ALASKA IS INTERESTED.
Tin' crust of bread Ihrown al us
by congress, when we are hungry.
Mimesis |o lis lhal Alaska i*
much more interested in nation
al legislation than is I Ik* East, be
cause of |ho fae| that all of our
resources are in llie control of
the general jroverninenl. Unlike
I lie East, we are not. made up of
manufaclnrinjr coinmunities and
cannoi work mil our own salva-J
lion. Everything we have neednfi
we must iniporl: I lie wcallh we
create comes from the earth and
i- new richi's added In I lie world's j
supply.
Sixty llioii- ,n-| of u«. incliiil— j

produced in one yejir $00^000.0()0. j
The East knows nothing of the!
nt!111i11isIi*aI inn of our public re
sources or of its reipiirein ■ills.
We have in the past, found it a I
difficult mailer to secure modi-!
ticalion« of the laws governing
the working and disposition of
our resources In lit conditions in
this northern section.
><*i I Iter congress nor the ad
ministration recognizes the fact
l.li a I there is a marked difference
between. Ili3 conditions obtaining
in Alaska and the stales, with the
result lliat Eastern theorists aro
attempting fo correct supposed
evils here which exisred in I he old
er communities. Instead of help
ing us every administrative act
is directed towards the making of i
the development of this country
more difficult.
Tin* great resource*, such as
coal, oil and waler power of llie
slates was I here for any man to
utilize and every inducement was
given to lead men to develop these;
resources, fo the end that tliej
weallh of the nation could l>ej
added lo and the growth of com i
uiimilies lie siiinufaled.
The present policy, as directed i
inwaril Alaska. i< to discourage
investment so fnr as the devel
opment of resources is concerned.i
Ignoring the fact Hint it is much J
more difficult (o develop coal, oil.
minerals or even waler power, in j
Alaska, than in the Eastern
stales. I lie powers thai he not)
only made i| harder for an Alas- j
kan to do anything willi the vasti
resources at our hand, hut any
man who has any idea of bringing'
into u»e such resources is re-j
yarded with suspicion and as n.

west, using Iho lorin in lis frnn
lior sense. As a callloman ho nn
dnnhl prortlod as nlhor ealllome
did. Pinchot, Tafl and Fisher
have had no western experience.
In fact, none of them have had
to struggle; much less to grow
up with a new country. Pinchot
was horn with a silver spoon in
his 111014 th, Taft was pushed
ahead by wealthy and powerful
relatives, and Fislfer married
money. It is this quartet who
are t ?aching pioneers how to make
the wilderness blossom like a
rose. And f«od help Alaska and
Alaskans!
GEN. WILLIAM BOOTH.
In the death of William Booth,
founder of the Salvation Army,
the world has lost one of its
greatest and best men. The or
ganization of which lie was the
life and active head is doiug un
told good in many countri s ami
[among many peoples.
With the religious •••insolation
|he offered the submerged tenth,
there was bread; when he otTered
thein peace and rest. he gave them
a couch to lie upon. Ilis Chris
tianity was of the practical kind,
nevertheless the Christianity of!
the Savior. Objection has been
made In his methods, yet time has
long since vindicated bis .judg
ment.
Dr. Booth and his organization
fell thai Dives could care for him
self, 1ml T.azzarus needed a help
ing hand; llie daughter of the
High Priest had plenty lo look af
ter her, but Mary Magdalen need
ed a Savior (o bring out of her the
good thai lay dormant.
Whatever may be our religious!
beliefs we must concede that the
dead founder of the Salvation
Army stands as a Kiant among
those who have devoted their!
lives to the regeneration of their
fellowmen. In the death of this
simple, though wonderful, man
the world has lost one of its
greatest assets for good.
