DIR. James D.. AIoRatt Discusses Needs

Des Moines, Ia, May 17.-Dr- Jas

20Oth anniversary of the formation of
the first presbytery in the United

the work of doing its full share toward
the evangelization of the world, of de-
velOping among its own members the
highest type of Christian character,
and of maintaining and improving its
own agencies for this work, in par
ticular its educational agencies, which
he said have been overlooked.
He intimated that doctrinal discus
sions and controversies had at times
Withdrawn the attention Of the church
from its supreme duty, and therefore
that some other churches had out
grown it in numbers.
Cooperation was dwelt upon, and
the position ia Ren that the possibility
Of increasing the efficiency of the
churches In their common work of
evangelization should determine the
extent of cooperation. In all cases
in which there was harmony in doc
trine and poity, he said, the churches
were in duty bound to unite, when con-
WINGED that union would increase their
efficiency
He argued from their popular rep
resentative government, the elaborate
creed required only of the minister,
and the fact that the church has al
ways required the minister to have the
been the purpose of the church to pro-
mote an intelligent type of Christian
life in its membership, and that it
has ever been committed to the vital
union of evangelization and education
In advocating the fostering of Pres
byterian colleges, he maintained that
they we're more than ever before

classical colleges have always DONE

which classical training occupies a

fessors teach mostly and lecture rare

FARMING IN ALASKA

Once in a while some official or other person bobs up with statement that farming at profit or with any consid- erable success is impossible in Alaska says the San Francisco Chronicle. Many of the mining men who are e1- plotting the country prefer that there should be no large population with in- terests other than mining, and their pessimistic view of possibilities has a tendency to warp the judgement of hurried observers. But the weight of the evidence is wholly in favor of great agricultural possibilities in Alaska whenever race accustomed to Arctic conditions has been developed and varieties of crops suited to the short seasons are discovered or created"
 When we speak of Alaska we are talking of a country nearly as large as the combined area of Kentucky, Ten nessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Texas which are grouped as the "south central division" by the census office. The different sections of this great territory are widely different in climatic conditions. It is substantially in the latitude of the Scandinavian peninsula, and near the coast is subject to similar oceanic influences. Our de- partment of agriculture has an experi- ment station there and is demonstrat- ing the possibilities of few localities only. Individuals have done much more, and a prominent Wisconsin lum- herman has just brought home half a bushel of seed potatoes grown there, to furnish tangible evidence to his neigh bors of the fecundity of the soil. All we know, of course, is that the potatoes were produced in Alaska" and where abouts in that vast region we are not informed. The summers of Alaska are short and hot. In some parts of the country the ground does not thaw dur ing the summer to depth sufficient to allow cultivation. But there are great districts in which no such trouble ex- ists, and there is reason to believe that within few decades there will be large districts of we'll populated country agriculturally self sustaining and car rying on a large and valuable com merce with the cities of this coast.

AID FOR ALASKA RAILROADS

The announcement from Washington City that the house committee had al most decided to drop the proposal to extend government aid to the con struction of railroads in Alaska seems to have been premature; or else there have been more recent developments which have brought about change of opinion on the part of the members of the committee.
 Hearings on the Lowering bill, which provides for guarantee by the govern ment of interest on $3O,000,000 of bonds to be issued for the construction of railroads in Alaska, has been resumed. On Wednesday letter was received by the committee from Secretary Taft, in which the secretary expressed his warm approval of the bill. The Alaska dele gates, elected at the convention held in Seattle also addressed the committee on the subject.
 If the bill passes, the possibility of the government being called upon to disburse a dollar on it's guarantee is very remote. No one familiar with the situation in Alaska has any doubt that any one of the proposed railroads in Alaska, if built and operated efficiently and economically, would pay good in- terest on the cost of construction. The government assistance, in the form of a guarantee of the bonds of the proposed companies, will permit of the needed money being borrowed at amuch lower rate of interest than if the sole security were the credit of the companies. Such bonds would be taken eagerly by in- vestors of class that would hesitateto invest in bonds in any new enterprise, no matter how iattering it's prospects, or how high the rate of interest offered, without some such guarantee.
 What it is proposed to do by this bill for Alaska has already been provided for the Philippines by bills which have already passed congress. The people of Alaska are entitled to at least as much aid from congress as has been accorded the Filipinos, although, it must be con- fessed, up to this time they have receiv- ed far less. It is possibly realization of this fact that induces Secretary Taft who has asked and obtained so much for the people of the Philippines, to be now so warmly in favor of similar treatment for the Americans in Alaska. -PI
