LEN1NE HAS CASH FOR PROPAGANDA

Russia is a country of huge agricultural productive power, capable of feeding and clothing five times her present population with small percentage of the intensive ac- tivitv applied to farming in Germany, Austria Holland or France Under communist gov ernment which has destroyed the incentive for production the economic life of Russia has been so paralyzed that millions of Rus sians have been saved from starvation only by relief coming from America and other de- spised "capita1ist" nations. Millions of Rus sians now face starvation before this.,vear's s crop is gathered: vet Russia is shipping wheat to Germany. While millions of Russians are doomed to starvation by government which has destroyed production and is too heartles2 to give relief even to the extent of preventing exportations of grains while "capitaist' na tions are shipping in grains free to prevent this horror, the soviet military masters are offer ing free entertainment to party of American Congressional unketeers-Dolitician supposed to be somewhat svmnathptic with bolshevlsm and who are willing to accept financial favorS at the hands of a government winch IS nor- hitting it's own people to starve. Acront'n" such hospitality these politicians are expected to come back to the United States to nrona- gandize in behalf of the military antocrarv which is now strangling free speech and froo press and holding a hundred million people in the most miserable thraldom. The monov spent in hauling a bunch of American noll- ticians over Russia would save several thoH- sand Russians who otherwise will die from starvation before midsummer. If American politicians must go to Russia to gather ma tera with which to defend the system of government in effect there, they ought to % at their own expense or at the expense of Inc traders and financrs in the United States who see possibilities of profit in striking hands with Kaiser Lenine and his red handed associ- ates.

and disembark impatient crowds. The gran deur of the thing cannot be realized save by those who have participated in former oil |stampedes. The magnitude of a great oil field will come home to every Alaskan at this time.
 Wherever money is to be found there will be found the hardy arganaut And his in turn will be followed by the business men and the stampeders. With these will come hordes of those who make it business to prey on the workingman and separate him from his earnings; and last with tagging footsteps will come the Law. Thus step by step is civiliza- ton built up. Thus the waste places are
 peopled and happy children's voices echo where silence now prevails.
 Kanatak is the last frontier. It is the Alaska that was It will bring together for a short time the hardy spirits that built Daw- son. that surmounted the difficulties of the ChilEoot trail, Lage Lebruge and Five Finger rapids. The pioneers who caused a city to spring up out of the tundras at Nome and who have blazed the trails to a thousand former camps, will foregather at Kanatak and the camaradere of the Northland will again be exemplified. Their type runs true to form. There is no place but Alaska where it may yet be found. Be it gold, or silver, oil or coal, the old timer will be found on hand to drive his stakes and do his share in the develop ment of the great Northern Empire-Seward Gateway.

THE MANIA FOR PROHIBITIONS

A bill has passed the lower house of the South Carolina Legislature prohibiting the playing of pool or billiards throughout ''the Palmetto State" A bill has passed both houses of the Oregon Legislature prohibiting the education of children of school age any where except in the public schools A bill IS now law by action of the Legislature of Utah prohibiting the smoking of cigarettes, cigars or pipes In restaurants or any other public place. These recent enactments signify the sort of legislation which organized mi norities all over the United States are placing. upon our statute books.
 The mania for prohibitions in one form or another is countrywide disease. It is an affliction to which the busybodies of both sexes are particularly subject. The spread of this disease and the succumbing to it of our lawmakers is the chief cause of 1awlessness in this country today. An organized minority takes advantage of the indifference of the ma jority and browbeats spineless legislators into writing into law prohibitions that are in de- fiance of the will of the majority. The theory upon which this is done is that having brow beaten a Legislature into making the whim of organized minority legal club with which to tryannize the unorganized majority the busybodies afflicted with this mania for prohibition can call upon the courts to force the majority to obey the law.
 There is limit to the patience of liberty loving and law-abiding majority. It has been passed in many States and an increasing con tempt for minority-made laws is the result The remedy for this condition of affairs is the restoration of representative government and the election to our legislative bodies of citi- zens with the character, courage and common sense to deal with the victims of this wide spread mania for the prohibition of the ex- ercse of the will of the majority in the way that such victims should be dealt with-as maniacs at large in the arena of politics.

KANATAK, THE GREAT

Kanatak the latest of the many camps dot ting the vase eXpanse of the great North land. is destined to great things. It is pro- phesied by those familiar with stampedes in Alaska that town of 1900 to 2000 people will be incorDorated there before the snow flies next fall. In case this forecast is fulfilled Kan&tak will be the trading center for the great district still to the westward; district extending nearly as far as from Omaha to the Coast.
 The possibilities of the camp are still in the future: it's potentialities as yet undeter- mined. Of the hundred or more people already on the ground. every last man has the onti- mism of the o]d-timer and the tenacitv of the nrospector That oil will be found in the district, no one can doubt who is familiar with conditions. That it will be found in paying quantities is also certain. Kanatak lies in a district untouched by the pulsatine hand of trade. For thousands of years it has kept its treasures sealed by rockribbed bands. It is oleaginous wealth. while realized by Alaskans, needed the Midas touch of big capital to unseal it's portals It was no venture for the poor man. consequently, while longing eyes were oftentimes turned in its direction. beyond half hearted exploration by prospec- tor and geoogist it has lain dormant, to bour- geon with the coming of the first drilling into stores, and dwellings, autos and trucks the hum of busy trade to be heard where the wild duck stole its nest and the pharmigan roamed unmolested save by four-footed foes
 With the uncapping of the first big gusher Kanatak will awaken to realization of it's greatness. Steamships crowded with eager (fortune-seekers will sail into its little harbor

return trips to the mines and in construction of roads and every form of land transporta- ton. The utility of the caterpillar in road construction was proved last Summer in a few tests on the Mayo-Keno road. The speed with which it does such work and vast quant- ity of material it handles in grading, graveing and the like will give a far greater mileage of st-class, permanent roads for the same money than otherwise, and thus work a re markable saving of public funds and trans port so essential to the development of the latent resources of the region to their fullest.

CAREFUL, CAREFUL!

A news dispatch from Berlin declares that "Gelmany is losing patience' If France and Belg iuln don't mend their manners if they do not cease taking German territories pos sessing themselves of German industries, as- scssing fines against German towns, disciplin- ing rebel]ious German officials, she will "sever diplomatic relations" Really, really, also we'll, well! In this burst of heroic resentment we find something remindful of more or less classic story: "You have, sir," declared one driven to the verge of desperation, ''slandered my mother, insulted my wife, kidnapped my daughter Have a care, sir. Do not go too far!'

A PERPENDICULAR GRAFTON UNDER
 THE SACRED CODFISH

A Mddlewest college professor described the prayers delivered by some of his faculty associates at chapel exercises as "perpendic- ular orations' The practice of aiming at the Almighty prayers intended for the ears of the )groundlings is not new one The chaplain who passed off diatribe against the Sixty seventh Congress as a prayer on the Massa- clusetts Senate did not pull an original pub Ilicity stunt.
 Presumably the Almighty has better fla cilities for knowing the record of Congress than the good chaplain, who has to depend lon the Boston newspapers for his nforma- Ition Giving the political news to the Lord and interpreting it for Him seems a rather useless performance. The chaplain probably could neither name nor describe half dozen of the hundreds of important measures the Hate Congress considered, and his views as to |1he honesty patriotism and wisdom Of the |Sxtv-seventh Congress have necessarily been obtained second hand from journals which may not be as fair in their statements or l. judgments as they pretend to be.
 If the chaplain of the Massachusetts Senate will study the actual record of the last Con- gross. instead of the criticism of the record |by elements and interests which may not be getting out of the Government all they think it ought to give them in this dyspentic ''morn- ing after'' the war period, he would be more charitable and more sensible in his conver sations with the Almighty on current politics. r. There is quite an opening in Boston and elsewhere for preachers of a Gospel which has more of healing in it for the ills of human |ity than all the politics and government on
 earth, who will think and talk about re- |ligon more than about politics and "econom- ics." If the churches had their job completed
 the people might elect better Congresses, for in this government of public opinion the peo- pie get just as good government as they de- |servo and are willing to work for.
 | Congress is made up of men who are at least up to the American average in honesty. intelligence and patriotism. Most of them
 are products of American churches and col }leges There is always room for question as to the wisdom of given governmental action,
 but the preacher, editor or politician who
 talks of these representatives of the people
 as if they were a collection of nitwits and
 crooks trying to harm rather than help the country merely advertises his own ignorance
 and illiberality.
 This is an era of consciousness, of pessi-
 msm and of narrowing gloom manifesting it.
 self as well nigh universal epidemic in private and public affairs, in theology and politics, demanding remedies, in most cases,
