SEES HANDSOME PROFIT

Senator Willis thinks there is no reason for Encouragement as to the future development of Alaska.
 We have the same problem in Al aska that we had in Kansas and Neb- raska 10 years ago, and in Montana and Idaho 40 years ago. said Senator Willis. "The only question is wheth- CT we shall have the vision and the American spirit to go ahead with the solution of this problem, or whether we shall be frightened and finally de- stroy and emasulate the whole proper ty so that the vast empire shall lie there for other generations, untouched and undeveloped."
 Representative Vestal believes that Alaska has paid handsome profit on the investment, skeptics to the con trary notwithstanding.
 'It is admitted that it has produced approximately one and one-quarter billions of gold, minerals and raw products that have been shipped to the States" said MT. vestal. "Of this over s353,OOO,OOO has been in gold. The wealth that this Territory has pro duced has not repained there, but has come to the States and has been no small factor in the building up of the Pacific coast"

THE REFORMING BUSINESS


There more than 100000 persons in the United
States affiliated with reform movements bearing on
human conduct. One-sxeth Of the population is inter-
esting itself in the behavior habits and of the
other ffty-nine. More than 100000 Americans have
generously volunteered to be their "brothers keeper
This vast army Of "reformcrs" is charged with
carrying forward those companion banners Of purif
cation, Thou shalt not" and "Anti-everythng" They
the sef-appointed guardians Of the public morals
They inspired with the thought Of pcA.c service
although they often accused Of the less noble pur-
Of striving to take from others those things for
which they themselves have particular use or fancy
The vicious and startling thing about this Of
reformers is not that the reformers number mil
hons but that although they represent only one-sx-
teth Of the whole population, they frequently force
their commandments upon the other fifty whine sxteths
of the population. Organization has given these re-
form mnortes sufficient power TO rule vast majorities
not in sympathy with them The reforming business
in the United States has become a highly profitable
for those who make it their life-work and as long
IS the missionary instinct resides in the human mind
the reforming urge will furnish pleasant and exciting
recreation for those who have no business of their own
to mind.

that need revision 1t is time that those who live by
crime who transgress the law with the almost Ger

There is criminal law which needs revising that
the bar association has evidently overlooked. That is
the one which deprives intoxicated persons only from

law was originally drafted provision included
to prohibit reckless careless drivers from driving
