The completion of Juneau Cold Storage Company’s modern cold storage and iue-m;qkin;:‘ plant is the fuffillment of a dream that Juneauj has cherished for many ye: It is pleasing to| know that the long delay has resulted in the| construction of the best cold storage plant that science and skill are capable of making—"the best plant on the Pacific Coast,” say all who are familiar with its details. It is believed, and there seems to be sound reason behind the belief, that the plant will re- gult in a very large increase of Juneau's fresh fish bukiness. This place is many miles nearer| the halibut banks than any other town in South- eastern Alaska that has facilities for handling fresh fish—Sitka alone excepted. It is an un- excelled cefiter for all the varieties of salmon, cod, herring, redsnapper, sea- etc., and for ghell-fish. It has shipping facilities that are the equal of those of any other Alaska town. Its first-class plant is admirably located for both fishermen and transportation purposes.

October is notable for two great events in the history of the Western World. October 12, 1492, Columbus discovered America; October 18, 1867, Seward witnessed the completion of the purchase of Russian America through the raising of the United States flag at Sitka. To Alaskans the placing of that county under the Stars and Stripes is quite as important as the more remote event when Columbus planted the colors of Spain on San Salvador. Thus it has come to pass been an American possession for full 60 years. The time is short; but it is long enough! to have demonstrated, over and over, the wisdom of Seward in having negotiated the purchase of the Territory for the pittance of $7,200,000. In that international deal, America acquired “citizens by purchabe,” taking on inhabitants who remained in the country following the trans- fer of sovereignty—just as had occurred in Louis- jana, when that purchase was negoiated with France. Also, that Alaska has in a matter of local interest to Puget Sound, the United States acquired ownership of a gunboat—the Politofsky—which happened to be in an Alaskan harbor at the time the treaty was confirmed. This historic vessel afterward ed into the ownership of the Port Blakeley nd Th new plant possible, have shown enterpri public spirit of the kind that builds cities 1 City proud of their community. They have inspired! greater confidence in the future of the place. It is meet at this time that special attention be called to President and General Manager Wal- lig 8. George for the energy, ability and per- which he has carried a Juneau dream to fruition. He has exhibited rare execu- tive ability. Confidence in him, as well as in his project, fully as much as the public spirit of the community, was manifested in the completion of this $150,000 plant here. CHIEF JUSle‘E MACKINTOSH FOR SENATOR. Chief WVustice Kenneth Mackintosh of the Washington State Supreme Court is seriously considering entering the race for United States Senator against Senator Dill, and admits it. ‘Justice Mackintosh is a native of Seattle, was reared there, entered the practice of law, was elected two terms as Prosecuting Attorney and elected to the Superior Court Bench twice there. Then he was appointed Supreme Court Justice Il Company, and for years was operated as a hoat that pioneer lumber organization. There is some obscurity in the purchase of wla, hearing hints of a secret agreement rela- tive to Russian warships in New York and San harbors in the ecritical final years of th (‘h|1 War. No doubt the ships were there; but their connection with the purchase of Alaska 18 now doubted by discerning. historians. Seward was wiser than he knew ‘when he fought tooth and nail for the purchase of Alaska, completing it only to face criticism and reproach. Time has more than vindicated his discernment and his wisdom. Sixty years of Alaska testify to his greatness as a statesman, Censoring of Books. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Dr. Daniel Evans, Professér of Christian Theo- logy at Andover Theological, Seminary, in an ad- dress before the Babson Business Conference at Wellesley, Mass., a few days ago had something very much worth while to say concerning book censorship, paying particular attention to recent activities in this respect by Boston authorities. Certainly there will be no argument against every adequate legislative effort to protect the public, especially the young, from th evils of and moved to Olympia ten years ago. He has been twice elected to that office by the people of the State of Washington. Two years ago a great deal of pressure was brought on Justice Mackintosh to induce him to run for Senator in the primaries against Senator Jones. In a statemept to the Spokane Spokesman- Review he recently said: It is too early for any candidate tu definitely announce himself for the of- fice of United States Senator. This is especially true in my case because as Chief Justice I have many judicial duties to perform at this time, leaving me little time to consider political questions * * * 1 will say, however, that the numerous requests that I become a candidate which are being volunteered from all parts of the State may convince me that it is my duly to accede to them at the proper time. If Chief Justice “Kenny” Macintosh should announce his candidacy for United States Senator he will win the Republican nomination or give the successful candidate such a race that he will be glad when it is over. But at that, if Senator Dill should run again as the Democratic nominee, the race for Senator will have just begun when the primary contest ends. The man who defeats Dill, if he should fact that he was in a political campaign. THE MEXICAN PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST. 'fl}a dispatches tell us that after executing fifteen Generals and 63 others—including thirteen pornographic pictures, books, periodicals, ete., but thinking folk generally will agree with Dr. vans that when censorship becomes a menace, through its ill-advised extensions, to the cul- tural, soclal and scientific life of the country, it is quite time to censor the censors and get them out of the picture as soon as may be possible. According to Dr. Evans, the Massachusetts law has been extended beyond all reason for its application to conditions of today, and he urges immediate legislation to modify the statute and vigilance elsewhere in the country against such assumption of censorsing autocracy. There is here a fundamental principie at stake—a principle of vast importance to the in- tellectual life, to the preservation of our free in- stitutions and to the progress of the world, as Dr. Evans maintains. The United States has no desire to emulate the formulas of Russia, Italy and Spain in this respect. Here, church and State, acting within their respective and legitimate spheres, may con- tinue to direct and dictate the tone and moral quality of literature according to the American formula—not as for centuries they tried to do with resultant great harm to the advancement of religion and science. and all social unpreach- ing. Ecclesiastical and political censorships are not in harmony with the American system of Government. We are tree amd equal today, in the sight of the law, im despite of the impulses and influences of such+censorship, which operates always for the suppression of wealth of thought, freedom of faith and the pmmnive ideas of moral and social life, And Dr. Evans makes a statement which] should be hammered indelibly into the conscious- ness of the goody-goody reformers when he says. “The ‘Scarlet Letter' is a far better hook for the marals of youth than all the Pollyanna books . part of the Presidential campaign in Mexico is and there will be no opposition to the elec- . ton of Gen.
