THE LITERACY TEST

tract the attention of the Verstovian. It is charged that the "Indian Herders" are proposing "literacy test laws without teeth in them,' with the implication that such laws to be effective, must show teeth. That is what fierce canines do with the purpose of intimidation. If this is the meaning of the editor we are against it.
 The Verstovian favors iteracy test for voters. But the question as to what constitutes fair literacy test is not simple one. It is only necessary to consult the table of "Voting Qualifications" in the Worlds Almanac to ascertain that there are about as many concep tions of the term as there are states in the Union. They vary all the way from "the good moral character" of Connecticut to the property ownership of Alabama, and the persons specially disqualified range from "Chinese" to "U. s. sol diers and sailors"
 
 are not fair criteria. Between a lenient suffrage law and one de- signed to discriminate against the Indian we must choose the former. It is greatly to be regretted that the discussion in Alaska of this inn portant question should be tinctured with race prejudice and based upon the caprice of partisan politics. No proper iteracy test can emerge from such a conscienceless and il- logical source.
 It is also stated that "the whole history of the West has shown that about the least competent people in the world to judge the Indian or decide upon Indian policies have been missionaries and their teach ers."
 The editor, we believe, will con- cede the value of missionaries and teachers in bringing education to to politicians. Long before the fed eral government had moved toward the establishment of schools in Alaska, Mrs. Mcfarland, at Wran- gell, and Miss Kellogg, at Sitka, had opened their schools under the auspices of a mission board. For a number of years following, the only educational facilities offered in Alaska, aside from those maintained by the Russian church, were the day schools of the Presbyterian church.
 The Verstovian is willing to con- cede that regard for needy peo- pie so seriously entertained as to lead to sacrifice to relieve it will probably be followed by prejudi- cial affection for such people. But,

John Rvs, nineteen; John Emelito, twenty-one, were killed in the cleo tric chair night before last for mur- dering a Chinese. Their notion that a Chinese didn't count did not save them from the electric chair.
 When, if ever, and where and how will those three meet again, the Chinese, and two white men that killed him. Will the Chinese look like a Chinese, and the white men look like white men, on the other side of the river of death? Is there any race prejudice there? Do they all look alike, or how ?-Brisbane.

ROlaping Around
Radio Dial
By Listener-In

Graham McNamee. who has been
crowned by popular opinion, the
king of announcers." has defended
his crown successfully from the
assaults Of voice experts and
emerged from "a scientific contest
with other New York announcers
with added laurcls. -
McNamee, who is WEAF'S prize,
has been selected by the radio
voice technique committee Of New
York University, as the best all
around announcer in the New York
district.
The final selection came. after a
series of meetings during the past
four months under the direction of
voice experts Of New York Univer-
sity. Every phase OF announcing
has been studied and the announc-
ers have been rated at various
times according to their qualifica-
tions along some particular line.
but in this. the final selection,
everything has been taken into
consideration. i
McNamee barely nosed out Brok-
enshire of WIZ by less than /
per cent, the ratings being 87.3 and
S6.9. Thus the experts have agreed
with popular opinion in the selec-
fion OF the best announcers.
Among the surprises of the final
rating is the absence from the list
OF the ten best Of the. name OF Roxy,
who has achieved so much national
fame. OF course, Roxy is not on
Iannouncer in the striclest sense of
the word, most OF his popularity
having been achieved as a program
director rather than as an an
nouncer.
Others who were rated among
the ten best are: Cross, Of VIZ:
Granlund, WIN; Carlfn, WEAF;
Reed, WIZ; Haupt WEAF; Squires,
WMCiA: Morgan, WGBS, and Bar
nett, OF WOR. \
In addition to rating the an:
nouncers, the committee gave its
reasons for the selections. Nc
Nance was called the most color
ful exponent OF the WEAF school
of formal announcing. Successful
in investing his announcements

with an air of genuine friendliness
and interest. Accurate and distinct
in his enunciation but inclined to
speak too deliberately. Inclined
also to be verbose and over.flowery
in rhetoric.
OF Brokenshire, they said: An
unusually animated announcer char
acterized by a friendly converse
tional style. Talks briskly, but with
perfect clarity. Inclined to overdo
efforts to create impression OF
brezzineSs." -
Cross they called "a safe an
nouncer with one Of the most dis
tfnct Of all radio deliveries but to
an announcer whose vocal manner

Wheat Undergoes Another
 Sharp Setback in Price

Chicago, March 5.-Wheat under went a further sharp set back in price today after l1esitating start, for a while. the market showed disposition to- rally owing to the fact that the Liverpool market held comparatively steady in the face of yesterdays big break in prices on this sidesof the Atlantic. Indica- tions of export business overnight tended also to lift values, but selling on the part of houses with eastern connections proved to be of much greater volume than could be read fly absorbed, and May dropped to 1S9na. The opening, which ranged from 14c decline to Mc advance, May, 102 to 192& and July 169 to 169A, was followed by a rise to 193A for May and then by a pro- nounced general setback.
 Corn and oats were governor by the action of wheat. After opening at Hc decline to hc advance, May 131 to 1313s, corn suffered a mater lal drop all around.

TELLS R0TARIANS
 OF POWER PROJECT
Millions O, Dollars Involved in
 Gigantic Enterprise

Super power projects and tho pro- posed Canadian power proposition, with the inter-connecting plant now being discussed and considered by power plants in New England were explained to the members of the New Britain Rotary club at the Bur ritt hotel today by Charles F. Camp bell, secretary and treasurer of the Connecticut Light and Power Co.,. at Waterbury. 1..#
 MT. Campbell explained that tho project would involve international relations with Canada and would be one of the largest engineering feats ever' attempted. He said that the placing of sub-stations and trans mission lines alone would involve an expenditure of a hundred million dollars.
 He cited several projects under consideration, one being the St. Law renee river plan, one being Niagara Falls and another being a river de- velopment power source at Quebec.
 He said 1t might not mage cheaper power but it would conserve the con sumption of coal for industrial pur- poses and make available an unIim- ited supplyaof power,
 He explained the system of inter communicating plants so that instead of each plant carrying a large re- serve supply of power, one or two plants could carry enough for a group.
 One of the big problems in build ing power stations he said was that of having sufficient supply Of water, and that Connecticut rivers were subject so much to reasonable changes that they are unreliable. In January, 1924, he said the Devon plant was unable to generate from water power 12 million kilowat hours, while in January, 1924, this dropped 10 two million and it was necessary 10 rely on steam power.
 A. A. Mills and Fred G. Russell were awarded 100 per cent badges for having a perfect attendance rec ord for year.
