lntary cession of Southeastern AL aska, whose outlets on the Pacif- ic will be such a vital factor in the development of the north coun- try which lies back of it. !
 Representative Smith is a man of large vision. He counsels the presentation of part of Alaska to Canada, as one link of the chain of friendship which is to bind the white race together, and more es- pecially the United states, the British empire, Germany, and France. In Mir. smiths opinion, the close leaguing of these nations, is the sole hope of the white race in the inevitable struggle with the Asiaics.
 "The white race can maintain It's supremacy only through union- Union among the leading white na- tons is impossible without mutual concessions. The best way to urge mutual concessions is by example by a model concession to Canada." !"
 In spite of the eloquent appeal of the representative from Mary land, and the high minded patriot ism which animates his program, Congress has apparently taken no action cn his resolution empower ing the President Ito negotiate with the British and Canadian gov ernments regarding he transfer of Southeastern Alaska to Canada by sale or exchange or both.

CEDNG PART OF ALASKA.

Representative Frank O. Smith of Maryland, speaking in the house os representatives some time ago, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press, advocated the cession of Southeast ern Alaska to Canada. Upon first thought Americans will be inclin- ed to laugh at such an outland- ish proposal, but if they will get down their atlases and turn to the map of that far northern ter ritory they will find out, if they did not already know it, that AL aska is composed of two parts, the great bulk of the country, shaped almost like a square, and a narrow strip running off toward the southeast from the mainland.
 That strip has for it's hinterland aot Alaska, but British Columbia, which 1t parallels all along its northern half. As congressman Smith remarked in his speech on the resolution which he introduced to give effect to his ideas on the cession of this strin, there is at present no urgent need on the part of Canada for this portion of Alaska because the vast country which 1t borders is not yet popu- Ious, but it will be well peopled some day, and 1t is MT.

come up at Topeka during the session
of the legislature. Members of the
state tax commission agreed to notify
the clerks of any developments of this
sort about which they may wish to
be informed. Much of the statistical
information used by the state is COL
lected through the clerks offices.
Oscar SWayZe, clerk of Shawnee
county, and a member of the legisla-
tive committee, acted as official host
for the visitors, some of whom re-
manned last evening to attend the

ment state hotel inspector at the
