ALASKA WOOD PULP

Sherman Rogers, who has been contributing to the Outlook significant series of articles on Alaska, declares in Washington address that before long the spruce forests of Alaska will be supplying from a third to a half of the newsprint used in the United States. Will Clemens not long ago made for the Bookman a computation of the amount of spruce wood consumed for books, showing that a ''best seller' mi ght easily devour 800 spruce trees. If these trees for books and papers meant destruction without replacement, the defor- estration, such as that which China today so mou1nfully illustrates, would be matter for the gravest concern of those who seek to con serve natural resources. But Mr. Rogers has the support of experts in his declaration that the newsprint is to be had "without re ducing the timber supply' by the application of modern methods of scientific forestry.
 Thus Alaska affords one more illustration of the resourcefulness that has completely re- versed public opinion as to the value of the purchase of "Seward's Folly" and made that Territory recognized as one of the crown jewels of the Union. Alaska has the harbors and the waterpower to develop the pulp in dustry. She needs only the redemption from too much political interference on the one hand or autocratic and monopolistic private on the tapis at Washinoton more important than the development of Alaska.-Philadelph Public Ledger.

"BE LIBERAL"

'EBe Liberal'' The devil has been preach ing from that text since he was put out of Heaven "Be liberal''-don't stand by right standards stand for any standard that will gratify others and make it easy for yourself. ."Be liberal''-follow God and the devil too.
 When it comes to Americanism, don't stand for standards passed on to us through 1oO years of sound, struggling and self-sacrlficng statesmanship; take super government stan dards take clan standards; foreign standards. "Be libera1''-follow America and every other country too.
 Just the same there is one liberalism here in America-the all-American brand-and the Yank, Jew, Trishman, Italian, German, Rus sian, or Britisher scheming to put over on the rest of us-is going to get it in the neck from the whole of us. "Be liberal''-yes- but not with the devil and his institutions not with clan schemers here in America. Let's amalgamate and put representatives of all |nationalities in office-thus putting hundred different watch-dogs over affairs. There $ liberalism for you.
 The tendency-growing stronger each wear is for different racial groups to control af- fairs in various big cities-playing their clan game-and freezing out straight Amerrcanlsm | It may be the Yanks-it may be the Jews lit may be the Irish-that play this game

TO BE COMMENDED

It is indeed pleasure to note that the officials in charge of the Alaska Government Railroad are suggesting the advisability of CO., operating with other transportation lines to and within Alaska with the idea of developing some tonnage for the new railroad to the Interior That is plan to be commended and cannot help but prove beneficial to the Government line. It is also stated that the Government Railroad will arrange to provide boat service for the Panama and Lower Yukon, which is likewise a good move. Barring the discovery of new gold fields or some great
 bonanza mine or striking oil which might .create a real boom, there can be no great amount of tonnage for the railroad to haul, either now at at any other time, as eNperl- fenced Alaskans well know. It is, therefore. of the utmost importance for the Government line to endeavor to make every arrangement pos sible to develop the traffic to and from any carriers at terminals on the seacoast or Tn the interior As long as such sensible pro gram is followed friendly interchange of ton mage will result, if there is any tonnage to
 move. Such plan will also very largely re-
 move all feeling of past antagonism and lead to better understanding all around.-Ra1way and Marine News.

BE TRUsTFUL OF GOOD FORTUNE

Every time you have a bit of good fortune you begin to look for a joker, now don't you? It is unfortunate for person to become so cynical that the fact of good fortune in some particular should start such train of thought, before the enjoyment is a reality.
 If you would think of it in another way, that Nature balances up at one time or an other, and take the unfortunate occurrences in philosophical way, nothing would be so woefully sad as you seem to think.
 Enjoy the good things that come for the good there is in them.
 When the balance swings toward misfortune be sure that it will swing back again after a while, because the world is made that way.
 And if human experience proves this to be fact it is a matter beyond your control, anyway so why make yourself needlessly mis- erable?
 If you cannot help the little imperfectons which are bound to come in every mans life, why should you spoil the perfect things by the unpleasant ones?
 Be philosopher, and be happier, but 1t need not keep you from striving for the best you can get.

THE SHIELDS REVERSE

The intellect of man has achieved, in tIe realms especially of physical science, marvels of which the most renowned of the ancents never dreamed. The wonders of the starry heavens. the secrets of the buried pages of the earth s long-hidden records have yielded to mans patient study tales more wonderful than any fiction has produced. The discovery of once unknown forces and the subjugating of them to the control of man-all that has re- suited in the accumulation of wealth and power from the researches of man III the sphere of material nature-fills us with ever Increasing amazement. To discredlt science las a benefactor of the race in its search for truth and fact would be to rank oneself with the ignorant and the fanatic. The truth, every honest man must follow, let 1t lead where lit may. It can never contradict itself.
 But science, too, has made possible many an instrument for evil. On it's anvils have Ibeen forged weapons for destruction that onr most savage ancestors would have disdained Ito use. In many an instance its influence over the mind of it's devotee has been to blind him to truths of greater worth to mankind than any exact science has ever discovered. It
 may be possible to measure and welgh the |stars of heaven and yet catch no glimpse o1
 eternal spiritual values beside which the shln- ing stars grow pale.
 1 It is when one looks upon the shields re-
 verse sde when he confronts the cold, crass |materialism into which scientific studies have
 so often led its votaries that he scarcely won
 ders that one who had seen both sides should
 have written years before this last unspeak-
 able war, which drew its engines of destruction

ON THEIR MERITS

Each member of the Territorial Legislature is going to Juneau with the avowed intention of cutting down taxes. The 1923 session is no exception to the rule. Today the demand for lower taxes is so evident that the Legis- lator with bad hearing can sense it. It is reasonable that there should be a lessening of taxes for the war is over and prices have dropped to the point where a man can buy beefsteak with less than a days wages.
 It is to be hoped that the coming Territorial Legislature will make fewer appropriations and prune off some of the official deadwood that has accumulated the past sessions. The taxpayers do not want any worthy bill sacri- feed by cheese pairing, but there are very few bills left to introduce We have too many laws now. A large number of them could be repealed and our people would be better off, Seward Gateway.

COST OF NOT ADVERTISING

Fifteen thousand dollars for one page of advertising in one issue of a magazine seems a respectable sum of money, but it must pay else why the scramble for the page? It must be interesting reading for merchant But perhaps the merchant would be more thrilled if he understood the cost of not advertising. The men who pay $15,O0O for one insertio" ad are not fools They know that it would cost them moro than that sum if they did not ~advertise They would lose in business and prestige far more money than the sum spent in creating business and prestige. The cost of not advertising is dull business. Advertise ing creates trade That is a truth well known to modern business men. Non advertising ha" the reverse action. It kills trade That truth is also known to business men.

SHIPPING BILL DEFEATED

The last moments of the Ship-subsidy bill appear to be at hand What promised for a time to develop into a compromise between the farm-bocers and the proponets of the Ad- ministration's shipping meausre, whereby the farm credits legislation would be traded for support of the Merchant Marine bill, has gone by the board with the ability of the agrlcultur al group to get the right-of-way in Senate procedure, without the aid of the ship-subsdy proponents. With the filibuster of the past week, the Presidents $ bill has been consigned to oblivion for the present, with little lkeh- hood of it's being passed at the next sess1on of Congress. It is a pity, since the subsidy proposal has appeared to be the only way of salvaging anything from bad situation
 The main protest against the shlp-subsldy bill has come from interior states that have no direct connection with ocean commerce and therefore small knowledge of its requirements or what is to be gained from It. But there are other considerations to which we can not but yield certain sympathy. American ships in foreign trade must compete with the ships of other natonalties. Our rivals may build or buy ships in the cheapest markets, and they may man them free from restrictions as to wages, numbers of crews, etc. American ships must be operated under restrictions lm- posed first by our tariff laws, and what IS even more serious by regulations imposed at the behest of organized labor Americans may not build ships at minimum cost nor may thev operate them at minimum expense. We will not venture to define the margin of d'sad- vantage but it is great, so great that many of our ship owners, notably Mr. Robert Dollar of San Francisco, find it necessary to place their ships under foreign registry. It is not an unreasonable argument against the shipping bill that it proposes to take funds from the national treasury to make up to American ships what they must sacrifice in obedience to our restrictive laws. Better, say the pro- testants, abolish restriction and give enterprise free hand
 One thing is certain. Until such time as we may, by one means or another, maintain ships bearing the American flag on the high seas, we shall pay tribute to England, Norway, Japan, even to China, in connection with our export trade. Furthermore, this trade must be embarrassed by the fact that our deliveries are dependent upon facilities of our rivals The short of it is that our export trade will be hampered and limited until such time as we shall make it possible to make deliveries in ships owned by Americans and operated in the national interest. Until that time we shall work at disadvantage

Range Capital has been hard to interest lin minerals that far north. This has been true first because of inadequate transportation facilities in the past and, second, by reason of the fact that discoverers of hard rock de- |posits, whether gold or less valuable metals, have seldom attempted to carry their dlscov- cries beyond the preliminary prospecting stage No real body of has ever been developed of the nature that would justify extensive outlay of capital which has been wary of taking a chance on surface shoWlngs.
 The construction of the Alaska Railroad un- ldoubtedlv will do much toward solving the Transportation problem. Before the railroad era Fairbanks was as far distant from smeters and markets as Seattle is from the London fur market Today it has been brought to tide
 water and, from the transportation standpoint
 is about on the same relative plane as Kodiak
 It is true the Copper Mountain region, where
 the property involved in the reported Guggen-
 helm deal is located, is not directly contiguous
 ito the railway. But it is probably not more than 80 miles distant. That means it is not |inseparably shut off from smelters Two years ago it was several thousand miles way from smelling facilities and not even the richest kind of silver-ead or copper ores could have attracted capital. The entry of the Guggenheim interests into interior mining districts would stimulate interest in that sec |ton of the Territory as no other one develop |ment could bring about. It would attract the attention of other mining corporations and |offer inducement to DrosDectOrs to continue 1their search for deposits of ores which in the past have been passed up as having no market |value.
 The Guggenheims have been attacked on many occasions by notorietv seeking polite |ians both in and out of Alaska Their ac- |tivities in the mining field in Alaska have |been of material benefit to the Territory. They have expended millions in developing copper properties in the Prince William Sound and Kennecott districts and in constructing rail
 road, building and operating steamships. They
 are well up at the head of the list of taxpayers lin the Territory and the investment of addi- tional capital by them will be welcomed and
 encouraged The investment of such in the Interior at this time should be given special
 encouragement inasmuch as capital is the first requirement for any material develop
 ment there Both agriculture and stoc1ralslno in that section are dependent on the upbuld- ing of an industrial population which in turn
 can come only as capital is available for f.
 nancing mineral development. Juneau |F,mDire

DRINK WATER TO HELP WASH OUT
 KIDNEY POISON If Your Back Hurts or Blad- der Bothers You, Begin
 Taking Salts

When your kidneys hurt and youi back feels sore don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidfeys and irritate the entire urinary trace. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which helps to remove the body's ur'nous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 800 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital import ance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of good water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morn ing for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they are no longer a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure; makes a delightful effervescent litLia- water drink, which everyone should take now and then to help keep their Kidneys clean and active. Try this; also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will won- der what became of your kidney trouble and backache. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.-Adv.

is well illustrated by the thousands of women who are entering every profession. almost every line of busi- ness and politics as well. They are bound to make good, and there is no question but what health is their greatest asset. Many women, how ever, develop weak, nervous condi- tions and cannot stand the strain of professional or business life. Such women should remember when beset with headaches, backache, nervous ness, irritability or any ailmenc pecu- liar to their sex that the greatest of all remedies for such conditions is Lydia l.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. For nearly fifty years this old fashioned root and herb medicine has been restoring the women. of America to health and strength. It holds the remarkable record of help ing sS out of every 100 women who try it.-(Adv.)

NOISE MARKS OPENING OF PIKE COUNTY FAIR
Races Postponed On Account Of Standardization Exhibits Good

TROY, Ala, Oct. 16.-(Special Leased Wire. .)-At Il o'clock Tuesday morning the ringing of bells, blow ing of whistles and playing of bands announced that the gates of the Pike County fair had opened. The weather for the day was very disagreeable, with showers, but in spite of that, good crowds were in attendance. Lit tlejohn's carnival arrived Monday night and Tuesday morning saw the tents up and the shows ready for performances. The riding devices were attracting large crowds and were very popular with children. On account of the indictment weather it was decided best to call eff the races for today, and by an arrange ment between MT. Littlejohn and the owners of the horses, six big races will be held each afternoon instead of five races. IS had been planneV.
 The main building this year is de- voted to agricultural exhibits. The upper story has been given to the poultry displays, which are extensive and very fine. Downstairs the com munity exhibits occupy most of the space, with Rogers, Friendship, Pep zibah. Little Oak, Oakgrove and others represented. The Pipe county farm bureau exhibit arranged by R. l.. King, county farm agent, and Miss Charlotte Busey, home demonstration agent, occupies the central part of the building.

$35O,O M OBILE BOND ISSUE SOLD
 FOR WATERWORKS
Steiner Brothers Of Birming- ham Were Second High
 est Bidders For Issue

MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 16.-(Special Leased Wire.)-I. B. Tigrett & Go. of Jackson, Tenn, was judged the highest and best bidder for the S350 GOO bond issue recently voted by the people of Mobile for improving the waterworks and sewerage sys- tems of the city at a special meet ing of the city committee held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the city hall. The bid of this company pro- v,ded that the money paid for bonds is to be deposited in the Merchants hank of this city and two one half per cent interest paid the city on the average monthly deposit.
 Steiner Bros. of Birmingham, Ala, bama, were the next highest bidders, bidding par and accrued interest plus a premium of $7,750. J. M Levine of New York City. representing this firm, contended that this bid with the added premium was a better bid than the Tigrett bid.
 Mayor Taylor, who tabulated the bids contended that the city would receive more from the amount of in- terest at the bank where the Tigrett 6 Co., would deposit the bond money, basing his statement on the an nouncement that it would be two years before the entire amount of the bond issue was used up and that this money would be bringing g interest all the time.
 There were seven other bids for these bonds.
