there no way to get coal out of
Alaska except by turning the ter-
' litory over to Morgan and Guggen

fit? Cannot the administration, the

regulations by which Alaska coal
; ; can be mined on other than a monop

. We are a weak people If the Mor-
ganheim syndicate is going to be able
to direct the coal policy of our gov

behalf of the people of the United

The Alaska coal mines ought to
be opened. They ought to be worked,
and their output become speedily
available. It Is needed in Alaska

- homes on a basis of legitimate bus

A CHALLENGE FROM CANADA
THE NORTHWEST DEVELOP

Helena, has, by Its declaration
oi purposes to stop "the con
stant drain of homeseekers" into
Canada, roused Canadian papers Into
lively protest.
They remark, sarcastically, "that

T IS SAID THAT six simple Bible
questions were set to one 4nn
dred and fifty freshmen who had
Just entered Amherst. Seventy-
nine knew nothing of the fall of Jer
icho, thirty-seven knew nought of
Cain, and forty were entirely Ignor
ant of Daniel. The same Professor
Hamilton who tells this story tried
some of the New York schools.
There were found whole classes who
could not tell the story of the lions'
den.
If these Incidents are typical of
the younger generation, now prepar
ing to fill the stage of the world's
doings at whose door shall this Ig
norance be laid?
Have the mothers lost the habit
of gathering their young ones at
their knees, and telling them the
Bible stories on which they them
selves were nurtured? Has the Sun
day Bible reading gone quite out of
date? Do boys and girls nowadays
never learn texts by heart? Have
the novel and the short story of the
magazines, destroyed the flavor of
the narratives of both the old Testa
ment and the new? Has the life
gone out from the tales of those men
of old, their doings and their tendi
ngs? Have the Psalms lost their
rhythm and melody, the parables
their touch with the dally life of
men?
we have heard much this last
month or two, of the splendid Eng
lish of the King James version, of
the treasure house there stored of
literature that will never die of the
heritage of both nations of the
Anglo-Saxon race, and much more In
the same key. But manj of us are
misers, content with the mere pos
session of the treasure, but neither
using It ourselves nor sharing It with
our fellows, still less putting It to
usury, like the talents In the parable.
There are others, though, we learn
In the Bible society's report, who, In
almost every elty, are buying Bibles
with their scanty savings to distrlb-
te to "those who have none.. These
philanthropists are not satisfied with

the qualifications for their benefac

neither giver nor receiver in these
transactions Is the Bible an old book,
out of date and out of touch. Per

subtle reasoning the adaptation of the

its ease of direction, its cheapness,
and the fact that only one or two
lives are rlRked In Its operation as
an engine of warfare, seem to be
too strong temptations to military
men to abstain from Its use.
The practical demonstration by
the British army the other day must
have been a novel sight. The big

a squadron of aeroplanes, darting
towards it from all directions, fitted
