 My suggestion for the relief and development of Alaska is a provision for the appointment of an assistant or deputy secretary of the interior to reside in someone thoroughly familiar with it's conditions and re- quirements, who shall have plenty au- thority to issue mineral and land grants, subject of course to the ap- proval of the secretary

A PLACID DEPARTURE.
Philadelphia Ledger.)

Newman Erb, the financier who by mistake took bichloride of mercury Elst Tuesday night, lies at his home awaiting death with complete calmness. ais transquility recalls that of Sanders Walker, the young Macon banker, who o1ed in May two years ago, and of a who died quietly after a gradual numb ness had crept over them for a week. All these men went out of life in the same spirit in which they lived. Their deaths did not fit tle common belief that, however careless a man may be while in health, at least on the low, dark verge of life he is appalled, at the prospect of leaving these warm pre- cincts to go he knows not where." Medical men agree with Sir William Osler that this popular belief Is err roneous;" and that "as rule a man dies as he has lived. uninfluenced practically by the thought of future life" il
 Mr Erb, drawn suddenly to the brink of the hammantia moenia mundi, IS interested much as usual in the cm- mon, trifilng details of life. And why not? He has poison within him. But have not all of us poison working slow l., uifhin l1s2 What difference that tl.ree years or thirty years, instead of three days, are likely to pass before It grips us. We are all on our way to He six feet under ground, where it Is quiet. Mr Erb's calm Is no more to be won dcred at than that of any other of his fellow voyagers to death.

THE PASSING OF GRANDPARENTS
(Vogue.)

"A man is as old as he feels." con tains more truth than most aporisms. The present generation of American children has been robbed of its grand parents, for the old lady and the old gentleman no longer sit by the fire and spoil their grandchildren. Grandmoth- CT is off to dance or a suffrage meet ing while grandfather plays golf the whole season through. Grandmothers caps are a drug on the market, while grandfathers stick has been banished to the garrett The old lady and her husband feel dozen years younger than their parents felt at their age II is no longer an impropriety for grandparents to do the things once thought twenty years too young for them The grandchildren really miss a delightful something that genuine grandparents used to contribute to domestic life, but, strangely enough, the youngsters have not abandoned the t1aulIlOndl QeleTeICe uu6 SOulh to age It survives as a sort of chiv- alric tradition, though how long 1t can survive in so practical a society as ours, who can guess? Perhaps tthe grand children like 1t better than the grand parents It is paently absurd for all the young people of the house to be constantly on the watch for the com fort and safety of an old couple who decline to grow old, and who come and go with a briskness and vigor hardly surpassed by youth itself. Perhaps the fiction of venerating grandparents will continue indefinitely, unless, indeed, great grandparents shall take the place once occupied by a younger genera tion in American households.

DEFENDING OUR LANGUAGE.
(New York Sun.)


 At this time the people call man a guy" a woman skirt" and dog a mutt" Other samples of the speech of the people are not essential. The truth is that few can say anything II the old fashioned direct way. All have become so accustomed to the use of slang that the common speech Is no longer common: it is become a suri- osity, relegated to the obscure haunts of the "highbrows" and treated with scorn by the workers of the world. While this undoubtedly gives much Joy to Prof. Brander Matthews, 1t saddens some old foggies, who mourn the de- parture of earlier and more elegant ways of speaking, as they mourn the decadence of earlier and better man. ners. Perhaps the two were unrelated, but they were at elast companions.
 It is not probabl that if the young ceased to call their elders "old guys"

 Alaska Is land of magnificent dis tances and every section naturally seeks development before any other. This Is all right Fair competition does good, not harm, but there Is room for everybody in Alaska and the highten- ed effect of sectional jealousies should not gain foothold there.
 Secondly, Alaska should not only send out photographs of it's wonder ful glaciers, the most remarkable in

sons Status at Chevy Chase.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SCN-SU: In
THE ~ Of yesterday II was stated that
President Wilson declined an honorary
membership in the Chevy Chase Club.
As similar statemenN have been made
in many newspapers it is desirable that
all the facts regarding that matter
should be made known. As a membe
of the club. and quoting from the min
utes Of its board OF governors. / there
fore give YOU the facts and ask you to
publish them.
on February 10. 1918. the board ten
dered honorary membership in the club
70 MIR. Wilson, on February is. 1919.
Mr.. Wilson declined to accept the mem
bership rendered, giving as a reason
that IL would he practically impossible
for him TO aVail himself of the cour-
ts~y of the club because of the absolute
ensrossment of public duties.
Immediately after his Inauguration,
through Henry Clay Stewart OF this city.
who was then president OF the local
association OF Princeton alumni, Presi-
dent Wilson Informed the board Of gov
ernors OF the club that he wished TO re-
consider his declinatlon of member
ship In the club. This animation was
submitted 10 the board At "A regular
meeting held on March 10, 1913. There
upon a resolution was adopted by the
board authorizing the president OF the
cluo, Mr.. Thomas Hyde. TO see Presi-
dent Wilson and confer upon him hon
orary membership II he desires to ac-
cept il, II to tender 10 him active
membership If preferred"
At the next meeting OF the board,
which was held on March -. 1918. Mr..
Hyde reported to the board that Mr..
Wilkins la member Of the boardl and
himself called on President Wilson AT
| bis solicitation and extended to him hon

Net 20 De Mlsunderstood 1t Berlin.

Nowhere else in the world, except.
Ing perhaps In the United States,
could there possibly be uttered by Il
high officer Of a Government at war
IA speech like that Of DAVID LLOYD
GEogoE In Parliament, with Its re-
frain Of always too late" and Its
picture Of past. present and future
defeat through indifference at home
to the needs Of preparation.
Such plain talk is characteristic Of
the British culture. 1t Is a sort Of
negative bravado; the bravado of a
fixed purpose. 1t Is needed in Eng.
sland to warn the civilian sluggard
that he must do his part. 1t is needed
10 stir and sting him to cooperative
action. But II ought not to be mis-
interpreted in Germany.
In the most pessimistic expressions
NJ LLOYD GEORGE or any other patriot
and prophet Of woe there Is not the
faintest sign of weakening in the ma
fi0nal resolution to see the thing
through Mt any cost of time or life or
treasure. Indeed. II is likewise char
acteristic of the race that the blacker
the military situation may seem. and
the gloomier the utterances Of re-
sponsible statesmen or soldiers. the
further from the British heart is the
thought Of quitting.
Nor is this the courage Of the
forlorn hope. Whatever has happened
or may happen in the operations on
land. go long as Great Britain's navy
masters the seas she is %invincible: a
fact equally we'll understood ut Lon.
don and at Berlin.
