To the average Alaskan, the a< - '
tlou of ti>o Secretary of the Inter- !
tor and the Secretary of the Navy, in
authorizing the establlsnment of a
home for pioneers at Sitka will bo
taken In a large way nit the very
best evidence of friendship of the
neiv administration for (lie territory
of Alaska.
It Is exceedingly fitting that the
pioneers who, while they may have
fulled to find that fortune for
which they searched, should not be
allowed to become the object of
charity, but should be taken care
ot in a manner befitting their ser
vices to our country.
Alaski now has a rich domain
which would have remained forever
a wlldernes but tor the courage and
onergy of the prospector. The
pioneers ajd the trail-blazer are en
titled to honors greater than the
warrior, or his services are fully as
great, und are wholly constructive
It Is eminently fitting, also that
the home for the Alaska Pioneers
should be located at Sitka. It was
from this place that the first Amcr
1' an pioneer came, and it was from
here that the pioneers spread to
the Gastlneau channel, to the In
terior, to the Copper river, and to
all the vast areas of the far north,

Charles A. Towne, former Con
grtssma.i from Minnesota, and Unit
ed States Senator from that state
for a few days. Is firmly convinced
that eventually we shall have to
fight Japan for the control of the
Pacific. He calls attention to the
fact that Japan with an area of ap
proximated* that of Montana Is the
home of 50,000.000 aggressive, an>
bltous. proud aud Intensely self-con
Mcfent people, ile says It Is plain
Japan must have room to expand.
It seems evident to him that the
desire for expansion will conflict
with our plans for peaceful develop
ment of traffic on the Pacific ocean
If such is to b*_> the case, there is
every reason why we should take
precautions at this time to prevent
the 7-pancso from getting a foot
hold In this hemisphere.
If there Is to be righting at some
future d-.te the part of wisdom for
us Is to insure that the conflict
?hall not be on American soil, but j

having to do tho loug range work. !
if It is to be done. That condition |
would be most likely to Insure against}
anything being attempted, were Mr.
Towne right tn his prediction of
Japanese Intentions. The troublo
wiih Mr. Towne Is that he is es
timating fiituro conditions on the
basis of the present. Conditions in
-rt Orl< ut will be materially chang
ed at the end of a decade. They

a century China is to be a factor
in the control of the* Pacific. It
will not he an idle spectator while
Mr. Towue's prediction Is being ful
fll'ed. liven If China and Japan
were to Join hands thcro Is no need
to worry. Both countries are pro
preslng rapidly. Their citizens are
becoming modernized and may bo di

on the desirability of war, ns they

The flitted States has little dango
ot a war with people who are pro
grtsslng. If we ever have another
war, it is more likely to be with a
nation where prejudice Is stronger

The Federal authorities have fin
ally and officially located the geo

on Dell I-ewls" farm, ton miles north
of Smith center. In Smith county,
Kansas F.owis' only worry over the
proposition is the fear that the
governm ut will come out there and
sell a few square rods of good corn
ground for tho purpose of erecting
a monument marking the spot.
The fact should be enlightening
to New Yorkers who start their Wes
