Keep Elections Separate.


make the State and city elections
fall on the same day.
We hope the Convention will
not be misled by any political in
terests or theorists into adopting
this proposition which would be
Objectionable to a large majority
of the people of New Orleans.
Until the convention of 1898,
in the second administration OF
Gov. Foster, these elections were
held simultaneously. and there
was hopeless confusion of State
and city issues, with no oppor-
tunity to get fair expression of
the popular will as to either.
The movement of the Conven-
ton of 1898 to separate the cleo
tons was led by DR.. H. Dickson
Bruins and ardently supported by
The Times-Democrat and the re-
form elements. One of the eff
fective arguments they used was
that the separation would put an
end to combinations between
State and city rings, divorce city
from State politics and give the
people of New Orleans a fairer
chance to elect their own officers
on local issues and govern them
selves.
The Convention put the next
following city election ahead of
the State, requiring it to be held
in November, 1899, but gave the
Legislature authority to change
the time of subsequent elections,
but with the specific proviso that
they should never be allowed to
fall on the same day.
In the election of 1899, fought
between the Jacksonians and the
Regulars, Mr.. Flower, the .incum-
bent mayor, supported by the
former, and Mr.. Capdevielle by
the Regulars, the latter was
elected by some 5000 votes, a
decisive victory.
i The effect of Mr.. Capdevielle's
election was promptly to change
the views of the reform element
as to when the city election
should be held.
The campaign had brought to
the city many of the leading
country politicians, who, on the
stump or in the ranks, worked
for one side or the other, the ma
iority. however, on the side OF
the Regulars. The Jacksonian
movement was planned to be
Statewide. If it had succeeded
in the city, it would have made
desperate and, perhaps, a win.
ming fight to capture the State
government. But its defeat in
the city, giving the Regulars
four years control. practically
settled the State fight.
The result was that the reform.
ers joined in demand that the
city election should be put after

Alaskans should not be condemned

Alaskans should not be condemned because of an attempt to escape the tyranny of the American steam ship monopoly. We believe in sup porting American industries to the limit-but not beyond. And the limit of endurance in the matter of transportation was reached long ago. The interstate commerce commission would not come to the relief of Alaskans, and the shipping board thus far has not concerned itself with our affairs. The only thing left for us to do is to permit con- petitive lines to serve the territory, a service that we cannot enjoy un- der the provisions of the merchant marine act.
 The American boats have not en- couraged the support of Alaskans. They have boosted rates at every opportunity, with the result that development in the territory has been brought to a standstill. And there was no assurance of relief in the form of a lowering of rates, after the passage of the marine bill, or even more recently, after the American companies had an nounced their intention of cutting the wages of the marine workers in their employ.
 So now, if the attempt of the Alaska legislature to invalidate part of the marine act proves successful, the transportation trust can put it down to their own greed. All that Alaskans ask is fair treatment.

AUTO STAGES REGULATED
 TO PROTECT PASSENGERS

OLYMPIA, June 9-Stringent re- gulations governing the operation oi automobile stages have been pro- mulgated by the State Department of Public Works. The new rules will go into effect tomorrow and provide among other things, drivers shall not smoke, or use tobacco m any form, drink intoxicating liquor, or show evidences of bad moral character while driving a stage or bus.
 It has also been ordered that each vehicle shall carry liability insur- ance of $5,OOO for each passenger carried, and no stage shall operate unless it carries a sign, Ensured Carrier"
 Each stage shall also be equipped with a light in the inside top, one extra tire, non-skid chains, speed ometer, fire extinguisher, and a sign on the front giving the route covered.
 Stages cannot be operated with out receiving a permit from the department of public works, and no operator can discontinue service without permission. Tariffs charged and routes covered must be filed with the department and all accl- dents involving injuries to persons or $50 or more loss to property must be promptly reported.
 Overcrowding Of stages IS pro- hibited, it being mada illegal to place more passengers in any stage than the number mentioned in the application.
 In addition, the regulations pro- vide that no person shali sit on the right hand of stage drivers, and that baggage shall not extend more than eight inches beyond the side of the car.
 Before a stage can be operated, the owner must obtain from the de- partment a certificate of necessity or convenience. This costs $11 for stage carrying up to eight passen- gers, and fifty cents for each pas

While it may be true, as has been suggested by R. H. Semmes, that Alaskans are unfair in assuming that they are more entitled to the benefits of foreign water transpor- tation than are other American communities, the fact remains that something must be done to bring about lowering of freight rates between Pacific coast supply ports and Alaska.

OUR NATIONAL PARK

Of great importance to Interior Alaska is the arrival of Harry ?. Karstens, newly-appointed superin- tendent of Mt. Mckinley National Park, who has come to assume his official duties; and Woodbury Abbey, who was sent from Washington to direct the activities of a survey party which will make the bounda- ries of the park. Their coming marks the beginning of new epoch in the history of Interior Alaska, for they are here to blaze the trails for the thousands of tourist who even now are awaiting an invita- tion to visit Americas largest na- tional park and one of the worlds greatest scenic wonders.
 The arrival of these represent atives of the federal government means that it is the intention of the administration and Congress 50 put Alaska's park on the map by pre- pairing it for the reception of visit ors. And within a comparatively brief time Interior Alaska undoubt- ly will have the opportunity to wei come many sight-seers, attracted to the Northland by announcement ot the formal opening of our big play ground.
 Not much can be done Jnls year in the way of opening the park to tourists, and none will be encour- aged to come with the expectation of finding travelling conditions on a par with those obtaining in others of the nations National Parks. But following closely on the heels of the boundary survey, will come the building of highway, to connect with the Government railroad, and the building of hotels for the ac- commodation of visitors, who must be provided with some of the con- veniences of travel if the park is to enjoy full measure of popularity.
 These things will come, as mat ter of course. Of more importance to Alaskans at this time is the fact that a start has been made-that the existence of the park has been officially recognized by the appoint ment of a superintendent and by the authorization of a boundary survey. It reasonably may be ex- pected that much more will have been accomplished by the time the Government railroad is ready to take care of the tourist traffic.
 In the meantime, Alaskans can help the work along by co-operas- ing in every way possible with the park management-by observance of the park regulations, assistance in the preservation of game within the boundaries of the park, and in such other ways as will help to speed the development of the park so that it may become an important and enduring asset to the terri tory.

for the equally important reason that the other nations of the world find it well nigh impossible to trans act business with this country, by reason of their own depreciated currency.
 The precious metal is coming from all quarters of the globe, but the European countries, more particular 1 ly Great Britain and France, as well as the Scandinavian nations, are paying heaviest toll. Much of the gold received from England represents shipments from South Africa to London, while the French and other consignments hark back to the days of the war and in some instances to much longer peri ods.
 For example, Sweden is sending gold received from Germany for war supplies; also bar gold or bull lion which many believe to be of Russian origin. By way of the Pa cifc have come occasional ship ments of gold from Siberia where they formed part of General Kol- chak's war chest.
 South America and Central Amer ica also are making involuntary shipments to this country's vast holdings of the yellow metal, mainly because unsettled economic condi- ,ions in Latin-America virtually pre- clude any other form of payment to this country.
 The New York assay office, new structure, whose modern equipment includes huge vaults five floors be- low the street level, now holds up- wards of one billion dollars, fully one-third of which has come from foreign countries.
 The machinery of the assay office is working at high pressure in an effort to reduce and refine the for eign bullion and coin. Reports that large quantities of the gold are be- ing shipped to the Philadelphia mint lack official confirmation. Commenting on this inflow, which some bankers have viewed with ap- prehension, George E. Roberts, a vice-president of the National City Bank and for years director of the United States mint, is quoted as saying:
 i "It is natural that the people of
 
 Europe should be sending us their gold. Everybody, everywhere owes us money. The easiest way for them to pay, if they can, is in gold D Pointing to the reduced interna- tional value of the British bank note French and Belgian francs, the Italian lira and the shrinkage al- most to the vanishing point of Ger man marks and Austrian kronen. MT. Roberts adds: l "So long as the premium on the gold dollar exists and is general gold will probably continue to How here in great quantities. It seems incredible, however, that 1t can long continue at the present rate i Paul H. Warburg, a recognized banking authority, now chairman of the newly organized International i Acceptance Bank, Inc, says of the gold movement: With gold flowing our way, hav- ing resulted in an unprecedented accumulation of gold in our country and with the increasing strength of the federal reserve system, it would be plainly up to the United States not to hoard its vast bank i ing strength, but to make it avail able for other countries for the purpose of once more starting the wheels of commerce going.

WHEN JEFFERSON TOOK OATH
Early Presidential Inauguration at
Which There Was an Abundance
Of III Feeling.

The first Jefferson Inauguration had
more drama about II than Its three
predecessors. The President-elect was
received upon the portico of the new
ly completed north wing of the capi-
tol by Aaron Burr, whom Jefferson
cordially distrusted. And the oath of
office was administered, by one of his
bitterest enemies, Chief Justice Mar
shall, who had been appointed to Of
fee by Adams in the closing days Of
the administration, an act which JEFF
ferson regarded as not only an i'm
propriety but personal affront. JEFF
ferson's feelings towards Burr and
Marshall were well known.
Then the new president was escort
ed to the senate chamber, where he
delivered his inaugural address, one
of the most notable of all such
speeches. He was afterward escorted
to his boarding house. where he re-
ceived the congratulations of the for
eign diplomats and of the leaders of
the popular party, who rejoiced over
the defeat of the Federalists.
