War on Pneumonia.
{ Philadelphia Ledger l


 Pneumonia is the scourge of winter, as every one Knows It belongs to what might be called the ialal nVe diseases-the others being heart disease Kidney disease cancer and tuberculosis. In 1922 there were 2,7S6 deaths in Philadelphia from pneu- monla and broncho-pneumonia, evenly divided and most of them in the winter months. Only heart disease exceeded it death in the mortal ty reports
 The yirulence and commonness of the disease have focused medical attention both it's prevention and cure Now has a serum, product of Philadel- phia research, which has in half the ordinary death rate from lobar true pnuemonia when ad- mlnlstered in the early stages the disease If the general experience Of hospitals and physicians in prVate practice bears out the results obtained in experiments made with the serum Bellevue Hos pitai' New York, may congratulate ourselves on one CT the greatest advances in medicine since the serum treatment of dphtheria perfected
 Tn Bellevue Hospital the death rate from pneu- monla was reduced to 13 per cent in group of coverer of the serum. Dr. F. M Huntcon plans to continue his researches, aiming even more remark aoie results No one dare prophecy of course that the disease has been conquered At the same time no one should grudge stint the praises that tha scientists work deserves

MIXING PARTY POLITICS AND
 GOVERNMENT.

The bill pending in Legislature make the nominee of each party for Delegate Congress the members of the National Committee of his party for Alaska is both rediculous and pernicious. It consi- tutes unwarranted legislative interference with po- cal organizations on the one hand and the other 1t forces the Deegate' Congress chosen to repre- sent the people of Alaska in Congress into intra- party politics.
 One of the best promises made by Delegate Suth- ofland during his first campaign that he would not. if elected, be politician and devote his time 10 the distribution of the spells victory but that he would give his whole time attention to repre- renting the people of Alaska in Congress before the various Departments Washington.
 For nearly fifty years the American people have been trying to make their government, the law-mak ing branch of it particularly independent of the ap petites or political pie-chasers Fer that purpose imcng others was established the classified civil behind civil service legislation get efficient public service but 1t 10 make ii that might choose men for Congress other high offices account of the things for which they might their quali fcations for the offices for which they might be candidates.
 It would be backward step if We should make It so the voters would choose Delegate to Congress frem the viewpoint of those think of distribution Of patronage the main object of government
 There are far too many people who cannot see anything in government beyond the personnel of the public payroll and nothing in politics beyond pat- rcnage and persons.

ADDED COST OF PRODUCTION DOES NOT
 CONSERVE.

The salmon supply of Alaska cannot be scien- tiheaIy conserved by increasing the of produce ing canned solman The canners have approximately $75 900 900 invested in the salmon canning industry this Territory. The investments of such character that they cannot be removed. They must be used abondoned. Naturally those who rories will do all within their power utilize the plants equipment and property which represent this immense capital and make it pay profit the investment. If the Territory should, through excess give taxation add 10 the of production the would be creed to add the cost to the price of the product if possible and if prevented, through competition with British Columbia, Washington and other Pacific States producers and the Asac product fTcm doing that, they would have to make up for it through other economics increased production
 The only way to conserve the salmon supply is to limit the pack just the Department of Com- merce Is attempting do il through the jurisdiction it has acquired under the Presidential pro- clamaons in other direct way The pack rhcud be put up under the most economical and tfc conditions. The interest of those engaged in the served in that way.
 The tax the fishing industry in Alaska like the tax on all other industries, should be for the purpose of raising bear the cost of an economically admniftered government cf the simplest and most inexpensive practicable form Taxes levied for other purpoes constitute unnecessary taxation and "unneeessary taxation is unjust taxation
