ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION, MEDITATION In some respects, the Ninth Annual Southeast- | ern Alaska Fair, which closed last Saturday night, was successful; in others, it failed to make lhc; most of its opportunities. Nothing can be perfect. ! In judging the exposition, its merits should not be minimized nor its faults extenuated. In viewing it | as a whole, reasonable conclusions seem to be that the good is menaced by the bad and that unless | reforms are inaugurated the criticisms current in| some quarters may become widespread and cause its abandonment. In the interest of the enterprise, its advantages and disadvantages should be weighed now when they are fresh in the public mind and when ‘plans can be laid for improvement. Some departments of the recent fair are worthy of praise. Floral, educational, needlework, home cooking and canning, amateur art and photography, and curio displays were excellent. To assemble and to put them into place required painstaking labor of long hours’ duration. For the presence and the arrangement of these exhibits, much credit is due to a group of public-spirited women. The com- prehensive and attractive character of the division | and the resultant appreciation of many visitors are the only rewards that accrued to those who gave so generously of time and effort. The vegetable and small fruit varied and of superior qualities. ON THE FAIR. exhibits were highly commendable.. The other collections lacked quantity. 4§ Livestock and poultry -exhibits were not repre- sentative. Indeed, little, if any, provision had been made for fox or mink, neither of which was present, | im- | but both of which combine to constitute an portant industry in this part of the Territory. Dairy products were ignored. So were fish, which in various phases are the most valuable of | Ore specimens were scant and region renowned for mining Alaska’s resources. inconspicuous, in a activity. A few business enterprises had display booths, but most of the booths were reserves for games of chance, questionable in their effects. Without being unmindful of entertainment, the Fair should emphasize the various business aspects of Southeast Alaska. More farmers, not only in this locality but also in neighboring sections, should be importuned to take part. Products of the soil, dairy commodities, poultry, ordinary domesticated livestock and fur-bearing animals should be abundantly rep- resented, and inducements such as free transpor- tation and prizes should be offered by the exposi- tion. Outside covered pens, insuring adequate ven- tilation, should not be lacking. Fisheries and mining should be given places of first importance. Steamship companies should be urged to exploit by photographs and pamphiets the method of transportation common to this re- gion. Stores should show goods and merchandise. Merchants could enlist from the States the co- operation of brokers, wholesalers and manufacturers whose commodities are consumed and used here. Capable management is essential. It is avail- able, as evidenced by the recent exposition and by its predecessors, despite the almost unsurmountable obstacles of sparsity of time, conflicting private tasks and insufficiency of funds. Competent direc- tion must be forehanded. Personal solicitation should be made of prospective exhibitors months before the opening of the exposition, Correspondence with industrial and commercial interests in the States with reference to displaying, sampling and demon- strating their goods would have to be started in time to permit of necessary arrangements elsewhere as well as here. Of course, such management must be compen- stated. It may require exclusive attention to exacting duties for some considerable period, and cannot be obtained for nothing. Fairs usually are not promoted for direct profit. Their benefits are indirect. They exert an educa- tional influence worthy of generous financial en- couragement from the public treasury. They adver- tise commodities and attract visitors, and these results should prompt the liberal support of mer- chants. It would seem that Juneau, happily possessed of & commodious, well-appointed building, can be made the site of an annual fair truly representative of all Southeast Alaska, from Ketchikan to Yaku- tat, and creditable to the entire Territory. Legis- lature and business interests can afford to provide the few thousands of dollars necessary to insure success of the enterprise OUR FLYING FRENCH VISITORS. Costes and Bellonte, the French fliers, who made the first non-stop flight from Paris to New York and the first one-stop flight from Paris to Dallas, Texas, have added another marvelous feat to the fast accumulating airplane records. They have done a large bit to demonstrate the usefulness and en- durapce of airplanes, and their names may be added to those who have achieved nobly. ““The acclaim with which they were haled |Committee—Senators |Kendrick and John Thomas, and Chairman of the ithis afternoon enroute to McKinley National Park. |Miner to express to the citizens of Fairbanks their {thanks for {tending to adopt a pronunciation The display by | the Government Experiment Station at Sitka wastbut the Englishman’'s intonation often raises hum- New York, Dallas and Louisville was well earned and finely given. The thought that turned these fliers toward America and the welcome bestowed upon them testify that American and French friend- ship endures in spite of any petty trade rivalries {that might exist. And this suggests that the air trips between {this count and France and the travel back and forth ought to forecast closer relations rather than higher and ever higher tariff walls. The suffering from the terrific calamity that visited Santo Domingo is unforturate, but it is fortunate for surviving victims that the United States is so well organized to render aid and so| |willing to meet all demands from those in distress.

Well Interior Interstate Commerce Commission Frank McManamy and Rear Admiral Robert E. Coontz, left Fairbanks Before leaving our city they asked the News- the wonderful manner in which they had been treated, and for .the intelligent way in which they presented their remarks to the com- mittee. The committee, as a whole, left Fairbanks great- ly pleased with the courtesy extended them during their investigation and declared they are going to try—not to have the Alaska Railroad abandoned— but to see what can be done to save it and put it on a paying basis. “We are going back to Washington in a spirit of trying to solve your problems, and you must all help us,” declared one of the Senators. They all believe Alaska has a great future and intend keeping in mind the thought of working out all problems which will help the Territory. Fairbanks is unanimous in wishing the honor- able body God-speed on their return trip, and will welcome them back to our city again when they feel like coming and staying with us for a long- er period of time. An Elegant Diversity. | (Manchester Guardian.) A theory that the citizens of U. S. A. were that might be described as English-American’ instead of American- English has been put forward at the Cambridge Summer School. Curiously enough an American student at that seat of learning has also been found who says: “We admit the beauty of pure English | and its superiority to the American nasal twang, orous comment in the States” Much depends on | what is regarded as pure English; there are some experts who have asserted that the best English of all used to be spoken by the gentlefolk of Dublin. The best varieties of our mother tongue are certainly not found among the exaggerated rorms‘ of what is called Southern English—that is the | variety, it is to be feared, that “often raises hum- | orous comment in the States.” But the Americans, or their humorists, have some rather mistaken no- tions about the Englishman’s speech; their favorite travesty appears to be an extraordinary branch of the Cockney dialect with unnecessary “h's” added all over the place. Very few people in this island talk like America’s comic idea of an Englishman. And, it may be added, there are any number of Americans who do not talk with a nasal twang. |There is a difference between good American |speech and good English, but it would be contrary to all experience to say that it is a displeasing difference, or that there is any ground at all for hoping that it will ultimately disappear. Corpses and Squatte: (New York Herald Tribune.) Mr. Shipwreck Kelly, according to an item in the Hearld Tribune, was quite horrified at the end of his forty-sixth day on a flagpole at Atlantic City to see Mr. Jack Evans, a living corpse, climb- ing up to his perch, and to hear Mr. Evans ad- dressing him in a mournful tone of voice. What Mr. Evans wanted to talk about was the bad state of the corpse business. He had been buried alive for a whole week, and all that he had got out of it was $47.10; considering that he remained buried for twenty-four hours a day, this figured out to less than 28 cents an hour, and he didn't think this was enough. Mr. Kelly's heart was touched. He agreed that 28 cents an hour is pretty poor pay for being a living corpse, and is going to confer with Mr. Evans when he comes down from the pole Saturday night to see what can be done. Well, we are very happy to be of service in this situation; it is one to which we have given a great deal of thought in a general way, and we think we see what the |trouble is. Mr. Evans when he permits six feet of earth to be shoveled on top of him forthwith be-’ comes invisible; thus the customers have doubts | as to whether he is really there, and even if' they do not have doubts they derive a very tepid thrill, for it is hard to get excited about something you cannot see. What Mr. Evans needs is a glass casket in a store window or in some place suitable for such an exhibition. Let him take his place in one of these, and we guarantee plenty of people will be on hand, even if they have to pay for| the privilege, to have a look at him. \ Of course, he must watch out that he is not| mistaken for an English boxing champion. But with an American flag draped over the casket' everything ought to be clear, and we guarantee that the |}1ow ought to bring in some money. | | Mr. Wickersham's commission on law enforce- | ment and observance has concluded, from its sur-| veys, that we are not a “law-minded” people. It has also concluded that disproportionate punish- ments for petty felonies, such as the Jones Five- and-Ten Act, are “unsound.” Perhaps a people is not law-minded which is law-ridden.—(New York Times.) People are queer creatures who think a great man greater every time he says some obvious thing they say among themselves.—(San Francisco Chronicle.) The next time a Chicago gangster is “put on the spot” care should be taken to see that he leaves not a cheque behind.—(New York Times.) 105’ 45” W.
