofficial re- ports indicate that the final total of deaths will be the greatest in all rec orded history. British regiments are said to have come out of action with out a commissioned officer standing. German and French battalions (equal to our regiments) are reported to have been almost wiped out. Thirty is the number of survivors given in one case; that is, 30 of 800 to 1000 men. Such official reports as sift through to us justify no such esti- mates, and though they are probably advertisements, they certainly are much nearer the truth than the un- authorized reports.
 This is merely the conclusion Of common sense. If the loss of life were what these wild stories imply, both armies now would be mere shadows of themselves. The so-cal(ed battle of the Aisne already has lasted for 30 days with constant artillery fire and the exchange of infantry as saults. That the loss has been heavy, even tremendous, must be accepted, vet the layman has an exaggerated Idea of the destructive abilities or modern weapons. That they are more efficient than the old smoothbore

within a twenty-mile radius of New London, Conn.,, than there are along the thousands of miles of Alaska's coast line. There ply between Seat tie and Alaska points steamships making nearly 800 round trips year. carrying tens of thousands of passen- gers and a commerce aggregating in value upwards of $6O,OO0,0OO a year. And every year great toll of life and vessel property is taken because of the lack of even surveys of Alas ka waters.
 The present summer the govern ment itself lost, in the destruction of the revenue cutter Tahoma-due en- tirely to the lack of proper charts, proper surveys and proper aids to navigation-more property value than the largest appropriation ever ask ed for the protection of vessels ply ing those waters and carrying that great commerce. An investment in surveying dnQ ClldIlluS Aldohd "d- ters, less in amount than the expen- ditures for building single federal postoffice in some obscure country town, would have saved that loss and the loss of millions of dollars worth of other property afloat.
 There is no other route for con- merce in the world today, whether in the territorial waters of civilized or a semi-civilized power, so inadequate ly surveyed, inadequately lighted and inadequately furnished with the GUS tomary aids to navigation as the wa ters through which pass as $6O,000,- 900 domestic commerce. It is re- flection upon the civilization of a country which permits the existence of such conditions.-Seattle Post-In- telligencer.

THOSE BELGIANS.

To date the Belgians have suffer ed and lost more heavily by the war than any other country. That little power has been so thoroughly and
 completely devastated that it's pres ent generation will never live suffi- ciently long to see it restored to even semblance of what it was three months ago and before it felt the crushing heel of the German kaiser.
 Without cause or semblance of prov ocation Belgium has been reduced from prominent position in the business world to one of poverty and nakedness. Where formerly there was peace, plenty and happiness, sor'
