NO ISSUE.

The German government seems determined to leave President Wii- son no patriotic issue for the No- yember elections that might offset in some way the evident intention of tho Republicans to stage their little political drama called "The Jingo: or At tho Drop of the Hat
 One cannot question the direction of the keynote speech of Root who seems to have out-Rocseveltcd Roosevelt in his eagerness for an entry into the War Game on high principles. That this could have been offset by tho conversion of President Wilson to preparedness was not quite clear, but if to uphold the American Interpretation of sub marine warfare's connection with in ternational law, relations had been severed, Wilson would have com pletely taken tho wind from the re- publican sails.
 But the German willingness to concede the demands of Wilson has knocked whatever consolaton the democrats may have had from the strong note, sky high.
 The almost certain fact that the progressives will unite with the re- gular rcpublicans bodes no good for the possible democratic victory thai is hoped for. The democratic party is minority party and the President was elected by a minority of all the votes cast in the election. Tho pro- gressives and republicans under any condition that could be imagined, outnumber the democrats and why as in some quarters Wilson's re-elec- ton is considered certain is fer from clear.

THE ANTHRACITE SETTLEMENT

The settlement of the anthracite coal difficulties between employers and miners is in the nature. of a compromise The miners get an in- crease, recognition to a certain ex- tent. and are unquestionably In q stronger position today than they have ever been before. But their gains have been very moderate. Their increase ,s one to which they have long ago been entitled end one which under ordinary circumstances should have been forthcoming years ago.
 On the other hand never again, in all probability will the miners face such exceedingly favorable con. ditions for winning out their de- mands. The main supply of labor is denied operators, There is in some camps an actual shortage. The con tinuous supply that immigration ar forded is practically cut off. In ldCl IL WdS CdcS WhCIC tnC CiD- ployers would have been compelled to give in
 The same can be said of tho bi- luminous coal mining conditions all though the gains made there were somewhat more substantial. Even there however the gains were not what they should be and what they would have boen had the United Mine Workers acted with the needed industrial solidarity to enforce in full this demands. When unions accept compromises when every condition is favorable what are they able to when con ditions are unfayorable in these in dustries. Is a contract worth what lit means simply because it carries . check-off?

A LABOR QUESTION.

The president of the Alaska Fish Co. who lives betimes In Ketchikan returning from trip to the Hawaii an Islands, we are told, came back declaring that the Japanese, native Hawaiians and Chinese who are born under the American flag hail with delight their American citizenship and will make splendid American citizens.
 Now ell that is quite possible and not at all improbable. But ia view of the attitude taken up by can neries heretofore, on, suspects th:r the enthusiasm of MT. Johnstone the president aforesaid is duo not so much to the patriotism of the Am- erican born orientals IS to the fact that they arc available as cheap labor supply for the canneries.
 And in this connection, it may be well to say, labor sEou.d have no objection to orientals making a liy- ing by working TOT wages pro'iOe' that they asked for and insisted upon getting the standard which or ganizations uphold. And furthermore when labor fails to organize these and then turns and denounces such labor without putting forth any effort to aid them in getting better wages, labor is failing i'll it's duty to itself and is acting in wholly in- consistent not to say illogical man. ner.
 To close the doors of organization to orientals and then abuse them for working below tho standard of such organization is both foolish and dangerous policy.

NOME HARBOR.

Doubtless as general proposition the erection of a substantial break water and hGrbor for all Nome shipping is a most dostrcble thing But quite evidently the enormous costs of such construction work dis mays tho department ard it will not be considered.
 The necessity for port for the mosquito fleet ic however urgent Taere will after the war be revi- val in the trading industry and with out question it would be desirable to have the mouth of Snake river in such condition as to have it available foc mosquito shipping.
 The costs of q brcakwatcr such as was in the mind of the govern ment officials would be too great to expect that chunk of pork would be distributed in those wilds where the representative in Congress has not a vote, but that's neither here nor thero.
 The most important feature of the departments reply to the Chamber of Commerce is the fact that 1t is considered too costly and the matter of life protection which it would af- ford is considired too trivival to even consider. Well we live in days when human life is considered cheap. Compensation ect dcvicors vie with one another in evolving the cheap est possible compensation. and If In tte advisability of pubEc works and a consideration pro and con, one question and one only, the costs Of construction, cnter irto the matter as of vital import, while the human life factor is ignored, we have only to recognize that that is tho usua! system.
 some day there will come time whon the saving of human life Will be considered of even more vital importance than the cost of construc- tioa, and anything that will rebound to human benefit and human life protection will receive premier con .siderGtion.
