"A REUNITED PARITY
lNew York Worldl

(New York World
 "I desire" telegraphs Mir. Hughes to Gov Johnson of California "a reunited party as the essential agency of national progress
 This Gov. Johnson also desires. as a candidate for Senatorial election by that party and with him, un- questionably stand many Progres0ives including thir' tytwO of the fifty members of the National commit tee But there are other Progressyes in California and elsewhere who. like Francis J. Heney once Gov Johnsons associate refuse to sink in such one sided merger their party identity and ideals.
 The outand-out Progressives note that Mr. Hughes does not call for union of parties, but reunited party Different as he may be in other ways he re- sembes such machine leaders as Penrose and Cannon in viewing Progressivism solely as Republican schism He will not meet the wanderers half way. His welcome is hearty. but he cngs to the shelter of the old home. He speaks of "our common purpose but neither the records and the character nor in the declaration of policies Of the men who ruled at Chi cago there promise of attainment for the purposes of Progressiyism. The standpat leaders invite Pro gressiyes not to be fair compromise Of dyergng views, but to surrender

COUNCILMAN KINGS MISSION

Juneau's best wishes go with Councilman J. H. King who is on his way to Washington to endeayor to secure the passage of bill that will permit the people of this city to get school house. The need for the legislation that he asks for testified to by the credentials he takes with him. and the strongest os these is the agreement of the business of the city to sign notes for the thousands that would be necessary for the construction Of school house if only there was assurance that the securities thus created would be strictly legal and bankable
 It is not proposed by the City Council and the School Board to create great bonded debt for Ju- neau The sole purpose is to issue just sufficient amount of bonds to run for such period only as would allow the city to retire them by applying the available funds for that purpose It is proposed as legal means Of enabling the city to do something that is too great a burden for or two years Income but that may be easily by the income for five or six or ten years. It is just the sort of financing that business men do in private life every day in the year and make 1t win.
 More power to Councilman King.

ALAsKAs FUNNY PAPERS.

Sometime ago The Empire printed story-and 1t was the first newspaper publication Of it-which rected that Chairman Clark Of the public buildings committee of the House Of Representatives asked Delegate Wickersham to furnish precedents showing that 1t was customary for Congress to provide the
 funds for the construction Of territorial capitos the committee would only allow $15OOOO additional funds for a public building that place. and that Delegate wickersham-or his clerk-went through the statutes at.large examined the bills providing gover ments for the other Territories and made list of the ap- propratious that had been made for capitol buildings and mailed 1t to Chairman Clark, who forthwith al lowed S3OO0OO for the Juneau building. Now an Alaskan newspaper attacks The Empire for not admit ting that Delegate wckersham got the money for the Juneau capitol building by this heroic two hours work searching the statutes and dicating letter to his stenographer that he asked to do by the chair
 man of a committee. Alaska has some funny papers.

The Tariff a Paramount Issue

The result Of the primary elections
in Michigan and in Wisconsin have
excited no little comment here. In
the case Of the former, Mr.. FoId's
large support is shown conclusively TO
have come in large measure from the
city Of Detroit where his own employees
are numbered by tens Of thousands;
and the consequent result upon the
vote Of the State, where only listless
interest was manifest, is looked upon
as merely in the light OF personal
tribute TO Mr.. Ford.
In Wisconsin, however, far differ
ent Interpretation is put upon the fail
ure Of Senator LaFollette to secure the
full Endorsement OF Badger Republi'
cans for his presidential aspirations.
Not few are asking il it means that
the Senator has finally lost his grip at
home. LaFolette's career in Wiscon'
has been one Of steady manifestation
Of power. From the days Of his first
attempt to secure the governorship
down through his stirring activities a:
an executive and later as Senator and
the leader Of his party and as the domi
nant power in the State, he has neve
failed 10 demonstrate his control. l
is remembered, Of course, that he va
unsuccessful 10 his purpose 10 delea

ed to cut the prices paid 10 the Ameri-
can producer. AT the same time, the
records Of this Administration show
that the cost OF living in this country
was not reduced, but on the contrary,
was slightly increased. The producer
received for his commodities a less
figure than he would have received
but for the tariff reduction, but the
consumer bought goods at no less price.

We did not wish an UNIV arranted
surplus, which means excessive tax
aiion," said Hon. Andrew Peters OF
the Ways and Means Committee,
when debating the Democratic tariff
bill. Mr.. Peters is now Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, position
which gives him ample opportunity to
inform himself that, under the law
which he helped 10 frame, we now
have an unwananted deficit together
with excessive taxation. The law
blew out at both ends.

about McGovern's downfall at the polls
and gave one Of the three additional
Senators with whom the Democrats
have swollen their majority in the up
per house. But taken By and large,
LaFollette has Of right considered him,
self invincible at home.
This primary however, has afforded
the first opportunity TO make direct
test OF his standing with his constitu'
ents since he gave the only Republi-
can vote for the passage Of the Under
wood tanff in the Senate. Wisconsin
has felt the effects Of Underwoodism,
in common with other States and il
is believed here that LaFollette's fail
ure to carry more than bare majority
in his State this spring is in more or
less direct consequence Of his CO oper'
alton with the Democrats in striking
down protection in the Senate. II
this conclusion is correct it emphasizes
to an unusual degree the extent TO
which protection is lodged in the
minds Of the voters as cardinal issue
in this years presidential canvass.
