VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

General Wilds P Richardson, for merly of Alaska, has landed in New York from Russia, wearing the deco ration of the Order of St. Stanislaus. We are not sure what this decoration is, but there is lot of room on the generals chest, and we hope he gets enough to cover it-Douglas News.
 The curfew ordinance will be en- forced beginning tonight The law reads that all children under 16 years of age, unless accompanied by parent or custodian, must be off the streets at 9 o'clock D. m. during the period from October 1 to March 1; and after 10 o'clock p. m from April 1 to Nov. 1. The ordinance says that it is unlaw- full for parents to allow their children to disobey the law, and that the fine of not less than $1 nor more than $50 applies to parents as well as to chil- dren.-Ketchikan Times.
 Alaska is noted as the summer resi-. dence of the Alaskan engineering commission and cannery operatives. Its resources are mining promoters and stock certificates. Its principal drawbacks are James Wickersham and the political party in power. Alaska raises the best crop of politicians of any country outside of Mexico. It is famous for it's government commits sions and the unreliability of their re- ports The chief diversion of it's pop ulation is cussing the road commits sion and paying fuel bills.

The Alaska "sourdOugh," the old timer of the North, understands a stampede. He can tell you everything about it from discovery creek" to the retreating army of disappointed hopes. But there is a new form of stampede that has him guessing, bewildered and helpless. It is not a quest for gold by grimy, outstanding men. It is in- stead the stampede of women north ward
 Girls from every state ip the Union recently have flooded the Alaska bu- reau of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce and Commercial Club with in quiries about Alaska. They write that they inteend to go North to try their luck. They want to know all about the opportunities for employ ment and general conditions. They expect to arrive next spring in the volume of a stampede.
 Are the tremendous resources of the empire of the North responsible for this awakened interest? Or can it be that a recent article in a leading magazine, explaining the shortage Of wives in Alaska. had something to do with it?

ALASkA'S DEMANDS AND CON-
 GRESS

Occasionally, we are told, congress becomes tired of Alaska's constant and insistent demands for appropria- tions. Congress seems to forget that the people of this territory are simply asking the greatest Alaskan landlord to bear in part her share of the cost of territorial development. If the gov ernment would turn the natural re- sources she owns in Alaska over to the territory she would not be troubled any more concerning appropriations If she would make these natural re- sources free for development purposes as were the natural resources of the other Western states and territories she would hear less about money for the North.
 Alaska's greatest period of progress was that between 1897 and 1906, a period during which the federal gov ernment did very little for the North beyond inviting people to come and develop through the operation of laws under which the great West was changed from a vast wilderness to the wondrous empire it is today. That is the period in which the territory gained most of it's population. She got her population and was developed because of the freedom of action that was allowed-a freedom that Western CTS were accustomed to. All the peo- pie asked then was freedom in gov ernment They were not bothering about appropriations.
 Then came the application of Pin chotism. Wherever private enterprise sought to turn, restrictive bars were set up. The flood of inpOuring people and capital was shut off All valves opened only outward There was free egress from the territory
 The federal government can not in a generation repair the damage it has done to Alaska progress. The only thing it can do now is to do the work it prevented private enterprise from doing. That means appropriations.
 If congress finds that tiresome, let it give the federal holdings in Alaska to the territory, and then wash its hands of the whole business. If she will no that, Alaska will charge off her losses through pernicious federal meddling, and start anew. She will no doubt agree to ask congress for nothing else-except the authority to govern herself in her own way. If Alaska had full control of the re- sources within her borders, and her the territory would grow

in population and prosperityt, and she would give the nation trade and com merce that would make her sit up and take notice.-Juneau Empire.

Congressional Notes.

A poll Of congress made on Mon
day indicates overwhelming sentiment
against repeating the wartime prohi-
bition act insofar as it relates to
wine and beer as recommended by the
president. It appears certain, there
fore, that the country will become dry
on July 1 and remain so until "the
conclusion of the war and the ter1ni-
nation Of rehabilitation" The poll
of congress was $50 against the re-
peal and 100 in favor. Some members
of congress are Of the opinion that the
president could declare the war end
ed as we'll as mobilization termi-
mated at any time. In all Bgal mat
tiers, however, the conclusion Of q war
means the official proclamation Of
peace by the president, WITCH cannot
be issued until the treaty is signed
by the enemy and ratified BY the Unit
ed States senate. The prospect is that
rehabilitation will be completed be-
fore the peace treaty is ratified. I'm
der these circumstances, the most the
vets can hope. for IS removal Of the
ban on liquors for period Of few

This spring the season was back
ward until the last week when it sud-
denly jumped into summer weather.
Therefore little could be done until
the cold rains ceased, but when the
weather turned suddenly warm the
grass showed growth almost from
hour to hour and had to be cut all
over the cemetery at practically the
same time. This necessitated a crew
of men being put to work besides the
regular caretaker. Everyone knows
that, at the present cost of labor, this
meant considerable outlay of money.
This was necessary in order that the
cemetery look equally we'll all over
the entire grounds is, equally
we'll taking into consideration the un-
equal conditions encountered. In the
old part of the cemetery where the
sod has been long established the
grass naturally looks we'll at all times.
Also where the lots are not built high
the grass does not dry out so readily.
Strange as it may seem, the women,
instead Of having altogether the hear
ty cooperation of the lot owners,
meet with great deal of Indifference
and in some cases with actual rudeness
and hostility.
Since the first year that the club
took over the care of the cemetery
it has not been necessary to burn ex-
cept in the part where there are no
lots, yet each year there are COM
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1919-05-29

plants that shrubbery on the lots has
been killed by the burning, for which
the club is held responsible. No one
ever seems to attribute this damage
to frosts or droughts. There are also
the complaints about the plants not
being watered. The watering of the
plants is something that can never be
success until some sort of water
system has been established in the
cemetery. Those who see the plants
and lawns at their own homes dry
out in spite Of frequent sprinkling
during the dry spells of the summer,
should use this knowledge in judging
the conditions at the cemetery. ;Ex-
cept in rare cases where the lot owners
pay in generously there is not money
enough paid in to do more than pay
for the cutting, raking and trimming
of lots. The club does not undertake
to level lots, fill in sunken graves or
haul away piles Of sand. Lot owners
must have this attended to or pay
extra for the work. ~
Some lot owners, with the best of
intentions, say they prefer to care
for their own lots. This is natural as
many feel they are paying more re-
spect to their departed ones by CIV
ing their lots their personal attention,
but they should not feel that they are,
by doing this, fulfilling their whole
duty. The cemetery would indeed be
sorry, desolate spot were it not, all
cared for.
A property owner IS required by
law to contribute to the general up
keep of the community. This rule
should apply to the City of Our Dead.
But as might be expected, usually
those who give this fimsy excuse
against paying into the cemetery
fund are those who seldom or never
go near their lots after Memorial
day. Those who really give their lots
their loving personal attention are in
variably among the first to pay into
the fund. They appreciate the amount
Of work that is required to keep the
grounds in good condition and also the
advantage to a well kept lot when the
adjoining lots are kept in good condi-
ton and the whole cemetery made a
place of beauty. Besides the caretakel
for the summer and the extra help
needed at the beginning of the season
there are tools to be bought and kept
in order. So pay in your share to thu
cemetery fund cheerfully and don'
consider that you are bestowing :
favor upon the club women when 20,

Cemetery Ready for Memorial Day.

Cemetery Ready for Memorial Day.
Through the efforts of the Civic Bet
torment club, few Of the lot owners
and other public spirited citizens, our
cemetery is ready for Memorial day.
Only those who have served on the
committee either from the old ceme-
terry association or from the present
club know what amount of work this
represents for the women. 1t means
hours of work spent in looking up the
lists of lot owners, in getting out no.
tees to those who should be interested
and in a careful arrangement for the
spending of the money collected. 1t
means much time given during the
weeks when the women are busy with
housekeeping and other spring duties
in arranging and supervising the work
as we'll as actually assisting in the rak-
ing and trimming. And this work is
often done by women who have no
personal interest whatever in the Gem
etery-have no one buried there.
In preparing the cemetery for Me-
mortal day and in attending to its
upkeep during the summer the club
women find much to contend with both
from human nature and from nature
itself. The soil is sandy, and much of
it being on the slope, it dries out very
quickly so vegetation is rather averse
to taking hold except in the case of
sandburrs and other undesirable
weeds.

Plans of house republicans for keep
ing the United States out of war were
outlined on the floor on Monday by
Representative Martin B. Madden,
Illinois, who recently visited Europe.
AS national policy, Madden made
the following points: Separation from
entangling alliances abroad, such as
are liable to result from the league of
nations; universal military training
for youths; reasonably small army;
maintenance of a reserve among Off
GERS who have returned to civil life.
Maintenance of a navy commensurate
with American commerce. Speaking
Of the league of nations Madden said:
ut is very likely to lead us into
trouble through the defense of politi-
cal integrity and geographical boun-
daries of foreign nations. I am more
convinced than ever, after trip to
Europe, that America Should stand
aloof from entangling alliances"
In conference Of republican men,
bers of the house ways and means
committee sentiment inclined to con-
sideration Of general tariff bill dur
ing the special session. The plan is
to begin hearings following action on
bills repeating the luxury taxes and
providing protection for dyes and
other war industries.
Republicans and democrats sought
to fasten responsibility upon each
other for the failure of appropriation
bills in the last session of congress
during debate in the house on $42,-
100000 deficiency bill for the war risk
insurance and pension bureaus. The
bill was passed. It was discovered
that 100000 allotment checks which
were made out May 1 have not been
mailed on account Of lack Of funds.
To pay for the war within genera
ton at the rate of $1,000, 100000 Of
tn principal of the debt and nearly
81 900 ,00O, 900 of interest thereon each
year, constitutes the basis Of the fiscal
program being framed by the republi-
can leaders of the new congress.
The peace treaty and league Of ma
lions were subjects of further heated
debate in the senate on Monday, with
Senator j. A.. Reed of Missouri, one
of the antiadministration democrats
whaling the proposed league and as
sailing the president. Without naming
him, Senator Reed made it clear that
it was his opinion the president was
betraying the country in his efforts
to bind the United States to the league
covenant. He referred to the covenant
as the "colored league" and declared
that under it Che white races Of the
earth would be dominated by the black
land yellow races.
i On Monday southern democratic
senators, by filibuster tactics, prevent
ed final action on the woman suffrage
amendment. However the issue vii
: probably bob up again today and there
is every indication that it will pass.
