FAT one time deslded in the States
There is a constant influx of peo
pie to and from the States anG
Alaska. Those who are today resi-.
dents of Alaska may next year re
,, side in Washington, California, New
York, or Colorado At the same
time, some who are now residents
of the States may before another
Iyear take up their residence in
Alaska
Alaska is now educating boys and
girls who will later use the talents
here developed for the advancement
of Washington, California, New
York. or Colorado This statement
does not apply to any other terri
tory controlled by the United States
Those who advocate state or fed
eral financial support for schools
rightly base their contention on the
fact that education is state or
national function in that the state
and nation as whole are benefited
through the education of the chill
dren of any particular community
Alaska. therefore, rightly lays
claim to recognition under the
Smith Towner bill, even although it
is considered inadvisabIe to extend
the provisions of the bill to cover
all the possessions of the United
States. Delegate Grigsby is work
ing on the matter of bringing the
benefits of the bill to the Territory
Let every school communicate with
him, as well as with Senator Hoke
Smith and Representative H. NJ
ToWner or other congressman who
have manifested an interest in edu-
cation and in the Territory and
urge upon them Alaska's claim.

THE NEWBERRY CASE.

The investigation by the grand
jury of the election OF Truman H
Newberry to the United States SEN
ate. which resulted recently in the
indictment of the senator, was or
aered oy the department OF Justice
and was based on filed complaints
and public charges of fraud and
corruption made by the lieutenant
governor of Michigan and others.
United States District Judge Ses-
sions presided over the inquiry,
which was conducted by Frank c.
Daley and H. Hale Souter, special
assistants to United States Attorney
General Palmer
Witnesses were summoned from
every part OF the state and repre-
sented both political parties. They
numbered into the hundreds and in
Guided both men and women. Chase
S. Osborn, former governor of
Michigan and one of the Republi-
can candidates defeated for the
nomination by Mr.. Newberry in the
primary election, was the first wit
ness summoned.
Truman H. Newberry, secretary
of the navy in the cabinet of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, was declared elected
over Henry Ford, Detroit automo-
bile manufacturer, the Democratic
nominee, in MjchIgan's last senatori-
al election. Mr.. Ford's name ap-
peared on both the Republican and
Democratic ballots in the nominal
ing primary, and this fact, together
with the charge that money was
freely spent in the election of Mr..
Newberry, resulted in the making
of radical changes in the Michigan
election laws by the last legislature.

Mr.. Newberry's expense statement
for the campaign showed disburse-
ments of S176,O00.
The Republican nomination was
carried by Mr.. Newberry after a
very hard fight Mr.. Ford received
the Democratic nomination. The
election campaign became bitter
charges and counter charges being
preferred by adherents of the two
candidates. Mr.. Newberry, who. il
was claimed, spent no time in the
state during the campaign. because
of duties in the New York naval
district, was finally declared elected
by a majority of 1857, days after
the election. The vote was: New
berry, 220,054; Ford, 212,4s7.
Mr.. Ford filed a petition with the
senate at the last session, contest
ing Senator Newberry's right to q
seat A resolution proposed by
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, of
Ohio, asked a senate investigation,
but received no action in the COM
mittee on privileges and elections,
to which it was referred. The reso-
luton was reintroduced in the pres
ent session. but, at the suggestion
of Mr.. Ford's counsel, action was
deferred.

ALASKA AN ASSET.

lSQ1cS SOuipllCu ~ 1HS4
Thomas Riggs, Jr., writes Commits
sioner of Education L. D. Hender-
son. in the October issue of the
Alaska School Bulletin, show that
Federal appropriations for Alaska
for the fiscal year 1919 amount to
approximately $4,000, 200. In this
amount is included an appropria-
ton of s5,250,OO0 for the Alaskan
Engineering commission, and an ap-
preparation of 100000 for min
ing coal by the navy department.
This latter sum was never used and
number Of other appropriations
were not used in their entirety.
During this same year the federal
treasury received approximately
100000 from the Territory. The
Federal Government has. therefore,
received more than two dollars for
every one expended in Alaska dur
ing the year in question. In addi-
ton 10 this direct contribution to
the treasury OF the United States,
the territory has added to the ma
terial prosperity of the nation by
producing and exporting $77,377.-
sos in fisheries products. minerals,
furs, etc. during the year in ques-
ton. 4 portion Of this amount
ultimately finds its way into the
Federal treasury through the indus
tries which these exports make pos
sible in the States. There is nc
one. therefore. who can deny that
Alaska Is paying her way.
Now appears the sequel of the
story. There is now before Con
gress the Smith-Towner Education
bill. This bill carries an annual
appropriation of 100000 600 for
the purpose of assisting the STATES
&c bring better educational oppor
tunity TO the school children within
their borders Alaska is not in

and is left 10 provide for her school
children to the degree that she finds
possible.
The same thing occurred at the
time the Smith-Hughes act was
passed The writer was in Wash
ington shortly after the passage Of
this act and was informed by those
who had been delegated to carry out
its provisions that those who had
the bill in charge before its enact
ment into law considered the ad-
visibility of admitting the Terri
tories to its benefits, but decided
in the negative. Information was
further received to the effect that
it would not be possible to extend
TO Alaska the benefits of any law
which did not also apply to Porto
Rico. Hawaii, the Philippine Islands,
etc l was unable to concur in
the viewpoint which places Alaska
in the same category as the other
possessions of the United States, and
for the following reasons:
The population of Alaska, with
the exception of the Alaska natives
who are wards of the Federal Gov
eminent and who do not contribute
to any great extent to the material
prosperity of the Territory. is of
the same general character as in the
average state. The residents of the
Territory are American in ideals,
in thought, in feeling. and in con-
duct. They have, with the exeep-
ton of portion of the children.

who have spent years in opening up lands upon which they may now begin to enjoy fair and reasonable return on their labor and investment In the face of countless obstacles they have kept their hands to the blow, never faltering, nor allowing themselves to become discouraged by the difficulties which had to be overcome. These men are today unable to deternine whether, under the provisions of the present laws, they will be able to reta their entries on account of this 8O-rod strip clause. And unless the regulations are changed and the abolition of the clauses ef- fected, it is more than possibility that they will lose the fruits of their years of work and self denial
 One of the hardships of homesteadine tails for the homesteader If the 8O-rod strip remains in effect, neighborliness is impossible along the streams of the interior. Daily inter change of ideas, news and general iiiforma- tion is rendered almost impossible by the en- tailed separation of homesteads.
 Then, too, much land must be left un- developed if the strips are left as provided for. Such strips do no good to anyone nor to the district: They serve no useful purpose Altho streams which they touch may be tern ed "navigable" by the regulations, they are in fact navigable for nothing larger than polling boats or smaller motor driven craft
 It is time that the territory busied itself in the matter The local Commercial Club aided the farmers in the former efforts and will do so in future ones But other organi- cations in this district, and other districts should be communicated with and asked to | jOin in the movement United effort is the only means of getting what is needed

THE 8O-ROD STRIP

The appeal of the farmers and home steaders in the interior of Alaska for supper, in their effort to have the 8O-rod strip reg,- lation of the land office abolished should be met with full and free response by the ter ritory. These men have worked hard in their attempt heretofore to get this obnoxious clause of the homestead laws changed and just when it seemed as tho success would crown their efforts, the death of MT. Sulzer, who had been actively in charge of the matter, up- set all their plans and leaves them were they first started.
 There is no defense for the present pro- visions in this respect, at least insofar as it relates to this section of the country. It isn't necessary to prevent the gobbling of land on navigable streams and serves only to hamper the homesteader and make his lot all the hard CT and the task of development all the more difficult
 There are men in this immediate section

entry of the United States in the war it fol- lowed as matter of course that there would be much extravaganza. There was no time to be economical, haste was imperative and the one thing to be considered was not "what is it going to cost?" but "how soon can it be done?" Necessarily plants turning out such orders did not have time to reduce their mode of procedure and manufacture to the basis ot least cost and had to charge accordingly.
 President Wilson's message will be in the hands of congress today It will probably make recommendations for legislation on vari- ous matters which are considered by the Pres ident to be urgent. The temper of both houses may well be judged by their reception of the message If the republicans, having majori- ties in both houses, show tendency to play horse with such recommendations as it con- tains, the country may we'll expect the present congress to legislate from standpoint of par tisan politics only, which generally turns out to be to the disadvantage of the country as whole

STEALING DEMOCRATIC THUNDER

The program of legislation adopted by the conference of republican members of the na- tional house of representatives at Washing ton last Saturday reads like resume of the recommendations made to the last congress by the heads of the various bureaus and depart ments. With the one exception of "investiga- tions of war expenditures" of the adrninistra- tion, there is not a single item on the program which was not recommended for legislation.
 As far as the so-called investigations go, it was to be expected that the republicans would proceed along this line. From them it expects to get the largest part of its campaign thunder" for the next Presidential election And if certain extravagances are not discov- cred in nearly every item of war expenditures it will be matter of great surprise to the en- tire country.
 Under the circumstances surrounding the
