S d, had been signed in the pre- ceding March and later ratified By the United States Senate and the Russian Imperial Govern- ment. Many reasons for the transfer of Alaska have been advanced, but, behind all of thein, was the Russian desire to let Alaska go to the United States rather than to hold it as a prize for an English naval attack in case of war with that country. Russia sold us Alaska for the* same reason that Napoleon sold Louisiana. It was due to a desire not to centribute to further expansion of Great Britain's colonial wealth. . However, whatever may have been the inter- national complications that led to the sale and pufehase of Alaska, sixty years ago was a great day for Alaska. Fortunate, indeed were her resi- dents of that time and those Wwho since -have become residents that President Johnson and Secretary Seward possessed ‘foresight. While Alaska was long neglected by the Federal Government, different from the experience of far flung possessions of other countries, she was not looted or abused, and now for many years the Government has been making amends for early neglect. She has even gone further with her fostering care than is good for a self-govern- ing race. The present development of the Ter- ritory and the progress of the native races are living witnesses of beneficient interest of a gen- erous Government. The Government often has been unjustly abused for the slower growth experienced by Alaska than that of other of the country’s fron- tiers. The great cause for the tardiness of popu- lation growth, however, rests on other th than legislation or lack of it. Geographical po tions, their topography and other condiiion other frontier sections encouraged settloment People could enter them with wagons. and live stock and a few implements, live off the'soll, and wait for the deveopment of the natural resources. In Alaska it was different. Here conditions made ft necessary to develop natural resources before population would follow. Large families, immi- gration and economi¢ conditi®hs, in the days before American occupation of Alaska, made emi- gration from the older States necessary, and peo- ple gradually moved . farther and farther West. When Alaska was purchased practically the whole region between the Missouri River and the Pacific Coast was a great virgin country awaiting set- tlers. There were only four States in that vast empire — California, Oregon, Nevada and Ne- braska. And only California among those had any considerable population, less than 550,000. " Nebraska was next with 120,000, then came Ore- ‘gon with less than 90,000 and Nevada had not yet 40,000. Colorado, the most populous of the Territories, had about 35,000 population and " Washington, which came mnext, about 20,000; ‘Montana was considerably smaller. Arizona, Jdaho, Dakota (now two Statgs), and Wyoming had 7.000 or 8,000 each. Oklahoma was not yet open for settlement, and .Texas had more than 4,000,000 people to get. before becoming the great State she is. It is not strange that Alaska gained people slowly. However, there was never an American frontier in which so few people accomplished " as much as has been done in this Territory. No X similar popfilntinn ever sent back to the States anything approaching the vast wealth of producte . ‘that has been shipped out of 'Alaska. In no ",,d’fllur frontier, covering the same length of time, . was there so little poverty as, has existed in . this Territory. In none of them was there as m progress in prosperity and development “among the Indlans.

It long has been a marvel to rationally think- ing people that both bootlegger and practically every degree of prohibitionist fight shoulder to shoulder with a frenzied temacity in opposition lu.ihr legalizing of 2.75 per cent. beer.

We need waste no time in arguing that matter. where, Colonel Waddell says that to defeat these big bootleg operators the Federal Government must apply its efforts and money where they count, He asserts that the legalization of 2.75 per cent. beer will make for prohibition, and, for the Govern- ment, many friends among the working classes. It will contribute materially toward a general respect for law and organized government . He says that.at present the sensible laboring man goes without beer because bootleg prices make it expensive and because its quality is poor. In his heart, however, he nurses a grudge. He feels that it is an unfair Government that takes his beer away and at the same time allows the wealthy man to have all the liquor he desires. Colonel Waddell notes also that antagonism toward the Volstead Act is becoming more gen- eral everywhere, and suggests that the one inter- est of all our good people is to find a way out. Congress is feeling the pressure of money and power which is getting into the hands of an exceedingly dangerous class of people, and an- other thing which should influencs Congress to effect this real reform is that .the legislation of will reduce materially the importance of the prohibition issue in the 1928 Presidential | campaign, it not entirely eliminate it—a situa- ton that everybody but the bootlegger and ‘pro- hibitionist wants. ‘ A rational beer amendment to the Volstead Act. will come before ‘Congress. If the prohibi- tlonists are sincere in their “desire to see the bootlegger put out of business and a real en- forcement measure enacted they will urge and assist the adoption of sugh an amendment. Look about you—any- beer Corporal Tanner. o (New . York World.) A marvelous physique must have been that of Corporal Tanner 'to carry him to the age of eighty-three in spite of his loss of both legs, making normal exercise impossible. Thirty-seven years ago when he campaigned for Harrison, he was already the type and foremost example of the Grand Army man in polities. His appoint- ment as Pension Commissioner in 1891 was his reward, and the climactic point of his long office- holding career. “God hely the surplus!”.said Tanner, entering upon ghat officé, He meant it; that was one rea- son why Harrison was forced to displace him. The doughty Corporal must have been amused at what followed. Garfield, ten years earlier, had said that pension expenditure, then $50,000,000, had reached its limit and would decline as the old soldiers died. Under Tanner the annual bill reached $117,000,000. ‘But it was to rise to $144,000,000 on the eve of the Spanish War, and to $172,000,000 in 4. The number of pensioners rose from 676,000 im Tanner's time to just short of a million, the maximum, in 1902. The number of widow pensioners did mnot reach its maximum, 322,294, umtil 1912 Only elderly voters can now fully realize what political power veterans of the Tanner type wielded forty years ago. The American Legion bas not yet attained to ai ing comparable in the way of influencing ‘policies and ap- pointments. Times have anged.
