ALASKA FARMING
(Seattie Post-Intelligencer.l

lSedtue fOSt-lnlellgencer.)
 There has been much uncertainty as to the precise value of Alaska as profitable field for agricultural purposes and production The valleys of the Southeast and Southwestern portions the Territory are rich in the elements necessary to successful crop raising and experiments, far they have progressed ind cate that general farming may be carried there with quite much success as the rich praires of the Middle West It seems now assured that a large farm ing population will intimately occupy these districts But for the country farther north there has been less confidence that the land may be utilized Recent ex permiments show that stock raising may be prohtaby carried on far north the Arctic Circle
 The success of the natives in raising reindeer en- couraged settlers to try their luck with cattle One of these has shown conclusiyey that cattle may be win tered on the native swae grasses when put up as en sage in the ordinary silos in use in the States The summed pasturage is abundant and rich.
 The Department of Agriculture reports the success of settler who imported twenty-six head of young cattle on land close to the Arctic Circle With good pasturage continuing until October 15 the settler vered the ordinary swae into ensilage He filled silo with it and added small quantity of salt
 After October 15 the stock was given the ferment ed of the so says the Department report "Ths they ate eagerly and fat the salty food. From herd of twentysx head the number has increased to fortyfve of the finest cattle be found anywhere At no time since the first winter has any hay been i'm. ported for them"
 The problem of Northern cattle raising has been the winter feeding. With the successful use of native grass es n ensiage and the abundance of summer pasturage it seems probable that the industry may be made profit able.

GROWTH OF NEW YORK

The growth of the City of New York. as disclosed by the recent State census report which has been ac eep,ed by the United States census bureau as correct is continuing at the same remarkable pace that has prevailed for the last two decades. The figures show
 total population of nearly 5.sooooo, and ratio of gain that win make it well The s,oOOooo mark at the next census if it continues. In other words, with each growing at the same ratio that has obtained in Che past New York City five years hence win pass che State Of Illinois in population. Or carrying the comparison further under the same conditions, half dozen years hence there will be people in the American metropolis than in the Dominion of Canada, he most important of all the colonial possessions of Great Britain.
 For the last two or three years. statisticans ey- eryrhere have given New York first place among the cities of tine world in population. For many years pre- yiously she had lead them an the worlds greatest shipping center Now Sir George Paish. financial ex- pert for che British treasury says she is the richest city, and the money center of sbe world He predicts that unless the war Europe should terminate before now seems possible. she will have to be consulted in the placing of any great bank loan in the future by any of he countries of the world The he is not only weakening Che other money centers but 1t is driv- ing the money of the world to New York and causing every corner of the world to become indebted to the banks Of that city

(New York World)
 'I have been in public life for forty years said Elhu Root in ringing speech before the Constitution al Convention. "aud in an that time our State Govern ment has been representative as the Government of Venezuela"
 It is the literal truth. We have not had represen- tatlve government We have had choice of evils be- tween long list candidates nominated by the boss es of one party and similar list nominated by the misrepresentation of another party Even when the dates respectable personal character the elected has been thwarted by Legislature controlled for pur- poses which the peoples purposes and effic- tent administration of the routine business of the State has been made impossible by elected Cabinet com posed Of mere creatures Of bossism.
 By the of 8 driving power not often found in public officials Governor during Mr. Roots forty years has made headway against these obstaces but in the end. Charles E. Hughes baied and driven judicial nfe to the of his party, which defeat disaster badly missed his lead ershlp.
 Two things are needed to give the people a gov ernment more representative than Venezuela. One is system Of party and independent nominations respon- sive to popular opinion; the other. for the more directly n question is such reorganization of the busi- ness of the States as will enable the Governor and not the boss through his creatures in the departments to be morally as well nominally responsible for his administration.
 MT Root is right. The people tired of quib- bles and delays. "The time has come when invisible government must give way to government that is ac- countable and responsible"

COURT JUsTIFms FlRsT DIVISION

The First Division got everything but the money from Judge Jennings the forest suit which he decided yesterday The court plainly intiated that the position of Che First Division members of the Leg sature who coutended that she Judicial Divisions of Alaska are the equivalent of counties. well taken No less plainly did he intimate that 1t the intent of Congress- that the money from the Tongass National forest should be expended the benefit Of the Frs. Division To use the words of the Court: Congress virtually said We grant this money to the Territory of Alaska for the benefit roads and schools in that part of he Territory which produces the money and we trust you so to apply it."
 Judge Jennings held. however that when Congress turned Che money over to the Legislature the United States became the donor of personal trust and n the Legislature had nouted and betrayed the trust re; posed~ suit to correct the injury resulting from the betrayal would have be brought by and in the name oi Che United States.
 The court. also held that the parties bringing the suit had not shown damages personal to themselves and therefore could not sue have Territorial law de- clared unconstitutional
 The courts decision iustifes the position of the First Division but permits the money be distributed throughout the Territory The moral victory is with the First and its actual defeat purely technical.
