NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 14, 1917.
The bone dry law for Alaska Is gvod
in at least one respect; it doe3 not
piovide for smashing the furniture
and plate glass mirrors. Mahogany
and looking glasses are too preci tus
in this section to be destroyed. They
may come in handy after a while for
something.
It is now announced that Colonel
Roosevelt has changed his mind and
is not going to the Fiji islands after
all. He determined that he and Mrs.
Roosevelt could not get away long
enough. Three months was all they
could spare Just now and that did not
suit him. Bo he is going to put it
ott for a year or so and then make
a more extended trip. By that time
he may have plenty to do and of a
v«iy serious nature. We are either
coming nearer to war or nearer to
peace all the time and the colonel
tr'ght be needed in each instance.
To most Americans It will come as
a shock to learn that our own trade
with the Bhillipines is largely de
pendent upon British coaling stations.
Now that Lngland needs ull her own
ft el, it was decreed that Independent
dli pping will hereatfer get none. Here
in another example of the shifiless
work of our government. Congress
haggles for months over pork-barrel
appropriations and neglects a primary
business proposition such as coaling
stations for our own ships. What
would be said of a railroad that fore
el or kept its fuel supply in the hands
of n competitor who might stop the
supply any day it 3aw lit to do so?
But our governmnt affairs being con
ducted primarily on a partUan politi
cal basis are letf in a slovenly condi
tion. Since the United Slates mines
far more coal than any other nation,
lf would appear to be elemental that
it should furnish all the coaling sta
tions facilities which could be needed
foi our own U3e.
The troubles of the federal farm
lorn board are about to begin. It is
cfTlcially made known that more than
flMy thousand farmers huve applied
for mortgage loans under the faun
loi n act, to an aggregate amount of
one hundred and fifty million dollars.
The rural credits legislation was
widely advertised during the cam
pa gn by democratic spellbinders. The
ocministration claiming credit for the
b. nevolent arrangement wa3 favo-ed
by an overwhelming vote In most cf
the agricultural states, west and
s< uth, and now qutie naturally, the
vo’ets ure ready for the promised
money.
They will not get It right away.
The government land banks which
are to act as money selves have not
bicn set up yet. Some of the fifty
tl cusand—and there may be fifty
tl f usund more in a short time-—will
never got it. The govenrment in the
ro'e of Lady Bountiful will not be «o
easy ns the stump speech assurances
itiggested. And there may be certain
pulnm'i. rles—because of the govern
ment vny of doing business, theie
preliminaries are apt to resemble r«d
tape. I ne ft.mi loan act does not
omit to provide pteaty «C It. Xi»»
eager applicant will not walk Into
tne ni Arest li beral bank, ask for the
money ,^.d pe. it with the case end
grace w'tl. > b.ch he would negotiate
a case o' coal oil. Some of the fifty
thousand, very likely, who have ap
plied thus early have a feeling that
a postal card, or a telephone call, will
bring the wanted funds. They will
smely be dtlUi s'coad.
Fifty thousand would-be borrowers
olrea t>- -one ut cd a .d fifty mil
lions wanted right away an average
of three thousand to each one, a mere
tiifle for the government to hand out.
fnfortunately, the authorized capital
of each of the federal land bnnka
when ready for business will be only
.htec quaters of a million—nine mil
lions for the twelve Institutions pro
vided by the act. Thu application for
loans, before the dors are open, thus
aggregates seventeen times the loan
ing fund.
The public has heard much of An
d’ew Carnegie's determination to die
pi or and of his declaration that dy
ing rich is a disgrace, but it hears
little of his progrss In the task of
deposing of his own enormous for
tune. B. C. Fortes, in Leslie's Weekly,
hrs taken the trouble to check up
Mr. Carnegie's activities and finds that
he has made such substantial progress
that less than thirty millions remain.
Ao Mr. Carnegie is now 81 years old,
he may have to speed up some to
c mplete the work.
The original capitalization was
three hundred millions in bonds re
ceived at the time Mr. Morgan's steel
corporation grouped various large steel
interests in one concern and the In
come has greatly swelled the origin'll
figures. All told approximately three
hundred and twenty five millions
have been distributed in a great varie
ty of benefactions.
Of the total, sixty millions has
bicn distribtued for twenty five hun
died library buildings; colleges have
rereived seventeen millions; the ad
vancement of teaching hus absorbed
sixteen million; the Carniege ins'l'u
tion of Washington twenty two, nnd
thr Institute of Technology ten mil
lions. The hero fund has absorbed
ter. millions and the cause of inter
national peace has been endowed to
the extent of ten millions. Steel
workers' pensions have required four
millions, two millions have been given
the church peace union and a mil
lion and a half for the building of the
Hague peace palace.
In an active business life extending
orer forty years Mr. Carnegie gave
h1-' whole energy to the accumulation
of fortune, and since his retirement
ho has been almost as busy in giving
It away.
