COMING TO ALASKA
PASSENGER traffic to the different sections of Alaska promis
es to be heavy this summer, according to the transportation
companies. 'I he Alameda, of the Alaska Steamship Com
pany, which arrived last night from Seattle, enroute to the West
ward. carried a full passenger list of which only a small percent
age was of the tourist class. Nearly all the others were bound
for points on the coast and in the interior. Among them were a
number of former Alaskans who had been trying their "luck"
in various Western States, but who were glad to get back to
Alaska. "Alaska is the best country 1 know of," said one of
these. "If a man can't get on in this territory he can't do well
anywhere."
This man had spent the past year in Nevada where he had
been engaged in mining, and while he did not disparage the Sage
brush State, he gleefully admitted that he could do much better
in Alaska, where the opportunities were larger and success more
certain.
^ l- ..1 J
Alaska is tin- laiui 01 opportunity, ine tact snouiu ue n.cjn
uppermost in the minds of all Alaskans. And it should be passed
along to others. There is plenty of room for willing workers in
this territory. The industrious and capable need not fear, but
neither this nor any other country under the sun is a good place
for the incompetent and the shiftless. Alaska's mountain chains
allure the prospector, and the rich placer gold deposits are equal
ly inviting. The sea is full of as good fish as ever were caught;
land tit for agricultural purposes is not wanting; the forests are
extensive: there is abundance of coal?if it could be mined, which
it will be soon?and as for health, one can have it in abundance,
for the climate is conducive to health and long life, and there is
none of that "cribbed, cabined and confined" feeling that is found
in the congested "centers of civilization."
Alaska's population should be 250.000 by the year 1920, for
it cannot be doubted that a new era in the Territory's develop
ment is dawning.
The House committee on the election of President and Vice
President has decided to propose an amendment to the Constitu
tion limiting the tenure of the President to one term. It will
probably recommend that that term shall be extended to six
years. Another amendment should be submitted with that one.
If the President's term is to be six years, that of members of the
House should be three. If these changes were made they would
lessen the frequency of elections and give the people more time
for business. Why not try it?
HUMPHREY DOIXCr A MAN'S WORK
T F REPRESENTATIVE WILL E. HUMPHREY does nothing
1 more than to keep Pinchot so busy that he can't interfere
while Western Senators and Representatives are securing
legislation that will compel some of his bureaus to release
their grasp on the Independence of the West he will have done
something worth while. Pinchot is a menace to Western devel
opment and to self-government.
He. more than any other one man, has been responsible for
the growth of a sentiment in the East that has demanded the
placing of the West into reservations and the government of the
reservations by Eastern-made bureaus and special agents. He.
more than anyone else, inspired Roosevelt's infamous New Na
tionalism. that has caused great alien principalities to be set
apart within Western States and Territories in which there is
not and cannot be any semblance of self-government. These
bureaus?particularly the forestry bureau which was trained by
Pinchot?have succeeded in stretching their authority to such an
extent that it comprehends all the functions of government. Pin
chot has bragged about the manner in which the bureau estab
lished to care for trees has interfered with water rights, graz
ing afFairs and matters of police regulation that concern West
ern communities. He has utilized government resources to
maintain a press bureau for the purpose of developing a senti
ment in the East that will support the high-handed beauracratic
form of government that he and the other New Nationalists have
engrafted on the Nation. He has stood for the government of
the West by the East.
If Representative Humphrey can keep this demagogic Rep
resentative of a class, that would take the authority of govern
ment out of the hands of the people and place it in the hands
of big-stick-armed, hobby-horse cavalry, engaged, while the really
big men of the West regain for the people the right of self-gov
ernment. he will have done one man's work.
Newspaper men have come to recognize that their Western
education is not complete until they visit Alaska. The battle is
half won at least.
They will have to quit charging the antics of The Colonel
to intoxication. He has established his claim to sobriety in a
court of law. Now the. question suggests itself, what is it that
produces the effect ?

"DODIE" CANFIELD TELLS
GOOD HOUN' DA >VG STORY
Here'8 the last story on the "Houn'j
Dawg" song, and it comes to us via
no less distinguished a narrator than
Dodie Canfield, youthful star of the
Juvenile Bostonians, who had the te
merity to sing the dolorous ballad of
the Missouri canine no longer ago than
last June. The why and the where
fore of Miss Can field's daring were
that the place of singing was the Pal
ace of Queen l.iliuokalani, in Hono
lulu. and that she was the very first
singer to introduce the Champ Clark
warsong to the Island region. It
earned a tremendous hit. other of the
I company say. but that is not Miss Can
field's story, which is:
After the well-known air had gone
the rounds for a brief week in the Isl
lands the natives picked it up. The
tune became epidemic in their vil
lages and spread with the rapidity and
persistency of the Manila itch. Any
day. to the plunk-plunk of ukuleles?
queer, guitar-like native Instruments
could be heard a hundred times the
chanted Hawaiian translation of the
Ozark folksong.
Finally the newspapers took their
inning, each telling a different his
tory and source of origin for the song.
Only one. however, lived true to the
traditions laid down by the great pal
ladiums of the United States which
had so busily gone over the ground
a year before. This journal one morn
| ing solemnly explained that in the
, Missouri ballad of annonymous com
' position had been recognized by a
i Honolulu anthropologist a familiar
j folksong of past ages composed by a
| princess of a long-forgotten native
