THE THIRTY-EIGHT BOSSES

Ever since the United States paid s7, 200. 1000 to Russia in 1867, and took Alaska, we have been either three jumps ahead or three jumps behind the demands of that terri tory for attention, says the Boston Globe, of May 2. At the date of purchase we thought we had really made Russia a substantial gift for very poor return.
 That belief persisted until the discovery of gold in our new pos- session. Then, for a time, we were inclined to believe we had struck bonanzaA But only for short time. And for the past 20 years we have been too busy to pay much atten- ton to the great tract to the north ward.
 Now we have got around to talk ing an account of stock. President Harding, so to speak, discovered Alaska. What he has discovered has quite upset him. It seems that there are no less than 3S Govern ment agencies operating to handle the administration of the territory.
 Further inquiry by the President develops that many of the heads of the 38 agencies have never been in Alaska. Still further questions elicit the amazing information that, although these 3S administer the territory through suhordinates largely, most of the subordinates have never left the fair and con- fortable climate of Washington, D. C.
 A territory with coal deposits which compare favorably with any in the United States proper, which has the beginnings. at least, of a Government railroad, and which has no less than 38 bureau chiefs administering it's business certainly is Tn need of attention from the President.
 So Mir. Harding plans to spend an intensive vacation there next summer studying the situation. For President Harding knows that England, for instance, spends mill lions of dollars and goes to no end of trouble to secure concessions in parts of the earth far less valuable than Alaska. And President Hard ing knows as we'll as any business man that an important job, which has 38 bosses needs heroic mea- sures. Valdez Miner.

Newspapers over the state are
com ing TO RECONCILE Henry l..
Whitfield as the coming candi
date for governor of Mississippi.
They recognize in him a strong
leadership and constructive stat
esmanship, and ggreat many OF
the leading journals of the state
are unqualfedly endoring his
prospective candidacy.
"The people are getting sick
and tired of petty fractional poll
tics. and the political leadership
in Mississippi is going to the man
who can pilot the shin Of state jn-
70 more constructive channels.
That man is Henry l., Whitfield,
who is coming more and more

didate OF the people for cover

The writer has known and esteem
ed Henry Whitfield for more than
quarter of a century, hailing from
the same old Free State" of RANKIN
county. and has never known eny-
county, and has never known any
highest type of Christian Citizenship
and would make a governor OF whom
the state would be proud. A man
of good practical common sense, OF
scholarly attainments, the highest
character and a man who would rather
be right than governor. He is a gen.
tleman and a statesman OF the eio
school, who would no more be gov
eined in his acts by petty polltlcS
than he would be guilty OF anything
that was disreputable.
The Record does not believe there
is man in Mississippi who would
serve the state to better advantage as
governor than Hon. II. L. Whitfield
His splendid record as state super
intendent of education and president
Of the Industrial Institute and College
is still on the minds of the people OF
he state. and if he can be prevailed
mon to make the race for governor
there is little doubt of his being elect,
cd. if the people know what is good
for them and their interests, which
would be guarded with the greatest
of care in his hands.-Hon. r. =

LIGHT SENTENCES
FOR NIGHT RIDERS

Searcy, Jan. 25-Arrested on
charges of night riding, mini
mum penalties were given to the
following in Circuit Court to-
day: Frank Wethers, Erwin Gre
vision, Fayette Sterling, J. w.
Fuller, Luther Bone. Charlie
Meachem, Tom A. Smith and
Luke Bone. Each was fined $25
for violation Of the antianar-
chist statute passed by the Leg
islature in 1919.
The court was lenient with the
offenders because all Of the men
have large families dependent on
them, and also because of their
promise to return home and do
their best To become useful cit
liens.
These men posted notices on
several cotton gins in the vicin-
ity OF Bald Knob last fall, warm
Ing the owners that THEN prop
erty would be burned unless they
ceased operations until cotton
brought 10 cents a pound. In ey-
cry case the gins continued rum
ing and the situation was report
ed TO officers whose quick action
in taking the men into custody
put a speedy end TO night rid
ing in White County.
All cases connected with the
boz car robberias at Bald Knob
last year, have been postponed
until the July term of court
because Of the absence OF Two
of the most important witnesses
for the prosecution. These rob
berries, which continued for more
than year, are believed to have
been the work Of an organized
band, some Of whom were en-
pIoyed by the Missouri Pacific.
About $4,000 worth of goods
Was stolen and peddled through
the country. A large part OF the
loot was recovered.
Honor Free was fined $50
for pistol toting, the offense be-
inc aggravated by his illunln-
ating the highway one night on
his way home fromchurch. He
