THE ARMY IN ALASKA.
In the May number of the Infantry Journal is an
article by (Jan. \V. P. Klichardson on "The Army In
Alack i," which briefly, all too briefly, outlines the
work the A;:ny l as done in this Territory since the
Unite I cs ta; k it ever from Russia. While the
article, as raid, is brief and Rives merely outlines,
to (to 3 who have lived 1( ng in Alaska, are ac
quainted (With the unorganized conditions of a quarter
century and mere ago, before there was a road any
where in the Territory ext. ;>t in the immediate vicin
ity of a village rr mining camp here and there, no
means cf quick com nr u nl oat it n ait all. and lack of food
or rlr.tbing depots exert it along the coast and a few
on the Yukon River, and have witnessed the transi
tion that has taken place, it tolls a thrilling story
cf great work: well don? under conditions that try
men's mettle.
No branch of Governmen service anywhere has
done more lor any section of our country, and done
it with loss ifuss nnd fe th. rs, with lets advertising,
with more unreif h dcvcdlon to duty or greater
energy and efficiency titan the United States Army
lias dene for Ala:ka. In the year during and following
the Klondike, Nome and other stampedes it gov? the
Territory assurance again;': disorder, fed and clothed
the hungry and healed the maimed and sick. It ex
plored the country and blazed routes for travel. Later
1t built the telegraph Unco over 1,400 miles of wilder
ness trails which il made and laid the cable to tlie
Stater,. Then it conrtmeted 1,000 miles of road and
tr.udo over 3,000 miles of trails. When one who knows,
con rider* the coridftinm under which this work was
done, the privations, Hie fights with cold and heat
and mosqultoe;, and often hunger, the obstacles pree
ent; d by wildernes s, mountain ranges, torrential
Citrcam-, ice-jammed rivers, rapidly changing seasons
■and a thousand and one other all but unsurmounltable
difficulties, and when one Considers the importance
In the development of the Territory of the work
gieifcimed, he cannot fail to pay devoted tribute to
the army and take off his hat 'In respect for the
individuals, officers and enlisted men, who did the
work.
There Is one deficiency in ithe Infantry Journal
article of General Richardson it halt causes one to wish
that come one else had written It, and that Is Its
failure to portray adequately Iho part of this won
deiful work that was performed by General Riebard
ron, hdniiclf, during the score of years—the best years
ol h'.'a life—be gave with such zealous energy and
pain; taking devotion to Alaska. No one man bus
done more for this Territory than General Richardson
and no army officer ever did more than he to exem
plify tho army npirit cf oinglenass of purpose and
adherence to duty.
A LARGE ORDER.
An cnthun’atrtlc and militant California protilbl
tlonirt has made a "demand" on President Harding
that he ou t Governor Smith of New- York from his
executive chair, and his "demand" Is being reinforced
by others in mere or lotv voluminous correspondence
In the papers.
This leads the Los Angeles Times to remark:
The privat ocltizen who demands that Presi
dent Harding oust Governor Smith from the
I Executive ohuir at Albany Is asking some
ouster. Even the President of the United
Plater cannot remove a Governor by writing
him a postal card. It is doubtful whether
even Harding, Hughes and Hoover, the offi
. clency board of-the Administration, could ex
1 patriate A1 Smith, even if they had a raft
ready.
Referring to his fight against evolution and defeat
at the Precibytcrlan General Assembly W. J. Bryan
8tfys he war, •'ntcam rolled.” Mr. Bryan has a keen
eye for statin rollers and machines. He sees thorn
everywhere.
AMERICANS KNOW GOOD MUSIC.
That the American e rltlev and American public
know gcod mueie when tliey hear it and appreciate
no other is the di covery made in this country by
Bronte law Huberman, the famous Vienna musician,
who has just returned to his home from a trip to
America and is telling his -people about us. The
Music'jl Editor of a news u:*oclation which serves
the pre:!3 of Kurt pc and America from Prague and
Vienna, commenting upon the return of llobenman,
guoobd hint as saying that when one passes the
critics of New York his reputation in America and
Europe Is a retired. lie writes from Vienna:
The writer romemhers an Adelina Petti
concent in tills city only three decades ago,
where little 11 years old Bronislaw Huber
nran ployed as an extra during an inter
mi on and cctptivatod tho Vienna hearts.
It was on that evening, that his star began
to chine and today, SO years after, it is in
itc Zenith. He has recently returned from
America and says, it is entirely wrong to
llhink that all you need in America is a
great European name and npoctacular ad
vertising end that the American musical
public has Its own idea* about music and
being vised to the be«t. will scrutinize the
performer with a critical ear, always on tho
defensive. To continue in his own words:
“He who passes the great examination at his
first New York appearance before the most
independent critics who are aware of their
responsibility, has graduated—not only for
America, but for the whole world."
Thus far the attempts to create Third Party senti
ment in the United States have been met Without en
thusiasm. People are not interested, apparently.
Likewise there is decided coolness on the part of the
people toward suggestions of a progressive campaign
for the control of the Republican convention. It
begins to look as If political lines would be drawn
much aH they were In 1920 witih the exception that
the Republicans have Hie disadvantage of being
tlie 'ins.”
Wanted—Prospcr»ors.
I Daw son News.)
Predictions constantly are being made as to the
groat future of Yukon as a mineral producer when
her cant area of 200,000 square miles is thoroughly
developed. Who is to bluze the way to that rtage of
{ development.
It is estimated Yukon is not more than 20 per
cent, explored from the standpoint of the mineralogist.
To o peel finally locate the treasures In the lodes and
j veins requires the earnest attention of someone. That
someone is the pronpoctor.
The iproapeotor 1e a rare bird these days—'and yet
the world is waiting on the efforts of his species.
The prospector is needed in a mineral country like
this and the world at large cannot get on without
him.
What are we gblng to do about It. Here is a
vast country generally admitted to be highly min
eralized and inviting to the prospector. Time was
when there were thousands prospecting in this Ter
ritory. The gold exoltament held them temporarily.
They are gone. Today the real prospectors can be
counted only in hundreds. The old generation is
pausing, and few young men take to the game. The
Jure of the slavish and petty white-collar calling
gets too many of them rather titan the call to the
life of freedom under the blue skies.
Yukon doubtless has the mineral. The general
formations and indications of all kinds point to
the fact. But the tank of specific location Is one
that must be done by the prospector. What Is going
fo bo done to encourage him. Legislation that will
give him every opportunity, evory encouragement,
every inducement must ever bo kept in mind. In
Federal and local assemblies the prospector should he
given first consideration—first without exception in a
land like Yukon, where the welfare and prosperity
of every other individual is dependent upon him.
Let tlie prospector turn up the big prize in
: mineral wealth, and the investor will he right there
on ills liccl*. Widen the man with big money comes
I to develop, treat him right also. Both are needed.
I But right now Yukon's greatest need is the pros
I pr etor. Many ways of aiding him directly or in
directly can be suggeJted, and should be followed up.
j The Yukon Council, new about to meet, will be
in a portion to work on this line and with support
! of others may be enabled to take timely steps in this
most tusential of all matters fundamental to the
prosperity of Yukon.
Third Parties.
—
(Indianapolis News.)
Third partly movements, judged from the otand
I point of practical politicians who are accustomed to
! weigh success or faiiluro on the basis of offices won
| or lost, have not 'been popular In the United States
! Six mouths ago considerable talk was heard as to
j the probabilly of a new major purity arising, but it
lias waned rapidly in recent weekr. Senator Borah
| has not been disposed to look with favor on a sug
1 gcation of the Committee of Forlty-eight which finds
) many thiingls wrong, it hat he lead a new political
j movement. Senator Johnson thus far has shown no
i inclination to go outside the party in socking to es
j tabllsh whatever he may be fighting for. Senator
La Follctte, perhaps loss regular than either Borah
or Johnson, is hardly likely, tin view of what has
! happened, to (take a chance as the leader of a forlorn
i hope.
The people a® a whole have given no indication
| of any desire for a third major party. That, perhaps,
I is due more than 'anything else to an increasing
I conservatism, or lo a feoling ithait the present is no
i time (to. take chances with new theories in gevern
i menit. As It is, the drift from established moorings
1 has been rather rapid and there is a growing desire
j to take atock before indulging in plunges. Wait and
; boo—that would ream to sum up the prevailing view
i of the public—and it baa much to commend it.
If at 'times third parties have been sponsored by
J men of high ambitions and unselfish motives, on
l numerous occasion." the movements have represented
chiefly selfish ambition and personal hatreds. In
such oases the people have not been deceived and It
docs not seem probable 'that they will ho misled in
the future. Both the lofty and the base exist now
in politic", as they always have ex’inted. Neither of
the old parties has all of one and none of tlie other,
but neither would tv third major party. Rightly con
ducted, and with a close adherence to the principles
that gave them binth, the old parties afford ample
j opportunity for an expression of voters' desires. The
| people, apparently are seeling it so, although they
j undoubtedly would like each of the organizations
to 1 n«l«t more on the principles for which It was
: founded and not. bo led aside so easily Into by-patlis.
