If the superabundance of our wealth wants to do something for humanity, instead of sending succor to Europe to prolong the war, be original and send the money to our hungry people on the Sound It will give Cordova fully as much advertising, and will alleviate suffering which is within our sight.

The Daily Times is indebted to the Pacific Fisherman for it's Alaska Fisheries edition, just off the press, which is the most creditable edition of the kind ever isued yany trade jour nal + contains many of the best half-tone cuts obtaiable of canneries and different phases of the industry, including most excellent reproduc- tions of the Orca and Yakutat can neries This edition is also replete with special articles and general in formation in reference to one of Alas kas greatest resources-the deep sea fish.
 Under the caption of "Undeveloped Fishery Resources of Cordova Dis trict," the following article appears
 "Cordova is not only the gateway to the Boring river coal fields, the rich est copper belt in the world. the placer camps of Chisana, Nelchina, Dan creek, Nizina and Slate creek, and the oil fields of Katalla, but it's waters abound with fish of all kinds, and so far the wealth of the finny tribes has aClvr M cannery, a few miles distant, had its largest catch this season and shipped over sixty thousand cases of canned salmon. Realizing the sea com merce possibilities new cannery is in course of construction at Mile 32, along the Copper River & North westernwestern Railway and a clam factory is being erected near Hinchin- brook lighthouse, where turtle necks, razor and butter clans will be can ned and shipped to the states. Gov ernment agents recently made an in-  vestigation of Eyak Lake, with a view to next year establishing a hatchery and spwaning ground there, and found conditions ideal. The halibut grounds off Montague Island and in Prince William Sound, are abundant with halibut and this industry is rapidly being developed a large number of fishing boats having made excellent catches there this summer. Herring are also plentiful in these waters and the sea resoures are unlimited. There are thousands of crabs which are de- clared to be superior to the famuos Dungeness variety. Blask bass, red snappers and black cod are food stuffs that are declared a delicacy on account of their excellent quality, while grelying and trout abound in the lakes"

Nashville, Tenn.-Another
high court has decided against
the unAmerican policy of Sc
gregating whites and blacks.
This time the decision comes
from North Carolina, being
the Supreme Courts delcara-
ton of lnvalidity against an
ordinance enacted by the city
of Winston-Salem:
Baltimore has tried segre-
cation repeatedly: two differ.
ent ordinances have been
thrown out by the courts and
a third will soon be subject to
judicial action. Norfolk has
attempted the same action and
a test there is expected soon.
The policy of segregationdoes
not appeal to the open-mind-
ed. At the same time there
should be consideration felt
for those who feel the grind
of the condition these ordi-
nances are designed to relieve.
1t is no mere theory which
confronts many of these COM
munities.
But where would segrega-
tion lead to if INDUCED in at
will by the majority in a COM
munityl If a council has pow
er to crowd the race together
by themselves. what could
there be to prevent a majority
enforcing segregation upon
any other race, group or creed
whose standing in the COM
munity might not be the high
est9 Virtually these ques-
tion appear to have been rais-
ed by the North Carolina
court.
In the long run. it is prob
able that the problem which a
segregation ordinance is de-
signed to solve will take care
of itself. At any rate. it is
not we'll to adopt a remedy
which. in the last analysis, is
is worse than the original af-
fiction.

many know they are doomed,
ane the scheme appears to
them like a Democratic one
to ge rid of faithful and effic-

ployes to be dismissed.
In the office of the Auditor
for the War Department a
reduction of seven $1,000
clerks and five 200 clerks
is provided for. There are
many clerks of the race in this
Office who are fearing the re-

at them, and no one here

where segregation is rife, a
reduction of IS employees is
provided for. In this office
their are IS or 100 colored
iemyloyes, and they fear the
IS reduction means IS of
their number will go.
To date the policy of this
administration has been to
promote none of them and to
drop them whenever a reduc-
ton of force is provided for
in the appropriation bill. Thus
it will be seen that employees
of color have just grounds for
