DECLINE IN ALASkA.

The census report Alaska shows drop of II per cent in population during the last decade.ss In view of the boom which Alaska was eiijoyipg ten years ago and the un- doubted ywealth of resouries in the country which onis awaits development, this is sur prising and disappointing. The explanation probably lies in the labor shortage and high wages in the States There has been little temptation to go to Alaska when profits both for business and for workmen were so easy to obtain 'under the comfortable living conditiaa'itt home. The fact that the price of soId f<ed at the hints, has remained sta tionary while the prices of labor and com modites have doubled must also have good deal to do with Alaskas decline. Gold pro ducton has decreased alarmingy in recent years Authorities say that the cost of labor and materials make gold mining compara- lively unproftable under present conditions.
 But thre is something unnatural in situation which draws men away from the pursuit of virgin wealth by the development of the resources of country. The world needs what Alaska has In ner there must be a readjustment of condi- tons which will start Alaska on the upgrade again.

Ministers And Their Sons.

For a long time ministers sons
have been proveroially set forth
as being especially subject to
temptation. This is a Islander,
and the facts will prove it. Ro-
ger Babson, the well-known stat
istician, is quoted as saying:
"The business and other lnstl-
tutions Of this country are run by
not more than two per cent OF
those connected with them, and
would fail if this two per cent
were withdrawn. Of this two
per cent four per cent are the
sons of bankers, eight of business
men, twenty five of educators and
thirty Of preachers

Of our people of all faiths. One
of the great dangers to national
life is the absence Of this moral
training in so large a number OF
homes and the absence of rea
homes in the lives of so many OF
our boys and girls.

suggest that business men dea
