New Alaska Cable.
1 Seattle Times. ]

While reconstruction Of the Alaska cable is re- quired facilitate business between the States and tho Northland the relaying of the line is import ance from military viewpoint The first replacement work will be done between Seaote and Sitka and plans then call for the substitution of the stretch between Sitka and Seward. Further extension is regarded possible Dutch Harbor and from there continuation of the system either direct or by way of Yokohama Shanghai, the Philippines has been matter of frequent discussion.
 The first piece of Alaska cable was laid between Juneau and Skagway in August, 1901. The line be- tween Seattle and Sitka put i'll operation in August, 1904, and the extension Valdez was made later in the year The system was completed to Seward in 1sO5 All together main line and branches 1t has a length of 2,S00 miles
 With the $750,000 made available in the War Department bil now before Congress q new line can be laid between Seattle and Sitka. To obtain inc material and do the work would require little mora than year, and then the next Congress would be expected to appropriate similar amount for recon struction between Sitka and Seward.
 Extension of the system from Seward to Dutch fafbor distance of GOO mes will be certain if the Aleutan seaport is selected naval station Dutcb Harbor because of it's proximity to the Asiatio ooas, IS under under investigation by naval officers IT is instant about 4,ooo miles in direct line from the Philippines, and 2,600 miles from Yokohama
 better cable facilities are needed between the united States and the Far East, and recently tbo report was current that the company owning the Pacific cable might lay extension to Japan from butch Harbor if the Federal authorities should con uhue the1r system to that port private corporation however, could not be- expected to construct line rom Dutch Harbor to the Orient and divide with bo government tolls through business Rather tha company could better afford lay it's own cabe for the entire distance.
 Whatever the outcome of the tentative and r,thar remote plans of the Army Dd Navy for a Far East extension, early reconstruction of the Alaska svson VIII greatly aid business here and in the northern territory.

Where the Nation Gained.
Cincinnati Enquirer ]

What is most satisfying in the confirmation of Pierce Butler, of Minnesota, to be Associate Justice or the Supreme Court of the United States, is the accompanying demonstration of the independence of the United States Senate of the group of so-handed inadvertently minded internatienalists who inspire much of the radicasm of this country and who pre- tend to be ntelectuals of the forward looking type
 These false beaeons the shore of poti economy were dsregarded by the members of the senate when it became apparent that Justice Butler was being opposed solely because loyal American he purged the University of Minnesota of which in sututfon he was Regent, of those who, during the war, under the guise of freedom of speech, taught treason. Upon this incident alone was built the charge that he was temperamentally unfit.
 The shrill and criticisms that arise from the pages of the counterfeit liberal periodicals since the cefeat of the Shipseads La Follettes and Fraziers Tn their assault upon the Justices character merely go to confirm the Senate's wisdom of action Because these printed allies of oregn influences have abandoned all other accusations and howl hyena-like over this one alleged defect in his record
 They realize, with some sorrow and anger that prop has been placed under the organized social system they seek to toppe down, thereby making their task all the harder. The sonorous Latin of a Weil-known maxim might be employed here as comment, but the vernacular will do quite as well

The German purpose is to APP
