Departmental Reforms.
Washington Pcst.)

Washington PCSt.)
 Still driving along the lines of a busnessike Ad- mnlstration President Harding is reported now to be urging legislative action his plan reorganiza- tlon of the departments The present confusion of fort and waste of funds resulting from overlapping Or rather lack of system--is a reflection on the ability of those who in the past have attempted to conduct the business of Government. Thown together Tn haphazard fashion, built up in much the same manner that happy go-ucky homesteaders add rooms ana wings to their domiciles, to take of each increase in family and house new activity on the home lot the departments stand today as monu- lnents of unsystematic expansion With the expansion or Government to meet increasing national needs tne creation of many departmental agencies and bureaus was necessity But in creating them logical oeVeiopment was largely conspicuous by its absence As result there innumerabe instances of dup cation of expenditure
 Realization of this has led the President to- urge reorganization to the end that waste effort and nu- tlpe activities, with the unnecessary burdens in the way or expenditure that they entail, may be elim- mated, ana that by joining various agencies which cglcally belong together increasing efficiency in serv- Ice may be attained. True to his promise to give the nation businesslike administration, he now pro- poses to reapportion the agencies along systematic mes ana to cut out expensive dead wood that cumbers departmental machinery at the expense of the publlc It is statesmanke project that should ap- peal to all who believe in efficient and economic sanship in this move. It aims at effecing elimina- ton or unnecessary expense and at increasing the effectiveness of departmental service While selfish interest may prompt certain elements to oppose if Is supported by the logic of the existing situation and is uged by national need

WEEKS WARNING TIMELY.

The appeal in the annual report of Secretary of War John w. Weeks for sufficient funds to maintain q pelcetime regular army establishment that will be adequate to assure national safety is that every citizen might well ponder and every member of Con- gress should take himself. Not but repeatedly has found the nation ill prepared to conduct a campaign against the enemy of the moment and for that unreadness the country has paid not only in dollars but in thousands of the lives of it's bravest and choicest young
 The lessons of past experiences have been too dearly bought to be easily forgotten if not for gcten, heedlegsly dsregarded. They do not mean that it is necessity to maintain overwhelming force of men in the regular army establishment, Ireponderant navy, but rather that the peacetime military and naval establishments be con- situted to be capable of expansion without costly confusion entaled in drafting raw and untrained personnel. The million Of volunteers ready for serv- ice overnight myth has been exploded. Good soldiers and trained seamen are not made with the same rapidity that uniforms be turned out. It takes time to turn cut competent fighting more than that it requires competent instructors in sufi- cent numbers to train them. Without such instruct in the regular army, or navy and funds with which to work the nations trained fighting men will be strictly limited to small force that is not in itself more than the leaven for a single army and Sother would find the United States in the same condition the World War
 Who say that another world conflict may not impending? Wise hope and sane nations work to prevent it but only a nation of ostrichlke humans could ignore the frebrands of gleaming in the Old World. The cowed Turk of 1918 has be- come the conqueror of 1922 and sits at the peace table dctating conditions Russia is his ally and the great Frenchman, Clemenceau, tells his American hearers that Germany, smarting under the yoke of defeat twisting and squirming in an endeavor to eVade paying for her mad ambition and it's direfu consequences, is ready to make a third member of

GO AFTER THE TOURIST BUSINESS NOW

Steamship companies operating vessels in Alaskan waters making of their plans for draw ing many tourists to Alaskan tours next season than before in the past Both the American panies look for great increase in this class traffic and there is question about the Canadian line companies book through tours stopovers. They are interested in filling their vessels first all and not primarily in divertng any part of the travel through any particular channel locality.
 If all the tourists making summer trips to Alaska confined themselves to through tours, the benefit to any or all communities would be negligible Only by dverting the travel through local channels will the traffic become of value to the communities In other words, 100 tourists stopping in Juneau and mak ing it their headquarters for a week while they take in points of interest in the vicinity bring more reve- to the town and the district than ten times that number passing through the steamships Occupy ing the position does center of transportat within the Territory located in the scenic center of southeastern Alaska, possessing facilities by any other community, a scenic highway two scenic trails glaciers things the traveller ccmes North to see it is not to believe that proper advertising would attract fair percent age of the total number of persons making the Alaska summer tour. Within few weeks the booking of these tours will begin. If Juneau is to benefit next season it is not too early to begin campaign of publicity to that end

NO MENTION OF SOLDIERS BONUS.

One of the significant things about the President $ latest message to Congress reported in teegraphic deSpatches, it's failure to make mention in any way of the so-called Soldiers Bonus or to use the more euphcnious phrase of the American Legion ad- nouncement coming from White House sources re- gently, it is virtually certain that President has net altered the position he took last Fall. in vetoine the bonus bill passed by both Houses which was that any bonus legislation to receive executive approval and support must include means providing revenue to meet ths payments it carried.
 The bonus, however. will down whether given Presidentlal mention not The present Congress may not revive the subject In fact, if it gives due consideration to the various matters dealt with in the Presidents message it will hardly have time to consider additional legislation, especially one fraught with so much controversial danger as the bonus But to the fore
 ss poll of the membership of the Sixty-eigbtb h Congress has been made by the New York Times Indicating that there is good chance for passage of the bonus even over another Presidential veto As sumng that the reelected Representatives will vote on another veto the same way they did the flas time, and counting the expressions of the new Com Gressmen who answered queries sent out by The Times. tabulation of the prospective result gives 292 for the bonus and to override veto and 5a votes against. with 90 members unrepresented either the squery or because they old members who did not vote on the question in the former test i.

Alaska Trade Gains

 A gain of more than 78 per cent in cargo tons during the first ten months of this year speaks eo- quently of the revival in trade with Alaska
 Figures which deal in such matter-of-fact things as tons may not appeal to popular imagination hut in them is story of vital interest Seattle and to the rthland.
 Records of the first ten months of 1921 have been compared at the port wardens office with the figures tor corresponding period of 1922 with the result that the creditable showing for this year concides With other evidences of business revival
 During the 1921 period the total freight tonnaee northbound and southbound between Seattle and Alaska was l5O,774 tons. This year. as the season is closing the total tonnage is found to be 269145 tons
 The fact that each succeeding month since May has shown satisfactory gains indicates the stability of the trade In the tenmonths period last year Aasna shipped 64,435 tons of cargo, while this year inc total was l09,4S2. In ten months of 1921 Seattle shipped S6339 tons to Alaska and this year 15s 6S3 tons. '

A Super-Hero

They were discussing heroism shown during the war and recalling the deeds of bravery performed by some of the doughIboys. The meek little man had listened patiently to the various tales of courage, but finally he broke in with the question
 Do you want to hear of the great est example of courage ever shown?'
 "Shoot!" they cried.
 Well, a fellow in the dentists of. flee showed it. He was there to have a tooth pulled and was last on the waiting list And yet that bird after listening to the shrieks of pain that came from all those who pre- ceded him, waited patiently for his turn and then marched in to face the forceps as calmly as if he was going in to get a shave. Now what have you got to say about that?'
 That you are liar!" came a chorus of voices. There ain't no man that brlve.''
