"Telegraphoto." :"

New York newspapers are having a
lively shindy over a certain illustra
tion that appeared in one OF them the
other day labeled "telegraphoto' of
a scene in the fistic encounter at
Shelby, Mont, that whatever its sue
cess as a sporting event, was such a
financial fizzle. Immediately on its ap-
pearance skeptics analyzed it, and
pointed out with significant parallels a
striking resemblance to a photograph
Of a scene in the Dempsey Willard
fight at Toledo In 1919. Certain slight
differences were explained. but re-
semblances were such as to lead d.
ture, which the title indicated had
been transmitted by wire, by some un-
explained new process Of instantaneous
reproduction, was, in fact, the product
OF a camera Of four years ago and
the artists brush Of today. Now comes
the enterprising printer Of the "tele-
graphoto" and explains-or insists,
rather-that there was no attempt to
deceive. that the picture was not
printed as a product OF q new art OF
instantaneous transmission. but was
drawn in New York on an old back
ground at the telegraphic dictation Of
expert descriptive writer's at the ring
side at Shelby. According to the ex-
PLANTATION great expense was incurred
in the sending OF vivid and detailed de-
scriptions OF the exact positions of the
two fighters. But a study Of the two
pictures, that Of 1919 and that sup
posed to be Of today. would suggest
that this was a wanton waste Of tele-
graphic tolls. ~
Taken altogether, it would seem
that more care should be taken in the
coming of words to describe a new
and complicated process Of "iong-dis-
tance illustrating"

LIQUOR by Prescription

Decision by federal court in Mon.
tana that the provision in the Vol.
stead act limiting the number of ply
sicians' prescriptions Of liquor and the
quantity so prescribed Is contrary to
the Constitution, and therefore invalid,
necessitates the earliest possible rul-
ing by the Supreme Court upon this
question for final determination. This
matter, like that involving the ship
liquor cases, must have definite de.
cision by the highest court.
Judge Bourquin rules that the
statute in providing that only a GER
tain number of prescriptions, and for
a maximum quantity Of liquor, may
be written by physician in the course
Of q given period is contrary to the
Constitution for the, reason that as
patients are not alike, and as diseases
are dissimilar, the dosage cannot be
arbitrarily fixed. This ruling 10 similar
to that of Federal Judge Knox of New
York. who, early in May. granted an
order restraining prohibition authori-
ties from interfering with the practice
Of a physician as to the amount Of
liquor that might be prescribed for one
person. The Montana decision. how
ever. goes further in it's conclusion,
and, if it is sustained by the higher
court, wholly nullifies the provision Of
the statute with respect to prescrip-
tion liquor.

The Recorders Office.

Suit was filed yesterday in the
Municipal Court to evict the recorder
Of deeds from the building occupied by
his Office. The lease for this building,
it appears, expired on the last day Of
the fiscal year, and the owners want
possession. No provision had been
made in anticipation Of the end OF the
lease for securing other quarters. The
government has no power to com.
! mandeer rented quarters in time Of
peace, and 1t Is difficult to see how the
owners can be denied ultimate pos.
session.
The case is a peculiar one. The re-
corder of deeds does not want to stay
where he is, and the owners Of the
building do not want him there, but
the office cannot be moved in a hurry.
1t Is the repository Of priceless records
involving title to real estate in the
District Of Columbia. The loss Of
these records would be irreparable,
and would put in jeopardy millions of
dollars worth Of property. They can.
not be carted around the streets like
furniture or slowed away in insecure
quarters. '.'
For a long time efforts have been
made to secure an appropriation from
Congress for suitable permanent
home for this Office, without result.
Authorization has been given for the
preparation Of plans, but that is as

Alaska.

President Harding's trip to Alaska
is notable as the first time a Chief
Executive Of this country has ever
visited that distant possession OF the
United States. Though it was acquired
sixty years ago, Alaska has been iso-
lated as far as direct executive super.
vision Is concerned until now. Presi-
dental interest has been expressed
through governors. who have. Of
course, kept the White House closely
informed Of conditions. But for vari.
Gus reasons the Presidents have never
visited the northland territory. The
trip is long one, and until recent
times past journey to Alaska was
looked upon as almost equivalent to a
trip to the polar regions, full Of peril
and privation. But now 1t Is a pleas
ant excursion. Commodious, comforta-
BILE and rapid steamers ply the waters
Of the coast. Excellent accommoda-
tions have been provided In Alaska In
the summer the climate is delightful.
Now a railroad has been built through
the country. and one Of the incidents
of the Presidents trip will be the driv.
ing Of a golden spike completing this
important construction.
II seems only a yesterday Of history
when the news came down the coast
that rich gold deposits had been dis
covered in Alaska, and a great rush
began in that direction. Thousands Of
men, and even some women, hurried
overland from all parts Of this coun.
try to embark for the Yukon-which
Is not American territory-and other
Alaskan gold fields. They taxed the
steamers to the limit. They went with
inadequate provisions and insufficient
means. Many Of them fell by the way
side, checked before they reached the
sailing point. Others We're halted at
the Alaskan coast. Many Of them fell
on the terrible trail across the White
Horse pass and other painful passages
in the long tramp into the gold field.
This epic movement Of the gold
seekers, though II brought sorrow and
suffering and loss and death to many,
was the making Of Alaska. Previously
the country had been chiefly notable
for it's fisheries. Now it became
treasure house. Immense wealth was
taken from II. but more wealth lay
within reach. awaiting only discovery
and development-wealth Of another
kind, coal and timber, and even agri-
cultural products. The gold rush
brought these resources to light, and
Stewards Folly" as Alaska was
known In the days OF its American
purchase. appeared as one Of the rich.
est investments any country ever
made in the way OF territorial acquisi-
ton.
Now the President of the United
States is going for the first time to
see this rich land, this region Of long
winters and short summers. this store
house Of wealth, this land OF opportu-
nifty which under the American flag
has prospered and is now annually
turning back to the parent country
more than was paid for its. purchase.

Value OF Press.
Throughout the years the press.
generally speaking. has been the
agency of progress and of right
eousness. The voice of the editor
usually is the voice of the en-
lightened and right minded people
of the community, yet many per-
sons continue pessimistically to
inquire whether the power of the
press. now universally recognized
In American life, is a power for
good or i'll. We form a liking for
a favorfte newspaper and are apt
to be critical of all others. The
average public official is'prone to
conceive as great moral agency
that newspaper which commends
him TO his fellow citizens as a man
whose life is worthy of emulation
and whose views and conduct
work for good. We have been slow
to realize that the right of one
editor to praise Is the right of
another TO criticize and condemn.
The fault is not in newspaperdom
dear reader, but in ourselves.
Mindful that faithful are the
wounds OF a friend, we should
realize that valuable are the
sword thrusts of a dissenter.

TO hear both sides before render
