There is no room in the world for a failure. This is illustrated in the case of Lord Grey, foreign secretary of England. A few months ago Lord Grey was lauded to the skies for his diplomatic skill in persuading Italy to forsake her Teutonic allies and go over to the side of England and France. Today the same people are demanding his resignation because he was unable to keep the Balkans neutral Lord Grey is one of En- glands greatest men, and his coun- sells have always been for peace. The English populace forced him into the war and now they are roundly SCOT ing him for his one failure. England has produced the greatest diplomats the world has ever seen, and Lord Grey ranks among the highest. His counsel, at first, was against war, but when the excited populace forced him to vote for it, he put his shoulder to the wheel and has produced wonder full results. As a brainy, conscien- tious statesman, Lord Grey stands without peer.

GIVE US MORE SAFEGUARDS.

Thirty-five boats wrecked in ten
 years upon the Alaskan coast; mil
 lions of dollars in property destroyed;
 hundreds of lives lost; inconvenience and embarrassment to the merchant
 and the traveler-this is the great
 roster of our marine disasters. And
 in nine cases out of ten it could have
 been prevented by fog horn here,
 lighthouse there, a rock buoyed, or other safeguards those who travel are
 entitled to. In no case has it been
 proven that the officer of the ship
 was negligent in his duty, or taking
 foolhardy chances. In all cases 1t has
 been demonstrated that our coastal
 line will never be safe for travel,
 summer or winter, until several mill
 lion dollars are spent in surveying,
 buoys, lighthouses, fog horns and marine bells. Forty per cent of our
 steamers have gone to the bottom; in
 the past month one-fourth of the lin- CTS plying between Anchorage and Seattle have found a watery grave, and that the loss of life was not enor-
 nous is to be credited to the seaman
 ship of the officers and crews of these
 vessels rather than to any appliances granted them by a careless govern
 ment. Isn't is about time that our people send in remonstrance large enough that will cause our National lawmakers to set up and take notice? With the millions and millions of dol lars spent in pork barrel appropria- |tions, doesn't 1t seem that the lives of our people could be better protect led? If two or three lives lost on a passenger steamer in the war zones cause such a wave of sentiment. why
 does not the loss of hundreds of lives in ocean travel cause greatrr Ip- heaval of popular sentiment? Had a
 foreign nation sunk the Eastland the people of the Unitsd States would have enlisted to man to revenge the wrong done. Is 1t any lesser wrong to consider the hundreds lost by an

Valdez is to be congratulated upon having the only bank in the territory that went out of business and still paid it's depositors dollar for dollar. The officers of the defunct bank have done much to establish a reputation for square dealing in this city, and should they ever go into the banking business again, the fact that they quit square with everyone, and with no stigma attached to the business will be a valuable asset.

 vations. There has evidently always been in their thought contingen- cy in which they might reserve for another country than the United States the loyalty which the terms of their admission to citizenship in the United States demanded. And, thanks to a political system which is an abuse rather than an expression of democracy, entrance in the coun- try and entrance into citizenship have been cheapened in the sight of these people, and the more ignorant they have been of the country's ideals the cheaper have the privileges be- twed with citizenship seemed to them.
 Chicago, Omaha and Denver pa pers are clamoring for amendments to our immigration laws. They claim that within the last few weeks cir cumstances have combined to bring the people of the United States around sharply to sober and serious contemplation of what might be termed the nations personnel. They have found other nations issuing or ders to their fellow citizens of alien nativity, and they have found these fellow citizens in thousands of in stances, responding to those orders with alacrity. They have found am- bassadors dictating to United States residents and citizens the lines upon which they should shape their con- duct toward the United States. They have become cognizant of threats, open and covert, made against resi- dents and citizens of this country who have failed to respond to every of the governments whose authority they had long since sup posed to abjure. They have had it rubbed in upon them in variety of ways that, under the present system of receiving immigrants, and granting the United States has had no control over the hordes that under normal conditions scramble through the gates as needless of the extended to them as they are of the obligations that go with it.
 The European war has revealed in our immigration laws far more serious than any hitherto known. If the United States is to build up defensible nation, her bull wark must be her citizens; her whole strength must lie in the fact that they stand by her to the end; di vided allegiance brings divided na- tion. With the close of the present war this country will again be flooded with aliens, seeking to escape the enormous war taxes of European na- military exactions. It will be for the United States to say upon what terms they shall come in, and how they shall comport themselves after their en- trance. Whether or no the veteran conscript, who has once turned his back upon our shores, shall be allow ed to again take the place of an American in the mines and factories rests with our government. Shall we open the gates wide to the horde of Europeans who clamor at our or shall we close them tightly? Or shall we allow entrance upon the condition that they over throw all allegiance to their native country and become bona fide citi- zens? This seems the better way. We have not importuned them to make their homes here, and if they insist upon the privilege, let them pay the price.
 The dual hyphenated citizenship is our gravest peril.

Comparing the progress of the Fed eTal league in it's fight against organ ized baseball with that of the A1neri- can league as an infant, John Nj. Ward, business manager of the Brook lyn Federals. declares that in one sea son the Feds have accomplished more than Ban ,Johnson's organization did in it's first two years. MT. Ward who will retire from baseball on Feb. 15 to devote his entire attention to his law practiye, insists that the new league has now reached a point where it is prepared to carefully pick play CTS sought from the ranks of organ ized baseball instead of Tecklessly raiding. In less than a year more than seventy captures of big leaguers have been recorded. in the first two years of its eXpansion-in fact, up to the time peace was declar- ed in 1903-the American league got only 109 players from it's established rival at a time all leagues were sprinkled with nigh class talent fore from a F to an eight-club circuit.
 'One of the reasons urged last spring against the Federal leagues chances of success said MT. Wand, was that there were not enough players for three big leagues. By recent legiSia- tion, the leading leagues in organized baseball have prepared to unload play CTS. How to get rid of the surplus and keep the men in line for organized baseball provides problems that per plex the same men who last spring said there were not enough players available. The Federal league is in a position to take advantage of the eff fects of business depression, which has resulted in general curtailment of expenses by club owners who con- tended last spring that the new league was a joke.
 Until last February scarcely any one in the metropolitan district had ever heard of the Federal league. It was not until what was practically its fourth season and it's third year of existence as a recognized opponent of the National league that the Ameri- can league was able to even consider New. York as a member of it's circuit. The expansion of the Federal league is assured because of the foothold gained after the most remarkable fight against tremendous odds that ever was chrOnicled in the history of sport.
 The Federal league in my opinion now has enough established stars to proceed in the development of young players. When it is taken into con Sideration that clubs in the National and American leagues with more than 50 players enrolled must reduce to 21 and 22 respectively by May l, it can be understood that splendid baseball prospects will be eager to enlist with the present th1rd mayor league. The number of veteran players signed on long term contracts. leaves such a mar row margin between the total of the men thus held by organized baseball and that of the player limit of 21 as to make it impossible for 70. B. major league clubs to legally hold enough promising young players to answer the public demand for new faces"
 As veteran player, manager and student of the game, MT. Ward de- clared that the Federal league is in a. better playing positins~ to supply high

Johnson-WiIIard Booked For45Rounds
Heavyweight Championship Battle of the World Will Take Place Juaraze Mexico March 6th--Johnson Guaran- teed $3O,OOO Win, Lose or Draw-Wiard Will Finish Training at Fl Paso.

New York, Jan. Slack Johnson and Jess Willard will meet in 45 round bout for the heavyweight cham ico. on Saturday, March next. Final arrangements to this effect were made here today after other bids were re- ceived from Havana, Cuba and Tijua- na, Mexico
 Johnson has been guaranteed ESQ., 900, win, lose or draw, while Willard has been assured a minimum of $15,- 900 and may receive a much larger sum by sharing interests in the af- fair with Jack Curley, the chief pro- motor, and his associates.
 Other offers to stage bout come from Billy Gibson, of this city, represent ing a syndicate that was desirous of bringing the bout to Havana Cuba, and Jim Croffoth, She California pro- motor, who wished to have 1t held near Tiajuanas Mexico. Curley and the other men interested believed, however that the assurance of financial backing and concessions made by the Mexican officials and several business men of Fl Paso, Texas, for the Juarez pro- position promised better results. The bout will take place in the Juaraz race track and the mana agement of the racetrack promised suspension of y facilitate the erection of stands there for. the accommodation Of spectators
 When Johnson signed the articles a few weeks ago in Europe, Curley handed him $1,000 for expenses and today sI,000 more was cabled to him at Buenos Aires, from which port he will sail tomorrow morning on his way to Juarez.
 Jess Willard, who has been in this city 9GS few days past will leave to- morrow with his manager, Tom Jones' for a brief stay at. Excelsior Springs Mo, and then proceed to Fl. Paso where he will finish his training for the contest. He will reach the Fl Pa so quarters about January 25, in all probability. He expects to weigh about 23o pounGs when he enters the ring.
 Johnson and his handlers will es- tablish training quarters at Juarez as soon as he arrives there. The $2.- 00O which has been given to Johnson for travelling and training expenses will not be deducted from his guaran- tee of s30,000
