Reprinted from The Seattle Spirit)
 Indication of the growing appre- citation of the press of the nation of Alaska's problems and the necessity for giving the Territory home rule is seen in the compilation of edi- torial comment on Alaska as pub lished in the Literary Digest in its issue of August 21. In papers as widely separated as Knoxville and New York are statements that Alas ka holds the solution of some of Uncle Sam's troubles, namely, coal, fuel oil and paper pulp, and the editors quoted give unanimous ap- proval of the Territory's claim that it be freed from the burden of fed eral bureau control.
 The Digest's article in part says:
 "Alaska needs less governmental regulation from Washington and Uncle Sam needs more coal, wood pulp, fuel oil, and other essential material supplies from Alaska. These seem to be the outstanding facts emphasized by the recent visit of Secretary of the Interior Payne and Secretary of the Navy Daniels to our Northern Territory The secre- taries, reports J. J. Underwood in the Seattle Times, found that by establishing a coaling base midway between the Orient and the United States on the Aleutian peninsula, the Shipping board vessels plying be- tween Seattle and the Orient could save a thousand tons of cargo-car- rying capacity on each voyage, or enough to. enable each ship to pay for itself through increased earning capacity within a period of ten years. This would also make It unnecessary to ship coal from Virginia and Penn sylvania to the Pacifie feet Fur thermore, says this paper, ooth sec retaries are very much concerned over the threatened shortage of fuel oil, for the Shipping board operates many oil-burners, and in recent years it has been the policy to build oil-burning naval vessels because of their increased steaming radius, speed, and fighting capacity, and these are not easily changed to coal burners. Alaska's oil resources, we are told, are just beginning to be exploited.
 That Alaska needs more home rule for the prompt and efficient de- velopment of her vast natural re- sources is the contention of many of our papers il. widely separated

parts of the Union. Washington should give the Alaskan territorial government wider discretion, for Washington can not know Alaska's s needs argues the Syracuse Post { Standard; and Secretary Payne is quoted in the New York Times as saying: What Alaska needs is more men and women to settle the coun- try and less governmental regula- tionsJ More specifically the Colum- bus (Ohio) Dispatch tells us that
 "'Alaska is getting sick and tired of being interfered with in her de- velopment by the people of this country, who know nothing about conditions up there. There are many real men in Alaska-men who have gone there to make their homes, men who have developed themselves along with the development that has taken place in the country, men who are capable of saying what ought to be done and what ought not to be done.
 "'The Alaskans ask only that the Government create a board of devel- opment, the members of which shall be Alaskans, and leave to this board the working out of the destiny of the Territory. It is a simple re- quest and one that ought to be granted as soon as Congress again is in session.
 ".Mails to and from Alaska are now handled as freight declares the Seattle Times, a consistent champion of Alaska. In other ways, We are told, the people of the Territory, six thousand miles from Washington, are poorly represented. True, points out The Times, they are represented in Congress by delegate, but he does not have a vote. The chief hindrance to good government in Alaska and the development of the Territory, declares this paper, is the burden of federal bureaucracy
 "'Alaska needs a helping hand now,' declares the Knoxville Sen tinel, but it would seem, in running through a catalog of Alaska's re- sources, that the Territory my have to rescue Uncle Sam from the plight in which he finds himself, particular ly with regard to coal foc the Pa cifc fleet, paper for the nation, cil for naval and merchant ships. and waterpower for manufacturing pa- per.

of the United States has been so grotesquely misunderstood as Alas ka. The resources of Alaska have been known for many years, of course; but they have been mainly recapitulated in the arid pages of government publications, which are read by very few.
 It is expected that the needs of the Pacific fleet in the matter of coal will presently be supplied from this source. The fisheries of Alas ka, moreover, have hardly been touched, although they are known to be of great value. All in all, it is country of wonderful possibili- ties: the wonder is that we have been so long in realizing any of them
 "As the Boston Herald says, most of the information we have of Alas ka comes from the arid pages of government publications For in stance, we are told that the federal income tax of Alaska usually amounts to more than fifteen mill ions; the Territory proudly claims the only volcano and the highest mountain (Mt. McKinley) in North America; from reports that there are not enough passenger steamers to carry the people who want to visit the country this summer we gather that it is becoming summer playground; the same ground that is covered with snow in winter has grown wheat that took first prize at Minneapolis; Alaska contains the cnly placer tin mines on the con tinent; the marble from the Terri tory for which Uncle Sam paid less than two cents an acre rivals that of Vermont, and is used to adorn Western office-buildings and hotel lobbies; and the value of Alaska's products since the Territory was ac- quired by the United States is al- most billion dollars. The newest industry, and also one of the most profitable, is that of reindeer rais- ing, which has made the majority of the Eskimos economically inde- pendent; the gain in this industry, we are told. has been more than l,200 percent. Dr. Nelson. chief of the biological survey, is now in Alas ka studying reindeer propagation. The navy, for the first time in his tOAS, Is ilo" us OWu coal III Alaska; and, finally, a transpacific cable and land line between the United States and the Orient, via the Aleutian peninsula, is to be con sidered during the next session of Congress
 Capital and enterprise are need ed to usher in the day of supreme accomplishment in Alaska declares Governor Cox's paper, the Dayton News; but the Rochester Times Un- ioa says:
 "'Young men can't do it alone the pioneer wives and mothers in this country did as much, if not more, to build it up than the men. Virile young men-and women might do we'll to consider Alaska "

But the blackbirds and English spar
rows were hungry and they wanted to
go after their supper.

to Caw.caw Grow. I'VE want some Of

That gave Billy an idea. When the
blackbirds and sparrows spoke about
being hungry plan popped into his
head
go up along the line of blackbirds
and sparrows and talk about how good
that wild rice and grain Is. and about
how fast the ducks and geese and gold
flnches are gobbling It," he whispered to
General Swallow and Homer Pigeon.
The swallows and the pigeons did as
he said boasting about how fine the wild
rice and grain were and telling how
fast,the ducks and geese and goldfinches
were eating--so fast that there would
not be any left by sunset.
"Chirp! Chirp! We can't get up to the
