An alliance between those two arch h-opportunitists. Villa and Hapa:a, would be merely matter of mutual and would last only so long as the bandit leaders were held together bv common grudge against Carranza.
 Zapata is the Villa of southern Mexico. He is as unlettered, as pop nlar with the peon masses us nn- scrupulous and as merciless as his northern ally. A pro due. of reYolu- ton, he opposes every form of organ ized government in his country, be- cause organized government neees- sarilv means the elimination of petty predatory chieftians like himself.
 It may serve Pancho's purpose to associate himselff, for the moment, with Zapata. A similar alliance was en- tered into when Villa frs. broke with Carranza. It did not last long, al though during the period of its exist ence. the southern outlaw was able to enter Mexico City and remain there for q short time. urtl constitutions +roops returned and chaloi him out.
 Since then, Zapata has been oper- a:ing alone. He succeeded in VI ather- ing the Carranzista storm, in which tancho's governmental bark wen, down. but was compelled to restrict Lis operations 10 districts somewhat more remote from Mexico City. Never however, was the first chief able to run down this nimble enemy, who merely awaits an opportunity to resume his raids oa the old-time scale.
 Porfrio Diaz managed to bring lead CTS of th.s type under control in the early days of his long reign in two ways. Some, he ran down and an- initiated. Others. he pardoned and placed ia his rural police, where they were his most effective agency in the restoration and maintenance of public order. Whenever Mexico develops a "strong man." capable of governing the country as it must be governed he will deal its Villas and its Zapatas just as Diaz did, and in that way will end organized freeboo:ine in the re public.-Ex.

telegrams to the morning paper it is evident that after the days perform ance in the senate Dan is head of The Hey Rube" gang which does a strong arm act about Juneau, greatly to the entertainment of the Juneauites.
 You don't want to be too harsh in considering Dams acts at Juneau. He is simply playing politics according to the rules of the game. From adyices Wickersham cause is not getting any the best of it there. The canvassing board admits the claims of the demo- crats as stated in their application for a writ of maadamus and declares that it will act according to the in- structions of the court in issuing a cer- titcate of election-will give the cer- tlficate 70 Sulzer if the court so orders There doesn't seem to be any other out" for the court but to order the issuance of :he certificate to Sulzer and therefore Wickersham will have to fight in congress 70 hold his seat; to show cause why he shall be al- lowed to remian in congress. It is a onestioa whether Wickersham will fight to hold the place; there is little belief that he will ever run again. and Dan. heir-apparent, is the logical can- didate of the Wickersham machine; a. Juneau he is simply playing the game to hold his position and pres tige and to show his fitness to be the successor of Wickersham in AL aska. Aside from Wickersham poli- ties. there Is no belief that Dan cares who is speaker of the senate or who is senate clerk. He is simply playing the game.
 And. it seems to us that :he chances favor Dan's winning. He seems to Us to have the best of it. His four in the senate can be depended upon to stand hitched" and the burden of proof is in the other four. If they stick .o- gether. the senate will be deadlocked throughout the session, for the four entrenched Wickershamites will never quit for when they quit Wickersham- ism is dead in the territorial legisla- ture ana they might as we'll die fight ;,r ,e oou,p,it c,1fpide
 No great moral principle is in- volved in this fight No great harm or good can come to Alaska which ever way the fight ends. In the mean time it will be amusing to the people of Alaska to watch the progress Of the game as Dan and Gaustad are playing i. at Juneau. and as this is the idle season when Alaska1s need to be amused, maybe the fight is a good thing for Alaska-Alaska Citi- zen.

Twenty three years ago 0 steamship was built in England for $150,000. It was good tramp vesselput together with British thoroughness and i. trayeled the trade lanes of the world for two decades or more, experiencing the usual ups and downs of a con- mercial tramp
 Shortly before the war started this craft by that time q rather venerable vessel, as tramp steamships go-was offered for sale for s1O0,000. There were no takers. 1t wasn't worth Sl0O 900 of aaybody's money just at that time.
 Then, the world went war mad ant marine freight rates commenced < mount. Our good but somewhat el- derly ship was chartered at a rate which permitted it to earn abou $55,000 month. In a single month, i made abou. one third of it's origlaa cost which was pretty fair for carrier more than twenty year old.
 The other day, this merchantma changed hands. 1t had added coupl or three years to its age since tn outbreak of the war, when no on cared to pay $1OO,OOO for it. Yet, sold for s750, ,000--five times it's con s:ruction price.
