THE ART OF CAPTIONS

Writers of newspaper headlines, through |exigencies of type limitations, have contrib uted largely to the coloring of the English language as it is spoken in America. Consider, for instance, the case of the Daugherty ruling against the use of liquor abroad ships A head-writer is limited by the number of let ters and spaces in a given line Liquor ire quently was too long a word in the combina tion of words necessary to sum up the body of the articles in two lines of caption. Tmidly he turned to rum, good enough word in it. self but from past usage rather meaning some thing more than liquor itself But the word suited the occasion and day by day it crept into the headlines. Hootch had served it's purpose in another phase of the liquor contro- versy And so rum has come to be accepted a synonym for liquor, though all liquors are not rum, strictly speaking.
 No head-writer ever hoped or intended that his use of youth and slain and such nice little aides-de-camp ever should get into the mouth of the mob Both are good words, how ever, in newspaper making because "eye'' words and may be justified for no other req son. No, newspaper head writers do not talk in the language they sometimes employ in their head-writing. And if one doubts their judgment when he has left off reading this. just let him try to write two lines of 36-point Gothic say 16 units to the line, and tell if he can what this is all about.

FACTS OR THEORIES: WHICH ARE TO
 BE BELIEVED

Forbes, magazine mouthpiece of the import ers' and international bankers attitude to- ward the American protective policy, prints 9 cartoon in which the new tariff bill, pistol in |hand is shooting the GU. S.'' out of business. Since the inauguration of the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln. a staunch pro |tectionist the United States has had just fifty years of protection and twelve years under tariff laws framed in the interests of the i'm porters and alien producers. Was the U. S.
 out of business during that fifty years? Is if not fact that during that period this nation experienced the most remarkable growth in foreign and domestic trade and the greatest increase in wealth and industrial power, any nation in all the worlds history has ever known, while the free traders were mouthing during the whole time the very assertions against protection "Forbes' is still parrot ling? Is it not true that each of the two periods of departure from the protective prin- ciple eliminated in widespread unemployment and diminishing foreign and domestic trade? Which are we to believe, the statistics of trade. the established facts of history, or the unsup- ported assertions of international bankers and importers willing to sacrifice the interests of the American people in behalf of their ad- ventures and invest tments abroad?

WHEN HOME FOLKS FAIL

"One of the best things you ever did for yourself" said one friend to another. "was to go and stay among strangers immediately after you were married"
 The one who made the remark had been always among relatives and homefolk.
 The one who made the remark was dis gusted because in every effort to get ahead and accomplish something unusual, some one of the homefolk or an intimate friend would llaugh and say: ''What do you know about that? Billy is making big bluff that he knows So-and-So and this and that and-whv he has never been away from home, and ' could do it as well as he, if I had the nerve"
 And so ''the wrench fell in the works" and another ambition was killed.
 and dearest do not appreciate the ability nor and dearest dfo not appreciate the ability nor the possibility of the characters associated with them in the home life.
 Neither do they appreciate how many long |ings have been stifled and embryonic efforts dashed by the shallow laugh of a supposed friend, brother or sister, when a bit of faith and encouragement might have made really great character in the long run.

NO ONE STOPPING HIM

The chaplain of Columbia University says it would be practical application of the charity of. Abraham Lincoln to remit the Allied debt to this country. He is wrong, The transaction would involve breaking faith with every taxpayer and Liberty Bond owner in the country, and the saddling of an addi- tional burden of $11 O00,000,OO0 upon the pub lie Treasury. That was not Lincoln's brand of Americanism neither did he extend charity at the expense of his countrymen If the learned Columbia divine wishes to do his part toward the cancellation of the debt he can send his Liberty Bonds to any of the debtor governments, but he should not urge others to do the same.

LEGISLATOR CONDEMNS HARDING

Representative Grant, of WrangeIl, has in troduced resolution in the Territorial Legis- lature condemning the Administration for it's action in creating a fisheries reserve in the waters of Alaska and demanding the immed- fate abolition of such reservation.
 Not often, if ever, in the history of the nation has a State of Territorial Legislature. proponderantly made up of one party, con- demned the Federal Administration of the same party. It is so unusual that the sugges tion of it becomes almost amazing beyond comprehension.
 The present Administration has shown keen interest in Alaska, and it's bureaus and de- partments have recommended legislation for the Territory which as yet has been, ln several instances overlooked or disregarded. Presl- i dent Harding himself has shown special in terest in the Territory. He has repeatedly expressed the desire to come to Alaska, to gain first-hand information regarding it, and has promised that he will make the long journey during the coming Summer unless something of vital national or international interest prevents. And if he does come, he will have shown more regard for Alaska than any of his predecessors, for never in history has President or even an eX-Presdent set foot in the Territory.
 And now, when he is about to so honor the Territory, is he to be greeted with slap in the face from the Legislature? It is un th:nkable And it is to be hoped that every member of the Territorial Legislature will give serious consideration to the proposed resolution.
 As Mr.. Houston, Assistant Secretary of Commerce. we'll said recently, as quoted in an Associated Press dispatch, the Admins tration only stepped in as a last resort be- cau;e it had not been possible to get legislation to cover the situation, and that the reserve would only exist until such time as Congress acts in the matter President Harding IS not attempting to usurp the function of Congress- nor has he at any time. On the contrary, he has shown unusual consideration for the wish es and feelings of Congress.
 Likes and dislikes, and politics, should ab- soiutelv be forgotten in the consideration of the proposed resolution: Only one thing should be considered, and that is whether the Terri tory of Alaska wishes to insult President Harding? It may be argued that even of greater consideration than that is the abridg- ment of personal rights of fishermen, or the conservation of the fisheries. But such Is not the case, for the proclamation of the President will stand until Congress meets again next December as now in tended. If the Legislature wishes to do something constructive but not insulting in the premises, let it adopt resol11-

EAST DISCUSSES ALASKA FISHERIES

The question of the perpetuation of the Alaska Fisheries has become favorite topic for discussion and comment among the news papers of the East. Several papers recently have contained long articles on the subject and they have ecited not little comment The Boston Herald recently contained whole page, with several illustrations, giving fairly accurate review of the situation with history of the salmon industry beginning with the Sacramento River in the '60s and coming northward through Oregon and Washington tC Alaska.
 Commenting upon the article and the action of Secretary Hoover in setting apart reserva tions in certain parts of Alaska, in an editorial leader, the Herald says:
 The commission of the Federal Bureau of Fisheries reports that last year the sal mon canneries of Alaska packed and dis tributed throughout the United States and Europe over 250000,000 cans of sal mon, requiring for this huge product, and also for local and chilled demand, not less than 70,0000O0 of large fish. Of course it cannot be expected that this tremend- ous and increasing drain upon the finest game and commercial fish of either ocean can continue without affecting the supply.
 Elsewhere in this issue of The Herald will be found startling story of the ap preaching extinction of the Alaskan sal mon, due to the unsuitable demand of the canners, unless Congress acts promptly to establish systematic and rigid control by the Federal Government so as to regu- late the catch and protect the spawning fish, Thus far, held back by various sel- fshs interests, on the Pacific Coast, each ono bent only on present profit, Congress has been slow to act. An ''investigation' has been ordered. investigation is all ';ght. It is the favorite indoor sport of Congress and generally leads nowhere. Meantime the canneries grow in number and capacity and the salmon decrease.
 A few years ago the waters of Puget Sound and the Columbia River were alive with salmon. That region furnished nearly all the canned salmon demanded by the country. From these waters the salmon have now vanished so completely that of last seasons total pack, the coasts of Washington and Oregon furnished less than 10 per cent. Now the slaughter has moved on to Alaska. Commissioner of . Fisheries, himself West coast man and a specialist in salmon fisheries, predicts only three more years of large pack from Alas kan waters and then the rapid decrease of fish toward extinction. This is a serious business for the whole nation, for which, and especially for crowded Eastern cities, canned salmon is a staple food.
 Secretary Hoover, true to his note worthy record as food expert, appealed to Congress a year ago for an adequate law to establish supervision by the Bureau of Fisheries over the number of salmon to be caught and to protect spawning. Congress failed to act and the President, at the Secretary's request, declared linn

 While the Legislature is considering this Grant resolution, it will also have before it a resolution extending an invitation to Presi- dent Harding to visit Alaska during the Sum mer. If it passes the Grant resolution, to be consistent, it should kill the resolution of invitation.

Four wealthy society men in New York were sentenced to four months in jail on con- viction of bootegging It was testified that they had sold about 100000 cases of liquor at profit of around $S0 per case, and yet their friends thought the court was very harsh on them. How many readers would be willing to go to jail for four months if they were given $2,400,000 for so doing?

NJ. 0. DEFICIT
Editor of Jim jam Jems Also
Hears Magnus Johnson Dis
cussed Freely in Chicago

Detroit is all "het up" over a de-
ficit of $4,000 in the July operat-
ing expenses of the municipal street
railway. Ucording to Wallace Camp
bell, editor of Jim Jam Jems. who
returned this morning from a trip to
the Twin Cities, Chicago and the
Michigan metropolis. The deficit
in the municipal street car lines Of
Detroit is claimed to be caused by
recently raised wage scale Of EN-.
ployes, he said.
Mr.. Campbell found many people
in Chicago and Detroit much inter.
ested in the Magnus Johnson victory
for senator in Minnesota. There, he
said the victory is regarded as q
precursor of elections in other
states, sort of handwriting on
the wall. The farm bloc is taken
more seriously than ever before, and
there is a more general recognition
among big business men that general
prosperity cannot last unless thu
middle-west farmer is prosperous
he said. The agricultural situation il
now taken seriously, he added.
Mr.. Campbell found much talk Of
Henry Ford for president, he said
but added that no one knew what
Ford would do except Ford himself
and Ford is now on camping trir
in the wilds of Michigan. There is
much sentiment for Ford in Detroit
and throughout Michigan, he said.
While in Chicago Mr.. Campbell
and Sam Clark visited Mr.. and Mrs
E. G. Patterson at the Presbyterian
hospital. Mrs. Patterson was very
cheerful and hopes soon to return
home, he said.
Mr.. Campbell reports the publish.
ing business as optimistic. He went
to Detroit to attend to the proposed
third edition of their Federal Re-
serve book being distributed from
there. The third edition will make
a total issue of $4,000 copies.

JUDGE HOLDS
BAR BOARD ACT
TO BE VALID
Supreme Court May Appoint
Members and Lawyers
Fund May Be Used

The act of the 1923 legislature
taking power of appointing members
of the State Bar Board from the
Governor and giving it to the su-
preme court is held constitutional, in
a memorandum opinion Of District
Judge Fred Jansonius, made today
The court also held that the law
of the legislature appropriat;ng $10,-
600 from funds Of the Bar Board
to be used in the purchase and re-
pair of books for the supreme court
library was not unconstitutional.
The State Bar Board, composed of
c. ]. Fisk, S. E. Ellsworth and r
Goer, had obtained an order restrain
ing E. J. Taylor, librarian; J. H.
Newton, clerk of the supreme court
and the state auditor and treasures
from expending the money appropri-
ated. The bar board fund is created
from the annual license foe paid by
lawyers.
Judge Jansonius found that since
it is provided the supreme court
shall appoint members Of the Bar
Board from lawyers Of the Bar asso-
citation the question naturally arises
whether the district court has any
jurisdiction in the matter. For the
purpose Of permitting the case to be
finally decided, however, he put
aside questions Of jurisdiction.
The court held that the Bar Board
is really an agency of the supreme
court and therefore the constitution
al provisions which prohibit appoint
i've power being lodged in the su-
preme court does not obtain.
