Some Facts on Alaska.

In his annual report the secretary
Of the interior devotes a very inter-
esting chapter TO Alaska, part OF
which has already been made public,
together with some pungent COM
ments on what should be done to-
ward developing that country. He
shows, for instance, that though we
have owned Alaska for nearly fifty
years, it's population, owing to our
failure OF development. is less than
10000, a growth OF about 1000 a
year. To be sure, the peninsular
was purchased from Russia orig
inally as a protection against foreign
aggression, and we we're not familiar
with its resources for a long time.
But inaction can no longer be ex-
cused on this ground. We know
that, despite our inattention. the
country has yielded in these forty
six years an aggregate wealth from
its mines, fisheries and furs Of $780,
00O, eco, and that this enormous sum
would have been multiplied several
times had the federal government
exercised systematic hand In ths
development. We know, also. what
experts have told us Of the mex
haustible coal supplies, and that
they are needed, not only for the
promotion OF industry in Alaska. but
TO relieve an economic stress in the
United States. II is shown that In
diyidual fortunes have been made
out OF Alaska, even under such un
favorable governmental influences
equal TO the amount we paid for tho
territory. Who would attempt tS
estimate the fortunes that might b
made from its maiden soil. as fertile
for agriculture and horticulture ant
an prolific of mineral wealth as an!
upon the continentg
II Is TO be hoped Secretary Lam
may succeed in bringing about SOM
actual progress toward the proposes
commission form OF government
which, as President Taft urged, h
has again proposed to congress
through the president.

On spotting the DemagOgue.

Did you ever know a demagogue
who did not proclaim his undying de-
yotion to the people?
The fact that they all do It is one
of the confusing factors that makes
Il hard, sometimes, TO distinguish a
demagogue, off-hand. from the real
thing, because. OF course, real states
men also devote their talents to the
interests OF the people. But, after
all. there is medium Of distinction
ust as there used to be in the days
OF old between the genuinely true
hearted and the Pharisees, who liked
TO stand on the street corners to be
seen and heard OF men. And this
also is true and gratifying. that once
the people find the line OF demarca-
ton they make the cleavage sure and
deep.
Lincoln was nowhere as near to
the truth as the author of the old
edage that while YOU may fool some
OF the people some of the time, you
cannot fool all OF them all the time

to say that women alone can destroy IT,

I believe that every druhkard can be
matched with a drunken woman or
sloven OF spendthrift. or one OF habits
equally fatal to the welfare Of society.
I do not believe that women are the
superiors Of men in spirituality / be-
leve that they are more faithful to its
forms, but / think that the tremendous
growth Of fraternal organizations in this
country is an expression Of the de-
termination of men to organize for more
effective and systematic practise day by
day of the spirit Of Christianity The
women were never more IN the majority
as supporters Of the churches OF this
country and the churches were never less
important as American institutions than
they are today.
I am proud of the fact that many OF
the men who subscribe to the double
standard of morality are, in spite Of all
their lapses from what modern public
opinion justly calls decency loving hus-
bands good providers and fathers. | am
even SO wicked as to wonder II, after all
| their lapses may not be due in part to
the fact that the women are so far un-
equal to them mentally and physically
that they cannot give the men a faii
measure OF support in the desire that
n ost men certainly start out with-to bc
otherwise than they are. And | venture
in conclusion, to dare to ask comparison
between these men as fathers, and the
women who transgress the rules OF
morality as mothers

Why Not Let In the Light

Confronted with the problem o.
public or private ownership OF its
water works. a director of tho
Greater Des Moines Committee
writes The Bee asking for informa-
ton about the operation of our
Omaha water works His letter
starts out:
wo have made every effort to secure
the following data from the Omaha
water department or from any other
source. We enclose a blank in hopes
that YOU can supply the information we
wish.
The figures requested are such as
ought to be available offhand in the
records OF the Water board, and, Of
course, nowhere else; yet II seems
plain that the Water board either
cannot, or will not, furnish them.
Is there any good reason why
other cities desiring to profit by our
water works experience should not
be accommodated when they make
respectful and courteous request? {?
Regardless Of the law making water
orks books and reports public doc
uments, and giving the public full
right TO inspect them, why, IL the
claims OF the management are we'll
founded, should II not invite closest
scrutiRy, and help other communi.
ties oppressed by private water
works monopolies to realize the ben
eficent and improved service and
highly profitable investment which
Omaha is enjoying? But merely on
the score OF reciprocity requests fol
information, such as coming from
Des Moines, ought to be honoret
just as we expect Des Moines publi'
officials TO answer our question:
when we have some municipal un
dertaking In which knowledge o
what Des Moines has done may b'
helpful to us.
