it is the effective mouthpiece of our
politics; it is the teacher . which
knows no vacation; it is the record
ing agent of human accomplishment,
whose simple story is the ever con
tinuing inspiration to loftier achievements-
"Let those of us who find pride in

Favors Statehood.
"Alaska is destined for ultimate
statehood," the president told his au
dience. "In a very few years we can
well set off the panhandle and a
large block of the connecting south
eastern part as a state. This region
now contains 110 per cent of the
white population anil of the de
veloped resources. It would be the
greatest single impetus we
possibly give to
t eveloiinient. As to
of the territory I would leave the
Alaskan of the' future to decide."
Mr. Harding delivered his address
in the stadium here at the conclusion
of one of the busiest days of his
whole trip, lie began his visit with
a review of the United States battle
fleet in the harbor, ami then in rapid
succession participated in an auto
mobile parade through the business
section, attended a hoys' picnic and
addressed the Seattle Press club.
Friday night he, with Mr Hardins;
and the members of the party, left
by train to spend a week in Cali
fornia, beginning a visit Sunday and
Monday to Yosemite national park.
'Praises Scenic Beauty.
Tne' chief executive began his nd
dress with praise for the scenic
beauties of Alaska, although recog
nizing, he said, that "words seem
inadeouate to nortray ihe grandeur,
ito measure the magnificence, to ex
press the mightiness, or acclaim tne
glory of monumental mountains und
their jewelled valleys."
"There can be no need to dispute
Alaska's pre-eminence as the em
pire of scenic wonders," he asserted.
"Since the water journey by the in
ude route is very little less won
derful and impressive than the vast
domain of Alaska itself, it would
seem that we need only to have our
people understand its fascinations
and comnensations on the one hand,
and develop hotel facilities for en
tertainment on the other, to mane
Alaska a favored destination in
summer travel. There is no sea trip
in the world to equal it. There is
no lure of mountain, stream, valley
nnd Dlain to suruuss.it anywhere.
There is ample development of the
transportation essential to travel.
People Hospitable
Praise was bestowed on the people
of Alaska as the finest, most hos
pitable people in all the world.
"There is no finer citizenship in
all the United States, npr more
promising childhood," he added.
"Indeed, in this citizenship and in
this vigorous childhood, both devoted
to Alaska as the land of their homes,
lies the Solution of the American
problem. In them is the assurance
of Alaska's ultimate aiid adequute
development. No magic wand made
from federal treasury gold may be
waved to effect the grand transform
ation. The processes of development i
and establishment of permanent and ,
ample civilization lies in a citizen
ship with homes in Alaska, not in
investors who are seeking Alnska's
.wealth to enrich homes elsewhere."
Tribute lo Alaska's Press.
Speaking before the Seattle -press, !
following the review ot tl)e "battle
fleet, Mr. Harding said that "those
of us who think we know a great
lot about newspaper making may
learn somo very simple fundamentals
by going to Alaska."
! "I found myself," he continued,
involuntarily Oofling my hat to the
editor ami publisher who succeeds in
I maintaining a daily issue in a town
of 800(1 to 12,000 people, where the
circulation maximum cannot exceed
200 or 300 copies. I refrain' from
an attempted analysis of the relation
of the value of advertising to its
cost, but the community value of the
publication will remain unchallenged.
"There is a limited reflex cif the
big news of the world, with a larger
relative regard for pugilism than
world politics, but human interest
is fairly satisfied with the tabloid
sttirv of world events. Doubtless
the Alaskan community is quite as
well nourished mentally with its re
stricted news diet as are some of us
who find our nauseated way, if we
road our newspapers fully, through
I elaborated and expatiated stories of
crime and scandal, and wander
through a haze of speculative poli
tics. Home News Oreatest 'Asset.
"The big asset in the successful
Alaskan sheet is the home news, and
when the final analysis of the. mak
ing of a newspaper is written, here
is the secre of most newspaper
successes. Give me a newspaper
