Alaska's needs, comments Gov. Scott C. Bone in his frst annual report long ago became a threadbare subject ot discussion. To which the apt reply would be a favorite remark by Co!. W. G. Greeley, chief forester :"The problem of Alaska is fundamentally the application of common eensa and efficiency to public business." In detail, Alaska's governor states this thesis of common sense and efficiency, and, does so in terms cf the humanity occupying the great territory of the aorta, so thai the personal side of the situation Is easily In brief, what Got. Bone urges for Alaska Is liberalis laws and more flexible rules and regulations under saen laws, with a concentration of authority and responsibility and an administration co-ordinated and brought closer home. Interpreted, this is a protest against the multiplicity of bureaus In Washington which have charge- of different phases of Alaska affairs "overlapping bureaus," the governor says, "admirable and efficient in their personnel but confusing and complicating ta their operation." Alaska's far removal from th seat of government tee average mail transport from Juneau is two weeks, and the vast extent of the territory itself, Nome being as far from Juneau, the capital, in point of time, as Juneau is from Washington, are cited as arguments why a centralised authority in Washington, directing all of Alaska's official business, should have responsible representatives in the territory, authorized to transact that business without the delay of journeys to the continental United States for hearings and without waiting for the periodical and insufficient visits of special commission. The hardships worked by delay, inevitable under the system of multitudicus government agencies, the governor points out as being severe especially in those parts where the season of operation is brief. Promptness is decision expedition of business, and the consequent attraction of capital and people to Alaska are ths logical program as he sees it. Governor Bone states his case simply, and eloquently. The report is a grod document to to read sinca there is no doubt far reaching decisions of policy toward Alaeak must be made before long and in readiness for that time the American public should be willing to prepare themselves for scrutinizing the process by which their very rich northern territory is to be developed. Concentration of authority seems an obvious step in the. right direction. Road building and the development of the postal service means another. Chiefly, however, there should be a definite pcliey toward Alaska, net rigid, but based on the best knowledge and experience available, and capable of being adapted to the swift changing conditions of the nation's liv.-ng.
A FRIEND OF AMERICA. James Bryce wrote "The American Commonwealth in the true spirit of criticism. He had uncommon capacity fcr such work. He produced other historical books of groat merit, but none which added to the fa.ne
secured to him by this one. No one was more astonished than he by the reception of the work, in the United States especially where it was accepted as the authoritative study of our political institutions. The material had been gathered also at hsizard, Mr. Bryco was wont to declare, and the book was designed to enlighten hi3 own countrymen on a subject of which they were sadly igncrant. But he brought to his study an extraordinarily keen mind and unusual depth of understanding, coupiod with sympathy and interest not theretofore evinced by Englishmen in American afTairs. His statement of facts and the opinions he formed from consideration cf them withstood every test of examination. His work became au American text book and in large degree it has formed that starting point of all historical studies of the government of the United States undertaken since its issue. Viscount liryce was one of tho grand old men of Great Britain. He devoted many years to the service of his country and its government, but the fruits of his diplomatic and personal labors usually were of such kind that their benefits were widely enjoyed. He contributed vastly to strengthening the bonds of friendship, through creating better understanding, between Great Britain and the United States. On his last visit to the country, as a lecturer at the Institute of Politics at Williams College, Massachusetts, h contributed notable to the advanced thought of the world through his criticisms of the Versailles treaty and the bitter fruit thereof which the people were reaping.
PERSHING'S MODESTYWhen the naval rcw over the award of war decorations is recalled the refusal of General Preshlng to accept either a medal of honor or a distinguished service cross is especially notable. Having declined the original proposal to honor him with a medal of honor for his personal courage in leading his men against the Moros in 1913. the array board hoped he wculd accept the lesser honor of the distinguished service cross and arranged to have a secretary of war bestow it at a surprise party. The General heard of it and forestalled the intention, declaring he "did not consider his action measured up to the high standards set by the American Expeditionary Fcrce, and that he had suspended hundreds of recommendations for the cross based on acts more deserving than his own." It would be well if awards of military and naval decorations were always premised on the exalted standard held by General Pershing. Lack of proper discrimination in such matters must cheap the award, which shculd always be guarded against. At the same time it is a remarkable commentary upon the progress of military routine that General Pershing's act in the
campaign against the Moros should have had to wait !so long for the proposed reccgnition.
A GOOD CONGRESSMAN. The New York Tribune finds matter over which to editorialize in that the agricultural Moc of the senate is made up of "twenty lawyers, one newspaper editor and a well digger." If the farmers are really anxicus to have a "dirt farmer" upon the Federal Reserve Board," says the Tribune, "why have tbey not elected a dirt farmer to represent them in congress?" And it complains that lawyers have , pretty nearly a monopoly of public office in the United States. As a matter of fact, the farmers of the United States could make no greater mistake than to choose a representative merely because he is a "dirt farmer." So long as the congressman understands the purpose for which he is sent to Washington, is competent to fulfill that purpose, and is determined to hold sacred his trust, that .man is a prcper representative. Whether he be a doctor, lawyer, dirt farmer, merchant or priest.
