CAPTAIN WAUGH
EXPLAINS ABOUT
FOREST FUNDS

Captain W. Fl. W;gugh, president of
the Alaska Wad commission, stated
that no money will be expended on
road work in Alaska by thg forestry
service from tie funds provided by
congress. until the existing laws are
changed and until way conditions are
more settled. This VIII not Interfere
with the road work being done by she
territory or the wal" department
'Tnere are three things which f0n-
tribute to the decision not to do work
in ALASKA this. year." said Capt.
Waugh I'm the first place tine exist
ing laws of the territory. do Iot aA3w
the territorial boards to- eXpeRd money
through the road commission. Umier
the laws of congress tlFps forestry fund
must be expended under the direction
and supervision OF the, road commas
sion and the territory must expend an
equaF sum through thu, same source.
Until the law allows the telritGhaI
board to expeHd mOney through us
there will be no way in whic IN the Tor
estry fund can De expended
''8nOther fac9or is the difficulty
in securing labor to work on the, roads,
the high wages demanded and the ex
cessive cost Of supplies: A third rae
tor is the fact that none Of our pro
jecrs will advance tine, cause or the
United States in the present waE In
fact, too much road work will take
men from other work which is Of
more advantage to the ooungry at
large:
Until these three conditions are
corrected the forestry money Will be
held, in the treasury andl Will not be
spent At the present time Alaska
has a credit of $4,000 im the forestry
fund which was to have been expended
this year. On July t, THIS year, $64 900
more viii be added and $4,000 per
| year from now On for a period of ten
years. The money will be expended in

The idea of community singing, as
shown at Fridays patriotic rally
of the school children, meets with
the same difficulty in Cordova that
it has met with at other places-the
people cannot sing the old songs "be-
cause they do not know the words, "
Someone has remarked that when 1t
comes to public singing of our national
anthem we are a nation of ''tum-te-um-
tuners" 1t is surprising how few OF
us know the words of 1.-THE Star

meekly eating out of his hand If not
then they would at least respecE the
fighting qualities of the man
They say at Washington that Secrs-
tary Baker is quite fond Of comparing
himself to the great Stanton in at
least one particular: that it is his
habit to point to a bust of his illus
tTious predecessor and say that he is
as adamant in the flesh as Stanton is
in the bronze. Good for Baker! How
ever, he would make a better hit with
the American people if, instead of at
tempting to assume the cold com
posture of piece of statuary, he would
cut loose some day and exhibit him
self in hot blood. Suppose for in
stance, that some morning at the
breakfast table we should read how
Secretary Baker lost his temper the
day before, INDUCED in a physical al
tercation with some troublesome visit
or, and after having soundIy thrashed
him, had kicked him out of the office
in the old-fashioned American man
ner, what pleasant surprise it would
be. And the chances are that we
would all be then tempted to warm up
a little closer to the man whose high
position, at least, commands our re-
spect.

WHERE BAKER FALLS DOWN

1t was during the stirring campaign
tor the presidency in 1856 that one of
the FoTty-niners remarked of General
John c. Fremont, the Republican can,
didate, that he was a millionaire who
never made a dollar, a general who
never fought a battle, and a statesman
who enever made a speech" This pic
turesque appraisal of his character
was given wide circulation by the enc.
mics Of ''The Pathfinder" and did
more damage to his chances for cleo
ton than all the other issues of the
campaign combined.
Is it not possible that the suave sec
rotary of war makes a similar impress
sion upon the country? Certain it is
mat there is no well-defned prejudice
against Mr. Baker. His fellow citizens
like him after fashion; they take him
to be clean, conscientious and high
minded, but they just can't seem to
work up any enthusiasm over his ad-
mlnistration. Perhaps it is because
Secretary Baker does not impress the
country as being fundamentally a fight
ing man. Even the extreme patience
and politeness-both admirable vir-
7tues-which he manifested towards
his critics during the recent investiga-
ton, did not appeal to those who
heard him, or to the popular fancy
Right or wrong in his position, the
American people expected their secre-
Hary Of war to stand by his guns and
fight his critics in a manner becoming
any red-blooded man under fire In
cur opinion Mr.. Baker overlooked a
splendid opportunity to show sign of
lighting blood in his makeup that
would have struck fire in the popular
imagination had he dared to show his
teeth to the committee.
The American people want fight
ing man in that position. When they
think of what their secretary of war
should be they unconsciously call to
mind Lincoln's great war secretary
Edwin NJ Stanton. He was a head
strong, hard-fisted erecutive-a veri
table human dynamo who did things
while others were dreaming of them
1t was Stanton who supplied the chief
driving force of the federal govern
ment in it's conduct Of the civil war
Lincoln appreciated his peculiar fit
ness for the job and seemed cOnten
to give him a clear track and loose
rein. Can anyone fancy the strenuous
Stanton amiably subjecting himself t.
the caustic criticisms of senate in
vestigating committee, and conducting
himself as though the whole affair wa
merely a friendly contest of wits to b
played in parlor fashion? Not much
Had Stanton been in Bakers place tn
chances are that he would have throw
away all policy to the winds an
fought his critics every inch OF tn
way. Also, he would have INDUCED i
the most picturesque and pugnaciou
