The announcement tha: Secretary of the Interior Fall has decided not to visit Alaska this year will come as 3 disappointment to Alas kans generally, but it will not sur prise anybody. We have heard new secretaries and new Presidents talk enthusiastically before about visiting Alaska but none of them really get here, the nearest approach to 3 visit by cabinet members being the flying trip made by Secretaries Dan iels and Payne a year ago. They touched at several Alaskan towns and made hurried trip over a small portion of the Government railroad; but they did not see Alaska and they were not in office long enough after returning to the national capital to do the territory any good.
 Alaska should be visited by both Secretary Fall and President Hard ing, and as soon as possible, in order that they may gather tirst-hand in formation regarding the needs of the territory; but it is perhaps as well for the Interior that they are not coming this year, for a visit at this time would mean only a brief stop along the coast, after the man ner of the Daniels-Payne visit. A year from now it should be possible to make the trip to Nenana over the Government railroad, which will

OFFICERS OF MINE WORKERS
 GIVE UP SALARIES IN JULY

INDIANAPOLIS, July 15-No sal aries will be accepted by more thar 100 officers of the United M:re Workers of America for their work this month because Of the 5ide- spread unemployment among coal miners" according to statement ap- bearing in a recent issue of rhe Mine Workers Journal official publi- cation of the international union.
 All officials, including the head officers, members of the internation- d executive board, organizers and field workers. according to the an nouncement, have volunteered to contribute their entire salaries for July to the orgaization in order that they may share tie burden of lard ships with the membership of the union."
 The exact amount thus ccntribrI- ed was not announced. it bein~ said that some of the officials work part time on q per diem basis The total, however, was expected D come to several thousand dollars. john L. Lewis, as president of the union. receives S666.66 a month. aa.l Phi. Murray, vice president, and William Green, secretary, each receive S583. The salaries, t vas xpIain, at the unions headquarters. gIII remain in the general fund of the organiza- tion, which it was said mas ..ceived many calls for relief, but mal tains only one fund for all <penditures of the union.
 It has long been the cry of some people, said the Mine Workers Journal, that regardless of whether the membership worked or not the salaries of the officers went on as usual. Such talk is indulged in solely for the purpose of creating distrust of the officers in the minds of the membership. Their voluntary action, however, in contributing their entire salary for July should go far to dissipate such impressions and prove that the officials feel 2 deep, sincere interest in the we'll being of the rank and file of the membership"
 Union headquarters estimate that not less than 15O,OOO union miners Tn the country are out of work and that many thousands more work one to three days a week. Hundreds of mines throughout the country, are closed and others are working short time because of the slack de- mand for coal.

FLORIDA MAGISTRATE TELLS
 WHEN HUBBY MAY OBJECT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Aug. 6- A wife has the right to be alone with a man friend on a public high way without interference from her husband, according to a recent ie- cision of the Florida supreme court.
 The case came up through a husband meeting his wife riding alone with another man He attacked the man, and as {. result of the fight that ensued his wife's com panion was convicted of assault with intent to murder. The state supreme court reversed the lower tribual.
 There may have been a time wher a wife was regarded as ner husbands chatte'. and being out alone on a public road with an- ether man regarded as sufficient provocation to justify the husband n making an assault upon her com panion. but thi; s TO longer true, when women enjoy equal freedom with men," said the opinIcn read by Chief Justice Brown.

FUTURE OF NENANA

Five years ago, within a few weeks after Nenara had been found ed by the Alaskan Engineering Com mission, Commissioner Thos Riggs said to representative of The News, regarding the future of the town, that "Nenana will flourish as development fourishes. Every new camp discovered below Nenana will add it's quota to the prosperity of the new town and it will become the distributing center for the whole Yukon basin, from Ruby to Circle.
 T should hate to see an ill-ad- vised boom strike the town" the commissioner continued. What I would like to see is steady growth which will keep track with, but not exceed the local demands That Ne mana will for a few years carry the heaviest payroll on this side of the Alaska range cannot be denied. but with the completion of the trunk line it will take it's proper place as permanently prosperous little town. As a division point it will always be important"
 Asked what he thought would be the permanent population of Nenana after the completion of the railroad, Commissioner Riggs said: T should judge between 1000 and 1,500 people unless coal briquetting and powdering works are established in the town instead of in the coal fields, The payroll will be steady and anyone with a job will be sure of his pay envelope every month Should the Ignite coal of the Ne mana fields prove to be the coming fuel for Interior Alaska, there should be distributing bunkers along the waterfront. In any event, coal will be handled at Nenana for, if necessary. coal can be brought from the farther away Matanuska fields. At present all indications point to a steadily increasing demand from the Nenana fields"

 So, after all, we should welcome the announcement that the secretary has postponed his trip for this year. But we must not neglect to let him know that we expect him to come all the way next year.

BRITISH CORRESPONDENT
 SEES MENACE IN CHINA

LONDON, July 5-A solmn warn ing on the menace to Britain of the "Americanization of China" is ut tered by a special far-eastern cor respondent of the Daily Mail, who recently attended the tenth anni- versary celebration of the American Indemnity (Tsing Hua) College in Peking.
 The college was established as result of the United States govern ment remitting part of its share of the Boxer indemnity.
 "The boys here are China's future leaders" the correspondent says, and after pointing out that they will go to America after completing their studies in Peking, he continues:
 Educated under the American system, aware that they owe their scholarship to American justice, and saturated with American sentiment by five to eight years residence in the United States, they will look to America solely for cooperation in the troublous years to come The United States is rearing the China of tomorrow
 Why should not we" (the Brit ish), he demands, "share an infiu- ence that we formerly monopolized and that is now slipping away from us?" and he goes on:
 "I asked a returned student as we watched the boys at baseball why China did not look to England 1 as an educational field"
 Sure we will' he replied, "when you remit the Boxer indemnity"
 The Chinese president of the col i lege put it to the correspondent 1 this way:
 "Chinese-American friendship has become so proverbial that few peo- pie take the trouble to investigate the cause of such good international i understanding. Any country that has a desire to captivate the hearts of 1 the Chinese can do no better than follow the example set by America. ~
 B. Lenox-Simpson, an Englishman who holds the post of political ad- wiser to the Chinese government and who is at present in London, writes to the Daily Mail that the process of the Americanization of China is very real one. 1
 Big business" he says, ''is tend 1 ing to go more and more to Ameri- can hrms, because the Chinese be- lieve in favoring those who favor them" and he concludes: i
 The helpfulness of America, not only to Young China but also to Old China is subject of common con versation, throughout the immense Chinese society which fills the far eastern continent. So far the re- suits of this have not been felt in this country, but unless we take speedy action, We are destined to drop during the next 12 months to third or fourth place in the Chinese republic, and thereby affect our whole standing throughout Asia"

shoppers who buy early have distinct
