AMERICAN LIBERTIES

Man cannot find his salvation in hall of legislation or in the most benevolent despot who ever wrote decrees He can find moral or physical slavery there but he cannot find virtue and he will not look for it there. The American ideal of lbery was an asset to human life. It presupposed the best type of manhood Ie demanded self discipline, in telligence, courage, conscience and respect for the opinions, beliefs, and rights of others. We do not believe that it has failed. The laws which are destroying it assume that it has failed and that the American is a child in the nursery who must have functionary inter- vening between him and the printing press, the moving picture production, various sports, various beverages, various amusements, etc. The free American was competent to go about his own affairs, making his own decisions, con- sulting his own conscience, and respecting the of others. He did not need the mass of laws which have been put upon him to his detrment and to the impairment of his free dom-Chicago Tribune.

All over the United States there are better
 end of the country to the other there are cleaner and healthier cities as a result of putting this idea into practice. Civic pride has been wonderfully stimulated and devel- oped into expression in other things besides
 the primary features of this campaign; be-
 cause you cannot set in motion a great force
 without creating surplus energy and other
 applications of the original idea.
 Cities are profiting in many other ways from
 the spirit aroused and the cooperative energy
 created. People who have worked together for the common welfare know and appreciate each other better There is finer neighbor- hood and community feeling and newly found sense of cooperative power. It is easier to do the many other desirable things since the "Clean Up and Paint Up' idea has stimulated the right spirit and created the right CO., operative organizations that enlisted the whole community.
 Where the spirit has been properly devol- |oped the ''Cean Up and Paint Up Campaign" is conducted every year and almost all the year round, in the continuance of some of the features of the campaign throughout the year. In cities that have been cleaned up, the work now is to keep clean. Food condi- |tions are constantly looked into. The thrift Igardens and flower gardens are kept up. Va cant lots are not permitted to revert to the tin can and tall weeds state. Health and police officers find it easy to keep their forces and the people keyed up to vigorous enforcement of the sanitary ordinances and regulations Formerly neglected properties land DpirhbOrhOOds find themselves on thc map of restored values and responsibility. Civic spirit pervades all classes and is con- |stantlv on the alert.
 That is the ideal condition. When that condition shall have 5con reached in every city and town in the United States this great idea will have achieved ;ts highest purpose.

NEW ALASKA CABLE

While reconstruction of the Alaska cable IS required to facilitate business between the States and the North1and the relaying of the line is of importance from military viewpoint. The first replacement work will be done be- tween Seattle and Sitka, and plans then call for the substitution of the stretch between Sitka and Seward Further extension is re- garded as possible to Dutch Harbor, and from there continuation of the system, either direct or by way of Yokohama or Shanghai, to the Philippines has been matter of ire quent discussion.
 The first piece of Alaska cable was laid between Juneau and Skagway in August, 1901. The line between Seattle and Sitka was put in operation in August 1904, and the extension to Valdez was made later in the same year. The system was completed to Seward in 1905. All together, main line and branches, it has a length of 2,8O0 miles.
 With the $75O,000 made available in the War Department bill, new line can be laid between Seattle and Sitka. To obtain the material and do the work would require little more than a year, and then the next Congress would be expected to appropriate a similar amount for reconstruction between Sitka and Seward.
 Extension of the system from Seward to Dutch Harbor, distance of 600 miles, will be certain if the Aleutian seaport IS selected for naval station. Dutch Harbor, because of it's proximity to the Asiatic coast, IS now under investigation by naval officers. It IS distant about 4,000 miles in direct line from the Philippines, and 260O miles from Yoko- hama.
 Better cable facilities are needed between the United States and the Far East, and re- gently the report was current that the com pany owning the Pacific cable might lay an |extension to Japan from Dutch Harbor if the Federal authorities should continue their system to that port. A private corporation, however. could not be expected to construct Ia line from Dutch Harbor to the Orient and divide with the Government tolls on through business Rather the company could better afford to lay it's own cable for the entire distance.
 Whatever the outcome of the tentative and rather remote plans of the Army and Navy for @ Far East extenson early reconstruction |of the Alaska system will greatly aid business here and in the northern territory.-Ex.

Medicine for a sick busi- ness is Advertising. 1t works wonders while you sleep.

by the prestige of governmental recommends ton and advice should be placed behind the slogan 'See America First" But because Congress will not at this stage authorize any new projects there is no hope that the National
 Park Service will have money to spend for
 space this coming twelve months.
 Purse -pinching by Congress is also operating to hold to rigid limitations the aid which
 advertisers in the preparation of their copy, when the copy draws its inspiration from the
 parks and their attractions. Every advertiser is free, of course to borrow data, description, or other copy from any of the publications put
 out under the imprint of the United States Department of the Interior But, if they had their way, the officials of the National Park Service would go farther and supply gratis
 photographs, drawings, lantern slides and other illustrative material to all advertisers that, while serving their own interests, incl |dentally promote travel to the parks. Con- gress has declared once more, incident to the program for 1923, that it cannot yet afford to extend fairst aid to advertisers thuswise
 Some sops are to be thrown to advertisers, nevertheless, even in this era of economy. The National Park Service has accumulated by donation collection of some 5000 photo graphs which are loaned to advertisers for any legitimate purpose. Any advertiser who will pay the photographers charges may ob- tain photographic enlargements of park views (which are most effective for use in expo sition exhibits and similar displays Equally practical in it's benefit is the arrangement whereby private advertisers may purchase, at the actual cost of manufacture, electrotypes from plates used in the official publications Iof the Park Service In the dozens of differ ,ent publications, put out for sale or for free distribution by the Park Service, are scores
 of illustrations which, if it were only realized. are adaptable to the uses of many western advertisers. The expense of obtaining this
 material from the Government is nominal as compared with the outlay that would be neces- Isary if an advertiser were to assemble his pictorial layout at first hand.
 Ire advertising which the National Park Service will do on its own hook in 1923 will
 be confined principally to the circulation of the trademarks in colors, above referred to,
 and the distribution of the illustrated pam phlets or handbooks which substantially serve tie purpose of guide books to the tourist
 meccas. There is a separate booklet for each park and the text is revised annually. h. cidentally it may be mentioned that the Park Service is firm believer in rejuvenating the perennial advertising booklet by frequent
 changes of cover designs. Accordingly, when Ia new edition of any park pamphlet is ordered lit is the policy to provide new illustration las a cover subject.
 Circulation of these "descriptive cat Ialogues" of the parks grow year by year.

There will be two boats in port this week from Seattle and it is certainly up to the City Council to see that the walk to tlre ocean dock is cleared of snow before their arrival As these walks are in the pal ity there is no good reason why they should not be kept in the same condition as others are in the main part of the town.

prisoners are not there because OF

because of having committed overt

justice and no mitigating circum-

Judge Parkers plan was to give
them a chance to pledge themselves
