GREATNESS OF ALASKA
Navy and Rear Admirals. More
Iunkets to Stop.
The Tribune Bureau.
BY j. E. JONES

Washington, D. C.-There has
been big row over the creating
OF six vice-admirals of the navy
because of the suspicion in con-
gress that this is desired in order
to furnish social distinction for
navy officers. On the other hand,
the legislation appears to have
been too long delayed since it fixes
the official status of the navy itself.
Senator. Lodge points out that in a
case of concerted action on the
part of naval powers that the
United States would have to take
back seat for the Chinese, Portu-
gese, and Danish navies, as the
vice admirals Of these navies take
precedence by reason Of rank over
the commanders in chief Of our
great Atlantic feet, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they have negli-
gible navies.
1t may be rather disappointing
to young America, but the depart
ment of Agriculture may sound
taps upon the junkets of the prize
winners of corn, canning, poultry
and other agricultural clubs to
Washington. This winter the
numbers almost rivaled the suf-
frage parade and ssregiments Of
unemployed" The department
has taken its stand in favor Of
substituting as prizes, courses in
practical training at agricultural
colleges. The officials are con-
vinced that the change will furnish
more lasting value for prize win
ners, and for agriculture, than is
realized from flying trips to the
capital.
When Secretary William H.
Seward purchased Alaska for this
country, he carried his proposition
through congress with the aid OF
Charles Sumner, the great Massa-
chusetts statesman, who foretold
with exact nicely in a prophetic
speech, of the material riches Of
Alaska. Along its frozen trails
the wealth Of an empire has al
ready been toted into civilization.
The United States owns the great
coal fields of Alaska, and to de-
velop and protect what is perhaps
the greatest deposit in the world,
the government will build thou
sand miles of railroad at an ex-
pense of S35, 900, 600. A privately
constructed railroad in Alaska
would be worthless without coal
leases from the government; and
since no administration would
carelessly make these leases there
is nothing left to do except for the
United States to run the double
proposition OF a railroad, and coal
mining, on its ow account. 1t is
a feasible business proposition
which any set of large business
men would be only too glad to take
out OF the hands of the govern
ment. There has been a storm OF
protest again st expansion in Alaska
which is not strange since terri
torial expansion and development
has always. had rough road.
The honorable Josiah Quincy
OF Massachusetts, warned congress
OF the dangers of the Louisiana
purchase, and told his colleagues
that they had ,no authority or right
to "throw the rights and liberties
and property of this people into
