RAILROAD FEEDERS ARE ESSENTIAL.

Twenty years ago some Denver capitalists seriously considered the project of building railroad to run through the northern country to point called Wales, in the neighborhood northwest of Nome and then to bridge or tunnel across Boring Straits to Russia. Now prominent engineers again advocating running tunnel under Boring Straits so as to make possible railroad to run from Chicago to Peking without change of cars. All of which suggests that in time Alaska will likely be network of railroads, which will prove of material aid in the development of the po- tential and rich resources of the Territory The completion of the Government Railway that runs from tdewater at Seward and An chorage to the Interior at Nenana and Fair banks will prove of incalcuabe value as time goes on, but it will be necessary that branch lines be constructed as feeders in the deveI- opment of a rich mineral and agricultural country. Whether this be done by the Govern ment or by private capital the necessity for such construction cannot long be overlooked Likewise, as time goes on there will be mani fest necessity for the extension of the Copper River X Northwestern Railway, as well as for numerous feeders. This line now runs 196 miles from tidewater at Cordova to Kennecott where are located some of the richest copper mines in America. There are other valuable contiguous properties that must soon be reached by the railroad while in the White River country beyond there is much mineral that but awaits a means of outlet to materially increase the supply of Uncle Sam's mineral that is now gradually declining in volume. In the general discussion of "What's the matter with Alaska?" the great necessity for additional railway facilities must not be over Capital

No other Congress in American history has accomplished so much as that which recently adjourned.

A TRIBUTE TO ADVERTISING

Every once in a while big advertiser fails Then the boys on the fence hop to it with 8 cynical: "We told you so! There's nothing in |advertising!'
 Let's see! Every once in while a prom inent church official goes wrong. Then these same fence-rail philosophers jump at the chance to tell us "theres nothing in religion.'
 But wait! What is it that makes such a case conspicuous? What-except contrast? Maybe none of us is saint, but the church helps it's members and they help the church to serve the community. You'd not want to live in this country if it had no churches.
 The average church member goes straight and is good citizen If one individual does go wrong it's surprise. And the fact that we are surprised at it is, after all the best tribute to the church and its influence. For lit shows that one who goes wrong is an exception:
 The shallow-pates who chorte over such an incident should remember that.
 But we're not talking religion. We're talk ing business.
 The occasional failure of an advertiser is conspicuous because it is exceptional. Very rarely is the cause of the failure to be found in the advertising. Success depends on many factors, of which advertising is only one. Most failures are failures of service or failures of finance.
 You would find it hard to mention a single great retail success in this country which doesn't rely heavily on advertising.
 Any surprise over the failure of an adver tiser therefore, is really tribute to the known power of advertising Otherwise it wouldn't surprise.

PRACTICAL HELP TO BOYS

The lads of the Seattle Boys Club the other night gave a farewell part to one of their number about to depart for good job with a big packing company in Alaska-a job that he had earned by the way, through faith full service in the company's office in Seattle. This boy only a few years ago was homeless like all other members of this remarkable club.
 Get Big Brother" of the Elks to take you to the club some night and see for your self splendidly practical work in building self-reliant lf-supporting men out of some times starving waifs who have been robbed by poverty, death or other misfortune of parents and home.
 The Elks, wise in their helpfulness, do no charity here-they merely help these boys to help themselves and keep their self-respect. Seattle Post Intelligencer.

LESS PATERNALISM-MORE
 INDIVIDUALISM

That the great majority of the American people want less bureaucratic supervision and more individual freedom of individual self reliance, is the opinion of Senator Frank l.. Green, of Vermont, who was Congressman from that State until he moved over to the Senate on March 4. Moreover, Mir. Green be- Iicvcs that it is not only sound statesmanshlp but wise politics for the Republican party to take d definite stand for return to the prin- cipes of the Fathers of the Republic in this regard Discussing this subject few days ago he said:
 Tn my judgment the Republican party can do more to rehab]itate itself, to say nothing of that greater duty of rehabilitating the civil estate of the nation by coming out squarely on platform that mequivocally harks back to the Constitution and the policy of the Fathers with regard to these latterd day evils of Capitalization, Bureaucracy, Paternalism / "It is true that here and there in some parts of the land there are elements of such radical disposition as would fight us on that issue, But that is nothing new That issue always did make fight in all ages, everywhere. The point is that we have been running along for several decades making concessions of the element that demanded this Capitalization, Bureau 'cracY, HateTnallSm, Tn the nope IldI we Woulo keep that element quiet. And faithful to the lessons of history that some of us have tried to point out all the time, that element, instead of being kept quiet, has simply fastened and grown lusty on what it fed upon, and now de- mands more and more and will not be satisfied.
 ''There is a constantly increasing number of people who may have been led away little lat first by the Utopian dreams of the vision aries, but who are now realizing the urgent necessity for return to the constitutional gov- er11nent and are simply waiting for leadership to line them up for it. There are hundreds of thousands of Democrats who deplore the ten dency of the Wilson Administration towards this socialistic form of government and who are anxious 10 bring their own party back into line with the old policy once more. If, how ever, they are disappointed with that they will join with any highminded element in the country in new effort perhaps to make common warfare against the Radicals
 ''Aftcr all this gradual slipping back to the Old World idea of Centralization, Bureaucratic Paternaism, the pendulum of public sentiment is poising for its return swing.
 "If we are wise as politicians, as statesmen, hs patriots, we will take advantage of it,

ECONOMY BEGINS AT HOME

In an interview at the close of his ad-
 minstration of the Department of the Inter for, Secretary Fall illustrated the difficulty of solving some governmental problems by telling of his experience with man who had given considerable thought to public questions. This man had spent six months trying to frame up plan to rehabilitate international finance and had wound up with the firm resolution to use five gallons less of gas week.
 There is wealth of wisdom in that illus tration. Many man has stood on box on the street corner complaining of the industrial ills of the nation and striving to teach his hearers the fundamental principles of eco- monies when he could have done far more to help the world and his own country by taking
 off his coat and going to work at some useful Occupation. Many people complain of the |heavy burden of taxation when the taxes i'm posed by national, state and local governments are inconsiderable as compared with the taxes they impose upon themselves for luxuries, many of which are needless and others per haps harmful. The man who resolved to use five gallons less of gas per week undoubtedly did more to solve the economic problems of the country than he could have done by publishing the results of his six months study of the subject in the abstract.
 Consumption of gasoline is but one item in our great program of extravaganza and waste |fullness It sometimes seems as though the world has gone mad in it's search for pleasure,

for new thrills, for new methods of trying to outdo our neighbors in the qualification of vanity. What the people of this country need more than they need anything else is self instruction and seld-discipline in the matter of needless expenditures and the adoption in practice of the idea advanced by the gentleman mentioned by Secretary Fall who decided to do lis part in rehabilitating the finances of the world by cutting down his consumption of gas five gallons per week.

THE WATER-CURE

According to press dispatches Boston is facing building crisis due to a combination of circumstances, among which are noted the following: Proposed wage increase from $1 to $1.121@ per hour; double pay for overtime; firemen for hoisting engines to be classed as engineers; wages fixed for briczlayers to be
 understood as minimum with no maximum limit; appreticeship so restricted as to insure scarcity of skilled labor.
 Far be it from us to say whether the union workers in Boston are asking too much of the people who pay the bills. That is a question they must settle among themselves. It might not be inappropriate to remark, how ever, that many years ago an attempt was made to force the people of Boston to buy some tea which they did not want, prices and taxes considered The tea was thrown overheard.

BEHIND THE SCENES

One more evidence of the way the tide is setting against the metropolitan press is given by an editorial that appeared in the Dearborn Independent entitled "Propagandizing the Press.' It shows that the pernicious propa- ganda artists are coloring the sources of news more and more and that the big papers are losing their power to mold public opinion
 largely through their use of the "free' arti- cles they reprint While country editors, with
The Cordova daily times., 1923-03-22

their customary hard sense, rarely use any propaganda material, yet it is worth while to show the public what is going on behind the scenes in the city newspaper field. The edi- torial was as follows:
 eff the readers of newspapers and maga- zines could realize the source of much that cussion, and the impossibility of securing through the same channels any opposing argu- ment, there would be better understanding of economics in the country.
 "The Atlantic Monthly nearly year ago published a long article intended to show the absolute necessity of the gold standard in money, written by professed financial ex- pert in which the views of several who oppose the idea were presented, but so colored as to give a false impression. One of the ablest writers in the West, whose name the author had used, rendered a reply in which he cat egorically controverted every misstatement, and there were many. The magazine editor de- c1ined to use it, claiming that the original article was 'orthodox' and beyond controversy.
 ''The same author has recently furnished the Saturday Evening Post relash of his ar gument for gold, it's chief feature being the omission of reference to the theory of the Western writer. Another Western writer how ever, offered to refute the pleas of the expert in much less space, but was courteously told his effort would not receive attention.
 "And in these two incidents there arises a little history which may be of interest.
 ''Two years ago this advocate of gold, as manager of a 'foundation,' privately endowed, conducted an 'economic research and offered
 c. on economic subjects, among them that of the function of money. Many essays were sub mitted, prizes were awarded, and the result prizes were awarded, and the result of the assavists has received reprints of the mertorious papers, which were promls- ed, nor has the press announced their publlca- tion Within short time, however,, each has been circuarized by publication society bear ing the same name as the 'foundaton,' offer ing several volumes on his side of the money question, written by himself and others recog- nized among the judges in the contest
 ''The money propaganda arises in source that will deny so far as possible any free d1s- cussion. It is practically useless to answer to different audiences, and debate is necessarily checked if publicity can be controlled; and publicity in controlled in every case where one side of controversy is barred from hearing.
 ''Tn the above cases the monthly magazine, the weekly magazine, and the daily newspaper, have deliberately cheated their readers of op- portunity to learn the opposing argument with out seeking it in other quarters. As a matter of fact their readers are going to other quart CTS, ana their going means tremendous let down in public confidence in the press."

That had not had an end
When a man defeated fought and won.

Persian Printed Chiffon Fabric
in Oriental CoIors.
The Low-Waist Draped style 10 Now
Replacing the one-Side
Effects.

Evening dresses Of the new Persian
printed chiffon velvets made In the
low-waist draped style are now replac-
during the last season, writes fash
ion authority in the New York Trib-
une. The richness Of fabric and the
beauty Of color lend great charm to
dress of this sort. Afternoon dane
ing dresses of velvet printed in cash
mere design are trimmed with bands
Of topaz crystals. Flame red velvet
for evening wear, are embroidered in
oriental colors.
Apparently no note in color tone Is
too high to be pleasing this winter.
Among the most popular Is brilliant
yellow red the color Of flame. Dane
ing frocks in Greek style are made Of
geranium colored velvet and embroid-
threads.
All tones of mauve still are used.
These are particularly good in the blu
ish mauves such as hydrangea or per-
venche. A beautiful model is Of chif-
fon velvet combined with georgette
crepe Of the same tone. The georg-
ette is introduced in the form of tiny
bands, hand plated and set in with sill
yer embroidery.
The welcome accorded velvets print
ed in bright colors Is an indication of
the way in which the public taste has
veered toward more elaborate effects
while holding to the simple outline of
dress. Metal cloths in plain tones, shot
effects and hrocaded patterns are great
ly in vogue. Much beading, embroid-
cry and Jewel studding is being done
on metal fabrics to embelllsh these rich
but rather unflattering materials.
An extravaganza of the season is

cade dress into harmony with the vel
