ADVERTISING.

In a sense the present high tide of advertising is evidence that the world has achieved a larger measure of democracy, says 8 writer in Col Hers. Where monarchy is absolute, advertising languishes. There is then no need to argue with the populace from billboards, streetcar cards, and printed pages. Tell them what to do, and they do it. An nounce that the emperor eats such and such cornmeal or prunes, and the announcement is enough. But where the people rule, the people must be sold; and the more they rule, the more the methods of sales manship increase and flourish. Those who find themselves irked by the process Of being forever ap- pSdicu to may OIsSoHSi SOtiiS Ci ulio of comfort in the assurance that there will be no advertising in heaven. For advertising, which is, after all, only department of edu- cation, will have done it's perfect work. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor." says the prophecy. On every subject ev- eryone will think and know alike. Until that perfect day arrives, how ever, the probabilities are that we shall see more and more advertising rather than less.

ed railroad building. and was more liberal with money for wagon roads. It showed a disposition to permit the development of the natural re- sources of the Territory: but the heavy restrictive hand of federal regulation and interference was not wholly lifted, It probably would have made far more progress in al leviating the devastation that distant federal meddling had wrought if it had not been that the prosecution of the war diverted attention from domestic matters, including Alaskan conditions.
 The Federal Government cannot in generation repair the damage it has done to Alaskan progress. The only thing it can do now is to do the work it prevented private enter prise from doing. That means ap- propriations.
 If Congress finds that tiresome, let it give the federal holdings in Alaska to the Territory, and then wash its hands of the whole busi- ness. If it will do that, Alaska will charge of her losses through per nicious federal meddling, and start anew. She will no doubt agree to ask Congress for nothing else-ex- cept the authority to govern herself in her own way. If Alaska had full control of the resources within her borders, and her government, the Territory would grow in population and prosperity, and she would give the nation trade and commerce that would make it sit up and take mo- tice.

NEW COMMITTEE OF CONGRESS IS
 HELPING NORTH

The outlook for favorable Alaska legislation in the house of repre- sentatives could not be better if the friendliness of a very capable com mittee on territories counts for any thing, according to George B. Grigs- by, Alaska's representative in Con- gress. who is now in Alaska in con- nection with his contest case. Mr. Grigsby recently informed a repre- sentative of the Juneau Empire that the committee on territories in the house is a very able body of men, and its disposition is to aid Alaska in every way possible. Representa- tive Charles F. Curry of Sacramen- to, California, is chairman of the committee, and Mir Grigsby says he is the right man in the right place so far as Alaska is concerned. All the members of the committee were very greatly disappointed because things developed at Washington which made 1t impossible for them 10 visit Alaska during the past sum- mer.
 Chairman Curry" said Mir. Grigs- by, ''is a thorough Westerner. broad minded. understanding the needs of a developing country, and very friendly to Alaska. He wants the Territory opened up for develop ment and the accommodation of ad- ditional population. He is very much in earnest in his desire to aid and he may be counted upon to help in every way that it is pos sible for him to be of service"
 Mir. Grigsby also gives J. L. Me Pherson, manager of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, great credit for the passage of the Alaska railroad ap- propriation bill. There was no answer to the statement made by MT. McPherson reviewing the work that has been done on the Alaska railroad and the work that needs to be done there" said MT. Grigsby. He had the situation so well in hand and presented it so clearly that all charges and criticism evapo-

QUESTIONS FOR CONGRESS.

The joint national executive com mittee of the American Legion has instructed it's legislative committee to proceed with the utmost vigor in pressing upon Congress legislation the resolutions adopted by the St. Louis caucus, through which the organization first ex- pressed itself on certain matters of national concern. What is Congress going to do about ridding the coun- try of alien slackers, many of whom hold lucrative positions? asks the official organ of the legion. What about lands for those formerly in service who want to become farm erso What about the investigation of alleged cruelties to enlisted men abroad? What about an equal basis among all classes of soldiers for re- tirement pay for disability incurred during the war? What about a re- vision of war risk insurance pEo- viding a method of payment in keeping with the wishes of those af- fected by war risk insurance? These and other demands of the legion's members were made, with the best interests of the country first in mind. They are reasonable. It is Appropriate that something be done about them. It is expected that they shall have been passed prior to the legion's Minneapolis convention lin November, so that the course
 may be clear for any additional suggestions the united men-who- were-in-service may have to present

ALASKA'S DEMANDS AND
 CONGRESS.

Occasionally, we are reminded by the Juneau Empire. Congress be- comes tired of Alaska constant and insistent demands for appropriations. Congress seems 10 forget. says tie coast parer, that the people of this Territory are simply asking the greatest Alaskan landlord to bear in part his share of the cost of Territorial development. If the Gov ernment would turn the natural re- sources it owns in Alaska over to the Territory, it would not be trou- bled any more concerning approprl- ations. If it would make these nat ural resources free for development purposes as were the natural re- sources of the other Western states and territories, it would hear less about money for the North
 Alaska's greatest period of prog ress was that between 1897 and 1906, period during which the Federal Government did very little for the North beyond inviting people to come and develop through the op- eration of laws under which the great West was changed from a vast wilderness to the wondrous Elm pire it is today That is the period in which the Territory gained most of its population. It got it popula- tion and was developed because of the freedom of action that was al lowed-a freedom that Westerners were accustomed to. All the people asked then was freedom in govern ment. They were not bothering about appropriations.
 Then came the application of Pin chotism. Wherever private enter prise sought to turn, restrictive bars were set up. The food of inpouring people and capital was shut of. All valves opened only outward. There was free egree from the Territory but no chance to get in.
 The present administration helped things to a certain extent It start

 MT. Grigsby is very hopeful of the situation at Washington, and be- lieves the house committee on ter ritories will be able to get a good deal of very helpful legislation through Congress for this Territory.
