FRIENDLNEss AT NEW LONDON

We are indebted to David Lawrence of The New York Evening Post for a description of the genera appearance Of things in and around the conferences between the representatives Of the Mexican and American governments at New London.
 From it We learn that the daily association of the six commissioners has very much the aspect of a social affair. The commissioners always dine to- gether and the ladies of the party Of whom there are a number, take their part in making tue conference as little like formal negotiation between great na- uons as possible. There are strolls along the sea shore casual meetings and chats in the lobbies of the hotel and general air oC frendliness as far as possible from the attitude of men who deal on sus- picion and at arms length This pleasant uSormality Mr. Lawrence attributes largely to the genial and tactful nature Of Secretary Lane who presldes over the conferences but however it came about the fact is clear that the commissioners on both sides are getting acquainted but growing to like each other
 The whole thing is typical of what the two coun. tries ought to do and need to do f there is to be lasting peace and good feeling between them Un- derstandirg and reciprocal confidence are the two things wanting in the relations of the two nations ard those things do come by war nor by the long distance interchange of signed sealed beribboned documents They by just the sort Of intercourse We are seeing at New London, and in 1t all we may see increasing hope that the Mexican trouble IS coming at end.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S CAMPAIGN.
Seattle Times)


 Mir Wilson's strenuous refusal to consider his jaunt to Omaha as @ political tour furnishes ample excuse for a sober appraisal of the campaign he has conducted up to this time It is not going beyond the facts to that to many Democrats it has been surprising campaign, not to say disappointing one.
 With a wonderful record for domestic Legislation 10 back him. with foreign policy that is indorsed by mil lions Of his cOuntrymen and with the opposition com prsing most amazing hodgepodge Of conflicting in' terests that ever supported a Republican candidate the Chief Executive has adopted course that neces sarily has kept him on the defensive.
 On what political grounds can such policy be based?
 ness in the Democratic position. Wilson's opportuni ties for attack practically were-and still are-un limited. He could pick to pieces every one of the gauzy addresses made by his opponent Moreover he could. from the first have held the Republicans up public rdicule simply by pointing out the asonish ing character of the support given Mir Hughes by the merged (Only partisan would say reunited) Repubh can-PrOgresive party
 Wilson had issues-scores of them Hughes had none, until he bounced the Adamson bill as hungry cat pounces on an imprudent mouse.
 Wilson could have cited practical labors in the public interest and could have backed his citations by laws the statute books Hughes could have countered only with promises.
 Wilson could have made red.hot patriotsm.drst utterances during period of grave national stress Hughes had nothing to offer a hackneyed Am erica First" enunciatOn which never at any time rose higher than his first declaration for "unduted Americanism.

KUsKoKwM BRANCH RAILWAY SYSTEM
lAnchorage Timesl

The Alaskan Engineering Commission need not imagine that their work will be ended with the com pleton of the trunk line railway system leading from the southern coast of Alaska to the interior work upon which is now well under way, because we have another big job mapped out for them when this line Is completed We refer Of to the branch line leading from the main line to the Kuskokwim river
 The construction of this branch railway system is second only in importance to the major project now under construction With the two great interior wa. terways in Alaska tapped by the iron horse, the Territory will be pretty well supllied with railway transportation, so far as trunk lines are concerned When the trunk line system under construction is completed, the Commission will have adequate equipment ana nave lts organization so that work could immediately be naugurated on the branch line. if funds were appropriated for the purpose To get the necessary appropriation roughly speaking, ten million dollars will be the job that lies before the of the resources of Alaska We do not believe that there will be any difficulty at all in securing the necessary appropriation We believe that the building ot the major project will prove beneficial toward the development of the latent resources which it will tap that the Congress will readily appropriate the funds necessary for the enlarged development scheme comprehended by the Kuskokwim branch line
 To those who may not be familiar with the geo. graphy Of the country through which the proposed Kuskokwim branch will pass, shall briefly outline the route as taken from reconnaissance map drawn by MT. J. l.. MePherson who. under the Taft admin istration railway commission. was detailed to nyes ugate this region.
 The branch road would leave the main line at some point between Willow Creek and Little Willow creek would cross the Susitna river below the mouth of Little Willow, the Kahiltna river and Lake creek thus tapping the Cache creek gold placer camp follow the Squentna and Happy rivers to Rainy Pass, through Rainy Pass to the Kuskokwm country and thence proceed in northwesterly direction Me Grath, trading post on the Kuskokwim river
 Such railway system would give transportation 10 the known camps of Cache Creek, the upper Kus- Sokwim, InnokO Iditarod. Ruby and Marshall City md along its other gold camps would undoubt edy spring up fine freight and passenger traffic would be developed.
 Of course Anchorage would be the chief construc ion base of the KuskoSwm branch lne as 1t is now f the major project Hence, we who live here have nore than passing interest in the beginning of this important construction work
 All that is needed to bring about this additional construction work is to get the Interior camps that gil be benefited to work in conjunction with us he matter

THREE GLASSES FOR wcKERsHAM.

The people. having before them the record of Judge Wickersham-the official record as it has been written down in public documents, largely the words that he has uttered written into silent speeches" there is left only three classes to vote for him. m Hero worshippers who care nothing for facts. who would believe that anything right that wickersham did because he did. who are for or against any. thing that comes up whenever and wherever Wick ersham is for against 1t and simply because he is for against it. and who change their positions on all questions whenever and wherever Wicker sham changes and do t because he changes @ those who are for him because they are against some. body-those who vote their grouches their hates their vengeance their envy and S) those who hope to profit through association with him. and these may be divided into two casses-those who think he Is bandwagon chafteur and those who realize that their only chance to land anything is through him.
 While probably the absurd. the least re- prehensble Of these classes and we are optimistic enough to believe the most numerous. are the hero worshippers.

LITERALLY TRUE. BUT

The Democratic campaign committee says
 "Czarsm has been abolished in the House
 Of Representatives and Congress is once
 more delberotve body" Yet the Demo
 cratic congress operates under the rules
 passed by its Republican predecessor under
 which the naming Of committees was taken
 away from the speaker and the present
 system inaugurated.-( (PostIntelligencer)
 The statement is literally true but the rules were forced on the Republican majority when the Democrats and progressive Republicans defeated Speak CT Cannon and took charge of the House of Repre- sentatiyes during the 6Oth Congress- With the facts in connection with the action in mind Speaker Cannon said that the Republican party was no longer in control Of the House. He said: This House is not a Republican body"

YUKON POTATO CROP
Dawson Newsl
the matter

(DdWSOn NeWS)
 Farmers of Dawson and vicinity are just complet ing the digging of of the largest and finest crops of potatoes ever raised in this region The potato production in the Territory this year will aggregate in value perhaps $25,OOO to $3OOOO This splendid sum will be kept at home and will help materially to hasten the development of the country and thus to build up the industries of the region permanent lines.
 The pioneer growers of potatoes in this region at first received little encouragement. While the spuds grew in soil first prepared, they were in- ferior. Owing 10 the ground being less understood than and it's natural inclination in many instances to be sour or oyerdamp when first plowed, it was not then capable of the best production. Now the farmers have learned how to handle the ground to the maximum of advantage and have improved the conditions and the product wonderfully
 Whereas a few years ago the Yukon potatoes were scarcely suitable for baking and most of them were soggy when prepared in any form Today they are nearly all large, dry and mealy and equal if not superior in many cases, outside potatoes Bur. by selection or the best potatoes annually from local crops for planting and the improvement in ground and various conditions that spud could be evolved here free from water and equal to any. That his prediction is coming true means great deal to this 'ast northern region.
 The home grower deserves the fullest congratula- ion and encouragement, and every Yukoner who eats he home product will be paying the highest and most ractical form of compliment to the grower and at he same time helping the country in general by eeDing the money here at home where all can have chance at it so long as it circulates.
