WHAT WE NEED IS ACTION.

The American Mining Congress. now in session al Chicago. Is to de- vote one entire day to discussing mat ters pertaining to Alaska Secretary Fisher. We are informed has promised to outline his Alaska policy on that day, pertaining To the coal and oil de- posits. President Taft will also ad- dress the meeting prior to it's adjourn ment but whether on this country of ours, or not We are unabel to say.
 We have been informed so often about the policy of the government to- ward Alaska that We would dearly love to see the officials who have a say in the matter get action. We want it to be extensive in scope and not confined to the exploitation of the coal and oil industry. The coal controversy has de veloped into huge joke. where all the officials and courts of the land have been drawn in much the satn. as if It was a terrific whirlpool whos, vortex was centered in Alaska.
 If the powers that bp back in Wash ington are to grant Alaskans the rights of American citizenship the liberties that naturally follow inc flag. they should commence to get action and ac- complish something besides words. mere words and promises. It is almost crime to keep such important meas ITs4g IFa s.Na

Not as unruly citizens for even the officials claim they are good honest law abiding people: but the very idea of carving coals to Newcastle grates upon the patriotic pride of the Pathhnders. who through pluck and power to withstand hardships. have hlazed the trails through this frozen trackless waste.
 The eyes of the people in the states are centered on Alaska al the present time. and will remain there until after the election of delegate next August for as goes Alaska. SD goes the cleo ton Is the prophecy at the present time. Politicians as well as people with money invested in coal and oil are looking with longing eyes in our dlrec- tion to catch the first bright ray Of hope as i appears above the horizon of this vast treasure house ar TncIr Sam's
 It behooyes the powers that be to get busy right away for We have reached the state of existence where time is the essence of success. and should they fall 10 heed the warning. and take the tide at its flood we are prepared to state they will receive such a Iolt in the way of disappointment. it will re. quire several experts to piece together the wreck their inaction win bring about
 Pioneers and other people who go Co make up the backbone of the country love action. and lots of it the more the merrier. and Co them inactlon breeds contempt The man. party OF association of persons. who has solved the problem of getting action and keep ing things moving is the person or company received with open arms. and acquire as strong following.
 Action speaketh louder than words it matters not if the vibrations set in motion are for the best. the peoole do not stop Ia weigh such it Is the agitation at SO many thousand sec ond that appeals to them The poll ucian who expects Co win out must keep the limelIght focused In his dI. rection. He must be constantly up and doing. creating motion. doing things that causes rapid vibrations. with something stirring an the time. The faster the motion the greater the power Of attraction. for this self evi- 1 dent fact holds just as good In the human. as il does in thy planetar, sys- tenn We hope that Secretary Fisher win get action pertaining to the develop- ]
