ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE J. F. A. STRONG Telephone No. 3-7-4 Entered as second-clans matter November 7, 1912 at the postofflce at Ju neau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1S79. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ? Cb?e year, by mall $10.00 Six months, by mall 5.00 Per month, delivered 1.00 A SIDE-LIGHT ON THE ATTITUDE OF SECRETARY LANE THE attitude of Franklin K. Lane, while he was yet a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, toward Alaska rail roads encourage those Alaskans interested in railroad con struction in the Territory to believe that he will be friendly to the development of an adequate transportation system in the North. To a delegation of Alaskans that called upon him two weeks before his appointment as Secretary of the Interior Mr. Lane, after securing all the information he could from them about transportation conditions in Alaska, is said to have remarked: "It is a sham that the railroads in Alaska are taxed. I think they deserve to be subsidized." ' > a -j? a. There is no question Out tnat tne development ox me inter ior of Alaska along comprehensive lines requires, as a condi tion precedent, the construction of a railroad system that will reach all points of the Territory. The fact that all railroad building has been discontinued is ample proof that there is no profit in railroad operation under conditions as they exist. If we are to get more railroads they must be built by the gov ernment or they must receive encouragement rather than tax ation by it. Xo system of interior transportation, probably, will ever completely meet the requirements until there is some of both. The government is being urged to build the great trunk lines, and probably that will be done. When they shall have been constructed, feeders will have to be provided, and every reasonable inducement should be offered to encourage their con struction. It is a satisfaction to know that the man at the head of the Interior Department realizes the immensity of the problem that the people of Alaska and the federal government, that is seeking to aid and encourage the development of this Territory, are up against in the matter of providing the transportation facilities that are absolutely essential to Alaskan progress. Adrianople has fallen. The last stronghold outside of Con stantinople and the little peninsula upon which that ancient city stands has been wrested from the Turks. It must now be peace or the banishment of Turkey from Europe. The allies are left free to concentrate their attack on the Turkish capital. The re sult will probably be peace within a very few days. ANOTHER, AND GREATER CALAMITY THE people of the country had hardly adjusted themselves to the shock resulting from the terrible disaster that had be fallen Omaha, when they were overwhelmed by the greater calamity that has been visited by an inscrutible Providence upon the people of Ohio and Indiana. While the figures thus far ob tainable have been based upon the fragmentary and discon nected reports newspapers have been able to get over delapitated and demoralized telegraph and telephone systems, and are prob ably greatly exaggerated, yet the devastated district is so wide spread that there is no doubt that one of the greatest disasters that ever has befallen the Nation has taken place. And, worst of all, the suffering has but just commenced. Floods do not con fine their machinations to restricted districts. They cover areas so great that concentration in relief work is a physical impossi bility. No matter what may be the diligence of the State and National governments, there will be thousands of the distressed that will have to work out their own salvation without the aid of an assisting hand. For years poverty and, in many instances, no doubt, want will haunt doors that have never been troubled by the wolf. It is a terrible catastrophe and one that fully justifies the strenuous efforts toward relief that are being put forth by the National and State governments. While the early reports from the flooded districts of the East probably exaggerate the loss of life, they probably underesti mate the loss of property, and convey an inadequate idea of the commercial disaster that has come to the Nation. THE ELECTION OF COL. LEWIS THE election of Col. James Hamilton Lewis as United States Senator from the great State of Illinois brings pleasure tc a host of friends of the former Seattle lawyer, politician anc orator on the Pacific Coast, and honors one of the most unique characters on the continent. Col. Lewis came to Seattle as a bo> from Georgia in the middle eighties. Although he had managec to get an education at the University of Virginia, and to ac quire a learning and develop oratorical abilities far beyond his years, he had no money. So he began life as a longshoreman Members of the Southern colony in the Puget Sound metropo lis "discovered" him, and he was appointed to a position in th< office of the clerk of the court. While there, he gave his ser vices to lawyers engaged in the trial of important cases, anc soon attracted the attention of bench, bar and?more importan to Lewis?populace. In a few years the people of Washingtoi Territory discovered that one of the Nation's greatest orator: was a fellow citizen. He went up like a rocket, but unlike th< rocket he remained in the heavens to glow as the refulgent orl of day and be seen of a Nation. He served the people of hi: adopted commonwealth in the Territorial legislature, J>nd wa: sent by them to Congress. Defeated for re-election he went t< Chicago, where he served four years as corporation counsel and added to his reputation as an orator and lawyer. Col. Lewis has accumulated a modest fortune, in the prac tice of his profession, and now he goes to the United States Sen ate, where he will further attract the attention of his country men. And he is yet a young man, as public men are measured having just passed his fiftieth birthday.

Doughtery and Robert Suace, of Juneau, aged 60 and 26 respectively, are believed to have been lost some where between Wrangell and the Taku is the report o fMessrs. Tyers, Harris and Boots, of the gasboat Klooch. The crew of the Klooch. recently down from Juneau to nsn in waters uuuruj to Wrangell, helped the pair, who were making the trip in a 22-foot sealing boat, across the Taku and loaned them a skiff to use the mainder of the journey. The Klooch has been in twice to see if Dougherty and Suace had arrived here and to get the skiff, but they have not made port as yet, and as the boats came across the Taku about a month ago, the crew of the Klooch fear the pair may have been caught in a storm and wrecked. The sealing boat was equipped with a motor and was giving trouble when they crossed the windy Taku.?Wrang ell Sentinel.
