Frank Knox comments on Theodore Roosevelt’s editorial, “Alaska Again,” which he regards as “the flash of a beacon in a fog.” He asks how President William H. Taft’s argument about Controller Bay is erroneous. Knox agrees with the need for a government-owned and operated coal-carrying road in Alaska.
