ALASKA PADLOCKED?
In the year 1906 a most eminent statesman made an
order whereby coal and oil lands in Alaska were with
drawn from location and entry. In the year 1910, learned
and distinguished Senators, being of the opinion Pres
ident Roosevelt had no authority to issue the order of
1906, assailed on the floor of the Senate such executive
order, and such was the sentiment of Congress, a law
was passed making valid without question such with
drawal and ratifying and confirming the act.
The Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, presumably con
cerning certain coal areas in the Bering River Fields, in
volved and probably resulted in the appointment to the
Supreme Bench the counsel for the conservation inter
ests, caused the resignation of as fine a man as ever held
office under any president, and locked up the resources
of the Territory of Alaska.
In the year 1920 an oil leasing act was adopted. Many
permits were issued under the terms of the act as apply
ing to Alaska. We are now confronted with an order re
lative to issuance of and the extension of time concern
ing further oil permits.
Does this mean a renewal of conservation as applied
to Alaska? It is possible the order applies only to govern
mental reserves. On the other hand so little of the public
domain situate in Alaska has passed into private owner
ship, it may be well inferred another period of stagna
tion and strangulation of oil resources in Alaska has
been initiated.
In the recent enactment of Congress creating a 10th
judicial circuit, Porto Rico is mentioned, as is also Hawaii,
Alaska is unanimously discarded or forgotten. Possibly
the same delightful lack of memory applies to the recent
oil permit order and we are not “in it.”
We always thought there was something fishy about
the league of nations. Now they desire to protect whales.
Having found a wav to escape alive from a submar
ine, the inventor now has our permission to devise a safe
means of exit from bureaucratic control.

MRS. "MA” KENNEDY DENIES
CHARGES MADE AGAINST
HER BY REVEREND
REATTT .e. Anril 12, (/P)—Mrs.
Minnie Kennedy, mother of Aimee
Semple McPherson and more pop
ularly known as “Ma” Kennedy
who was sued the other day for
$50,000 for breach of promise to
marry the Rev. H. H. Clark, a mid
dle aged Seattle widower who is a
clergyman of the Christian de
nomination, based his charges that
by promising to set him up with
a tabernacle in Seattle and a gos
pel ship to be used in missionary
work in Alaska and on the Pacific
coast and by further promises of
marriage the celebrated woman
evangelist persuaded the minister
to enter repeatedly into highly
compromising situations with her.
By reason of these compromising
situations Rev. Clark alleges he is
“heart broken, humiliated, pre
vented from carrying on his religi
ous
work, shamed, dishonored, ]
i broken in health and prevented
I from remarrying”. The complaint
jstes forth how Mrs. Kennedy lured
Rev. Clark to an apartment in a
i hotel where the exchanged be
itrothal vows.
* Some of the charges set forth
are too intimate for publication.
Informed of the suit, Mrs. Ken
nedy replied that Rev. Clark is one
degree lower than a snake and
then some. She denied the charges
he vever.

his fill of her. Meanwhile the wife steps out
with the flapper’s sweetheart.
SURPRISES — THRILLS LAUGHTER
Does a man love his wife in proportion to the
degree other men desire her? Why do married
men go after strange flappers when they have
a perfectly good woman of their owm? Why do
girls like "experience” in men, and men like
"inexperience” in girls?
