NEW STYLES IN BROADCASTING

No single thing illustrates the present days spirit of alertness, with it's quick communi- cation of ideas through the newspapers and the public's quick acceptance of new ideas, better than the spread of radio.
 Compare it with the years of hard seddinc. that the telephone encountered in its younger days.
 Radio on the other hand, has become prac- ticalv universal institution within two years Even now, perhaps, it's ultimate possibilities are unmeasured But already it has developed from toy to a general utility.
 And why did it ''arrive' so quickly?
 Because, 0D People today are quick to greet new ideas.
 Because, O. The newspapers spread in formation of new ideas almost overnight
 Because, (3): The certainty that new in ventlons can be quickly marketed through newspaper advertising stimulates quick in vention and improvements.
 The rapid spread of the radio habit is demonstration of what newspaper advertisno. can do for any new idea, if that idea has real merit to back up the publicity

THE AIR MAIL

A Government mail plane has recently made a new speed record of 435 miles in a little over two hours and a half with 40O-pound load This is important in two respects-lt demonstrates the possible speed of delivery of important mail and it also demonstrates the practical use of airplanes for other purposes Carrying mail by airplane will always be minor feature of our postal service For ordl- nary mail the railway train will serve as we'll as an airplane. Ordinary mail could not on the whole pay the postage that would be required to make air mail service self-sup- porting But as a result of experience we shall develop mail service that will be Of great value to communications where speed is prime consideration. The air mail service has It's chief value at present not in the actual carving of mail but in the traning of men in the operation of airplanes, in the discovery of better methods and the development of bet ter mechanisms. The men who are engaged in this work are rendering a great service to the nation and to the world.

A ROWLING SUCCESS

Prohibition is a bowling success-hoWng from the windswept reaches of Sandy Hook to the feet of the Statue of Liberty; screech- ing from the Golden Gate; yelling wantonly along the forty parallel, shouting from the wooded coves of Puget Sound; voclfer- ating from the Mexican border line and in anelv haIlooing for tall tower somewhere down street in Spokane. Everything Is lovely at least with those who draw pay from the people Upon the word of Prohibition Com missioner Haynes, who blew through here a few days ago, the things done. The taste for liouor has been downed; everyone IS con- verted and personally conducted mlllenlum is here or hereabuots. Barnum was right. Most of us like to be fooled.
 Down in Texas an average of three men were killed daily during last year; along the Atlantic seaboard a militant navy of impress sive proportions is playing hide-and-seek; a deluge is pouring across the border lines north and south and an alarming disrespect for ali law has been engendered everywhere.
 Let us admit, for sake of argument, that liouor is bad for the human race. Then let us admit, if we are fond of the truth, that lying, deceit, disrespect for law and conn., vance at laws infraction are infinitely worse. Where do we arrive? At the indisputable con- cusion that prohibition has made more crim- inals than any law ever passed and has been the most costly, most utterly ineffective statute ever placed upon the books, here or anywhere else.

THE TERRITORY'S FURS

The Hudson's Bay Company recently de- clared a dividend of forty-f per cent. That in the 252nd year of it's operation this famous trading corporation, one of the oldest in the world, is able to make dividend payments of nearly half it's capital stock, is a striking commentary on the value of the fur trading business as a permanent industry. Starting with few isolated posts on the Atlantic coast of Canada, this British company has pushed on to the westward in advance of civilization over the entire extent of a con- tinent Through its trading posts and agencies 1t has built up commerce that has given occupation and income to thousands of natives and those prospectors and adventurers to whom the world owes the penetration of it's unknown wldernesses. The history of the Hudson's Bay Company is fraught with drama; its policies have not always been characterized by humane or scrupulous methods Yet that its operations as a furtrading agency after two centures are still sufficiently great to justify dividends of nearly half its capital stock is good evidence that the trapping busi- ness is not necessarily demoralizing to the supply of fur bearing animals.
 The example afforded by the Dominion of Canada, where the Hudson's Bay Company has Cd11lc( OH nlOSU Ol US Opcl Hay 1lllN be observed in Alaska. The supply of fur bearing animals in Alaska is relatively just as great, and in many respects more varied. than that of Canada, and with the operation of proper trapping methods and the enforce ment of proper laws against ruthless destruc tion, should be perpetual source of commerce and revenue. What the fur business means to the Alaskan Indian, to the white trapper, to the legitimate prospector and settler, is evi denced by the $9O,O00,000 worth of products it has contributed to the commerce of the Territory since the American occupation. What it may continue to be is graphically shown by the statement of the Hudson's Bay Company. It is a promise that demands the strict enforcement of game laws the punish ment of indiscriminate killing methods, such as the poisoning of animals, and the proper and conscientious conservation of the wild life of the Territory on the part of every citizen.

ago. To it has succeeded the day of exploiting tie railroads themselves, presented series of costly experiments in Government operation and multiplied repressons through various public agencies. The latter run the gamut of Congress, the Interstate Commerce Commits sion, State Public Utilities Commissions, State Legislatures, even municipal councils and every conceivable regulating agency that could be invoked.
 The Public Service Magazine calls attention again to the fact that the period of the railroads greatest development was the pc riod characterized by the least batting and restriction. It declares truthfully that regula- tion is here to stay and ought to stay.
 But it should be regulation and not perse- cution; it should develop and not suppress; it should aid and not burden.
 This aid is not asked in the form of subsi- dies or grants or paternasm in any form. On the contrary, the railroads ask only 'to be let alone''-not to dominate along the old lines, but to work out their own problems and tue problems of the nation without the vicious super regulation which now constitutes the incubus resting upon them and, through them, upon the business of the country.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-03-14
GIVE RAILROADS A CHANGE

The Public Service Magazine quotes with approval the following statement by President w. H. Bremner of the Minneapolis St. Louis railroad:
 ''Private management and private control built the best and most efficient railroad sys- tenn in the world and furnished transportation at the lowest price. If railroad arrangements were able to do this in the past, cannot the American people trust them to furnish eff cient and cheap transportation and restore the railroads to their owners? Easy transpor- tation for men and goods made this nation strong and great. If we would continue so, we must maintain easy transportation; and this cannot be done under our present plan for super-regulation.
 President Bremner is of course holding a brief for only his own unit in the great con- posite transportation system of the country. But justice and wisdom in dealing with that unit will not minimize the value of the other factors in the system.
 The day of 'exploitation" by the railroad, if such day ever existed, passed away long

JUDGE STACKPOLE

Ketchikan's Grand Old Man, its oldest cit izen, Judge E. s. Stackpole, today gave up lifes battles, after eighty-nine "enjoyable years,'' as he expressed it himself on this earth But, even though it comes not so much as a surprise when one passes the four score mark the passing of such personality as Judge Stackpole weighs heavily upon the hearts of all who knew him, for all who knew him loved him.
 For many years public official, Judge Stackpole gained the respect and admiration of the bar and the citzenry generally; even did he have the friendship of those whom he was compelled to discipline in his accord

operation after he has received his comrnis- sion. If, after he has had this practical ex- perience, he wishes to resign and enter civil ian life; he may properly be permitted to do so. In that event, his training will have been such as to make him of value to the Nation as a Naval officer in case of war. Men who are not willing to do this much for the Govern ment ought not seek education at the Naval Academy. There are other public institutions suited to their needs where they can be edu- cated at less expense and without interferino' with the aspirations of others who look toward tie Naval Service as a career.

Probably most of the worlds unhappness is caused by others not doing what them to do and doing what they wish do. It's all right to bite the hand that's feeding you if it's feeding you poison

  What youth starting into business should keep in mind is that honors may be very cheap, but cash is always expensive.

FAIR ENOUGH

The Navy Department is right in its de- termination to enforce an old rule which pro- vides that graduates of the Naval Academy will not be permitted to resign until they have been commissioned for three years. The Gov ernment incures great expense in giving a young man an education at the Academy and does it for the special purpose of training men for service in the Navy in time of war. In order to be fully fit for service, they should not only have their scholastic training but the experience that an officer gets by actual

feet down the steep incline of. Field
