When Alaska ears ago conceived

tonltoiy she lcalbod the impractlca
lillity of holding Mich exposition upon
her own boll. It was then that Seattle,
Wash., stepped loiwiud with the cor
dial Imitation to make that city the
scene of such a great lair. The imita
tion was accepted, plans have giovvn
and developed and now the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exhibition is desperately
busy electing the splendid buildings
and pi eparlng the places where the ex
tensive exhibits are to ho placed. The
coidinl attitude of the Canadian gov
ernment and the fact that South
Aineiican lepublics will he splendldlj
iciii esented make the international
success of the fair ceitain. The way
the far noithwest people do things to

visitor on the gioiind will see the com
pleted buildings something never bc

national tali.
Alaska's woik on (his pioposition
will be tiemendous in showing the
cno! nioiib possibilities of this viigin
tounliy. Take the following fiom an
iuloimation buieau'.s pamphlets:
Alaska will exhibit $1,000,000 In vir
gin gold, dust, nuggefs and btlck at
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exhibition.

A copper nnggoL weighing Hugo

.'he lishing and fur industiles havo
produced 2.") times as much as was ori
ginally paid to Russia for the noithein

Moie than 1,000,000 plants nro now
growing in tho nuiseiy guidons of the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacifio exhibition.

All of the commies botdoiing on tho

In jnepnilng exhibits, and the lepoits
that have been lecelved by tho mini
ugeinent are highly salisfactoiy. Fino

Japan and China, and the Oiicntal dis
play will he one of tho big featuios of

ment that Japan will bo well iopre-

Tho association lecontly sent a re
quest to tho government of Japan that
homo of tho ships of tho Jnpaneso
navy he stationed In Senttlo harbor
during tho exhibition poiloii. Assur
ances havo been tereived that this
will bo done, and it is expected that
at least two of tho battleships will be
ordered to Seattlo early In Juno to
anchor In tho hurbor with the Pacific
fleet of tho United States navy, which
' will bo stationed at Seattlo during tho
entire time of tho fair.

Piobahly tho most unique farm In
'he woild is located on Hound island,
X'.i'-ka, wlieie llany Piide, a well
known Alaskan, is engaged in the cul
tivailon of foxes. Air. Piide has cstab
Ifbhed his fox faun on scientific lines
ami biceds only the ailcty of fox that
pioduces the mobt valuable fur. Most
ot the stock on his faini now is of the
silvei tip and hilvei giay vinleties
"A fox skin depends hugely upon Its
shade and coloring," savs Mr. Piide,
"and by bcientific bi ceding 1 expect to
pioduce only the eiy best fins. An
oidlnar; fox skin is frequently wortli
no moie than 50 cents, while the silver
grav v.niet frequently sells for ?G00
to ?S00 per skin, and has been known
to bring as high as 51,000.
"The fox is a vciy intelligent animal,
and is easii tamed. They can bo even
taught to peifonn, but this takes con
sldeiablo time and patience. Some of
tho animals on Hound island havo be
come so tamo that they will eat out
of a plate held in the hand.
"It ib veiy laiely that hunters and
tiappeis have ever taken any laige
number of foxes alive, and 1 piopose to
have a line exhibit fiom my faun at
the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expobition I
believe it will be the first exhibit of
live fo.xes of the silver tip and bllver
giaj bpecies ever shown.
"As my expeiiments advance I am
moie than ever convinced that fox
bleeding will become one of tho most
valuable industries of tho north. The
animals bieed veiy lapidly and with
pioper caie a fox faun should pay
huge returns."
"It will unquestionably he the most
beautiful exposition ever held in the

"I havo made no paitlcular hobby

"but I have been to all those held in

TO DELUDE VOTERS
REPUBLICANS PLAN EVASION OF
PARTY PLEDGES.
Surrender to Tariff "Standpatters" Is
to Be Blamed on the Senate
People Will See Through
the Trick.
Of course it Is nccossaiy to find some
thick-skinned scapegoat that will take
nil the blamo if tho Republican party
should, after all, squiim and ovado its
ante-olpctlon tariff reform pledges.
Just now the public mind is being
piepaied for an intimation that, if
consumers' bin dens aie not lightened
In tho new tariff bill, tho wicked sen
ate will bo lesponsiblc Lven
though Piosident-elcet Taft and tho
house was nnd means committee
should jointly battle for the lcliof of
consunieiB, wo are told to expect cer
tain emasculation of a genuine taiiff
leforni hill by the upper house.
That might mean a presidential
veto, and an appeal to the people And
again it might not. Politically, it
would meiely mean that the Repub
licans were making an attempt to
keep faith with the people, and that
tho senate must take all icsponsi
billty for failure to do so.
A dog that chases his tail in a never
ending cliclo seems to lie eiy much
in earnest. The lesults are not com
mensurate with tho dog's appaient
slnceiity of puipose. The taiiff stand
pat tois would like to pacify popular
s ntiment without accomplishing any
thing in the way of leal taiiff reform.
It all resolves itbelf into whether
tho Republicans, as a national pai ty,
means to back up their ante-election
tariff reform pledges with leal legis
lation in the inteiest of consumers, or
whether these pledges were for po
litical effect only. The senate may be
dominated by trust agents, but that
is not necessaiily a final ohstiuction.
Theie aie methods of bringing even a
rebellious senate to terms, if the ad
miuistiation deslics to heed the peo
ple's oice
We will soon sec how much of the
Republican piogramme is based on
the known wishes of the gicat bod
of consumers. The robber ti lists do
not seem espceiallv peituibed. Tlioj
will not object to a game of politics
in tho house, if their standp.it triends
in the senate conbent to act the lole
of scapegoat.
Meanwhile, state after state in the
pioducing west is declaiing for popu
lar election of United States sonatois,
which may liavo a sobeiing effect on
the standpat piogiam.
The President and the Tariff.
While the piesldent has been
preaching on eveiy imaginable text ex
copt the taiiff text, he has known, if
ho knows anything biuely, and is not
mentall a moie muddle of teds and
assumptions, that the taiiff was en
l idling the trusts and paving twice- as
much to tho inillionaiie as to tho ens
toni-house officer. Had ho leall wish
ed to benefit the people and saciiflco
his own vanity a little, lie would have
used some of his abusive language
against the taiiff thieves and bogs
whom Mr. Adams lias so forcibly com
mended to his notice. A little of the
lhetoiic wasted on Gov. Haskell and
Delavan Smith could have been use
fully employed ngalnst the men who
filled his campaign chest in 190!, and
who lushed to the icscuo of Mr. Taft
last summer. No Ameilcan politician
can long pose as a lefounoi who does
not discover and pionounce against
our taiift as the cause of most of our
plutociatic evils either the i emote
or the contiibutlng or tho diiect
cause of that huitful nccess of the
inillionaiie spiiit from which we have
biiffoied since McKlnlcy iiist beat

President's Vindictive Spirit.
Wo do not believe that President
Roosevelt would bo a competent wit

wo should receive any testimony of

SPIES OF PRIVATE HATRED.
Use President Reccevclt Has Made of
the Secret Service.
Certain secret seivlco agents, paid
by the people of tho United States,
wore used by a president of tho Uni
ted States as spies or piivnle detectives
in an investigation that was prompted
by pcisonal hatred.
The diccovoiles of these secret
service agents in the case of Senator
Tillman either weio such ns to io
qulio the prosecution of Senator Till
man by the government inithoiltic3 or
they did not wauant legal proceedings
against him.
If tho evidence collected by the
spies who hounded the man whom
Mr. Roosevelt hated was sufficient to
wauant Ills piosocution under the
laws of the United States, then Mr.
Roosevelt not only failed in ills sworn
duty hut ho also gave the Ho to his
own piofcsslons as contained in a
message addressed to congrebs flvo
da.vs ago, when ho said:
"If I had picof of such corruption
affecting anj member of the house in
any matter as to which tho fedeial
government has jurisdiction action
would at once hr.ve been bi ought, as
was dono in the cases of Senators
Mitchell and Hurton and Representa
tives Williamson, lleirmann and
Drlggs, at diffcient times since I liavo
been president. This would simply
ho doing my duty in the execution and
enfoi cement of the laws without re
spect to poisons "
If, on the other hand, the investiga
tions of the spies of personal hatred
affoided nogtouiid for ofhclal pioceed
ings against Mr. Tillman, but meiely
revealed circumstances discreditable
to him short of eiimitulity, then tho
publication of the lesults of the spv
ing by Mr. Roosevelt foi tiie gratillca
Hon of private spite is an offense dif
ficult to chaiacterlze adequately. It
is an abuse of official powei tail ly de
seivlng impeachment; it is a peisonal
abuse of official oppoitunlty combin
ing the elements of cowaidice and au
dacity, and without piecedent. we be

PAYNE HAS NEAT SCHEME.
Declaration That Has Let Tariff Cat
Out of the Bag.
Chniunan Pajne of the ways and
means committee is ci edited with a
nice, now plan topiovcnt taiiff frauds,
by which, he explains, he pioposes to
save the countiy millions filched from
us every year by foielgn exporteis
who undei value their goods in our cus
tom houses
Theio is a fine maigin between
wholesale pi ices and manufacturing
costs Mr. Pav no's establishment of
the wholesale. Instead of the manufac
tilling, cost as a basis foi ad valorem
duties would simply add the whole
salei's piofit over lnanufactuiiiig cost
to tho amount of taiiff levied.
Under such a law it would bo quite
possible- to l educe tho aveiage taiiff
fiom 4" pej- cent, as at present, to,
say 115 per cent., on the pi luted belied
ule, and et ically i.iise tho absolute
taiiff to 50 per cent, or CO per cent
Purthei moie, the Ameilcan manufac
tin or would havo it In his own pawei
to fix the tariff to suit him.
Mr. Pajno'b cnieless declaration of
intention has let the taiiff cat out of
the bag rathei iinfoitunately for him,
foi congtess dine not raise the tariff,
and that is exactly what Mr. Payne
pioposes to do.
Ny.hing to Fear.
If the sole icsult of tho secret serv
ice opciations against hitheito unac
cused members of congress is to lndgo
an aboitho charge at the door of Sen
ator Tillman tho president might well
have used the federal detectives on
rome other mission.
If this Is the net spoils of tho chase
It is doubly unfortunate Fiist, be
cause Senator Tillman lias dono tho
(ountry some real seivice, and oven
has enlisted hcnitlly in Mipport of
good Roosevelt measuies, although a
Oemociat, with no lovo for elthor
Roosevelt or Roosevelt's paity. Sec
ondly, becauso Senntor Tillman was
notoilously a personal enemy of tho
piesldent, and whatover indictment
Mr. Roosevelt might hi Ing against him
vould loso weight by leason of that
fact.
Rut it docs not seem that Tillman
has committed any crime, or ho suioly
would havo been under prosecution
for it by this time. Inasmuch as tho
seciet service operators did not bilng
in Foraker for his relations with
Stnndaid Oil, nnd failed to entrap any
other niombeis of congress constantly
ongnged in seiving special lntoiests, It
ccitatnly seems that, whatover any
meinbeis of congress might havo to
fear from letter-file thieves there was
no real reason for any of them to fear
