EARLY PIETY
The Alaska salmon are like the
hairs on a man’s head—no attention
is paid to them until they start dis
appearing, aptly remarks the editor
of the Douglas Island News. They
resemble each other in other ways
also, he says—the disappearance of
them can be traced to early piety. Lot
hope that the bringing back of the
salmon will not be as hard as the
growing of new hair on a bald head.
The remedies suggested for the re
stocking of the waters of Alaska re
mind us somewhat of the hair restor
ers that are on the market. They both
eontain some sweet-smelling essence
under a high-sounding name.
Without a doubt the recent meet
ing in Seattle of the different inter
ests concerned in the salmon industry
will be conducive of good. At the
meeting everyone was brought to a
realization that the Alaska salmon
should be conserved. They all agreed
that the salmon belongs to a disap
pearing species. When all have
agreed on that fact they have a com
mon ground upon which to start from.
It is true that the fishes that swim
in the waters belong to all the people
of the fiation, but Governor T>iggs hit
the nail squarely on the( head when
he said that Alaskans would like to
take over the responsibility of han
dling the salmon question of the
waters that wash the shores of Alaska.
We are right 're on the ground, the
salmon is a ;al part of our lives.
We understand conditions as they ex
ist. We know the peculiarities of our
people and how to handle our resi
dents as no government bureau does.
The silver beauties that swim in
the clear, cold waters of Alaska are
dear to our hearts. We love every
scale on their bodies. We want the’"
to increase and multiply so that they
may become as the sands of the sea
shore. We want our streams to be
filled with the silves hordes for gen
erations to come, so that our chil
dren and our children’s children may
enjoy salmon, grilled or fried. For
this reason we should like to have
the regulating of the salmon industry.
We and our children are going to live
in the territory, and if our salmon
are to be regulated, we should like to
do the regulating.

RETIREMENT OF SECRETARY
LANE
Secretary of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane, the Washington advices tell
us, expects soon to retire from public
office. The report says he will be
come the active head of a big Balti
more fiduciary concern. After devot
ing nearly eight years to the public
service, at a salary entirely incompati
ble with his great ability, the big sec
retary of the interior feels that he is
entitled to earn a little money for
himself, so as to make provisions for
old age.
Secrmary of the Interior Lane has
been the sincere and devoted friend
•f Alaska. He has* worked unceas
ingly for the development of the ter
ritory. His efforts have always been
constructive rather than destructive.
Upon assuming his duties in the in
terior department he found • that the
affairs of Alaska were being directed
by a dozen or more departments of
the federal government. These de
partments were jealous of their re
spective functions and worked in
many cases at cross purposes. He
sought to have the affairs of Alaska
placed in the hands of a commission,
with headquarters in Alaska, thus
bringing about co-ordipation in all
matters and policies affecting the ter
ritory. The congress failed to pass
the necessary legislation looking to
- i
the formation of this commission.
Most Alaskans, we believe, favored
this commission idea as a solution
of the present perplexinig and cum
bersome situation. Perhaps we should
say Alaskans favor complete state
hood for the territory, but in lieu of
statehood they favor a commission
made up chiefly of citizens of Alaska,
familiar with its needs.
The secretary from the first fcas
favored the building of the govern
ment railroad in Alaska. He favored
the opening of the coal and oil bear
ing lands of the territory, and is now
working on a broad, comprehensive
scheme for the settlement of the ter
ritory, realizing that Alaska needs
people if its resources are to be ade
quately developed.
In the retirement of Secretary • of
the Interior Lane Alaska will lose the
persistent aid of a big public official,
j who has been one of its most devoted,
! earnest and intelligent friends. He
i sought to aid in the development of
j the latent resources of the territory;
! he has, indeed, greatly aided Alaska
| by his unceasing efforts-to build the
government railway.
It is the hope of Alaskans that his
successor will be as active imAlaska’s
behalf as Secretary Lane.—Alaska
Dispatch.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Somebody besides John D. Rocke
I
feller ought to be interested in seeing
that college professors and school
teachers get decent pay. We must not
get the let-John-do-it habit.—Juneau
Empire.
If Herbert Hoover should ever be
come President of the United States
there would be a celebration one of
these days and the country would be
lighted from the Atlantic to the Arctic
with bonfires made of burning red
• tape.—Juneau Empire. *
Some towns are so small that when
»
an undertaker locks up a man’s corpse
! and a woman’s corpse in an under
i taking parlor it will start a scandal;
but what we started to say was that
if this gle-ortous weather holds on
much longer it will be hard to distin
guish where winter started in and
autumn left off.—Valdez Miner.
