EM SESSION FOR THE TARIFF CALLED
BY AN EXTRAORDINARY PRESIDENT '
Now here we have another of those
extraordinary moves on the board for
which Mr. Roosevelt is peculiar. To
this time he has ignored the tariff ques.
tioo. He nas heard bimself criticised for
it a thousand times and said never a
word. He has sent message
after message to the congress
and referred ODly incidentally
to this matter, which many of the
leading men of his and the other pary
have declared to be the thing beside
which all the other things to which he
gave the right of way, were merely
incidental. He has been roasted for
hoping to curb the trusts while the
tariff wall remained for their encour
agement. He ha? been caricatured as
wielding the b g stick over puo? wrongs
and remaining blind to the rial monster
that was making the rich richer and
the poor poorer.

But he no doubt bad his mlod made
up on this move loo? ago and was
merely biding his time. All men
know that the tariff is not a thin? to
be treated in dilletante fashion, It is a
big and absorbing subject. It re
quires concentration, and that not by
a few members of congress if all parts
of the country are to be satisfied, but
by the whole congress ? at least all
that part that is capable of thinking.
Now he springs his hand,- He is to
call a special session of congress to take
up and exhaust this Important business
so that the democrats who are prepar
ing io set this mat'erof the tariff up as
aa excuse for their existence, in the next
campaign, shall have been forestalled
and see the thing already done which
they would call upon the electors to
put tbem into power to do. ^
It is an extraordinary president we
have. He left the regular session of
congress to go its way and transact its
business, attend to immediate need*,
undisturbed by the thoughts of this
grave business which be had ia mind
for Its later consideration.
The great majority of the people
agree thit this matter of the tariff is
one at least of the really important
things, and thev will applaud if the
president shall, as it is announced that
he will do. call a special session of the
congress to set it right.
ALASKA'S CALL

Come and share my wealth of these!
"Not alone on sea and mountain
Are there fortujs to be won;

And their gold outshines the sub!
"There are millions of my acres

To make homes .*? r sturdy freemen;
Will ye linger south as slaves?"
Strong arms acd stout hearts,
List to f.ir Alaska's call!
Here a royal realm awaits you!

?Will Atkinson, Valdez, Alaska.
[Mr. Atkinson, in these verses, as it
set-ms to tbe edior of tbe Alaskan, ha
oolv oartinily caught the spirit of Alas
ka. In the matter of outdoors aod op
portunity he speaks true, but when be
pictures Alaska as "fair," the term is
not i;ood It is not tbe word. Alaska
is not fair. Alaska appeals to him who
loves the ruceofl, ."tern, massive, majes
tic and sublime In nature. It is pecu
liarly the lane of the free. Alaska,
with her fisheries, her gold, copper aod
almost tbe <vhole list of mioerals, ia
here for the taking? but In the ordio
?ry sense of the word Alaska is not
"fair."]

HOW GALE SAVED THE DAY
AUik>n'i Special Washington Correspondent
Washington, D. C., Feb. 27? The ad
vantage of having a delegate to congress
from Alaska was nerer exemplified in a
stronger manner than a few days ago
when Representative Humphreys,
without consulting the delegate, at
tempted to rush through the house a
rery innocent looking little bill per
taining to the fishing industry of Alas
ka. He brought the bill up In the
house and asked that it bo passed by
unanimous consent, but it happened
that Congressman Cale was in his seat
and he stated that he would like to
have a look at it before it passed. The
bill was Immediately withdrawn.
Although innocent In appearance,
the bill was really for the benefit of the
Ashing trust, acd would have given
that combine a still better strangle
hold on the fishing I ldustry of Alaska,
and would have prevented Independent
fishermen from following their occupa
tion on any of the Alaskan streams.
The bill was ostensibly for the pur
pose of allowing persons or corpora
tions to establish private fish hatcher
ies In Alaska, and one of its clauses pro
vided that the persons or corporations
establishing such hatcheries bo Riven
fort; acres of non-minoral I ana at the
mouth of the stream where the hatch
ery is established, together with the
use of tbaa 'jacent tide lands -?tnd all
rights-of-way, eas ements of roads and
ways of ingress and egress at the
mouths of streams, together with the
use of all necessary salt and fresh
wator.
The bill, if passed, would have al
lowed the forty acres to bo staked in
any manner, and doubtless the loca
tions would have been mado to extend
across the mouths of the streams, so
that independent fishermen would have
been prevented from following their
occupation on any stream where a
hatchery was constructed.
It was somewhat discourteous of Mr.
Humphrey, to say the least, to intro
duce a bill in Congro^a. pertaining to
Alaska, without first consulting the
properly appointed delegate from the
territory. There is no doubt that the
bill would have been rushed through,
if Alaska hadnot had a representative in
congress, and then everybody would
have wondered how it happened.
J. J. Underwood.
Attention is called to the f*ct in a dis
patch from Dawson that no sleds travel
ing: the winter rrails of Alaska and Yu
kon have runners more than four feet
apart and that these make the trails
through the long stretches of the wild
erness, and that any automobiles that
attempt to travel these trails that are
wider thaa the s'eds will sink in the
snow and cannot travel. It is a point
that ought te be looked into, in the
great race.
The Alaskan would respectfully oil
attention to the "History of Skagway's
Name," written for the Northern Light
by a Skagway lad, twelve yoara of ace.
It is a neat bit of composition, tel's a
pretty story in simple and direct fash
ion, creditable not only to a twelve
year-old, but to anybody.
