women of the country today is to bring pressure upou the Senate to ratfy the peace treaty "llh h0 Covenant of the League of Nations, thus assufihs the peace of the world, and permit the great Ohei Executive of the Nation and the others Tn posluohs of authority to get to work on the domestic proo- lens that confront the country.
 It is true that the peace treaty should nave been ratified weeks ago The President and his Cabi- net and Congress should have been at work on dc- nestle problems the matters to which the President addressed himself that are here referred to- a month ago. That they have not been at Work upon them is no fault of the President He has done and is doing his part. He is ready to begin the other work The President is always ready to work
 If people-laboring men, business men or any others-are impatient and desire assist in hurry ing things solution, let them send letters or telegrams to Senators, urging them to hurry hurry hurry! Raising prices and striking only add to the difficulties of the problems that are to solve, add to the enormty of the task of remaking the social structure Strikes take off the payroll, stop the wheeds of industry prevent the clearing of the decks for action the foundations of troubles They get anywhere.

ALAsKA's DEMANDS AND CONGRESS

Occasionally. we are told, Congress beeome tired of Alaskas constant ana lhsis'eh' uen'a appropriations Congress seems to forget lia' 'ne p nle of this Territory are simply asking the greatest .,osL.r landlord to bear in part her share of the ccst of Territorial development If the GoVerhmeh' would turn the natural resources she owns III AiaS ka over to the Territory she would not pc 'roupieu any more concerning appropriations. If she would make these natural free for development purposes as the natural resources of the o'he Western States Territories she would near less about money for the North.
 Alaska's greatest period of progress was that pe- tween 1897 aud 4lSe6, period during whlch the Federal Government did very little for the North beyond inviting people to and develop through the operation of laws under which the great west was changed from vast wilderness to the Wohdrous Empire it is today That is the period in which the Territory gained of its population She got her population and was developed because of the freedom of action that aowed-a freedom that Westerners were accustomed to. All the people asked then freedom in government. They were bothering about appropriations.
 Then came the application of Pinchotsm. Where ever private enterprise sought to turn, restrictive bars up. The flood of npouring people and capital shut off All valves opened only out ward There was free egress from the Territory but chance to get in.
 The present Administration helped things to a certain extent. It started railroad building, and more liberal with money for wagon roads. It showed disposition to permit the development of resources restrictive hand Federal regulation and interfer- not wholly lifted. It probably would have made far progress in aeviating the devastation that distant Federal meddling had wrought if ii had not been that the prosecution of the di- verted attention from domestic matters including Alaskan conditions.
 The Federal Government cannot in a generation repair the damage it has done to Alaskan progress The only thing it do is to do the work il prevented private enterprise from doing. That 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 do that, Alaska will charge off her losse. through pernicious Federal medding, and start anew She will no doubt to ask Congress nothing else-eXcept tho authority govern herself in her own way If Alaska had full control of the re sources within her borders, and her government the Territory would grow in population and pros perity, and she would give the nation trade and commerce that would make her sit up and take no tice.

HANDSOME FLAG IS
 UNFURLED TO BREEZE
 FOR THE FIRST TIME

The handsome flag presented to the Juneau Public schools by the Free and Accepted Masons of Gasti neau channel was unfurled to the breeze for the first time Friday The entire school was in attendance. As the Stars and Stripes were hauled to the top of the stately flag pole in front of the school building the pu pills were at salute and gave the al. egiance to the Flag
 The flag is 20 by 30 feet in dimen. ion and presents an inspiring sight as the breeze spreads it's folds with the white of the school building as a back ground In addition to the flag the Masons presented the school with a pennant bearing the inscrip- ton Juneau Public Schools The 0ennant and inscription are made in he school colors. This pennant is 70 feet long and will be flown be. meath the flag.
 Owing to the immense size of the flag and pennant, and in order that the colors may not touch the ground, Prof Stanton has appointed a flag squad of six High School pupils who will have charge of the raising and lowering of the emblems The pub lie school children are justly proud of the handsome gift made by the Masons.

Pershing's New Rank

(New York World)
 With eulogy well deserved and fittingly sup plemented by the Presidents written message, Sec retary of War Baker presented to Gen. Pershing his landing commission carrying the highest rank known to the American Army. European states confer higher military titles than that of General, but not of them carries honor distinguished
 Although Washington always General by common consent, he in fact Commander in Chef' by designation of the Continental Congress. The Congress of the United States created for him the rank of General in 1799, but he died before the commission issued. Thus while have had many Lieutenant Generals beginning with Scott Pershing is only the fourth to gain the full rank, his predecessors being Grant, Sherman and Sheri- dan.
 Of the appropriateness of this designation in ev- cry respect there can be no question. It has been conferred, always heretofore, in recognition Of victorious achievements in Without disparag- ing any other soldier of the Republic it is to be said in truth of Pershing that he has commanded mightier armies than any other American, and that the operations successfully conducted by him thou sands of miles away have been scale so stu pendous that few years ago they could hardly have been imagined
 In his acknowledgement of the approval of his fellow countrymen thus and otherwise expressed, Gen. Pershing, with characteristic sef-effacement accepts his honors tribute to the American Ex- pedtionary Forces that he led triumph, and that is another reason why he is the hero of the hour.

TAKE THE PRESIDENT AT HIS WORD

President Wilson, foremost leader of political thought in the world who the most powerful and majestic position among men, says the United States and the world must rebuild its industrial social structure-must meet the issues that the evolution of the race has brought forward for settlement. But he says we cannot meet them until have peace. He says, further. that peace be on an enduring basis, that when sit in conference to adjust conditions to meet the rightful demands Of those in all stations in life may do so without the threatening menace of armed strife and force
 Could hope be held forth from a more promising source to those who sincerely desire to see read tustments that would be based right and justice and practicable programs? Could anything be more reasonable than the premise he suggests? Could any suggestion be advanced that is more practicable Could anything be said that bears clearly the impress of fairness and good faith? What reason can be advanced why laboring men. and all others who seek to improve conditions under which mer live and work should not accept President Wilson at his word?
