EDITORIAL PAGE
A general attempt ts about to be '
made to stop the white slave traf
fic, which Includes all phases of the
social evil. Agents from the de
partment of Justice are arranging
for a systematic denning up of
those place* which are spoken of In
polite society only In whispers. It
Is reported that the Pacific coast
and Alaska are to be cleaned and
made whiter than Know
In order to clean up Alaska, or
any other place, there must be a
sincere sentiment against evil in
all its forms A bullet-headed of
ficer armed with the law and a club
cannot clean up anything, because
his own heart is not clean. There
are voluntary and involuntary white
slaves in many places, Alaska has
her proportion, but spasmodic pun
ishment will not stop the traffic;
like the destructive forest fires,
the traffic will not stop until It has
nothing further to feed upon. The
communities that permit the traf- '
tk>, th?m3? Ives furnish th? fuel for 1
the flame*.
Alaskans will welcome any sln
i-ere attempt to lessen or destroy
(he disease, but Alaska does not
believe that arrests, punishments
.ind fines, upon the women alono.
will accomplish the reformation The
reformation must corns with the r^
formation in the hearts of the com
munity. When communities elect
mayors that are pure, when mayor*
appoint officers that are pure, and
when pure men are noble enough to
accept offtclal positions for the bet
terment of the community, and the
community Is pure enough to bark
up. with all their moral energy, the
legal actions of their officers In the
discharge of duty, then the white
slave traffic will disappear never to
return.
After all, the question, though ap
parently coming from Washington,
la a local one to all communities. If
we vote corruption Into office, jus
tice and purity can do nothing. "In
the presence of stupidity, the gods
are helpless.''
Did We Build Panama
Canal For Benefit of
Other Countries?
By CHARLES H. SHERR1LL. Former Minister to Argentina
SUPPOSE for a moment that war should break out between
I England and Germany. What manufacturer in the United
States would trust his goods on a ship of either nation t
Seventy-five per cent of our trade is carried in English and
German bottoms. The result of a war would be that our foreign
trade, for which the American manufacturers have been working and
which i> increasing with gratifying rapidity, would RECEIVE A
SHOCK UNPARALLELED IN ITS HISTORY.
Your gnods would remain upon our docks, and the effect of this
sudden ciu-ok upon our manufactures would be felt not only by the
manufacturer*, but in the farthest corner of our country and in the
most ret?" te farmhouse.
In t o : ? ginning of our republic our wise forefathers lent to our
metvh:r ? :ie such legislative assistance as ENABLED US TO
BUILD UP SUCH A FLEET AS NOT ONLY TO BE AMONG
THE 1 : 1 RS UPON THE HIGH SEAS, but also when there
came the :1s of battle to win for us the wnr of 1819. So sue
ee*st'u >ii i ? nr seamen become that no less a man than James
Puohanar -tannl in Washington that governmental assistance was no
longer n< .-? -^irv to retain our supremacy npon the high seas. At
soon a? t > c \ornmenfal assistance was withdrawn our supremacy
began to slip awnv from us.
TODAY WE ARE THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE WORLD, BE
CAUSE AFTER BUILDING THE PANAMA CANAL AT A COST OF
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE ARE LISTENING TO
The SOPHISTRY OF THOSE WHO WOULD DEPRIVE US OF ANY
RETURN FROM OUR ENTERPRISE. I KNOW THAT iN EUROPE
STATESMEN AND MERCHANTS ARE AMUSED AT THE SPECTACLE
OF THE UNITED STATES BUILDING A CANAL FOR THEIR BEN
IFIT.

MOTHKR OF PRESIHEVTS
In only one respect can Virginia
?till be properly called the "Moth
er of Presidents ? only as to the
number of year* Virginians occupied
the executive office.
Since the beginning of the gov
ernment presidents have been taken
from onlv ten state*?- Virginia.
Massachusetts. Tennessee, New
York. Ohio. Louisiana. New Hamp
shire. Pennsylvania. Illinois and
Indiana
There have been five from Vir
ginia ? Washington, Jefferson, Madi
son. Monroe and Tyler.
Five from New York ? Van Bur
en, Fillmore, Arthur, Cleveland and
Roosevelt.
Flye from Ohio ? William Henry
Harrison, Hayes, Garfield. McKin
ley and Taft.
Three from Tennessee ?Jackson.
Polk and Johnson.
Two from Massachusetts ? John
Adams and John Quincy Adams
Two from Illinois ? Lincoln and
Grant.
One from New Hampshire ? Pierce
One from Louisiana? Taylor.
One from Pennsylvania ? Buchan
u
On? from Indiana ? Harrison.
New York is the mother of vi?
presidents, having had ten out of
the twenty-seven ? Aaron Burr, Geo
Clinton. Daniel D. Thompkins, Mar
tin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore.
William A Wheeler. Chester A. 1
Arthur. Levi P. Morton, Theodoiv
Roosevelt and James S. Sherman.
Of these ten three succeeded to
the presidency by reason of the
deaths of the incumbents. The three
were Fillmore, Arthur and Rooso
relt.
It was a remarkable fact that
?*it the end of President Roosevelt's
term. March 4, 1909, New York had
had the presidency about nineteen
years out of the twenty-eight since
the inauguration of President Oar
field in 1881 ? the period covered
by the White House service of Ar
thur, Cleveland and Roosevelt.
Still more remarkable is the fact
that at the end of President Taft'i
present term, March 4, 1913, New
York and Ohio will have had the
presidency thirty-two out of the
thirty-six years since the Inaugura
tion of Hayes.
Probably most remarkable of all
is the fact that Virginia, New York
and Ohio have held the presidency
seventy-three years of the 114 since
the beginning of the government.
