the foreign ports-quite half a mil lion stalwart men are needed for this; then shrewd men should be sent out with the ships to buy the raw mate rial that we need to transform with American brain, and to find new, rich lands for poor men to own and work, and hence all the signs point to the need of protection for American la- bor and the need of merchant ma rine to carry away our products, to bring back what we need, to be our perpetual letter of introduction to all the outside nations of the earth until all the world bows to the majesty of our flag and looks to the American people for all they need.-Cordova Times.

It's all over. Even shouting is de nied us good Republicans. The Am. erican people have spoken and we must abide by their majority voice This does not mean that the Repub- licans must let their organizations gd by default, or cease fighting and working for the principles in which they believe but it does mean that fl is the part of all good Americans to take oil their coats and help those elected to offices to make good. :.
 The Dispatch, speaking for itself, will be the first to offer congratula- tions to the successful candidates, and will do all in it's power to assist them in all worthy things, and will be the last to offer criticism, and then only in case candidates act justify such. Should Mir. Sulzer be elected the Dis patch will not pre-judge him and be- gin a campaign against him before he has fairly started for Washington. It will get behind him for everything that pertains to the industrial devei- opment and the social and moral ad- vancement of the Territory of Alaska. The Empire Builders of the North land are too busy to quarrel over tri- fles or allow or carry political bitter ness and prejudices past an election. And whoever may be elected, Wick ersham or Sulzer, all Alaskans should get behind the successful candidate and help him make good.-Juneau Dispatch.

FREDERICK PALMER. the noted

FREDERICK PALMER, the noted war correspondent, says that the war will continue for two years yet, or as long as America will finance it and ship food stuffs to the belligerents. Up to the present time, thanks to the financiers of New York, the warning nations have been fed better at a smaller cost to themselves than the citizens of this country. Flour, beef, clothing and other necessities are a bit cheaper in London than New York, and the American consumer is forced to see shipload after shipload of ne- cessities shipped out of the country while they pay double price for what they buy. In other words the con- sumers of the country are paying a large part of the cost of the war by allowing individuals in New York to gain control of and make millions off our staple foods.

 If these Eastern societies could re- alize the misery and suffering exist ing among the natives of Alaska they would probably do more to alleviate their condition; but their eyes are set on the distant shores of Europe and starvation and poverty in their own land is passed by.

OUR BELT OF ATMOSPHERE.
sn Thioknsss N is to the Earth as the
 Skin 10 to the Apple.

sn Thtoknees k ls to the Earth as the Skin is to the Apple. In q contribution to the year book of the department of agriculture Ros COG Nunn of the United States weather bureau compares the thickness of the atmospheric envelope that surrounds ihe earth with the diameter of the earth itself.
 The extreme limit of the earth's at mosphere above the surface of the earth Is estimated 10 be 1S0 miles. The earth's diameter Is approximately 5000 miles. But the density of the atmos phere decreases rapidly as altitude in creases. so that three-quarters of the mass of the atmosphere lies below the seven mile level
 Thus the solid earth has but a thin coating of air, at most only about one. fortieth as thick as the diameter of the earth. or if we consider only its really appreciable extent, which Is about for ty miles above the earth. only one two. hundredth as thick as the diameter of the earth. It b therefore c mere locating. not thicker. relatively speak. ing. than the skin on an apple of or dinary sisa When we consider the fact that storms operate only in that part of the atmosphere which lies within about seven miles of the earth, and chiefly within three miles. 1t is truly wonderful what mighty forces they generate and what vast energy they expend within that thin 1im Of gas.
 4 storm condition may cover one third of the United States. The dis turbance may be 1000 to 1 300 miles in diameter. but less than seven miles thick. Tn other words. the body of air in which those tremendous forces work Is of about the same proportions as a postcard.

As Hunters the Nativss Arc Wonders
 but Cannot Make 9oldlsrs.
 Battle history halts at the arctic cir cle. Beyond that human life Is so diff flcult to sustain that its willful waste is nnthinkable. Nations with a foot hold in the icy north recruit no armies In that frigid zone. Indeed. the men are of such meager stature and intel lect that military training Is next to impossible.
 The real natives of the arctic can endure hunger and fatigue. can march in their own fashion through hurri. cane and blizzard, but their value is rather to the explorer of the inhos- pitable north than to the soldier. As hunters they are wonderfully clever. yet they are curiously formal in ad- ministering the coup de grace.
 They will apologize to the fierce white bear which they have cornered before advancing to close attack with bone tipped arrows and spears, a duel in which the odds seem decisively on the bear destroying the man. They are therefore not towards in any sense, and few sportsmen would risk their lives against bear and wolf and wal rus protected only by futile weapons and their own personal dexterity.
 The Iapps and Samoyeds of arctic Russia, like the Eskimos of North America and Greenland, are so often compelled in times of dearth and famine to sacrifice their aged weak lings that this form of death has be- come vague religious and social prin- ciple with them.

A WELCOME TEST.

The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion has included the Canadian Pa cific Railway, the Grand Trunk Pa cific Railway, British Columbia and White Pass Steamship service in the probe instituted by Delegate James Wickersham of Alaska for political effect. The probe covers Alaska rates by water and rail and in itself is hardly worth detailing as the con- tention is so we'll known. The Amer ican lines, parties to the suit, are al- legged to be amenable to the Inter- state Commerce Commission, but the great test, and one that is most warmly welcomed is the effort of the steamships in the process of stran- gulation which the Commission is supposed to conduct under its limited powers. From a purely legal and diplomatic viewpoint, the two Cana dian steamship companies can, and they certainly should, ignore the summons of the Commission. Every law governing maritime commerce is distinctly at variance with an at- tempt by a United States railroad reg ulating body, created and operated upon political lines. to interfere with a foreign steamship. Without any assumption or suggestion that the Canadian lines are guilty or not gull ty of error or irregularity. the Ques- ton resolves itself into one whereby a foreign steamship company, oper- ating between Canadian and Ameri- can ports, is or Is not subject to the heckling laws of a commission ere ated for the purpose of regulating in- terior railroad rates within one na- tion.
 That the Interstate Commerce. Commission has no authority to regu- late American steamships in the coast wise trade will undoubtedly be finally passed upon.
 Every steamship man is delighted at the turn of affairs for it is a we'll known fact that the Canadian lines control large portion of the South eastern Alaska business owing to the superior class of vessels operating, and it is a foregone conclusion that they are going to continue such oper- ations without fear of interference from the notoriOusly inefficient and politically governed Interstate Com merce Commission.

OUR COUNTRY.

Has any one ever thought that nev- CT before the world depended so much upon the United States as it does right now!
 All the outside great nations are involved in almost a deathlock! half a dozen of the smaller nations are standing on the verge of starvation ; the strain is almost unbearable, and there is nowhere the world can turn it's eyes for any comfort save towsrd the Great Republic in its majesty and mercy and power.
 It shines out on the map of the world the one land of hope for the poor; the one land whose watchword is Liberty and Justice; the one land whose opportunities are open to all alike; the one spot that offers an asy- lum and hope to those who are broken in fortune and whose hearts are bowed down in sorrow.
 While all the atmosphere of Flu rope is being churned by the rever- berations of the appalling war; could our hearing be refined, we should hear in the humble and stricken homes, the daily and nightly talk, and the burden of it all would be that when at last the wars thunders shall be hushed, there must be some land where, in peace there will be a chance to pick up the raveled threads of lost fortune, and where there may be a chance to reweave them into fabrics to begin to hide the worlds nakedness.
 > And, looking around, there is but one spot where the world can center and begin this work. That is in our country, and for us to offer this asy- lum and to meet the requirements that will follow will tax our patriot ism and patience; our fortitude and tenacity of purpose; our sense of right and determination to be just, as they were never taxed before. It will need all the wisdom that we can obtain to steady the nation then. The first essential will be to find work for the host for they will all have to live, and there is no way to feed them, save that they be given a chance to earn the food they eat. And for what they produce market must be found. This involves the necessity of possess ing a great merchant marine; the building and navigating a great fleet of merchant ships. That involves first great work in the coal and iron mines; then the assembling of the materials on the shipyards where ships grow into form; then the ships to fulfill their purpose must go out against the storm and might to find
