ri.FYn OF MONEY Foil ALASKA
'1 lie government need not excite itself unduly over the
question of providing money for the development of Alaska.
It docs not matter whether congress appropriate*? a dollar.
The cash will be forthcoming for all enterprise's that condi
tion my warrant.
it will Ik* amply sufficient if eongre*ss concerns itself
with the anactment of legislation permitting the develop
ment of the Northland's resources. lust rid ions placed
upon 1in.se who seek to promote tin1 best interests of the
territory are discouraging literal investments.
(\>i. A. C. Swauitz, a construction engineer, who is
familiar with conditions in Alaska, declares lie has received
assurances ‘'from people* whose word cannot be questioned
that £10.Odd.000 is rcad\ for investment in railroad con
struct! ii in Alaska a> soon as the Alatanuska coal is avail
able."
1 hose who are in a position to appreciate the develop
ment certain to follow the opening up of the territory will
not hesitate to expend largely if assured that the govern
ment will promote stable conditions. The prospect of lib
eral returns is sufficient to induce investment.
Completion of the Panama canal and routing to the Pa
cific coast of immigrants on ships plying directly lrom Eu
ropean ports to 11 lost* on this shore, certainly means addi
tional population for Alaska. This condition assures a
labor supply for the development of mines and opening up
of farms.
American railroad builders of this generation are not
afraid to take a chance at possible light returns for a lim
ited period, when the future holds out such certainty ot in
creasingly remunerative business. J’he enormous wealth of
the country gives them command of capital in sufficient
amount to admit if such a course.
It remains, therefore, for the senate and house—acting
with the 'hesident—to inaugurate such a policy as will
stimulate instead of retarding development along sane and
equitable lines. Once the way to achievement lias been
opened, the government need entertain no fears that Amer
ican capital wili shrink from investment. —Seattle Times.
The Marquette (Mich.) court established the contention
that y'ol. I’oopvelt is a temperate man, and the damages
awarded the ex-President cannot take him far from the
straight and narrow path.

EVERY Til AN ’3 HOME
Every man's heme ;> the best old home,
And every man’s wife the sweetest;
Every man's child is the best little
child.
The best behaved and the neatest,
Every man's tuby is better than all
The babies that ever were born—
And just so it's babies and wives and
home-.
Why, let 'em Mow their horn!
Every man's wife makes the finest pre
serves,
Ami every man's wife bakes bread
That beats ail the bread that ever was
made
From llatteras to Stony Head.
Fvery man's home is the place to see
The finest housekeeping on earth —
And just so it’s bread and preserves
and home,
Let 'em keep on with their mirth !
When every man thinks that it is own
home's best.
And bis own wife’s sweetest, why
then
We’ll swing back unto the golden dream
Of a heaven on earth again.
And isn’t it beautiful, fine, and sweet,
That faith of a man in his child,
And his wife and his home and his sim
ple life
That he boasts of undefiled!
When every man’s home is the sweet
est place
On earth for a man to be;
When every man’s wife is the sweetest
wife
In all the world to see;
When every man’s child is the dearest
child
That ever drew breath—ah, then,
Wo shall have better children and
women and homes
And a darned sight better men!
