Congress is not likely to pass any
such hill as that of Representative
Campbell of Kansas- which would pro
hibit the president of the United Stut
e> from leaving the country or exer
cising the functions of his office out
side the nation's borders. Mr. (amp*
bell is one of those who think Presi
dent Wilson made a serious mistake
in attending the Paris peace conferen
ce and per>onally participating in the
prolonged negotiations.
The question is debatable. It ’s
quite possible to hold that if the Presi
dent had sent a strong delegation to
Paris and had. himself remained it
hem. content to direct matters and is
sue instinct ions from a distance- his
moral authority and prestige would
have been more effective and n\o*v of
hi> fourteen points would have graced
the treaty than he succeeded in get
ting inserted by contending against o.
bargaining with Kuropean diploma*.'
at close quarters. However* it does not
follow by any means that a sta* to
preventing every future president of
the Knited States from leaving tie*
country during his term of service
would be wise or even safe.
Phe presence ot the president abroad
ma> at times be an imperative necev

cither of them, should have to tigh*
for America on foreign M>il or in foi*
cign waters situations conceivably
might aiise that would demand the
direct personal intervention of the
commander in chief on the scene of
critical operations. Even if this con
sideration be waived* the idea of re
st lifting the freedom of the chief exe
cutive of the United States must seem
antiquated and gratuitous to Amer
icans who are aware of the republic*

and duties.
It may be added that a statue of
the sort proposed by Mr. Campbell un
doubtedly would be held unconstitu
tional by the federal courts. Congress
cannot shackle and dictate to the co

I.l KK OF ALASKA
Alaska is calling to many of the re
turning soldiers, both because the ar
my life has given them a desire to re
main in the open and because the far
Northwest offers chances for employ
ment with the glamor of suddenly
made fortunes that still attaches \o
:he prestige gained by Klondike*
Some and Fairbanks’ palmy days,
"laim is made* probably with justifi
•ation* that many districts of Alaska
•emain to pour forth fortunes at the
lidding of the hardy prospectoi S
abor.
Secretary Lane is said to have re
vived thousands of letters from sol*
liers regarding employment in A’ae
;a- especially on the railread which
he government is building* and for
he completion of which he recently
isked congress to appropriate $13*r>00*
H)0 Many of the applicants see in the
ail road employment an opportunity to
‘grubstake” the Valves for months in
uhsequent p rospecti ng.
The department of the interior* in
Inswer to most of the inquiries* 1m*
•cplied that the government does not
lav transportation to Alaska for rail
■oad employing labor already then'
irforc encouraging or asking for labo**
,o be imported. Still the opportunity
’or employment exists if a man goes
here is capable and willing to take
ii> chances. It would be well for those
vhose eyes have turned toward Alaska
;o have in view other opportunities
nil be prepared to safeguard themsel
ves against disappointment through
iot receiving remunerative employ
ment on the railroad.
The government road, when com
pleted will extend from Seward to
Fairbanks* an estimated 400 miles to
:he northward. The road has been
'ompleted from Seward to a distance
iorth of 230 miles and from Fairbanks
;outh for about forty-seven miles,
eaving only 123 miles of construction
svork to be done. But a number of
tranches are proposed* one of 38 miles
:o the Matanuska coal fields being al
ready completed.
Estimate of the original cost for
:he work fixed $35 000,000 as the sum
required • but wartime increase in the
•ost of material and labor has swelled
:hat estimate by $9 $00*000. — Idaho

Alaska needs a sanitary commission
appointed whose duties would be to
examine shipments of canned good*
coming from the States to Alaska. In*
conceivable as it may appear* there an
many firms in the States which make
a business of unloading spoiled or old
canned goods on the Alaska trade.
During the past few months an epi
demic of deaths has occurred in the
Northland from eating this aged and
stale food. It is had to eat such stuff
in the States* where a physician is in
stantly available* but it is criminal to
ship it to Alaska* where the sick man
may lx* a hundred miles from medical
treatment and have no idea what to do
for Ptomaine poisoniong.
Several years ago a Seattle whole
saler was relabeling a shipment of
canned goods destined for Alaska.
Many instances in Valdez have oc
curred where cans of meats have been
opened and the contents found to be
a small* hard lump of mouldy refuse.
A storekeeper here recently opened a
number of cans of shrimp and found
them all spoiled. Wefe these good*
inspected* or could there be a law
passed compelling canners to label the
date of the pack* much of the danger
of ptomaine germs would be elimi
nated. The merchants are helpless,
as the cans arrived in Alaska with
nice* fresh labels on them; but the
contents show they have been canned
for years.
The recent deaths of twelve men
at Hunker creek from eating cann 1
foods show that the danger is real. A
wholesaler ships old stuff under a
new label is as guilty of murder as ' f
he hod taken a gun and shot his vic
tims.
Alaska should refuse to he the
dumping ground for spoiled food.—
Valdez Miner.

* VALUABLES ARE FOUND
* IN SHELL TORN AREA
* OF FRENCH BATTLE FIELD *
********************
PARIS* July *°»1— American troops
who have been working in the shell
torn areas of France have been recov
ering many valuables of various sorts
buried in the i*uins. All these finds
are turned over to the French Ministrv
of Finance which is endeavoring to
discover the original owners of their
heirs. All unclaimed treasurers go
to the state.
Members of the American Second
Army Corps recently unearthed at
Avoucourt a large number of French
and Russian railway bonds which had
lain in the cellar of a demolished home
since the Germans first invaded the
sector. The bonds were all in good
condition and bore coupons which had
not been clipped since July, 1014.
Whether the owner is dead or alive
will be determined by the Ministry of
Finance.
Among the valuables recovered are
many belonging to ruined churches.
Not infrequently when several church
es in a town have been destroyed and
each of them has lost similar treasur
ers it is impossible to say who is the
owner of the wealth recovered. In this
case it is divided among them.

r pastoral life, ploughing with wooden

today in Sardinia- according to Dr. A -

the trade possibilities of it.
“Sardinians present a living pictiu*4

stereotyped and handed down from an
tiquity” said Dr. Dennis to the Asso
ciated Press correspondent. “Water
wheels with earthen*buckets- wooden
ploughs drawn by oxen. the scythe ana
