ALASKANS WANT OUTSIDE CAPITAL.
“Marita rann.it bo .'am d save by resident devel
opment,” says the Fairbanks News-Miner, as n part
of its campaign against Interesting Outside capital
in the Territory.
No new country, especially a new country like
Ala ka where development can only come with large
capital, can b; developed quickly except through
the use of accumulated ravings from older countries.
The contention that Outside capitalists when they
put money into a new country acquire something that
belongs or ought to belong to those who live in the;
country is absurd. When a man cr a corporation in-1
lefts one milllioti dollars, for instance, in Alaska he j
does not take anything from any one living in the I
Territory. He adds a million to the wealth of the!
Territciy- -plus the "unearned Increment” that at
taches to other property in the vicinity of the in
vert im it! and plus the op port tinilrs for individuals
that are created through the investment. The in
vestment of capital in Alaska makes room for more
people and more people add. to the value of all the
property and to the opportunities of all those who
live near the added population.
The development of the United (States illustrates
the value of nitride investments. The West was
largely developed by Eastern and European capital.
Population followed these invi ments and popula-j
tlon caii.r d, for Instance, Iowa lands, to increase In |
value from $1.25 t.u acre to $500 an acre, and built
up scores of cities.
Unle:conservation policies can be carried out
In . ticii a way that they will induce capital to coma
to Alaska for the development of our resources,
then conservation will continue to prove a brake on
'progress. Fortunately for Alaska the Forestry Bureau
and those In other branches of Federal govern
mental activities realize this. The Forestry Bureau Is
now, and for ..metime past ha* been, doing all
within its pewer to induce capital to come to Alaska
to develop a pull) and paper manufacturing busi
ness. This policy of Col. Greeley. Mr. Flory and 1
these associated with them lias done far more to re-!
concile the peopl of Alaska to conservation than nil
the rot that lias been written or uttertd about saving!
rciourcc;-. for the people of Alaska. Alaskans want 1
resource* used and not saved, and that is what the
Forestry Bureau officials want.
JOHNSON TRIED TO CAUSE SUPPRESSION
OF PRESIDENT S WORLD COURT SPEECH.
The San Kranci .ro Journal of August 16 printed
n telegraphed letter front Judson Welliver, 1’rrsl- j
dent Hurding'a Chief Clerk, in which the latter nets
foflh in circumstantial details the proof that Senator
Hiram Johnson and hie friends attempted to reach I
President Harding for the purpose of prevailing upon
him not to give publicity to the speech on tlie World
Court and international matters which he had pre
pared for delivery at San Francisco. Senator Johnson
and his friends declared that such a speech in San
Francisco would be regarded as a direct challenge to
Senator Johnson in his own State, because the atti
tude of the President as net forth in that speech
was directly opposite to the Senator’s position on
those matters. Mr Welliver, to whom a represen
tative of Senator Johnson took their request, declares
that he told the representative of the Senator that1
tlie latter, in his Now York speech, was the dial-1
linger, and that the President would be put in a
pu; ilanimous position if he refused to speak.
The International News Service's account of the!
releasing of the President’s speech admits that an |
efTort was made to suppress the speech, and included
Secretary ( hristian c.s among thoFc who sought to
oirsaude the President from permitting its publica
tion. (Copies of the speech were already in the hands
o*' the newspapers, i It placed the blame for the pub
lication on Secretary Hoover, a political enemy of
• Senator Johnson. Mr. Christian denies that lie tried
to influence the President in the matter at all, and
declares that no one else talked to him on the sub
ject; i hat the decision to have the speech given to
the public was made by President Harding himself,
Mithout any one else trying to influence him.
Mr. Christian's statement and that of Mr. Welli
ver agree. The latter declares that he absolutely
refused to pass the recommendations of tile represen
taiive of Johnson on to anyone else or to see any
one else or to discuss the matter further. He says
Alex McCabe, a Johnson leader, was the man who
approached him and that he declared when hwjld so
tl at he had a mensage from Senator Johnson.
ABOUT THAT “DECREASING”
POPULATION.
Thr> Philadelphia Record, commenting on Presi
dent Harding s suggestion of Statehood for South
eartern Alaska, “ays th 'population, always trifling,
is rteadily dcfliniiw.” Tlie Philadelphia paper tells
a half truth that does more harm than a whole false
hood would. While the population of Alaska shrank
between the census of lhlo and that of l;*20, the
part of it for which President Harding proposed
Statehood, the part of it which he says contains no
per cent, of the population and developed resources,
did not decline in population. It has constantly
gained in population and developed resources, -'.nd
that the causes behind the belief that it will continue
so to gain, and to gain even more rapidly than in
the past, were sufficiently obvious to convince the
PieFident that the day for Statehood is near at hand.
The more Eastern papers talk about the manage
ment of the natural resources in the West the plainer
it becomes that the matter is a Western problem
about which the East knows nothing and the greater
the volume of evidence that the principle of self
government which Jefferson wrote into the Declara
tion of Independence is not only right but the only
practicable government.
If France were less interested in building tip a
tremendous military establishment she would, get
more sympathy in her desire to eollect those repara
tions and there would be more tolerance of her re
fusal to discuss her debts to other countries.
Massachusetts has at last furnished a
President not of the Adams family.—
(Springfield Republican.)
Hut she had to go to Vermont to get him.
if some scientist would devise a system of in
inoculating humans with the work glands of ants and
I bees it would be worthwhile.
Up the “Fair” Road to Success.
(Skagway Alaskan.)
Tli<“ lime for the Southeastern Alaska Fair is ap
I reaching. Will Skagway be represented?
A Fair undoubtedly attracts attention to the
sections eontrinuting exhibits as well as to the town
in which it Is In iu. At this time people are prob
ably mote interested in Alaska than they have been
at any previous time since the stampede in IS.11?.
When the gold rurli was on, the interest was 'n a
muse t< niporary, because it was not logical tiul there
was on unlimited amount of gold to be found. The
startling discoveries were sure to become fewer until
at length tho adventurers would lose interest and
only those who were willing to work earnestly for a
recompense which might and which might not be
forthcoming, would remain.
But, now, the official visit of the dignitaries from
Washington has impressed on the people in the States
i that there is something other than nuggets laying
I in the soil in Alaska. It has shown the people that
| the Government realizes that there are unlimited
; possibilities for development In agriculture, fox rais
ing, fisheries, coal mining and lumbering. And the
people are eager to know to what extent these possi
1 bilitirs are likely lo become probabilities,
j The Southeastern Alaska Fair will no doubt be
j advertised all over the const, and although there may
not he many people from the States visiting Juneau
and this portion of the Territory just on that ac
count, this section will gain publicity. Everyone
realizes that only a truly “live” country can produce
a worth while Fair, and since the Fair last year was
a success, and since it will he a success this year,
everyone will be convinced that the Southeastern
Alaska people are alive. They will realize that tho
residents of this section have enough faith in their
community, lo attempt to show ‘outsiders” that
there is a future for this Territory.
Alaska needs publicity fer something besides its
wealth in gold, and il will get it from the estab
lishment of an institution such as a Fair. But the
Fuir cannot be established as an institution unless
all of the towns that lias any better articles to
orhibit than Skagway. Skagway has long been noted
for ils agricultural products, and now Is the time
to put Skagway on the map as the best town in
• the north for agriculture.
; If has long been an established fact that you get
: out of anything Just as much as you put into it. Let
I Skagway, as well as all other towns in the South
eastern division put success into tile Fair, and in
turn lake out of the Fair—success!
Alaska.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
When the resources of Alaska shall have ap
proximated adequate development it truly will have
; won in perpetuity its claim to bo called the wonder
1 land cf America. In picturesque beauty, grandeur
land wealth it already is such a wonderland. Nor
| Switzerland nor Italy can vie with the mountain
i scenery of Alaska. No country in the world can
equal its lakes and forests, its mighty woodlands and
its imperial valleys, its glaciers, or the glamor of
that romance which was wrought by the hardy men
who dared this glorious northland and won it for
cur own.
One day and that day is not far distant—Alaska
will shelter a teeming and prosperous population. Its
cities will rival Petersburg, Moscow, Copenhagen;
its wealth will make the long traverse over modern
railroads and on the flood of mighty rivers to its
amply harbored coasts. In that day the Alps and
the Pyrenees will no longer lure our tourists to
It rrr majesty of mountain scenes.
A Fine Tribute.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
It was given to Senator .fames A. Heed to phrase
one of the most graceful and felicitous of the tributes
paid to the memory of President llarding. Though
one of the late President's bitterest opponents in
politics and a man notorious for the acerbity of his
| fiPeech. Senator Iteed spoke out of a full heart
'and with a sincere mind when saying that in the
j life of Warren Harding there was "nothing of that
I glamour which goes with riches; nothing of that
| arrogance which sometimes comes with success, su
iting in the sunlight of great triumph, Mr. and
’Mrs. Harding appeared plain, typical Americans
pho President regarded his success not as a bauble
of glory or a crown of honor, but as a great respon
sibility assumed."
There is the dignity of a fitting monumental
inscription ,n t,lal iast and singularly expressive
sentence.

A lot of bridal couples get clocks,

presents when what they need is a
house and lot, an automobile and
enough money to live on for the rest
of their days.
We suppose the books on how to
train children are useful to those who
make a living writing them.
Women are making quite a little

will be able to find a better place
than the back of the drtsser or the
bottom of a chair for parking their
guns.

Love is queer. flUfhen a man gives
a girl his love he is as unhappy
its a man paying taxes, unless she
returns it.
Another thing a good many girls
have learned Is that It takes a lot
less time to bob their hair than it
does for nature to unhob it.
Some people's idea of a drab ex
istence is to have to live within their
means.
Another thing t1ka! starts the hon

cover a wife needs even more acces
sories than an automobile.
It is hard to tell which is the worst,
the low brow, the high brow or the

The reason most men steer clear of
soul mates is because they have found
a wife can give them all the trouble
they want.
