When th- Daily Alaskan support
ed the White Pass railroad In Its
effort to secure a sub-port or en
try at hlrbanki. th.it l weight
mlgh; be shipped \ia Skaewa.- and
laaded th? re In competition with
the American linee operating on
the Yukon, Collector of Customs j
Willis ?n? red at the proposition
and rushed into print witn the state i
meet that ' only one obscure news
paper was supporting the idea '
8lnce that time It has developed
that all the newspapers of the In
terior were likewise supporting th?'
proposition for a sub-port of entry
As an example we reprint the fol
lowing frorr. the Fairbanks Times:
Of the many api>ointmeuts which
have been made by President Tan
during the past month in his effort
to prevent the winners of the recent
national election from coming into
the full possession of their oyer
whelming victory until near th<
time for another election, the nam
ing of Collector of Customs Willi*
probably will cause the greatest dis
satisfaction among the people ot
Tanana and the lower Yukon valley
Mr Willis may be an exemplary
collector, and so far as tie conduct
of his office at Juueau Is concern
ed. there may be no reason w hy he
should not be reappointed for an
other term But as the representa
tive of ths administration in the
matter of the proposed creation of
a sub-port of entry at Fairbanks.
Mr Willis has left the Impression
la this valky that he is no better
than the horde of other govern
meet underlings who have contribu
ted, by their actions as office-hold
ers. to the defeat ot the Republican
party.
Mr. Wi!'i* came to Tanana la.-!
summer as the special agent of the
administration to ascertain the ad
visability of creating an open pot
at Fairbanks for the aecommodn
tion of foreign steamers. Inuring hi>
staj of several days in the cltj
Mr Willis made no effort to lean
the views of Fairt.anksa is regard
:ng the proposed sub-port. and. it
fact, even denied Le was here In )
connection with the matter
After enjoying the hospitality of
the Tanana club for a very shor?
time. Mr Willis departed from th<
city u quietly as he came On th?
Journey up the Yukon, he prepared
his report to the administration
which was. In effect, tba: foreign
boats coulo not secure enough bus
iness from the shippers of Tanana
and the lawer Yukon to justify the
ersstion of a sub-port at Fairbanks
And the rvport tud far greater
weight with the administration than
did the lengthy telegram, which
was sent at about the same time by .
the Fair xnks Commercial club, re
investing that the White l'?*s com
pany bo i>?rmltted to operate on
the A ukon ami Tanana
river?.
The expense Incident to the e*
trbllshm ?nt of a branch of the cus
t ms se. vice at Fairbanks would be
lost sight of entirely among the
nun/ UeiTib of larre amount which
hxve b>vn hung on to the appro
prlt'ion will bjr the preaent admin
istra? on with less justification
Mr Willis may, or at least should,
k' ow the coat of maintenance of
*rch an office aa would be requir
es if Fairbanks were made a sub
port of entry; but we challenge
him to name a single ahipper with
whom he talked concerning the
piohable amount of freight which
would be shipped via the upper Yu
kon were Fairbanks to be opened to
foreign boats.
We do not know what reason Mr.
Willi* had for reporting as he did,
but there Is reason to believe, what
ever his object, that he will be un
able to repeat the performance un
der the administration of Presi
dent Wilson ? If he should be so
fortunate as to continue in office
after the present autocratic sys
tem of rule has ceased
Alaska has a law which It will
te well for Yukon to contemplate.
Yukon outpoints Alaska in most re
spects in regard to provisions for
protection of property and lives,
hut Alaska's law to the effect
there shall be no liquor sold in a
-ommunity where there Is no local
offlcei of the peace is one of the
<ood la?s which Yukon las as yet
not adopted. Alaska not only has
he law on the books, but enforces
t. M ushers arriving here from
rairbi>nks say It ?as impossible to
,'et a drink at any of the road
ionses where there is no marshal,
md there are no marshals at no
laces between Haw son and Fair
banks save at Circle snl Eagle,
while there is a roadhouse every
wenty-five miles.
H.iu there been a police officer at
Black Hills wheu the trouble start -
? d last week Mrs. Pmith and Colin
Kelly could have appealeJ for pro^
ectlott against the hootrh-craied
Smith. .As It was, there was no
rotection.
Arguments will be made that
Hansen from outly'ng posts bring
revenues Such may be true, but
the sum they return compared to
the loss n other respects makes
the returns altogether a doubtful
"Sset ? and particularly so when
secured at the loss of safety of
life Dawson News
American Women Consider
Children a Great "Respon
sibility" to Be Shunned
ty Dr. LLORENTE. Physician to th? Royal Fr.mlly of Spain
RACE snici<le in America is largely influenced by an apparent
lack of religious feeling. In Spain the fcveinge family num
bers seven and eight children.
The WOMEN OF SPAIN REGARD CHILDREN AS A
JOY AND MOTHERHOOD AS A HAPPy GOD GIVEN DUTY. THE
AMERICAN WOMEN APPEAR TO DISPASSIONATELY REGARD CHIL
DREN AS GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES TO BE SHUNNED.
R R R
The American woman puts off "these responsibilities" until it is
too l*tt; then she leads a lonely and MISERABLE OLD AQE. 1
think this very fact mnkes for a great deal of social unrest and family
misery here.
The same noticeable lack of religious feeling is also noticeable
among a lanre class of women of Paris. They hare SCORiVED
ilOTHKRUOOP. They are crying for greater social liberty. They
want to be free and independent to follow their individual desires,
tnwrli like lite rich ami leisure class here. They have numerous
ACTIVITIES OCTSIDF THE HOME which engage th?ir time
an?l i?tere?'. an-! tlie\ SlIPX THE RESPONSIBILITY which
the* fei l lint eliildli<?>d brings.
