If there Is anything that grows on
a man- >oung or old ? It is baseball,
tho most tascluating of all outdoor

Jimmle Chambers, cpatain of one
team, furnished about one-half of

frankly admit
that spuds are
good --
They are the principle article of
diet of some ninty-six million
people in the United State*,
th refore we know that spud*
are good. Beyond making the
assertion of the goodness of

more, it is as far as are limited

Our information is NOT limited

We want to impress this fact on

ernor of Alaska. Secretary of the
lutorlor Lane snid:
"This Is tho first territorial
buuornatorlal appointment that has
botn rnado and It Is made In con
formity with tho policy that I have
adopted to appoint no man to of
fice In Alaska that Is not an actu
al resident of that territory."
After tho expression of such sen
tiuicnts, so clearly defined, can there
be any doubht as to tho secretary's
poller with regard to other and
mora Important matters? None
whatever. Alaska Is to rocolve a
square deal ? so long denied her.
Our coal fields aro to be opened;
railway systems are to bo built, n
hroad, sano policy Is to bo Inaug
urated; this big, rich country
to have her shackles removod, so
that sho may devolope; we are go

right man In tho right placo. ? Sew

President Wilson has appointed a
life-long Republican to be postmas
f r at Prlnseton, New Jorsey. The
President has a way of becoming pol
ltlcally color blind whon a candidate
exceptionally qualified for a posi
tion gels within his range of vision.
Now If Congress will only pa98 n
law prohibiting Alaska Senator
from lobbying In Washington, how
disappointed some self appointee
lobbyists would be.
