LEAST KNOWN AMERICA.
A territory as large as Nebraska, Iowa. Missouri,
Kansas, Wyoming, South Dakota and North Dakota,
yet with a population less than that of the city of
Lincoln, and half of it Indians.
That'* Alaska, an empire ready for the making.
Since the gold rush of 1896 this vast region has
not befcn much in public notice. If it had not been
for the novels of Jack London and Rex Beach, the
rhymes of Robert W. Service and the fact that snow
scenes looked well in the movies, Alaska might have
been almost forgotten. <
The visit, of President Harding to our northern
territory, however, promises to rescue Alaska from
its neglect, to bring its problems to public notice and
to lead to plans for its development. Three members
of his cabinet are accompanying him, and a con
gressional delegation has just returned from a simi
lar tour of investigation. Decidedly more is to be
heard of Alaska in the next year.
Besides the gold, there are rich stores of copper
and coal and great forests of fine timber. The long
hours of sunlight favor the growth of many crops,
including vegetables and all grain except corn. How
ever, only 6,000 acres there are under cultivation.
Herds of reindeer imported from Lapland graze and
fatten on the moss and herbage. Stcfansaon, the
great arctic explorer, believes that the far north is
the coming country for meat production, and cer
tainly the successful experiment with reindeer would
seem to promise much, - •
All accounts agree that the climate is not more
severe than that of our northern states. Along the
toast, warmed by the Japan current, the temperature
seldom goes below zero and in the summertime it
rarely exceeds 80 degrees. Inland, however, the
temperature ranges between 60 below and 90 above.
With the application of modern science to heating,
certaihly the long winters can be made livable and
even comfortable. Great things may be expected in
Alaska.
Ever since he was elected to preside over the
nation, Mr. Harding has wanted to go to Alaska.
Last summer the protracted session of congress pre
vented, but now he is on his way. There he can see
with his own eyes the needs and possibilities of the
territory which, in spite of its riches, has been stead
ily losing population. With Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace, Secretary of the Interior Work and Secre
tary of Commerce Hoover in his party, some solution
of the problem surely can be found.
Already the government has built 570 miles of
railroad in Alaska, and the Navy department has
opened up several coal mines. It myy be that on
account of the peculiar conditions the government
may have to maintain a more direct control of these
resources than those in any other parts of the nation.
Certainly this treasure must not be squandered nor
overlooked. One of the main difficulties is to de
velop the country without turning it over to monopo
lies for exploitation. Handled rightly, Alaska should
bring in a fancy revenue to the people of the United
States, and at the same time develop with great
rapidity.
PROFIT FROM RAIL COMPETITION.
Down in the southwest is a railroad that is actually
lompeting. As a result, for the first time it is now
paying a profit. It cut its freight charges and is
actually making money because of the reduction
The Kansas City, Mexico & Orient, in spite of its
long name, is only 272 miles long. It is one of those
short lines that are frequently pointed out as excuses
for high rates. Its management tried every device
known to railroading to make it pay, but in vain,
until as a last resort it obtained permission from the
Interstate Commerce commission to haul goods cheaper
than the Other lines serving the same general territory.
And now it has turned loss into profit. This one
example is enough to show that there is something
wrong with the general policy of keeping all freight
rates in one region at the same general level. It even
insinuates the thought that if those few lines that are
now showing a deficit would cut their rates they
might prosper.
NO MORE WAR.
Almost simultaneously with the announcement
from Edward Bok that he would pay $50,000 for an
idea that would lead to world peace, and another*
$50,000 for its practical application, comes the word
that W. J. Bryan will present at the Gothenburg ex
position a program for the organization of all the
farmers to the end that there shall be no more war.
the practical philanthropy involved in this will
challenge general attention. Cynics say and proba
bly will meet the proposals with a soft smile of calm
disbelief. War has always been present, hot is that
any good reason why war always should be? Man
kind has made progress in many other ways, and
certainly ha* not reached so hopeless a pass as that
no further progress is possible. Many ideas con
cerning other phases of human relationship that were
firmly believed in a few years ago have been aban
doned. Why may not the idea that certain interna
tional difference* can only be adjusted by war go
the same way?
Ample proof has been given that disputes of
serious sort can be adjusted through consultation
and conciliation, and without in the least lowering
the dignity of any nation. The world court is not
a new idea. While Grover < leveland was president
our country came perilously near to war with Great
Britain, and yet the issue was settled to the perfect
satisfaction of all parties. Following this episode,
some dieeusiion was had. and during Mr. Cleveland’s
»econrf term he received a definite suggestion for a
jsrmanent court of arbitration, to which the United
'^ftaf. ea and Great Britain would be the subscribing
parties, but others could bs admitted, for the settle
Jjment of international d spu^es and differences. The
Ijjflague conference grew from this, and now there is
permanent court of international justice sitting
".at The Hague.
Mr. Bok’s offer may bring out no practical tug
j-gestion, Mr. Bryan may not succeed in getting the
»farmers into a permanent group of peare-sustainera.
'^but their efforts will not be in vain, for they will still
''more strongly center the steadily growing sentiment
dim favor of their ideal. We may yet follow Hosea up
"'to the mountain of the Lord and reach that day when
Nation shall r.a longer rise up against nation, and
^Sritrir win jr ito ltlore war.
NOBLE PICTURE FROM THE PAST.
One after another Omaha's societies, organisa
tions, corporations and individuals arc agreeing to
sponsor floats in the great patriotic pageant to be
presented in connection with the Ak-Sar-Ben cele
bration next fall. These floats will present graphic
ally and strikingly some incident or episode in Ameri
can history, to the end that a connected story will
be told, bringing the whole narrative of the nation's
life down from its beginning until now.
What a wealth of material there is to deal with
will he understood on a moment’s reflection. Thou
sands of paintings, poems, novels, statues and the
like have been evolved from the history of the coun
try. Orators have found exhaustless resource for
their eloquence, statesmen the highest inspiration tot
their constructive efforts in the record set down
indelibly by the actions of the people under wise lead
ership and moved by hopeful impulses.
Many are unfamiliar with the story of the nation,
some forgetful of its experience and others indiffer
ent to its destiny. These, for some reason or for no
reason, make light of its institutions, its destiny and
its laws, and slightingly or jecringly refer to all that
has been- done in the name of freedom. Much of
this comes from thoughtlesnesi, but not a little has n
deeper source, because there are in this land reckless
and misguided individuals who resent any proper
restraint of law or custom, and seek in their own
whims or fancies guidance for the moment only,
with no regard w’hatever for the future.
The historic patriotic display is planned not to
beget any false or fleeting impulse of devotion to
the country, but to illustrate the way along which
the American people has trudged to greatness. For
our land is the home of a free people, whose institu
tions are those the masses have erected for them
selves. Demagogues may dispute this, the self-seek
ing spouters may challenge the statement, hut the
truth stands that Americans have reached their
present eminence because they have painfully, steadily
toiled, sacrificed again and again ease and comfort
and the allurements of luxury that they might attain
and secure the blessings of liberty under the law.
Such a pageant should not be in vain; its display
of icenes from American history should strengthen
the resolve of every true American to stand by his
country, and not to be misled by the vaporings of the
unwise who would drop the substance to seize the
shadow.
TO MARKET BY TRUCK
On a recent day more than 3,000 hogn were
brought into the Omaha stockyards by motor truck.
Lack of prompt and adequate railroad service and
the development of good roads have encouraged
this short cut to market. It is doubtless true that
the cost of hauling by truck is no cheaper than ship
ping by train, yet it is certain that the high freight
rates have encouraged this movement.
Instead of loading his hogs on a truck and haul
ing them to the nearest railway station, there to he
shut in a pen until the cars were ready for loading,
many a farmer now hauls them the whole distance
by truck. Considerable delay, shrinkage and wear
and tear appears to be saved by this method.
The truck is more mobile. Charles Hansen of
Fremont recently brought a load of hogs 67 miles
to market, starting at 5 a. m. and ariving at 8:30,
before the market opened. He says that 20'trucks
do a general hauling business with hogs and cattle
out of the Fremont district. Another example is
C. E. Warner of Fort Hancock, la., who hauled a
load of Hampshire* 40 miles in three and one-half
hours. Ernest Eyberg of McClelland, la., hauled in
20 head of Duroc hogs in the same way. Someone
counted 73 trucks lined up at the stockyards for un
loading.
No doubt about it, the railroads art- up against
stiff competition on short hauls. The farmer is go
ing to find other ways, of getting his product* to
market, by waterway and highway. Meanwhile, the
importance of good roads and motor truck transpor
tation canot be exaggerated.
High freight rates are doing more to keep the
American farmers from foreign markets now than
any other factor. Com from Argentina can be laid
down at our Atlantic seaports at a freight cost of 20
cents a bushel, while to transport corn from Iowa to
the coast costs 28 cents a bushel. If it were not for
the tariff, what chance would the middle western
farmer stand?
Great opportunities for public economy are to be
found in Secretary Hoover’s plan for standardizing
specifications for all purchase* by municipalities,
counties, states and the federal government. There
is too much slack in the purchasing method* of all
governmental divisions.
Stockton, Cal., ha* hired s city manager at a
salary of 820,000 a year. There is plenty of oportu
nity around most ci8y halls for a competent business
director to save the taxpayers more than that
amount.

“OMAHA AND LINCOLN.”
"The capital removal agitation, and
the emphatic endowment «*f the
proposition looking to the immediate
removal of the state capital to some
more central locality by our local
contemporary. is exciting consider
able comment from the Lincoln press.
In fact, capital retention being upper

resident at Lincoln, the columns of
the newspapers are almost exclusive

In Its yesterday i i Mje, comment,
protests against the arguments urged
by the advocates of removal, that
there is a tangible Lincoln ring that
controls the destiny of the state. As
a proof, the Journal declares, that
with the exception of the secretary
of state, no citizen of Lincoln now

therefore, it. argues the charge about
the Lincoln ring is absurd.

"<>ur merchants trade there much.

We desire to rail the attention of
our Lincoln contemporaries to the
fa* t that Omaha has not la*cn nor is
she nvw the prime mover of the capi

months ago certain prominent citizens
and politi«j«| leaders of tbs r|ty of
Lincoln hatched the s* herrie for the
removal of the capital, and that
scheme has since received an 1m
petiis from other quarters. When
Uutler, Kennard A 1 >> located the
sfafe capital fifty miles west of the
Missouri river they well understood
that the location could not possible lie
permanent. The policy of removal at
