RACE IN WHICH WOMEN ARE BARRED.
With women competing in swimming, tennis ami otliei
lines of sport, probably only a minority of persons are aware
of the fact that they are debarred from participation in auto
mobile racing. This recently was brought out, when the offi
cials in charge of the San Diego automobile race decided, by
way of a novelty, to have a woman starter send the contestants
on their way. Then the American Automobile Association
stepped in and upset all the plans. They quoted a rule which
had entire!v escaped the race officials, and which runs about
as follows:
“No woman may compete, enter, drive or rule in any race
of any kind held under the sanction of the American Automo
bile Association, or in an official practice for the same.”
It was then decided that a starter is an official, and that
an official is a participant.

ALASKA LINES ABOLISH WHARFAGE.
\ _
A distinct progressive movement is the action recently
taken by various steamship companies operating between Se
attle and Alaska, abolishing for all time all wharfage charges
at Seattle. Hereafter the Seattle docks will be considered in
the same relation to traffic as a freight depot on a railroad, and
the question of Seattle wharfage will likely never again figure
in any rate to or from Alaska. The standard charge in the past
has been f>0 cents per ton, and for several years the people of
Alaska have* been petitioning for it> abolition, but up to the
present year conditions have been such that it was impossible
to conn»1 v with 1 lie reqm st.
Tlie port of Seattle commission minced its wharfage to
JO cents and 1<» cents p -r ton, hut this had no effect upon the
situation, as no northern steamships operated from the port %
docks.
Now the volume of business is so great that each company
operating its own or leased dock, linds that it is not necessarx
to charge the w harfage, and its elimination also greatly simpli
fjes the billing of goods. It is a progressive move, and one that
will no doubt be followed' by various other companies opera!
ing in the overseas trade.
MOLASSES TO CATCH FLIES.
Anent President Wilson’s change of mind, but not convic
tion, mind you, with reference to a tariff commission, it is re
call'd that only a year ago at Indianapolis he told his aston
ished hearers that a tariff commission already existed throng!
a “joker” in the bill establishing a federal trade commission
Last September lie wrote to ex—Governor (’ox, ot Ohio, that lit
did not favor an independent tariff board, and that the machin
erv for such a board was already in existence. He now tolls'
Congressman Kitchin that lie has changed his mind because
the “circumstances of the world have changed.” He takes
pains to add that he has “no thought whatever of a change ot
attitudi toward' the so-called protection question. That is
neither here nor there. A commission such as I have suggested
would have nothing to do with theories of policy.”
The “so-called protection question” may not be “here,”
but Mr. Wilson may be very sure that when ejection day comes
the “so-called protection” will be “there,” and after the fol
lowing 4th of March Mr. Wilson will no longer bo “here.”
The people of the country have not changed their attitude on
the “so-called protection question.” The united opposition to
the Democratic party are protectionists. They will vote to
gether next November, and whatever Mr. V ilson may do in the
meantime is of slight consequence except as indicating the des
peration of his mind, as he has seen the downfall ot his political
hopes and casts around to bolster up his failing cause. V hat -
over attitude he now assumes on any question is actuated by the
hope that votes are in it.
Yesterday the weather certainly changed often enough to
suit all tastes.
-:o:
The local canneries have been rushing work on their new
plants, and will all be in readiness tor the first run of salmon.
The outcome of the Republican territorial convention at
Seward next week is being watched with considerable interest
by the people throughout Alaska.
-:o:
Carranza may learn to his sorrow that he cannot frith
with American patriotism, if he continues to insist upon the
withdrawal of our troops in Mexico before they have eithei
captured or killed Villa, the outlaw.
-:o:
There will la* a dearth.of saloons at McCarthy if all the
liquor license applications are favorably acted upon by the
district court. Three have already been granted, one is pend
ing, and another soon hopes to be in the field.
-— :o:
It is unfortunate that the differences between the long
shoremen and the steamship company cannot be amicably ad
justed, and especially so at a time when the mercjmnts are ex
pecting big shipments of goods, and their non-delivery may
result in considerable inconvenience and monetary loss to them
