ALASKA COMPARED TO OREGON
In debating the Alaskan railroad
ill Delegate Wiekersiinm read ex
-.".cL from the Congressional Rec
ord debate over the Oregon contro
\ -•■/. Se.iutor 1). yton, of New Jer
sey, at that time said:
"Wi.u tiie exception cl land along

uuii: "Oregon can never bo one

our l.'.v.s to it wo inus' consider it as

Oregon ever to become a stale? A

wo must make two or thfee new

Do not Liie foregoiiig passages
sound a bit familiar? Isn't it the
same ohl fight over again for the
recc\. uitiun of Alaska? And who of
i:s will hesitate to declare that Al
aska, in time, under favorable leg

a papulation as that now residing

1; has ■ ecu said tiu.t the United
Autos never mt.de -i better invest
ment tU.-.n when it bought Alaska
front Russia. The purchase price
v."s $7,200,000 and it is estimated
that $20,000,000 has been spent o:i
it since Alaska became part of the
L'r.i ed Suites. T'ie investment was
a good one from a commercial point
l>. viv\., for Alaska has produced
ucward of $450,000,000 since the
purc;ii£o. Its coal lauds -ire of
■iieat.T proportions than those of
I'er,:<sy!\ nia, and its production of
copper is equal to the per capita
production of Monti ua. In the
. t fourteen years the production
of copper amounts ic more than
1 t, 000, 'tOO. Tiiese facts alone,
when brought to the'attention of
our law makers, should be suffici
ent proof that Alaska is more than
self supporting—many times, and
with tile aid of railroads to bring
the resources of the country would
mean increased business for the
industry and commerce of the Uni

Golf Game of People,
and Life Insurance
Companies
Should Support It
I By Former President of the United States .WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
i IIOIV. to ><•.; the time not far distant when public golf courses will be
o.Iercd to the public, as in Scotland, for those who cannot pay for
costly club privileges. I would have the funds RAISED BY TAX
| ATI ON. Goif is pre-eminently a GAME FUR THE PEOPLE, and
: they should be allowed to play it.
GOLF IS BOTH AMUSING AND SERIOUS. I BEGAN MY EXPERI
ENCE IN IT TWENTY YEARS AGO. I LEAR,NED IT IN CANADA,
WHERE THE GREENS WERE ROUGH AND CONDITIONS WERE SO
DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME THAT I OUGHT TO HAVE BECOME A
; BETTER PLAYER. NOW I HAVE ABOUT FIFTEEN CLUBS, AND I
! AM A30UT FIFTEEN TIMES WORSE. GOLF IS PSYCHOLOGICAL,
! A,\D THE PRESENCE OF SO MANY INSTRUMENTS TO PLAY IT
| WITH INDICATES WHAT YOU HOPE FOR.
I believe that John Reid, the introducer of srolf in America, is en
I titled to the GRATITUDE OF THE WHOLE AMERICAN NA
TION. Golf is something that life insurance companies should support.

I City Drags the Foreig^r Down
By Rev. NORMAN M. THOMAS of Ne.v York City
ART'NTS living in New York's congested districts are bewildered.
They were reared in country districts in Europe. Coming here,
they do not know what to do with themselves or their„children.
Manv parents are worried almost to distraction They arc careful
of their children, vet thev SEE T11E1R GIRLS I GREAT DAN
GER AND THOUSANDS OF THEIR BOYi . ED INTO EVIL
LIVES BY GANGSTERS. Do not get the ide that because there is
crime bv those forei/n peoples they were of n«cessity bad when at home
in Europe. New York conditions have in most r *es made the crime.
Last summer one mother sent \\£jd to me l' nor daughter asking
th >r I "get John locked up for two months." Schoo' had closed, and she
was afraid th;t iter son. fourteen or fifteen vear- old, would get into bad
companv. SHE FELT THAT IF HE WAS IN JAIL SHE
WOULD AT LEAST KNOW WHERE HE WAS.
