On second thought we believe that
1t was altogether appropriate for
Hooper to have Allen Grant Thurman
Matthews, of blood and thunder fame,
introduce him at Memphis. We
reached this conclusion after reading
Hooper's threat that under no circum-
stances would he permit over four
thousand majority to be returned
against him in Shelby county. Won
der if the governor is going to advo-
cate the same methods for keeping
down democratic majorities this year
that his sponsor at Memphis did ten
years ago?

What is the difference between
democratic prohibition and republican
prohibition, if any? That is simply
what all this row in Tennessee now
is about. The people will decide in
November whether they are for pro-
hibition by democrats or prohibition
by republicans. Certainly a rather
small matter for all the hurrah and
the shouting and the charging and
counter charging.

PLAYING POLITICS.

| AlCCl uli I1oopOl ID simply q Wei
adriot, smooth and accomplished poll
tician. He is an exceedingly able
politician, but like most of the poll
ticians he is looking out first for him
self. His selfishness, his inordinate
desire to hold office in Tennessee are
all incontestable proofs Of what We
say. And in these respects he does
not materially differ from those who
oppose him. Most of the men II
politics are selfish; they are after the
loaves and the fishes. But in the
light of Hooper's record and his con
slant play of politics the efforts Of
his followers to place a halo upon
his brow and to make him the pat
riot par excellence must fail.
Had Hooper been less of a selfish
politician and more of a patriot he
would not have been candidate for a
third term as governor With an eye
to seat in the United States Sen.
ate as the ultimate object of his am.
bition. Had he been more concerned
about public affairs and less about
the qualification OF his personal ambi.
tons he would have been in New
York now making an effort to float
the states maturing debt instead of
going about over Tennessee tanning
into a fame the dying embers OF
hate and fractional discord The gov
ernor was not unwilling to neglect a
public duty in order to make a cam.
paign for reelection.
The governors course in this mat
ter is in striking contrast to that of
the President of the United States
and the congressman from this dis
trict. Wilson refuses to make
speeches during this campaign be.
cause duty calls him to his job at
Washington. Although Padgett was
in the midst Of a close and doubtful
campaign and had failed to make a
canvass of the three largest counties
of his district, when the call to duty
at Washington came he promptly
cancelled his appointments, placed
his political future in jeopardy and
returned to his post Of duty.
We will not deny that three
fourths or even nine-tenths of politi-
clans would have done just as Hoop
er is doing. Both democrats and re.
publicans will neglect the public in
terest before they will miss the main
chance. Hooper is no more to blame
than thousands Of others, but the
point we make is this, that in the
light of his record his followers have
no warrant whatever for claiming
that he is the only simon pure, de-
pendable and yard wide patriot in
Tennessee They have no reason to
contend that unless he continues for
ever in public Office the cause of
good government will Danish from the ,
face Of the earth. Hooper is able,
be is smart and he is clever. All that
we concede. But he is also a selfish |
politician more concerned about the
qualification of his Unsuitable ambi-
lion than he is about any public in
.erest

PORTLAND, Ore, March I2.-Port

devastating conAagration in its history
early today when TWO mammoth grain
docks, laden with wheat, were de
stroyed, two large vessels ruined al
most beyond repair, and dozen build

Scores of Chinese, members of the
crew of the Royal Mail steam packet
Gienroy, had narrow escapes, many OF
them jumping into the river in scant

WASHINGTON, March l2.-Presi
dent Wilson today extended what he
termed "the hand Of real helpfulness
and brotherhood TO Alaska when he
signed the bill authorizing the expendi-
ture OF S35,00o,000 for the first gov,
ernment owned railway constructed by
tho United States.
Secretary Lane, group Of senators
and representatives and member OF
the Seattle chamber Of commerce stood
beside the president as he affixed his
signature to the act which passed both
houses of congress by substantial ma.
Jorlties. The president was in a happy
mood as he signed, and in laying one
souvenir pen aside to uso another
smihngly remarked:

When the bill had been signed the
president made brief speech.
Secretary Lane Immediately after.
ward had long talk with the pres-
dent about the selection Of engineers
for the task. Although Colonel Goe,
thals had been mentioned for the work
it is unlikely that he viii be through
with the Panama canal in time for the
present undertaking, which Mr.. Lane
intends to get into operation at once
The secretary said the enactment Of
the railroad bill will be followed by
the passage of the Alaska leasing bill,
which would mean the carrying out Of
the administration programme for the
development Of Alaska in an Incredibly
short time. He added that an attempt
would bo made to gather the working
force this year, and that map show
ing the routes and conditions existing
along each would be studied by the
president.
"Our aim,' Mr.. Lane said. "will be
not merely to construct railroad from
the sea into the interior, but along n
route that will develop the agricultural
and mineral resources Of the country
SO that we may have a railroad that
will tap large coal fields and have other
freight to carry

CHAIRMAN TAYLOR
BLAMES THE OWNERS
Refusal to Recognize Miners
Union Prevents Settlement
of Strike.

WASHINGTON. March 12-Refusal of
the Michigan copper mine companies to
recognize the miners union was de-
nounced as "un-American'' by Chairman
Taylor and members OF the house invcsti-
eating committee upon their return to-
day from their trip to the copper strike
region Representative Taylor described
James MacNaughton, vice president and
general manager OF the Calumet & Hecla
Copper company, as "the boss OF that
great region.
The committee will send an expert In
few days to Boston TO go over the books
of the Calumet & Hecla company 1t Will
hear John Mitchell next week and then
will allow the companies and the strikers
fifteen days in which to file briefs.
Both the Michigan and Colorado inves-
tigating subcommittees expect 10 submit
their reports to the house in May, per-
haps earlier.
About 5000 miners are still on strike
In Michigan and living miserably out on

an attitude which denies the strikers the
constitutional right to belong to a union
just as the companies have the right to
organize among themselves.

i've TO the investigation. Mr.. Howell said
tonight That on the whole "the disturb

and that the miners welfare and in
terests had been literally considered at all

The refusal of the mine operators and
