West of the Mississippi Valley nothing existed save desert and waste, wilderness peopled by | savages, hot desolate lands insthe summer, cold barrens in part in the winter. And to him that hinterland was doomed to remain such to the| end. ; Thus Mr. Treadway visions Alaska. The money heretofore appropriated -and that being| appropriated by Congress has been so much waste The Arctic regions, the vast interior domain, the| more temperate coastal sections are all one in his mind. Except for the timber of Southeastern Alaska timber lands and the fisheries there is nothing economically valuable in the Territory. So he would quit “rainbow-chasing,” lock up the Federal treasury and the Territory at the same time, and charge up any losses to exper-| ience. True he hasn’t laid out a halance sheet £0 no actual losses are set up by him, In a communication from Mr. Treadway to the New York Times, he presents the following indictment: Experience metimes an expensive | teacher, and this is true of this coun- | try’s expenditures in a country where the thermometer itself freezes and where darkn obtains six months each year.

Naturally he speaks with auth- ority on Territorial The assurance with which he speaks of local conditions is as amusing | as the ignorance upon which it is. based is dis- gusting. Without -doubting the sincerity of his convictions, the soundness of his reasoning abil- ity is open to question. In the face of such assurance as he exhibits, to attempt to advance a| contrary view were hopeless.

The increase sponsible for the the United States in scientific fact that knowledge s 11,344 churches ported no additions to membership in 1 in the opinion of A. Edison. Many scientists will disagree with the famous inventor on this subject. It would be safe to say it is held that science and re- ligion go hand in hand by as many scientific leaders as subscribe to a comtrary view. A great many students of the activitie of church organ tions in the United States have become convinced that the greatest handi- cap under which they labor, the that is| driving countless thousands away from their | doors, is the tendency most of them are show- | ing to engage in .politics. This is the view of Rev. Dr. Albert Ribourg, of New York, who re- re- in their Thomas one cently emphatically urged the churches to get out of politics. He points out that it is right and proper for the State to say “You Must,” but that the injunction of the churches should be “You Ought.” It will be conceded, we believe, that at no stage in this nation's history have churches sponsored so many organizations, financed their work and endorsed their activities without ques- tion, as are today meddling in palitical questions. Even while affirming that the State and chnreh must be kept as separate and distinet entities, they press relentlessly onward to a union of n;o . two. Legislative lobbies are maintained in na- tional and State capitals; press and publicity ‘bureaus devoted not to the spread of the gospel but to political propaganda scatter their pamph- lets broadcast over the land; paid workers advo- cate the defeat of this candidate, the election of ‘another, the defeat of legislation or the enact- ‘ment of other laws; all of them assume to speak for the millions of church members not as indi- 1s but es churchmen. More and more they - assume flu nh of censors and function less and in spiritual and moral affairs. ling on this condition Dr. Ribourg sea. 08 B i in advance | and also the | | where [th (Mancheste We had fondly imagined we were on a gold standard.
