WORSE THAN FOOL1BH
Sen?L< >r Pile*' attack on the Canadian
raci tic's Alaskan service ia woite than
foolish His bill would b? futile and
for chat reason foolish. If it were made
?tractive it would be opposed to the best
interest of the people served by the
(??tupany aod for that resson worse
thin foolish.
If the C&aadiao Pacitic were com
pelled to quit selling through tickets to
Seattle it could not be stopped from
selling them to Vancouver, and it could
demand the priyelege of the steamship
association of selling them at a lower
price than the other companies charge
to Seattle. It could aod wouid eon
tinue to do business at the old stand
But the principle involved in this at
tempt 10 cut tail trade is its worst
feature. What the intents of Alaska
and the Paciiic coast generally demand
rnort than anything eise is better facili
ties for trade. The man who attempts
to throw obstacles in the way of
freer trade is not working in the inter
est of the general good.
In the meantime it would be well for
the Canadians to reduce tolls on Ameri
can vessels calling at Canadian pert*.
Michael J. Heney is the Utest man to
say the "business interests" of Alaska
are with Gov. Hoggatt and against
home rule for Alaska. He says he is in
position to know. What would be more
interesting would be a statement from
Mr. Heney as to what he means by the
??interests." and what by "business."
In opposing the commission plan
recommended by Gov. Hoggatt Mr.
W aske> is simply opposing a plan that
tbe people of Alaska repudiated by an
overwhelming majority when thev
voted against Murane for delegate to
congress and against his platform.

The only result that could come from
Uoggatt'a commission would be au
A.ukin program that would occupy
the attention o! the next congress 10
the delusion of consideration of chose
things in which the people of Alaska
are interested.
Acting in accordance with the decis
ion of congress. President Rooaerelt j
has rescinded his reform spelling order.
He has again accepted Webster and!
