The Power of the Press.
(Cordova Times


 Alaska has been having interesting demonstra- tion lately of the varied in which that old and woll-known party the Power of the Press is wont to work after a fashion, the fnality and effect of which is incontrovertible. In the reports out by the various newspaper correspondents who accom- panied President Harding his tour of Alaska have been stories sensational or grumpy, true false cording 10 the policies and characters of the papers or the humor the correspondents happened to be in when they wrote them. Some of these articles appearing in conservative and reputable papers have been penned with conscientious desire to present the truth, but the extent to which the personal equation may color report is shown in recent dispatch in the New York Times from Cordova at the end of the Presidential tour the entire of which is to the effect that pessimsm as to the future of Alaska the final conclusion of the President and his associates. up to the people ? 'Pessimism as to the future," Never be able to maintain large population Resources not en- couragng 10 the great future predicted, are some CT the phrases that carry through article which outlining sufficient facts to give it's conclusions nimca to the interests of the Territory This inter- pretaton is directly contrary to the sentiments ex- pressed by the President afterward in his Seattle address when he declared himself entirely optims- tic of Alaska's future, spoke of its enormous re- sources which. however, he rightly declared would require time for development and announced that he had found nothing wrong" with Alaska The fact that even the Presidents speech is but frag- mentally reported and published in the na- tons newspapers and subject to the interpretation CT those same reporters is but another evidence or the extent to which public opinion and Govern mental action are swayed by the individual voice. aiaska IS big country it's problems are many and dlvers It is a presumptuous man that attempts rom two-weeks tour of small section of it's area to uraW hhai conclusions as to it's future His story hss gwen us ludicrous instance of this That the country would never be able to maintain a large population was said of the entire region west of the oho River that the continent of North America was wilderness fit only for savages was an eoualIv ihtelligent opinion of earlier day The difference was, however, that the daily newspaper was not tneh, as now, the real mouder of public opinion

 Because the Evening Post has left it's readers in no doubt of it's affirmative stand the yolstead law and enforcement feels at liberty to protest against the unhappy tone of the challenge addressed to members of the Legislature by the directors the Anti-Saloon League with respect to the mooted in- vestigaton of League activities The directors are quite right in asserting that the proposed nvestiga- ton emanates from sources hostile prohibition en- forcement But that is why they should De airad or such an investigation should describe It Tn advance as declaration of against the churches. If the League has nothing fear from tho disclosure of all it's acvites,' the proper move would nave been to challenge the opponents of pro hlDtion to go ahead and do their worst. After all 1t is on the record that William H. Anderson the leader of the Leagues fighting forces has been in dcted for alleged wrongdoing.
