CREDIT (WHERE IT BELONGS
In commenting upon the great improvement in the
highways of Alaska, The Washington Post inadvertently
gave credit to the Department of Agriculture instead of
to the War Department, which has charge of the con
struction and maintenance of all the principal thorough
fares of the Territory. This oversight was noticed by
Mr. Maurice D. Leehey, of Seattle, who is greatly interest
ed in Alaska, and who is now in Washington. To place
the credit where it properly belongs Mr. Leehey wrote to
The Post as follows:
“In the editorial in The Post this morning under the
caption, ‘The Call of Alaska/ is one statement which is in
accurate, due undoubtedly to the natural supposition on
the part of the writer that all Federal road building is
conducted by the Department of Agriculture. Fortunate
ly for Alaska the good roads division of that department
has very little to do with the highways of the Territory.
The great work now being performed on the Richardson
highway is under the jurisdiction of the army, and it is to
the officers and engineers of the army that all the credit
is due.
The Richardson highway was laid out and built by
Col. Wilds P. Richardson. He devoted many years to the
selection of the trails and roads which are of such, vital
importance to the growth and commerce of the Territory.
Work during the present season is under the direct
charge of Col. James Gordon Steese.
As to the forestry branch of the Department of Agri
culture, that division has carried on a policy of suppres
sion in the name of conservation which has retarded de
velopment for a decade and which if continued will set us
back a generation.”
SAVING THE TIMBER
The forests of our continent have been wantonly
wasted in the past. We are just beginning to think of
the consequences. As a plain matter of business, private
owners of woodlands are now concerned with the problem
of renewal. Where thoughtless greed rules the roost, im
mature trees are cut and no thought is taken of refores
tation, there will be no future timber crops, and industries
which are dependent upon them will suddenly vanish.
Perpetuation of a forest means a perpetual harvest for
the owner.
HOW TO SQUANDER $24
It costs $24 a column to print the Congressional Re
cord, and up to the hour of going to press no one had been
able to think up a more foolish way of spending $24.

AND MONEY FOR IT, TOO
As soon{ as all the stranded American tourists get out
cf Europe they ought to have room for another war.
IN THE PORT OF MISSING MEN
What has become of the politician who wouldn’t cam
paign the country districts in an automobile for fear of
losing votes?
STELLAR GARAGES?
Now that Henry Ford is going to turn out a lot of
flivver airplanes, another parking problem will soon be
bothering this country.
THE CAUSE OF THE WAR
Among the words that lead to warfare are these:
“They will make their home with the bride’s parents.”
WE’VE NOTICED IT, TOO
Often when you think you are losing you are win
ning, and when you think you are winning you are losing,
Time will tell the story, too.
