CIRCULATION OUARANTEEO TO TIE MOKE THAT
DOUBLE THAT of ANY OTHER ALASKA NEWSPAPER
V
JI NE M 'S OITLOOK NEVER BETTER.
J Linau pc pie liiuti not permit the proposed re
mcval of the Land Office to convince them that it i
the purpose of the Administration to ruin Southeast
tin Alaska generally or Juneau particularly. In tli
flint place it is almoi t certain that Juneau will no
b ■ without a land IToiie for long, if at all, or tha
the removal of more of the government agencies froi
thi: place will occur. The Government lias no quarrt
with Juneau. •
This does not mean that Juneau should not pre
pure to tight for herself and for Southeastern Alaska
Jn doing that she is contending for the general wol
fare. The First Division is the most populous of al
the Judicial Divioni of Alaska and Juneau is a con
vtnimt location for the transaction of public busines
for mere pt pie than any other one town in the Ter
ritory. Because of that there is every reason wh;
the light against the closing of public offices her
will be successful.
The outlook for Juneau was never better than i
i •> at the present time. There is more mining devel
opnunt under way in tills region than lias been th
ease for : veral years, and each year brings us nearc
pulp and paper dev depment Ilian ever. All tiling
considered, mining, fishing, tourists and lumbering
Juneau is ttlll Ihe center of the most importan
industrial region of the Territory. Her people mus
keep n stiff upper 1 i|> and go out for the advantage
to which her superb iecation entitle her. There wa
never greater Inducement than at the present lint
for united action for community development.
ALASKA AND NOT POLITICS THE
• PRESIDENT’S OBJECTIVE.
Prc idtnf Harding wants it distinctly nnderstoo
that his Western trip will not he a political tour bit
that he is ccniing out to the Pacific for the purpos
of visiting Alaska. He wants it designated his "Alask
t'ip" and not a swing around the circle for poiitica
put pc r. It is said tliat is why lie has decided t
make far fewer speeches then others have asked hln
to make.
A Washington newspaper correspondent, writing
of thin phase of the situation, says:
President Hording, himself a newspaper
man, is afraid of the newspapers. That is
the reason he has revamped plans for his
Western trip and intends to make at least
half of it water.
Mr. Harding is not afraid of having the
newspapers carry a complete and faithful
report of what he does, where he goes and
what he says. He wants the country to
know ivbout that, and when he speaks on a
public question, he Is glad to have Ills views
given the widest publicity.
He is aft aid. however, of having the
rtraight news of his trip "interpreted" by
special writers and others, so that the jour
ney will take on a political significance,
which Mr. Harding is determined it shall
not assume.
That is tlie muon lie is going to cut in
half his speaking tour. He will also by this
means cut in hall the number of public
receptions lie must undergo; the number of
crowds he must appear before; the number
of greetings, enthusiastic or otherwise, he will
receive.
Tiic Prc !dent knows that in addition
^t>aight new ,f his trip and speeches,
a great deal would be written about these
otiier features whether he was enthnsiasti
tall> received, whether he was more or less
populuar now than when he look office. He
fears that every time a well-known Itepub
ltcan came down to the train to greet him,
that It would be made a political confer
ence.
lo Mr. Harding, the forthcoming journey
is not "the \Veeiern trip." It is Ihe "Alaskan
n,P R is a but!nr s journey, which he
'"ill t„k( in Ills official capacity, and neither
a pleasure jaunt, nor « political campaign
I'wing. Mr. Harding has repeated that over
and ever, and he is bent on getting the coun
try to understand that he means it.
The speech he regards as the biggest of
he trip will be devoted to Alaskan affairs
It will be delivered on bis return from the
a or.it country, probably at Seattle. The
other speeches will be made for two reasons
—because a President crossing the country
jann.u av;,"J Speech making, and because the

Harding Trip to Alaska.
(Seattle Post-intelligencer.)
Official announcement by Secretary Denby that
President Harding will leave Seattle for Alaska on
July 5. on board of the army transport Henderson,
assures the Presidential trip so far as human agencies
can assure anything.
Scuttle will welcome the President, perhaps on the
national holiday, and bid him good-by with its beat
wishes on the following day.
As the consistent champion of Alaska interests.
Seattle realizes that the Harding visit will call na
tional attention to the Territorial needs, and perhaps
result in great good.
Alaska has long suffered by the neglect of the
i Federal Government, to whom it has looked fer de
velopment of its great resources, largely without
I adequate recognition.
The building of the Fail bank?-Seward railroAl
! was the beginning of national helpfulness. The
5 j railroad lias been constructed. The President will
| drive the golden spike marking its completion. He
' will learn that the line requires feeders, both by
t trail and rail. Contact with Territorial officials and
1 I people will direct the President’s attention to the
^need of a central and unified governmental control,
I a more eneotiraging attitude toward development of
j resources, and to many other suggested reforms.
J The Presidential visit should mark the beginning
"|of progress for the great Territory. There is room
•land there are opportunities in Alaska for thousands
of Amreicans. They need Alaska and Alaska needs
j them. It is Imped that President Harding's visit
■ will result in bringing the two together.
Pinchot Tanjjled by Wife.
(New York World.)
When a Governor’s wife tries to assist her hus
band by answering letters to which ho does not have
to reply, who would expect politicians, and advocates
of Sunday fishing at that, to take advantage?
Gov. Pinchot was interrupted in his studies in
economy. Prohibition enforcement and State reor
ganization this week by discvoering that a letter
written by Mrs. Pinchot possibly has committed him
; to approval of the “unholy" pastime of fishing on
! Sundays.
i The Governor has always admitted he is a fisher
man. In campaign days he said he planned to go
fishing after his four years as Governor. Mrs. Pinchot
l reiterated this statement not long ago when ergani
i z.ation women of the Keystone State charged her
State Council of Republican Women had been formed
i to corral delegates Irom Pennsylvania to the next
1 National Convention.
The organization women declared they were in
| doubt whether the Governor intended to HrIi for fish
or for something else after his four year term.
! This discussion of fishing prompted an inquisitive
| eitiz.cn cf Berks County, in the land of the Penn
sylvania Dutch, to write the Governor asking what
hie thought of Sunday fishing.
The reply came from Mrs. Pinchot. It was writ
hen on her per.-onal stationery and signed by her.
! The Governor, said the letter, was inclined to think
the poor man has as much right to fish on Sundays
as the rich man has to swing golf clubs over a
farhltliable course.
Representative Paris Baches or Berks was asked
by the constituent who received the reply from the
Governor's wife to introduce a bill in the Mouse to
permit Sunday fishing. 11c was given tile letter in
which Kxecutivo apprvoul was implied. When op
position from blue law advocates developed against
the bill, Mr. Baches produced the letter.
Clergymen and politicians, close friends and the
Governor himself have all tried to persuade Baches to
return the letter, but have failed.
The Governor sent lor Baches. When the Repre
sentative refused to surrender the comunication he
j war. told by the State Executive that the letter was
; private correspondence, expressing only t,he personal
views and beliefs cf Mrs. Pinchot.
Baches finally promised the letter would not he
| used in the campaign to secure passage or the Sun
day Fishing Bill; but the cat was out of the bag,
1 for he had shown the letter to many members or the
I House.
Meanwhile, it was said, Mrs. Pinchot virtually
i has abandoned a plan to send a telegram to each
I members of the legislature asking that he support
la bill new under consideration which would
j give equal representation on State committee** to
j men and women.

If It Fits—
One thing every married woman
knows is that a man never v/i 11 love
the girl he marries as long us he
will love himself.
A wife want's a lot oif things, but.
she never -wants you to give her any
hack talk.
lif a girl is pretty she likes to have
you tell her that she is, and if she
is homely she wants you to tell her
that she is—pretty.
Women never have to take a mem
ory course to enable them to remem
ber the slights they have received
Most of the girls are willing to
give up sugar if they can ha.e their
candy.
Hot words and hot water account
for the love of njioist men growing
cold.
There is nothing secret about the
divorce that follows a secret mar
riage. you bet.
Tilings always might be worse. It
is bad, of course, to have the girls
adopting .men's ways and habits, but
we won't tremble for the universe
until the boys go In for dolls anil
powder rags.
At that we doubt if the men would
lrvo the girls as much if they spent
all their time improving their minds
instead of their complexions.
Many a swell party never would hi
given if the neighbors didn’t have a
lot c.f nice things to lend.
