Roosevelt Blames Big Business for
Retarding Development of Alaska
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, July 22.--De-
nunciation of "big business" for
retarding the development of
Alaska is the burden of an article
Just published here by former
President Roosevelt in the current
number of the outlook.
Roosevelt declares the territory
has been strangled "by great capt.
talists wishing to develop Alaska
by making enormous fortunes out
side of and in defiance of the law"
and by members of congress, who,
under the influence or afraid of
the hostility of corporations, de-
cline to permit the passage of leg
islation enabling the people to
work honestly and develop the
coal fields with a fair profit to
themselves while doing justice to
others.
Colonel Roosevelt continues:
Controller bay offers the only
chance, or, at any rate, the best
chance, of a free outlet from the
Behring river coal fields. 1t was
the imperative duty of the govern

How IS Standpatters Walked Plank
LaFollette's Prophecy Came True

The first time La Toilette made
q speech In the senate-and he did
1t when he hadn't been senator
much more than twenty minutes
they walked out on him, just as
they had done In the case of Bev-
eridge, writes Judson G. Welliver
in Munsey's Magazine. The gal
lery remained, just as 1t had done
before. When he found himself
deserted by practically the entire
senate membership, La Toilette
briefly interrupted his speech to
observe:
81 cannot be insensible to the
fact that senators absent them
selves during my remarks. j want
to say that though my observa-
lions may have no interest to the
senate, they have a very keen in
terest to the country. And i take
the liberty to observe that seats
which are now temporarily vacat-
ed will later be vacated perma-
nently.
Prophecy is rather a dangerous
business unless you are a good
guesser; but La Toilette was as
reckless in indulging prophecy as
he was in counting defeat. OF the
men who were senators, and who
walked out of the chamber that
day, the following have since been
defeated and retired:

ker of Ohio, Fulton of Oregon,

Avful Job to Pay Back
That $34,59OOuercharge

Controller Meads uttered cry
of distress in the council chamber
this morning over the recent or
der of the council for him to pay
rebates to property owners in as
sessment districts where engi-
neering charges were too high.
There are thousands of citizens
to whom rebates are due. The
amount to be paid is $34,590, and
the bills are hardly more than an
average of a dollar. This means

Unfortunately, the interior de-

from the government reserves not
only 800 acres, the elimination of

Improperly in the way in which
this elimination was brought

elimination should have been
made.

THE GREAT GUEST COMES.

While the cobbler unused. there
passed his pane a beggar drenched
by the driving rain; he called him
in from the stony street and gave
him shoes for his bruised feet. The
beggar went, and there came a crone
her face with wrinkles of sorrow
sown; a bundle of faggots bowed her
back. and she was spent with the
whench and rack. He gave her his
loaf and steadied her load as she
took her way on the weary road.
Then to his door came little child,
lost and afraid in the world so wild,
in the big, dark word Catching it
up. he gave it the milk in the waiting
cup. and led it home to its mothers
