GOOD ARGUMENT FOR OPENING ALASKA COAL.
«
The Alaska market still depends largely on British Colum
bia coal. That the supply may be cut off any time is indicated
in the following editorial in the Vancouver News-Advertiser:
No shortage in the coal supply of this province should be
heard of on this coast unless some great mine disaster has made
production impossible. Wo talk about finding markets for our
mineral products and that may be a problem with the limited
population. But there never should be a shortage of coal for
the home market. Tin* mine owners owe it to the public to have
alwa\ s a sul'licient reserve supply for any emergency, and coal :
should not be exported while the reserve is inadequate. The
coal of the province originally belongs to the public. Those who
obtain the right to mine coal enter into an implied contract that
the public owners should never be left without coal. The sur
plus, and only the surplus, should be available for export. That
impli< d eont met should' be construed liberally on the side of the
people. It calls for a reserve sufficient to insure delivery and
a constant supply though production should be stopped for a
consult 'able time through labor troubles. We understand that
this reserve, or part of it, may be in the hands of dealers. But
it is the business o| the producers to see that it is somewhere
within reach.
LETHARGY AMONG DEMOCRATS.
1’iidiT tin1 caption of “Alaska Democrats Are Lethargic,”
the Anchorage l imes lias the following to say editorially:
“Among the chief grievances of the old-line Democrats—
those wlm have gone down the line for party since they became
of voting age. is the attitude of the Juneau crowd of so-called
Democrats, iieaded by Bob Jennings. The Jennings crowd
went to Washington in a bunch when the Wilson administra
tion gained control of the government, and saw to it that the
Fiist ■'■late went through with a rush. So, too, with the Fourth
division -late, headed by “Stubs” Erwin. But the remaining
division- w< re left to hustle for themselves, after the First di
vision had chopped off all the fat jobs it could lay hands on, in
eluding tin govi rnorship and collectors of customs. Hence it
is that in the Third and Second divisions the Democratic party
is rent asunder. Outsiders grabbed all the fat jobs in the Sec
ond di\ ision. A protege of Hoke Smith, of Georgia, got the U.
S. district attorneyship in the Third Division and an unknown
young man named Brennemnn, whom nobody knew as a Demo
crat, gained the marshalship over the divisional committee Can
d i d:i t e
“I’nder tin* Taft administration, Boss Shackleford held
sway over political matters in Alaska. And even under the
Democratic administration, according to his own assertion,
Shackleford has cut quite a figure, acting through Cheney, for
mer national committeeman, whom the boss employed as an at
i on icy for the Alaska (Jastineau Mining Company.
“But Bob Jennings is the man that the old-line Democrats
are particularly opposed to, because of his extreme selfishness.
Jennings happened to go to college with McReynolds, now an
associate justice of the I nited States supreme court, and u good
Democrat, and Lindley Garrison, former secretary of war, and
a man wholly unknown in national politics. When Bob went
to Washington after a job, all he had to do, according to his own
statement, was to ask the attorney general for it. He went to
the department of justice, was ushered in the presence and the
august gentleman who occupied a soft seat said, “Hello, Bob,
what do you want ’! An office, of course?” “Yes, Mac, I want
to bo a judge in Alaska.” “All right.” That is all there was
to it. As a matter of formality, a few endorsements were
filed.”
Sailly Xaillisel has been taken. Let’s now drop the subject.
Kvery nose in town is sore from attempts to pronounce it.

The administration keeps the soldiers marking time in
Mexico to prevent tin* adverse marking of ballots in November.

Thai story of the government going to attack the combine 1

Four years ago, in very concrete terms, we were promised |
by Mr. Wilson that the cost of living would he reduced, and 1
now, when the matter is mentioned, he regales ns with another -
cataract of “fascinating articulation,” as though it were a nu
tritive food. ]
-:o:-— J
One notes with satisfaction one instance, at least, of eco
nomy on the p;i£t of the government. The department of the
interior, instead of using heavy calendar paper for its bulletins
is now using ordinary print paper, which, with the’enormous
quantities of such publications put out, must mean a comfort
able saving.
-:o:-—
John McCormack, popular operatic and concert tenor -
singer, who has a princely income from his voice and its phono
graphic records, is to become an American citizen. He was
born at Athlone, Ireland, educated at Summer Hill college, *
county Sligo, and was trained in Milan, Italy. He has sung
his way into tin* American heart. We're glad' to get him.
-:o:
The republic of Panama has devised a method of checking
exploiting foreign corporations which promises to be even more
effective than revolutions. It lias a law which provides that
companies must pay employees who become sick while at work
half pay during time off. With 70 per cent of the population
afflicted with hookworm and the rest subject of malaria, this
makes Carranza % confiscatory decrees in Mexico look like gov
ernment subsidies. i
