HETHER one believes In Sun
Wday closing or not all must
admit that village and townj
policing in Alaska is small business
for the government of the Nation to i
be engaged in. That is a question that
should be worked out here as else-'
where by the people acting through
the authority of their own Legislature.
Yet. there is none who can complain
because officers sworn to execute the
Federal laws are doing so. It is the
system that is wrong. The people of
Alaska should have self-government.
The policy of Sunday closing is uot
involved in this principle. It was as
true last year, when saloons were
kept open in spite of what people
thought about It. as it Is now that they
are closed without the people's being
consulted.
Senator Jones, of Washington, speak
ing at New York Saturday, invited the
Progressives back nito the Republi
can party. The same day. Senator:
Jones' colleague. Senator Poindexter.
speaking at Indianapolis, boosted the
boom for another Progressive Presi
dential nomination for The Colonel.
The harmonious union of the opposl- ,
tion is. apparently, afar off.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM HAINES MISSION
*
HAINES. April 17.?The case of C.
\V. Hockett against Bernard McNa
mee. accused as an absconding debtor, j
came to an end yesterday in U. S.'
Commissioner R. M. Odell's court, and
resulted in a non-suit.
The Glacier creek people have ar
rived and are on their way to Glacier
creek to begin their summer's work.
Mr. Knight will have charge again
this summer, and Mr. Ford will run
their freight automobile again this
summer.
There will be a special election
next Monday. April 20, for the pur
pose of choosing two councilmen from
the three tied at the general election.
The contest will be between Timothy
Creedon. B. E. Benson and James
McQuinn.
Judge R. M. Odell is having an artis
tic fence placed around his lot near
the Arctic Brotherhood's hall. The
snow has all disappeared from the
town and it is taking on the appear
ance of spring.
ONE RAILROAD HAS
NO COMPLAINT
*
WASHINGTON. April 21?President
Stevens of the Chesapeake & Ohio
says traffic on that road is equal to
last year. He is the first Eastern rail- ]
road man who has not complained to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
of decreasing business.
ARGENTINE CORN TO
INVADE NEW ENGLAND
BOSTON. April 21.?At a result of
concessions made by the New Haven
Railroad the New England States will
be opened up as the market for Ar
Root head the list of 12 Republican
Senators who are with the President
for the free tolls repeal bill. Sena
tor Smoot leads the majority end of
the minority.
HARD WEEK ON CHAMPIONS.
HE first week of the baseball sea
Tson was a hard one on the pen
nant winners. The Athletics,
champions of the world, won their
first game of the season yesterday at
Boston. The Giants, last year's cham
pions of the National League, have not
yet won a game, and Vancouver and
Portland, leaders of the Northwest and
Pacific Coast Leagues, respectively,
have had a hard time keeping out of
the cellar. While it is a long time be
tween this and the close of the sea
son. every game won or lost in April
and May will cout in the final per
centage tables just as much as one of
those nerve testing struggles that
mark the Indian summer days of late
September.
Those Republicans and Progressives
who are trying so hard to make po
litical capital out of the foreign policy
of the administration are very likely
to run up against a reaction before the
end of the long Congressional campaign
that will be more disastrous to.their
political aspirations than was the flood
tide of 1912 and 1913.
