road building on a rather extensive
scale, it is showing a disposition t>
quit with its job uncompleted.
The government should never have
appropriated a dollar for building iad
roads in Alaska, but having driven
out the private citizens who had be
gun the work, and taken over con
struction itself, it should finish the
job. And when it has finished it if
should quit and give the people a
•hance to build up the ten itory. The
M7.OOW.000 appropriation should pass.
If the government had permitted
Alaska to develop freely as the rest
>f the country has developed the pop
datiou of the territory would have
been three times what it is now and
it would have railroads to give tie*
service immediately demanded.
Under private initative railroads
built are likely to get a reasonable
traffic in the immediate future. The
roads arc built only to accomodate the
early traffic, extentions and better
ments being made as demanded. It is
said that the government >o far as it
has gone has built better than private
owners would have built at first, but
it has not finished the job. It should
finish it and then put up the roads at
auction, take it at a loss and get off
the lid.
The Alaskan people do r.ot like gov
ernment railroad management any
better than the rest of us. In fact,
they hate government management of
most things. They are sick and tired
of the whole government “regulation,"
which is depopulating the territory
and preventing its development.'— San
Francisco Chronicle.

his return from a six weeks’ visit to
European battlefields. Representative
Purnell of Indiana returned with him.
Mr. King was nursing his left wri*t
which was injured at lire t, when a
Rolshevik* hiding behind a hedge
throw stones at the American congro -
me n and the American flag on thei
machine.
‘•Franco- with the exception of of
ficialdom* doe not appreciate wh.d
we did for them*” said Mr. King. ”Tlie
feeling towards us is not kindly. W»»
hav worn out our welcome* and the
French people are glad to see us g *.

when an outsider interfers in a fnmi'v

“Our hoys are unanimous in thei.

America soon- we’ll turn 1’olsheviki.
When we reached Coblenz it scone '
ns though the entire army of occupa
tion dashed up with ‘when are we go
ing home?’
“Although American soldiers are
not pcimittcd founally to fraternize
with the Germans* the sight of a
doughboy with a f raid in is a com
mon one- and 200 rupiosts have been
received from soldiers who desire to
bring home- Gorman wives.”
Regarding sentiment for the League
of Nations- Mr. King said:
Shrug Their Shoulders.
“The great mass of people in
France, while not actively op'posed to
a League of nations* treat the idea
indifferently and as l topian theory.
They doubt if the League will he car
ried on in the interest of the eommo \
people* if it is organized. When you
mention the League to a I* ronchman
he shrugs his shoulders/’
Mr. King said ho was convinced tin
United States should keep out of Eur
opean affairs.
“Wo should withdraw our forces
from Europe as rapidly as possible*
and we carefully should avoid any do
tation as to how these peoples in Eu
one shall live. Let us devote our at
tention now to our national affairs.
