PRESIDENT HARDING ON ALASKA.
President Harding's speech at Seattle disposed of
any doubt that may have existed as to the benefit to
.Alaska of the visit of the President and members of ills
Cabinet to the North. The President proved beyond all
doubt tin his coming was not in vain. He demonstrated
that he had made good use of the time tie had spent
in the Northland. His conclusions and recommendations
are such as one would expect from a seasoned sour
dough. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with
Alaska. The Territory is getting along pretty well. |
There is nothing that the Federal Government or any|
other authcrlty could do that would transform this Ter
ritory over night into one of the populous anti wealthy!
cctnmonwealths of the Notion. Alaska will grow as!
her resources are developed and make work for labor-■
ing men and markets for those engaged in businessj
and the Industrie
The Ptesidi tit's declaration that Alaska's ultimate!
destiny Is to be membership in the sisterhood of States;
io reawurlng. If that is to tie Alaska's destiny, and!
we bilieve it i ' the destiny that a very large majority :
of the people of the Territory would choose, the re
sources of the Territory that remain in Federal owner-j
rhip should lie administered as the? Federal owned re
sources in the States are administered.
The President's dcilarlicn in favor of early State
hood for Southeastern Alaska and the country in the j
Southeaetern corner of the remainder of the Territory
is reassuring, it would he well, however, if the Ter- ■
riloiy is to be divided to make the division at once and I
create the part of it which it is proposed to erect into
a State n Territory with a full Territorial form of
government at once so that the people would be pre
pared for Statehood when Congress sees its way to J
erect the tilth State of I lie I'nion. ,
Tlie President's declaration that the salmon fisheries j
of Hie Territory will he pcipit#ated must he satis
factory, and, like the President, if Congress does not
handle the question satisfactorily, we know of no bet
tei way to insure the preservation of the fisheries
iudueiry- than the nic hed inaugurated by Secretary
Hoover and hi: proposal to extend the fisheries res
ervations.
The President declared that tho restrictions on
the tale of timber for the manufacture of pulp and
paper could very well be lightened. That, when con
sidered in connection with the statement of Colonel
Greeley, Chief Fore-ter, dial "we will see that you
have a pulp and paper manufacturing business in
Alaska,” is of paramount importance to Alaska. The
surest wav to brine neonle to Hie Territory In emit limn
bus quickly is through the early development of this
Industry in Air ka. With the development cf the]
pulp and paper industry will copie population. The
industry itself will require about ten men per daily1
ton of paper production. With the pulp and paper
industry developed to the ultimate of the capacity of
Southeastern Alaska to maintain it in perpetuity it f
would roqulre 40,000 to 50,000 workingmen. This
would make a mat ket for other industries that would
make room In Southeastern Alaska lor a papulation
that would easily warrant the eriabliehmont of a!
Slate.'
President Harding went through Alaska with his,
eyes open. That much is proved by hie Seattle speech.]
He was not earriid away with the palaver of the
boomer nor was he influenced by the pessimism of the'
grouchv. He saw tilings on the level, with the]
vision and reasoned judgment of a common sense busi- ]
ness man. That is just what the people of Alaska
ought to want. It is what those in the Territory who
are working tor its development do want.
THE (GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT FORGET
In considering Alaska the Federal Government
should never for a moment lose sight of the circum
stance that it is the largest holder of lands, resources
and property in Alaska and, therefore, should of right I
he the heaviest taxpayer. It should not lie forgotten.:
for instance, that the greatest bonefleiiry front tile
const ruction of the proposed Hawk Inlet anif Oliver]
Inlet canal projects would be the Federal Government1
and Hie country generally. Their benefit would he a!
direct benefit though their ownership of the natural 1
resources—the timber and wuter power, particularly— ]
as well as an immensely greater indireo! benefit thiu .
would come through the development of the resources I
that would he facilitated and the trade and traffic1
with the States that would result.
THE PRESIDENT ON JOURNALSM.
The President’s compliment to the Alaska daily
newspapers on account of tlieir enterprise, honesty |
and frankness and his suggestions concerning the op
portunity oi the pi e.-for service lo the country
generally constitute a fine conception of the opportuni
ties and obligations of those i ngaged in newspaper
making. A nowspaper should be enterprising; It
should lie hone.-1; it should he frank and it should
present in fairness the largo news of the world
and the news of its local field. It should co-operate
with those who are developing the country and its
institutions. It should give uM to tpose when are ebarg
d with tbe responsibility of gi^rnnnsnt, ,In tlieir »t
:miits to carry out their policies as far as that Is j I
possible, ami it should. In any event, refrain from
throwing obstacles In their way, and never misrepre
sent them. The newspaper that questions motives
without facts on which to base accusations, that de
liberately misrepresents, that indulges in campaigns
to make those charged with responsibilities unpopular,
so as to discredit tbeir efforts and destroy their use
fulness. is unworthy of the name, and it shuold die.
Fortunately it usually does dio.
While the Associated Press reports a small salmon
run and pack in ttie Bristol Buy country in South
eastern Alaska the fish are so plentiful that the
problem is to get enough labor at the cannery to care
for them. This is a reversal of the usual order. For
a number of years the big problem has been to get
enough fish to keep the canneries going.
However, whether tile authority to legislate for
the fisheries is to be given to the Territory or to
b'' retained by the Federal Government, the end
to be reached is to provide for a sufficient escape
ment of salmon to perpetuate the species.
At least let us give Democratic leaders credit for
refusing to join in a campaign of hatefulness to make
Prefident Harding unpopular. It is far more digni
fied Ilian the treatment of President Wilson by the
Lodge-Hays leadership four years ago.
By the emphatic majority of 3f>8 to 121 the Brit
ish House of Commons refused to consider further a
proposal by Socialists io abolish private enterprise and
set up an order based on public ownership and con
trol of the instruments of production, distribution and
exchange. Great Britain continues to adhere to the
principle of individualism as against collectivism.
(Jirls in Northland.
(Dawson News.)
It is a somewhat note wort by fact that many more
young women than young men each season of late
years having been faring forth into the North. Most
ot these newcomers are In the twenties or 'teens. They
predominate over the young men among ttie tourists
anil likewise among the number of the younger gen
eration reining into and through the country indi
vidually. The first travelers up the Yukon this sea
son from Nenana to Dawson came by launch, and
were two athletic young women of the well edu
cated, self reliant type who were taking a year to see
this Northland. \A few days ago several young women
left here alone in email boats on the tour of the
Yukon, all spending a year or more in the North.
Quite a number of the same stamp of young women
come t aeli year, some as writers, others working their
way through the world in any legitimate calling,
seme killed and tranied in various vocations, some
with college educations. And, among the tourists,
the girls under twenty and up to thirty are numerous.
The boys or young men among the tourists are few
and the individual travelers among the male sex at
the same period in life arp few. and few young men
come into this country either as prospectors or for
tune seekers.
The question has been asked why this predomin
ance among the young female of the species over the
mle in these new realms. Some have answered, and
perhaps arc light, that the young men of older
communities in this day live up their incomes from
day lo day and have net the wherewith to travel,
while young women are more saving and lay aside
enough on which to make the adventures into new
fields. Some say the young men look forward to as
suming new responsibilities at home and therefore
do not deem it advisable to make the long excur
sions. Others give the young women credit for more
thorough reading of literature dealing with lands of
romance and new allurements and the creation there
by of a desire lo see such lands for themselves, and
belonging to an age when woman is emancipated from
the old traditions that she should remain forever by
the old fireside, follows her inclination to go far
afield into the lands of her dreams.
In any event the young woman Is decidedly in
evidence In these new regions, and does not hesi
tate to make the adventures where many of her
brothers have not appeared. The young woman of
today thus launching out finds the men of the North
land chivalrous toward her. She is offered no ef
frontery by tlie men of the high type of the North,
but rather welcomed and greeted as a good fellow!
worthy of the stamp that typifies those who respond
to the call of the North and establish her fa%e and
merit tier treasures.

The election of Magnus Johnson, the Farnier
l.aborite, was conceded by the Democrats from the
beginning of the campaign. They put up^ a candidate
merely to represent the party and with no hope of
his eaccess. All the returns are not yet in, hut at
this stage the Democratic vote is not sufficient to
make up the difference between the figures for Preus
and Johnson.
In other words, Johnson would have won on a
straight-out light with the Republican Party.
Minnesota Itas long been a center or "advanced”
!i not to say radical thought. Of recent years it has
been greatly under the influence of men like Sena
tor l.a Pollette of whom Magnus Johnson is a devoted
follower, on nearly all things he thinks as l.a Fol
lette speaks, and until the Wisconsin Senator has
spoken on any national issue Johnson prefers net to
make uny statement on the subject.
though his Christian name means "great" there is
ttle danger that Magnus will overshadow Hiram
Johnson.
When Informed of his election he made the states
manlike remark: "I beat that fellow? I urn United
Stales Senator? What do you think of that’"
He proceeded to say that he was against the
u.v l\r l"n !,,Hl t'!e U‘aKUe of Na,lons and against
anj '°rols" entanglements, hut Insisted that he did
not want to go on reeord. "You see," he said, "I
wait until 1 talk to my colleagues Brookhart and
such, before I decide ”
Recognition of Soviet Russia? Well I
don't want to go on retard on that now.
