The prediction of President Hooper, of the Amcri can and Canadian Tourists' SocKties, that hubltua Alaska summer visi'orr will :\>c;n supplant tiic singlt lound-trlppers as U dominant factor in the Alaskui tourist situation is interesting and in all probability will bocouia a final remit. That was the course o: development In California, and it is one of the thing: which made that the groat State it is. At first peopli began making winter trips to California in the courst of their travels. I.titer they begun coming there t spend the winters. They became acquainted with thi country and its- in opl •. and the California wintei habit waq sjoon formed. They increased the lengtl of their stay.-, remainitig longer and longer on eacl trip than in the past. The purchase or erection o winter homes came next. Then they began sever!nt tier elsewhere and became Californians. A large par of California’s population was acquired itt that wuy Why shouldn’t Alaska become the summer habltn cf these people who have located in California am who spend their winters there? That granted, wit; shouldn't many of them become enthused with tin opportunities for investment and for industry am trade in Hie North? Why should wo not lool forward to large population increases in that way just as California has got them? ALASKA'S VAST RESOURCES. Illustrating his comment on "Alaska's Vast Re sources," B. I). Hyde, a Boston business man win has completed a trip to Alaska and return, said; Since Uiu while man went into and par tially developed Alaska that country has sent to the United States over $500,000,000 In fish, skins, furs, gold, silver and other metals. Better than that. Mr. Hyde. The figures are abou $1,160,000,000. And this year of 1923 will be om of the be t of the 56 years since the United Stale: became the owner of the Territory. The facts ari that probably in no section of the world have tin same number of people produced so much for expor as those who live and work in Alaska are producing SENATOR UNDERWOOD AND THE PRESIDENCY. who has never stooped to conquer. He lias never beer evasive or Insidious. He lias never lowered his colon to expediency. Ho has never held his linger alof to determine the direction of the wind. With cleai mind, deflntlencis of convlcilion and unflinching cour age he lias always nwjved purposefully, decisively am in direct course toward the point indicated by wist judgment and active conscience. No man in America! public life has more consistently hewed to the line regardless of where the chips may fail. Si nator Underwood has served in Congress foi thirty years in the House of Representatives anc i'enate, much of the time as his party leader. Ills ex porience, capacity and fearless leadership made waj for tire legislative success of the Wilson Admnistra tion. T hrough it all he proved to he an accurate thinker and liard worker. There is no branch of tin public service or phase of national life or national activities that Ire has not mastered. He lias alwayt been broadly national in bis attitude, above sectional factional or party interests, lie is intensely practica and there Is not a taint of demagoguery in lib make-up. He belongs to that school of all-wool tralght-good" statesmen which have given us Clove land, Edmunds, Bayard, Reed, Carlisle and otlien "ho have accomplished without swashbuckling, swag gcring or spectacular performance. Senator Underwood lias piloted inoro progressive legislation through Congress: than any one man ol his gencratkf.i, yet the chief obstacle between him and the Providential nomination of bis party is t!ic charge or Bryan and other noise-makers that lie is u conservative, lie i; a conservative in the sense that he insists that progressive proposals must meet cou rt native tecta as to their practicability. That is why lie lias hern responsible for so much progressive legisla’t.n—for so much actual uchlciVmunt in pro % ress. There Is no American better equipped In exper ience, temperment, intellectual capacity or habit ot lie uglit and action to grapple with our domestic economic and international problems than Senator Underwood. H^ would make a great President uf a gieat country. HARD ROW AHEAD FOR WORK PROHIBITIONISTS. One of the fallacies of Dr. Steinmetz’g four-hour day theory is disclosed by the demand for more than something to eat and wear. Not only do people want a lot more than tlie necessaiy food and clothing when purchasing eats and raiment but they want more education, more entertainment, more luxuries and more -of a lot of other things than they used to get. And, if one is to judge from the statistics, there ia,an alniort incredible number of people who Want fa savings account gird a lot of them wa^t It to tj* » bi(r, tat one. Nun*t*»us porsone «eem to 1 lie1 sevtn per cent, bonds and others like first mortgages. The indications are that there will be a lot of opposition whcneer tlie work prohibitionists begin , their effort to prohibit work in the country. People, someway, want so much tiiat is not necessary! The use of intoxicating liquor lias been a curse to those who work says the New York Post. Tiiat i cannot be successfully disputed. People should be leducated cut of its use—Its intemperate use, at least.j P.ut no one has proposed legislation that would compel j a single soul to use intoxicating liquor. | With Coolidge as Republican and Underwood us Democratic nominee Mr President the country could get down to business as soon 11s the conventions ud jcurn wtliout fear of revolutionary processes. --- If Americans could exterminate the rats, insects, etc., which make war upon foodstuff, and eradicate tlie lire evil it would result in a considerable saving in tlie general expense account. The evolutionary progress of civilization is illus trated in the case of llertnor and Villa. Five cities claimed Homer dead. Five widows claimed the prop erty of the dead Villa. | - | The world ow’es no man a living. It owes him an opportunity to make a living for himself, and every man owes Hie world the services tliut are worth the I living lie gets. I Alaska’s Vast Resources. (Roston News Rureau.) B. 1). Hyde, a director of Ventura Consolidated Oil Fields, Mammon Consolidated Gold Fields, and numerous Boston companies, bus Just returned front u two months' trip through the Northwest and Alaska, going 200 miles north of the Siberian coast, j Ila says: It ts impossible for an American citizen to visit our far Nortli possession, Alaska, without experiencing a feeling of pride; pride that this country possesses such a wonderfully rich country with hundreds of millions in natural resources. At tlie same time lie cannot escafie a feeling tliat all is not being done to tap that source of wealtli with the best^and most modern lines of ■ communication. Alaska today lacks transportalion. That was brought home to Uur late President, Warren G. Harding, on his visit there in July. It is doubtly if Alaska can ever have a railroad that could compete with a good water system of transportation. But in the latter there is an immense field for develop ment. The freight rate today from San Fran cisco to Nome, Aaska, on bulk goods Is $21 a I, ton; in addition there is a lighterage charge 'j ef $6.50 a ton at Nome. Here is almost . j $30 a Ion freight charge. And the ab lj surdity of this is apparent when it is seen that the freight rate from Boston to San Francisco by the Panama Canal is only $10 to $12 a ton. Regardless of the wealth of the country, these high freights militate against any great commercial activity there. The government can aid in this by inaugurating steamship lines direct from the Pacific Coast to Alaska i and wlille freight traffic today is not heavy due to tile oppressive rates, low rates under government subsidy, or direct government opt ratin. would stimulate traffic and bring | to this coluntry additional millions in furs, fish and mineral resources. Since the white man went Into and par tially developed Alaska that country has sent ,I to the United States over $500,000,000 in fish, skins, furs, gold, silver and otlior metals. The surface is only scratched. In gold alone ever $87,000,000 has been taken out of a small area. Tho gold resources of that country are still huge. While I was in Alaska the canning season was at its height. The catch tnls year was enormous. In one plant alone 76,000 pounds of salmon wero canned in one day; that is only a bagatelle. The country abounds in furs and fish and with the crudest methods of mining independent operators and small companies are getting out good production and profits. Assistance Planned for Freshman Girls, •m—___ (University of Washington Bulletin.) For the assistance of girls entering the Univer sity of Washington this fall, the student advisory committee of the Women's Federation has devised a | plan whereby the new girls may become better ac ! quaintcd among themselves and with upper class I women of thS university. The freshmen girls will be divided into groups of tm and eacli group will have at its head an upper class woman who will act as "Big Sister" to the group. Through these small groups the girls will in eoime acquainted with each other and also with the older students. i As soon as a new student's credits are accepted by the registrar the student advisory committee will , write her explaining the plan All girls desiring to | be met at trains will be welcomed by a special i committee for that purpose. In addition special tn ! formation booths will bo maintained at tlie depots by Washington students. On Monday. October !, at 2 o'clock in 320 Denny i; Hall, there will be a meeting for ull freshman girls, at which they will have an opportunity to meet with their group for tlie first time. During registration, Tolo Club, women's honor I society, will cooperate with the student advisory com-1 i mitteo In keeping an information service at the offic<:1 I of the Dean of Women. The committee will also I assist in locating girls in approved houses.

The old-fnshloned man who drank poison hy grabbing a bottle out of the medicine closet in the dark now has a son who buys his liquor from a strange bootlegger. Some men know without looking It up In the paper that the daily weath er forecast for their homes is "storms followed by a flood of tears." Nobody but a''married couple re calling their courting days, can ap preciate the full meaning of that well worn old bromide, “Ignorance is bliss.” People seem to enjoy talking about their trouble so much that it is hard to understand why they should ob ject so much to having them. You can’t make the small boy| whose pup has been grabbed by the i dog-catcher, believe that there isn’t; a personal devil. A husband may not be a hero to j his wife, but he often loqks like one! to a bachelor.
