ing for the Territorial schools and other boards. That Juneau has no right to printing paid for by taxpayers of each division is ap- parent to anyone who can think. The cleo tion expenses for the Territorial general cleo tion are paid for out of Fund c, which or iginates from licenses, fines, etc., in each di- vision. In case this amendment carries it would take the matter from the Government and add the expense to the Territory. Repre- sentative Johnston has no brief for Juneau printers, so far as we can observe, and must have introduced his measure as a catspaw, aimed at the Fairbanks paper.
 This measure is iniquitous and will stifle trade at home; therefore it should be killed in the committee. The papers of Alaska should mark down the legislators who show an unfriendly spirit and retire them from office if possible.-Seward Gateway.

THE PRESIDENTS SHADOW

For two years President Harding has prom ised himself a trip to Alaska Doubtless he visioned himself leaving the fevered, whis- pering world of politics and job-hmting and the echoes of Washington when he set foot on a ship Sitka- bound
 There are only few thousand people in Alaska It is as far from the desk in the White House as a President can get and remote from the worn trail of the place hunter There are no postoffices worth both ering about in the Smoky Aleuts. Golf links may be few and the black flies most pestifer ous, but departmental rows and bureau feuds have their habitat on the Potomac, not the Yukon. So, doubtless, ran the meditations of the President.
 Therein he was mistaken. Though he should take the wings of the morning and cross the desolate reaches of the sea, yet he will find trouble waiting for him. Though he flee to the rocks and the mountains of Alaska next July, he will find trouble perching on the headlands
 One of these Tapped his dark wings in Congress the other day. Dan Sutherland, Alaska's delegate, says Secretary Hoover and the President have turned over the flnny riches of Alaska seas to a gang of Chicago and West Coast packers Whereupon, Gov ernor Scctt Bone of Alaska, assails Delegate Sutherland. A pretty kettle of fish will be steaming and bubbling when the President gets there.
 There is no rest for our Presidents; not even among the totem poles, kayaks, and seal pups of the Far Northwest. Trouble walks with the President wheresoever he may go; it sits on his shoulder and 1t is his shadow. He had a right to hope for quiet vacation in Alaska, desultorv wandering in the waters of an Arctic Summer, glimpse at the furred and timbered riches of the North.
 It is not to be. Alaska like the rest of the nation, will dump her troubles on the President. Hot-eyed, muttering men will charge and counter charge.
 When we elect President he cannot es- cape us and our troubles He must be father confesser, arbiter and umpire for everybody and everything from coal strike and bureaus row to the disposition of sub-assistant -dep- uty marshalship. We work him and harass him to exhaustion, and when he runs away from us we hunt him down and lie in ambush for him. He has high office, but he pays a terrible price for it.-Ketchikan Chronicle.

A NEEDED JOB WELL DONE

Ambassador Harvey may have been, as British officialdom intimates, bit 'unusual, '' but the weight of the evidence tends to show that he was everlastingy right. In ways
 nnumerable British statesmen and the Brit ish press have sought to make it appear that the United States was under great moral obligation to cancel the $4,0o0,000,O0O war loan to Britain, and in seeking to create this impression they have not failed to plume themselves and their country upon their ex- ceeding virtue while at the same time placing the United States in disparaging light. It was about time that halt was called on this hypocrosy, and although it may have been slightly out of the usual diplomatic channels for Ambassador Harvey to do it, it cannot be denied that he made good job of it.

A PRECIOUS MEASURE

Representative Johnston of the Fourth Di vision has introduced an amendment to the Territorial election laws which, should endear him to all newspapers and citizens who believe in patronizing home industry. His amendment provides that all election supplies should be furnished by the Territorial secretary. That tho young gentleman had evidently been coached in his amendment by Fourth Division court officials is certain, as move was made to this effect by the Clerk of Court at Fair banks during the last election,
 This amendment would take hundreds of dollars worth of printing from court head quarters in each division and send it to Juneau, which has already cribbed the print

BALFOUR'S REPLY TO HARVEY

Ambassador Harvey did not discuss or undertake to discuss the British debt question on ethical grounds. George Harvey dealt with facts alone George Harvey is far too cap able a newspaper man, too sound an editorial writer, to make the speech he made at the Pilgrims dinner without knowing his facts. Lord Balfour in his speech in reply to the American Ambassador was not convincing in that phase of his remarks which dealt with the facts-the facts to which Ambassador Harvey so earnestly addressed himself.
 Lord Balfour devoted considerable part of his speech to the ethics of the great war transaction between his Empire and this Re- point of view America was right, but sug- gesting that from an ethical viewpoint Ameri ca was not so right In respect of this sug- gcston is it not well also to remember that in the settlement at Versailles, business matter in which Lord Balfour himself played one of the great parts. America showed her self far less commercial than all the other victors?
 2 The United States did not criticize the British Empire for acquiring valuable domain over German colonies in Africa. New Guinea, Samoa and Nauru or for strengthening her in fluence in Egypt It did not criticize Great Britain for demandind billions of indemnity. England had sustained great losses by the war. It was the errand of Lord Balfour and Mr. Lloyd George to obtain reparations, and they secured them.
 As against this wholly iustifiable and busi- ness procedure of the British Government America asked nothing, got nothing. Surely this was not ultracommercial it was not even fair to ourselves If America had demanded that which was due here in the way of rep arations there would have been distinctly poorer pickings for England, France and the others who shared in the awards
 This replyr of Lord Balfour to Ambassador Harvev's speech is but natural response cal culated to sustain and buttress his note of last Summer on the debt question. in which he argued for cancellation of all international war debts among the Allies and Associated powers.
 If the statement in the note to the effect that the United States demanded Britain 's guaranty of loans made to her allies had re- mained unchalenged bv Colonel Harvey it would have been imbedded in the record and SO found its place in English history, even though our Secretary of the Treasury, MT. Mellon, had categorically denied it.
 George Harvey had no desire to stir un strife or to split hairs, or to do anything but put his Government right with the British people and make straight the record, and in this he did the thing that obviously he should have done.

HEARST PUBLICATIONS INCREASE

The news dispatches of few days ago car ried the information that William Randolph Hearst had purchased two more newspapers, hoth in the city of Baltimore and formerly the propertv of Frank A. Munsey. These additions to the string of newspapers owned bv w. R. Hearst at the present time give him control of 20 newspapers throughout the country Included in this number are seven morning and thirteen evening publications, twelve of which issue Sunday editions.
 It is reported in the East that still other naners will be added to the organization, one report saying that fifty new publications Will be started within the next few months. A writer in current magazine, in drawing a nen picture of Mir. Hearst, characterized hls newspaper properties combined with the other publications owned by him, as beng the worlds greatest but most futile publicity machine. '<' "@s'''' ~'"s '"'~
 The truth of this statement as to the tu- tilitv of Hearst publicity is open to question: If is true to intelligent readers that the turid sensationalism and hysterical partisan shin that characterize Hearst papers react apanst the very impression they seek to make Rut not all Hearst readers are intelligent readers. On the contrary the great mass of people to whom the Hearst publications make their direct appeal are the least intelligent of the great American public and those with the least ability for forming judicial opinions They are the readers who are appealed to through race and national prejudice, through infamed class interest, through all the nor- sonal passions of envy and greed and ma|ico which are their heritage. William Randolph Hearst has it in his conscience that he has added to Amercan-and world-iournalism a dangerous and demora]izing quality all tn" more notent in its effect for being presented with the highest journalistic skill boueht at the highest price, It is difficult to estimate tho effnct that has been produced UDon Amer ican character and American principles hv the journalism of Hearst. But it can hardly be doubted that to its door many be laid much of the industrial unrest and economic fern'nnt that is churnnc in America today. The sinister enread of Hearstism throuohout the country in what is obviously determined no1iciv toward extended influence and con- tro1 cannot be viewed without alarm re cent cartoon in Life depicted William Ran do1ph Hearst as a huge octopus, whose ten aces were reaching out over the entire coun- trv and even into the Capitol at Washington. The picture appears not overdrawn.
 On the Pacific Coast he has six newspapers: San Francisco Examiner. Los Angeles Exam finer. and Seattle Post Intelligencer mornino and Sunday; San Francisco Cal-Post. Los Angeles Herald and Oakland Post-Tnonrer six day evening papers. His other newsnaners are: Morning.
