a rich possession of the United States
 for forty i've years, this h the first
 time that Q president has thought
 enough of 1t to send a personal re-
 presentative to inquire into its af- fairs and needs. and to make report direct to him.
 The fact that President Wilson has selected Mir. Seth Mann to be his personal investigator and mouthpiece shows he has perfect confidence ir MT. Mann. and also argues that MT. Mann Is worthy of that confidence. The representative. from the hurried nature of the trip. can make no de- tailed study of Alaska, and must na- turally form his conclusion from the snap judgments obtained at brief meetings of civic bodies. casual talks with the citizenship and mingling in social affairs. like the one held last night in honor of himself and of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce mem bers. His opinions must be formed by the impressions people make on him. If those impressions are pleas ureable: if they show intelligence md uprightness of intent on the part of Alaskans, their influence will be- come part of his report to the Pre- sident and be given consideration by the President and through him by congress.
