under federal control.
 A large measure of home rule should and will be given Alaska. In this matter, Congress, if it accepts the advice of those lawmakers that just visited the Northland, will be lib eral. The question of self government in Alaska is not complicated as ln Hawaii. Porto Rico or the Philippines by a racial issue. Aside from the Eskimos. the population is comprised almost entirely of American born cit, izens.
 Transportation facilities are essen tial to the territory's development The government railway probably will be unable for several years to pay op- erating expenses, but its benefits will more than offset any deficit. The continued building of roads and trails will make accessible the resources ot the interior, besides supplying feed- CTS for the railway, thereby narrow ing the difference between receipts and expenditures.
 At the next session of Congress, Alaskan affairs will receive more in telligent consideration than at any time since the acquisition of the ter ritory.

LAWMAKERS TO AID ALASKA
(From Seattle Times)

Alaska may expect to benefit from the recent visit of four senators and twenty-siX representative to south eastern and southwestern parts of the Territory. Its resources impress ed the lawmakers. Its need of devel- opment is recognized by them. The Northland can congratulate itself that some of its principal difficulties will be considered by the next Congress with every prospect of satisfactory settlement.
 While the returned lawmakers are not agreed on remedy for every i'll, there is among them unanimity of opinion with regard to the treatment required for several of the chief con- plaints of the territory. Quite uni formly, the members of the congress sional party expressed themselves in favor of legislation to conserve the fishing industry, extend a greater de- gree of home rule and promote trans portation facilities by making ade- quate appropriations for the opera tion of the government railway and for the construction of roads and trails.
 Alaskan fisheries have been gradu- ally deteriorating Productive waters are more distant and catches are far lighter than formerly. Protection for the northern marine wealth is urged by all persons familiar with the situ- ation, but there is wide diversity of opinion as to the methods that should be employed to prevent depletion. The industry is under federal supervision and recently the government put into effect additional conservation meas ures. Fishery jurisdiction by the Ter ritory is advocated by many Alaskans but the proposal is not likely 10 be favorably considered by United States authorities. In the opinion of those returned senators and representatives who expressed themselves on the sub. ject that the fisheries should remain

COTTON SUPREMACY OF U. s.
 IS NOW BEING THREATENED
Authority Says Control of Boil Wceyil and Better Picking Machine Are
 Badly Needed

Providence. April 25.---The su- premacy of this country in cotton pro- duction is threatened. said w. l.. Clayton of Houston. Texas, in an ad- dress prepared for delivery at the convention of the national association of cotton manufacturers here today. To maintain 1t he asserted, the essen tial things were elimination of the present dumping system" whereby "a commodity is forced on the market in five months which can only be con stunned in 12 months," effective con- tro of the bool weevil, and the in- vention of simple practical cotton picking machine.
 Thirty cent cotton" he said, lis a powerful stimulant to production in other countries. If during this period of high prices these other countries succeed in getting their production policies well under way 1t will not be easy for America to compete"
 The machinery for trading in cotton for future delivery he characterized as perhaps the most valuable facility in the marketing process" adding:
 'grhe present future contract Is the product of federal statute and the trading in it is carefully supervised by department of the government. This trading is worldwide and highly competitive. It is the most scientific and economical method ever devised for fixing the world price of con- modity and is indispensable alike to producer, merchant and manufac- turer. Without 1t the cost of dis tributing the crop would be heavily augmented, fluctuations would be much more violent."

MRS. MAXWELL RESIGNS
AT MT. PLEASANT CHURCH

During the past two years the
music at the Mt. Pleasant M. F..
Church South, Sixteenth and La
mont streets northwest, under the
direction of Elizabeth S. Maxwell,
has attained a very high standard,
and the choir of this church,
through the many notable programs
1t has rendered, has become known
as one of the best in Washington.
The resignation last month of
Mrs. Maxwell as soprano sOloist
and director of church music of
Mt. Pleasant Church, to take effect
June 1, has been received with the
keenest regret by the entire church
membership, and her musical abil-
hy and able leadership will be
greatly missed in the work of the
church.
Prior to taking up her residence
In Washington, Mrs. Maxwell had
been the soloist at a number of large
churches in this country and
abroad. While in England some
years ago she was for three years
the soloist at St. James Church.
London.
She will engage in church con-
voting most of her time to the sea
shore resorts in New Jersey, where
a special effort is made by many
of the churches in the larger re-
sorts TO attract summer visitors

BY WILLIAM MOORE.

A "nationalized" Music Week in
Washington!
This is the avowed purpose of the
musicians and musical organiza-
tons of. the Nations Capital who
are sponsoring the third annual
week of music in this city.
While we IN Washington are
thoroughly cognizant of the fact
that local talent here is second TO
none, in point of artistry and sheer
ability, nevertheless it is meet and
right that at least one or two
representative American musicians
be brought to the Capital during
Music Week to contribute TO the
matchmaking" in fluence.
One of the distinguished visitors
will be Jules Falk, concert violinist
of international fame. He is to
give a series of recitais> Jointly
with DIR. Sigmund Spaeth, noted
lecturer on music and musical mat
tiers, who needs no introduction to
musical Washington, and who has
much to contribute to the ever
growing audience" for music that
music weeks are designed especially
to serve.
Cecil Cowles, a young composer
pianist. is coming with Mr.. Falk as
accompanist So we are to meet
the creative in American music as
well. These three artists are giving
their services because they are en-
thusiastic over the spirit of Music
Week Jules Falk has some things
to say to the young violin student
that makes him a valuable mission
airy in music during this week of
youth and song.
