DANGER AHEAD

The situation in Europe appears
troubled today. We hope that it will
clear quickly. France has sent an
ultimatum to Austria, protesting
against an importation of arms.
Italy resents the ultimatum, and pro-
poses to do some tall talking her
self. 1t is we'll to remember that the
World war started from similarly
petty disputes between Austria, Ser
bia and Russia, and needed only the
spark of an assassination to set
it off.
II there is any hope for return
ing prosperity in the world at
large, it would be speedily destroyed
by a general European war. Neither
France nor Italy, despite their
boastings, could stand another con-
flict, and the entire world would
suffer. 1t is our opinion that the
people of all nations are thoroughly
sick of war If diplomats persist in
forcing war on them those diplo-
mats will be risking the lives of
their governments, and their own
necks as well.-Ex.

a very large percentage do not pos
sess necessary legal qualifications
for voting. Thus the percentage of
the vote in November was probably
nearer Go than As.
This is clear evidence of the in
terest taken by all Alaskans in po-
litieal affairs. and is highly crafty
ing. 1t shows that voters were alive
to the issues laid before them, and
Informed themselves not only about
the several candidates for office but
of the positions taken by the parties
they represented on those issues.
The interest manifested at the
polls will continue as the victors-
the Democrats in this instance, go
into office and translate their
promises into performance. If they
keep their pledges, in so far as their
power makes it possible, there is no
reason to doubt that succeeding
elections will find them returned to
power. If they fail, through neglect
or Indifference, to make them good,
they will pay at the polls in future
elections. Interest in political mat
ters, which after all is but interest
in government. is the best stimtflant
known for good government, and
the most powerful deterrent to in
efficient government. 1t forces
parties to bring out the best talent
they have, keeps public officers
alive to their responsibilities and
weeds out incompetents ruthlessly.
The November vote is a healthy
sign. 1t augurs well for the future
And in succeeding elections even
higher percentages of the potential
Territorial vote should be cast.-Ju-

Alaska Trade Volume
Drops In Past Year

The total commerce of Alaska
for 1882, according to the annual
statement released this week by ].
C. Mcbride Collector of Customs at
juneau, aggregate $60.as4.15O,
which WAS the lowest point reached
in Alaska's commerce in nearly two
decades, The total commerce for
last year, 1881. was $76,126.410,
or s15,2S1,26O in excess of 1882.
The main causes of the sharp
decline in 1892 were in the near
collapse of the copper industry, for
long time major industry of the
Territory, and the unusually low
value of products of the fisheries
industry.
The total value of outbound COM
merce this year amounted to $40,
383,912. The inbound commerce
totaled $20,51O,23S, leaving a bal
ance of trade in the Territory's fav-
or of $1s,S73,674.
OF Alaskan industries, mining
stood almost alone in showing an
upward trend. Domestic gold and
silver shipped from the Territory
this year amounted to $9,328,879,
as against $9,018,S7S for 1881, or
an increase of $31O,501. This main
tains the record of annual increases
for the past four years. An en-
couraging feature also in connec-
ton with the gold mining industry
was the renewed interest in pros
pecting. The 1882 production OF
gold, with the output of former
years, brings the total value of the
gold produced in the Territory to
more than $4OS.36O,0 900 according
to the statistics of the Alaska
branch, U. S. Geological Survey.
The low value of copper and lead
offered no incentive to speed up
production in the copper mines, but
on the contrary there was a tend
.ency to curtail production and op-
Grafton as much as possible. Copper
mines of the Territory which pro-
duced 22,O55,271 pounds of copper
ore, valued at $2,O8O,33S in 1881,
yielded only 10,806,614 pounds of
ore in 1882, valued at $723,225.
No serious condition as to pro-
duction was shown in the fisheries
industry, but prices for its commod-
tiles reached a distressingly low
point. This price condition caused a
drop in the aggregate of all its
products from s36,322,S61 in 1881,
to $26,177,93S this year. The loss
was mainly in canned salmon. The

THE BETTER SYSTEM

II the prohibition amendment is to
be submitted to the states, as Con-
&ress has decided, we are glad the
convention method of ratification is
to be used. That is, the amendment
to repeal the amendment will be
passed on by conventions called
especially for the purpose in all
states, and not by the state legisla-
lures, as has been the case here
tofore.
A man may be elected to the leg
islature for half a hundred reasons,
any one of which may be good or
bad. But his excellence as legisla-
tor has nothing to do with his ideas
on the prohibition question, which
may not reflect the ideas of his con-
stituents at all. A man chosen by
his district to sit in on prohibition
law convention will be elected solely
ON his stand toward the dry law.
There has been too much hypoc-
risy on both sides of the prohibition
question. Now, with the question to
be submitted squarely to the states,
it is time for us to have an out-and
out vote on the question, in which
it will be determined for the first
time since 1919 exactly how many
people favor the existing system
and how many oppose it. The drys
in the past have unwisely opposed
such a vote; the vets, recently, have
been just as intolerant in demand
ing repeal without a referendum.
The most sensible procedure, of
course, is to see what the people
really think about the question.
Such an opinion they are, FORUM
ately. to express in the forthcoming
elections to the state dry-law con-
ventions. Elk.

COAL RULE

The salvation of the bitumi
nous coal industry lies with the
Federal Government in the ap
pointment of a director general
Of the industry, with subdirectors
in the various fields, Walter A,
Jones, Pittsburgh and Columbus
pil man, declared today.
Jones has made a study OF
the coal situation, particularly
with its relation to the scale Of
wages paid the miners.
Cannot Correct It
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
and other Government officials
nave expressed a sympathetic
feeling in the proposals he set
forth. He said:
"The time has come when
the destruction Of the resources
of the country, through vicious
and uncontrolled competition,
should be stopped by Govern
ment intervention.
"The history of the business
proves without dispute that
those running it cannot correct
it from within itSef-it must
be aided from without. This
help must come from the Gov.
ernment."
Meet Only the Demand
He advocated the Government
should Immediately take con-
troll of the coal industry. Produc-
tion should be allotted in an
equitable way to meet the de-
mand. The product should be
marketed through associations at
prices allowing reasonable
profit on a livable scale of wages.
He added:
every operator should be al
lowed to produce only his equit-
able share of the demand. The
result would be higher wages,
certain profits to the operators,
and through these increased
wages trade would be revived.
The thousands Of miners, now
idle, would have q purchasing
power to buy the various neces-
sites of life, which would re-
suit in the starting of many
types of industry"
