ble for the work of the deparIments the head being merely an adviser and a constructor of policies. As matters are now devised there are too few in the government whose business it is to plan. Every man is held to details. to the narrower view. which comes too often to be the department view of some sort of parocfial view. We need for the day that is here and upon us men who have little to do but study the problems of the time and test their capacity at meeting them-
 Tn a word we need more oppor- tunity for planning, engineering, statesmanship above. and more fixed authority and responsibility below.'
 Describing the Interior Department as ''an abiding place for a group of unrelated governmental agencies, the retiring secretary characterizes it none the less as "the most distinc- | lively American of ali the depart ments" and reviews briefly the aims and accomplishments of his adminis- tration. Construction Of the Alaskan railway, opening of Alaskan coal lands ! by a leasing system, water power de- velopment legislation and a leasing system of oil and mineral lands of the public domain are enumerated among the latter.
 Alaska. the secretary thinks, is hampered by too much red tape'' in Washington. which is a static policy in many of the governments bureaus, | Alaska, Mir. Lane says, should be ad- ministered by 1 federal board in ths territory, be policed by constabulary as was northwestern Canada, should have her coasts made safe for navi- gation and have Canadian musk ox crossed with the native reindeer to furnish a new meat supply to the Pa cific coast.

PolNDEXTER'S VIEWS OF
 ADRIATIC CONTROVERSY

Coatesville. Pa, Feb. 29-President Wilson's participation in the Adriatic controversy was made the basis for an arraignment of the league of ma tons by Senator Poindexter. republi- can, Washington, here today in a speech in which he pointed to that dispute as indicative of the futilitv Inf the idea that peace can be brought t0 the world merely by giving up the Independence of the several nations and uniting them all under one central authority"
 Here is a question" Senator Poin- dexter said, Ito be settled by the very nations who have been selected out of a'l the other members of tbe nroS n, zee league for places on it's council They are not able to agree with the United States, or, rather, with inc president. How can it be assumed that these same nations, bound to- getner in the solemn covenant and constitution of ratified league. could agree 10 any greater extent than now?" 'ii"li

 AS the matter now stands" the 1 senator said. "the United States and us people can be relieved of the bnr- zen or this controversy by withdrawal rem It, whereas. if the presidents 1 demand that the league he ratifad haS been granted, we could not withdra T m lesser time than two years. durine which time we would have been drawn into the inevitable consequences of the conflict" VI
 Further criticism of the president was voiced by the senator in declaring mat peace would long ago have bean restored to all parts of Europe. as wei as to America. but for the insistence of the president in forming union he tween our nation and European na- tons and making ourselves nar+rnr-, Tn European controversies and Euro- pean- associate in the settlement of American affairs" VI
