TRIUMPH OF AMERICAN SPIRIT

The recent celebration at Sacra-
mento, California, of the days of the
gold rush of 1849, have recalled one
of the most notable achievements of
American spirit.
How many people are there to-day,
who if the conditions the Forty
Miners" had to meet, were repeated,
would have the nerve to cross an un-
known continent in an old prairie
schooner and face perils from saw
ages, the dessert, thirst and starva-
ton.
The present generation mas grown
so accustomed to fat and easy living,
that pioneer spirit seems almost to
have died out. Our people as they
journey across the plains enjoying
all the comforts of modern travel,

BETTER RURAL SCHOOLS

Too often it happens that bright and
capable teachers use . country school
merely as q stepping stone to some
thing else, and 60 on to city schools
after q year or 20 in the rural COM
munity. It sometimes happens that
such . teacher will Quit . school in the
middle Of . school year, leaving the
school board to supply her place in q
hurry.
The city schools can pay higher sal
aries. Yet 1t will cost one much more
to live in cities. And many rural
communities keep capable teachers for
years, q result Of the whole hearted
way in which they welcome these peo-
pie to thar social life.
ia teacher fails to find any COM
Portable hesAe open to her, If she has
to change around from one uncongen-
ial boarding plaee to another, if she is
held aloof from social life, she feels
no attachment to that community. She
will quit just az quick as she can.
But if the leading families take her
into their households and the people
of the town welcome her to social do
ings, she is going to make ties Of

to earn more money in city. she may
take the view that her expenses will
be enough greater to offset the ad-
vance. and that anyway she can new
er enjoy the comradeship that she
has in her present position.
When a girl is thoroughly making
good in the schools of a community,
when she is arousing Indifferent child
rem from their lethargy, and stirring
the fires of ambition in their previ-
ously sluggish hearts, she should be a
priced possession and one of the
greatest assets that that town has.
The utmost efforts should be made to
retain her services. Everything that
tributes of friendship and appreci
alton can do, should be offered to in
duce her to remain in the work that
she performs with such splendid re-
suits.

And on the other hand, il they take
the position that they should con-
form to the majoeity sentiment of
their district, sinse they are sent to
represent that sentiment, then II h
claimed they are playing poliEiss,
when they should be standing up in
is right.
The politician who really wishea b
do his duty. is placed in . peculiar ~
sition. He is often in doubt whethee
he should be governed by what the
majority Of the home folks seem to
want, or exercise his own best judg-
ment.
The theory Of this government is
that the people select their best men,
and that they should exercise their
own wisdom after careful investiga-
ton. and that on the whole it is best
for them to exercise independence. II
they whiffle around to correspond
with all the changes Of public opinion,
they will often be wrong.
Many people form impressions about
public affairs with little thought and
investigation. If they went into these
matters as deeoly as a legislator
ought to, they would think different
ly. The legislator ought not to be
bound by q state of opinion which
may be specifically formed.
There are some politicians whose
views are governed by selfish in
stincts, and who need to consider pop
ular sentiment more than they do.
And legislator who defies the con-
viction of the people on matter that
has been thoughtfully considered and
debated, has a tremendous self con-
fidence that may not be well based.

THE DUTY OF A LEGISLATOR

The men who are elected to public
office get it both going and coming.
If they consider only their own con-
victions, and do the best they can &C.
cording to their own lights, then they
are said to defy the will of the peo-
pie. They must often ignore the pop
ular sentiment existing for the mo-
ment.

TERRITORIAL DIVISION

That the voters of the Third division have not abandoned their idea of div ision of the Territory is evidenced by a petition being circulated by T. A. Wade, chairman of the committee on Territorial legislature. The petition states that it is a we'll known fact that the territory as it now is, is too large and unwieldy to have good gov ernment and permanent public Dul!d- ings. and that such buildings should be located in such permanent places as will greatly benefit the present and future generations; that government is better from a close range than from a long distance; that there IS always things in the way of museums that are quite important in the way of history and collections of this sort should be carried on by the Territory, and are being carried on by the Territory; but, what access have the people to them: They are at Juneau"
 The petition goes on to say that the capital should be located by vote Of the people interested and should be some location where it is easy of ac- cess to the public and where it will serve the greatest good to the great est number of people.
 The editor of the Gateway for the past seven years has fought, first thru the columns of the Miner, and later through the Gateway. for the removal of the capital to a more central point in the Territory. Its location at the present time is so inconventent for the great majority of Alaskans that they prefer to neglect important business matters rather than make a two weeks trip, at an expense of over two hundred dollars.
 Residents from the Second division are compelled to take steamship to Seattle and then come a tnousanc miles back to the capital, when by its location at Seward they could save weeks in time, and continue their trip to the states from here if they had

business there. Seward is but ( few hours out of the way for vessels p.y- ing between Nome and Seattle. Resi- dents of the Fourth division would al- so be within 22 hours of the capital, which could be reached at an expense of say $25. The capital, as it is now located, benefits but one division, Ohe smallesD whereas by removing it north it would benefit three.
 A division of the territory would be better than removing the capital as It would give the first division an en- pire to itself. This division is so diff ferent from the rest of Alaska that it can have no interests in the Territory as it now stands, other than in div1- sion of tax moneys, the bulk of which comes from the Third and two-thirds of which comes from divisions other than the First

PUBLICITY NEEDED

That the towns of Alaska, and es- pecially those on the tourist routes, should take concerted action in giving publicity to the scenic beauties to be found adjacent to their location and along the line of travel is evidenced bv the statement of tourists who re- gently arrived at the interior town ot Nenana. Reference is made to the at tempts of the White Pass officials to prevent the tourist travel from jour- neying through American territory. To quote the Nenana News of July 6, 1922:

BY Universal Service,

ceedingly bright. administration
lcaders~~in the Senate announce
While no poll Of the Senate has
been made. it is predicted that the
bill will win by a comfortable ma
jority after it comes from the
House.
There has never been any doubt
Of the ability Of administrat ton
leaders to put the measure through
the House where sentiment in
favor of the legislation is over.
whelmingly in the majority. The
only question has been with regard
to the situation in the Senate,
where 1t was feared that. either
by a filibuster or by open opposi.
ton, the success Of the measure
might be endangered.
Way Is Cleared.
This situation has now cleared.
1t is stated, with the result that
passage of the measure before the
adjournment Of the session In
March is confidently loked for.
Opponents of the measure have
built up their case largely upon
( the belief that the Middle Western
States would not stand for the
bill. and that senators and con-
gressmen from those States would
bring forward sufficient strength
to defeat it. This opinion rs not
held by Senator Curtis, Republican
whip in the Senate. who. although
from Kansas. is one Of the strong
est supporters Of the bill. The
senator said today that there 10
no foundation for the assertions
| that have been made respecting
the opposition Of the West and
Middle West to the shipping bill.
Such opposition does not exist.
Expect Special Session
II. as is now generally believed.
President Harding should summon
Congress in extra session shortly
after the November election, the
administration leaders plan 10 bring
the ship subsidy bill Immediately
before the House and have it dis
posed of before the regular session
convenes.
This would make ii possible tor
the Senate TO give attention 70
the bill as soon as the regular 'es-
sion begins in December.
