 Of course it is possible to come form behind and win. But the safe way is to try and get an even break with the rest of the bunch when the barrier goes up.

A UNIQUE cHAprGa IN nsrORY

The road thatiis being travelled by those Senators who blocked the passage the Presidents plans for the protection of American shipping and the unrestrct' ed use of the high sea for Americans presents a unique chapter in American history.
 Incidents in the parliamentary history of the United States where Senators and Congressmen have been exorated by the folks back home" have oc. cured now and again ever the beginning of our history under the Constitution Some of the Senators who forced the resolution through censurng the ad mnisration Of President Jackson; were burned in eff tigy and forced into retirement by the people. The seven Republican Senators who prevented the convic ton of President Johnson had hard sleddng for many years within their party most of them retiring from politics account of their action. Several of the 32 Republicans who joined Gen, Garfield, after ward President, but then member of Congress from Ohio in the revolt which compelled the acceptance by reluctant Senate of Sunset" Coxs famous Jail Delivery Amendment the last day of Congresson in the reconstruction period were practically forced out of the Republican party into the Democrat !c and others formed the nucleus of the Liberal Re publican party which first nominated Horace Greedy for President
 But in all of these cases the troublemaking Sena tors and Representatives had the stanch support of considerable portion of the people the country and practically all of those who belonged to the opposition party. Today there is general condemnation of the thirteen Senators-eight Republican and five Demo
  sons armed neutrality measure that knows party lines.
 In Washington State commercial clubs, bipartisan mass meetings organizations various kinds, newspa pers of all parties and party leaders of all and conditions are visiting their wrath upon the head of Senator W. L. Jones, one of the thirteen. Traitor is among the minor epithets that being hurled at the Yakima statesman, and among those to condemn him have been the commercial and official representa- tives of his own North Yakima Seantor La Toilette is getting similar condemnation from his State of Wisconsin where he has been the most powerful leader for quarter of a century Likewise the ex- perience of Senator Stone of Missouri, Capp of Mnne sota.

ALASKA IN THE PUBLIC EYE
CKetchikan Progressive. NTinerl

 If Alaska does not come to it's own and become known otherwise than the Frozen North it shall not be due to lack of advertisement; for advertisement it is having from the gold producing parts to the clam spots Its resources being shown all over the country. Scattles Alaska advertising-as in every thing else. usual leads. That city maintains per. manent exhibits from Alaska and in every way possi. ble encourages people from all the world to visit the country. And this has been thus from the time of the great rush to Nome. Later, steamship trans. portaton companies took it up and gave 1t a boost still later the transcontinenta railway companies joined forces Now comes the Canadian Pacific Rail- way Company with offer to help along that line

fleet has an advantage over us ol about four years already, and it prob ably will be 1920 before we can dc what Germany was able to do in 1913.
 Another unknown quantity is the officers and men to man our navy We are so far behind in both that our fleet is already undermanned and underofficered, while the vessels in reserve have hardly enough men to keep them in good material con dition. It is impossible to guess and use the word adyisedly how long 1t would take, even if the nee essary number of men enlisted, tc get the vessels of the active and reserve fleets manned in such a way that they could be fought with any thing like proper effectiveness.
 Undermanned Ships
 "The crew of the battleship Louis iana, now in reserve, for instance would number about 800 men. Now the Louisiana could not engage ir fight with a highly trained Ger man ship of the same size on any think like the equal terms inside oi year after going into commission unless she had in her crew very large proportion of trained men al the start, and that she has not.
 "The Louisiana could be gotten ready to go out to fight tomorrow but if she should have to fight 9 highly.trained German ship of the same type she would probably be sunk within an hour.
 This is not wild statement. Re. member that the Cumberland was sunk in much less time after she en. gagged the Merrimac in 1862, and also remember that the United States frigate Chesapeake was captured and nearly half of her officers and men killed or wounded in battle of less than fifteen minutes with the British frigate Shannon, despite the fact that the Shannon was about identical in size.
 "Now. in suppositious fight to. morrow between the Minnesota and a German battleship, the Minnesota would not have one-half the number of men on board as the Germans would, so it is not far under the truth to say that she would be sunk in an hour.
 Life Too Easy
 Tn this connection let us remem ber that the actual battle of Manila was decided in less than two hours and so was the battle of Tshushima between the Russian and Japanese fleets. which was the greatest naval battle ever fought up to that time and which is still the greatest if we leave out the battle of Jutland in the present war In point of de gtructiveness, of course, the battle of Tschima was greater.
 Now. as to our navy. we do not know where we are going to get enough enlisted men to man the ships.
 "Enlistmonts are coming in very slowly and probably will continue to do so. The young men of the do not take kindly to the hardships of naval life because main .y, throughout their lives they have been trained to make money and have m easy time. It is difficult to see now members of q self-indulgent nation can fight success 'ully the hardy. self-sacrIficing mem. 1ers of Q nation like Germany un ess we arouse ourselves to action md devotion before it is too late"

THE EMPIRE, wORKMEN'S COMPENSATION

 All of which might be interesting if it were true but it isn't The Empire is strongly of the opinion that the compensation law is right in principle and earnestly believes the Legislature should not heed the clamOrs of damage suit chasers to repeal it. Whether not the law needs amending The Empire has never said because it does not know. If by amending it fewer lawsuits and fewer and smaller attorneys fees would result it should be amended.
