TREAT CAPITAL FAIRLY.
Alaska's greatest need is population. Population
follows development. Development eoines with the
inveetment of capital. Therefore, Alaska's first need
is always capital for development.
The easiest capital to get for investment in Alaska
are the profits from capital already invested in the
Territory. That has been the experience in the past
here, and it lias been the experience of all sections of
the country.
It is sc obviously for tlie best Interest of everyone
who is living in Alaska and whose welfare depends
open the growth and development of the country
that it be made very plain to those who have capital
invested in this country that they are welcome and
will have a square deal that it would seem no argu
ment would be needed. If capital invested in Alaska
is getting satisfactory returns and the treatment of
those with investments here is pleasing to them not
only will mor.t of the profits be reinvested but we
may look with confidence for more and more invest
ments from those with capital.
Let Alafka always and under all circumstances
deal fairly with capital, anil tho future prosperity of
the Territory will he assured.
TAKING PERSONAL AFFAIRS ANI)
POLITICS SEPARATELY.
Not in many years have the clouds which foretell
the coming of a stormy political campaign began
j gathering no long In advance of tin polling as at
present. The indications are plentiful that wo shall
witness a very strenuous and earnest political cam
paign next year.
However, this recalls that usually in America
strenuous political campaigns are mere nearly ab
stract prepetition: than such campaigns in other
countries have been in the past. In fact, the more
earnest campaigns are loss likely to create personal
feuds or dire di dr than tho more quiet kind, for
the light of publicity shine: so brightly on all phases
of them that there is less chance that anything will
be done to cause ructions or disrupt personal friend
ships. Americans have always, generally speaking,
even during the period when polities was so swiftly
ushering in a tint ■ when those of different opinions
would be gathered into armed hostile camps, taken
their personal affairs and their politics separately.
They will probably continue to do so.
Referring to this phase of American character, the
Boston News Bureau recently printed this illustrative
story:
Wall Street bus witnessed few fraterni
ties more intimate or efficient, or having
longer uninterrupted careers than that be
tween General Samuel Thomas and United
. State Senator Calvin S. Brice. Brice was
red headed and pugnacious, Thomas smiling
ly smoth; llrice was a Democrat with
personality enough as opportunist to dom
inate a Republican State be and Thomas,
dmth of Ohio, coming to New York as pro
jectors of the Nickel Plate, parallel to the
Vanderbilt Lake Shore, their capital largely
hope. General Thomas called Brice "a col
lecting Democrat," apropos ol Ills capture
of the Scnatorship; himself as “a contribut
ing Republican" for though Major McKin
ley tried to persuade Thomas into his
Cabinet he resolutely declined.
“Dear William," he wrote to the Presi
dent-elect, "please forgive my side-step. I
am born for happier filings than to tie a
Washington docr-mat, and you are entitled
to a better friendship than I would be giv
ing you by ‘loafing round the throne.' Get
better acquainted with a better Ohioan. * * *
Send for John Hay."
Political sentimentalities cut scant figure
between those who comprised the always
aggre isive and onctimcs disturbing com
bination which Wall Street knew as "Brice
and Thoma " its personnel in time includ
ing financiers conspicuously related to every
phase of public affairs.
Two notable Washington figures for a
reason closely affiliated one a Republican,
one a Democrat, both running wild after
the new idols of Populism, were among the
mutual friends periodically foregathering in
New York -Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kail
sas, crony of Thomas; Daniel W. Vooorhoes.
« "Tall Sycamore of the Wabarli," herolzcd by
Brice. Those slat men foil apart, Ingalls
accused Voorhees of abandoning greenback
and silver "principle:!," Sherman purchase
law provisions. Bland seignorage coinage
fantasies though up to almost voting time
the Indiana Senator had been us voiceful as
any other radical. Ingalls's anger catapulted
his distinctive vocabulary in a Congressional
speech that did not hesitate at bitter person
alities on the very eve of a dinner at which
the New Yorkers were hosts, with both
Senators for orators.
"Maybe we'd better prepare for a little
bloodshed," ventured Thomas.
“I'll vouch for my man- so far as any
thing serious is concerned.” assured Brice.
r^i‘5)f ’pourjie, he might kill Ingalls, hut not a
thing worse than that.
Nevertheless, that afternoon Calvin S,
Brice quit Wall Street for Washington,
where he hastened to seek Voorhees. Not
at home, not at his clubs, no trace any
where till in the corridor of the old Willard
Motel Unit Lament—-sunshine maker for the
administration—was encountered.
“Como along—'get into the battle. Up in
my room on the third floor Dan Voorhees
and Ingalls are having it out."
"What!” ejaculated the not usually im
pressionable one of Wall Street. "having
it out—what?”
"Been at it for hours," pursued Lamont.
"Ingalls has got the life licked out of him."
Again the agitated Brice demanded:
“What! Take me there quick.” Together
they bolted for the elevator.
All that Lamont said was verified.
The pair were playing checkers.
Tlie Sonar Law Government has been twice de
feated recently in two divisions in the British Com
mons over rather important matters. It is regarded
as possible, if not probable, that it may be forced
to go before the people at no distant day. Before
that contingency comes, however, it is believed that
Premier Law will resign and that Austen Chamber
lain or Lord Birkenhead will be selected to succeed
him and take the leadership in the campaign.
Those who oppose the President's Alaska fish
reservation proclamations have not proposed a nuli
fleation convention as yet but the old South Carolina
doctrine is close to the surface in some of the declara
tions of principles.
Lassen Peak.
(New York World.)
Tho news that Lassen Peak In California is emit
ting duet and smoke from a new crater on Its east
side has no doubt greater patriotic interest than vol
cnic importance. Lassen, to be sure is no Monte
Pelee or Krakatoa, nor yet a Vesuvius, ft Is a well
behaved and innocuous volcano discharging steam and
mud instead of flame and molten lava, though some
Fovon years ago a flood of mud from «it wrecked
houses in a village near its base and killed cattle.
Hut of ail its moderation it is our own only
active volcano outside of Alaska and as such an object
of national pride. That it should again be function
ing after its manner at a time of seismic upheavals
and volcanic activity in other parts of the world
makes the phenomenon of general public Interest.
Hasson is an industriuos volcano to the extent of
its powers. It indulged in more than 100 eruptions
in 1911.
A Compliment to Pro-League Republicans.
(New York Poet.)
Approval of the President's course in regard to
the World Court, says the Herald in its news col
umns, "comes from Democrats or pro-League Repub
licans." On the other hand, "there are signs that
the Republican party will be split in the campaign
if tho President insists upon action by the Senate
on the Hughes protocol.”
In other words: If Mr. Harding antagonizes the
irroconci laities they will split the parly. If Mr.
Harding disappoints the pro-League Republicans they
will take tlveir medicine and continue to vote the
Republican ticket. If Mr. Harding disappoints Hiram
Johnson, Hiram Johnson will raise an awful row. If
| Mr Harding disappoints Hughes and Hoover, Hughes
, ani* Hoover will do nothing. The compliment thus
'paid by the Herald to Hughes und Hoover is obvious.
Wasted—$2,500,000,00(1!
(Boston Nows Bureau.)
Counting only the costs he can see, Uncle Sam
| last year lost about $2,500,000,000 in strikes. That
I is nineteen times as much as the United States navy
(coot the year before the war began; it is thirteen
tunes the cost of the Panama canal; it is more than
| twice the total building construction in the larger
! cities of the United States and Canada exclusive of
I Now York in 1922; it is $275,000,000 more than 041
| navy appropriations when they reached their peak in
I war time. Nobody knows how much more would have
to be added to the strike bill If all the losses visible
and invisible could be computed.
No accountant cun compare alleged gains and
actual losses and figure out the full balance sheet of a
strike. Any householder can ascertain how much
more he pays for coal when the miners strike, but no
statistician can calculate the loss inflicted on busi
ness in general by the cessation of mining. Every
individual In every remote hamlet in every part of
tlte United States in the ultimate analysis lias to
beur a share of the cost of a great strike, but the
amount of that share in dollars and cents he never
can know.
Easy Roads.
(Cleveland Times-Commercial.)
When one seeks a toft road he is likely to find
! it a hard one.
I Nothing; ambiguous albout this sentence, either,
despite tlie fact that it may appear to be very much
! that way. Ask anyone who has ever driven a wagon
, or motor car whether he has not found that the
I country roads were much more difficult to traverse
’ liian those whicli were paved. His answer will settle
the matter of uncertainty—If any exists in your mind
as to whether ono can make greater progress along
a soft road than he can on a hard one.
All along life's pathway we will find the same
rule holding pretty nearly true. Though it Is rather
pleasant to step into a newly furrowed field, one docs
not usually enjoy the expereince of plodding through
the soft and sweet-smelling earth after he has
tramped for a while. Let those who have been nc
curtcmed to spend virtually all their time in the
cities go into the country for a week or two and very
scon after they begin to walk through the roads,
aero s the fields and among the rustling leaves of the
woods, they'll find themselves becoming extremolv
tired.
it is sensiiblc. therefore, to advise against people
seeking the easiest tasks and the softest pathways to
travel if they arc desirous of finding much happiness
end success in life. Try to make the work before
you daily as easy as you can by the adoption of
efficiency and scientific rules, but never turn from an
opportunity because it does not lie directly along
a smooth, rose-hedged pathway which invites you
to pass through.
-Mr. Voldstead, former Representative and author
of the Federal dry enforcement act, forfeited $2 in n
Washington Court the other day for the parking of
his automobile too close to a water plug. Such Is the
irony of fate! — (Cincinnati Enquirer.)
