ROOSEVELT' j KILL WILL PASS
If ever there was any doubt about the
railroad rate bill passing the senate in
a form that will be satisfactory to Pres
ident Koos 'Telt it has been disposed of,
and that by the stupidity of those re
publican senators who oppose the pres
ident, In order that they might slap
him in the face, Senators Eikins, Al
drich, Foraker, Kean and Crane, of the
committee on interstate commerce,
representing the republican majority,
saying the bill is not republican but
democratic, placed it in charge of Sen
ator Tillman, the ranking democratic
member of the committee and a person
al enemy of President Roosevelt.
The result of this action has been to
cause the minority of the republicans,
who favor the president plan to have
passenger and freight rates, when fixed
by the interstate commerce cornmis
aion, to become effective immediately
rather than after an appeal from the
commission shall have been "decided in
the federal courts, to refuse to consider
any compromise in the interest of party
harmony. This will insure a bill that
will be satisfactory to the president at
least twenty, and probably a half-dozen
mote, republican votes, in addition to
those of all the 33 democrats. It is
claimed that th?re are 33 republican
senators who are against the president.
Had these not given the democrats
charge of the bill it is possible that a
sufficient number of other republicans,
in the interest of harmony, would have
been willing to accept the be<t bill they
could get as a party measure, and the
result might not have been at all in
conformance with President Roosevelt's
ideas. The situation is making politic
al capital for the democrats, though
Senator Tillman has taken a very high,
non-partlzin position, one that can in
no wise be offensive to the republican
minority thai just now is fighting un
der his leadership.
It is now said that the maneuver of
the railroad senators is likely to make
friends of President Rocsevelt and Sen
ator Tillman. An effort is bring made
by mutual f'iends to get them together
and the presideot has been saving nice
thi gs about the pitcbfi rk senator.

ALASKA WILL COME AGAIN
Tbo S< attle Times has caught the
Alaska spirit? the spirit that never
says die. In commenting upon the
failure of congress to act upon the
Sulzer territorial government bill, the
Times, with much truth, says :
" Alaska has been refused a territo
rial form of government by congress,
but Alastta will come again and again,
to knock at the door, and each time she
will be greater and stronger? ard each
time the audiedce will be larger and
more appreciative. There is as little
?ens* in trving to keep Alaska from
territorial government as there would
be in trying to prevent Seattle from be
ing the greatest city on the Pacific
coast."
The Times mentions, incidentally,
one of the most encouraging things in
thu whole fight for the application of
fundamental American principles of
government to Alaska, and that is that
the country at large is giving the peo
ple of the north a constantly "larger
and more appreciative " audience.
While Juneauites have been ridicul
ing those of the remainder of Alaska,
calling the Seattle convention a farce
and abusing Gov. Swineford acd Dick
Ryan, those people of Alaska who are
not so fortunate as to call Juneau their
home, the Seattle convention, Gov.
Swineford and Dick Ryan have secured
a delegate to congress for Alaska.
What has Juneau done except to maKe
wry faces at everybody and everything
?except the mirror?
The contention that Harry Orchard
was a Pinkerton detective seems not to
have met with favor. It is now appar
ent that he was a common crook, who
got caught, and squealed like nearly all
crooks do under similar circumstances.
Tne promotion of V. H. Hahn to the
vacancy caused by the resignation of J.
P. Rogers is a recognition of a worthy
man for efficient and faithful services.
It will give great pleasure to the very
many friends of Mr. Hahn.
