BUSINESS AFTER THE WAR.
Opinions vary as to what will happen to business in the
United States when the war is over. One writer says our sea
eonniH ree is to he rehabilitated; we will capture the trade ot
Uafin-America; and, through the Philippines, share the trade
of China; while our vacant lands will he tenanted by honest re
fugees fleeing from the tyranny of foreign powers.
“All this seems to he more or less chimerical,” says Alex
ander Del Mar, in a recent article ir- American Bankers’ Asso
ciation journal, “until wo have a federal budget, the necessary
revenue laws will continue to interpose their customary ob
stacle to commerce; the Latin-American trade seems likely to
continue for the most part in its well grooved channels; the
• riental trade, often promising, but always elusive, will play
its disappointing role again; and the refugees, or such of them
as may he desirable immigrants, will find enough to do at home
ml probably under improved auspices.”
Continuing, Mr. Del Mar says, however, the United States
is destined to become the great banking nation, and its busi
ness men the neutrals, the middlemen of the civilized world.
Neither opinion takes in the trade of Russia, which the hig
men of eastern finance are figuring on more than anything
else in these days of after the-wnr soothsaying. It will ho of
tremendous advantage to the Northwest. One hundred million
dollars in trade, formerly given Germany, should turn in large
measure to this country. The Russian trade is so vast, with
such enormous scope' for growth, both in the* quality and quan
tity of demands that it promises to buoy up commerce with the
United States to a degree difficult now to comprehend.—Ta

A WARNING TO TRAITORS.
'.'o ut to which hyphenated Americanism has per
meated the bod\ politic ot ti . ! nitod Slates, is wo!1 illustrated
bv the warning issued yesterday by Secretary ol War Baker,
in \vhi< h lie announces the intention oj this government, to treat
all who join tin' army with evil intent as spies.
It i*^ asserted that many foreigners arc joining the militia
of the different states, not through love for this country, nor
for a desire to see service, but b> do whatever they can to create
confusion. It is also asserted that foreign governments have
enlisted men in this army in order to determine the efficiency
of tin' American soldier, and find out to what extent he is to he
feared as an enemy.
That such statements are true is appalling 1b the average
\nierican. Yet we must give Secretary Baker credit for hav
ing good grounds upon which to base his belief before lie is
surd such a warning.
The annals of American history have been singularly free
from accounts of traitors, and it is to he hoped that we are not,
at this late day, to have to begin hanging soldiers for betraying
their country7.
ROOSEVELT TO THE FRONT.
I
The promptness with which Theodore Roosevelt comes to
the front with an offer to raise a division of 12,000 men in t he
event of war with Mexico, is illustrative of the man, and indi
cates why he is dear to the hearts of American citizens.
There is no hesitation about Theodore. He figures that
the United States is about to go to war and at once comes to
t]„> front with the offer of all the assistance lie can give.
Whatever may be said about Roosevelt, one thing is cer
tain and' never is denied, he is all American.
He is the type of American, now few in public life, which
lias made this country famous. He always is ready to go to the
front, and yet is greater in peace than in war.
If there were more men like Theodore Roosevelt holding
office in America today, this country would not now be subject
to insult from the band of cutthroats at our southern border.

\n interesting occurrence in connection with the diamond
drilling now being done on the property of the Alaska Gold
Belt Companv, near Juneau, Alaska, is that another world s
record has been established .at a Juneau mine, a bore of 1,680
foot having hem completed’ at the face of the 2,250 foot main
working tunnel on the property. In this connection it might
be nu :iti ml tin t the work was performed by a Sullivan
“Champion,” with a rated capacity of but 1,500 feet. On the
same propertv another hole will be drilled at the portal of the
tunnel to prospect the area below. It is understood that the
same contractors, Uynch Brothers, ot Juneau, ha\e a contiuct
for 4,(KM) feet of drilling on the Tyre Consolidated group at
Douglas, owned by If. A. Kinzie, former superintendent for the
Treadwell Gold Mining Company.—Alaska N AV. Mining
