NEW NATIONALISM IS A MEN
ACE TO PROGRESS.
The battle for progressive gov
ernment in the United States
must not be fought under the
banner of New Nationalism. It
must be waged for government
by the masses. Those matters
requiring governmental control
must be brought close to the peo
ple, and not he removed far from
them, and placed in the hands of
alien bureaus and special atl
ents. The powers of government
must be distributed more gener
ally rather than be more restrict
ed. Those that are lighting for
more direct legislation are serv
ing the cause of progress, but
those that are battling for na
tional control of everything are
reactionary. If the public good
requires public ownership and
operation of any public utility, let
I lie ownership and control rest in
the corporation within the lim
its of which the people most con
cerned reside and exercise their
citizenship. Any other policy
leads away from self-government,
and toward bureaucracy. If the
statesmen of great ability would
give more attention to municipal
and state matters it would count
wonderfully in the struggle for
progress in government.—Juneau

FIGHTING WINDMILLS.
Cervantes undertook to teach
the world no more useful lesson
than in the incident of Don Quix
ote’s assault oil the windmills.
Most of us light windmills.
Many men ami women go
through life doing nothing else
hut*conjuring up vain dangers,
and al lacking imaginary ene
mies. They ipiurrel wilh the
government and seem lo regard
it as an agency designed lo op
press them. They become sus
picious of their friends. Society
is in a conspiracy against them.
They brood over the inuumbera
blc dangers which beset them.
They make speeches to themsel
ves urging the justice of I heir
views. They come upon imagin
ary crises and engage in imag
inary bailies.
They are lighting windmills.
They dream out a thousand
misfortunes which are about to
befall them; the loss of what
they have: impecuiosity and help
lessness in old age; the alienation
of highly prized affections; the
falling away id' old friendship;
the breaking of home lies and the
■scattering of the home hrood;
the closing out of all of the light
and laughter of the hearthstone,
and t he coming of the deep shad
ows to submerge and swallow
(hem.
\\ imlmills, windmills!
They read sinister meanings
in the slight and often thought
less sayings of their fellows; I hey
see no beauty in the doings and
achievements of the day; the
music has no melody in'il; liter
ature has heeomel putrid; I he
stage is a flabby degenerate; art,
in all of ils phases, is a lteshy
jumble of meaningless mockeries,
and everywhere is the tail of the
■serpent, and the bent and pur
pose to soil and to tear down,
and to leave them nothing of the
form and substance of the good
and I he beauties they have known.
Windmills!
What we need for most of the
fears which perplex and trouble
us is a straight, frank and fair
look at the world and the people
who inhabit it, for it is a beauti
ful world, tilled with good peo
ple, and the good and the beauty
of it all is for those who search
it out_Seattle Sun.
A meeting of the Valdez Civic
Improvement League will be held
in the City Hall next Saturday
afternoon al 2:30 o’clock. A full
attendance of members is re
quested.

FEASIBLE ROUTE
Will -Provide, a Short Workable
Line to the Rich Susitna
Valley.
Lmle mining in the interior of
Alaska lias made slow progress,
which is not especially surpris
ing when account is taken of the
lack of transportation and other
difficulties incident to pioneer
work. Just what these are, and
how they are being overcome,
may be judged from the account
of the Willow Creek district, writ
ten by Mr. Sumner S. Smith.
Well informed Alaskans look up
on this as one of the most prom
ising areas for lode development
in the north. It is a region in
which the great mass of quartz
diorilo cuts through the later
sedimcntaries, and, as suggested
by experience in California and
Southeastern Alaska, the condi
tions are especially favorable for
development of large ore1 bodies.
Se far only the small high-grade
veins have attracted attention.
It is ,to lie hoped that with im
proved conditions mining on a
larger scale may prove possible.
One announcement of the sum
mer bears upon this directly. It
will he remembered that the
Alaska Central railroad extend
ing northward from Seward to
Turnagain Arm is hampered by
heavy grades and curvature which
have been recognized as a ser
ious obstacle to converting it in
to (he proposed trunk line to the
interior. When it was built, the
advantage of Seward as a harbor
and lownsite and the supposed
prohibitive cost of tunneling at
Portage pass, influenced the lo
cation of the line. Re-examina
tion of the pass this summer has
shown that it affords a feasible
route for a railway, and that a
much shorter tunnel than was an
ticipated is all that will be nec
essary. Details Of the survey
have not been published, but it is
known that an entirely new face
is pul upon the matter and that,
a short workable line to the Su
silna valley is possible. Senti
ment in favor of government
building of Alaskan railways
seems to be consolidating rapid
ly, and when congress can be in
duced In act. a large and valuable
country will be opened to min
ing.— Mining and Scientific Press.

Attacking Conservation.
United Stales Senator Meyers,
of Montana, has made a Hank at
tack on the national conserva
tion principle by- urging a hill in
Congress to sell or lease public
coal lands in his stale to a rail
road company. The railroad
could buy the coal of the United
Slates under the existing conser
vation policy which Senator Mey
ers and some of his colleagues
want to overthrow.
The Montana senator will hear
watching for he is the proponent
of a scheme to sell part of the
Yellowstone park to a mining
company, lie may he considered
the advance guard of those
would-be invaders of the public
domain who have, or expect to
have, constitutional doubts as to
“conservation.” They would re
mand the protection and conser
vation of natural resources on
public lands to the states in
which., they are, and'.yyd1 can all
gues&what would happtyi, then.
Mr, Roosevelt and Mr. Pinchot
jyent to cine extreme on the con
servaation question. Senator
Meyers proposes to go to the oth
,er. Secretary Lane, of the Inter
ior Department, is urging a pol
icy which proposes a happy med
ium for the development of our
resources without their exploita
tion. _ Tint issue iw still a very
