CIVIL SERVICE FOR PosTMAsTERS IN DISFAVOR

Dr. Hubert Work, retiring Postmaster Gen Ieral, demonstrates in one of his last official .utterances from his old department, that he lis practical man, and for that Alaskans may hereafter have reason for gladness Before assuming his new duties as Secretary of the Interior he recommends to President Harding that the present regulations requiring candi- dates for postmastership to be examined by the Civil Service Commission, be abandoned. This we know will be in accord with the views of Senator Harry S. New, the new Postmaster General who can always find good timber in the Republican party for offices to be filled during Republican administration. Dr.. Work thus expresses himself:
 ''The Postoffice Department is strictly business organization and ought to be aided in putting the right man in the right place as in any other private business. His chance for his own advancement will not then be handl- capped either by political considerations or restrictions entailed by the present plan re- ouiring examinations by the Civil Service Commission which does not give civil service status'

are numerous, as usual, but nevertheless the world is working out of its worst difficulties. The French experiment in Germany remains an uncertain adventure, but there is some con- fort Tn the fact that it is an economic struggle, thus far. and the probability of war seems to
 become less as the days pass. The quarrel between Turkey and Europe is in process of adjustment, in spite of the devious methods adopted by the Turks to avoid settlement. The Russian red army is no longer feared as an aggressive agency, since it has been ac- knowledged by the Soviet leaders that the sol diels will fight only in defense of Russian soil. Finally, and not least, the adjustment of European debts to the United States has been given powerful stimulus by the British debt agreement, now successfully running the gauntlet of Congress. All these signs point to clear skies, the return of reace, and the resumption of work by Euro pean peoples. With Europe actively at work, values will return to its currencies, and in- creased purchasing power will manifest itself in larger demands for American products.

PUBLICITY IS NEEDED.


 Recently the Cordova Daily Times carried an editorial explaining the need of adver- Using this section of Alaska.
 We heartily agree with the Times in this respect.
 Nowhere can the hunter find better big game country, the Kenai peninsula not ex- cepted, than in the region immediately ad- jaccnt to Mccarthy. Here he can secure con- potent guides who will take him into the very heart of the mountains and keep him company through experiences that could not be equaled in any part of the country. Here lie would find game that could and does test the skill and ingenuity of the best sportsmen. He would kill bear, sheep and goats in manner that would make him the exposure of all his associates in the States. Upon his re- turn home lie would be able to relate thrilling experiences encountered in the pursuit of sheep across glaciers and of the wariness of the brown bear If he were fond of fishing he could relate tales of trout and grayling that would make his brother nimrods hang their heads and never speak of their three pound stuffed trophy again.
 Nowhere can the tourist view more wonder ful scenery than upon the Copper River X Northwestern Railway as it winds in and out of mountain gorges crosses rushing torrents, and rasses by scores of mighty glaciers. Here tourists can see spots made famous in Rex Beach's novel, ''The Iron Trail,'' and as a fitting sequel to this journey they could see the richest copper mines in the world. They could take a trip into the placer mining dis tricts and could go from there into the upper reaches of the rivers if so inclined. If they did go back into the hills they would find glaciers whose appalling strength has leveed mountains and then has laid quiet until in one case a large forest has grown upon the ice They could see mountains that are fall ing 10 pieces and other mountains that arc composed of pumce, and skirted by streams tliat are filled with floating stone certain seasons of the year. When the tourist re turned to the States he would have had a trip that he would remember for years to come. He would have seen a wonderland without peer and incidentally the last frontier
 With q country of this nature adjoining, Mccarthy would do well to enter into the ad- veriisng game herself.
 We have a Commercial Club; but to ac- conlp]ish anything the organization must have the backing of the community. If everyone would get together and pull for the tourists and hunters, we would soon get results This class of the travelling public often settles in a place and thus form the basis of boom in land values Residents of. the entire Copper River Valley should put their shoulders to the wheel and push the movement along because if successful it would materially benefit every one
 Properly handled this entire region would advance to the position she deserves in the eyes of tie rest of the Territory.
 The world comes to him who has the best, be it mountains or mousetraps, but the com modity must be advertised. Carthy News.

A CONGRESSIONAL VACATION

President Harding has set his face against session of Congress between the adjourn ment and the regular session beginning in De- cember It is his judgment that the country needs a vacton from Congressional activity * The public is tired of Congress, and the faul! is with Congress itself There has rarely been time in the history of the country when the basis of partisan differences has been so light yet there has rarely been a Congress in which partisan differences and authorizations were so emphasized. We can think of but one measure-that of the British debt settlcment-that has been discussed dur ing the session from other than partisan standpoint Every other notable legislative proposal has carried the flavor of politics; and what is worse, it has been the politics of faction rather than politics relating to broad principles or to national policies.
 Under the influences that have surrounded membership in Congress since the direct pr- mary came into operation the vision of ind- vidual Congressmen has been narrowed down within personal and parochial limits. The politics of his district has become more lm- portant to the individual Congressman than the issues of the Nation. The new order has made of almost every Congressman first of all a mere schemer for votes. Today there are few men in Congress who can say as Tom Reed once said: 'I do not have to look after my district; my district looks after me-"
 The situation in Congress has been further demora]ized by lack of competent leadership For all it's faults, the old convention system selected many men of forceful character, men qualified by nature and by habit and by es- tablished prestige for leadership. The new system works to other ends; it develops sub- servience of character rather than force of character. Thus it is that during the recent session neither in the Senate nor in the House has there been anybody on either the Re publican or Democratic side competent to the business of party leadership. We have the natural result in situation that recently led Senator John Sharp Williams, in announcing his retirement after thirty years service, to add that he ''would rather be a dog~an bay the moon than serve longer in Congress-" In similar mood, Secretary Weeks recently de- clared "Congress was never at so low an ebb.O
 Verify, it is time for Congressional va cation; and if, in the few remaining days of the life of the Sixty-Seventh Congress, it shall do the things it ought to do-things that can easily be done-there will be no need for Congressional action until December, when the Sixty -Ei ghth Congress will convene automati- cally.-San Francisco Argonaut.
