IT is not to our credit as a nation thai
Alaska, which has been ours for
thirty-tive years, should still have as
poor a system of laws as is the case.
No country has a more valuable pos
sesslon--in mineral wealth, in fisheries.
furs, forests, and also in land avail
able for certain kinds of farming and
stocligrowing. 1t is Il territory Of
great size and varied resources, Well
lifted to support Il large permanent
population. Alaska needs II good land
law and such provisions for home
steads and prescriptions as will en-
courage permanent settlement. We
should shape legislation with view
not to the exploiting and abandoning
OF the territory, but to the building
up of homes therein. The land laws
should he liberal in type, so as to
hold out inducements to the actual
settler whom we most desire to see
take possession of the country. The
forests of Alaska should be protected,
and, as a secondary but still important
matter. the game also, and at the
same time ii is imperative that the
settlers should be allowed to cut tim
Der, under proper regulations, for their
own use Laws should be enacted 10
protect the Alaskan salmon fisheries
against the greed which would destroy
them. They should be preserved as a
permanent industry and food supply.
Their management and control should
be turned over to the commission of
fish and fisheries. Alaska should have
delegate in the congress. 1t would
be well if congressional committee
could visit Alaska and investigate its
needs on the ground.

THE
PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE.

the deadliest battery and to send 1t
afloat with a raw crew, no matter
how brave they were individually.
would be TO insure disaster If a foe of
average capacity were encountered.
Neither ships nor men can be in,pro-
yised when war has begun.
We need thousand additional Of
ncers in order to properly man the
ships now provided for and under con-
struction. The classes at the naval
school at Annapolis should be greatly
enlarged. AT the same time that we
thus add the officers where we need
them, we should facilitate the retire
rnent of those at the head of the list
whose usefulness has become impaired.
Promotion must be fostered if the SER
vice Is to be kept efficient
The lamentable scarcity of officers,
and the large number of recruits and
of unskilled men necessarily put
aboard the new vessels as they have
been commissioned, has thrown upon
our officers, and especially Oh the lieu
tenants and Junior grades. unusual
labor and fatigue and has gravely
strained their powers of endurance.
Nor is there sign of any immediate
let-up in this strain. 1t must continue
for some time longer, until more Off
GERS are graduated from Annapolis.
and until the recruits become trained
and skillful in their duties. In these
difficulties incident upon the develop
ment of our war fleet the conduct OF
all our officers has been creditable to
the service, and the lieutenants and
junior grades in particular have dis
played an ability and steadfast
checrfulnCss which entities them to
the ungrudging thanks of all who
realize the disheartening trials and
fatgucs to which they are of necessity
subjected.
There is not a cloud on the horizon
at present. There seems not the
slightest chance of trouble with a
foreign power. We most earnestly
hope that this state of things may
continue; and the way to insure its
continuance is to provide for
thoroughly efficient navy. The re-
fusal to maintain such navy would
invite trouble. and if trouble came
would insure disaster. Fatuous self
complacency or vanity, or short
sightedness in refusing to prepare
for danger, is both foolish and wick
ed in such nation as ours; and past
experience has shown that such
faulty in refusing to recognize or
prepare for any crisis in advance is
usually succeeded by a mad panic
Of hysterical fear once the crisis has
actually arrived.

Irrigation of Arid Lands

Few subjects of more Importance
have been taken up by the congress
in recent years than the inauguration
OF the system of rationally-alded irri-
CATION for the arid regions of the far
West. A good beginning therein has
been made. Now that this policy of ma
tional irrigation has been adopted, the
need of thorough and scientific forest
protection will grow more rapidlys thar
ever throughout the publc-land states.
Legislation should be provided for
the protection of the game, and the
Wild creatures generally, on the forest
reserves The senseless slaughter OF
game, which can by judicious protec-
ton be permanently preserved ON our
national reserves for the people as a
whole, should be stopped at once. 1t
IL, for instance, serious count against
our national good sense to permit the
present practice of butchering Off such
a stately and beautiful creature as the
elk for its antlers oIs tusks.
SO far as they are available for agri-
culture, and to whatever extent they
may be reclaimed under the national
irrigation law, the remaining public
lands should be held rigidly for the
home builder, the settler who lives on
his land, and for no one else. In
their actual use the desert-land law,
the timber and stone law, and the
communication clause Of the homestead
law have been SO perverted from the
intention with which they were en-
acted as TO permit the acquisition of
large areas of the public domain for
other than actual settlers and the
