THE PRESIDENT ON THE ALASKA PRESS.
y.'hili Pixoidcnt Harding's estimates of the popula
t cn of the Alaska towns which support daily news
i jptis and ot tlie circulation of the daily papers were
overly conrervatlve, his tribute to the enterprise, hon
isty and "appealing frankness" of the daily papers
cf the North wa tine, and wo hope that wc shall not
L,e accused of vanity if we ray it has been fully
tamed.
The towns in Southeastern Alaska which maintain
daily newspaper: arc a half dozen times larger than
the fig in if quoted by the President and the circula
tion of the daily papers, if The Empire's circulation
i.; a eriierton, nearer a dozen times larger than his
estimate.
If the President had considered that there Is only
one dally newspaper in lath of the towns of Alaska
which support a daily at all and had taken that fact
In his mind on a visit to the Alaska dally newspaper
graveyard ho would have understood that it is because
cf thoir enterprise, honesty and frankness that the
dally newspaper which he found in the Territory sur
\lve. They Hvoil and prospered while others died
because of the traits which tlie President discovered
in them.
The President disclosed that lie has been out of
the newspaper same for some time when he Bald the
Alaska newspapers had larger relative regard for
pugilism than tor the world jiews. If he had been
devoting Ills time to getting out a daily newspaper
he would have realized that he came to Alaska dur
ing probably the great cat mouth in the liisiory of
pugilism—the climax to the most active half year in
the squared circle sport we have had since long before
the waf.' a (id iff : ’Ali.ku papers ltlfc' those elsewhere,
wire handling the flows as it broke.
( ANADA’S FRIENDSHIJ
It is not difficult for one who knows and under
stands Canadians to visualize the enthusiasm with
which the people of Vann over entertained President
end Mrt. Harding and the members ot the President's
Cabinet and their wives, or to realize that the en
thusiasm tame from the heart, a visible token of
genuine respect for and confidence in the United
States, her people, their high purposes and their in
stitutions. No people understand America and Ameri
cans as well as do the Canadians. That is not due
v holly to proxi mity and a common language, but
be.tli have large influence it is not wholly due to the
similarity of our institutions, though that adds under
standing. It is due more titan anything else to the
fact that tlte American and Canadian peoples are m.t
much ulike In their concepts of right and justice,
among individual- and among nations, and because
lliey know that American? understand them, have con
fidence in and respect fnr them and like them.
The friendship between Canada and America is an
enduring friendship because both countries stand for
Gmilar ideals, each under: lands the other, and bo
cauee tile friendship, based on the substantial founda
tions of confidence, respect, equity, justice humane
ness and truth, is mutual. There are few Americans
who. If they could not he Americans, would not choose
to be Canadians, and that is not said in disparage
ment of any other country In the world.
REPUDIATING THE HIGH TARIFF.
It i , worthy ot note that Gov. J. A. O Preus, In
his campaign on the Republican ticket for United
Stall Senator from Minnt iota, disavowed the Ford
ncy-McCumbcr Till iff as did Ills opponent. As a mat
ter of fact, ail three Minnesota candidates. Repub
lican, Farmer-iLabcr ami Democrat, were outspoken
in their opposition to lliis monelixecil
The attitude of agricultural Minnesota on the
tariff would indicate that Hie country is changing
on this (|iu :ion. The Fonlticy-Mi'Cumber tariff bill
was p;. nil Urgaiy iu the interest of the farmers,
l! was eppoxed from llie beginning by ihe financial
papers if New V rk. IJoston and other cities. It was
(ppos.d by the: New York Tribune, the New York
IteraliJ, New York Sun, Philadelphia North American,
Philadelphia i-eilgcr, Chicago Tribune and many other
Republican paper:.. several of which served notice on
llte leaders In Congrtrs that to pass ihe measure
would be lo Invite parly defeat at the polls.
The country is ready for a revision of the tariff
drwnward. H i- not in keeping with a country that
is committed to round money and economy in public
expenditures and which de-ires to extend its export
ti ade
HARD DRESSED FOR SOMETHING TO SAY.
Those newspapers correspondents who have tried
to create a sensation by a- crilng that the Guggen
heims forced the Alaska Northern Railroad, the
Bewntd terminus and, later, Anchorage on the Fed
eral Government were hard pressed lor something to
write about.
The Guggenheitus had not a particle of Interest in
thelAlApkq Northern Railroad. Thgy tried-'to sail
the 1 Alqpkg
theif Coppe
Cflppfer ltlvtr and Northwestern Railroad to the
flovctanient for half its cost -and finally declared the
Government could have It at its own price.
Further. It has been said, and probably with
truth, tlwft the Government would have purchased
the Guggenheim railroad if it had net been for tear
of censure. The people had conceived an antipathy
i lor the Guggenhelms, due to Pinchotite propagandist
i and muckraking magazines, and the O veminent feared
! the reaction lhal would follow if it trafficked with
1 tl.eJe New York developers of the frontier, It pur
I chased the Alaska Northern BECAUSE IT DID NOT
I BELONG TO THE Gl'GGEN'HKIMS, and, therefore.
| with its purchase there would be no ground for such
i allegations as those now being made It paid the bond
| holders, principally Canadians, $1,150000 for it. They
, had asked $2,750,000.
I While discussing policies through which the Gov
lorn men t may aid the people of Interiorand Western
Alaska the Administration should not forget to keep
the road building going. It should provide the
funds for that and permit the expenditure on the
reads rlong the coast of all the money derived
through the National forests and that contributed
by coast points to the Alaska Fund.
Austria recently borrowed, without much negotiat
ing. $25,000,000 in Now York. She had, however,
done a lot of hard work in putting her house in order.
This is evidence that the United States is ready
and wiling to help European countries when they
get down to business principles.

Inexcusable Ignorance.
(Seattle Alaska Weekly.)
With inexcusable ignorance or deliberate malice,
the Slat’s correspondent says that the President will
| have to choose between Seward and Anchorage as
i the southern terminus of the Government Railroad,
and between Anchorage and Juneau us the Terri
torial capital. No such chtoeing Is called for or to be
i made. Seward Is already the southern railway term
| inu8, on the splendid harbor afforded by Resurrec
j lion Bay; but Anchorage, located on tidewater well
I toward the Interior, Is essential to the development
land service of the vast region bordering on Cook
Inlet. There ts nothing to hamper the progress of
j beth cities, except such misrepresentation as the Seat
| tie Star Is encouraging.
As to the capital, It may safely be set down that
'so long a« Alaska Is one undivided Territory its eapl
| la 1 will be at Juneau. On this point the Star’s mis
guided correspondent says, "Juneau bus ho apparent
right to exist outside of being the capital If that
honor is removed, Juneau will probably die."
It is almost useless to expect that a correspondent
who would write such a statement, or a newspaper
that would print it, can be impressed by facts. Yet
It Is the fact that Juneau was a thriving city long
before it became the seat cf Territorial Government
by removal of the capital from Sitka. It was then,
as it is today, the largest city In the Territory; well

trial activity. Near at hand, the great Treadwell
i mines produced more than $80,(100,000 in gold
before the decline of operations there. Even closer
, at hand, the Alcska-Juneau mine, In the first Hve
| months of this year, produced $676,465.26, The im
ports of Juneau from "the States" amounted In 1921
! to $2,309,679; and in 1922 to more than $3,000,000,
jAt the very time the Star's correspondent wrote his
j nonsense, Juneau mills were loading a 2,000,000 foot
1 lumber cargo for Australia.
Decs all this indicate a village that has no right
'to or reason for existence save that the Territorial
| Governor and a few other officials make it their
; headquarters?
Alaska Trip in Pictures.
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)
President Harding is not to forget the incidents
i of bis Alaska tour. The miracle of moving picture
| photography is embalming the President's trip and
preserving the animated figure and panorama Incident
I to bis itinerary.
The scenery of the "inside passage’’ along the
i coast to Alaska, the various meetings with enthusi
astic townspeople, the receptions, parades and other
j human interest phenomena, are being recorded on the
j hi in lor reproduction in schools and colleges about
I the United States, under the supervision of the Eed
I cral Department of the Interior.
Alaska will be Introduced to the nation In most
j intimate form. It is un adjunct of the Presidential
trip not foreseen by Alaska's friends, but one likely
to relieve our Eastern fellow citizens of the long
standing Impression that Alaska Is a land of snow
, and ice, in close proximity to the north pole.

This year go far there has been a good run of
I salmon on the ske. na River and rivers to the south.
This will benefit Prince Rupert. Anything which
brings money Into the district tends to benefit every
section. If Prince Rupert people earn money they
"'*11 k° 10 such plncee as Terrace and Lukelse and
Queen Charlotte Islands to spend it. if the people of
those districts have money some of them will spend
some of It here.
The canners on the Skeetta River spend a good
deal of their money in the south but some of them
buy here and a good deal of the cash expended In
labor finds Its way to the merchants in this city.
Any industry that develops in the neighborhood tends
to make the whole dif.rtict more prosperous*
