LAWMAKING AUTHORITY NOT INVOLVED.
SOME misconceptions have arisen over the ruling of the comp
troller of the Treasury that the Federal government can
not meet the expense of enforcing the Territorial laws of Al
aska and the decision of Judge Fuller that the Territorial Legis
lature cannot amend the code of procedure for the Federal courts
of Alaska. The idea has gained footing in some places that these
rulings strike at the authority of the Territorial Legislature to
pass laws, and that if they are sustained by future decisions of
those higher in authority the scope of the Territorial government
will be materially limited. This is not necessarily the case.
As a matter of fact if these rulings are sustained Alaska will
be left just where the other Territories are and have been in the
past. The comptroller's ruling, if upheld, will compel the Terri
tory to pay for the care of its own prisoners and pay other court
costs in trying those accused of otfenses against it. The other
Territories do this and always have done it. It might make nec
essary further legislation, either by Congress or the Territorial
Legislature but it cannot involve the authority of the Legisla
ture to pass laws.
It is not for the laity to determine whether or not Judge Ful
ler's ruling, if sustained, will even necessitate further legislation.
In fact there seems to be common sense behind the contention
that it would only require grand juries in returning indictments
and attorneys representing the Territory to conform to the laws
provided by Congress for the government of Federal court pro- I
cedure and disregard the local amendments.
In the meantime, let us hope that higher authorities than the
comptroller and Judge Fuller will simplify matters and make gov
ernment in Alaska less costly by overruling their decisions.
Senator Root is reported to have said yesterday that he
would not accept a Presidential nomination if it were tendered
him. Wonder if the growing popularity of the Wilson adminis
tration has had anything to do with the New Yorker's determin
ation? At least he was ready enough to seek the nomination in
1908.
ADMINISTRATION AND IMPROVED CONDITIONS.
COMMENTING upon the effect of the work of the administra
tion toward imporving business conditions, the New York
World pays this compliment to Secretary of the Treasury
William G. McAdoo:
"The annual report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury breathes throughout the spirit of optimism, altru
ism and psychology.
"At the very outset of the special Congress session
last April his department met a 'propaganda of pessi
mism which, designedly or not, produced a condition of
exereme nervousness and tension.' His own efforts in
handling the Government's surplus money had a large
psychological as well as practical effect in overcoming
this condition, and prove the 'enormous value of an al
truistic agency in financial affairs.' "
Something always seems to happen in the Republican party ,
of New York to delay the ousting of Barnes. With a Republi
can Assembly in prospect next January, his reluctance to retire
is quite easily explained.
MEXICAN IGNORANCE HANDICAPS ADMINISTRATION
IGNORANCE and the lack of a free press are the worst handi
caps to the success of the American policy for Mexico. If
there were a free press in Mexico there would be a public
opinion, and many of the troubles of the people would disappear.
Because there is no free press in that country, the attitude of
President Wilson as expressed in his public utterances is dis
torted or suppressed by local publications.
Not more than 15 per cent, of the people of Mexico can read
or write. Of this small proportion of literates many are misin
formed, and many others, by prejudice or interest, have minds
that are closed. This is one of the difficulties as well as one
of the perils of a situation that may as easily be underestimated
outside of Mexico as by the inhabitants of that country.
There is danger in ignorance, especially in ignorance that
is officially promoted. The kindly offices of the United States
south of the Rio Grande contemplate not only peace and pro
gress for an afflicted people but enlightenment that cannot fail
to promulgate good neighborhood for ourselves.
The sudden conversion of some of Boss Murphy's most obe
dient followers to direct-primary reform will be a more convinc
ing demonstration of faith after it is made good by works.
