Not So Fantastic.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.


 letter to the editor of the New York Herald Tribune recently asked why noble CD Congress- men" don't advocate giving up Alaska to the h. IdianS?"
 The correspondent merely sought to show what she believed the futiiy of Congressional decision ito free the Philippines. They might well, she felt free" Alaska because there certainly fuss enough made over the purchase of that part of our territory by persons wise as our present Congressmen think they ?
 The idea isn't fantastic it sounds We who live in Alaska would not be surprised at any time to hear that someone in Congress thinks Alaska ought to be sold given away. Of course it isn't likely that such proposition would get far enough to shed light on Aaskas riches From the standpoint of size Alaska deserves far help from the Federal Government than she gets. In principle, we should think that Ter lrtory is place where development could be carried to give for overpopuated dis rictS outside and to produce forms of industry for the millions of unemployed We all know that Alaska support millions lof population with comparatively little develop ment But most people Outside don't know that. We might safely assume that most Congressmen don't know it either.

WHY DOES NOT HOOVER TURN TT
 OVER TO ROOSEVELT?

If President Hoover is really anxious to have Presidsnt- Elect Roosevelt the responsibility for debt settlements or for other matters why does he not get out of the way and let Roosevelt have the authority in the premises? He could ap- point MT. Roosevelt Secretary of State and he and Vice-President Curtis could resign. MT. Roosevelt would then become President
 Mir. Hoover has made quite a feature of having bipartisan conferences on important matters and later taking credit for his party when fol- lowed and blaming the other party when failure was the outcome great many close observers feel that he has been setting traps for MT. Roosevelt. It is conceded that if this has been his purpose he has failed to catch his man.

Philosophy of Comfort.
fNeW York Times.)


 Virginia Woolf who is Thackerays granddaughter and Sir Leslie Stephens daughter, had charming piece in The London Times the other day, her fathers centenary. It not about the author and the editor, but the man in his own household One loves to remember ong-legged Leslie, athlete and mountaneer for his famous saying that Swift 1 had the characteristic passion of the good and wise for walking" Even persons of the most modest pedestrian achievement nourish little pride the strength of that dictum Edmund Gosse records that most of the walks which he accompanied Stephen were speeches." Once, dining at Stephens his host said scarcely word, absorbed in contemplation of his beard and the universe Yet Go.se wasn't offended. There something pleasant in the silence. He could talk well enough but at home his daughter tells us, "hs remarks made suddenly in i a low voice between the puffs of his pipe were extremely effective" He loved silence, He hated bores Sometimes, especially after he became deaf he seemed inhosptable
 "I the most easily bored of men,"
 he wrote, truthfully usual; and when as
 was inevitable in large family visitor
 threatened to stay not merely for tea but
 also for dinner, my father would express his anguish by twisting and untwisting certain lock of hair. Then he would burst
 out, half to himself half to the powers
 above, but quite audibly Why can't he
 go? Why can't he go?" Yet such is the
 charm of simpicity-and did he not say also
 truthfuly, that "bores the salt of the
 earth"?-that the bores seldom went, or, if they did. forgave him and came again Dexterous with his fingers with his feet he could twist paper into the shapes of animals to amuse the children or draw pictures for them. The fly leaves of his books with owls and donkeys as if to illustrate the o you ass!' 'Conceted dunce!' that he wont to scrbble impatiently in the margin" Hardy, looking at the Schreckhorn, was reminded of Stephen, who had scaled its horn:
 Drawn on by vague imaginings maybe,
 Of sembance to his personality In it's quaint glooms, keen lights and
 rugged trim
 He who had so often hazarded his life knew how to be comfortable:
 In London he wrote in the large room
 with three long windows at the top of the
 house. He wrote lying almost recumbent in low rocking chair, which he tipped to
 and fro he wrote, like cradle and as he wrote he smoked a short clay pipe, and scattered books around him in circle.
 It is a pleasant picture of this member of a sngularly gifted family, represented on the spindle side by an authentic genius.

DIR. BUNNELL IS ON THE RIGHT
 TRACK.

Dr. Charles E. Bunnel President of the Alaska College, is rendering public service in calling atten- tion to the wisdom of the suggestion that the deplc- tion exemption in computing income taxes on gold mines ought be raised from Is per cent to 50 per cent. While in the East recently he urged such action to the American Mining Congress, to members of the United States Congress and other influential officials and citizens At Seattle he addressed the Chamber of Commerce on the subject He asks for cooperative effort on the part of commercial and other organizations particularly in the Western min ing States and Alaska to bring about the change,
 The need for more gold in the country as the basis for the money of the people is one of the greatest needs of the times. Gold goes straight to the foundation of the economic structure of the country as soon it is released from the ground, strengthening financial industrial, commercial and other phases of activity And it remains to work without cessation through the generations
 Anything that the Government might do to en- courage gold production is a worth while public service
 Dr Bunnell quoted the estimate of Dr. Philip S. Smith of the Geological Survey that the unmined gold reserves of placer grounds in Alaska amount to more than S50oOOOO0O and that the reserves of the gold lodes are much greater
 No worthy effort in behalf of employment and general improvement than to encourage miners and prospectors to get this gold out of the ground and at work can be imagined
 Not only ought the suggestion that the exemp- ton for taxes be increased from 15 per cent. to 50 per cent be adopted, here it is in Canada, but the appropriation for the Geological Survey in Alaska stricken by the House of Representatives, ought to be restored by the Senate
 Alaska's gold production is increasing and the attention of mining men has been attracted to it.. That interest ought to be capitalized by lend- iro every n0sshla encollrap
 It is good time to remember that Canada's gold production is increasing much faster than that in the United States Canada allows the 50 per cent. for depletion. We ought to profit by her example.

CRAB MEAT.

The President has approved the findings of the Commissions report states that costs of production in the United States and in the principal compet- ing country do not furnish adequate basis for determining the duty under Section 336 Crab meat the principal source of imports; and Chesapeake Bay is the center of United States production Inn ports in 1881 amounted to II 26096 pounds valued at s44 430.72l
 The reasons given by the Commission for not comparing domestic and foreign costs of production are as follows
 (a) The domestic and the imported crab meat are produced from two widely differ ent species of crabs each yielding meat distinguishable in taste, color, and tex ture;
 6bl Both the domestic and the imported meat are packed ill variety of grades. About 75 per cent. of the imported product is high grade fancy meat but only 29 per cent of the domestic product is the high grade fancy pack;
 tc, All imports are -perishable, pack ed in sealed tins and capable of national distribution Only about two per cent. of the domestic production is thus packed; the remaining 98 per cent. is the highly perish abla cooked meat packed in unsealed tins;
 fd) Wholesale prices of the domestic meat have fallen materially during the past three years, whereas prices of the

imported product have remained almost stationary. The marked decrease in the price of the domestic product has been caused mainly by increased production and the physical difficulties of effecting wider distribution.

Manners and Morals
by JANE JORDAN

Let Jane Jordan help you with your
troubles Write your letters to this col
umn and read your answers in few days
Dear Jane Jordan-Why is it
that when a fellow con1des in
girl, he expects her to keep 1t
deep. dark secret. but when the
girl confdes in him, he quickly tat
ties. That has been my expert
ence.
I thought I could trust a fellow
with a secret much more readily
than girl. But I was sadly mis-
taken. Yes, had a boy friend
whom I trusted. I thought that
he understood me and that
could voice a few of my opinions
to him. But oh, no Only his
opinions and troubles are impor-
tant.
He thought I was in love with
him. In fact, he became afraid
that I might take him seriously
and ran from me as if I were
something dangerous. He is self
centered and admits it. He thinks
no girl is good enough for him.
He does have an attractive per-
sonality, but he overeStimates
himself to the extent that he
snubs almost every one of his kind
and thinks that he belongs amidst
the most successful of people. For
a long time 1 was blind to his in
sufferable conceit, but my eyes
are open now and they aren't
going to be that blind again.
Now I feel revengeful. I am
totally indifferent with every fell
low I know and meet. 1 value
myself too highly to let any fell
low think he has me under some
kind of spell, with his masculine
WonderfulnesS M.
Answer-YOu are mistaken in try
ing to generalize about a particular
Why should you hang
this boys traits on others, or Use
him as a standard by which to judge
other men?
AS you describe him, this young
man seems to be a strongly ego
centric type, highly pleased with
himself. To exalt his own ego. he
never hestitates to tear another
persons down. The embarrassment
of another only serves to make hin
feel more important by contrast.
No doubt he thinkers with the
truth to maintain his lofty opinion
of himself. If he succeeds, he ex,
his success. If he fails
it was not his fault, but the result
of accident. His type is easy tt
recognize, but it is by no means al
general as you think.
You reveal a weak spot in You
own psychology by showing a lacE
of resiliency. You have been disap.
pointed and you refuse to get ove1
it. You want to hurt all of then

edness, for no man loves a woman
who debates his ego.
You can not raise your value one
whit merely by decrying the value
of somebody else, yet this is what
you are trying to do. The happlest
men in the world are those whose
wives are under the very spell of
the wonderful masculinity which
you repudiate.
Therefore, do watch your step.
Don't let one unhappy experience
poison your whole outlook and I'M
fit you for love when it comes.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am a boy
Of 10 and I have been going with
a girl of Is. Her house is a reg
ular hangout for all the boys of
Broad Ripple. I care for her.
but she has bad habit Of flop
ping on the first fellows lap who
enters the house. That is the
reason I don't love her.
She smokes and drinks, but I
don't mind that, for most of the
Broad Ripple boys like to see girls
smoke and drink. Id like for you
to advise me how I could keep her
from Hopping on other fellows
laps
have told her many times
that I didn't like it, but it just
goes in one ear and out of the
other. DO you think I should drop
her, which would be easy to do,
and find a girl who is much nicer?
STUPID BUD.
Answer think any young lady
who is easy to drop should be
dropped. 1t is very bad taste on
her part to sit in the laps of her
callers. She will have to learn that
men value the woman who reserves
her intimate gestures for them
alone, and then only in private.
The great difference between her
attitude toward her sweetheart in
private and the front she puts up
in public constitutes one Of her
chief charms for him. There is
nothing fattering in being caressed
by a girl who caresses everybody
else with equal enthusiasm.
1t shocks me that a girl of Is
should be permitted To drink. This
probably accounts for the dulIing OF
her perceptions and the general
lowering of her taste.
