PRESIDENT HARDING TALKS SENSE.
•I hope th:il lli»' development which will accrue
will he all that the pi pi o! Alaska art1 hoping fur
and more, but 1 baldly pi i riffle ii will come in any
hurried way: 1 cann::l see how it may,'' raid President
Harding in ills Golden Spike speech.
And in lb" Golden Spike speech, and others that
he made, the Prc.UUnt, while promising every pos
sible aid by tlie Government, declared that the people
of Alaska will do more toward Alaskan development
than It will bo possible for the great government of
the Untied Sto do. In one of his speeches lie
cautioned tlie people nit to rxpect too much from
the Government, and intimated that the situation
demands self-reliance.
All of which goes to allow that President Harding
is an observing man and posi sen sound sense. lie
has not been carried away by tin spirit of the boomer.
The Government may help, it lias helped. It lias
afforded the people of i In interior of Alaska Ingress
and rgres-. ,ir lias iiui'.l a railroad and many wagon
and automobile uiadi. Ii may build more roads and,
If ruce iry. or whin necessary, extend tlie railroad or
build branches. lint those things will not make a
country. They give pi >pie an opportunity to utilize
the rcrcuiHts. Tlie pci pie must find and develop the
i .sources e.r there will no: lie* growth and additional
prosperity. Nothin;.: b t work, persistent, energetic,
efficient work and capital will build up the Ter
ritory.
The most promising avenue through which to bring
population to Alaska in large nil in In rs ill the 1m
UMtdiate tutore is that which is offered by the timber
cf"iSo 11 til eastern Alaska. ll the Governmnet, acting
through the Department of Agriculture and the Kor
c.stiy Bureau, cun dei anything to hasten the estab
lishment of pulp and paper mills in Southeastern
Alaska they can etc more to cause the increase of the
population i f Alaska, to add to its prosperity, its use
to the Nation and tin pi pie of the country, than
they can do in any other way.
THE MINNESOTA ELECTION.
The dcecis've dr! .it of the Republican Party In
the Minnesota Senatorial election will not he with
out it* influence in National politics. The statement
cf Chairman Chat! s R. Adam- of the Minnesota
Republican rita' Committee, that the defeat was duo
to discontent with conditions as they are and n
disposition to hold the party In power responsible
for the c.ndltio i , is doubtie? ihe correct interpreta
tion cf tile iemit. It would indicate that the re
action, which first appeared in the elections last fall,
■which showed a-,tin in the municipal elections in
Chicago Baltitnon Denver and other cities and in the
Mid-Western Congressional by-electlono earlier this
year, has not spent its force.
Since the Pr i dent la I election in lot'll t he Re
publican! have bum wholly or partially defeated in
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York. New Jer
sey, Itelawat ■. Ohio. Indiana. Michigan. W est Vir
ginia, Mat yland. Tt nm sc \I luouri, Minnesota. Ne
br-tka. Kan a-. Oklahoma, Montana, Colorado, Now
Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming. Nevada, Washington and
Oregon, and the insurgent clement of the party has
won victories in Republican primaries in Wisconsin,
Iowa. Ni hratka. X rih Dale a and South Dakota.
President Harding carried all of these Stales.
However, their is a long time between the piesent
end the la:M election.--, and things change quickly in
there modern da>n. The Harding Administration is
going stronger. It has thiown overboard a lot of
the elements which have served to disorganize and
make the adoption of a positive policy difficult.
Time flic-, arid we shall sec what we shall see.
If the Democrats are able to get together and take
a positive po-ition under definite leadership, they may
"in th<4 11 *> election. Bui it must be admitted that
there are wide different is of opinion among them,
too. It is a it tig and apparently impassable way
bttweet. Bryan atui Smith, for instance.
Hey wood Broun, who ,i\t it and reported it. says
the Dcmpm y-Gibbons fight at Shelby, cost the people
of Shelby and Great Ki lls a kiss of more than $.100,
000. He adds'this was made worse by the knocking!
visitors, including newspapers reporters, have done!
against the Montana towns. Then lie piles insult on
ltijuYy by saying the knocking wap deserved.
THE MANUFACTURE OF MARKS.
The last week in June Germany put out two
trillion muik sin- w„h printing them at the rate
«.f 360,000,000,000 a day. The largest denominations'
btlng printed or geni ral circulation were th 100,000
maik bill. Plan* are under way to increase the
denomination? to 500,000 and 1,000,000 marks. When
that shall have hi n dour the printing offic. s will be
able to turn the marks out fatter. The official ratio
in value between the paper mark and the gold mark
was 35,000 to 1. One dollar was officially declared
to bo werht 160,000 marks.
They have figured it. cut in Germany that the
printing of marks cost 4 0 mark,, for each note printed.
Tptat fg, ofto. reason Toy printing them in large de
nfamlhiflons. ,;T#cy have to In order to get the cost of
■produc;ivH out of them White paper and labor must
be paid for.
In Httfrta the> permit the printer to print rubies
one hour out ot each seven or his own pay. it is
said there is no cigarette smoking, or oilier diver
sions that delay operations, during that hour.
MAYORS WANT TO BE GOVERNOR.
Four Democratic Mayors of the State of Washing
ton are sparring for their party’s nomination for
Governor next year. They are Mayor Kdwin J
Brown of Seattle. Mayor Charles Fleming of Spo
kane, Mayor K. T. Mathes of Bellingham and Mayor
Ben Hill of Walla Walla. While Washington is a
strong Republican Stajte it is pointed out by the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer that in nine elections for
the Governorship of that State four of them were
carried bv the Democrats and five by the Republicans.
It reckons that the ambition for the Democratic
nomination, therefore, Is one not without hope of
further reward.

Canada Honors Banting.
(New York World.)
The Canadian Itjotise of Commons is about to
tote $7,500 a year for the rest of his life to Dr. F. G.
Banting, who discovered the insulin treatment for
diabetes. Dr. Banting is thus to be freed to devote
the rest of his already peculiarly useful life to 'medical
research.
What makes this act important is not wholly the
freedom it confers upon Dr. Banting. To a man of
ills demonstrated genius the laboratories of the world
would he open anyway. The act of the Canadian
Government is important because it shows that a
democracy, very much like our own, having no till os
!01 orders to confer, can yet publicly recognize a great
j civilian, non-political service.
Scientists are often lonely men. Most of their
work is incomprehensible lo tlie people who will in
the end most benefit by it. They achieve few of the
ordinary rewards of success. All the more reason
why on occasion a people through its Government
should prove in some striking and tangible way that,
it understands the overwhelming importance of scien
tific research. Our State Legislatures might well
profit by Canada's example.
Hose ball Science.
(Nf\v York Herald.)
Not since the Pleistocene age of major-league
•baseball lias scientific play been at to low an ebb as
it ir at pro nt. For this the public itself, and not
j t fie game, is responsible. This is an era of power,
and the lethal punch it much more in demand than
j the subtle, malty maneuver. As a result, in the
desire for home runs major league teams have thrown
i'Cience and cunning to the winds and have entered
•into a competition of slugging. Base stealing, the sae
| rlllc game, the sqii-txc. tlie hunt and run all have
been neglected in favor of crashing tactics, and the
j game has suffered.
According to the most rreent statistics 260 home
runs have been hit in the National and American
Leagues thus far this season. Ten years ago in the
I American League only 1:{8 home runs were hit during
! the entire campaign. To date this year 100 four
i hare hits have been made in that organization, and
jibe season is only one third over. The hard hitting
! lias been helped greatly by the introduction in the
last two years of what is known as the lively ball.
| This has made clean, sharp fielding the exception
rather than the rule, ami altogether has brought
jalKiut a degeneration of the game.
! At the close ( f the 1013 season there were cnly 24
j 300 hitters in tho National League and just 16 in
I the American League. This morning there are 32
| im n in that charmed circle in the American League
] and no fewer than 57 in the National League. Pitch
jirs have a hard time controlling the lively ball, and
j s hut-outs are as scarce as eggs of the great auk.
Low-hit gumes have become almost obsolete.
However, the public will tire of this carnival
jii slugging and before another season will be anxious
I"’ see the clubs return to science. The trend toward
flmt demand already is strong.
Issue for 1921.
(New York Mail.)
\Vhut is to tie the dominant issue in 1924 ? The
I World Court? The liquor law? Government owner
ship and cpetation of railroads and coal mines? Never
lias the world moved in such baffling and swirling
wavs a? It in doing today, and a it will continue to
do for some time to come. The newspapers talk of
jine issue today and of another issue tomorrow,
i This much is clear the Issue that Is dominant today
is not likely to he tin issue on which the Presidential
election will run. This world is moving too fast for

If It Fits—
One of the Beasfms why a man
quits putttlng hTs arms around his
wife’s w-aist after they have been
married five or Six years is because
his arms don't grow longer as her
waist grows in circumference.
When a wmnfett says she is llie
slave of her husband she may get
another woman to believe her, but
she never can get u married man
to believe anything like that.
The laundry may be hard on the
