ALASKA COAL LANDS
 LIKELY TO BE OPENED
 SOMETIME THIS SPRING


 That efforts will be made to have the Alaska coal lands in shape to be operated under leases this spring is indicated in the announcement from Washington that a final draft of the rules and regulations is about to be submitted and that George Watlkin Evans, the Seattle eng.neer, who has made a number of examinations of the Alaskan fields both from the scientific and the commercial stand point. has been requested to so to Washington for conference with Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, according to a signed article by J. J. Underwood in the Seattle Tines.
 Evans admitted that he has been summoned to Washington and that he will file his annual report on the Matanuska and Boring River fields while there. The preliminary report already has been approved. These reports divide the fields into work able areas.
 Eastern people are coming to req l'ze that the Alaskan coal fields will present jus as many difficulties of operation as other fields" said Evans. "and that capital invested in them should be given just as much protec- fion

The baron frankly admits that Japan looks to Asia

PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

Almost from the beginning of our national life the
problem of the relations between the president and con-
press has been most interesting one All agree that
there be little efficiency in governmental action I'M
less there is something like teamwork between the TWO
branches of the government The question has always
been as oow this could be best attained The president
has had to ask how much he could afford to yield IN order
to establish harmonious relations else to determine how
far he could rightly go in driving congress- we have
had presidents Of both types Patronage has been used
to win support for presidential pohces AT other Tunes
presidents have appealed to the people for support as
against congress.
On the other hand members of the legislative branch
have frequently had to decide to what extent they were
bound parsans to support administration policies as
the policies of the party to which they belonged 1t is
mistake to suppose that there is anything novel in the
theory that president is not only chief executive but
party leade1a sort of prime minister President Jack
certainly held this view. So did Presidents Cleveland
and Roosevelt 1t is not likely that any clear deimtaon
between the two departments will ever be effected For
tmately the problem is that can be left msolved
without any serious harm to the country.
The question again presented by the resignation
of Secretary Garrison 1t is precisely the question
that in connection with the attempted resignation
Of John Hay secretary of state under the Mckinley
administration Mr.. Hay disguised with the senate,
and at it. because of its rejection of the first Hay
Pauncefotc treaty. Dcspairng of being able to work
with the senate he offered his resignation President Nc
Knley refused to accept it, and Mr. Hay-happy for the
counry-conscncd to remain in the cabinet. The cases
are, to be sure, not wholly parallel for Mr.. Garrison
complaint was directed against the president as well as
against congress- lie felt that Mr. Wilson had not used
his power he might have used to put through the adj
minstTation plan for the army.
But all that the effect has been greatly to i'm
prove the relations between the president and
What we yet to learn however, is whether the interests
Of the country have been sacrificed in establishing that
relation-whcther the president has paid too great
price. There is any trouble in getting along will
congress if the president is prepared to surrender to it
and this has been the plan followed by presidents
Mr. Wilson showed himself better politician thar
when he defended congress against the attack made
by Mr. Garrison Now that he has strengthened his posi-
ton and greatly increased his influence with the legsa
tive branch it is to be hoped that he will them wise

American Ideals and Weaknesses.

American Ideals and Weaknesses.
Opinions may differ materially as TO
what is the leading motive in the life
of the average American and what the
leading ideal We have been charged
with being nation of materialists,
bent on getting money, getting money
all the time and all we can of it-not
to save particularly, but to spend. Our
aim is not to save more, but to earn
more. If we cannot have what we
want, we do not do without. but work
harder for 1t. We believe in gauging
our pleasures by the cost and not the
satisfaction we get out of them. When
we make up our minds that we have
been foolish and frttered away our
possessions, we try to recoup, not by
spending less. but by earning more.
1t must be admitted that we can. as
people, make money. We can save
only a small part in comparison with
other nations, but we do have the
knack of getting IT. The salaries paid
our officials and leading business men
would make some European princes
envious. and the wages OF American
workmen have attracted hordes of
European laborers to our shores.
No one denies that we make money,
but is that the leading motive in
American life? The questions What
in your opinion are the leading ideals
of the men with whom you associate ?'
and what do you consider to be the
chief points of weakness in American
life" were put to about one hundred
leading men-lawyers. bankers, edit
ors. business men, farmers. scientists
and others, and the replies show that
forty-six consider service to ones fell
lows to be the leading ideal, while
twenty -eght think the making of mon
ey for selfish enjoyment Of personal
power is the leading motive.

piled:
our ideals are:
Honesty and integrity.
"Intellectual achievement.
Beauty in art and music as a solace
in life.
Domestic happiness"
A congressman had this to say:
"Extravagance in living. Most Amer-
leans prefer to spend money rather
than not to spend 1t, and therefore very
many spend money foolishly and upon
things which were better not purchas-
ed.
The feeling that what we do ought
to meet the approval Of other nations,
for example, rather than Our own ap-
proval This is because as a nation
and as individuals We are still rather
more vain than proud"
A Boston banker wrote:
The passion for getting on, with
accompanying failure to see what one
is getting on toward
Pride in power and in the owner

the fnality of material.

A bank examiner gave this list;
"Materialistic tendencies.
Striving for effect at the expense of

Lack of simplicity.

CARE OF THE BABY

It, applying to the chief Of the chill
drens bureau, United States depart
ment of labor, Washington, d. c.
The baby may not gain in weight
during the cutting OF his varloun
double teeth, but it is not a serious
matter to have the weight remain sta
tionary for a short time. The baby
will quickly regain the lost ground
when he is we'll again, and eating his
full rations.
The mother should never allow any
one to persuade her to give the baby
patent medicine, such as soothing syr-
ups to relieve the pain of teething. II
they do relieve it they probably contain
opium in some form, which IL much
worse for the baby than the suffering.
1t is a safe rule never to give medicine
OF any sort to baby, save that which
is ordered by a doctor.
Care of the First Teeth.
From the time when the double
teeth make their appearance through
out life the teeth should have daily
care For the baby a very soft brush
is necessary and the utmost care
should be taken not TO injure in any
way the delicate tissues of the mouth
when brushing the tiny teeth. After
the baby has several teeth, the mother
should see to 1t that no particles OF
solid food are left between them after
the baby has eaten. II the first set OF
teeth is we'll taken care of. the second
set will be healthier, and in addition
the child will have been taught good
habit that will last all his life.

Teething.
The baby usually cuts his first tooth
when he Is six to eight months old
and by the end OF the first year has,
ordinarily, six teeth. He should have
IL teeth at IS months of age; Is when
he is two years old. and before the end
of the third year the entire set of 20
milk" teeth
The process OF teething in a healthy
baby cannot properly be held respon
sible for the illness commonly attrib-
uted to IT. The first half dozen teeth
rarely give the baby any pain, but as
the double teeth appear there is occa-
sionally at the same time little dis
turbance, such as loss of appetite and
possibly evidences of slight Indigestion,
which may last for a few days. But II
the disturbance is more serious than
this, some other reason Ger It should
be sought.
Teething takes place through the
weaving period and during the second
year, when mistakes in feeding are so
often made which upset the baby's d.
gestion, even If they do not make him
seriously i'll. On this account II is often
unjustly blamed for making the baby
| sick, when the real reason lies In the
fact that he was overfed or improperly
fed or perhaps that the weather was
very hot.
