THE GOVERNMENT AND ALASKA
 TRANSPORTATION

Word from Seattle that it is not likely the Interdepartmenta Commission, named at the instance of Secretary of the Interior Payne, will recommend tine establishment of government line of steamships Alaska if a suitable arrangement be made that will be satisfactory to the American lines operating in Alaska to for all the traffic that comes arrange regular schedules, good service and lower That the American steamship companies will be asked operate without prof it may be accepted a foregone conclusion, and that they will be aided by the government to give the service it is believed Alaska should have also may be accepted.
 If the government enters into the Alaska field with steamship lines, it is safe to say that it will be in competition with the Alaska lines but in cooperation with them The plan first suggested that the government operate lines to two ports it is conceded would hurt rather than help the situation, because it would compel the steamship companies to curtail the service to those points not served by such government line It gen erally is admitted that nearly all the Alaskan traffic as possible should called into the service of maintaining and supporting the common carriers that serve the Territory
 It is said that if the decision is finally that the Shipping Board must enter the traffic in Alaska in order to the people and aid in building up the Territory it likely will be through taking the steamships of the privately owned lines in Alaska adding other vessels to them, and serving all the people of the North until such time the service could be rendered by private capital at profit
 That would be the only fair way and the only the business in Alaska. When the time comes ttac ships plentiful for this country and their opera tion less costly than now, then private companies and competition would be the desirable things If the private companies can be retained in the mean time by government cooperation it is preferable to government operation of any sort, but if the gov ernment enters the business it should be to care for all the traffic

ground Republicans can exercise control sufficiently to strike happy medium between the radical ele- ments in making decisions platform and candi- dates, the Republicans may win the election On the other hand if either end of the radical ele- ments completely controls the situation, the chances for Republican success, which seemed so promising to amount almost to a certainty a few weeks ago. are likely to go glimmering
 Before the next election the sober sense of the American people will itself and the war of the classes will again be restricted to minority of the people, the natural radicals-the special n- terests the genital class-cOnscOus of high and low degree. The history of the American race tells us this The fair play, the poise of the American peo- pie, their tendency to arrive discriminating iudg- ments, the naturally judicial temperament of the breed, will not long put up with radicalsm of any sort. In the end, it is fair to conclude the next President of the United Statas will give us an ad- minstration not far different from the one we now have He will be moderate Republican, occupying a middle ground or he will be a Democrat

THE WAR OF THE CLASSES

A Berlin dispatch to the Sun and New York Herald says local elections in Germany disclose a drifting away from the Social Democratic party to the Conservatives hand and the Communists and Sparticans the other.
 This means that political conditions in Germany resemble those in America and England. The So- cial Democratic party in Germany is unlike the So- cialist party in America. It corresponds a very general way to the Democratic party in this country and the Liberal party in England It occupies the middle ground between the socaled capitalistc class and the communist class It is radical as the Socialist party in the United States which is like the German Communistic party
 We always have radicals extremists our class conscious, advocates of class control Some of them belong to class and to another; all radically opposed to the classes of which they not part.
 In times of unrest this condition becomes exag- gerated. The battle of the classes becomes so in tense and persistent that it draws into it many of those of the middle position, who desert and join those at one extreme the other It always is diff cult for men of strong convictions to refrain from taking sides and becoming less violently partisan on one side or the other when there is a first class scrap under way
 One of the first phases of such a condition as tEat outlined is from both ends Of the extreme radicals against the middle. We have had such a war in this country, and they have had it in Eng iahd Tor year or So. In this country, both ele- ment of the radicals, the big interests the anarch ists' the radical elements among the working people on the other end, have been warning against the present Administration. The result has been the development within the Republican party of organ izaton two sets or radcals-extremsts The con- test between these radical factions for the mastery of the party has been the outstanding feature of American politics for the last few weeks It has absorbed the attention of the people to such an tent that we are again beginning to get a fairer appraisement of the value of the Wilson Administra- tion than was possible few weeks ago
 This fight for the control of the Republican party will reach its climax at the National Convention of that party early in June, and great deal depends upon the outcome there. It is not too much to say that the fate of the Republican party as far as the next election is concerned at least is among the takes. If the politicians who think more of party than class victory of any and the middle

Luke McLuke Says

Another strange thing is how easy It IS to get rid of good habit and now hard it is to get rid of bad habit
 A Princess likes to put on dog so much that if her Corns make her limp she will insist it is the Gout. After a man has worn hat for SIX months he gets attached to it and
 hates to get new one. But it is different with his wife. In Europe, when man wishes to
 retire from the world he enters a
 monastery. Over here he runs Tor Vice-President. Every time a man finds he has been done, he is willing to do as he has been done by. After listening to a man for an hour you get the idea that the reason le talks so much is because he has so little to say.
 Maybe when Suffrage hits us and there are enough women in Congress. they'll enact a law appropriating SlOoOO year to keep the face of the Statue of Liberty powdered and rouged every day.
 Some women try to toll when they are not physically fit for it. But the artists model is always in Good Shape when she shows up for work
 You may have noticed that man Ad does not have to have his voice cultivated in order to sing his own praises.
 It jars husband to discover that his Wife's feet are as big as his are when she gets her shoes off. When man is 20 he doesn't search the bait for hooks the way he does when he is 60. Another horror of prohibition is that there is no place to go but home when your wife is out of town on q visit

THAT SUGGESTS

The Seattle Times calls attention to the circum- stance that Canada has been furnishing market for American products to the value of approximately $1OO for each man, woman and child of that country The Times says this is the largest per capita market the United States has.
 And that is true, as far as it concerns a foreign country, and it is indicative of the fooshness of any attempt to create national feeling to rouse prejudices in either America Canada against the other country.
 However, the figures quoted by the Times slg- gest another thought Alaska furnished a market for the products of the United States last year of ever $37O0O,O00 in value. This from 8 200 to $1,500 for each white man, woman and child in the Territory. And that suggests that a country which is doing much for the development of Amer can trade and industry is worthy very serious sideration at the hands. of the country.
