ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION PROTECTING AN ALASKA ASSET. For a good many years, more than a quarter of | a century, Wes Myers, of Ketchikan, veteran guide, fisherman, hunter and real sportsman, has been taking visiting sportsmen arcund in the Territory! of Alaska in search of prize heads, handsome rain- bow trout and all the other trophies the vast out- doors of the North offers. In those years Myers has become well acquainted with wild life in the Territory, and a great many of the people that come Matanuska Revival. (Kansas City Star.) Where others show the way, it is always easy to do something. It is the few that blaze the trail and become the real pioneers, That seems to apply to the hitherto deeply troubled colonists in the Mat- anuska Valley, Alaska. The story of the decline and fall of hope among this group from the States is now familiar. It is the revival that constitutes a new chapter; and that has followed from a simple demonstration by the older settlers as to what could be done in the valley. To the colonists at first everything went wrong. 'The land to wish they had been taken seemed barren and unproductive. They did not find at once modern homes with bathrooms and electricity. The food supplied them was not up to expecta- tions. There were murmurs, then outspoken com- plaints. There was no prospect but hard work ahead, and there seemed to be no certainty of re- wards from that. But now the colonists have been witnessing the first harvest, to them, in the far North. It is de- scribed as a rich harvest, the harvest of the earlier pioneers of the valley. It consists of bountiful crops of oats, wheat, hay, peas. There.is talk of building a mill as soon as the acreage of grain warrants it. Already being erected are a power house, a ware- house and a trading post. These, it is said, will be “wired ‘and painted.” This sounds like real progress toward the advanced stages of civilization. is coming. All in all, the new colonists feel better. They have seen and are being convinced. Pioneering, with some assistance, is not so bad after all. Yet there was a day when it was done without assistance. The older settlers in Matanuska know about that. Those Writing Roosevelts. (New York Herald Tribune.) The Cohens may lead the Smiths in the New York City telephone directory, but the Roosevelts as a family seem to be among the most irrepressible producers of books in America. The New York Public Library lists no less than thirty-five volumes of the writings of the great Theodore, including biography, history and nature love. Franklin D. has four vol- umes to his credit.

Not, pri-{ marily, from what has been widely heralded as the “game hog" but, rather, from modern transporta- tion and growing interest in Alaska. He points out that with the airplane capable of reaching fishing | grounds in hours which heretofore required weeks of tough tramping in the woods, there is acute danger of lakes and streams being fished out unless some regulation is set up limiting the catch and then replanting fishing grounds where the supply threal-z ens to become depleted. | In this connection, Myers said that it has been his experience in recent years that camera and | fishing pole are replacing the gun among spor(s-: men coming to the North. The big majority of the outdoor parties seem primarily interested in catch- ing some of Alaska's famous fish, he finds, and big game hunters are leaning more and more tol taking pictures of the big brown bear, sheep and; other wild life rather than getting a prize head. Sportsmen from the States, such as Corey Ford, Alastair MacBain and others, have previously re-! ‘mihded Us of the growing interest in Alaska fishing and the need, as they see it, of preserving the fish as a natural asset. The same thought coming from an Alaskan well acquainted with conditions over a Jong period would indicate there is more to it than! simple theory. This season some 30,000 tourists visited Alaska, leaving thousands of dollars in the Territory. In the years to come the travel tide to the North will grow, and in it will be the fishermen, encouraged by | the accessibility of fishing grounds due to increased air transportation. If Alaska is to capitalize on its natural assets, it appears not a bit too early to conserve that portion of them which can very easily be depleted, as conditions in the States testify. Tour- ists can't carry away Mt. McKinley, but they can very well eliminate good sport fishing over a period ' of years unless restrictions are put in effect. METHODISM. A man’s religion like his domestic life is' his own affalr, but every now and then some individual comes along who insists on flaunting his before the world. Then it is that the public can be forgiven for displaying an interest, and, perchance, com- menting this way or that. o Take the case of Mr. Denman. Burt J. Denman, head of a huge power company in the East. For many years, yea, since he could remember, Mr. Denman, now 59, had been a Methodist, and was until recently a pillar in the First Methodist Church | of Evanston, Ill. During the power lobby fight of the recent Congress, Zion's Herald, a Methodist publication, as well as some others, took occasion to comment rather sharply on how the utility interests such as Mr. Denman represented were spending large sums of money against what the religious' publication interpreted as the public good. The utility magnate with 'a group of influentnal men | such as himself got together and issued a statement in which they deplored the leftist swing of Meth- odism as a result of the interest the publication had} shown in the matter. Zion's Herald hinted rather | broadly that the statement and the men back of it! smelled rather strong of money. i In a sharp letter to the Herald editor, Mr. Denman announced he was withdrawing from the Methodist Church. The editor, Lewis Hartman, ex- pressed regret and said he hoped the utility king “may find a satisfactory church home in some other denomination.” Of course, one should not question the sincerity of Mr. Denman’s religion, but we can but marvel at the depth of his Methodism. Ketchikan and Sitka can boast of their rainfall but we haven't heard of their fish taking to the hills like they were reported doing here during the week-end deluge.

In addition, President Theodore Roosevelt's two sisters, Mrs. Cowles and Mrs. Robinson, each had volumes to her credit, and his daughter, Mrs. Alice Longworth, has one. As for magazine articles, the list makes even the Cohens seem inarticulate. This may explain why the “young colonel,” to wit, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has gone into the publishing business with Doubleday, Doran and Com- pany. It is clear that a yearning for books—cer- tainly the writing if not the reading of them—runs through the whole tribe. Colonel Roosevelt himself, with seven volumes already to his credit, comes naturally by his interest in book production. He has told in “All in the Family” of the great part that books played in his childhood. In widely varied fields, as his own writings testify, he can bring an expert interest to his coming task. As soldier, as Governor of Puerto Rico and as velt has an already distinguished record. have equal success in his new venture! May he It’s a Good Theme Anyway. (Kansas City Times.) We are told that “youth” was the theme of 71- year-old William Gibbs McAdoo as he and his 25- year-old bride flitted from East to West, stopping here and there to chat with reporters. Well, that is as it should be: One may under- stand that youth would be uppermost in Senator McAdoo’s mind and that he will do a lot of think- ing about it from here on out. “Youth” is some- thing about which one thinks little until it is gone, and certainly the California Senator has passed the callow stage, It was time he was thinking about it. It is easy to travel along with the wartime Di- rector of Railroads up to that point, but when he says he is “a better man at 71 than he was at 40,” 'we drop off. Of course the Senator may have meant he is a better man morally and spiritually, and that he knows more. That would explain it. It is comparatively easy to show moral and spiritual im- provement in the decades after 40, and surely age should bring wisdom. The marriage of the twice-married Senator Mc- Adoo primarily is a personal and private matter between him and his bride. But some liberties must be permitted to the public because he long has been a national figure. Therefore, the Senator cannot Be offended if, in the conversation over tea tables, at luncheons, in club rooms and over bars, the ‘phllosophy he expounds when he alights at air- ports is subjected to the sort of dissection that is fatal to a turkey around Thanksgiving and Christ- mas. Not Inheritable. (New York Times.) The expected, the inevitable, is happening to the Long machine in Louisiana. It is already break- ing up into factions. No one man nor group among |{the Long following is able to control the forces ‘which the late Senator built up and used to such effect. His former lieutenants and subordinates meet to profess loyalty to his memory, and even resolve to make their own his political cry, “Share the Wealth,” but in the same breath they announce that they have no purpose of continuing his fight against President Roosevelt. On the contrary they are most anxious to establish friendly relations with the Washington Administration. What they mean by this is that they would very much like a share of the Federal patronage and a large slice of Fed- eral funds allotted to their State. Senator Long was only a dictator in little.
