MEASURING CONCRESSMEN.

A local post wants the American Legion Weekly to go into the sub- feet of how to get the measure of a congressman, writes the editor of the soldier publication in recent issue It wants to know all about congressman, good, bad. and indif- ferent congressman, and how they function in their official work. It wants to know just how to measure congressmen so as to determin 9 whether individual specimens are big enough for their jobs. This par ticular post says it does not ask this for itself alone, but believes the information would be useful to service men generally.
 The intimation is carried in the letter that there is q feeling of some concern over some of the con- gressional personnel. Are some of our congressmen too small for their jobs? Were they selected in the rather careless period in our politi- cal life that is said to have preceded the war and persisted in measure during the war? Are many of them practical office-holders who are car ried hither and thither on the changing winds of expediency, counting the votes involved before they make up their minds on an issue? Do any of them assay less than 100 percent pure Americanism in their ideals of citizenship? Are many or any of them out of step with the new and faster cadence of American political life?
 The request for this information is a reasonable one and will be com piled with at very early date. 1t is an appropriate time to look over not only our congressman, but our officials everywhere, and see just how they measure up against the yardstick of newly awakened ideas and ideals.

Nenana, Alaska, April ?, 1920. Mir. H. M. Hall, 5O2 Lloyd Street,
 Pittsburgh. Pa.
 Dear Sir: Your letter of March 4, with inclosure from Dr. Smith, of the Fisheries Bureau, is just at hand. I feel very sorry to hear of your misfortune. Is is no small matter for a man of your years and customary activity to break a perfectly good leg, and can name no good reason why man should do such a thing. It is generally admitted that good legs are never improved bit by being broken: but here is hoping that yours will soon be just as good as ever.
 The revelations of the inclosure from the Fisheries Bureau touched me even more deeply than the an nouncement of your broken leg. Perhaps very few people suffer or are in the least inconvenienced by your broken leg; but this fish situ- ation is quite the opposite, and more serious in every way. Hun dreds of our Interior white popula- tion are very seriously inconven-

given even by implication. There was a shortage in the salmon run i'll the Yukon last season, as there was in nearly every other Alaskan river, but there is no evidence available that connects the shortage of the run with the operations of the can nery. As a matter of fact, short runs of salmon have occurred in the Yukon from time immemorial, and such short runs are recorded for 1879, 1911, 1917. and various years when there was neither can nery nor commercial fishing. To dogmatically assert that the can nery caused the shortage and to hold this bureau responsible for the assumed consequences to the natives is to do what no fair-minded per- son would approve. In letter on this subject to the Right Reverend Peter T. Rowe, Bishop of Alaska, the Hon. Edwin F. Sweet, assistant secretary of commerce and a mem- Der of the Episcopal church. wrote as follows under date of Decem- Der IS, 1919:
 ''I wish to take this opportunity to express my regret at the charac- ter of the campaign being conduct ed by Archdeacon Hudson Stuck. am indeed astounded that a clergy man should deliberately indulge in

in a weeks time. A very significant and damaging fact is, that very few fish of size were taken anywhere along the Panama, and many of the fish taken which were not small enough to slip easily through nets and fishing gear, were net-marked. Where did they get those net-marks ? Why did so few large fish come up the Panama? Cannery operatives reported no shortage of good-sized fish at the cannery.
 Dr. Smith concludes his letter by saying: "As soon as the department learned of the establishment of the cannery in question, it took steps to place regulations on the fishery and promulgated certain regulations which were thought to be adequate, ' etc. The best can say for this is, that however good the bureaus intentions may have been, l know of no evidence that it's efforts were effective in accomplishing, in more than a pitfully small degree, what it thus ostensibly set out to do. The cannery got very satisfactory catch, according to all accounts. The people got almost nothing, with heavy loss added.

ance with the well-known and easi. ly ascertained facts. From the very
 beginning of the Yukon river sal
 mon discussion, l have been per sonally familiar with the situation,
 and l am officially responsible for
 the action that has been taken by
 the Department of Commerce up to ! this time. While in my office on December l you expressed yourself as entirely satisfied with what the department has done up to the present time, and it is my feeling that you are convinced of the genu- inc desire of the department to do everything within its power to help the native people among whom you | have labored so long and so we'll.
 ''In view of the foregoing, I em-
 phatically resent the propaganda, os- tensibly in behalf of the Yukon In- dians, that is being carried on by Archdeacon Stuck in church papers and by correspondence in whicf
 there is a studied effort to misrep-
 resent the relations of this depart
 ment with the short run of salmon
 into the Yukon river in 1919. Such
 propaganda can have no real value
 in alleviating the sufferings of the
 Yukon natives, but rather has the
 effect of bringing into disrepute the
 cause for which you are naturally
 and properly so much concerned and
 in which you have my sincerest sym
 pathy and support" -:> In his reply, dated December 27, 1919, Bishop Rowe said: -.
 ''I am perfectly satisfied that Dr.
 Smith and yourself are as fully in sympathy and interest on this whole matter as I am. Also having a genuine desire to do everything within your power to help the native people. am still satisfied, as have all along been, that the de- partment of the Government, and of which you are the acting secretary,
 has done all that seemed right and was right It may be stated for your fur ther information that as soon as the department learned of the es- tablishment of the cannery in ques- tion, it took steps to place reeula- tions on the fishery and promulgated certain regulations which were thought to be adequate to insure the passage of salmon to their spawning grounds and to safeguard the interests of the Yukon Indians to the extent that they are depend ent on salmon for themselves and their dogs. Very careful considera- tion has been given to the whole problem and it is thought that the plans now in contemplation will take care of the situation adequately.
 As requested, the copy of Mir.
 Diven's letter is returned to you. Very truly yours,
 J. M. SMITH,
