HITTING THE CITY PRESS

One of our main amusements IS glancn@ through the Dearborn Independent every week, rarely reading fully any of the articles Tt is one place where there is no advertisn~ manager to walk in and raise the roof over the editors head and no local advertiser to raise Cain over some article. As there is no rose without its thorn so the Independent has one trouble-a tendency to become common fsco1d
 This is emphasized in it's article on "Piti- less Publicitv' that appeared in a recent issue in which "Observer'' cracks a singing wh'n over the great metropolitan dailies of the country, paying his disrespects to such mon as Frank A. Munsev. William Randolnh Hearst and others who have tried to fill the shoes of the Danas and Bennetts of bygono age.
 In only two places could we discern boost and that was given the Literary Digest and the country editor. All the rest are scOlded tO 9 black finish. Regarding the country edto" "Observer'' says: "The country press still represents good American journalism Tho country editor has been ridiculed or pitied hv his alleged metropolitan colleague but t''~ difference between the two is easily trac"' the latter has money and the former has In, fluence.'
 All we liked in the article was the fact that in the midst of his torrential outburst ct abuse he still retained sanity long enoneh to pav an honest tribute to the country edito".
 His summary of his subject is probably hest expressed in the line where he says that todo" there are too many publishers who publish as against editors who edit.

runs back to the Grant administration, 1t was a reminder of an ancient scandal under which one of the best Attorney Generals this country has ever had was driven from office because his wife had made round of calls in the de- partment landaulet. Times have changed and that which once made scandal has become a universal, if not an approved practice. They all do it, and perhaps legitimately, since the requirements of Cabinet positions at Wash inyton now run so far beyond official salar- ins as practically to limit the holding of these places to men of wealth, unless there be at tached to them generous allowance of off, ficial perquisites.
 Official life at Washington has become tre- mendously money consuming. What was once mere interchange of simple Inequalities has grown into an elaborate routine. There must be interchange of visits, of dinners, of the all and-sundry that goes to support the lavish or ganization of Washington social life. To ne glcct these quite definite obligations is not merely to be regarded as unsocial and mean. IL puts positive limits upon the associations that may in their sum constitute the difference between failure and success in official life. It is truly pity that this is so. None the less it is so and~it made situation that has been relieved by allowance to high officials of certain privileges at the expense of the Government.

CRUISING WITH MAMMON

+ Time was when ~Dld Bill'' White, of Elm poria, and ''Vic'' Murdock, of Wichita, would have been regarded with suspicion in the short grass country for so much as walking down Wall Street. Had they been caught rubbing elbows with the Big Cinch, the So- cial Register and Big Business, they might have been hunted through the sunflower and kaffir patches and swung by their political necks until dead from the limb of the nearest cottonwood in the Arkansas or Neosho bot toms.
 They were paladins of the common people long before Kansas ever heard the word prole- tariat They were sons of a Populist day that knew Mary Ellen Lease and "Sockless Jerry'' Simpson, They got blisters on their tongues and calluses on their fingers fighting the good fight against the mortgage holders, the "mon- ey power of Wall Street" and all those who do grind the face of the poor.

THE CHIEF SOURCE OF REVENUE

There is food for thought in the figures published by the Times two days ago, giving the relative percentage of revenues derived by the Territory from it's four divisions. That the Third Division contributes by far the greatest percentage of revenues from all sources in the Territory is shown by the re- port of the Territorial Treasurer. Of all the fisheries taxes, contributed by the First and Third Divisions, the Third Division turns in 53.47 per cent as against the 4653 per cent ot the others. Of the revenue from mining the Third Division brings in far and away the preponderating amount, 93.43 per cent of the whole coming from this section. Of the poll tax the Third Division turns in 11.68 per cent more than all other districts combined. Only in taxes on furs does the Third Division fall short of any other, coming in close second to the Second Division. And of all the revenues from taxation in all Divisions of the Territory the Third Division stands well ahead with a percentage of 5769.
 To the plaint of the First Division that It has borne the burden of the Territorial taxes, carrying the Territory on its shoulders, this disclosure will undoubtedly come as startling disillusionment. It is but another testimonial in favor of the argument for such dlvlslon of the Territorial administration as will g1ve the Third Division a more adequate and effl- cient control of and benefit from its own pre- ponderating enterprises.
 Apropos the recent controversy over the extent of the fishing industry there IS inter esting information in the statistics showing that the revenues accruing from that source were almost three times as great as that from any other, the Territorial Treasury profitng from it from July 1st, 1916, to December 31st 1922, to the amount of $1, $50, ,438.3O

GOOD ACTS TO MAKE UP FOR BAD

You are an unusual person if you have never done thing of which you are ashamed You may not wish it known and probably you trv to forget, but there are deeds registered against you which you would give all you possess to blot out.
 Now you cannot help these acts but ther" was a time when you might have stopped before you committed them.
 You are trying to balance the scales on the other side now, but you cannot get away from the memory of them.
 If you have no reorets for the unsavor77 things you have done in the past you deserve pity.
 If your conscience is so calloused that tho evil of which you are guilty has not left a scar you are in serious stage of degenereacv
 Most of us need to do lot of good and wholesome helpful and charitable things to make up for the misdeeds against us.
 One good act for every bad one will not cancel it.
 There should be several good ones to make up for each bad act and even then you cannot stop the influence of just one bad act, nor can you imagine how far the effect of your one misdeed may reach. Are you working along this line?

PRESIDENT HARDING'S TRIP

If President Harding makes his contem- plated trip to Alaska this summer, Dawson could do no better than to invite him and his party to pass this way and visit the celebated mining camp of the stampede days of '97 and '99, the greatest placer gold camp of modern times in the worlds history When the Gov ernor-General of Canada, Lord Byng, passed through Alaskan waters last summer every little town along the way was out to honor him, and from our knowledge of his excel lency, we may feel sure that he appreciated the goodwill of Alaska $ 'citizens and buid- ers Should the opportunity arise for the people of the Yukon Territory to show re- ciprocal feeling of goodwill and friendship toward the President of the United States and his party, without doubt it would meet with a warm response.
 According to reports, the Presidential party will leave Seattle in June and sail for Alaska. Likely the President will take the Government Railroad to Fairbanks. To complete the cir cult by coming down the Tanana River, then up the Yukon to Dawson, and via Whitehorse to Skagway, would make him familiar with the vast interior country. When at Fair banks he would be within the watershed of the might Yukon River, and it is not likely that he would leave the country without seeing this great river of North America. So when summer comes Dawson may have an oppor- tunity of giving President Harading welcome which it will be hard for him to forget. - Dawson News.

TO SUCCEED BE FEARLEssLY JUST

You cannot be popular with everybody and lat the same time be successful in any line. You cannot expect to live without enemies. The only men who have no enemies are the men who have never done anything worth |while.
 Do not jump at the conclusion that this means to gain success you must override or crush every person who comes in your way.
 But it does mean that the person who does things of real merit is bound to create envy; he is likely to be hated by those who are un- willing to put forth the necessary effort to be successful; he is going to be talked about in mean way by those who are too weak, or those who have not made the necessary prep araton to warrant success.
 A successful person must be fearless and fearlessly just
 This is going to create i'll feeling with some persons, hatred in others, desire to do dam age in certain others.
 But such things must be expected by the one who would be above the ordinary in any walk of life. If popularity is more important to you than success be a nonentity.

WAsHINGTON's SOCIAL SIDE

The cossips are just now giving us interest ing qlimpses of much that makes up the back
 ground of official and nolitical life at the National Capital. The wife of a senator who, having failed of reelection retires next month,

Mrs. Poindexter has both a ready and sharp pen; and she has vented the bitterness of disappointed ambition in a series of letters to her home-t town paper at |Spokane, by recitation of trivialities and fol- lies of social life at Washington, highly spicine the same with personal allusions and caustic reflections Others have done the same or worse since time out of mind without attrac- ting special notice.

SNOW AND HIDES

--- In a department entitled "Broadcasts, the Boston Transcript takes editorial issue with a habit indulged by many papers in a
 certain kind of photography appearing "ram- pant" in their Sunday rotogravure sections
 which the staid and proper Transcript "would fain have abated'' for reasons which it pro- |ceeds to state.
 It has been the practice for some time since (says the Broadcaster) to have rotogravures of young ladies disporting themselves in the
 snow. This of itself is nowise unlawful. But they so disport themselves in state of near
 nudity, being lightly attired in their younger brothers bathing suits. No serious minded constructive man can deny that in many cases
 the effect, as an effect is extremely pleasino There is certain ioyouss statuesqueness about the spectacle that must win a smile from the most melancholy and introspectivp To be sure, no figure is ever quite up to the Louvre Venus and when all is said and done one pair
 of legs is remarkably like another. To this we expect little or no dissent from circle
 of readers as refined as it is appreciative. And the knowledge that these young ladies have had themselves photographed solely and en- Itirely for the sake of Art. but adds to that impersonal enjoyment which must ever inform the real critic.
 So much for the hides. Now we come to the snow in which these wretched young fe- males paddle about and send a cold chill through your bones whenever you see them frolicking. They smile, oh so vitally and freshly. They grasp snowballs, they do enjoy themselves so much! And the effect on the snectator is simply horrible; you feel that cold air. see as in dream yourself with those Hudson Bay zephvrs caressing your skin, you become almost delirious as you picture vour-
 self taking long moonlight walk through the solemn stiffness of the forest clad like of these maidens. You shudder as you feel the
 snow getting inside your maccasin and ledging under the instep, and it is no comfort to see the young female in the brief bathing suit profiling herself against the eternal hills. Therefore we say that such practice should be made to cease. Let these lovely girls be photographed if they will, but let us insure, gentle reader that they wear stout union suits so that all unpleasant impressions of chill may be obviated. Let them laugh and play, let them sing out their glad young Bacchic hearts, let them even by rotograved, let them continue Ito be the stays and delight of sweet old
 mothers, but do not let this hideous contrast be continued.

WIFE HIT HIM
ON HEAD WITH
PAN OF DOUGH
Imperial Man Makes
Serious Charges. In
Divorce Case

Alleging that on one occasion his
wife struck him on the head with
large pan filled with dough, and
making serious charges of infideli-
ty, Henry r. Arellanes, of Imperial,
Yesterday filed suit for divorce
from Isabelle Arellanes, presen:
whereabouts unknown to him.
The complaint states the couple
were married at Ventura December
90, 1895, and lived together until
July IA of this year. There are
five children, all minors, and the
plaintiff petitions the court to
grant custody of the children to
him.
The dough throwing incident took
place July l, 1919, when Arellanes
demonstrated with his wife regard
ing her neglect of their children.
He alleges she flew into an ungov-
;ernable rage, and cursed him, bring
ing the incident to a climax when
she picked up 4 heavy pan loaded
with dough and brought it down on
Ills head.
The charges of infidclit, al
based on Mrs. Arellanes alleged
conduct in East San Diego June %,
1923. In company with her daugh-
ter, it is claimed she lived in a hotel
with Filipino known only as
"Jim,' and encouraged her daugh-
ter to have improper relations with
another man, whose name is un-
known. As result of this esca-
pade, Arellancs petitioned the SUI
perior court to have his daughter
declared ward of the court, this
action being taken two weeks ago
and the girl committed to the state
school for girls at Ventura until she
is 2l years of age.
Subsequent to the East San Diego
affair, Mrs. Arellanes returned TO
Imperial, but left her home on July
IA, and has not returned. Arellanes
complaint states he has reason to
believe that she is living with the
Filipino known as "Jim,' and is
not fit person to have the custody
of their children.
