HOLDING UP APPOINTMENTS

Federal office holders in Alaska who
 have failed of confirmation including
 Judge Bunnell and Unitel States At torney Roth of the Fourth Division
 arc threatencd with short lease of of fical life iT case of the success of the Republican ticket :hfs fall, believes the Seattle Alaska Dispatch.
 It has becmne known since the two national conventions closed that there lis concerted plan 10 proven. any more combinations of Mir. Wilson's appointments by the senate. says the
 Seattle paper. The Republicans, of
 course, do not wish to let the president
 name his fivorites % long terms in fat public offices overlapping the most
 uf the tenure of Senator Harding,
 should he be elected. There is noth-
 ing unusual aahout this feeling on the pnrt of the Republicans.
 Eight years ago when President
 Wilson was elected the Democrats IO hlt AlO1IhA<tllOAS ~ Oe confirmed during the short session of
 Congress, thus holding over for the
 Democrats a large number of good
 places, including federal judgeship at
 Seattle.
 The situation at this time is differ
 ent, however. because there appears to be a general agreement among some Democrats in the senate that all WI. son appointments should be held up
 reward the faithful.
 Three nominations to the interstate commerce commission are among those which will be stopped and President
 Wilson is expected soon to fill TWO vacancies on the shipping board. one of which will go to a northwest man. The latter vii! also be held up. A postmaster is soon to he named tor Portland, Ore.. at salar.' Of sS.O0o year to fill the vacancy caused by :he summary removal of Fr1uk z Myers some months ago. but the ap- pmntment is not likely to be W orth the paper on which fl is written by the present occupant of She White House. The Republicans are convinced that 1t would be mistake to let MT. Will
 son give important seats in the execu- tive ninistration of .he nation to
 men who are sure to be at odds with
 the policies of MT. Harding and seem to feel the same way about it in regard to their candidate.

Twelve insane persons went out on the last boat. This is not a record by any means. but it Is twelve too
 many. All of these unfortuna4es were
 brought % the territory by canneries
 to the westward, and the greater num-
 Der of them were undoubtedly insane
 at the time of leaving San Ffaneisco.
 It has become the custom of Pacific coast states .o dump their insahe upon .Alaslca by way of these cannery crews.
 to save the expense of the aforesaid states taking care of them. In this mnn-
 iner this burden is shunted on to Alas
 ka and the United States government, unjustly and without any excuse for such action. The next session of the territorial legislature should pass such drastic laws in regard to insane per- sons being imported into the territory
 that cannery companies would be careful in acting as go-between and dumping these incunpetents on the territory. One way would be to as-
 sess :le companies with the expense uf taking their insane to the states,
 and another would be to require q
 pfysician's certificate for each can-
 rery' employee before he WAS allowed
 to sail for the North. It is high time
 to call a halt. Alaska should no. be
 made the dumping ground for Cali- fornia's criminals and of its insane

SENATOR JONES'
 ALASkA's FRIEND

tBy Asnrnun Brown. Washington. D. C., Bureau of Seattle Post -Intel-
 lteencer.)
 Ever since Wesley l.. Jones has
 been a member of the senate there
 fns been an intimate connection be.
 tween his office and that of the dele gate from Alasln. It has not made
 any difference whether the delegate ! was a republican or democrat, he just naturally headsd into Senator
 Jones' offices whenever there was an 1 Anasha iron in the senatorial fire to be pulled out.
 Periodically Alaska and Seattle bus
 mess men come to Washington on er-
 rands that have to do with the up- building of the territory. Always they land in Senator Jones' office.
 When the application for the AL aska railroad was introduced in the senate, the secretary of the interior, disregardipg the senators of his own political faith. gets it in the hands of Senator Jones, and all is well. The coast and geodetic survey, the geologi- cal survey. the biological survey, all the bureaus that have to do with AL aska. turn instinctively to Senator Jones when they need help on a legis- lative matter that is of, real import ance to the territory.
 One of the many sides of this many sided and remarkable active senator is that which shows him as a senat pr from A'asi.a. The territory would be state very long time before 1t would have so useful representative of it's own in the upper house of Con- grees.
 Always Senator Jones is the help ful guide and working companion of the delegate from Alaska when Alaska Legislation is afoot. Many bill. fath- cred by the delegate, has been lost In the house only to be revived in the senate and made into law through the instrumentality of Senator Jones, who thereupon sees to 1t that the delegate, rather than himself. gets full credit. Does the delegate get bill through the house, he need worry no further. He has siVply to tell Senator Jones about it to be assured that 1t also will 90 through. the senate.
 Realizing the intimate connection between Alaska and the state of Wash. inston. Senator Jones adpittedly ha. made himself scnator from .Alaslss ss well as from his own staGs. This

The Miner recently received long communication from Dr. T. W. HorHaday, of New York. asking space to explain to Alasltans his tand on the gnsme laws. and why he is opposed to the indiscr1minaAe killing of brown bears and eagbes. While the article in question Is an interesting one from an eastern standpoint. it is hardly worth publica ton from an Alaslsan's standpoint, ns the learned champion 1f fur and feathers knows not where. of he spG,ls- Alas2eans could speak as inteldeently of game conditions in New York, and could display as little acquaintance with their subjects. Like Postmaster General Murleson's ex- pianation of the present inadequate mail Service, we believe the case in point has no defense. If the learned doctor wishes to tess out .he alleged gentle disposition of the Alaskan brown bear. New York is a poor field for his endeavors. If he dezires to come to Alasloa and pursue his in vestigations we will welcome him and see that appropriate ceremonies mark his timely end.-Valdez Miner.

There il 40 great mystery about
the sudden decline In the price OF

months that = tremendous specula-
ton existed in the metal. There
had beer talk Of monetizing silver

were carrying great speculative
stores of il with borrowed money.
The high money rates have per-
suaded them to sell out. The
heather "Chinee" Is not nearly so
guilty as solemn statistical finan-
ciers have imagined. The great in
crease of trade with the Orient will
account for some of the decline in
silver, but speculation put it up and
def1ation of the speculative bubble

breaking wide open in the foreign
market for the same reason.
Strength of VanGiaum and Re-

short interest is outstanding in

The New York stock exchange

cording 10 the rules of the ex-
change. which every member must
sign when admitted, the governors
have the right to hold private hear

these hearings must be accepted as
final. But in the Stutz affair the
charge Is made that there has been
foul play and if that is so then the
exchange has forfeited the right to
deal summarily with the case. The
public is more interested than the
exchange in this Stutz matter, and
nothing less than complete publicity
will be accepted. The people want
to know who il is that Iaided in

isl never any protest on the part Of

1t is significant in this connection
that larger decline on June i was
chiefly prevented by the persistent
strength of grain prices. and that
market tendencies thus far this
month have been mainly in a down
ward direction, with lower quota
tions not infrequently named on
forward shipments than are ruling
on spot deliveries.
While the high costs of produc-
ton, and losses in output from one
cause or another. are cited as rea-
sons for the maintenance of prices
at or near present levels, yet con-
sumption of merchandise, as a
whole, has diminished perceptibly,
with demands now centering more
in articles of a staple character, and
the fact that the increasing imports
from abroad are coming into sharp
er competition with various domes-
tic commodities has a bearing on
the future price situation.
With the phases of extravagan,
buying and of urgent bidding for
goods being steadily modified. and
with financial developments neces-
stating liquidation in not a few
quarters. existing conditions would
appear to foreshadow further price
