C7LEMKNCEAU COMBS TO AUGUR.
(From New York World.)
M. t'lemenceaa need have no doubts as to the warmth ©t kts welcome
to the United States. It will be a welcome to a very attractive human
being, worldly wise, cynical and witty, who at his best, in the dark days
of 1918. was the most exhiiirattag personality in Europe, and at his worst.
In the dark days of the Peace Conference, was at least never solemn and
mnctous.
He comes now to argue with us against the charge that France is
Imperialist and militarist. He will argue well', for he wields a rapier as
well as an axe. He will not have to approach us through the screen of
nn interpreter, for Clemenceau, unlike most French statesmen, is at. ease.
In the English language.
But whether he is at ease among American definitions of words we
are not so sure. And that is where he is in danger of frittering away his
mission. If, for example, he comes to tell us that Frenchmen hate war
and that therefore the French Government is not militarist, he will make
nc lasting impression on American opinion.
For* we read the FrenWk reply td the League of Nations inquiry about
disarmament and we learn that France has now an army of 690,000 men.
This army is not itself' a proof of militarism. For militarism, as we
Americans understand the word, is not measured wholly by the size of an
^trmy but by its purpose.
Now the purpose of this army, the largest in. the world today, is,
according to the statement of the French Government, not only to protect
France but to stabilize the whole of Europe. The French claim is that
the stability of Europe depends not upon trade, reciprocal advantages
and understandings, but upon military force. This belief is militarism.
It remains militarism even if the French were right in saying that their
army is necessary to peace. For a peace resting on military force is a
militarist peace and in the opinion of most Americans cannot endure.
ONE OF THK \ECEH8ITIE8 FOR DEVELOPMENT
Gen.’ Richardson, who recently spent several weeks in Alaska, as
the representative of the Interior Department, declares that the “special
problem” of the government “is development of tonnage for the railroad.”
That problem should have been worked out several years ago when the
Democrats were still in office, and before the railroad was completed.
But is wasn’t and now it is high time for the Republicans to get busy
with some concrete plan. The first step will undoubtedly be to encour
age development of the Territorial resources. And that will first mean
cheaper freight rates for Interior points as well as to all sections of
Alaska. It will be the big task of Delegate Sutherland to awaken the
Interior Department to this great necessity, even tho it may have to be
brought about thru Congressional investigation and action.—Exchange.
TIME TO CUT OUT THE JKLLYKI8HK8.
William Dudley Foulke, of Richmond, acting president of the Na
tional Civil Service Reeform League, is peeved at Postmaster General
Work because, Foulke says. Work appoints a Republican as postmaster
every time. Of course, he does, for he’s a real Republican and a regular
guy. What we need is more partisans like Work and fewer mugwumps
like Foulke and the men of his type who are so prominent in disfavor In
the First Division of Alaska. If officials, appointed by a Republican
national administration, acted like men of courage and not like jelly
fishes, they wouldn’t be the laughing stock of their own party as well
as the Democrats. This section of Alaska is a notable example, and it
-would be far better to have the old Democratic Organization gang holding
the Presidential appointments outright, rather than to have the gang
controlling most of the Republican appointees and dictating the distribu
tion of their patronage. It is indeed a sorry state of affairs.—Juneau
Sunday Capital. <
The Ketchikan Chronicle claims, and no dsub% rightfully 00* that it
ft handling the largest printing contract ever taken care of in Alaska. It
la printing over a million can labels for two cannery companies, one from
Ketchikan and- the other from Seattle. If the cannery companies gen
erally weald realise the Importance of haying Alaska fishermen, printers,
and other workmen In the north, employed to a greater extent, the Terri
tory would be benefltted to a very material extent and the eannerymen
would be la much greater favor.'
The new tariff imposes a duty of 53 cents a ton on coal. That will
be a little tough on Alaska consumers until we get to that stage when
Alaska can mine and supply the local demand. With the wealth of fuel
that we are supposed to have there does not seem to be any good reason
why Alaska consumers should not be supplied with fuel at a reasonable
price and from Alaska mines.
BUREAU PLANS TU
IMPROVE METHOD OF
REINDEER BREEDING
The growing reindeer industry of
Alaska offers great possibilities in
meat production. Heretofore, no
effort has been made to improve
the reindeer herds. The establish
ment of a standard of excellence for
use as a guide in breeding and grow
ing reindeer is now under consider
ation by the Bureau of Biological
Survey and the Bureau of Animal
Industry in the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
Representatives of the two Bur
eaus held conferences in September
to establish tentative standards of
weight, girth, conformation, quality,
type, color, and other points affect
ing the production and market
value of reindeer meat. It is be
lieved that such a standard which
reindeer breeders may use for the
improvement of their herds will be
of much value, especially in the ab
srnce of registry associations and
limited opportunities for livestock
shows, demonstrations and judging
contents.
In the opinion of experts in the
Bureau of Biological Survey, it will
be possible to add 200 pounds to
the weight of the average reindeer
by" the careful selection of breeding
stock. In this connection, the Bur
eau of Animal Industry, which has
had experience in grading up many
kinds of domestic animals, has sug
gested the desirability of establish
ing a standard of excellence and Is
cc-operating In the work. Persons
familiar with reindeer breeding or
interested in the industry are invit
ed to express their views toward
developing this new and promising
field. Communications may be ad
dressed to the Chief of the Bureau
of Biological Survey at Washington,
D. C.. or to Mr. L. J: Palmer, in
charge Keindeer Experiment Sta
tion. Nome. Alaska.

There are many well-advertised
kidney remedies on the market today,
but none so well-recommended in
this locality as Doan's Kidney Pills.
Read the following.
Mrs. E. C. Siddons, 108-17th St.,
Oregon City, Ore., says: “I am glad
to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills *
lo* I know they can’t be beat for
kidney complaint. My kidneys were j
weak and if I overworked or took i
cold it settled on my kidneys and I j
had severe backaches. 1 1 could' i
hardly do my work and my kidneys
didn’t aet right. I tasgd Doan’s Mid
they were Just what I needed. Hhey;
soon rid me of the backaches and .
other* signs of kidney complitnt.”
