United Staten Senator Harry New
of Indiana has introduced a bill ii:
the Senate which, if passed, will
-consolidate ail Alaskan affairs ami
place them under the department
■of the interior. New's bill supplant
the C.ummings bill which took th^
place of the Curry bill which sup
erceded other bills and so on all
down along the line and finally
bringing up in the house that Jack
From the press extracts given of
Senator New's bill we believe its
passage would go far toward rescu
ing Alaska from the skunk-cabbage
fringed slough of despair in which
she is struggling while her strength
is gradually oozing out. every pore
in her skin being clogged by a loach
labeled “Bureau."
But theer are many who have lost
confidence in bills purporting to ho
for the benefit of Alaska and which
bud for a season but contract San
Jose scale of some other deadly ail
ment before they bring forth, and
nre laid away, adding one more grave
for the congressional mocking bird
to warble sweet requiem o'er.
The Curry hill was for putting all
-guarded bv an inle --department
hoard, which board was tentatively
named by former President Wilson.
Or. rather, the board was named and
a hill was put through recognizing
it. That bill was still born - or wa ;
stilled very young—and another sta
tion was added to the itinerary of the
mocking bird.
Then the Cummings bill was intro
duced. providi*'•• for turning every
thing on land .1 sea In Alaska over
to the president to have and to hold
until death or a change of adminis
tration did them part—and that was
satisfactory. But, perhaps, it was
too satisfactory. Anyway. Senator
New showed up one morning with a
new bill under his arm which pro
vides for turning Alaska, her appur
tenances and hereditaments, over to
the department of the Interior—dis
tinct but scarcely different from the
Cummings bill and the latter w’as,
like Its predecessor, turned over to
the mocking bird—overworked as it
already was.
But will the New bill get any
where? Thirty-eight different Alaska
bureaus have been nursed, cuddled
and fondled at Washington, so long
and there is such an everlasting
throng of god-fathers there that op
position, deepset and tenacious, will
be encountered when an attempt Is
made to remove them—tear them
loose from the parent stems that
have matured them so long and zeal
ously and until they have come to
look upon them as household gods
whose dethronement they will resist
until Old Faithful freezes over.

Al:i ska ns are t.h( most optimistic
people on earth. Otherwise they
would not be h«ye. Hut it is a safe
hot that not one in every dozen be
lieves in his. or her heart, that Sen
ator New’s bill jyill ever be passed
on to President Harding in its pres
ent form for his signature. It mav
be passed in some form but not In
such as will consilidate Alas'-!n mat
ters to the extent provided -'or as it
now stands. It would jeopaidize too
many flowery beds of ease.
Self-government of Alaska and all
within her broad domain is tin- only
satisfactory solution of the problem.
Administrations may come and go
and they will come and go and they
will continue to leave poor, bureau
cursed Alaska in worse condition
than they found her This has been
the case during all the period which

TOLU TO LIVE AI*Alt'r
London,—Unhappy husbands and
wives should be forced to live apart
temporarily, I)r. Helen Doyle, head
of a big Brighton hospital, told I In
British Medical Association, meeting
ut Newcastle recently.
In this manner, added Dr. Boyle,
many marital “grouches” would dis
appear, and divorce lawyers would be
deprived of most of their business..
“Unhappiness is only a disease.”
said Dr. Boyle, who recently return
ed from the United States, where she
Investigated mental cures. “It is not
normal for a man or woman to be un
happy for more than a short time,
and it is the business of doctors to
make that known to everyone. *
“We should have special wards in
onr hospitals for persons seriously af
flicted with unhappiness. They
should have highly trained nurses
who know how to drive away the
blues. Doctors should prescribe tem
porary separations, trips to the
movies, sea voyages—anything to
break up spells of unhappiness.”
’Dr. Boyle gave the medicos an
other thing to think about In her
lecture on unhappiness.
“A patient who Is under weight and
at the same time unhappy cannot be
cured merely by mental treatment or
change in surroundings,” she said
“The first task should be to bring him
back to normal weight, then their
mental treatment becomes easy and
effective."
The Evening News disagrees with
Dr. Boyle’s suggestions for tempor
ary separations, but on purely prac
tical grounds. There is such a
shortage of dwelling houses and
apartments the world over, says the
News, that if husbands and wives
lived apart there wouldn’t be enough
houses to go around.—Exchange.
