The United States is the only na- tion in the world in which new man every four years, is elected to take charge of the army and navy. By the time a man has reached a stage where he begins to understand the needs of the manufacturers, he is retired and and another inexperienced man put in power. Every other nation places the affairs of the war and navy de- partments under supervision of man skilled in the business and allows him to work out his own notions of eff ciency with the option Of firing him if he does not make good. A civilian at the head of military affairs rem ders abortive the years of experience gained at military academies and places the army at the mercy of the politicians. Therefore. don't. blame the army if it is not all that you ex- pect it to be. Blame the measly poli- tical system which brings about this inefficiency.

This office is in receipt of several communications from the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, asking our aid in preventing the establishment of a governmental steel armor plate plant. As these gentlemen neglected to send the editor any part of the $75,OOO,OO0 they received from the last appropri- ation by Congress, we must respect fully decline to enter into the con- troversy. Had they sent us one mill lion of their gains, or even seven hun dred thousand, we would have devot- ed the next two issues of the Pros pector to showing our citizens where it is to the governments interest to pay S40O per ton for srInor plate. when they could make it for half the price, but as it is. the struggle for bacon and beans is too intense in Valdez for us to lend our feeble ef- forts toward furnishing juicy T-bones for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.

MT. Wickersham. Col. Willard sald that he was positive the delegate could not be nominated at Seward. When asked what his position would be if the nomination was rendered to him, he said that he had been ap- preached a number of times by prom inent republicans to permit his name to be presented to the convention, but under the present conditions, he would not accept the nomination,
 Under the conditions existing when the steamer left here it would be rash prophet who would attempt to foretell who would be the choice of the convention. At present the predominant sentiment appears to be against the delegate, but nearly two days must elapse before the conven- tion convenes, and in that time much may happen.

ENGLAND'S WAR DEBT

The cost of the war in dollars and cents is graphically portrayed by the statement of the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, and his estimates for the next year. He shows that the English debt has reached the enormous sum of $10,0OO,00O,O00 as against $3,5O0,OO0,0O0 before the outbreak of the war He estimates the war expenditures for the coming year at s25.0OO,OOO a day. It is admitted that the exchequer plans that had been worked upon for years had been completely set aside on ac- count of the war and that a new system to carry the debt and provide for its reduction must be devised as soon as the war shall end.

WICK'S XX.

If Wickersham gets the nomination for Delegate at the Republican con- vention at Seward it will be great surprise to those in the know, and can only result by Wickersham be- coming amenable to the discipline of that party. Wickersham started out with every prospect of being the regu- lar nominee of the party. and with carefully laid plans with Republican leaders as to the course to be pur- sued to gain the nomination. But, with his characteristic double-deal- ing he flirted with Progressives and Democrats, and. for fear of losing few votes from the followers who placed him in office as an lndepen- dent, he double-crossed his packers. Wick may be elected by independents again, but if he is, block Of wood could produce as satisfactory results for the Territory, as he will be ig- nored by both parties for another Congressional term and the Territory will suffer accordingly. Wickersham as a republican or Wickersham as a democrat could do the Territory a vast amount of good but Wickersham as a Progressive or Wickersham as a Mugwump will prove to be non- entity. Whatever influence Con- gressman has depends upon his con- stituency. To get recognition mem- Der he must belong to one or the oth- CT fthe dominating parties. Progress siveism is dead-too dead to skin and all the abler opponents of that doctrine have returned to the Repub- ]ican party. including it's progenitor, the Honorable Theodore Roosevelt.
 Wickersham does not deserve the nomination at the hands of the re- publicans, after his three-ring circus of last week, and it will be chasten- ed and well-disciplined Wick that will receive it.

A Fairbanks paper states that pros pectors are abandoning the search for gold and are turning to the pnore plentiful metal tungsten. As five per cent tungsten ore is valued at about $500 per ton, we fail to see where tungsten ore is less valuable per ton than the general run of gold ore.
