PROHIBITION EAST AND WEST

The result of the recent wet and dry contest in Boston would indicate that the great dry movement which seems to be sweeping the West and South and which added four States and the Territory of Alaska to it's conQuests last Fall Is not making headway in the East Bostons majority against prohibition at the recent election was 2S,5OO whereas it was only 145OO year ago. The indication may be drawn from the circumstance that Maryland. voting on Statewide prohibition gave large majority against it at the same time four Western States and Alaska gave large majorities in favor of it. However, the Western and Southern States are sufficiently numer ous to enforce a prohibition amendment to the Con- stitution but they would have be practically unan imous in order to do so It would require 36 States 10 adopt such an amendment. The pronibitionsts now have about half of the States of the Unon and three fourths of them would be necessary to make it paton wide That means that about dozen mora would have to be carried At the rate of four States every two years this would require but six more years
 In this contest the prohibtionists have one' great advantage-one that is also working in the interest o woman suffrage-and that is that when a State is once carried for prohibition it usually sticks On the other hand when prohibition loses the question is in mediately submitted another election and the vot ing continues at more less regular intervals until the dry forces muster majority. Then the State is nut away as a prohibition stronghold.

SUMMER CAPITAL IN WEST

President Wilson has been invited to locate the summer capital Puget Sound next year. Let us hope that he will accept the invitation. He would agreeable There is no section of the world where the summer climate is more pleasant than on Puget Sound From early July unt late October there is almost constant sunshine without disagreeabe heat. The days are balmy and the nights cool. The atmos- phere is nyigorating. the scenery varied-ncuding snow.capped mountains green valleys, the blue waters of the Sound and numerous lakes.
 But there is another reason for the acceptance of the invitation that is Of importance to the country IL would emphasize the discovery that the Nation has a West that extends beyond the Missss- East that but the East has to learn concerning the West It has learned that it cannot be controlled by Wall Street It must also learn that the West is cOnservatye-radicaly it is true, but conser- yative nevertheless. Property and business just as safe in the West in the East The West has put the people in the saddle. IL has woman suffrage the initiative and referendum. regulation of pblic utilities But the West has also proved that the neope are capable or riding in the saddle and that they play the game fair. They ready to make radical reforms after the proposals for reform have been given conservative attention and withstood the tests such attention suggests The reforms must be for the public good in order to be adopted.
 It would be a great thing for America if the East understood the West better-and accepted it as pat tern oitener If the summer capital of the Nation could be established on the Pacific coast for a few years such would be the result

THE OLD AND THE NEW YEAR

The year that ended midnight last night was q busy one in both America and Europe, though the changes between the present and year ago are not great. The developments of the year, in fact, have but served acCentuate the conditions Of the last New Year. Europe has continued her Two otEer nations entered the conflict during the course O. the year. one either side but the real issue is still deadocked. just it was last year. and there has been little 10 suggest change during the year to come.
 America finds herself where she year ago, except that she has made little faster headway in the same direction that she going then. The value of our exports has increased. the inflow of gold is greater and accumulated wealth has become vaste-. The governmental policies Of year ago have been endorsed by the triumphant reelection Of Presiednt Wilson. In short. about the only change brought to America by the year that has passed since 1916 was ushered in has been a quickening of her speed.
 And Alaska too is headed in the same direction that she was going yea. ago. The most marked result of the year here also has been accelerated gait We are getting more !or our copper and fish and we are producing of each Gold mines have increased their output and the municipalities have grown The railroad has been pushed with greater vigor and Territorial development has been extended to new areas. Probably the most notable event ot the year was the demonstration Of the circumstance that Alaska desires quit the fact!onal and sectional and class srifes that have retarded development in the past and to join in cooperative, harmonious effort toward progress. No other interpretation can he placed on the victory Of Senator Suzer Dele gate wickersham n the election last November.
 Then what of the future!
 For Europe a continuation of the war and deadlock one year from there is today, was year ago. and two years ago. For the United States continued material and governmental progress The outflow of the product of farm and factory the inflow of gold and securities and the accumulation Of

An esteemed Eastern contemporary is publishing interviews claiming that the high cost of living is largely due to the lack of imports which instead or coming here go to the European war zone. And this esteemed contemporary seems to forget that no longer than the late campaign it was camoring for the deeat of the Democrats because they had refused to lay tariff duties which would keep out ot the United States the very imports which the war is now keeping out.

A dispatch from Pittsburgh says that shortage of natural gas has compelled some of the steel com panies to substitute coal dust which is burned some what like gas by Q process. This will remind the thoughtful reader of the fact that this country still makes much of the coke in beehive ovens, which wastes about as much in gas and other byproducts as they produce coke.

SUPPORT HALIBUT BILL
CKetchikan progressive-Miner)

Inst why anyone in Ketchikan or in other ports or Alaska for that matter should oppose the passage by Congress of the socaIled halibut bill is not easily understood. There appears to be only one reason for such opposition if indeed any now exists ana that is the fear that should the bill become law it would again make the fishermen dependent upon Seattle for market-a thing that is utterly impossl- be and mpracticabe, relative to fresh shipments destined from Alaska to the Eastern markets or the
 Fresh fish being perishable commodity. time Is the all important item in it's transportation anu therefore it must reach the by the nearest and shortest direct route in point of time consumed in transit. This being the case there is only one practicable by which Alaskas fresh tlsh snip mens reach the consumers of the Eastern states in the best of condition and with the least deterora' ton. and that is via the Grand Trunk Railway.
 Never again will any considerable quantity or fresh fish from Alaska be shipped past Prince Rupert to Seattle for shipment to the East The Eastern buyers and consumers themselves will to it that after being taken from the water. They will only buy the best and the best will be that which reaches them quickest This question would automatically itself if there were no other influences brought bear the subject But there is another consider The Grand Trunk Railway must and will get all the Alaska business 1t It needs the fresh fish ton nage the canned salmon and tin plate tonnage, to and from the East and it is going get it, if pos sibe It is true the Grand Trunk people willing that the fisherman shall, at the present time,
 transport his fish to Prince Rupert at his own expense haibut bi lbecome a law the Grand Trunk people would very promptly establish communication with the AlaSK2n port where the llSn was OlleTeu TOT shipment They would permit it to go past their Prince Rupert terminal to Seattle.
 There can be question that the enactment into law of MT. Strong's habut bill will result without necessary delay in transferring the fresh fish busi ness from Prince Rupert to Ketchkan. where, in the interests of Alaska and her people, it rightfully be- longs. The passage of this bill much to Ket chikan, and it means quite much to the men en- gagged in halibut fishing for it will result in saving of time and expense and therefore will also result in greatly increasing their earning power Why then should not all classes of Alaskans get behind this and boost it to final and successful termna tion. This is mans proposition conceived in individual seshness. It is in the interest of the whole people and should receive their united support
