rHE PROPOSED STATEHOOD CAMPAIGN

Under Statehood all of the costs Of government. including the half million or more that 1t takes to
 run the courts and enforce the criminal statutes the per diem mileage and contingent expenses of the Leg sature the salaries of the executive and ministerial officers and other costs now borne by the Federal government would fall upon the people of the Terri tory For this and other reasons as Delegate Wick ersha told the people of the Westward. Congress win be slow to bestow the privileges and obligations that follow full union with the ssterhood of States upon ,he people of this Territory
 Delegate wlckersham said while at the Westward on his way to Washington attend the present ses- sion of Congress that Alaska is not now ready for Statehood but that she will be ready for 1t by the lime she gets t He said with truth. that campaigns for Statehood have always been long drawn out affairs and the Alaska campaign for that boon is likely to be one that win not be won n year or few years For that reason. he said 1t would be well to start it early
 Let us conoede the soundness Of the Delegates conclusions Then the question before the people of Alaska is wholly one as whether or not Alaska is to stumble along with it's present form of government or whether the people are to have the full measure of Territorial form of government while they are mak ng the fight for Statehood.
 We are an agreed that Alaska is not ready for Statehood now but that she will be before she gets it. In the meantime the development of the Territory is being delayed because her people pOweress to govern themselves. They cannot build school house bridge create an improvement assessment district or carry out many other necessary functions Of gov ernment without going to Congress They are power less as to the regulation school matters outside of the incorporated cities. They cannot regulate the fisheries. amend the game laws. or perform many of the functions about which they know moro than non resident Congressman.

JUSTICE HUGHEs's POLITICAL OPINIONS
(New York World

CNew York World)
 The Evening Post insists that t is unnecessary for Justice Hughes to express his opinions about the political issues of the day; that "h he Is nominated at Chicago 1t will not be because of anything which he says or fails to such subjects but because his party him the best man for the emer- gency"
 That was the attitude assumed by Judge Parker previous to his nomination for President in 1904 The Judge sat on the bench of the Court of Appeals of New York and maintained judicial dignity that would have denected f2centimeter shell. All attempts to obtain from him confession of political faith proved unsuccessful The Democratic National Convention nevertheless nominated him 'as the best man for the emergency" and the rest of the painful story Is fully related in the election returns of 1904.
 The Republican Party this year Is much in the same position of the Democratic Party twelve years ago. It has no real issue and no real principles The organization is In the hands of the reactlonaries and the rank and file restless. The Republican Party Is bedeved by Rooseveltism as the Democratic Party was when bedeyied by Bryanism. and while it may be unnecessary for Justice Hughes to have any political opinions before he is nominated, the lack of them will be apparent enough after the convention. proved in the of Judge Parker
 War has played havoc with the old political issues The country is dealing with conditions undreamed of even four years ago. Some of the questions grow Ing out Of these new conditions will affect the destiny of the Republic for fifty years or longer. We can think of nothing more ridiculous than for great party to nominate a candidate for President whose
 
 ly to himself and O few intimate friends.
 On the Democratic side there is no doubt or mys- tery President Wilson has done his work in the ferc est political light that has beaten down upon any oc cupant of the White House since Lincoln He has been subjected a pitiess publicity and searching criticism such as few Presidents have ever wthstood There uncertainty about his record his achieve ments Men may agree with him disagree with him; but they know what he has done, what he has left undone and what he has refused to do. They know the principles he has acted on and they arc in doubt to the motive behind his deeds
 1T Justice Hughes Is to be President Wilson's opponent the country will insist knowing much about him as 1t knows about his great antagonist It is true that Justice Hughes with propriety and respect for his high offices discuss politics while he remains on the bench of the United States Su- preme Court but If he wishes to be the Republican candidate for President he resign from the bench and become avowed aspirant for the nomination. Otherwise he can make 1t unmistalaby clear that he is not the for this emergency" and that the vention seek elsewhere

This ut teance is taken in France indicating official opn- ion as to the significance of the battle Of verdun
 From this it appears that the French ministry is inclined to regard that long continued battle sort of second Gettysburg Meade's army did not pursue or shattered the baed Confederate forces. It simply stood its ground The results which followed the de- csive stopping Of the Confederate advance at Getys burg are familiar history. It was the beginning of ,he end

DON'T READ HIM OUT
lClncinnatI Enouirerl

It cannot be a wise friend of President Wilson who files objection to Mir Bryan's election as dele gate from Nebraska the next Democratic National Convention alleging that Mir. Bryan Is Democrat, and it is possible that the objector is friend Of the President at all If he means, however to aid Mir. Wilson by denouncing Mir. Bryan no Democrat, or if he desires to aid the Democratic party by reading Mir Bryan out of it. he makes very grave political mistake.
 Neither the objector to the Democracy Of Mir. Bry- an nor any other man but himself place Mir Bryan outside of the Democratic party and there is nothing in his record since 1890 that indicates that he desires to withdraw from the political organization which has honored him above all others since the day of Andrew Jackson by placing him In nomination. for the Pres- dency in three campaigns.
