DID YOU WEIGH YOURSELF?

In many public places we see a sign Did you weigh yourself today?"
 So we are minded to ask, Have you weighed yourself today in rela- tion to your job. and if so, how did you size up with the requirements?'
 The story of any successful mans life is the story of mind development, courage, industry, enthusiasm, pa tience and determination. It is en- tirely and solely up to YOU, whether you will remain follower or become leader. whether you will be a men, tai cripple or an intellectual giant. Every position presents numerous op- portunities for personal development and the material with which men may develop.
 A "lfghtweight" is alright in his own class, but he seldom does any thing outside of 1t.
 Even in his proper division, light weight is seldom successful unless he carries a good, stout bunch" in eith- er glove. On the other hand, a man may weigh a few hundred pounds and still be more interest ing than important.
 Of course an employer feels an in- terest in the style of clothes a man wears and his ability as a social mix ar, for such things bear directly on business success. but the big thing which overshadows the rest, is this:
 How much do you weigh, mentally?
 Have you initiative, creative ability. 1ision. imagination-nerve?
 Have you plenty of pep? Do you

MIR. LANE AND MIR. PINCHOT.

It will come as surprise to many that Franklin K. Lane. of the Interior, has incurred the displeasure of MT. Pinchot.
 Possibly no man in times of peace has drawn to himself, in any large section of the country, more bitter animosities than has MT. Pinchot in the Rocky Mountain States and Alas ka. AS Secretary of the Interior, MT. Lane has also been severely censur- ed by the West because of his appar- ent approval of the Pinchot so-called conservation policies.
 In an open letter addressed to MT. Lane MT. Pinchot says:
 "Your plan to turn the natural
 resources of Alaska over to a bi-
 partisan political combination en-
 bodied in the Pittman Bill, now be-
 fore Congress, which bill you have
 been diligently trying to get pass
 ed, if passed would open the way
 for a destruction of our whole sys-
 tenn of National Conservation"
 The Alaskan coal situation furn- ishes the most striking illustration of what MT. Pinchot calls "our whole system of National conservation" In furtherance of this policy, the coal lands of Alaska were withdrawn from entry by President Roosevelt in the year 1906 "in aid of legislation"
 The legislation proposed was the establishment of Federal leasing system and in order that this system might embrace all of Alaska's coal lands a campaign was entered upon looking to the confiscation of the rights of Alaskan coal claimants who had invested their money in an effort to develop the coal mines in accord ance with the then existing Land Of flee regulations.
 This was accomplished and the Alaska Coal Leasing Act has now been the law for two years. No leases have been granted and no coal has been mined under it's provisions. Those who are familiar with coal mining operation have no hope that any substantial development will ever take place under it's requirements.
 It is believed that leases will be applied for by those who know how to make money by selling stock, no matter whether the mining of coal can become profitable under it's pro- vision or not.
 Ten years of "our whole conserva- tion policy" in Alaska has resulted in the abandonment of the work already in progress at the beginning of this period and the complete tying up of Alaska's coal resources.
 MT. Lane has undertaken to deal with a practical problem in 8 prac- tical way. He has failed in the trust which MT. Pinchot @ conferred, and Is advocating the home rule principle for Alaska control, a principle which Is the bulwark of our government. If MT. Lane can effectually destroy the policies which have thus hamper ed Alaska's development he will win the enthusiastic approval of all Alas kans and the commendation of all other patriotic American citizens who nave any knowledge of Alaskan con- 1itions.-Mining Congress Journal.
