DAILY EDITION Saturday, August 6, 1927 LEASE ALASKAN TERRITORY The proposal that Canada might lease a strip of territory from Alaska in order to frive acceos to the Canadian hinterland is one for mature consideration. United States is very tenacious of her territory and doubtless there would be considerable objection to any change of national status. However, the suggestidn is a most rational one and possibly may be arranged unless the residents on th strip of territory should make objection. There is no doubt that if the change were made that part of Alaska would be more prosperous than at present. More prospectors would go into the country if unhandicapped by restrictions and the tendency would be to increase the rapidity of development. There is a wonderful mining country in back which ought to be opened up. Mr. Babcock says the old halibut go visiting but the youngsters stay at home. That's where halibut differ from us. Among humans all go visiting. VANCOUVER OPINION ON PROPOSAL (Vancouver Sun) bkagway is the gate to northern British Columbia and the Yukon. Sir Hugh Denison found it a broken-down, out-at-heels sort of place, of so little use to the United States, on whose soil it stands, that the Washington government consistently neglects H71 Uritish Columbians, of course, have been aware of this for a long time, but have accepted it as a state of affairs for which they could devise no remedy. If the United States failed to keep up its own property tney aid not see what Canada could do about it. Sir Hugh, bringing with him the fresh eye of the visitor, be lieves the problem far from insoluble. He points out that similar conditions have been remedied in Europe and he sees no reason whv negotiations should not be opened up with the United States to secure for Canada a right of way into the northland. As he suirirests. the best method of all would be sale outright of the strip of territory needed, but it is to be feared that the opposition across (he border to the alienation of an inch of land wouM be very difficult to over come, even though the land in question would have been Canadian property but for an award the justice of which has been seriously questioned. Leasing might be more feasible. Failing either, it Is possible that the United States might be brought to consent to in ternationalization. Her legal position oh the Lynn, Canal is unas sailable, but surely the moral claim of Canada to an entry from the sea to'its own territory miglit be conceded and some way found of meeting it. Taking a daily bath helps to cultivate a superiority complex. "WHY GO TO CHURCH?" The. question is often asked, why go to church, when there is so much to do, and 'when we can worship God at home and in the green fields, or on the water under the beautiful canopy of heaven? Why go to sit in a pew? Why take time to worship with -others when we can .worship alone? Perhaps one of the main reason why such questions are asked is found in the fact that worship often degenerates to a mere formal ceremonial and has been robbed of devotion and reverence. Such questions are usually raised by people who do not attend chureh. Those who do attend, either regularly or irregularly, usually . feel the, need for it and get some help from it. This., at any rate, ; would be 'the testimony of the majority. Here is what, a clergyman .' recenilygaid: "The very fact that we are so busv and that Hfs ! , in ;lts. demands, is a Very real reason for the existence of places'of worship; The quiet poise which results, from periods' 6f -'reverent .4toW'nx,.willldo more than anything else to impress -upon ys life's real meaning: Alife without quiet reflection and' worship cannot wunsxana tne lowering and vulgarizing influences of continued association with the world. "The pulpit and the church, however, have been somewhat responsible for the open criticism which exists agains,t them both. When the pulpit lowers itself and becomes a mere platform for social, political or religious controversy when it becomes a rostrum for oratorical eloquence or when it seeks to attract through the fascination of the lecture in literary or travel subjects it soon loses its force. The church which tries to lead its people into meditation and true devotion, to carry the thoughts into higher and purer and nobler channels than is usual in the busy work-a-day world, confers a real blessing. If you have never known the peace that comes frbm a s quiet, reverent hour when thoughts dwell alone with the great real- ities you have never been fortunate enough to go to a real place t of worship. It would be a sound thing to experiment in this matter and really find out from first hand whether or not a church ser- vice has not something to give which you need, and very often in your serious moments want, with a surprising intensity."

For instance, about as a whole, differ from the southern regions up to about the 16-year old class. It is therefore fair to conclude that the southern banks, which are to converge in physical and suggest a constantly Increasing In tennlngllng. The older mature fish of the offshore banks, on the other hand, show similarities which support the be lief that they form a homogeneous in termingling population.
