Considerable opposition has arisen In
South Bend Wash, to the county's plan
TO bueld a road down the north bank
of the Wilhpa river from Raymond to
a settlement across the river from
South Bend, thus giving settlers on
the other side of the river an outlet
There is already a paved road down
the south side of the river, and it has
been suggested that bridge across the
river at South Bend would be far
cheaper way Of giving an outlet to
families who now cross the river in
beats.

matched by the federal government.
So far but seven counties have made
appropriations to carry on the work.

DENIAL OF REQUEST NO SURPRISE.

The failure of the War Department to consider the request for assignment of an Army avlaton squadron in Alaska is not something that will oc- cesion any great surprise either in or out o the litory Even had it been considered 1t was virtuaiy a fcregone conclusion that nothing could be done in this line at the present time The Delegate made the original request and gracefully and heartily supported by Governor Bone who, after Alaska s elected representative had made the first move could hardly have done anything else.
 But obviously the War Department is in no posi- tion to enlarge the scope any particular branch ct the army Congress despite the advice of General Pershing and other military leaders of nearly equal prcmnence has decreed reduction the size of the nations military forces and limited the funds to keep them going In order to keep within the appropria- tion the War Department has been forced to abandon many posts to cut down organizations of all kinds and all down the line there is for more economy Much publicity has been given the injury suffered by the Army Air Service in consequence thereof These things well known in Alaska and must have been the Delegate, that he well as Alaskans generally must have expected refusal Of the request.
 Probably harm has been done by the Delegates action in this matter. But when there are so many things Alaska does need that might be attained, the better would to be to go after the at tainable things and forget the unattainable. To do otherwise is waste time and energy and leads to the risk of becoming obnoxious through everlasting appeals that get nowhere. Some of the desirable u ngs that might be secured for Alaska by steady, consistent campaign full Territorial form gov ernment; share the general road fund carried the Federal Highway bill, admitting Alaska the basis the western public lands states; a Territorial capitol building; equitable share of the revenues from the seal industry provision for the Territory share in the royalties from Gil pro- duced from leased public lands within it's borders; modern egislaon; abolition unnecessary reserves and putting a stop the practice of making reserves. These some of the subjects which legislation is nec,ed. It is that the Delegate has introduced bills of them there is an old and familiar saying in Congress the effect that any amateur drop bill into the Legislative hop per but it takes full-size extract a law tierefrom

 Good advertising is printed salesman shin Ii costs money-yes-bdt hgured per nroenect if is usually dirt cheap.
 Advertising should not be used as medl- oi,o ii should not be used as food. It will not necessarily cure a sick busness. It will not permanently offset poor merchandlse and noor service. It will not build con fdence and prestige unless it is founded on denendability in your goods and integrity in vour business methods
 Advertising is the printed representation of vour business, the projected personality of vour business It should represent you just as faithfully and efficiently as your best salesman II should tell the story of your mercandise and service accurately and en- Enthusiastically.

Politicians at School.
Chicago Tribune.)

What would American politicians tnlhK II they were ordered to attend course in politics anu economies?
 It has happened in England, where during two weeks fifty Liberal party candidates and party agents attended d summer school at Oxford, where they were addressed by party leaders and by specialists lh o!i ferent phases of public affairs, like MT Maynaru Keynes The main issues of the day were eAahllheu and discussed and experts heard upon them mus it is expected coherent and informed party opihoh will be maintained.
 How different from system of la1ssez talre. Humans being what they are. party anilatlon Is mostly a matter of personal tradition and environ ment many members of either the hepup- lican or Democratic party could give even an out line of its history or define it's basic dlnerences from it's opponents except in terms of tarlh policy or specal concrete issue of the immediate cam paign?
 Party machinery operates under the pressure ct interests which pressure expresses itself finally at the ballot box, directly and indirectly It has al ways been so and will always be and the true problem of responsible party government is to fuse the immediate interests of the party in Will ming elections and holding office with the real in- teress of the people. This is problem of educa tion education of leaders and of voting followers.
 The actual physiology of politics cannot be al tered, but it be made a comparatively healthy physoIcgy There is too much politics of short sighted and irresponsible expedency, too much play ing up to popular prejudces and mpusive fallacies In country, where politics has become means or livelihood, the pressure upon vote seekers to win elections at any price is bound to be intense and must be reckoned with in practical consideration of political processes and their bettermen But by free discussion and study of public problems political leaders would be able to formulate issues for the people rather than to submit to the of i'll considered public demands or fallacious conceptions of interest
 In other words, leaders by drawing together for the clarifcation of real problems of government and for the study of real public interests might ii; themselves for sound leadership without impair ing their private party prospects of success at the polls They could make themselves leaders rather than expedient agents of public impulse, and think this is much needed to restore the credit of party government.
 It is obvious that party fealty has been weakened because of lack of principled leadership, the ab- sence of which has kept many from the polls or set them adrft between the parties Our system is government by parties, the only responsible sys- tenn if it is to be efficient it ought be it should produce real leadership founded thor cughly studied principles and programs

ALLAN RYAN MAY STAGE A

Will Allan A. Ryan, of Thomas Fortune Ryan, stage a comeback on Wall Street? is question over which financial interests in the east began to puzzle a short time ago. The question was aroused in the financial district when Ryans attorneys recently filed Incorporation papers for a stock and bond hrm Allan A Ryan Co.,, Inc. capitalized at 5O,OOO shares of no par value and showing active capital Of $50, 900.
 When Ryan filed voluntary petition in bank ruptcy July with liabilities of $18000000, tain prominent in the financial district pro- phesied he would come back. The district is remem berng this and wondering if it has started The opinion in Wall sstret s that he will seek to re- gain his lost prestige and again become figure in the Street His disastrous market exper iences it is said, be regarded bitter dose that tends 10 sharpen his ambition.

 The bar against Canadian livestock was erected hecause suppoed diseases would infect the home nerds of the limited Kingdom. Recent scientific 1nvest1ga-
 lions have shown that the DominiOns cattle are more healthy than those in Great Britain and constitute no menace whatever Following this disclosure the Can adian Government pressed intensvey for lifting or the ban and this has been done.
 As for the general effect it will provide the United States with competitor in the English meat markets and will make living cheaper In the Kingdom Especially will it have profound effect upon the milk supply there by permitting the highly necessary increase the dairy herds. Incidentally it may be said that the raising of the tariff upon Canadian breadstufs has been of inesmabe value to England which will get more of our neighbor s wheat and be able to enjoy cheaper loaf
 All that will come the United States now will be the absolutely necessary quota of hard wheat, which the American millers must have to produce a properly balanced flour. They will of course, the tariff and like good busness men, they will add 1t to the price of their product. As for Canada that country becomes more and economically inde- pendent of us through tariffs and British i'm peral preferences. The world is her oyster and with the sword of American opposition will she open it.
