EMPIRE OF THE FUTURE

WASHINGTON, April 21. (By maiD-The Department of the Inter- or is batting itself on the back for .ts policy in Alaska, and in a state nent released for publication today, Inder the caption, Alaska, the Elm oire of the Future" gives this en- tightening and lucid description of the westward, ho, movement that fi- nally led to the gold rush to the

 "In 1867 William H. Seward in listed that the United States govern nent buy Alaska. The price paid was S7.2OO,0O0. People scoffed and railed and jeered at Stewards ice oox'
 Last year the Territory exported vice her purchase price in gold alone, six times her purchase price in copper and three times her purchase price in fish. Her total commerce for the year approached $12O,0O0, 900.
 And still Alaska is a land of thrills She has scarcely stepped across the threshold of the vast pros perity that will be hers. The half billion of dollars she has given these United States during the course of the last half century will be doubled many times before the century is closed.

THE NEW BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM

President Wilson's appeal to speak act and serve together the nation may meet the supreme test is that of a General to army the eve of great aud decisive conflict. Only it is vastly more sisnifl- cant any Of the historic appeals of Generals or Ad. mIrals just before the battle It is addressed to the biggest army the world has ever known-to a great civil army of 10000000o Americans
 Time was when the military and naval wars. Today there be behind them great civil army well disciplined and maintaining the ideals of sacrifice and service that animates the men who go to the front or the cause already los. Once the civilian population could indulge itself if chose in the thought that the in sense thing apart Today the duty of doing according to the ones abilities to aid the Nation falls spec ifically and directly every and woman in the land.
 First and most significant in the great divisions that make up the civil army of ofpAmerca4the army that win the for America and tho world and for freedom everywhere the American far mers. The President appeals especially to them for discipline, cooperation. patriotic effort They hold in their hands the issue of battles and the fate of tons. For them to shirk their duty is to desert a post important than that ever held by any great division of fighting army. They must plant. plant, plant every available with foodstuffs for Americans for their Allies against Prussan mili- tarsm. This important part of the army of all Ameri- will surely heed the weghty appeal of the Ma tons head.
 As reads the Presidents significant address he vsualizes tho other grand divisions of the civil army into which America by the very act of re- solves itself The great manufacturing interests employers and employees-pass in review. The min ers-operatives and operators7so important in this matter of The great transportation hosts of the country-managers and workers alike charged with the high responsibility of seeing it that there be Interruption of the arteries of the nations fe The hosts of commerce merchants. mddlemen. workmen9 employees, And, most and ca pable of vast effectiveness the united of America
 And to each soldier in this great civil army the Presidents appeal carries the battle cry of free dam. It reminds him that there is work for every one Of in this fight of democracy against autocracy and the forces that keep unfree. It summons every loyal American give freely of himself the common cause and to remember that are waged today the man woman who is working in nee essary industries at home is helping win the fight.

ONLY ONE PARTY
(St. Louis Repubiicl

1ot' l,ous hepaDnc)
 The eloquent words which Eihu Root spoke in New York when expressing his opinion that while there need be coalition government, there is need of practical coalition among all political groups of the country in support of the Government, followed the next day by the visit of Col Roosevelt to the White House.
 That idea was a visible expression of the idea behind MT Roots speech. No two in the United States have been more vigorous in the disapproval of the President than the former President and his former Secretary, but there is place for the old partsanship now. Leadership must be in the direction of solidarity and this direction these leading and their example is good for the of all parties

 Contrary to expectations, the District Court or the First Division has decided the Congressional delegate ship in favor of Charles A. Suzer the Demo- cratic candidate While there is doubt that the canvassng board counted illegal ballots in deciding that Wickersham had ,been reelected. it was hardly thought possible that the Court would behind the returns and practically make q decision which it the duty of the board itself to render It is not at all improbable that the National House of Representa- tives itself will be called for the final deter imitation of the contest It is of course, the court of last resort in the matter of questions affecting it's membership a 74i #

To have done other wise would have been display of something resemb- ling ingratitude. From the moment that Delegate Wickersham announced his platform of opposition to the President probably influenced by the belief that Hughes would be the successful candidate for Presi dent, the fate of his candidacy sealed He prac cally assured his opponents election by his own ac- tions.

Believing it to be the duty of every citizen to bear his part of the burden of and his share of it's perils, do hereby tender my services to the gov ernment Such is in part the message William J. Bryan has just sent President Wilson.
 It is not likely that Mir Bryan can do much in a military to aid his country. But in other direc tons his capacity for service is immense He can stimulate enlistment by his appeals. He help by his patriotic attitude and words to silence the last whispers of an ignorant peace-atany rrseism in this country.

 Steady Westward March
 "The plans of Kansas and the plac- CTS of California played their part in the steady westward movement of American civilization. Then came the rush to the Klondike That brought the first great throng of Alaska pioneers. Many of them struck pay and returned to the States. More of them have struck something better and richer than pay-they have struck homes The far-famed lure of the North has caught them, and they can wish for no better.
 "Montana was famous mining country and great cattle region. So was Arizona. Now they are farm ing both states with rich results.
 The rush to California in '49 was for gold Since then California has become one Of the great agricultural states of the Union.
 And now they tell us that the farming area alone of Alaska is as large as the combined area of Penn sylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jer- 'ey. Connecticut, Massachusetts, Yer mont and New Hampshire We are told that Matanuska potatoes weigh l pound and a half. We are shown rutabagas that weight from twelve 10 fourteen pounds apiece. We are ed lettuce and strawberries that might have been grown in Virginia

 No Formidable Wilderness
 Alaska is no longer a forniidable widerne5ss h4houghtful men andf wo- men realize that though it is cold Il winter it is warm in summer. Re- ports of actual weather conditions show that it was milder at Seward this winter than it was at New York )r Boston.
 We cannot speak of Alaska as whole any more than we can speak of the Pacific slope as whole. It is just as misleading to speak of the Matanuska Valley and Port Barrow in the same breath as it is to infer that pomegranates will mature in Vancouver just because that island happens to be circled by the same sea that laps the beach at Coronado.
 "A map Of Alaska superimposed upon chart of the United States shows a spread of territory extend ing from the Atlantic ocean at Charleston to the Pacific at Los An geles, from Canada at Lake Superior to the state of Sonora. Her 586, 400 square miles comprise a domain one fifth as large as the United States and quite as varied, both in climate and in resources.
 "Why then, did Alaska lie so long undiscovered' Lack of concrete knowledge, prejudice born of ignor- ance have retarded the development of the territory up to very recent date The effect on the country has been psychological rather than inten tionaI, but the results have been the same
 "Governoment surveyors have dis closed vast riches and the govern ment railroad is fast opening up the country Her coal is declared to be equal to the worlds best, her soil is fertile and her people industrious.
