"If the development of Alaska Is properly safeguarded and the people's rights protected, then the citizens of the United States, as well as the gov ernment, can hardly fail to realize, $100 for every $1 expended in Alaska. Hut congress should be careful to see to it that in any plan of development permitted or adopted all mineral and coal deposits are forever preserved to the people of Alaska and to the peo ple of the Fnifed States. "Th concensus 'of opinion is that a railroad .should be built from the touth sea of Alaska up through the Interior, so that by branch lines it -vould open up tho great coal fields' end gold fields of the country and the great river valleys for home "builders, ending at some great river navigable) to the western ocean. "Such a railroad can be built with about 4 00 miles of trackage, at a cost of about $40,000,00, that will give over ri.000- miles of trathc by railroad find water, not to speak of the branch lines of the railroad and navigation tributaries of the great ocean river, thus opening up to civilization the valleys that are aide to house mil lions of settlers, support great cities and ive outlet to the greatest coal lields of the world.

CATTLE QUEEN" IS FREED STl-TAMIAT SPRINGS. Col.. Aug. 1 . Anna Bernard, Known in Colo rado ;ls th- "Cattle Queen". Saturday night was acjuitted by a jury of the charge of cattle stealing. Immediate ly upon report of the Jury's verdict. "Queen Anne' and her friends leased all the moti- n picture theaters in the town for the night and all business houses and all saloons closed while the people of the city celebrated her acquittal with her. Pnfires were built and men, women and children marched through the down town treet shouting and singing. A garden patch in the town of Caribo, Alaska, Many of the residents of Caribo grow all their fresh vege tables during the summer months in their back yards. Root vegetables, cabbage, peas and the regular garden truck is easily grown, and of unusually pleading quality and proportions. Also the common garden tlowers. There are several farms in this portion of Alaska. LET THE PEOPLE RULE AND GRAFT FLEES, SAYS FQL V "Place the machinery of the gov ernment as close to the people as pos sible anil to that extent graft and cor ruption will be abolished," said ex (Jov. Joseph YV. Folk of Missouri, in his lecture at th" Chautauqua Sun day afternoon when he talked on the subject, "A Fight for a State." "During the past decade and a half people's consciences have gradually awakened to a keener sense of right and wrong. Years ago the voter took the matter of selling his vote on elec day indifferently, while now only the corrupt politician will purchase the vote and the transaction is made be hind closed doors. As a result we lind tho nation gradually stepping away from corruption." Ho began his lecture by saying that many people might not agree with him on some of the subjects which he was about to discuss. He said that it was man's privilege to think as he wished. Continuing with an illustra tion, he said that out of four state ments there probably would be people in the audience who would believe and agree with him on at least one or two, while but few woijld agree with him on all. The four statements were, that he was hrst an American citizen, second a Missourian, third a Baptist and last a democrat. Points to nryan. He pointed to Bryan, saying that he was a great leader who was largely instrumental in bringing about an awakening of the nation. Roosevelt was also referred to as a leader along timilar lines. "True American patriotism should exist in the breast of every citizen," ho continued, in referring to an in stance which occurred in his state, the governor said, "I once heard a prominent legislator say in a banquet toast that he wished he might die for his country. It happened that a short time later the same man had been brought before where he was cepting money tain franchise, loudlv that he a court in Missouri, proven guilty of ao for voting for a cr- The man had cried wished he might die for his country. but he was not e ri willing to live for it. "It is as important for the private individual to perform his patriotic duties at the polls and in other places as it is for the legislator to perform his. at the state capitol. The man who accepts a dollar for his ote is guilty of high treason. And the man who buys it is as bad as the grafter who accepts money in the legislature f"T his vte or influence. tiraft is Organized. "Jraft is organized, while righteous ness and horesty are ret.

If he had nm iihed with the Tamrnir.y crowd ho would hae '.en t-ui times worse than h.- was. It w. uld be het ter for the I'nited States if the entire Tammany crowd were wi;ed out " rdk thm pointed to conditions in i his own state, showing the wav in which it was gradually working away from graft. He pointed to the gamb ling at the race tracks and at the sa loons, and to the way it had been alKilished in the state. "Winn the gambling at the race tracks at St. lyouis was tlrst abolish ed." he continued, "the gambh-r cried that it would discourage the raising of thoroughbred and fast horses in the state. Thousands of bovs and men sell their lives in the gambling places at the races. I believe that the lives of the men who hao gone down through the gambling holes at the race tracks should have the chance even if tho race horse business should suffer. IalMicity l Aid. "Publicity now tends to abolish the evils, upholding moral progress. Reforms have -been accomplished largily through the efforts of the press, which has thrown the light on the offender. A few years ago prize fighting was permitted in most all of the Mates, while now it has been made illegal in most of them, showing that the nation is progressing morally. "Ciive the people a chance to handle the lines and graft will abolished. I stand for the initiative referendum and recall of Judges and decisions, as they place the machinery of the gov ernment nearer the people and fur ther from tho organized political grafter. I believe in the primary elec tion law." Touching on suffrnge Tor women he said that laws would be managed dif ferently if both sexes were granted equal rights at the polls. He pointed to questions of the day such as soiial evils, managing of the liquor laws and the white slave question, and said that the woman at the polls would make several changes. He said -that suffrage should not be based on sex, but ra ther on intelligence. "The enforcement of the laws of the nation now depends on the oliic ials at the nation's head." said the ex-governor. "You can rest assured that v here laws are not enforced some otlicial is neglecting to enforce it for a purpose, lather he is geting some graft or for personal reasons he does not execute it. "In Missouri a few years ago an investigation of the white slae and liquor situation in one of the larger cities showed that nearly all of the police force, with a number of its higher oilieials were guilty of accept ing i:raft money for allowing prosti tution houses to remain open, and the violation of liquor laws. When the probe brought out the guilt of a large number of the force four of them committed suicide rather than face the charges." The Mozart Trio gave a sacred con cert at both the morn;ng and evening programs". Pleads For Children. Dr. A. Rugene Bartlett of Chicago, delivered a sermon in the evening using the subject "Little Citizens of Tomorrow" or "The Conservation of Childhood." Dr. Bartlett believes in dicipline of the child. He spoke of the conserva tion of our natural resources and then declared that the fundamental saving of our children was by conserv ing hu man life and energy, lie made a plea for Christianity through the agencies Watch Yoi These Little Stomachs (ict Out f Order FaHy in Hot Weather. During the hot months mothers should look very carefully to the con dition of the bowels of babies and young children, and. for that matter, it is very important in the lives of people at all ages.

Pointing to child labor he said that it had a tendency to lead the young girl, who had desires for better things. into a life of shame through com- meicialized vice. He showed how the j work in the sweatshop took the child j away from the play which builds it up I physically and away from the, school which built it 'Ji mentally and said s that if the sweatshop was permitted J to continue to be the school rooms of 1 the next generation, that the next generation was bound to be degener ate. He urged that playgrounds be built to conserve the physical health of the child. He said that there was a greater need to the child than the no d of an education, a place to play, and a decent hpiuo. "The child should I be taught a spirit of love for. others j through tin- church. He should not! be taught to loyu one particular de- j nomination or or pew but should get1 a broad. r idea." said Dr. Bartle?. j "If the child is permitted to grow! up with a feeling of love only for hiself and one church pew, he will j grow up to ! e the kind of man who j employs the child in the factory, j sucking the blood out of the child's veins to Jill his own purse."
