IT MAY BE 4 WASTE OF TIME.

Great preparations are in the making for the reception of Secretary Redfeld and his associates, all of which looks well. but. we should not forget the fact that the party is not on pleasure trip. On the contrary, business of the greatest im- portance is bringing the distinguished visitors here For that reason it might be wise to have a few delegates from the various organizations meet the party first. and if the time can be spared we can give the party splendid recep- tion. The Secretary may wish to get through with the business as promptly as it will be pos sible. In that case, to go to lot of trouble and expense may bring reproach for extravaganza at time when We should all be doing something for the entire country and not only for our own little spot.
 On this subject may remark that the principal question that will come up before the commission and which question, soon or late will have to be settled for good is of far greater im- portance to Us residents of ketchikan than most of those who may appear with var.ous claims care to admit. The settlement of that question cannot be eQuitably settled by looking only at one side of it Ii must be considered from every angle before We can reach 3 just conclusion upon which to base a settlement that will be fair for all.
 It may be mere talk. nevertheless it has been circulated that the party was coming here solely in the interest of the fishermen This is 9 mis- take. Without the consumer, the producer can- not exist, and while fisherman has a perfect right to set price on his fish, he has no right to compel the consumer to buy. The interest is mutual. Likewise a fisherman has a perfect right to sell his product at foreign port at the same time our government has as uood ,ob+ to prevent the importation of that product after It mas been unoaded at 3 foreign port. back into our country where it may find market as the fisherman has a right to sell at foreign port Our government can do that absolutely or thru high tariff. This the government will enventu- all come to. provided it wants to keep our own commerce for our own country.
 If it is to the advantage of a fisherman to go to foreign port to sell his fish. we can see no objection. provided always that the advantage

is not taken at the expense of others. Which is sure to be n all restriction of commerce. between the two countries are removed. Canada and the fishermen will benefit at the expense of Alaska, and Ketchikan will be hard hit as well as other towns in southeastern Alaska.
 A few days ago. the local union, including the fishermen union boasted that it was its aim to build up our country. We shall see whether it is its aim or not by what the advocates will suggest to the Secretary. Should they insist in demanding free intercourse of commerce with our neighbors, it will mean that they consider their interest above all else. and by no stretch of the imagination will it be considered as step towards the building up of our country. In that case it would surely result in the enactment of a law that would bury free trade forever. Pro- lection is what Alaska needs but protection for all and not only for one class. Let us remember that. Conclusively for one class to think the Secretary will look for the interest of one class only. is the acme of absurdity. Such is our opin- ion at least. But time will tell.

HIS SUPPLY IS EXHAUSTED.

Some months since, when the Kaiser's armies of traitors had succeeded in forcing an unwelcome peace upon the ferociOus Russians who still wanted to continue the struggle, the kasers armed forces were withdrawn-most of thenl-from that country and sent to the slaugh- ter fields on the western front Now, having practically exhausted the supply of brainless brutes on the slaughter fields, the Kaiser is again turning to Russia for more supply and wants prisoners of war held there to be liberated presumably for the same purpose. We'll the slaughter house is still open for business, and more he will bring, the more the Allies will slaughter and the sooner the world will be rid of the most barbarous brutes the world has ever known.B Besides it may be the means of bringing back Russia.
