[ # —_— MR. LEEHEY ON GEN. RICHARDSON. Maurice D. Leehey, learned mining lawyer who has spent so much time in Alaska and whose pro- fessional work and personal interest have made him almost if not quite as much an Alaskan as Seattleite, always proponent of the verities, par- ticularly when Alaska is concerned, has interested himself in reminding peopl> of the commanding services the late Gen. W. P. Richardson rendered the North country during his life time. He declares that not only did Gen. Richardson father and carry into effect the Government road system in Alaska, but he did more to get the Alaska Railroad than anyone else. In a telegram, following Gen. Richardson’s death, to Major Glen E. Edgerton, Gen. Richardson’s per- sonal friend and associate for many years in the Alaska Road Commission, Mr. Leehey said: The passing of Gen. Richardson closes the most important career in the develop- ment of Alaska. His influence on the War Department and on Congress not only cre- ated the Alaska Road Commission but alo started the movement which resulted in the Alaska Government Railway. It is simple justice to say that the entire inland trans- portation system of Alaska proceeds from the vision and work of that great pioneer soidier, Alaska’s revered Major Dick. This telegram was followed by a letter to Major Edgerton from Mr. Leehey, that was subsequently printed in the Seattle Times, in which Mr. Leehey said: My telegram does not exaggerate in the slightest. Major Dick was not only the pioneer in actual road work in Alaska but was also the pioneer advocate of roads and trails. And he was the most effective ad- vocate, because his influence with the War Department, even before Alaska had a Leg- islature, started the Alaska Road Commis- sion, and its splendid work in which you had such an important pioneer part. The then Major Richardson first aroused the in- terest of Congress, both by voice and pen, and still more effectively by the results he and his organization achieved in the field. He actually created that sentiment which re- sulted in the Alaska Government Railway. Now it is this point I would especially im- press because, very unjustly, an impression has been created that he fought the con- struction of that railway. Nobody has done so much for the Alaska Railway as did Gen. Richardson. This state- ment is true and the fact that should be made clear in justice to his memory. It is true that he was opposed in principle to the building by the Government of a railway in Alaska. He opposed the plan honorably as a matter of principle, but that does not alter the fact that his work not only created the sentiment for the Government railway, but his influence in Washington prevented the abandonment of the railway by the Gov- ernment during the World War. I speak from personal knowledge as a member of the Seattle delegation to Washington, where I went personally on four different occasions. While sole credit for the railway is due to Secretary Lane and the Wilson Administra- tion, the bill never would have passed Con- gress had advantage not been taken of the opportunity and the Seattle committee “struck while the iron was hot.” Thus the passage of the bill was secured just one year after President Wilson was inaugurated. The World War began five months later. Since that hour no appropriation to begin the work could have been obtained from Con- gress. Gen. Richardson was a eritic, but a help- ful and constructive critic. Justice to his memory requires that this fact be under- stood, and also that without his aid, espec- ially in the valuable information he gave and suggestions he made when this country entered the war, the proposal to abandon construction work would have doubtless pre- vailed. Thus the career of Gen. Richardson, I repeat, was the most important of any in the development of Alaska. All agree that the great problem of Alaska progress was and still is transportation. He was the apostle, the advocate, the creator of senti- ment, and the actual organizer and first director of the work on the roads and trails which now on the map of Alaska pretty well connect the principal centers of popu- Iation and industry. The system is his, giv- ing him proper credit for the work of the splendid organization he formed. The Al- aska transportaiton system is a fitting monu- ment to the great life and work of that valiant army officer, that pioneer of vision and courage, that nobleman of determination and sacrifice, who as long as memory lasts will be cherished and loved by those who long connoted more sorrow than anger—a condition of sad irritation. There have been times in the {American Congress when the word would be regard- ed more as a term of endearment than one of opprobrium. Erecting new school buildings is a perpetual and growing industry in New York. This year nineteen new buildings will be built at a cost of more than $20,000,000. Some of this money will be spent for additional sites for buildings in the future. Most of the expenditure will be in Brooklyn, Queens and Bronx Burroughs, where population increases most rapidly. Bolivia’s Need for a Seaport. (New York World.) The news of continued Bolivian-Paraguayan fric- lion is to be read in connection with the statement from the Bolivian Legation in Washington that the Tacna-Arica settlement by no means closes ‘“the historic question of the Pacific.” Shut off from the ocean, Bolivia looks eastward for a partial outlet. In the zone disputed with Paraguay she has occu- pied the right bank of the Paraguay River, and much of her commerce seeks that stream. Mean- while she remembers that she once held the Prov- ince of Antofagasta, on the Pacific, and hopes some arrangement will be made to give her a port be- tween Chile and Peru. Few countries of Bolivia's importance are com- pletely landlocked. In the last European settle- ment the powers took pains to distribute access to the sea. Czecho-Slovakia has use of the Elbe and (like Hungary) the Danube; she has important ports at Pressburg and Teschen; and the treaty guardntees her certain wharves in Hamburg and Stettin. Poland was given a corridor to the Baltic, is constructing a great harbor at Gdynia, and is launching a commercial fleet. =Austria’s rapproche- ment with Germany has given her for most practi- cal purposes the commercial facilities of that nation. It may be said that Bolivia is no worse off than Switzerland. But her situation is very different. She has an area not of 15000 square miles but of 515,000; she is not a small and essentially neutral- ized State surrounded by powerful neighbors, but a nation nearly twice *as large as Chile and approxi- mately as large as Peru; her neighbors have not been magnanimous but unfriendly. Moreover, she possesses such minerals wealth that her future de- velopment will be tremendous. A nation of such size and strength cannot be kept permanently from the seacoast without danger of an explosion. We need only recall Russia’s long struggle to gain a war-water port, or the feelings of American settlers in the Mississippi Valley when the mouth of the river was held by Spain. Some settlement should yet be made which will satisfy Bolivia’s natural aspirations. “Proper to Be Prosecuted.” (Manchester Guardian.) In the May number of his literary review, “Life and Letters,” Mr. Desmond MacCarthy raises a very useful point in connection with the prosecution of books alleged to be obscene. All such proceedings nowadays are taken under Lord Campbell's Act of 1857, a measure whose prime object was to sup- press a nasty trade then flourishing in a particular area in London—in short, a commerce in beastliness which could not and did not find a serious defend- er. The Act used the word “obscene” without definition, and we have since been compelled to accept Chief Justice Cockburn's extremely vague explanation of obscenity as that which may “de- [Prave and corrupt those whose minds are open to immoral influences.” Mr. MacCarthy reminds us that to concentrate on this phrase, by which enor- mous quantities of first-rate literature could rea- sonably be condemned as obscene, is to misunder- stand the Act. The essential words, he thinks, are in the proviso that aetion should only be taken where the articles or books “are of such a char- acter and description that the publication of them would be a misdemeanor and proper to be prose- cuted as such.” The last phrase is there to cover the case of a book generally admitted to be blame- less or even noble in which happenings or words occur that in isolation or in other surroundings might be regarded as liable to corrupt. Obscene things, for instance, may happen in the Old Tes- tament or in Shakespeare's plays, but they are’ not “proper to be prosecuted as such” because of the artistic or ethical intention. Lord Campbell's Act, accordingly, does admit, indeed it actually insists, that the author's general purpose and muam‘ reputation are valid evidence for a defense in a charge of obscenity, A defense of the kind was recently forbidden in the courts, with the result that a work of art may now be condemned without reference to its general tenor or the judgment ot reputable critics, but simply by the process of pick- ing out words and phrases, Mr. MacCarthy's con- tention is that Lord Campbell's Act should defin- itely safeguard the author from a form of attack to which the interpretation of the Act has recently made him a powerless victim.
