WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, March 21.--(Special
Correspondence. )-Senator LeBaron
B. Colt Of Rhode Island, who served
for 80 years as Federal judge in
his state, was an earnest opponent of
the attempt made during the last ses-
sion to retire judges upon reaching
the age Of 20 years, and appoint new
men in their places. In spite Of the
fact that legislation along that line
has been recommended by two Attor-
neys General, Judge Colt held that it
would not be practical measure be-
cause it would increase the number of
judges more than was necessary.
Furthermore" said he, 81 am OPP
posed to any feature which allows
either Congress or the Executive to
denote or degrade judge while he
is holding the office.'' Owing to the
prolonged discussion which the meas
nre provoked in both the House and
Senate it was delayed until the last
moment, when an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to secure agreement
to the report Of the conferees.

Japanese ships carried $200,500,-
600 worth of American exports dur
ing 1916, compared with $24,000,00O
in 1914; and 222,OOO,OOO worth of
our imports in 1916, compared with
$57 $4,000 in 1914. The seamen IS
law enacted by the Democrats gave
Japan virtually monopoly of the
Pacific carrying trade. Our imports
from Japan during 1912, a full pro-
tective year, totaled $87,OOO,0OO in
value; in 1913, three months under
the Democratic law, $99,0O0,0OO; in
1914, $106,0OO,O00; 1915, $1OS,OOO,-
900, and in 1916, $1S2,OOGOOO, or
nearly $1OO,OOO,OOO greater than for

Grain farmers will be much inter
ested in the address delivered in the
House Of Representatives March 3,
by Representative George M. Young,
of North Dakota, on the subject of
substitutes for hemp binder Irvine.
Mr.. Young set forth the facts re-
garding the dependence of United
States farmers upon a supply of
Irvine from Yucatan, and said that
New iceland fax, which can be sue
cessfully grown in this country, af-
fords an abundant fiber from which a
Irvine stronger than hemp can be
made. The North Dakota Congress-
man urged government aid in the in

PRECEDENT Wilson asserted that the
failure Of, Congress to grant him the
unlimited power he asked cannot be
explained so that foreign countries
will understand. The whole country
cannot but reflect that his "too proud

that has prevented the rest Of the
world from understanding the true
spirit of the American people. That
was one thing that can never be ex-
planned.

Rep. Edward w. Gray of New Jer-
sey is taking deep interest IN the
construction of the Lincoln Memorial
in Washington, now nearing compile
ito. In his opinion the Memorial
will not be complete unless it displays
prominently upon its walls the text
of the famous Gettysburg address. In
conformity with that idea Mr.. Gray
introduced joint resolution in the
closing days Of the Congress, appro-
priating $3.50 for the purchase OF a
bronze memorial tablet, bearing the
address, to be permanently placed in
a proper position in the structure.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on the Library of which
Mr.. Gray was a prominent member,
but owing to the press Of business at
the close of the session it was impos-
sible to secure its adoption.

The most earnest opponent in the
Senate of the collection of so-called
espionage measures enacted dur-
ing the recent Congress was Hon.
Albert B. Cummins of Iowa. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Cummins the provis-
ions OF that legislation are more dras-
tic ethan any country on the face of
the earth ever adopted in time of
peace" The Senator claims that in
a government by the people, like ours,
every citizen has a right to inquire
into its affairs, and that to prescribe
such rigorous restrictions as are in
cluded in that legislation makes Il
practically impossible for the ordi-
nary citizen to know when he is yio-
latIng the law. ~ cannot concur in
legislation" remarked Senator Cum
mis-, that makes criminal things that
all OF us do every day of our lives. -

er Of the advertising columns of the
popular magazines, delivered an adj
dress on the nations health. The
printed remarks caught the eye of
the Senator before mentioned. who
requested that they be reproduced in

QUITS 1 MEAT FIRM

After serving Frye-Bruhn com pany .n the local field as manager for the past six years, w. B. Batson has teudered his resignation to Che firm to take effect as soon as a suitable man could be obtained to take his place.
 This comes as a surprise to MT. Batsoa's many friends in skagWay, as M-. Batson has been looked up- on as a permanent fixture in the Frye-Bruhn market, and has had much to do in making the insti- tuition one of great popularity. However, he decided that he did not wish to continue in that line Of business, and when an opportun- ity was presented to him to get in- to another line of trade, he lost no time, but sent in his resignation.
 Upon the arrival of his relief, MT. Batson will be found in the Jares Kennedy store where he has accepted a position as salesman
 MT. Kennedy is to be congratulate ed upon having secured the services of a man as we'll and favorably known in the north as is Mir. Bat son, and if he serves the interests of the patrons of the Kennedy store in the same painstaking man. ner ia which he has served his pa irons In the past, he will soon be- come a valuable addition to the sales force of the big clothing em' porium.

in the Fourth Division, which At torney- General Grigsby says can not legally be tabulSted because the returns were not certified to. Utica returns purport to give Sulzer 4 an Wickersham 13, and Vault to give SuIzer 2 and Wickersham s.
 The returns from Utica and Deer 'ny in the Second Division, Chog- lung and Nushagak in the Third Di- Viston, and DeadwOod in the Fourth Division have been challenged by supporters of Sulzer on account of violations of the Australian bal lot law. In none of these precincts were official ballots used, and in none of them was a certificate set ting forth the reasons for the fail ure to use official ballots, such as the law says must" accompany the returns, sent in. These precincts give Wickersham a total of 72 votes and Sulzer a total of 25. FL iminatins all of them but Utica, not included in foregoing figures, from the totals would give an off cial result as follows:
 sulzer 6,484; Wickersham 6410 "a sulzer plurality of 24.
 The Alaska election law, which provides that a resident of any Di- vision can vote at any precinct, within that Division, a provision that was numerously followed in the Second Division, provides also for 8 registration of all who vote, and directs that the officers of cleo ton shall not receive the vote of any one who was not first register ed. In the Second Division there was no registration in any precinct This Division is tabulated as giV- ing Wickersham 213 plurality. It's would leave sulzer with Q plurality of 199 even if the ob- jections to the votes of the pre- ciects In other Divisions were not sustained. .| r N IRN
