 Nothing would more surely or com pletely disgust the American Nation with the whole policy of government ownership than to have the taint of partisan politics over the system. That may be one way to defeat what many opponents find 1t inconvenient to fight openly.
 Following the railroad bill is one providing leasing system for the coal fields. We are already on record as favorlng such plan. There are many who honestly oppose It, but 1t is now generally conceded that such c sys- tenn is inevitable, and we believe those now in opposition will ultimately find its disadvantages fewer and less i'm. portant than they now fear. We are glad to note that an lndeterminate per iod of lease Is provided, as was urged by the Mining and Metallurgical so- ciety.
 Must Fulfill Conditions.
 The leases are to be for the whole of the coal in the ground, and the lessee continues in possession so long as he fulalls the stipulated cnoditions. Ger tain rights of revision at intervals of twenty years are reserved to the Sec retary of the Interior, and this Is as reasonable as the usual right to revise rentals in the case of ground leases in cities. The amount of royalty, above a minimum of 2 cents per ton, is fixed by the leasees through competitive bid ding. A small but increasing acreage tax applies during the period that the land lies idle before operations begin, and all funds arising from these leases are to be applied to the development, improvement and betterment of Alas ka, including railroad building. All this is excellent. We like less the re- strlction on acreage, though an allow ance of 2,56O acres Is more liberal than the old 64O.acre limit of the general coal land law. The most important feature of the law to which we would take exception is that making string ent provision against any possible con solldation of claims.
 Better to Have Open Way.
 It would probably be impossible, however, to obtain any legislation at this time which did not include some such provision, and 1t is better to have a way open than to wait indefinitely for the best way. The system pro- posed is workable. It has many good points, and we hope 1t will be prompt. ly put in operation. Alaska has been too long neglected.

ALAsKA's FUTURE (Whitehorse Starr

We made a dozen breaches just be- yond the oceans reaches We climbed and clawed and scrambled OCT an hundred free divides! With a photo to remind us of the dear ones left behind us Let fall the growth of ages in the shroe of human tides! Left the lore of town and city with their wealth of love and pity Left the women and the children, and
 the woman of our dreams Solved the getting and the giving, left
 forays the bond.slave's living And banned and rocked and sluiced
 upon a thousand virgin streams! Through creek and mountain mazes you may trace us by our blazeo Where we parted veils of silence, and boheld new dawns arise! Let loose the dream of ages, that re- pined in golden cages Filled to the rim the worlds heart with gold and gaunt surprise! By our camp fires sodden ashes and our crumbling empty caches By cabins where the Lhe-wolves skulk and sightlcss young caress Where the trail for some had ended, and the last great veil was rended Tie lonely nameless gravcs-the mile stones of the wilderness!

As A MArIoNs MANAoER

The Hon. Woodrow Wilson ,presi- dent of the United States, is good example of what city manager might mean.
 Somebody once called Theodore Roosevelt the managing ecitor of the United States, and the suggestion was not at all inapt, for publicity, in its useful and helpful sense, was one of Mir, Rooseyelt's hobbies. He believed in keeping the people in touch with what the government was doing, and the policy developed large and whole some sympathy and support that was of enormous value to him.
 Mir. Wilson lays equal stre0s on the value of sane publicity, for he is keep ing no unnecessary secrets from the public.
 And he is doing more than that.
 More than any president of modern times. Mir. Wilson has developed the administrative possibilities of the high office to which the American people called him.
 The attitude he has assumed toward Congress, his frequent and open con ferences with the lawmakers, his frank advise on legislative policies, and

MINING PAPER TALKS
 ABOUT ALASKA ROAD

At last the way to the development of the Alaskan coal fields is opening, says the Mining and Scientific Press. The first great need is transportation. Following it's enactment, a law pro- yidng for the leasing of the coal lands is on the administration program, and a bfl for such an act has already been introduced in both House and Senate. The railroad bill is good one in most particulars. Whatever differ ences of opinion as to government ownership of railroads may remain, the system affords the only way out as conditions now exist, and if the gov rrnment is to build railroads in Alaska or elsewhere we think that public opin' ion is unanimous to the effect that the organization and control of the work should be as much like that obtaining at Panama as possible.
 On Business Principles.
 There, Col. c. w. Goethals and his associates made a success because of the recognition of the fact that, if the government is going into business it must recognize business principles. In particular, authority must go with re- sponsibility and a definite plan must be formulated in advance. In the new bill the whole authority and responsi- bility for building the proposed rail- road lines is lodged in the President, and adequate funds are made available from the first. Plans can be made, and contracts can be let, with full assur- ance that the money will be forthcom- ing at the time and in the amounts needed.
 Recognizes Pioneers.
 It is further provided that the gov ernment may buy or lease existing lines, and we are glad to see that some return, at least, is to be made to the pioneer railroad builders of Alaska who have every justification for com plaint at the change in the rules of the game that was made after their work began. We believe in the active development of the Territory. We see no reason why another Scandinavia with it's vigorous civilization, may not be added to the world, and we consider it a proper public enterprise to open the way to such a development. There is just one feature of the new law that appeals to us as particularly bad -that is the provision that no engin- ger may be appointed to a position on the work at a salary exceeding $S,OOO without approval of the Senate.
 No Politics Are Wanted.
 Possibly this is merely childish att tempt to save face" on the part of power loving Senators who, having consented to a big program, are not quite able to do 1t wholly and gener- ously. The limitation, however, smells strongly of hopes for political spells.
