the old Waterman met his death with
out flnching. The car went on, the
two passengers unhurt.

"A SILLY ANSWER"
(San Diego Union, March lO)

(San Diego Union, March lO)
 Delegate to Congress from the Territory of Alaska is now on his way home after having inserted in the con- gressional record a statement that the national department of commerce had turned over to three big salmon packing concerns grab of fishing rights in Alaska
 His charges describe in detail the alleged part played by underlings of the department in securing this mon- opoly to the Chicago-San Francisco ''fsh trust" and further assert that Secretary Hoover sanctioned the affair officially.
 In reply to the delegates published charges the assistant secretary of the department issued a statement declar- ing them the most complete demago- ic bunk ever put over."
 We'll agree that the attack was omplete'-possibly that it was more or less "demagogic," an adjective that means very little nowadays. But as to whether it was or not bunk" We reserve the right along with other citizens. to withhold judgment until the charges have fair hearing before competent authorities-or until the department of commerce publishes facts that clearly contradict the dele gates assertions.
 It is high time that public servants from the cabinet of the United States down to the city trustees of the smallest town-lose a little of their facility for widespread and contempt uous denial. An official sheer has long since been discredited as effect ual disproof of all charges. In any matter concerning the public, we would rather see all the cards on the table than have the privilege of wit messing a large number of naughty sneers and hearing any number of ugly and sighting words. If the as- sistant secretary of commerce could not offer clear and courteous proof that the Alaska delegate was wrong, be would have done we'll to keep his mouth shut.
