WITHOUT lresuming to interfere in Great Britain's affairs Uncle Sam has hinted that a settlement of the Irish question would tend to solidify sentiment in this country in favor of the allies. Premier Lloyd-George al ready has announced that if Britain is to fight as a united nation it must pla- cate Ireland and make the Emerald isle a real factor in the war. Thus nothing remains to be done except to settle the question..-a very simple matter indeed.

CONGRESSMAN Dill and LaFOl-

CONGRESSMAN Dill and LaFOl- lette, both of Eastern Washington ran true to form in voting against the selective conscription army bill in the house. Dill is a democrat of the "piff1ing Pacifist" type and LaFollette is a republican of the same type as his kinsman in the senate from Wis consin. Every man has the privilege of voting according to the dictates of his conscience but the eastside con- gressmen probably will learn that their conscience does not accord with that of their constituents.

COORDINATION NEEDED

Recently Franklin K. Lane. secre- tary of the interior, writing for the National Geographic magazine con cerring the work of his department. had the following to say regarding the spirit of national development:
 An intenses nationalism has been the marking note of the past year. Each American has realized with keener consciousness the meaning of this to him. and has sought for a larger view of it's many aspects. and, il possible 70 gain glimpse of it's future To each has come his dream. Ie know that there is more to ma tional feeling than pride in the pos session of land that is rare and valuable or the splendid memory Of a history of struggle for those things o1 q spirit which men call principles. The highest sense of nationality comes with sense of purpose-a sense of common purpose-for the United States is not yet ours in the proudest sense. and cannot be until We are do- ing all that can be done 10 give 10 all it's people and the world the fujl expression or it's highest intelligence applied alike to it's resources and to the life of the people.
 Alaska is. from a point Of settle ,g1ent. a new land. one of the young est. Handcaps to it's being thickly habitated have arisen from more than enc source One of the first of these is. of course. an eXaggerati0n concep- tion of the rigors of the climate: another the absence O1 adequate means of transportation and commu- nication. During the last few years systematic campaign carried on slih- ultaneously by all the towns of the territory has been greatly beneficial in exploding the land of eternal snows and mountains of ice myth, and people are beginning to realize that We have up here things besides placer claims The railroad being built by the government will cut the distance from the interior to the roast from days to hours, and event ua,lv nut the northernmost town with in weekend visiting touch of the States. Thus the drawback of slow communication will be done away with.
 In the history of the development If any country there are. roughly speaking, four stages. First comes the pioneer wno lives off the country's obvious supplies, killing the game for his food and trapping the fur bearing animals for his clothing. Next we become producers of raw materials, grains. minerals lumber, etc. Follow ing this comes the manufacturing stage, in which only the cOarser thing is touched. This eventually expands into wider markets and more varied industries, accompanied by more ecu nomical methods of production and exchange.
 For a large part of Alaska the first stage has passed, although some of the territory has not quite emerged from it yet. But for the remainder of the country the second phase has just sbaen entered. Large tracts of mineral ized ground are untouched, and the ring of axes in vast stretches of for est have never been heard The az riculture of the country is still in its infancy.
 We are just now standing on the threshold of our period of greatest
