counterfeiting? Sure, in a way 1t
was. But wasn't everybody more or
less dishonest nowadays? Gould you
be strictly honest and do business?
Wasn't all salesmanship more or less
dishonest. or at least didn't it resort

IS IDAHO AN INDIAN GIvER?

Idaho is one of the youngest States n the sisterhood and like other daughters Of fathers with comfortable bank accounts, she has not been backward about accepting largess from Uncle Sam m her efforts to catch up with her sisters in the matter of material prosperity. Indeed, when 1t comes to funds to aid irrigation, Idaho has been more generously treated than any Of the sister States. In return for the generosity of her avuncular relative Idaho consented that a portion of her terrain might be trans ferred to the control of the Department of the Interior as part of the Yellowstone Ma tional park It happens that the northeast ern corner of Idaho, which Is now the north western corner of the Yellowstone park, Is the most beautiful section of that wonderful playground, and furthermore 1t Is the sec tion of the park through which the majority of visitors enter the Yellowstone reserve.
 But commercialiSm Is raising its greedy head and demanding that the Idaho portion of the park be restored to the jurisdiction of the State, in order that great dam may be built to impound the waters of the Falls river, so that additional water may be avail able for irrigation and power purposes. There can be no dams in national parks. The promoters want the State to become ''an h. dian giver," because they see an opportunity for profit in the sale of water rights. The fact that their scheme means ruin to the most attractive portion of one of the great est national playgrounds of the world means nothing to these men, and they propose to force an amendment to the national parks bill, to restore to the jurisdiction of Idaho that nortion of the Yellowstone which the State consented should become a Federal re serve forever.
 It is inconceivable that Congressman Smith, who is one of the two representatives of the State,in the House, and chairman of the committee on public lands, will permit the demands of a few promoters to outweigh the right of the American public to enjoy all of the Yellowstone National park

PASSING OF THE BANANA

Just as the United Fruit Company Is congratulating itself upon the result of its campaign to create worldwide demand for benanas comes distressing news from Paris Statistical reports of the exports from the or three years there has grown up in Eu- West Indies show that within the last two rope steadily increasing demand for this food staple of the Caribbean. The news now comes from Paris that the boom in the fruit has busted"
 Only a few months ago The Post took occasion to comment upon the activities Of the banana boosters of Boston, who inaug- urated a campaign which promised to result in placing bunch of bananas in every pan try in war-torn France, and even to induce the Teutons to substitute the most deli cious thing in the world" as described by Benjamin Disraeli, for the course 'sauer- kraut and speck" which forms So large a portion of their diet. Very naturally the Bostonese banana boosters assumed that the demand had been created by the propa- ganda which they had been conducting.
 But the demand is one the ebb, and with its disappearance is dissipated the supposi- ton that Boston is entitled to the credit for that demand No, it was not due to the mercenary work of he Hubites. It was the Iheart-wrenching appeal of that classic com position, 'Yes, we have no bananas" accord ing to the Associated Press, which created the demand. Now, alasl the vogue Of the lyric has waned, and with 1t disappears the fruit itself. o, fickle musei

WRITING UP A WEDDING

Most newspaper men shrink from the task of writing up a swell wedding, and pre- fer to pass that responsible duty to fe- male society editor. Yet there are excep- tions. Occasionally an editor is found who can paint word pictures of nuptial events that any lady reporter might envy.
 We just discovered one like that, who appears to be hiding his great talents in an obscure Kansas town, while he ought to be holding down big city job. Here is sam- pie of his literary ability, which proves our point:
 ''It was wonderful wedding. The girl was as sweet as any girl who ever lived, but modern. As she walked up the aisle on her fathers arm, her lips lightly tilted at the corners with happy smile, she was pic ture of modest beauty. Her filmy wedding gown and gossamer veil floated around her fair blonde head like halo. She was as nearly an angel as girls get to be in this world. At the altar as she passed from her father, the man she had always loved, to the other man to whom she would devote the rest of her life, her dainty slipper touched potted lily resting on the floor and turned it over. Smiling again, she turned to the dear old pastor waiting at the chancel, and said: That was hell of a place to put a lily'."

GOODBYE SALMON
The Libby company is sending

The Libby company is sending an aVla- tor north to Bristol Bay to spot salmon. Much food. At the present time salmon are supposed to be scarce in Alaska and the question has never been solved No more salmon have been taken out of Alaska wa ters now but still restrictions remain in or der for propagation of the sea food. What has become of the salmon? Could it be that Alaska waters teeming with steamships are annoying this fish and routing them to other waters more peaceful? There is logic in the statement-still the Libby company is sending their plane north to spot salmon, an annoyance greater than what ten steamers could do, judging by the noise they make We would venture to say that by the time that plane scars Bristol Bay waters once all the salmon in that district will be looking for another playhouse and the canners will again broadcast their howl that Alaska's fishing industry is on the wane and the gov ernment in turn tack on some more restric- tiOnS

TIME ID BEGIN PLANNING
 F0R FOURTH JULY FLOAT

All Seward business houses are re- quested to begin giving some thought to their float for the 4th of July par ade. Not for years will there be such a. throng of people in the city as there will be this year and it is essential that visitors leave Seward with me mories which will finger for years. And a good parade will do it. Prizes are listed for certain floats but the awards are the smallest part of the parade. With brass band marching in line it is very important to Seward that almost without exception every business house should be represented in some manner. Marshal of the Day Robert Guest will lead the parade as tride horse.

LOW HANGING STAR SEEN
 T0 WEST WAS VOLCANO
 ACCORDING ID ARRIVALS

Arrivals in Seward few days ago on the steamer Starr report that on June IS, it was thought for a few hours, a new star in the Armament had been discovered. During the dense fog of Unimak Island, what was thot a low hanging star was glimpsed in the direction of NJ. Shishaldin. However, in about an hour 1t was seen that the star was the glow from -he volcano This was on the morning of the above date at 2:30 o'clock, and while sailing on the Boring sea side of the Aleutian chain.
 Passengers and officers on the yes sel watched the volcano until the yes sel rounded a turn and lost sight of it but they report it was an awe-in- spring and beautiful thing to see. At times the glow would diminish almost out of sight then flare up like a black smiths forge, or when blast furnaces are opened and closed. The reflection from these flares scared out as if million gigantic searchlights were playing on the clouds above As far as could be ascertained no eruption had taken place.

Trant is an old friend of the cham pion's and has been his training camp buddy for years. He was with Dempsey long before Jack won the title. He was in Jacks corner when he won his first im- pressive victory - knocking out Homer Smith in two punches in Racine, Wis, back In 1918. For that victory Dempsey received the princely sum of S90.
 Dempsey set to work on a new set of sparring partners yesterday, but they failed to withstand the bombardment. Two of them crum- pied before a round. Harry Greb, former worlds middleweight cham pion, says Dempsey needs more rugged mates, at least that was his verdict after watching the work out. Greb may be induced to step a couple of rounds with the cham pion. Greb knows Tunney's style. having fought him five times for total of 64 rounds
