ENGLAND'S NEW PREMIER.

Perhaps has earned the Premiership of Great Britain in SC shcrt time Stanley Baldwin. That does that his political career has been short inconsequentia He has been long in public life his great merit recognition many years age However his title to party leader ship Premiership through the brilliancy and strength his record the head of the Treasury in the Law Cabinet. His stand that Great Britain should pay every farhng of her debt to the United Satee that would be satisfactory to this country and his fight for reduced governmental ex- penditures and lower what caught the good and spirit of farpay that have long been characteristics of the English speaking people. The strength of his fight fer the honesty and thrift in government has been recognized for generations in private British business made marked of him and caused the acceptance of him the leader of his party and the proper for the head ship of the Britieh Government.
 That MT. Baldwin won his position oyer Curzon, Chamberlain, Geddes and others equally brilliant but emphasizes the magnitude of the work he has plished within the last year
 Of course, there is great Conservative leader that could have had the Premiership again. Balfour IS in class by himself among Englishmen. One of the greatest statesmen his country has produced Balfour voluntarily retired from party leadership and than has refused the headshnp of the gov ernment He occupied subordinate place in the George Governmnt for considerab period because he could not refuse the call of his country during war. He is one man whose trade is statesmanshp D and politics who is not cnly not ambitious for political honors but who shuns them.
 The selection of MT. Baldwin for Prime Minister IS recognition the part of his country that there is now greater interest in England finance and domestic affairs than in politics and foreign affairs.

Presidents Alaska Trip.
Seattle Times. )


 President Hardngs intention to make of his Alaska visit something than pleasure trip is evidenced by his plan for stay Of about three weeks in the Territory. Leaving here aboard thf transport Henderson July B. he will be enabled to gc to all the principal towns in the Southeastern and Southwestern divisions of the Northland well as u the richest part of it's Interior before he Is due in San Francisco about August 5.
 While details of the Presidents itinerary have not yet been arranged, he probably will go north, after calls at Victoria and ancouver C., by way Of ket- chikan, the fishing metropolis; Juneau famed for its gold quartz mines; the Gulf of Alaska, teeming with all kinds of food Cordova the copper port; Val dez headquarters for the Third Judicial Division. and Seward, coast terminal of the Alaska Railroad Quit ting the transport at Seward the Presidential party will travel the railroad to Anchorage, and then through the Matanuska Valley with it's many farms, and past the coal fields with their producing mines, to Fairbanks the northern terminal of the railroad, ACT miles from Seward, and the center of the well cultivated Panama Valley agricultural region and of the richest and most extensive gold placer mining district in the North.
 From Fairbanks, the President in all likelihood. will travel by automobile the Richardson Highway, fine road built by the government, to Chitna in the Kennecot copper and thence by the Copper River and Northwestern Railway to Cordova, where he will board the Henderson for direct return voyage to the States.
 On his trip north, the chief executive will view the sources of Alaska's greatest weahtimber, fish cries and that since the purchase of the Territory in 1867 for $7200, 900 have yielded more than billion dollars
 The Northland will benefit not only because of the that the cnle1 executive Will institute, but also as result of the wide attention that will be directed to it by reason of his visit That full ad- vantage may be taken of the general interest that will be aroused in the Territory representatives of the Department of the Interior. which has jurisdc- ton over timber mineral agricultural and other pub- lie lands and which operates the government rail- road, will take motion pictures of trade and indus trial activities at the time of the Presidents visit These Will be exhibited in the States educational films to give people ideas of the northern Territory.
 of hae failure Of government officials to appreciate it's con dfons and by misconcepton by the people of its re- sources and possibilities Both faults will be remeded in large measure if not entirely as a re- suit of the Presidents trip.

Government by Minorities.
(San Francisco Journal.)


 One of the weak points of democracy is that it tends to put the function of governing hands of the unofficial few Where majorities are said to rule, the ruling is done quite often by mere ma- Jority of the majority, and that again subdivided indefinitely until the power gets down into the hands of the determined manipuatcrs Whether this de- feet in popular democracy will ever be remedied without revolutionary changes in the whole method or government remains for the future to disclose
 In q pure democracy whenever questions cease to be decided by free and general superseded by playing off one contending unit against another or by the unnatural coagulaton of such units then such government ceases to have any virtue It be- come merely oligarchy an uncertain and changing stability. It to avoid this 1uctuating control of the uncertain mob that led to the adoption or the monarchial form of government and unpre u- diced observers will admit that a good desposm produces better government results that bad uemociacy. But there is assurance that any despotism will remain good though it starts ont that way Despotsms have fourshed all through h history by the simple device teaching the people that monarchs were established by God that it was olasphemy to interfere with them.
 One or the delusions which average American family fondly hugs to it's is that the govern ment we have established represents the verv nnnaoIo or human wisdom It hatters vanity to think that trough there is little sound doing SO The man reason which justifes the belief SO far as if can De Justified is the larger hope that under condi tiohs or freedom mankind will profit by it's own mi takes and proceed to rectify them On this theory We thihk We can afford to endure a bad government oi our own making if by doing so we learn to do better the next time W ~
 one Of the curosites of democracy is that if never seems to get rid of it's conceit and therefore if iearhs very slowly disrusts education and is very reiuctaht to encourage the formation of a class of governmental experts, as we have expers in otbar branches of science. We prefer our own incomne tent hands. pe

TEMPERATE TEMPERANCE LAW NEEDED

dozen years ago, speaking in favor of the an nonnced principles of the Anti-Saloon League, MT. Bryan declared that it not the purpose of the League to deprive those who had become accustomed to take alcoholic stimuant of an occasional glass of grog to deprive those to whom meal was not a Aat1sfyng dinner unless wine beer other mild drink served with it from enjoying them selyes He declared the purpose of the League to be the abolition of the saloon and its perncious nu- cnce in society and politics Mr Bryan approved Of this program and it supported by q majority of the temperance people of the country at that time.
 If this program had been followed a law could have been enacted behind the enforcement of which ment Of the country and that is necessary in order to secure enforcement of any law regulating the duct of the people. It sane and temperate program.
 No reform be brought about except that il be supported by public sentiment that is overwhelmng g. Sunday laws are not enforced generally anywhere Anti-gambng laws do stop card playing for prizes small stakes in homes clubs or even public places. That is true because large percentage ol the people do not believe that it is harmful to dc good work Sunday for one to wager cards within his means.
 There are number of States in which tho fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Consf tuition are not enforcedin which there has been nc attempt to enforce them for more than thirty years That is because the sentiment in those States make enforcement impractcable
 People-T-good, Christian people-still speak with pride of the connection of relatives the Under ground Railroad organized to defy the Fugitive Slave law. which was upheld by the United States Supreme Court, and still sing about John Brown g seul marching because he was led to overt acts Tn defiance of law by those who refused to approve of the. law of the land
 There are hundreds of thousands of American citizens who do not believe that it is harmful to Indulge temperately in stimulating beverages The result is that prohibition is being enforced in the United States despite the energies are being nut forth to make it effective The Volsead law is heinz disregarded in many States by all except the Fed eral prohibition enforcement officers.
 The sensible way to handle the liquor question In the United States, way that would do all the Anti-Salcon League set out to do would be through fhe dispenrary system, the Canadian way However people who wish to remove a cause for much law lcsness in the land and to secure law that would promote temperance and which could be enforced nave been advocating measure under the Eighteenth Amendment. that would permit the use of beer and light wine In support of such law many of the leading men of the country including clergymsn col

PRICE OF TURKEYS
 TAKES SHARP DROP
Larger Supply Than in Previous
 Years Thought Responsible

l. For the first time in years the price of turkeys for Thanksgiving was within reach of all when the market price practically collapsed this after noon and turkeys could be purchased for almost any price the customer wanted to pay
 IE previous years according to Jos eph R. Andrews, president of the Chamber of Commerce and head of Andrews, Swift X Co.,, the price of turkeys has remained high because the demand far exceeded the supply. This year it appears to be pretty much the other way and advance sale of turkeys at the point of production has not taken care of all the available supply. Because of this condition, poultry raisers with a surplus of tur- keys have shipped them to the larger cities to be sold for what they could bring. Carloads after carloads arriv- ing in the cities resulted in what ear ly this morning threatened to become a demoralized market. This condition gradually spread to the smaller towns and cities until this afternoon those who still had turkeys on hand were selling them for considerably lower, than they asked yesterday for ducks and chickens.
 From 57 to 62 cents a pound ap- pesred to be the prevailing price of turkeys in the city yesterday and this morning. This afternoon no two mer- chants were found who were getting the same price for the Thanksgiving bird. A canvass of six of the leading produce stores showed the price to be as low in some places as 45 cents d pound.
