The Business Decree.

Mr.. Wilson's attitude towards bus
mess, like his Mexican policy, with
little doubt, flows from the perennial
Bryan. The Commoner's sneering
contempt for business is reflected in
the Presidents class room thought as
that thought is disclosed in his oper-
ations upon Congress.

Sunday Tragedies.

Every Monday morning the daily
newspapers record several CHASTITY ac-
cidents in which the automobile figures
prominently. For some time past this
has been noticeable to the readers OF
the Daily Sentinel and 1t is evidently
getting worse instead Of better. The
record last Monday was quite as grue-
some as any lover of horrors could
wish. Automobiles crashed into each
other. drove into trees, plunged over
bridges into streams, collided with
street cars, bicycles or carriages, and
in divers other ways managed to kill!
q considerable number Of men and
women while injuring others more or
less severely. It was q gala day for
death and the chances are that next
Monday morning will bring as lurid
reports.-Grafton Sentinel.

Mine Strike.

While the prolonged strike in east
ern Ohio cannot be regarded as other
than a disastrous experience, It has
its satisfactory features. One is the
almost unanimous resistance to the
machinations OF the /. w. w. leaders
made by the eastern Ohio miners.
Here and there the l. w. w, agitators
have received some comfort and sup
port, but the very large majority OF
the miners have refused to counten-
ance their policy and their program.
Particularly, have the more important
leaders Of the miners been effective in
counseling peace and the observance
of law and order.-Wheeling News.

Our Responsibility.

The Wilson administration cannot
escape the responsibility now for
whatever may happen IN Mexico. The
acts OF the new administration in that
bleeding country will be by indirec-
ton the acts OF the Wilson adninis-
tration itself. The United States could
not assume to Danish what govern
ment there was in that republic. and
then to let events shape themselves,
without a show of more than passing
interest. Since 1t. has reduced that
country, by arbitrary decree, backed
by the resources Of our own army and
navy, to utter ruin, and has left Mex
leo without any government except a
makeshift that was provfdsd by the
government we banished, It is now in-
cumbent upoE us to take some stock
Of the result and to show some con-

lacking will make his first Alaskan
cruise on the Cyprus under the com
mand of Capt Morton, leaving here
June 1. The Duke de Montpensier
IS now cruising along the China
coast, in the palatial yacht Mekong,
formerly owned by Mortimer Singer,
the New York millionaire, and con-
sidered one of the finest afloat. The
Duke will visit Seattle and Alaska
next fall. He will come here on
his private yacht Mekong and will
make the inside passage trip 70
juneau. At Juneau he will join the
Prince of Monaco, ruler of the little
principality where Monte Carlo
casino is located, on big game
hunt in the interior of Alaska. The
Prince of Monaco hunted in Wyom-
ing last year and there heard of the
fine hunting to be found in Alaska.
He will come to Puget Sound on his
private yacht, Princess Alice. His
agents have been in Alaska for the
past month arranging for guides,
whom they expect to pick up at
Juneau. The Duke de Monpensier
is equally as well known as a
hunter, but generally uses camera
instead of a gun. He maintains
bomac In Cnaip and France The
announcement of the plans of these
two huntsmen means that three
members of the nobility will visit

as announcement has already been
made that the Duke d'Abruzzi, on a

would come here during the
summer.

TEN. Edwin Eckern, representing

Of Seattle, has applied to council
for a franchise. He states that his
company intends to build a sewage
and water system at once if granted
the franchise. The plans of the
company were to secure a fall of
200 feet by securing the water three
miles from town and this fall would
be sufficient to throw the water over
the top of any four-story building
which might be constructed. The
company also proposed to give the
city free water and three fire
hydrants free during the life of the
franchise.

Capt. Ben Durkee. familiar to all

Capt. Ben Durkee, familiar to all
Cordova people, was returning
passenger to Katalla on the steamer
Admiral Evans today, having spent
considerable time performing for a
motion picture company at Truckee,
Arizona. Captain Durkee came to
Alaska Fl years ago and made the
trip in a sailing boat that he built
at Everett. Later he gave up the
transportation business because the
population of cities on the coast OF
Alaska was not great enough to war
rant it at that time. With nothing
else to do, beach mining at Nome
attracted his attention, but about
10 years ago he went back to run
ming boats between upper Alaska
coast ports For several years he
has been captain of the steamer
Triton and works in the oil trade
between the Katalla and Boring
river oil fields and Cordova, Valdez,
and points on Cook inlet. His debut
as a. motion picture actor was
entirely unintentional, according to
the story that he tells, but ne says
that he had a whole lot of fun ont
of it.
