of the experiments should be eN ended
 For instance. 1t Is quite possible that a hardy kind of sugar bee, could be produced here. and if il is found |, at they can be grown m the short seasons in the Panama .alley. certainly they will offer more Incentive for farmers than any kind Ji grain. for few acres will give more profit than d much larger area 5f grain.
 The chemical process n the susa: beets that produces the sugar is brought about by the action of sun shine. and the more the sun shineS the. greater will be tle percentage lf the sugar. In the Panama valley here is as much sunshine in a few 4eatas as there is in the major part year iu mot Out side places, md this should make the growing and maturing of the sugar beets much more rapid here than else .g.eie. Not only that but the per enlage of sugar in { C beets should .e increased as result of the con iinual daylight of the summer sed- on So it would be matter ol much interest to the public to know wi t uGar beets in this locality.
 Another line of experiments that should be followed out al the sta ion here concerns the breeding and raising of various kinds of domestic lnimals. It should be determined Shat kinds ot sheep could be raised 1ere 10 the best advantage. and if would also be of much interest to know how goats would thrive in this Innate.
 But all these things cannot be ac .omplished unless the government will enlarge its farm here. and prop arly stock it. This will cost money, put as the government is spending Fast sums yearly for experimental 5urpo- es in each of the other state~ tnd territories, more should come ele fyr that purpose.
 IL is even more necessary at the present. time than previously for the ovcIumenI to experiment ere, for he new railroad is certain to bring
 are=t many farmers to the inter pr of Alaska. and these are entitled 10 get as much aid as possible from he government.
 II would seem that if the people yho are farming in this vicinity would write to the department ol agriculture in Washngton and ask Tor seeds. explaining exactly what they want to test they would be royided with just what they want, n this way the farmers and L e sXperimental station can cooperate or good of the farmer

LABOR OPPOSING WAR.

Two weeks ago dispatches from Scotland stated Il at the Labor party there had issued d request to the common people not to enter the an arbitrary action will bring results, but the campaign against warfare that the laboring people of Great Brita.n has started seems to Le meet ing with approval ill Canada. and probably in other parts of the great empire. as well.
 In recent editorial published in the Dawson News, the plan of the laboring people for securing better peace conditions in Europe is en- dorsed. It is predicted in this edi- torial that the end of [. present war will bring about q better un derstanding between the people ot the nations of Europe. and that by closer acquaintanceship there will be less chance for future wars
 The Labor Leader, the organ pub lished by the Independent Labor party of England, has endorsed d pltn o1 forming all of Europe into one general government, to be modelled upon the same general scheme as is the United States, in which each country will ave a voice in determining interstate questions.
 This plan looks good, but there is the great obstacle to overcome In the matter of the present monarch ical rule of those countries. Any how, it is of interest to know that the common people of Europe will ting an end to international strife on the other side of the Atlantic.
 The suggestions set forth by the Labor Leader are as follows:
 Il. Frontiers should represent na- tionalities and should be determined not by military conquests, but by natural divisions of race. religion, language, and custom.
 ''2. Subject peoples should be granted self-government and should be allowed to decide by plebiscite whether they desire to be under the suzerainty of any power
 8. The policy of the balance ot power by which the nations of Flu rope have been divided into antagon- istic camps should be superseded by league of Europe. of which all na- tions should be members and uniting whom there should be an interns- tional body to judge all qualrels and differences.
 "4. The constitution of each na tion should be democratized. The people should be given full control of the legislature, and women's claim to citizenship should be recoG nized. Secret diplomacy should be entirely abolished and foreign policy pldceu uHueI tHe JullSulCttOIi LII Ildt' liament.
 "5. The armament industries Of the different nations should be tax en out of private hands and placed under state control, so that synd cates may no longer be tempted to exploit national jealousies for profit
 "6. The ideal towards which We should move is a United States of Europe, ultimately of the world ID which national armies and navies are replaced by an international police force"

The legisla ture may pass law that will have for it's purpose the interference with the law rassed by the people. but 1t is doubtful if it will be found valid for the constitution of the state has put the right of voting on laws in the hands of the people, and it is not to be supposed that the legislature can rise above that.
