THE INTERESTING 8ITUATION IN |
OHIO.
The situation in Ohio anent the
senatorship is the thing next in inter
est politically since the presidential
matter has been disposed of.
It is assumed by the public general
ly iu Ohio, according to reports, that
Senator Foraker has not a ghost of a
show but be seems to think he has.
At any rate he is in the race and
hopes if he may not himself be
chosen he can name his successor.
"Charlie" Taft Is reported to be in
the lead but there are situations
every day evolving which materially
affect the result. The announcement
of the retiring governor, Harris, that
he is a candidate is one of them.
He, it is said, does not take this
step so much on his own account as
to show that he does not support
Foraker. But the announcement
brings about an alignment in which
Foraker finds comfort and encourage
ment.
The first ballot will be taken Janu
ary lath, two days after the inau
juration of Judson Harmon as gov
nruor The legislature will be In ses
sion for the week previously during
which few days Mr. Harris Is ex
pected to do some tall aud t-ffectlve
politics.
Thirty- three votes are now claimed
for Foraker by his adherents. The
claim is laughed at by politicians
but if he has them the Foraker and
Harris men would together have a
majority lu the caucus. The Harris
votes could never be swung to Fora
ker. but the latter might be able to
throw his solid support to Harris or
another candidate.
Congressman Burton occupies the
rather peculiar position. If our tele
graphic Information is correct, of
holding in abeyance an offer of the
most important portfolio in Mr. Taffs
cabinet, and leading the strongest
fight now opposing the ambition of
Mr Taffs brother.
AND SO HE SHOULD.
President Roosevelt is to bring suit
for libel against those newspapers
that, during the campaign printed
foolish stories of graft in connection
with the Panama canal purchase and
to which his name was attached. And
so he should.
The license taken as a matter of
right by some newspapers In the
name of liberty may oe less danger
ous. looking to the lasting public
weal, than would be governmental
press censorship, but there should be
SOME protection guaranteed the
good name of the good citizen as
against the smirch that comes inevit
ably as the result of reckless use by
even the most Irresponsible of news
papers. There should be SOME
THING that the yellow and irrespon
sible Journal should be COMPELLED
to hold sacred ? If not from any feel
ing of respect or consideration, then
from fear of punishment.
FIVE HUNDRED MILLIONS FOR
PROGRESS.
'
Five hundred millions for water
ways ? Whew ! But then
think ^ of the water ways.
That also is Whew!! By cut
ting through certain necks of land it
Is planned to make an Inside yass
age extending from Main to Florida
? suclr a water way as we have here
? Tacoma to Skagway ? for almost
the same distance. Then there is the
improvement of the Mississippi,
which contemplates the carriage of
dcean going vessels past New Or
leans directly to the city ot Chicago.
Such improvements are coming, in
time, and whit Impulse they would 1
jive to commerce, and so to produc
tion, quite takes one's breath away j
to contemplate. By all means, the
bond Issue.
From the financial statement pre
sented by President H. W. Cannon
of the Pacific Coast Steamship com
pany to the stockholders at the an
nual meeting held In Jersey City the
first week of November, it is learned
that the receipts and profits of the
company for the six months ending
June 30 showed a great reduction to
that for the same period of other
years. The gross earnings fell off
1133,^7, while operating expenses in
creased 1234,000, so that the
net earnings decreased 1367,647. The
balance available for dividends
amounted to $821,609. The president
stated that the business depression
following the panic of 1907 was sev
erely felt by the company. He also
stated that labor conditions, from an
employer's standpoint, continue un
satisfactory, ? Ex.
A feature of the Alaska exhibit at
the 1909 exposition In Seattle will be
the map and outline of the govern
ment road work. The value of this
work Is shown In the big trade that
the American towns and trading
camps are getting along the Interna
tional boundary. Thousands of dol
lars are reported to be spent by Can
adians on the American side because
they can reach the American towns
easier.
Skagway ? to the man ? will feel
deep satisfaction In the news of the
continuance upon the bench of this
district of Judge Royal A. Gunnison.
Judge Gunnison Is extremely popular
up this way as man and Judge. In
either capacity nobody here can think
of any other who oould fill his place
more to the general satisfaction. (
