The Dierks Banner, in the course of an argument in favor of road construction, says: There is no argument against good roads. The spirit that is opposing them is the same spirit that crucified Jesus Christ-selfishness That we can have no development without roads the past has fully demonstrated. We say unhesitatingly and advisedy that the ben efits that would accrue from good roads would be far in the excess of the price though the cost should double what we anticipate it will.

Forty years ago there was some excuse for bad roads, for our country was poor. Now 1t is rich and there is no excuse A good road Is always to be desired and is a source of com fort and convenience to every traveller. Good roads attract population as we'll as good schools and churches Good roads improve the value of property, so that it is said that a farm lying five miles from market connected by bad road is of less value than an equally good farm connected by good road A larg- CT load can be drawn by one horse over good road than by two over bad one.

\ REAL LESSON ON THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

There is a real lesson on the value of good roads in a news item sent out from Mena re- gently.
 w. T. Dawson, citizen of Polk county who happened to reside in a community where there was considerable opposition to a certain road was asked to sign petition against the road. MT. Dawson refused to sign the peti- tion against the road, and said the reason he would not sign it was because he lost $10 a bale on several bales of cotton because he could not haul the cotton to market at time when prices were high. When the price of cotton was up the roads were so bad he could not haul it to market, and when the roads got better the market was down and he lost $10 a bale on his cotton.
 When the farmers begin to see the roads problem as Mr. Dawson sees it. there will not be much opposition to good roads.

 We cannot use the wasting wa , ters of our therapeutic springs eiv-
 en by nature to cure our ills and
 maladies.
 1 All resources of nature are closed
 to us for the benefit of our bureau
 cratic overlords; and we, in fact,
 can do no worthwhile thing not hedged about with reservations and restrictions and usurpations of pow Ter designed to paralyze initiative, discourage effort, nullify enterprise, blast hopes, and further tighten the Istrangling grip of bureaucratic fn- gers upon our throats.
 And these things are put upon men in whose veins flows the blood
 of those who endured the rigors of Concord and Lexington and Valley
 Forge. To these conditions men of that blood will not much longer sub
 init; ond would not have submitted thus long save for their deep-seated
 love for the land their ancestors established in liberty and justice and righteousness and abhorrence of tyr amy.
 The situation in Alaska is becom- ing tense; the future is dark with forebodings. Hearts that but yes terday were thrilled and exalted by tales of Americas traditional justice are wondering today if it has be- come as a sounding brass and d tinkling cymbal, serving no other purpose than to cloak designs against popular rights and perpetuate the  sinecures of political parasites,
 We Alaskans are under no delu- sions as to the difficulties confront ing us if bad comes to worst Men nowhere are more cognizant of the physical power of the United States or of its capacity to crush our weakness at a blow. But with all its greatness it has no power of might alone, to stay the ger imitation in the inmost heart of Alaska of the fateful question: Would 1t not be more desirable to be crushed in honorable strife for right. for justice, and for liberty, than to continue in virtual slavery and be slowly done to death by the stranglers who have ruined our past, who render the present fruitless, and make our fu- ture hopeless?

ALASKA's CRY FOR FREEDOM.

It is high time, writes Thomas B. Drayton, of Seward, in an article contributed to The Dearborn Inde- pendent, that someone were drawing aside the curtain to permit glimpse into the heart of Alaska; that Alas ka which but at noon today, as it were, proved the sterling quality of its citizenship, its lofty idealism, and concurrently its loyalty to the United States, by giving a higher percentage of its man-power to mili- tary service, and a higher percent age of its wealth to the money needs of the Government and its allied agencies, than any other geo. graphical unit of the American Un- ion.
 All of this Alaska gave. gave freely and quickly, and gave in the expectation of giving more, to the Government that during the pass ing century has pressed upon its people species of oppression, tyr amy and injustice compared to which the wrongs of the thirteen American colonies were trivia! and inconsequential.
 The mother country to which we Alaskans paid this tribute of our devotion permits bureaucratic au- tocrary entrenched at Washington City to own. brand and herd us as so many cattle; and. as such, to ruthlessly sacrifice our material in- terests, our labor, our happiness, our very physical comfort, in the ostensi- ble interest of a mythical or prob lenatical people Of a future age, but actually and in very truth for no other reason than to provide permanent official employment for bureaucratic favorites of the sue cessive political administrations Of the United States Government.
 This intolerable condition has re- suited in driving from Alaska more than one-half of its population with in the past ten years; and has pro- duced, a. its natural and logical fruit, two distinct but closely sym pathetic concepts of political policy in the minds of those remaining in the Territory; to one or the other of which every civilized white man of bona fde Alaskan citizenship sub- scribes openly or in his heart.
 The first concept. in the order of notice in this article. is exempli- fled by spasmodic expressions of an aspiration for membership as state in the American Union. The ad- herents of this concept are few, they know that statehood is i'm possible for under Alaskan condi- tions as they exist today; they look with uncertain faith for statehood in a future more or less remote, and hope that the monstrous injustice heaped upon us may itself mean while be its own undoing and pro- vok9 redress through action of the American Congress.
 The adherents of the second, or more radical, concept are convinced beyond the power of mere argu- ment to alter their conviction that statehood now or later is an idle dream, a fantasy, a thing absurd. These latter are our radicals in em- bro, type yearning for relief by any means, and willing, to engage in any undertaking fairly promising amelioration. Their plans are as yet unmade; their political convic-
The Nenana daily news., 1920-01-10

tions as yet inchoate and unyoiced but within their hearts and minds is the latent thought that in po- litical independence lies the only hope of Alaska. As an independent sovereign state the future would hold something for the Alaskans and their children; as a political de- pendency of the United States the future of Alaska is hopeless.
 The men holding these as yet largely embryonic views are of the type to whom life is barren. con- temptible and not worth while with out decent share of civil liberty :; men who, having cast in their for tunes with this great Northern land. are willing to 20 through, come what may.
 Not only they, but all other bona fide Alaskans of intelligence meet upon one common ground of con- viction: that ultimate ruin is our inevitable portion unless we break the shackles of bureaucratic Wash ington government by one means or another. There is no divergence of views on that point, however widely Alaskans may differ as to ways and means for it's accomplish ment, or however much the favor hunting Tories maqsuerading as AL askans may apologize for the deeds or excuse the motives Of our op- pressors.
 Alaska has borne the burden of American political domination Tor half century and more, with the net result that today it is governmental ly hopeless wreck. and. despite the heroic sacrifices and unremi.- ting toll of our peop'a, and indus trlally barren. compared to whs, 1t inevitably would have been under any fair or equitable or intelligent system of civil administration.
 As direct result of American bureaucratic government in this land of unmatched natural rich ness, our once-thought inexhaustible aquatic treasures are on the point of eXtinction; and in consequence many members of both our white and native population will witness the end of their chief food supply and face the spectre of starvation during the passinge decade.
 The illimitable stores of coa! lying useless beneath our feet are denied to us, and may not be taken evel to warm our bodies through the rigors of this Arctic climate, because Washington bureacracy wills it oth- erwise for its own official and po- litical advantage.
 For which sole reason, and that alone, We cannot draw the wasting oil from the natural storehouses within our plains and valleys to re lieve the long-houred darkness Of our Far Northern homes;
 We cannot use the timbers decay ing in the wilds about us to build structures for our comfort and con 
 We cannot harness the power of torrents bounding useless ly to the sea to facilitate our enter prises ore bring relief to our wearied 
 We cannot employ the immeasura- ble wastes of land on every side to fill the needs and further the of our people;
 We cannot dig the metals neeaful

lance was at Capleville. Here rs chill
dren were treated, i76 teeth filled and
Sc extracted. Previous TO this II spent
two weeks at Treadwell school, where
large number OF children was treated
Thus far, Memphis Is the only city
In the South having dental ambulance
service. II Is the only city where such
care and efficiency have been shown
by any agency toward bringing about
greater care OF teeth OF children. Sci
ence having proven that many diseases
are directly traceable to bad teeth, the
tuberculosis society became sponsor for
the movement here. Nominal prices

dren are able to pay These prices run
from 10 cents for extraction to filings
for % cents. In other cases the work
Is done free and complete attention
given to children.
