The secretary of the interior always
has had more or less travelling to do.
Alaska comes within the purview Of
his department, and all the secretaries
since Stewards time have paid at least
one visit to the Northwestern posses
sion. 1t can be taken for granted that
before long Secretary Fail will start
for the Alaska land.
There is some reason for the seCre-
tary to 90 TO Alaska just about this
time. 1t is understood that congress
is going to express a marked interest
in the gOvernment-built, government
owned and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS rail
road in Alaska. This venture on the
part of The government was intended
to prove the entire feasibility and the
certain success of government railroad
operation and ownership.
Recently in congress, when the Alas
kan railroad item came up for consid-
Grafton, there were several attacks on
the whole project. 1t was said in eff
feet that, while the road was remarka-
bly, well built, the line OF its route was
badly chosen and that 1t never can be
d paying venture.
Whether or not these things are true,
OF course, remains to be seen, but 1t Is
known that the secretary of the In
terror feels IA responsibility in the case,
for the building of the road and the Sc
lection of the routes and of the ports
were placed within the department Of
which he is the new chieftain.
Hoover Will Travel.
Commerce suggests travel. Herbert
Hoover is secretary of commerce ana
he has expressed a wish that the scope
of the activities OF his Office shall be
much extended. Mr. Hoover always
has been a believer in the plan Of look
ing on the scene of actual labor. In his
work abroad. and his work in the food
administration, he undertook to direct
nothing at all until he had found out
by actual personal investigation how
his directing best might count. DE
probably will be something Of a trav-
efer.
The secretary of the treasury, the
attorney general and the secretaries OF
agriculture and Of labor will not have
to do as much travelling as the other
members of the cabinet. OF course
every cabinet officer is in demand as
public speaker. and as rule they are
willing to comply with the demands
unless the travel interferes with their
pub1fc duties Neither the secretary OF
the treasury nor the attorney general
thus far has outlined any marked de
parture from the lines followed by his
predecessor in office, and so far as the
secretary of the treasury is concerned
the present taxation problems and
other things are likely to keep hin
pretty tightly chained to his Washing
ton office.

Tie understanding In Washington Is
that the preseut cabinet is to be
tra|eiing cabi9et, when travelling is
necessary for the "goUG. of the serv-
ice" Most of the cabinet officers have
said that theg want to follow the lines
Of the activities Of their departments

where 1t Is necessary TO apply RENE
ties.

on battloships or cruisers, swung his

Now things are different The fiag
OF the secretary of the navy flies from
the peak, and the secretary himself
has cabin "all by his lonesome" but
he, like the captain of war vessel,
frequently will invite the officers from
captain down 10 share his table. 1t
can be taken for granted that as for
the enlisted men on board, including
the marines, the secretary will have
kindly eye upon them, or an eye which
will be quick to note signs Of anything
which may call for Improvement.
1t is the intention Of Secretary of
War Weeks TO visit the various army
posts of the country. The war secre-
tary has "sea legs" but he soon will
learn to keep step with the land lub-
bers. As a matter of fact, the midship-
men at the Naval academy, where the
secretary of war was educated, are
given infantry drill constantly, and so
in way their early training in part
can be classed with that of the cadets
at West Point.
