CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
The question of reciprocity between
the United State* and Canada, is one
thai is attracting mere and more atten
tion from the people on the line as time
?oe? on. Canadians have always favor
ed it. Now nearly all the American
border states favor it, and others are
seeing the necessity for it.
The disposition is to treat the subject
separately from the tariff question in
general. It is supported alike by re
publicans and democrts, by free-traders
and protectionists. The republican
"standpatters" of Massachusetts placed
a demand for it in their platform last
year. By that way only did they
save the governoiship which they lost
tbe year before because they did not
have it there while the democrats did.
Tbe republicans of Michigan and
Minnesota favor it. So do nearly all
the great news-papers, republican and
democratic, in the vicinity of the line
between Boston and the Pacific coast,
favor it.
It is urged everywhere that frea
trade between Canada and tbe United
States would mean more trade and
more profits for those of both countries.
As better and cheaper transportation
facilities and more trade between the
east and west helped those on both
sides of the Mississippi so would the
removal of the barriers to commerce
help those both north and south of the
imaginary line between the English
speaking people* of North America.

WHAT THEY THINK OF IT
r
Some of the tories of Southeastern
Aluka would have the people believe
that the agitation for self-government
for this district is confined to South
eastern Alaska. The Dawson News
does not look at it that way, apparently,
for it says:
"Also the time is not far distant when
the DEMAND OF THE INTERIOR
FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT cannot be
longer refused by the federal govern
ment."
In another column is reproduced an
editorial from the Nome Nugget, urg
ing the people of Alaska to stand be
hind their representatives in congress,
irrespective of party or section, and
help them to get self-government. The
unanimity of the people for self-govern
ment is one of the things recognized by
the Nugget which is asking the people
not to to sleep but to uphold the hands
of their representatives.
The fact is as was stated by the Daily
Alaskan sometime a?o. There has not
been ao much agitation, perhaps, in the
Interior and at Nome because, there is
no opposition to home rule there. There
has been lacking the stimulation to
which prevails in Southeastern Alaska.
NOT NEWS IF ABOUT ALASKA
Every little while an eastern paper
has something to say of Alaska, but
usually [it is only to show how little is
kown of this district and how little at
tention is paid to it. The Mont pel ier,
Vt., Argus and Patriot of August 15,
the day after the Alaskan election for
delegate to congress, containing an
editorial which says that Alaska is to
have a novel experience in the .shape
of a congressional campaign.
Were the Kanakas of the Sanwitch
islands, the Negroes of Port Rico or
the yellow tribes of the Philippines
electing their first member of congress
it is not likely that any paper in the
east would know nothing of it until
after it was all over. The reason for
tnis is that the press of the country has
counted anything refering to anv of
the American non-contiguous posses
sions, except Alaska as news. Only on
the Pacific ?oast, and with two or three
notable exceptions, are the newspapers
interested in Alaskan news.
GREATER GALVESTON
The Daily Alaskan is in receipt of a
special edition of the Galveston News
containing much special matter con
cerning the city of iu publication.
Notwithstandingthatitisonly six years
since the city was practically destroyed
by an inundation resulting from a hnr
rlcane which carried the waters of the
Gulf of Mexico over It, Galveston Is
today a greater city than it ever >va?.
Its foreign exports rank nezt to those
of New York, excelling: those of New
Orleans by 10 per cent., those of Balti
more and Boston by more than 50 per
cent, and doubling Philadelphia. The
city takes a leading place in the expor
tation of wheat, cotton and livestock; it
is a fishing center and one of the
favorite health resorts in the country.
Galveston is a great citv and will be a
greater. It is destined to be one of the
very greatest centers of population,
wealth and activity in the nation.
Judge Alton B. Parker, late demo
cratic candidate for the presidency, has
said that he will try to assist in the
election of Roger C. Sullivan, of
Illoinis, to the chairmanship of the
next democratic national committe. It
is safe to say that Mr. Sullivan does not
feel that the victory has been won be
cause of this acquisition. Poor, piti
able Parker! What a sorry attempt he
has made to retain the leadership of
his party. Even yet he seems not to
understand that he lost his temporary
leadership on that fateful November
evening when the last ballot to be voted
in the last presidential elec'ion was de
posited in the box.
Ladies Aid To Moot
An important business meeting of the
Methodist Ladies' Aid Society will be
held at the home of Mrs. J. A. Godinc
tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
sharp. There will be a committee re
port, and a full and prompt attendance
is requested.
