Yesterday and Today.

In conversation with a representa-
tive of The Star, former Senator Bur
ton, on the eve last week of leaving
Washington for his home in Ohio,
said:
mo man should be deferred by any
opinion as to national defense held
before the war befell the world. All
conditions have changed and Will
continue to change. A new condition
confronts us.
"A new condition confronts u.s.
generally. The national defense is
not the only question which our leg
islators should consider less with re-
gard to their previous votes and de-
liverances than with due regard to
what the new times demand.
Take the tariff. The war has pro-
duced situation unlike any we have
ever known before Our revenues are
running behind. Our imports have
fallen off. Our exports, abnormally
large in a few lines, will fatten out
as soon as the war ceases. New in
dustries are necessary, and should be
established, but, according to confess
sions of low tariff men themselves, in
order to thrive must have a liberal
measure OF protection. How out-of-
date now appears all that volume of
talk about free trade and the coun-
try's salvation!
Take the question of an American
merchant marine How much we
need one is confessed by the Presi-
dents desire to put the government
into the sea carrying business. He is
a democrat and an opponent of sub
sides, and yet turns to state social
ism as means of meeting the emer-
gency. His proposition has divided
his party, and if urged is likely to
fail the second time in Congress:
Take the question of government
assistance to the farmers. When that
was proposed by the populists it was
laughed at by both democrats and re-
publicans. Now the cotton planters,
the tobacco planters and the corn
planters are demanding it and they
have champions in both of the old
parties. Populism is dead, but its
spirit begins to rule us from its urn
Take the old Jeffersonian maxim
that the best government is that
which governs least. The party of
Jefferson, still quoting him and con-
juring with his name, is now invok-
ing Capitalization to the limit.
And there are other questions
which until recently brought express
sions from public men not at all to
the point today.
This is not to say that the things
now advocated are in every case the
things that should be adopted. The
new state of affairs has produced
multitude of suggestions, many of
which are reckless and unwise. But
it is true, as Mr.. Burton says in the
matter of the national defense, that
we are today confronted with condi-
tions which require dealing with, not
with view OF preserving individual
consistency, but with the patriotic
purpose OF ministering to the coun-
try's good in the light of latest de-
veiopments.

STEAMER DORA LONG
 OVERDUE AT SEWARD

SEATTLE, Jan. 9.--Grave fears are entertained for the safety of the steamer Dora which left Kodiak for Seward on January third. The Dora
 should have reached Seward, even in
 stress of weather, several days ago and 1t is feared she has foundered during the severe storm of q few days ago. The Dora is the mail boat on tho Southwestern Alaska run and Is quite old and it is possible she is delayed somewhere between Kodiak and Sew ard but no word has been received from the ship since leaving Kodiak which gives rise to the belief that she may have been wrecked, if not is probably somewhere along the coast in distress.
