EDITORIAL PAGE
Id our newt column* today we
are publishing an account of the
Incorporation of a company in Min
nesota for the production of fuel
briquettes out of the practically
waste raw materials of Alaska
Here we have waterpower running
away in millions of horsepower
dally. Here we have vast coal de
posits, some of it of low grade
quality and much of the highest.
Here we have millions of cords of
pin* and spruce timber and waste
wood, containing rosin, pitch, tur
pentine and wood alcohol. This
company proposes to construct a
reduction plant and extract the
pitch, which will be used as a ce
menting material to mix with
powdered coal and press the mass
into fuel bricks. There will be by
products of potash, creosote, lamp
black, and the numerous varieties
of coal tar extracts
The scheme is magnificent in
conception and feasible in execu
tion. It only needs the application
of capital to make It, not only a
dividend wayer for the Investors,
but a benefit to the nation in the
reduction of the present high cost
of llrlng
Wood row Wilson proposes to
walk to the White House on the
morning of his inauguration. Wood
row intends doing this, not because
he particularly likes walking, but
because he wants to set a simpler
pace In the conduct of presidents
and Stat,* officials who have gradu
ally beran adopting styles and hab
its too recal for a citisen of the
republic.
The walking Idea, however, is
somewhat too antiquated to be ser
iously adopted. This is an age of
doing things, and Instead of Wood
row's ambling along to the White
House, it would be more In keeping
with business methods to tip over
there in a taxi and get his swear
ing in done quickly and start re
forming the tariff and the thous
ands of other things that need re
forming. Woodrow is on danger
ous grounds when he attempts to
play up the simple life, because of
the effect he thinks It may have
on the public mind. The public
mind is quick to detect life's trap
pings whether they be snobbish
and spectacular or grandstandlshly
meek and lowly.
B? true to thyself, Woodrow, and
It follows.
As the day does the night.
Thou can'st not be untrue to any
man. j
A cable dispatch from Nome, dat
ed January 7, records the departure
from that place in the depth of
winter of the newly-elected terri
torial senator and two repreeenta
tlves on their way to Juneau, there
to attend the first session of the
first territorial legislature of Alas
ka These legislators have before
i hem a 2,000-mile Journey by dog
team before they can reach the
open wat^r at Cordova, whence
they will take a steamship to Jun
eau, thus completing the last leg of
their long journey. The legislature
itself convenes on the first Mon
day in March.
II will be readied that among
the many objections urged to grant
ing to the people of Alaska the
same measure of self-government
that is accorded every other com
munity over which the American
flag floats was the one that the dis
tances were so great that the fac
ilities of travel so poor that it
would be hard to get a territorial
legislature together. Notwithstand
ing that objection, congress dollber
ately fixed the date for the legisla
ture to convene at a time when It
is the most difficult to travel, and
when the difficulties to be surmount
ed in making the Journey are at
their maximum. During the sum
mer time members of the legislature
could have reached Juneau from all
parts of Alaska with no greater dif
ficulty than is encountered in trav
eling the same distance in any part
of the United States
The meeting of this legislature
will be a memorable event in the
history of Alaska. That country
was acquired from Russia forty
four years ago. For the entire
time which has elapsed since that
date It has been the stepsister of
other American communities. For
many years it did not have even a
pretext of any form of government,
the only federal officers being the
resident collector of customs and
his deputies. Down to the present
time It has been denied the remotest
approach to any form of govern
ment in which the people participat
ed, notwithstanding that there are
more people resident of Alaska than
there were In some of the States at
the time of their admission into the
Union. Alaska now takes one step
forward -Seattle P.-I.

Club Life For Women Has
TVlany Advantages
By Mr?. JOHN ?. CROSBY. President of the National Womrn'i
Democratic League
CUE clubs for women educate their members along practical
lines, and that's the big advantage. I believe in churchcs, but
I'm a practical woman.
THE CLUBS OFFER THEIR MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO THINK AND STUDY ON THE PRACTICAL QUESTIONS OF THE
DAY. AND IN THIS WAY THE FEMININE VIEWPOINT OF PUBLIC
AFFAIRS IS GREATLY ENLARGED.
The clubs work a humanizing effect and permit the women to come
together for discussion of matters of much importance.
Among other things the political education which the members
receive is valuable to the woman.
