BRITT RESOLUTION NOT DICTATED BY
 CANNERIES.

The charge was frequently made by lobbyist during the session of the Legislature that the Britt fisheries resolution dictated by the can nerymeh, sometimes called the Interests that it in favor of the capitalist and against the poor man, etc. etc, etc.
 Of course every familiar with the situation knew this charge not true. Many of those who made the charge probably knew it to be false
 In the first place the cannerymen have never agreed with unanimity upon the sort of legislation that was needed in Alaska. In the beginning most Of them opposed any sort of self government for Alaska for the that they in favor of local control of the fisheries. When former Delegate Wickersham procured passage of his bill giving Alaska Legislature he had it exempt the fisheries from the subjects which the Legislature would legislate From that time on, until compara lively recently most of the cannerymen opposed any sort of local control the fisheries Some of then are still opposed to it. It this element that in. vested thousands of dollars to put The Empire ou of business because it consistently advocated Ter ritorial control of the fisheries and full Territorial Government
 After years of agitation many of the cannerymen having confidence in the fairness of the people O.. Alaska and seeing how impossible it has been during
 period of fifteen agitation legislation from Congress for the preservation of the lsheries arrived at the conclusion 1t would be better to trust the matter to Alaska Legislature
 The main feature of the bill proposed in the Britt resolution was that which the Territory contro over the fisheries. That a provision that some or the canerymen-possibye most of them-accepted many of them, with reluctance. Former Senator Heckman and others accepted it for the first time this year Many are still opposed to it. and their minions and accompces opposed the Britt resolution
 Those who opposed the Britt resolution hav, voted to let the matter stand to regulated unde laws to be prepared by the Delegate Congress the Fisheries Bureau and the Congressional committee. which handle that sort of legislation Let us sec what they accomplish, and when. Unless they succeed In adopting some kind of legislation the subject vii remain just where it has been since 1906 If they adopt legislation, unless it provides for Territoria, control so that the Territorial Legislature may amend the laws, 1t Will not be satisfactory A law providin TOT Joht management by the Federal and Terri torial government would not likely meet the situation

 The President, according to advices from Wash ington, still is sincerely desirous of making trir to Alaska during the coming He will extend his projected tour to tho Territory if Congress adourns at sufficiently early date. His plans, however contingent upon the course of the houses. He cannot leave the national capital so long they in session.
 Seattle should not relax it's efforts to have MT Harding make this trip. It is vtally necessary that he should for himself what the Northland needs Tt is desirable that friends of Alaska in this city should proceed on the theory that Congress will adjourn and the President be at liberty to make tho "trip until the contrary is proved true.
 Whether the Chief Executive cannot make the Territorial journey, Secretary of the Interior Fa should be warmly urged to do so Had Secretary Payne been in office early in the Wilson administration, there is question that bis visit to Alaska would have been great benefit Coming as 1t did at the conclusion of Mir Wilson second term it unfortunately productive linn fitted results
 MT Fall will deal with numerous matters of i'm portance to the Northaland during the year He and the great undevedoped empire will profit from a visit at this early stage in the administration affairs.
 MT. Fall will be welcome to Seattle and to Alaska whether he comes in the presidential paray or alone
 Every effort must be made to impress that fact upon the present head of the Interior Department

RADICAL VS. DEMAGOGUE.

The radical and the progressive are as wide apart as the poles in principle. The radical is almost ai"ays class adyocate-just much a class advo- cate as any one of the so-caled Predatory Inter ests. His only quarrel with the Wall Street mag nate IS that he thinks the Wall Street magnae class IS getng the best of things and the radical want the class to which he belongs to get the best of i. II he cannot get everything he wants immediatev V TOT ms class he wants to make all possible trouble for other ciasses-to tear things up and destroy If he cannot rise to point high the scale of the classes ne wants to pull down the classes which are high in the scale to his own level. He would rule or ruin
 The progressive. the other hand recognize. no class or stands for government for and by those or all classes He is never a destroyer He is always builder. He strives to conserve all the headway that mas been made and to proceed further toward constructive and orderly progress
 However. the radical is much more aamirab,, memDer or society than the demagogic politician who caters Tor support. The demagogue is really notb ing or anything.
