Making It Interesting.

"And the real provision that would
make 1t worth while is one making
it fine of SIS to drive an automobile
an inch without drivers license,
and half of the fine to go to the in
former. And the same for violating
any rule.
IF these Keokuk policemen got
S12.50 for every conviction, I believe
it would wake even them up enough
to see an automobile on the wrong
side of the street at an intersection
or somewhere else, and a delivery
wagon refusing to give half the used
road to let a car past"
He said further that this matter
will be taken up in earnest by few
keokuk motorists-not the Automo-
bile club-before snow flies and an
effort made to put 1t through.

who have had all sorts of accidents,

GIVE US A CHANCE
(Nenana News)


 Alaska is not being given fair chance to deVelop By that we do not refer particularly to the manne in which the development of the Territory mas oee1 roughock by the red tape of scattered bureau ac ministration Nor is it desire to burden Wasn ington with our troubles at a time when the natio is engrossed with more serious problems. We merel mention the fact that Alaska is getting the wors of it by way of directing attention to the possibie of development in this country.
 We boast of the fact that in single month las year. our exports totaed more than twenty million dollars and that the value of our productions slhc 1887 exceed seven hundred millions. Ana yet aeye opment honestly may be said to be standing still We are not receiving the benefit from this wonderful pro duction As Manager McPherson, of the Alaska Bu reau Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercla Cbb recently expressed it, country that pro duce and ship to the outer world products in on month of value far greater than all Of Seattes III dusries is capable of great and prosperous develop ment and of supporting large population The rlc resources Alaska he points out, are being creamed while nothing being done toward replenishing or as surfing a continuation at the rich overflow.

LIBERTY WITH A STRING

Apparently the BoshevM believe in religious lib erty with string it. Under the recent decree establishing the right of all Russians to worship as they please and dsestablishing the church, the gov ernnlent also seized all property belonging to rel1g ous organizations of all kinds and opnged them all to become tenants will of the state, while no re lgious society may hereafter acquire property The decree also forbids religious teaching not only in the public schools but also in private schools except un der certain conditions.
 It is not difficult how this policy ma! make an immense amount of trouble if the Boshevlki continue in power. The Russians are capaple or fierce religious fanaticism, as shown py thelr occaS ona1 outbursts against the and by the conduct of some of the secrets which have sprung up there

for the government in a vigorous prosecution of the war and suggestion that the administration shall avail itself of assistance of the ablest men in the country.
 This is patriotic and in line with the stand taken by the party in Congress. It is to be assumed that the committee in calling upon the administration to consult with the ablest men had able Republicans particularly in mind The President has shown dis position to meet them half that point by call ing into the recent discussion of war measures at the White House number of Republican leaders in Congress All this goes to show that there IS no danger of any partisan break in the cooperative effort now going forward in Washington to win the war.

PROTECTED

Every American soldier lost the Tuscania was protected by United States Government insurance, whether he had taken out policy under the special insurance Those who had not applied protected by automatic insurance, which Is pay able to wife, child widowed mother The auto. matic insurance nets $4,300, $25 a month for 240 months In addition, there is the regular government insurance, which many of the undoubtedly have taken out the limit which is s10OO0 for each in dyidual paying s5750 a month for 24O months.
 The automatic insurance ceased February 12 Should transport go down today only the men who had taken out the regualr insurance and paid the essary premiums would be protected. This does not strike the person fair. While the limit set in order to get all the to to take the regular insurance, Congress will probably take steps protect those who through careessness failed to do The automatic insurance should continue until every man who offers his life for his country is pro. tected by the other kind

WANTS RESOURCES DEVELOPED

Delegate Suzer along with other Alaskans af peared before Congressional committee the other day to urge the extension of the bill providing for the promotion of mining coal, prosphate, oil gas to Alaska. Under the present leasing law the only coal that will be opened in Alaska will be what the government undertakes to mine and small mines where the coal be used locally It is false economy to allow the coal to remain in the ground and the oil to run to waste in the and then port fuel oil and coal from the outside where they badly needed. It means taking up tonnage space needed for and other purposes It is not conservation but criminal waste and inefficency of the worst kind The rule applies paper pulp development and to water power. Parts of the jun gles of Africa and South America furnish good ples of conservation such has been applied to Alaska The Great West would still be a wilderness if it had been subjected to the bitter medicine. The voices of the wild will be stilled by the hum of industry and made productive for humanity until removed the restrictions which Delegate Sulzer is trying to get eliminated The sooner the task is accomplished the better it will be for every living in Alaska and thousands who will quickly follow.

WATCH VALDEZ GROW
Valdez Miner)


 The action taken at a meeting of the cit, council, looking to the establishment of a place fo small boats to tie up is one of the greatest step taken in securing the immense trade of the min ing districts of Prince William Sound. Thousands O dollars have been lost to the city by residents O. Elamar and Port Wells taking the longer trip to Cor dova account of better protection their crafts Every dollar spent by the council accommodations for small boats will be returned a hundred yes, { thousand fold No city is built up by the trade of the deep steamers. The mosquito fleet is the back bone of commerce Hundreds of fishing boats and vessels would be in harbor today had the, place to tie up row of pling driven the edge of the bar. with boom stick on each side would give shelter in the heaviest float several hun dred feet long could be constructed for a thousand dollars. The resultant trade would soon pay for it The miners and prospectors and ranchers and the boat prefer to to Valdez but are forced to leave their craft exposed every gale that blows The council is on the right tack and should receive the support of taxpayer Now is the time to go after the trade. Once 1t gets away us it is hard to coax back Every citizen will be the benefactol of this wise move on the part of our enterprisine mayor and council
