 For the past two years and half very few tourists have been able to spend their good American dollars touring Europe and this condition may continue for era years come, and thousands of them would tour Arizona in automobiles and visit her great number of natural attractions if had good highways for them travel upon Many thousands of tourists pass through Arizona the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads which through the most desOlae parts of the state and hear of the grand and the other of natures interesting attractions, the pres toric buildings and dwellings which abound in many places throughout the state
 Several years ago the governor of Maine remarked to western man that the automobile tourists spent nualy that the of $11 100000 and since that time the amount must have largely increased while the report of the state highway commissioner of Colorado for 1916 states that $0O00O0O spent in that state that year by automobile tOuristsbut Colorado has good highways than other western state except Cali foriia and almost knOwns that that has almost entirely existed off of automobile for the past few who attracted there mostly by the magnificent highways throughout the and places of interest.

. (From the Oakland Cal, TribuneD
The usefulness of Captain William Matson, head
Iof the Matson Navigation Company, who died in
San Francisco extended to all of California it
felt throughout the Pacific coast and in the territory
|of Hawaii .. liz
Captain Matson was a successful businessman
able fortune in the many years of his industry. But
he was also constructive citizen, with pronounced
loyalties to the country he called home, and with
high ideals of citizenship -
When other shipping companies hauled down
their flag and withdrew from the Pacific under the
coercye effect of the La Toilette shipping law, Cap
tain Matson remained and increased the passenger
and freight facilities between Hawaii and the con-
tinent. When war prices for tonnage enticed other
ships into the munition carrying trade of the Allan
tic, Captain Matson stuck to his established bust
ness. That he making enough money in the
Hawaiian line of steamships and that maintaining
the service when it most needed was reasonably
sure to rebound to his advantage when normal con
htions were restored may have Influenced him to
this course. But another and very strong motive
was the knowledge that the people of Hawaii and
of California needed his help at this time He gave
lit as friend .-
Furthermore Captain Matson, beside contribut-
ing to the upbuilding and maintenance Of a mer-
chant marine in the Pacific was always active in
civic and other public affairs of this district and
Honolulu, giving literally of his time, advice and
financial resources to the general welfare The end
of such career is always a misfortune and cause
for public regret.

LIQUOR and Concentrated Vice

A powerful argument in favor OF pFohiplliol !
comes from The voice and pen of a distinguishes
American surgeon, DIR. Edward Martini pfolessoi
of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania
In the course of public lecture, which IS quotea
in full in the universitys 1917 volume of faculty
lectures Dir. Martin gives free and frank discus
sion of venereal disease and suggests methods lof
its report TO health authorities and its regulation
IN that lecture he said: -"
Our hope in effectively dealing with these curses
(Sexual diseases)-not modern curses, for they run
back through historylies in the womans vote since
it is she who suffers most grievousy The first step
lies in the suppression of the liquor traffic, without
which commerciazed vice would cease to be tInan-
cially profitable. Thereafter these contagious dis
should be treated treated others far less
menacing to the health of the community. J.: ..*
What this eminent surgeon says is part of the
widespreading knowledge that liquor and commer
cialized vice go hand in hand. 1t is perfectly safe
to say that should Hawaii go dry the difficult
vice problem would be greatly simplified and there
would be steady advance toward essening crimes
of violence and towards lettering public health.

: ALASKA'S SEMICENTENNIAL.

The New York World recalls that lust fifty years
ago Tuesday, Brigadier- General Lowell Harrison
Rousseau who had been assigned to duty in the new
territory of Alaska by President johnson, received
that domain from the Russian government on be-
half of the United States and assumed control of
the territory, the largest addition with the excep-
ton of the Louisiana Purchase, that has ever been
made to the United States, its area being 590.SS4
square miles, against the S27 9S7 square miles
of the Louisiana Purchase, acquired in 1903, more
than half a century earlier. The greatest of the
previous accessions Florida in 1919, Texas in
1915 Oregon in 1876 the Mexican cession in 1S4S
and the Gadsden Purchase in 1858. Since the pur-
chase of Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico
Guam, the Philippines, Samoa and the Panama
Canal Zone have been added making a total added
territory of 2,S51 III square miles. an empire in
itself No other country has ever so rapidly ac-
quired vast territories and at so little cost in
treasure and blood So easy and natural did these
acquisitions come about that no other single phrase
so we'll explains the process manifest destiny"
