The senate has decided that Senator Newberry shall retaiu his seat. '
That Is perhaps the best way out of it. While there is some sentiment to
the effect that the extravagant use of money by political candidates might
have a tendency to open the way to corruption—and probably does to some
extent—it is not particularly of record that any such widespread distribu
tion of money in campaigns has resulted in dangerous or gross abuse. (
.Much of the harm is imaginative, finally, a::d controversal devel
opments do not appear to stand up on final tests. True, excess use of the
"pork barrel" has badly sprained the technical structure of some elections,
but vicious usurpation of rights and principles are uot glaringly noticeable
It is a common practice for partisans to rant and rave over the alleged
crookedness and shortcomings of the other l'ellow, and the gossip is de
signed and amplified to work harm. In that respect, perhaps, money
might be charged as the item responsible for much misrepresentation. The
misuse to which money is put is largely what is the matter with it. Money
is good or bad only so far as its manipulation develops either element.
Newberry was up against a hard triple combination. He faced a pri
mary law. one of the wealthiest meu in the Vn ted States, and the hand
picked candidate of a hard-boiled administration.
He defeated the combination, and unquestionably it cost him plenty of
money. He never would have made the grade without meeting the si:na
tion and fighting it out as it existed. Naturally he was charged with polit
ical corruption. The same charge can be made against Ford, with as much
truth, and with as little final result.
It is not apparent that an expensive campaign will necessarily hamper
the puhli<- efforts of the senator who paid well to reach the goal of his am
bitions.
It may broadly be said that there are men in tl e senate who spoilt far
more money in a campaign than did Newberry ,,r Kurd. The conditiou has
always existed, probably always will.
Different opinions will always prevail as to tho justification of large
campaign budgets. But th e sweeping usation of corruption seldom rc»
• onc.les with the actual performance of the system. If the way ever was
paved for crooked political practice it is under the primary plan. Deceit
a stock in trade under t ?e primary. Even at that, lavish use of money
..as revealed but few examples that were startling!}* criminal in intent. The
disposition is to get along as well as pos.--.ble with all things as created
for us. It an item* beco:' ses excessive:/ overbearing or unbalanced it is
generally straightened out. And while one hardly sees equity in a pro
1 *\ss that seemingly places politics within te grasp only of those provid
ed with a long purse, calm log c impels one to the belief that a system has
something to do with it. :m«l a. long as tie condition prevails we shall
probably abide by it.
As Hitchcock intimated the other day. t! e o*Bce hardly appears worth
it. But some fellows aspire just the same. They are not to be widely
charged as crooks because they have aspirations that cost money.
Theorecticallv every protection must be extended our laws and insti
tutions Practically, however, this often is fraught with considerable diffi
culty. We "view with alarm" and condemn excessive campaign wads and
t .e senate frowns and deplores ti e i! "vr and menace—and then we go
tight ahead and spend the money.
It's a great pare if we can keep it.—Pocatella Tribune.

The hlstroy of the church is glorious, but those who have made it glo
rious sl*-*p with the fathers. The Master called t' e men of His own gen
eration to turn away from the past and to take up the living questions of
the day. "It was said of old lime, but I say unto you!" declared this su
prer e individualist, as He sought to turn men away from rites and cus
toms that were mellow, if not decaying with age. to an every day religion.
He failed with them even as He has failed with us. We have not Christ
ianized all our activities, private and individual, political and social. On
t;.e door of the cautus we have put the sisn. "(live up religion all ye
who <»nter here," and over the door of the prayer-meeting the other no
tice. "(live up politics all ye who enter here." and the result is a growing
and notorious difference between politics and prayer-meetings.
The contrast i3 equally marked in the industrial sphere. The business
man slaves for luxuries and then suffers from over indulgence in them. The
cyclones of passion that tear their way a:ross the surface of society: the
falsH socialism that would arrest human progress by a new and strange
despotism; the finance and trade and Industry, which are operated with
the motive of getting rich, destroy far more than they have created
and left us poor beyond all computation. Our industrial organization t»
today suffering fror.] a sickness that is contagious and r ay be caught by
all social, political and religious organizations. 1'niess cured it resul.s in
d»-ath. and commonly in death with convulsions. That sickness is selfish
ness. The basis of our life must be founded on brotherhood and not on
strife. Men must conquer themselves, their vices, their prejudices, their
envy and jealousy of each other. Only then can they expand their con
quest of evil and union of good into a brotherhood which will band t! e
earth. I'ntil that is accomplished, properitv and power, like the jewel in
tii* hilt of the king's ankus. will bring all evils in their train. Society. like
a wounded snake, wilt drag its slow length along, until the spirit of the
Master is applied to all life.—Montreal Family Herald and Weekly Star.

Alaska's Output
We are running today a portion
of the advance statement given out
by the U. S. Geological Surrey of
the department of the interior,
which has been sent to the press of
Alaska.
The statement will be continued
from issue to issue as It is too long
for one insertion:
Coal
The output of coal was about 7*,-,
©AO tons in 1921 ar.d 61,111 ton? in
1920. In 1921 atout 5S.000 ton*
came from the M a tan u sk a field,
principally from Uie Eska n ir.o. i
rperated by the A. ask an Frginoer
ing Commission to supply coal for
the railroad. The .Vavy Coal Com-1
mission continued undergrotird ex-!
ploration for coal At Chickt-'oon an.l
at Coal and Moose .-reeks, with fair
ly encouraging results. Th« Esfca
mine. operaie<1 s?tiee 1917. was

ing of a railroad to Controller Biy.
The Healv coal mine. In the Xe-.
nana lignite field, is now being oper
ated on a regular productive haisi
During the winter 3f 1920-21 some
coal was also mired on Lignite
creek, in the samt field, by the
Broad Pass Coal Cj. Small lignite
mines were operated at several
widely scattered localities—two
along the Alaska railroad; one at
Kugruk. Seward Peninsula, and
one at Wainwright Inlet. It Is prob
able that small quantities of coal
were also mined at other localities,
from which no reports have yet
come. In 1921 coal was produced
at probably a dozen localities.
The most significant feature of
the year's coal min.ng Is that there
are now two commercial mines, the
Evans-.'ones and the Healy, and
these mines though only small pro
ducers. will be operated through
out the year became they have rail- i
road transportation. Both these]
mines are the result of local enter
prise
The question whether the depos
its of high-grade b:tuminous coal in
the Matanuska and Bering River
fields contain a large tonnage of foe!
available under the present high :
cost of recovery ai d with the pres- j
ent market is still unanswered, j
There is. however, no donbt that]
one or both of thete coal fields will
be able to supply the local demand.
Actual mining of the lower era Jo
of Matanuska coal has proved that
it can be producec in competition
with imported coal The Alaskan
Engineering Commission has dur
ing four years of operation at the
Eska mine, made an outpu'. of near
ly 200.0f>0 tons of coal at a jost of
about Jl.150,000. or $5.60 a ton.
This was used in the construction of
the railroad Had the government
imported this coal, it would have
cost nearly 5S.000.J00. This proves,
beyond doubt that commercial min
ing in at least part of the Matanu-|
ska field is feasible. Some have gone |
so far as to claim that the Matanu-j
ska branch of the Alaska railroaJ.
which cost less than $2,500,000, has
already proved a blunder. Such j
statements are without basis of fact,
as shown by the record of mining In i
the Matanuska field.
