WORK IN HARMONY
It is plainly appai’ent from the atti
tude being shown by congress toward
requests for appropriations that the
coming twro years will find many such
petitions ignored and many needed
appropriations will be passed by “for
the sake of economy.” It is going to
take some good work by everybody if
Alaskan projects get the money they
need and must have if they are to be
worked efficiently.
We have just had two important ap
propriations cut down to the very min
imum. The railroad got hit hard and
the Alaska road commission’s money
was reduced from $300,000 to only
$100,000 for the present fiscal year.
Both of these appropriations were
needed badly by the territory. The
North needs the railroad and is equally
in need of more adequate wagon roads.
The future prosperity of the one is
largely dependent on the expansion of
the other.
In the past, if we have not been in
different to getting the money, at least
we have not made any special efforts
to help get it. There has been a re
grettable tendency to let those bodies
which are charged with handling the
funds do all the asking and work in
securing the appropriations. And it
has occasionally gone even further
than this when the former Alaska dele
gate to congress, Mr. Wickersham, has
actually attacked those asking for the
money in such a fashion as to create
antagonism to their requests.
The Citizen believes that such fights
are ill-timed. It is convinced that it
is but common sense to work for those
things which benefit the territory as a
whole. All of us know that the more
money there is provided for Alaska
projects, the more benefit will be ob
tained here, not alone in the increased
expenditures but. also in the greater
area of territory which will be opened
thereby.
During the next twelve months ev
ery possible influence should be
brought to bear to see that adequate
appropriations are made available for
that if it is properly presented we must
Alaskan projects in ‘the shortest pos
sible time. Our case is so strong
win. But it can’t be properly present
ed unless the work is harmonious, in
stead of half the territory knocking
what the other half is trying to do.—

Grave of Her Convict Son at: Her Rainbow’s End
HAMMOND, IND.—The Salvation Army - found her, on her fifty-seventh
birthday, penniless and alone in the railroad station here, hoping to get
to Butte, Mont., where her sister lives. Her only treasure was a small
photograph of the type used in rogue’s v
galleries. It was the picture of a
young man of twenty-two, who had
been convicted of burglary. For 18
years the woman had been following
a rainbow of hope. She had just come
to the rainbow’s end—and found the
grave of a convict in the Cemetery of
the New York reformatory at Elmira.
A pretty five-year-old boy, golden
haired and sturdy, was playing on the
grass in front of a little farmhouse
in Athens township, New York. In a
buggy, outside the fence, a woman watched him, charmed. Then she called:
“Come here, sonny.”
The boy trotted out to the road. The woihan helped him into the buggy
and talked to him. Finally, after looking closely at the house and seeing
no one, she whipped up her horse and sped away with the child hpside her.
That was in 1900. Eighteen years late*' fhe mother, grown old and gray
in unceasing search throughout the country for her son, received a letter
from Mrs. Nancy Browning of South Hills, Pa. She got it purely by chance,
for she had married again since her boy’s disappearance and now was not
Mrs. John Kipp, but Mrs. Amos Shoemaker.
“I am dying,” Mrs. Browning said, “and I cannot go in peace until I tell
you that I kidnaped your boy. When the boy grew up he left me.”
Sympathetic strangers took the sorrowing mother to Chicago, gave her 3
birthday dinner, bought her a ticket and sent her on her way.
