Woodrow Wilson proposes to walk to the White House on the morning ot his inauguration. Wood row intends doing this, not because he particularly likes walking, but because he wants to set a simpler pace fin the conduct of presidents and State officials who have gradu- ally began adopting styles and hab- it's too regal for a citizen of the republic.
 The walking Idea. however, is somewhat too antiquated to be ser iously adopted. This is an age of doing things, and instead of Wood rows ambliug along to the White House, it would be more in keeping with business methods to zip over there in taxi and get his swear ing in done quickly and start re- forming the tariff and the thous- ands of other things that need re forming. Woodrow is on danger ous grounds when he attempts to play up the simple life, because of the effect he thinks it may have on the public mind. The public mind is quick to detect lite's trap pings whether they be snobbish and spectacular or grandstandishly meek and lowly.
 Be true to thyself, Woodrow, and

EDITORIAL PAG E

A cable dispatch from Nome, dat ed January :, records the departure from that place in the depth of winter of the newly-elected terri torial senator and two representa- tIves on their way to Juneau, there to attend the first session of the first territorial legislature of Alas ka These legislators have before them a 2,OOO-mile journey by dog team before they can reach the open water at Cordova, whence they will take steamship to Jun eau, thus completing the last leg of their long journey. The legislature itself convenes on the first Mon day in March.
 IL will be reaclled that among the many objections urged to grant ing to the people of Alaska the same measure of self-government that is accorded every other com muuity over which the American flag floats was the one that the dis tances were so great that the fac ilities of travel so poor that 1t would be hard to get territorial Legislature together. Notwithstand- ing that objection, congress deliber- atelv fixed the date for the legisla- ture to convene at a time when 1t is the most difficult to travel, and when the difficulties to be surmount ed in making the journey are at their maximum. During the sum- mer time members of the legislature could have reached Juneau from all parts of Alaska with no greater diff ficulty than is encountered in tray cling the same distance in any part of the United States.
 The meeting of this legislature will be a memorable event in the history of Alaska. That country was acquired from Russia forty four years ago. For the entire time which has elapsed since that date it has been the stepsister of other American communities. For many years it did not have even a pretext of any form of government
 the only federal officers being the resident collector of customs and his deputies. Down to the present time 1t has been denied the remotest approach to any form of govern meut in which the people parttcipat' ed, notwithstanding that there are more people resident of Alaska than |there were in some of the States at the time oG their admission into the | Union. Alaska now takes one step | forward. P.-I.

In our news columns today we are publishing an account of the incorporation of a company in Min nesota for the production of tueI briuuettes out of the practically waste raw materials of Alaska.

Here we have vast coal de posits. some Of 1t of low grade quality and much of the highest Here we have millions of cords or pine and spruce timber and waste wood, containing rosin, pitch, tur- pentine and wood alcohol This company proposes to construct a reduction plant and extract the pitch, which will be used as a ce- menting material to mix with powdered coal and press the mass into fuel bricks. There will be by products of potash, creOsote, lamp black, and the numerous varieties of coal tar extracts.
 The scheme is magnificent in conception and feasible in eNecu- ton. It only needs the application of capital to make 1t, not only a dividend payer for the investors, but a benefit to the nation in the reduction of the present high cost of living

Why Join the Church?

If you are an active member Of the
Christian Endeavor society,
Because you have by that act declar-
ed your faith in Jesus Christ.
Because the church is the body of
Christ, the instrument He uses to do
His work in the world.
Because the failure of one member to
take his place in the body and perform
his function weakens the body by just
so much.
Because fellowship in service is just
as important as individual salvation.

Writer in Motor Car Journal Would
Regulate Blowing of Auto Horns.

Writer in Motor Car journal Would
Regulate Blowing of Auto Horns.
NEW YORK, April ga writer in the
May issue OF Motor says too little thought
in the framing OF automobile laws has
been given TO reduction of noise and pre-
vention of accidents through the proper
regulation Of automobile warning signals.
In discussing the problem from stand
point OF noise, the author declares that
only small element among motorists
misuse their signals. "Some offenders
err through thougntiessness or careless
ness, but the majority OF those who make
unnecessary noise with their signals are
OF the same type as the ioy-rider; and like
him ought to be suppressed at every OPT
portunity without the great majority OF
abiding automobilists being made to
suffer for their sins.
SIN the past two years there has been an
active campaign in progress to regulate
the use OF automobile warning signals; to
legally demand the use OF adequate
signals, and to restrict the use OF such
signals except as warnings Of danger.
ssThe failure of motorists to use signals
in their true function gives wrong inn
preston to the nom motoring public,
which is largely in the majority. Motor
lists should learn the results OF misusing
their warning signals. Ii Is equally nee
essary that the nom motorists should un-
derstand that the misuse OF warning sig
nal in no way detracts from the general
benefit OF such signal v be i is properly
used. Once this fact is understood, many Of
the disturbing conditions that constantly
operate to create aptagonism between
motorists and non-motorist would be re-
moved.
ssFrom time to time the question il
raised: Can automobile drivers be taught
to use their signal properlyT Mos
drivers do thss very thing. The trouble y
the deliberate noise maker makes so muct
noise he gives the impression that r.
greater number OF persons misuse thei
signals than are guilty of the offense
| The remedy lies in the vigorous punish
ment OF the noise maker of unnecessar,
noise as disturber OF the peace"
