THAT" CUSTOM HOUS? BLIGHT "
The Daily Alaskan's editorial on the
"Custom House Blight" has been mis
understood by a few. It seeins that it
has been considered u a reflection upon
the manner of the enforcement of the
revenue laws in the north. Nothing- of
the kind was intended. The Daily
Alaskan believes that the customs
service in Alaska is splendedly officer
ed. It belives it is efficient, liberal,
energetic, and thoroughly hoDest. It
ia doing its work in a manner that is
highly creditable to all connected with
it. Almost can the same be said of the
Canadian service. With one or two
exceptions? lamented alike by Cana
dians and Americans?the Dominion
has a splendid corps of men in the
north who are as liberal as the laws of
their country will permit them to be?
and their laws are as liberal in most
respects as our own.
The intention of the Daily Alaskan
was to show the utter lack of wisdom,
from a businessstandpointorany other,
of the continuation of a high tariff wall
between the United States and Canada.
The intention was to illustrate the need
for complete commercial union between
the two countries.
Free trade between me ijuum otovco
acid Canada would facilitate the de
velopment of the commerce and resour
ces of both. It would remove one of
the most vexations and forbidding
obstacles to trade that is existing. The
means of transportation between the
two countries has been solved. The
border is crossed and re-crossed by rail
roads. But at the boundary, every
where, the cus'.om house stands, levy
ing an unnatural tribute, a barrier to
progress.
Tbe general proposition of protection
is not involved in this question. Poli
tics are not involved, t'ree trade be
tween these two countries? commercial
union ? is advocated by democrats and
republicans and by liberals and conser
vatives. It is urged by the best
students in both countries. It is op
posed by those whose monoplies would
be in danger were there a change.
What a tribute, whether willingly
or unwillingly paid, is that to President
Roosevelt, when it is admitted by
fiiend and foe alike, notwithstanding
the great popularity that has been
shown to be William J. Bry
an's, that he can have the pres
idency for another term is he but say
the word! So universally is it conced
ed, even by the ultra Bryan men, that
Roosevelt c uld defeat any man the
democrats could name that many favor
his nomination by borth parties.
Leslie's Weekly recently expressed
considerable alarm for fear the demo
crats would recognize this to be the in
evitable outcome of the political situa-l
tion and appropriate the president by
nominating him first.
Winston Churchill, tbe novelist, is a
cacd.date for tbe republican nomina
tion for governor of New Ham-hire.
If he is as good a politician and states
man as he is a novelist he will get the
nomination, win the election and make
an excellent governor.
They ?re going some up in the old
Pine Tree state today. This is election
da; there, and the; hare had the warm
Mt campaign the; have had is a score
of years.
The Minnesota democrats hare re
nominated John A. Johnson for gov
?rnornor and declared for him as a
candidate for vice-president.
The Juneau Dispatch, the Fairbanks
Times and the Nome Gold-Digger have
adopted the "reformed" spelling.
The Alaska Forum, of Rampart, has
ruspended publication. It was a very
strorg anti-Wickersham paper.
