EDITORIAL PAGE
Then? is every promise of a rate
war between the White Pass corn
tauy and the Northern Navigation
company. o*er the question of busi
ness for the interior of Alaska me
coming season. As Shakespeare
?ould say, well, let em scra.i;
when transportation companies fall
out, the ship"j?er gets his dues.
' For a long time it has been con
tended, and there has been some
i-i* rit in the contention, that rates
to the Interior were too high, and
because of that fact development
has been retarded. Shippers main
tain that they cannot pay the high
rates demanded by the transporta
tion companies and take sufficient
machinery and supplies into the
tountry for the purpose of develop
ment. The transportation com
panies claim that their rates are
not too high considering the diffi
mities of .'ravel. If the promised
rate war is waged to a finish, Jarge
quantities of machinery wiVl no
doubt be taken into the Interior,
and while the companies may not
<;ei rich out of the initial trans
action, the.- certainly will profit by
the development which is sure to
follow.
The situation as it now stands is
about as follows:
Officials of the Northern Navi
gation company, which operates a
flee., of vos^eis on the Yukon river
during th ? season of open naviga
tion, have announced that they
would accept through freight at Se
attle, Tacorna, and Vancouver, B.
C., tor Dawson, Y. T., via St. Mich
ael.
The vessels of the line will con
nect with the steamships of the Al
aska Steamship Company and the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
which Inaugurate their Nome and
St. Michael sailings about June 1.
Steamship men see in the an
nouncement of the Northern Naviga
tion Company the first retaliation
for the deci lon of the White Pass
Yukon to invade American terri
tory the coming summer and to
plac ? American-built vessels on the
Yukon between Canadian Yukon
and American ports.
Transportation men who hav
studied th-> situation believe that
there will be the greatest rate war
in the hlttory of the northern coun
try the coming summer and that
the Northern Navigation company
will cut the rate from Seattle to
Dawson to one-half of the rate via
Skagway and the White Pass and
Yukon railroad.
On account of the duties levied
at Seattle and Tacoma the bulk of
the freight will be loaded at Van
couver. B. C., and handled in bond
to Dawson.
One hundred years ago today the
British sloop of war Peacock was
captured by the American ship Hor
net. Then England was stung agalt.

Let War Find
Us Asleep
BLESSED be the peacemaker" so long as he confines his ef
forts to the avoiding of bloodshed, but we cannot thank
him who allows his Utopian dreams to advise the STRIP
PING OF OUR NATION TO HELPLESSNESS AND
TURNING US OCT INTO THE SOCIETY OF WOLVES WHO
CONSTITUTE THE WORLD'S POWERS OF TODAY. We
thank the friend who takes the robber from our throats, but 110 thanks
to him w! > says: "Remove the chains from our doors. There are no
rohl? r?." Pity it is that the time for universal peace has not arrived,
but WOE to the nation that thinks it has and TRUSTS itself to tho
mercy of its neighbors.
Great progress has been made in arbitration for the settlement of
small differences, but point to me instances where a great difference
has been - ttled by arbitration or where war has been averted by it.
Sin ? the < ?tal>lisliment of The Hague court we have seen some of
the srreat.'st wars that have ever made the world run red with blood,
and pro! My as many men have died in war during the existence of
this court as during any equal period.
OUR BEST SAFEGUARD AGAINST WAR IS THAT PREPARED
NESS WHICH MAKES WAR SO COSTLY TO AN ENEMY THAT HE
DARE NOT ATTACK US. WE ARE LIKE A GREAT GIANT? HIS
MAW FILLED WITH THE GOODS THAT WEALTH PROVIDES? SLEEP
ING AND AWAITING SOME SMALL JACK TO CUT THE BEAN STALK
OF OUR FANCIED SECURITY FROM UNDER US.
Why Shouldn't Women
Do the Wooing?
By MAUD CLARTON BRABV, Author, of England
URELY the most foolish of all the many foolish conventions
t ..t ruin human joy is the decree that women must wait
pa- -ively to be wooed. Now, WHY SHOULD THEY!
Why can't they be natural and honest and show their feel
ings? Why must they be COMPELLED TO ACT AN INDIF
FERENCE quite foreign to them ?
Perhaps some of you hold with Shaw and Shakespeare that they
don't wait to be wooed. Some of them certainly don't Generally
ipoakinjr. h-wever. FEW WOMEN, EVEN NOWADAY8, HAVE
THE PLUCK TO GO DEAD AGAINST A CONVENTION OF
THIS SORT, which has such a tremendously strong hold on the
mainline *ense of fitnes?.
PE^S" 'J ALLY I THINK ALL THIS SORT OF THING SHOULD BE
MUTUAL 1ST THE SAME CONDITIONS FOR EACH, AND THE
MAN AJv"> WOMAN TO MEET EACH OTHER HALFWAY. WHY NOT?
