PROMPT JUSTICE !S DUE ALASKA
Congress is in a fair way to enact
the recommendation of President
Wilson, says the Atlanta Constitution,
looking to cutting the bonds that now
bind Alaska, by providing for a gov
ernment owned trunk line that shall
split the territory.
A bill with that purpose in view
has been approved by a majority of
the territories committee and report
ed back to he House. Along with it
goes a minority report, though it is
signed by but two members.
People living in the states can have
little accurate conception of the man
ner in which the great territory of
Alaska has been penalized by failure
of the united States to outline and
enforce a constructive policy.
The territory’s great wealth of ag
ricultural, timber and mineral resour
ces, not to mention her general in
dustrial and commercial possibilities,
have been held in cold storage so to
speak because of the absolute lack
of transportation.
Arrayed op one s’de have been the
honest, but extreme, conservationists,
afraid that to enact laws, however
stringent, might turn over the ter
ritory to predatory interests. On the
other side have been these same in
terests, operating under cover and
ready to promote any measure look
ing to gobbling up the last remaining
rich portion of the public domain.
fortunately, a more temperate ele
ment seems now to be In the sad
dle. The idea of fthis contingent,
and it is virtually that of the presi
dent, is that the first step toward |
developing Alaska s to build a rail- :
road. Since it is not desirable to J
delegate this costly task and manifest i
leverage for power to private inter- |
ests, it is obvious that the govern- j
ment must underwrite the undertak- '
ing.
Whatever is decided, justice to j
Alaska cannot long be delayed. Once j
the territory is provided with ade
quate transportation facilities, the
quick development of its resources
will soon begin to liquidate any ex
penses to which the government may
have been placed.
What has become of fthe old-time
parent who used to be obliged to
count his fingers before he could tell
how many children he had?
Knee breches for men are bound
to come back, savs the fashion au
thorities. The women have been
wearing them eve. since we can re
member.
That l here are as good fish in the
sea .is were ever caught is mighty
poor consolation to the fellow who
has just lost a four-pound bass or a
125-pound girl.
Prisoners in the Ohio penitentiary
eat their meals to the accompaniment
of orchestra music. This kind of mu
sic is said to go well with boiled
cabbage and fat pork.
When a couple are nawly married,
they feel as if they could devour each
other. After the lapse of a year or
so, they regret that they diu not fol
io wtheir first inclination.
Almost any smart young fellow can
tell the weight of a girl by holding
her on bis lap. A fellow of our ac
quaintance once found out the weight
of the girl’s father on this account.
A minister testified not long since
that he passed sixteen saloons with
in a radius of three blocks In Chicago.
Had he been a sjIIo.- or free lunch
fiend he would have passed none of
them.
The average young lady thinks i!
is perfectly awful If there Isn’t a
bath-tub tn the house. Her mother
used to splash around In the family
wash-tub after the men folks had
gone to bed.
Army guns all over Christendom
will soon be longer of barrel, shoot
straigliter, farther and swifter than
ever before. The old ones shot
straight, swift and far enough here
tofore to suit the man in front of it.
When a man’s wife hoists her skirt
clear to the knees on a rainy day
he caHs her down for being a darh
fool. But he always wonders why
the other women don’t hoist their
skirts a little higher, writes a close
observer.
It is told in history that the maids
at' ancient Shhtta Wore their gowns
slit to the tills. Now you know the
origin of the expression Spartan cour
age—the courage required to peep at
one of those dames when she went
out walking.
That Hoosler governor’s wife is a
peach. In a recent address, made
before the Indiana Democratic Edi
torial Association, she said: "Every
editor likes a woman who can give
him good fried chicken, nice hot bis
cuits Snd peach cobbles.”
Some of the brightest, most piquant
faces we ever beheld were covered
with freckles. One brilliant young
lady whom we knew i nour youth,
and who was a leading belie in an
eastern city for many seasons, Used
to declare that her freckles were a
valuable adjunct to her personal ap
pearance. .and that without them shfe
would be bereft of half her power of
charm. There are -pots oh tbe sun;
why should there not be spdts on
the daughters?
