SCIENCE ORGANIZED
America prides itself on its genius
for organization. To say that a man
is a great American is almost to say
that he is a great organizer. We have
gone far and gained much in organ
izing our business, our industry, our
agriculture, our labor. But strangely
we have not organized our science.
America made its first step along
this line in establishing the National
Kesearch Council, the avowed pur
pose of which is to mobilize the whole
strenegth of American science for the
promotion of the national well-being
and the advance of science itself.
The great war gave stimulus to
scientific research and application and
to scientific organization. All efforts
to promote the recognized fundamen
tal scientific basis of national strength
and well-being are outgrowths of the
war’s revelations.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
The mail route between McGrath
and Wasilla has been discontinued,
a»
after a try-out of five winters. At no
period of its existence was the Idit
arod-Seward mail route a glittering
success—'twas neither satisfactory
to the people along its course nor a
money-maker for anybody connected
with it.- Iditarod Pioneer.
Congressmen travel and get their
20 cents a mile, and it is a safe bet
that their investigating committees,
traveling all over America and
Europe, did not fail to have a mid
night lunch, whether they worked
late or not. And it might not seem
amiss to respectfully draw to the at
tention of the grand jury the condi
tion existing with reference to jur
ors’ fees in the commissioner’s court
with a view to having them raised
and to secure funds to feed jurors
during the time that they are serv
ing on cases. The grand jury might
see fit to recommend to the depart
ment that the remedial steps be
taken.—Ketchikan Chronicle.

Washington dispatches say Senator
Poindexter is seeking legislation to
make it illegal for Canadian trans
portation lines to charge a lower rate
through Prince Rupert between
Alaska and the East than the rates
between Alaska and the East through
Seattle. It is not likely that congress
will serioi’sly consider such legisla
tion.
If Senator Poindexter would serve
Alaska well he would endeavor to get
a rate via Seattle that would be as
low as that through Prince Rupert.
In these days, wrhen people are inter
' ested in cheaper means of construc
tion and development and lower liv
ing costs, it sounds Strange to hear of
efforts to force people to increase
charges for that service.—Juneau Em
pire.
TREATY BOOSTS THE BALTIC
The Baltic has new importance bj
reason of the changes brought by the
war. An official British statemenl
says “it is no longer merely a shal
low strip of water leading to Petro
grad and Finland, and dividing the
German empire from a distant ant
somewhat vaguely comprehensive
Scandinavia, but a northern Mediter
ranean, washing the coasts of nearlj
as many different and independenl
countries capable of exporting thi
most valuable raw products and o:
absorbing an ever-increasing quantitj
of finished materials.”
There are 3,724 chapters in the Ret
Cross story, and not a dull one in the
lot.
