ALASKA THE FOOTBALL

To Alaskans there is a singular pertmence Tn that remark attributed to General Richardson in recent interview with The Times when he said: ''It is the duty of all Government em- ployes to uphold the Governments investments in all quarters'' It is a sentiment which AL askans have only too often seen ''more hon. ored in the breach than in the observance. ' Not that Government employees are prone to begrudge the expenditur of Government funds
 in Alaska! Through it's representatives the Government has not been niggardly in the amount of money it has contributed by and large in the course of administration of the Territory. That much of it has been expended futilely and without practical result IS fact thoroughly familiar to most residents of the nations northernmost possession For this the jealousies of departmental officials and the lust for power on the part of bureaucratic em- ployes, has been largely responsible. Not pri- marv in the interests of Alaska $ needs have the various appropriations granted by the Government to often been administered by Government officials The extension of bu- reaucratic control; the creation of large list of job perquisites to be parceled out among political and personal constituents; the zeal of subordinate executives for the furtherance of pet projects and idealistlc enterprises; and the scramble for the lions share of the funds for all these-such have been the motives all too frequently behind the expenditure of Gov
 ernment moneys in Alaska. The effect has been to make mere football for Government employees. Certain interests of~the Territory, administered by one Department, have been nitted against those of another under the championship of second Department It has been one grand game of political Rugby on the part of the various bureaus at Washington, with Alaska being kicked hither and yon over the field. General Richardson expresses a sen- timent all too tendery and painfully cherish ed by most Alaskans when he pleads for the equal consideration of all parts of the man. handled Territory by Government players.

Any woman who successfully raises a fam fly of children, teaching each child to go out into the world clean in life and ambitious to dc somathing useful. Is great
 The sacrifices such women endured cheer fully would be impossible to any man.
 Tle inspiration they give to their children is beyond estimation.
 Almost any sensible man will insist that his mother was one of the greatest women in the world, and it would be idle to dispute him.
 Because men have written most of the his tory, the importance of women in the world has never been fully understood.
 Even if women had written it, the same thing would be true.
 For they would have praised their husbands or their sons lavishly, and said little about themselves
 statue to motherhood would well com memorate the greatest women in the world.
 For it is what women do as mothers to their sons and to their daughters that comprises the noblest work that has been done for man. kind through all the ages 'Uncommon Sense' by John Blake.

LOOK UPON THE APE

''If man believe that he is the descendant of the ape he can go to a geological garden and speculate how far he has come.'
 The words are MT. Bryan's. No biologist ever suggested that the human race was de scended from the modern ape. The modern ape is himself descendant of the authropoid ape long extinct
 The man who goes to the geological garden, therefore, can only gaze upon collateral branch of his own family.
 Still, Mr. Bryan's suggestion is a good one. A thinking man gazing upon welI-behaved, inoffensive and decent ape can find much food for thought. When he considers how men kill one another for greed, for lust and for religion, how they hate one another when their interests conflict, what frauds some of them are and, above all how stupid the hi man race is in it's calm acceptance of so many of the mseries of life, why tn" little apt flashes up ratler well.

GREAT WOMEN

Interesting, but rather futile is the at tempt to discover the ten greatest women in the world
 Ten great women may easily be found.
 Any intelligent newspaper reader could make his own list, and it would be accurate.
 But there is no person living who can say who are the ten greatest women in the world.
 It may be that there are hundreds of women now living who are greater than any of those named in the lists that have been printed.
 This statement is not at all disparaging to any great and prominent women whose names figure in the news
 But women are engaged as yet so little in business, they figure in comparison to their numbers so little in public life that many of the greatest are known only to their families and to their immediate neighbors.
 Abraham Lincoln's mother with little edu- cation and no prominence at all, was one of the greatest women of her time. His step- mother was another great woman.
 Neither of them could have made political address, or given lecture in young women s college.
 But together they gave life and training and inspiration to one of the greatest men ever born into the world. A,,,
